I read as far as I could, before my email address was required. Maybe the part of the article I didn't access says something about Vitamin D damaging the kidneys. But, many of us found out the hard way that taking mega-doses of Vitamin D to enhance immunity to all of the coronavirus variants that were going around a few years ago, wasn't such a great idea. In my case, a timely blood test alerted me to the problem. I immediately stopped taking Vitamin D and my kidney function returned to normal. (Whew that was close!)
The Rosary: A Most Extraordinarily Efficacious Devotion by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira To be a devotee of the Blessed Virgin Mary for a Catholic is not a matter of preference, inclination or sympathy, much less sentimentality. It is a matter of life or death, since it involves effectively wanting or not eternal salvation. If it is true that the only necessary mediator between Heaven and Earth is Our Lord Jesus Christ, it is also certain that no grace is communicated to man without the intercession of the Most Holy Virgin Mother of God. This is how Divine Providence was pleased to arrange the supernatural order. It is therefore very important for the faithful to honor Mary Most Holy with tender, filial and strong devotion, using the means that best contribute to maintaining in their souls the sentiments of true love and deep veneration for the Holy Mother of God. Singular among these means, in the very authoritative opinion of the Roman Pontiffs, stands the frequent recitation of the …Zaidi
When I was a child, I was praying the Rosary in the back seat of my family's car, when the brakes gave out and my father went through a red light in a busy intersection in Los Angeles. There was no accident, as Our Lady protected us.
A WhatsApp post by an Italian bishop’s secretary showing Pride flags as a swastika sparked media coverage, prompting explanations from the secretary and two responses from his bishop. The Italian city of Aosta held its third homosexual march on 26 September. That same day, Bishop Franco Lovignana’s secretary, Gilbert Turcotti, posted on his personal WhatsApp status a graphic showing four trans flags arranged to form a swastika. He accompanied it with the words “Questione di prospettiva…” (“A matter of perspective…”). Turcotti subsequently deleted the post. When GazzettaMatin.com contacted him about the image, Turcotti replied: “It seemed like a nice colourful design to me.” According to Bobine.tv, Turcotti said that he had deleted it because the day was over and repeated that he thought it was a colourful design. When the swastika was pointed out, he replied: “Well, look, sometimes, coincidence. I have nothing to say.” According to La Verità, the following evening Turcotti said that he …Zaidi

Forty years after the scandalous Assisi meeting of 1986, Pope Leo XIV will take part in its anniversary gathering. On October 27, Leo XIV will travel to Assisi for the 40th anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Peace convened by Pope John Paul II in 1986. Back then, a Buddha statue was placed on the tabernacle. The 2026 gathering, titled “Disarmed and Disarming Peace,” will bring together 384 representatives of religions, cultures and institutions from 53 countries. Leo XIV will preside over the Christian prayer for peace in the Lower Basilica together with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, while representatives of other religions will pray separately in different locations to their idols. The religious leaders will then gather in the Piazza Inferiore outside the Basilica of Saint Francis for the concluding ceremony and message of peace.
Leo XIV will attend the upcoming meeting in Assisi on October 27. This is the 40th anniversary of the 1986 Assisi scandal.
A 17-year-old Dutch girl was killed by euthanasia after doctors concluded that she was experiencing “unbearable and hopeless psychological suffering”. Milou Verhoof died on 2 October 2023 after suffering from mental-health problems for years and undergoing repeated treatments. Her case was later examined by the Netherlands’ Regional Euthanasia Review Committees, which found that the doctor had complied with the country’s legal requirements for euthanasia. Because Milou was 17, her parents had to be involved in the decision-making process, although Dutch law did not require their consent. Her parents ultimately supported her "decision". The case later drew objections from fourteen doctors, mostly psychiatrists, who asked prosecutors to examine aspects of her euthanasia, including questions about her capacity to decide and possible influence from those around her. The case returned to the Dutch courts in 2026 after Milou’s parents sought the identities of those critical doctors. In September …Zaidi

Pervert Jesuit finally laicised after decades of abuse. The Society of Jesus has expelled Spanish priest Francesc Peris, 84, from both the clerical state and the Jesuit order. A canonical penal process found him guilty of sexually abusing minors over several decades. However, Peris is cared for in a Jesuit residence. The punishment was announced on October 5. It comes more than two years after Peris himself admitted abusing minors. On May 7, 2024, the Jesuits publicly disclosed that Peris had “recently” acknowledged sexually abusing minors as far back as 1972. Yet when questioned by secular authorities in a Barcelona criminal investigation in October 2024, he denied the particular allegation being investigated. Peris was never convicted by a Spanish criminal court. Proceedings against him were ultimately closed because the alleged offences were considered time-barred. Spanish media have identified more than 20 victims, both boys and girls, with allegations spanning more than three decades. …Zaidi
06.10.2026 Bishops Fellay and Galaratta were excommunicated twice with Vatican Council II irrational. They keep silent on VC 2 and EENS, rational, Feeneyite and traditional. The SSPX bishops did not affirm Vatican Council II Feeneyite, extra ecclesiam nulla salus, Feeneyite, the baptism of desire, Feeneyite and the Nicene and Athanasius Creed, Feeneyite. Magisterial Documents, Feeneyite are in harmony with Tradition, Feeneyite. Pope Paul VI and Pope Leo XIV used Vatican Council II Cushingite, to excommunicate Bishop Bernard Fellay and Bishop Alfonso de Gallarrata of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX).The SSPX bishops did not announce that Vatican Council II rational and Feeneyite and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, also rational and Feeneyite, supports the traditionalists and not the popes.

06.10.2026 JOINT STATEMENT COULD AFFIRM FEENEYITE MAGISTERIAL DOCUMENTS AND CALL FOR LIFTING OF CUSHINGITE EXCOMMUNICATIONS The Society of St. Pius X and the St.Benedict Center in a joint statement could announce that they affirm all Magisterial Documents rationally and so Feeneyite. They call for the lifting of all Cushingite excommunications. The SSPX, SBC, F.I, Fr. Claude Barthe’s Summorum Pontificum and the Ecclesia Dei communities can affirm all Magisterial Documents with Feeneyism and call for the lifting of all Cushingite excommunication. A joint statement could support a Feeneyite Magisterium and the end of past sanctions and excommunications based upon Vatican Council II etc, Cushingite, which is irrational. We have a theological breakthrough in the Catholic Church. Church Documents and Vatican Council II interpreted rationally support the traditionalists. They are aligned with the ecclesiology of the Roman Missal at the Latin Mass. The popes from Pius XII to Leo XIV were in …Zaidi
Irish bishop backs cancellation of country singer’s concert in Catholic church. Irish Bishop Kevin Doran of Achonry and Elphin has backed the cancellation of a Christmas concert by country singer Nathan Carter inside St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Boyle. He explained that churches are sacred spaces, not concert venues or “disco settings”: “The important thing is to preserve the nature of the church and the sanctuary as a sacred space,” he said. The December 13 concert had been approved by a previous parish priest. Tickets were already on sale. Then, the new parish priest cancelled the event after taking charge of the parish this autumn. The Diocese has rules governing concerts in churches. Music need not be strictly liturgical, but it should be spiritual in character and compatible with the sacred nature of the building. Carter whined he was “extremely disappointed” by the cancellation. #newsZipxsameec
A Hungarian priest has apologised after criticising Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s Tisza party and its supporters. Rev. Zoltán Osztie made the remarks during a Eucharist in Feldebrő on 26 September. He described Tisza as an “unbelieving, immoral and traitorous” political force. He added that Christians who vote for the party “understand nothing” of the Gospel. The Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest criticised the priest’s comments. It claimed insulting or labelling people because of their political views is not in line with Christian teaching. Church authorities formally warned Rev. Osztie and asked him to remove the video of the sermon from parish websites and social media. He was also told to avoid similar statements in the future. On 6 October, Rev. Osztie apologised to those who felt personally offended by his words. However, he did not withdraw his criticism of Tisza. He said he had intended to criticise a political worldview rather than individual people and maintained that, in his …Zaidi
