"Finally, we should be united to God’s will in regard to the time and manner of our death. One day St. Gertrude, while climbing up a small hill, lost her footing and fell into a ravine below. After her companions had come to her assistance, they asked her if while falling she had any fear of dying without the sacraments. “I earnestly hope and desire to have the benefit of the sacraments when death is at hand; still, to my way of thinking, the will of God is more important. I believe that the best disposition I could have to die a happy death would be to submit myself to whatever God would wish in my regard. For this reason I desire whatever kind of death God will be pleased to send me.”
[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII-XVIII Century AD; born: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/died: Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); Bishop; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian; Founder; Doctor of the Church] What has been said of dryness holds true of temptations also. Certainly we should strive to avoid temptations; but if God wishes that we be tempted against faith, purity, or any other virtue, we should not give in to discouraging lamentations, but submit ourselves with resignation to God’s holy will. St. Paul asked to be freed from temptations to impurity and our Lord answered him, saying: “My grace is sufficient for you.” So should we act when we find ourselves victims of unrelenting temptations and God seemingly deaf to our prayers. Let us then say: “Lord, do with me, let happen to me what thou will; your grace is sufficient for me. Only never let me lose this grace.” Consent to temptation, not temptation of …Күберәк

I believe that the best disposition I could have to die a happy death would be to submit myself to whatever God would wish in my regard. For this reason I desire whatever kind of death God will be pleased to send me.” This why the Sacraments should never have been denied during COVID. What better death could we have to fulfill that last sentence. (turned out to be a hoax anyway)
These miserable people can't win on the battlefield so they attack children and civilians. How much more can Russia and Putin take? I think people should thank GOD for giving the world a man like President Putin who tries to avoid an outright WW.

Italian Bishop Celebrates Alpine Mass with Hosts in a Plastic Box: Worse than Germany: On 19 July, Bishop Derio Olivero, 65, of Pinerolo, Italy, celebrated at the Chisonetto Dam near the Italian ski resort Sestriere the annual "Mass in the Valley". Around 300 people attended lying on mats. Throughout the "liturgy" the hosts remained in a plastic storage container placed on the altar. The used cup was wooden.

Locally, a former SSPX priest named William T. Welsh, who at least until recently had been living in the south suburbs, was the subject of an unusual federal court case in Chicago that began in 2020, as the government of Australia sought to have him extradited to face child sex charges. An American, Welsh once ministered in Australia for SSPX, and authorities there charged him with 11 counts of indecent assault and two counts of gross indecency with a person under 16 years, court records show. “Welsh was ordained a Catholic priest on 1 December 1985,” court records show. “In 1985 he was assigned as a collaborator in Hampton, Australia, until August 1986. After spending some time in different locations, Welsh was assigned as a prior in Hampton from January 1986 until July 1993.” While in that suburb of Melbourne, he repeatedly sexually assaulted a female parishioner when she was between 12 and 15 years old, including at times on the church property, authorities allege. The case was dropped …Күберәк

Today, Fr Michael Mary, superior of the sedevacantist Transalpine Redemptorists in Scotland, will be consecrated as an alleged bishop. Katholisch.de traced the long and tangled succession lines of schismatic bishops, focusing primarily on the lines of Marcel Lefebvre (1905-1991) and Pierre Martin Ngô Đình Thục (1897–1984). Here are the key points:. Lefebvre line (FSSPX) Among the different splinter groups, only the SSPX has significant size. In 1988, Lefebvre consecrated Alfonso de Galarreta, Bernard Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, and Richard Williamson as bishops. All four later consecrated additional bishops. In 1991, Tissier de Mallerais consecrated Licínio Rangel for the Priestly Union of St. John Mary Vianney, Brazil. Rangel and his community reconciled with Rome in 2002 and became an Apostolic Personal Administration. The same year Fernando Arêas Rifan became Rangel's coadjutor, but he was consecrated by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, with Rangel serving only as co-…Күберәк
I used to wonder how the consecration requested by Our Lady of Fatima, in unison with all the Bishops of the world could ever take place since bishops are all over the place with their beliefs. Then I realized as these bishops ascend to heresy, they are no longer bishops so it may end up being some sede, bishops, SSPX and a few good sons of the church left in the NO. There is the manageable number.

Unfortunately, it seems "most" Ukrainians know what's going on. And the Russians know all to well what's going on and who's behind it all. Both want to destroy nazism in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people wrote to Putin to destroy their conscription offices. and Russia obliged them. They wrote to President Putin since before 2014 to come and save them. But President Putin is extremely wise and knew what the west was looking for. But in 2014, he had enough. Broken hearted that so many people and mostly children were dying. So he finally stepped in and trying to be very careful not to provoke the west. But it doesn't take much to provoke them and give them a reason to attack Russia and to help the nazi government of Ukraine. In the end, Russia will be victorious in many ways. Let them try to destroy Russia. GOD has great plans for her and no evil man or otherwise can stop it.
Munich Liturgical Controversy Goes Around the Globe: Many Catholic media outlets across the globe - in English, French, Polish, Spanish, Italian, etc. - are reporting on the latest liturgical abuse from the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The case centers on a Mass for the feast of St. Mary Magdalene, where Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof delivered a "dialogue homily" together with laywoman Theresia Reischl, despite the Holy See's recent reaffirmation that the homily during Mass is reserved to an ordained minister. The celebration also featured liturgical dancing and balloons, further fueling criticism.

The former Catholic seminary and boarding school in Bay Shore, New York, is set to become a Muslim boarding school, reports LiBn.com on July 15. The United American Muslim Association (UAMA) purchased the building for $5.2 million. The 6,500-square-metre centre, founded in 1926 by the Montfort Missionaries, was used to train priests before later serving as a retreat house. Pending approval of a zoning change, the new owners intend to establish an Islamic boarding school for up to 120 boys. According to its website, UAMA aims to provide an education in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. However, local residents have organised opposition to the proposal, with many displaying 'NO Boarding School' signs throughout the neighbourhood. Picture: Google street view, #newsAjnqxreavu
The Montfort fathers seem like they are shadow of their founder. I stopped going to their website after reading there that St. Luke's gossip is not really true, just a narrative.

Archbishop Georg Gänswein, currently Nuncio to the Baltic States, praised Pope Leo XIV and U.S. President Donald Trump while attacking Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with DomRadio.de on July 22. Monsignor Gänswein said Pope Leo XIV has brought "a new sense of relief" to the Church. "Peace is the key word," he believes. "From his very first address, Pope Leo placed the peace of the Risen Christ at the center of his message." According to the nuncio, the Pope's emphasis on peace has [allegedly] transformed the atmosphere. "It has turned headwinds into tailwinds. Whether that wind will change again remains impossible to predict." Bond with Pope Benedict XVI Reflecting on his years alongside Benedict XVI, Archbishop Gänswein said their relationship developed from a professional one into a close personal friendship. "We not only worked together but also lived under one roof and spent every day together," he recalled. "During the ten years after his resignation, our relationship …Күберәк
