August 15 ~ THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY.
ON this festival, the Church commemorates the happy departure from life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and her translation into the kingdom of her Son,
in which she received from Him a crown of immortal glory, and a throne above all the other Saints and heavenly spirits. After Christ, as the triumphant Conqueror of death and hell, ascended into heaven, His blessed Mother remained at Jerusalem, persevering in prayer with the disciples, till, with them, she had received the Holy Ghost. She lived to a very advanced age, but finally paid the common debt of nature, none among the children of Adam being exempt from that rigorous law. But the death of the Saints is rather to be called a sweet sleep than death ; much more that of the Queen of Saints, who had been exempt from all sin. It is a traditionary pious belief, that the body of the Blessed Virgin was raised by God soon after her death, and taken up to glory, by a singular privilege, …Mai

"Tartary, and Northern China on the east, and Sweden and Norway to the west, were evangelized by him, and he is said to have visited Scotland. Everywhere multitudes were converted, churches and convents were built; one hundred and twenty thousand pagans and infidels were baptized by his hands. He worked numerous miracles, and at Cracow raised a dead youth to life."

Priest Alters Words of Consecration, Nuns Appear as "Concelebrants".
Worse than Germany: A video published by InfoVaticana.com shows Trinitarian nuns at the Monastery of Suesa in Cantabria, Spain, standing around the altar like concelebrants, with their hands extended during the Eucharistic Prayer. The celebrating priest altered the words of consecration, using feminine forms. He said, “Tomad y comed todas de él” (“Take and eat, all of you” — using the feminine todas). Furthermore, he prayed “for all humanity” instead of “for many.” He also replaced “Do this in memory of me” with: “Do this to remember that I am among you as one who serves.”

They’re Putting Medicine in the Flour — And Calling It Public Health
In this video we examine the UK’s new mandatory folic acid fortification policy, set to take full effect in December 2026. Non-wholemeal wheat flour will be required to contain synthetic folic acid under the Bread and Flour (Amendment) Regulations 2024.
We look at:
What the official regulations actually say
The government’s stated benefit numbers versus the more detailed assessments
The difference between natural folate and synthetic folic acid
How folic acid is regulated when sold as a medicine versus when it is added to food The original Hungarian trial data that is frequently cited Questions around consent, transparency, and population-wide exposure
This is not medical advice. It is an examination of publicly available regulations, impact assessments, parliamentary records, and published scientific literature. Key sources referenced: Bread and Flour (Amendment) Regulations 2024 UK government impact assessments and …Mai

The Memorare of Saint Bernard
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee. O Virgin of Virgins my mother! To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. youtube.com/watch?v=gHCFqEZR-Jg

A DOUBTFUL POPE - More Evidences - CANON 332

Further evidences as to the irregular CONCLAVE 2025 [illegal / rule break] as to the status of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV
Canon 332 §1 declares Pope Leo XIV an anti-pope
We are living in a very peculiar age in the history of the Catholic Church. As readers of FromRome.Info, from February 11, 2013 until December 31, 2022, the Catholic Church was caught up in a program of mass confusion which broke out over the terms of Canon 332 §2, which reads as follows:
Canon 332 § 2. — Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestatur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptatur.
Which in English is:
Canon 332 § 2. — If it happen that the Roman Pontiff renounce his munus, for validity there is required that the renunciation be made freely and be manifested duly (rite), but not that it be accepted by anyone at all.
Here “rite” means in accord with due procedure: “rite” being the Latin word for “according to the ritual”.

I wish I could give this post many loves and likes. I had two experiences with an old 1800's kjv book. And once when someone told me I should be a prot. I was not only disgusted but sickened by the words alone. The thought was rejected immediately!
Now I know what to do with an old kjv from the 1800's that my son gave me he found. If I remember I will give to my Priests. I keep forgetting I have it because I put them in plastic and placed it where I rarely ever look or go into. Plus two tiny gideons.

Vatican Noncommittal on Hamburg Sex-Education Scandal

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Education has responded to a Catholic mother involved in a parents’ campaign against a new sexual-education framework for Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Hamburg, reports LaNuovaBq.it on August 18. Hamburg is led by Archbishop Stefan Heße.
The response was sent to Varinia Arauco, a Peruvian-born mother involved with the ‘Parents’ Network for Child Protection and Prevention’. Arauco and other parents have appealed to Church authorities in Germany and Rome over the Archdiocese of Hamburg’s framework “Male, Female, Diverse: Framework for Sexual Education at Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Hamburg.”
The framework was published in 2025 and is intended to be implemented in the archdiocese’s 15 Catholic school locations from the 2026/27 school year. It explicitly supports the “acceptance of diversity with regard to sexual orientations and gender identity”
The parents also submitted a petition to Pope Leo XIV through the Apostolic Nuncio in Germany and …Mai

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: TU HONORIFICENTIA POPULI NOSTRI – Homily on the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Signum magnum apparuit in cælo:
mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus ejus.

A great sign appeared in the sky:
a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet.
Rev 12:1
On this holy day on which the Church – that is, the Church of all time, not the church that has become slave of the world and which believed it could even rewrite the praise due to the Mother of God – raises Her song before the mystery of the Assumption, allow me to lead you not to a fleeting pious emotion, but to that rock of sure doctrine on which the Fathers, Doctors and Supreme Pontiffs have built our certainty for centuries.
It was not a pious feeling, it was not a consolatory imagination that generated this festival which the East already knew as The Dormition since the 5th century, and which Rome itself solemnized at the hands of the Popes Sergius I and Leo IV. It was the very logic of Faith, that logic that Saint John Damascene was able to express with unmatched vigor:
«It was fitting that she who …Mai

Cardinal Woelki says Novus Ordo not inferior to Latin Mass in ‘beauty and dignity’

Cardinal Woelki: Novus Ordo Not Inferior to Tridentine Rite in Beauty and Dignity

The Mass in the traditional Roman rite plays “no separate or prominent role” in the Archdiocese of Cologne, "conservative" Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki told Die-Tagespost.de on the occasion of his 70th birthday on August 17.
“I see myself entirely at home in the tradition and teaching of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Woelki said. The liturgical reform was “one of the essential reforms” of Vatican II.
The cardinal expressed gratitude to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), which celebrates the Roman liturgy at designated locations in the archdiocese. “I see this as an enrichment, because there have always been different rites in the Church,” he explained.
His but: “The Novus Ordo Missae has a beauty and dignity that is in no way inferior to the Tridentine rite.”
For Cardinal Woelki, the ars celebrandi is decisive.
Liturgical abuses are not confined to the Novus Ordo, Cardinal Woelki believes. If Mass were merely "rattled off in ten to twelve minutes" - something that …Mai

20. August – Heiliger des Tages: Heiliger Samuel, Priester, Prophet & Richter von Israel
Der Prophet, der schon als Kind Gottes Stimme vernahm … und nach seinem Tod ein letztes Mal sprach. 🕯️ Die Geschichte des heiligen Samuel liest sich wie ein Drehbuch: Das verzweifelte Gebet einer kinderlosen Mutter wird mit einem Wundersohn erhört. Eine Stimme ruft in der Nacht und zwingt einen Jungen, ihr zuzuhören. Donner kracht mitten in der Schlacht auf ein feindliches Heer. Zwei Könige werden gesalbt, eine Blutlinie führt direkt nach Bethlehem. Ein römischer Kaiser trägt seine Gebeine im Jahr 406 n. Chr. durch sein Reich. Seine berühmten Worte berühren uns in einer Welt, die sich ständig im Wandel befindet, noch immer aufs Neue: „Sprich, Herr, denn dein Diener hört.“ 🙏 Und Gottes Worte an ihn treffen uns vielleicht noch tiefer: „Der Mensch sieht, was vor Augen ist, aber der Herr sieht das Herz an.“ ❤️ Die vollständige, tiefgründige Geschichte, inklusive der wohl ungewöhnlichsten …Mai

Why the Church stopped teaching wives must obey: Tim Gordon’s nuclear take
Catholic author and podcaster Timothy Gordon joins John-Henry Westen for a wide-ranging conversation on feminism, traditional Catholic marriage, and the crisis of authority in the Church. Gordon draws from the Roman Catechism to argue that modern Catholics have become uncomfortable with traditional teachings on male headship and wifely obedience. He discusses his documentary What a Woman Is, the “Diaper Gate” controversy, and the backlash his positions have received, including from women who support his arguments.
They then turn to the death penalty, where Gordon challenges recent Catholic teaching restricting capital punishment. He traces the decisive break to changes under Pope John Paul II, arguing that the traditional justification rests on retributive justice, not merely preventing future crimes.
They also talk about Pope Leo XIV, the “seamless garment” approach to pro-life issues, Amoris Laetitia, and the …Mai
