Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …Mer
Remember the good old days when the Jesuits forbade their members from becoming bishops or accepting any other kind of powerful religious or secular office to keep their innate intelligence and talent from devolving into arrogance, and resulting in their judgment about whether they existed to serve God or to improve on Him being clouded? So much of the evil that has seized the church has been initiated by Jesuits who were set free to give their conceit and arrogance free rein.
Selected quotes from the book A Wider View of the Second Vatican Council by Archimandrite Boniface Luykx. Republished in English by Angelico Press, Brooklyn, NY, 2025. Archimandrite Boniface Luykx (1915–2004) was a Belgian Premonstratensian canon regular, professor, and liturgical scholar. In the 1940s and 1950s he was among the leading figures of the Catholic liturgical movement and taught for many years at the University of Notre Dame’s Summer School of Liturgy. From 1960 to 1971 he served as a missionary in Africa, where he founded the Monastère de l’Assomption and taught at Lovanium University in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). Beginning in 1959, he was a member of the Preparatory Commission for the Liturgy and later served as a liturgical consultant and expert (peritus) at the Second Vatican Council, as well as one of the authors of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium). After the Council, he became a member of the Consilium …Mer
@Chung Clement Jaeho Ave brother! I share your frustration but we must always see God's will in these things and trust in His Divine Providence! I just posted an article on the Russia/Sino communist takeover of Africa and I can't believe the comments! Maybe you should check them out! God bless you!
@Jeffrey Ade"Dear Brother Jeffrey, I hope you’ve been doing well. As I mentioned before, I’ve been staying away from this place because I’m frankly disillusioned. There are just too many fools here who claim to be 'Traditional Catholics' yet offer blind support to Trump, J.D. Vance, and the current GOP. Still, I sincerely wish for your peace and well-being. Thank you so much for sharing such excellent material. It’s incredibly refreshing to see a clear critique—not just of the hypocrisy of 'Trad Inc.', but also of those so-called Traditional Catholics who blindly follow these politicians. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can call people like Trump, J.D. Vance, or Marco Rubio 'devout believers' or 'protectors of the Christian community.' As you may have heard, a French nun was recently assaulted in Jerusalem. Beyond that, while radical Zionists brutally oppress Christian communities in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Armenia, has Trump, Vance, or Rubio ever raised a …Mer
06.05.2026 Popes Leo, Francis and Benedict use the LG 16 - visible premise to interpret Vatican Council II liberally : President Trump could correct the general dishonesty of the U.S State Dept., the Vatican and Italian Govt. This dishonest interpretation of Vatican Council II is being used by the U.S State Department and the Government in Italy. The Catholic traditionalists have to accept Vatican Council II interpreted with the Irrational and not Rational Premise or be excommunicated. This is not the Gospel. This is not the truth but a falsehood. With the LG 16- error the books of Cardinal Ratzinger are no more conservative and authoritative but heretical and schismatic. It is the same with the writings of Pope Francis. For Pope Leo, Vatican Council II has exceptions for EENS. It indicates that LG 16 refers to a physically visible and not invisible case. This is dishonesty and it is irrational. Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez used the LG 16 error of Rahner and Ratzinger to interpret …Mer
Russia-US Diplomatic Row Erupts Over Citizenship Of Diplomats’ Children | WION Tensions have flared between Russia and the United States over the citizenship status of diplomats’ children. Moscow has accused Washington of “forcing” American citizenship through birthright laws, claiming it violates international diplomatic norms. The US maintains its legal framework, but the dispute has added a fresh layer to already strained ties, highlighting how even legal interpretations can spark geopolitical friction.
Chapter XIX ~ Pains of Purgatory — St. Magdalene de Pazzi and Sister Benedicta — St. Gertrude — Blessed Margaret Mary and Mother de Montoux. We read in the Life of St. Magdalene de Pazzi that one of her sisters, named Maria-Benedicta, a Religious of eminent virtue, died in her arms. During her agony she saw a multitude of angels, which surrounded her with a joyful air, waiting until she should breathe forth her soul, that they might bear it to the Heavenly Jerusalem ; and at the moment she expired, the saint saw them receive the soul under the form of a dove, the head of which was of a golden hue, and disappear with her. Three hours later, watching and praying near the remains, Magdalene knew that the soul of the deceased was neither in Paradise nor Purgatory, but in a particular place where, without suffering any sensible pain, she was deprived of the sight of God. The following day, whilst Mass was being celebrated for the soul of Maria-Benedicta, at the Sanctus Magdalene was again …Mer
"A Religious died in the flower of her age in the embrace of the Lord. She had been remarkable for her tender devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. After her death St. Gertrude saw her, brilliant with a celestial light, kneeling before the Divine Master, whose glorified wounds appeared like lighted torches, from whence issued five flaming rays that pierced the five senses of the deceased. The countenance of the latter, however, was clouded by an expression of deep sadness. " Lord Jesus," cried the saint, " how comes it that whilst you thus illumine your servant, why does she not experience perfect joy?"
"Until now," replied the good Master, "this sister has been worthy to contemplate my glorified humanity only, and to enjoy the sight of my five wounds, in recompense for her tender devotion to the mystery of the Holy Eucharist ; but unless numerous suffrages are offered in her favour, she cannot yet be admitted to the beatific vision, on account of some slight defects in the observation of her holy rules."
On 29 April, the Canadian homosexual activist Jake Tucker, 39, was found guilty of multiple sex-trafficking and assault-related charges following a trial in Barrie, Ontario. Tucker is in a homosexual "marriage" and produced/bought a baby girl via surrogacy. In the past, he has organised homosexual events, drag nights, flag raising, and other local activist initiatives. According to prosecutors, Tucker recruited, controlled and exploited two women for several years, arranging their prostitution and taking a share of the profits. He also used coercion, violence and drugs to maintain control. The case began in 2022, when a woman reported to the police that Tucker had trafficked her for years. Investigators later identified a second alleged victim who made similar claims. After the verdict, Tucker denied the allegations and said he plans to appeal, arguing that the women were lying and that the police investigation was flawed. He is expected to return to court for sentencing and could face …Mer
Wed May 6, 2026 - 10:35 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Catholic AfD politician Nicole Höchst has said that her party is “grounded in the Christian faith and Christian values of Catholic social teaching.” In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Höchst discussed whether the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a Christian party, her view of the Synodal Way of the German Catholic bishops, and her personal faith journey. Höchst is a member of the German Parliament, or Bundestag, and the AfD’s spokesperson for religious affairs. She is also a practicing Catholic. Regarding the AfD’s policy positions, Höchst said, “We are, after all, grounded in the Christian faith – specifically, in the Christian values of Catholic social teaching, as one might say – and this is clearly articulated, above all, in our party platform; consequently, we base many of our political positions on this Christian theological foundation. ” However, many AfD politicians are not practicing Christians, and one of the …
Glenn Beck: "Where do you stand on the WEF?" RFK Jr: "We shouldn't be paying any attention to it. It's a billionaires boys club that’s arranging for the world to shift wealth upward, and to clamp down totalitarian controls on everybody else".

"COVID we shifted $4 trillion of wealth upward. We closed all of the little guys. They were all colluding with each other to censor guys like me complaining about it."
