Today in his meeting with civil authorities and the diplomatic corps in Spain, Leo XIV portrayed the oppressive Islamic occupation of Spain (711-1492) as place of confrontation, but also of dialogue and encounter between religions: “The presence of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, for example, constituted a long-standing political, cultural, and religious reality. During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews. At the School of Translators enhanced by Alfonso X (the Wise), experts from all three religions collaborated on translating the texts of the rich Arabic, Greek and Hebrew heritage, contributing to the dissemination of texts such as those of the philosophers Averroes (1126-1198) and Maimonides (1138-1204), among others. The cities of Córdoba and Toledo, in particular, became centers of dialogue between languages, religions and knowledge. …ఇంకా
"During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews." If Catholics weren't sure about the meaning of truth, they were approaching apostasy.
First possibility: We can speculate, with little risk of error, about what happened to compel Pius XII's successor to renounce his office after accepting it. Indeed, after accepting, the new Pope went to the room of tears to dress as Pope, and it was probably there that the blackmail took place, while white smoke was rising from the Sistine Chapel. This was certainly done with cunning and gentleness, but we do not know the purpose of this blackmail. In any case, he emerged from the room of tears, dressed not as a Pope but as a cardinal, and had to announce to the other cardinals his decision to renounce his office, which must also have been done gently and with apparent legality, since the conclave continued. (Source: first comment)
Slowly but surely, we are learning about this tragedy. Because the cardinals are sworn to secrecy, maybe we will not know exactly why and how the events transpired, until we depart from this life.
Leo XIV Jokes About Homosexual Activist: Pope Leo XIV, en route to Spain Saturday, joked aboard the papal plane that he's competing with the homosexual activist "Bad Bunny" - who's performing in Madrid the same weekend. "Many will choose Bad Bunny," he told reporters. "But a few will come see the pope - and that says something."
Pope Leo XIV on the papal plane to Spain: “Do [young people] want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the pope? Many will go see Bad Bunny, but I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that says something, you know.”
Ha, ha, ha, ha...the sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance is so funny says the Devil! Hahahah, it's so funny to see so many burning in Hell for this, says the Devil!

Bishop Andrzej Jeż of Tarnów, the Polish Bishops' Conference delegate for municipal affairs, has backed local officials who oppose the registration of homosex marriages in Polish civil registry records. “There are higher values that must not be sacrificed for the sake of peace,” Bishop Jeż wrote in a message issued on the occasion of Local Government Day last week. His statement followed rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union and Poland's Supreme Administrative Court requiring Poland to recognize a homosex marriage lawfully contracted in Germany. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński subsequently instructed registry offices throughout the country to implement the court's decision. Bishop Jeż argued that Poland's Constitution holds “absolute precedence over European and international law” and defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. He added that no external institutions or EU courts have the right to impose a different definition of the family on …ఇంకా

Sermons of St. John Chrysostom, Dearly beloved brethren, it behoveth us to learn the miracle of the Mysteries what the Gift is, and why It was given, and what is the use thereof. “We, being many, are one body,” saith [the Apostle Paul, 1 Cor. x. 17, and again] “We are members of His Body, of His Flesh, and of His Bones.” Eph. v. 30. Only the initiated will now understand what I say. That this union may take place, not by love only, but verily and indeed, we ought to mingle our own with His Flesh. And this is done by eating that Food Which He hath given unto us, being fain to manifest that exceeding great love which He beareth to us-ward. To this end He hath mingled Himself with us, and infused His Body into our bodies, that we may be one together, like as the limbs of a man and his head are all of one body. Such union do they long for that love much

Today, Leo XIV touched on the concept of a just war. During the flight from Rome to Madrid, he told Franca Giansoldati that “there is no just war” in Iran. Leo XIV pointed to his encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas”, which says that just war theory is “now outdated. Today, he repeated: "I think this has already been made very clear: the notion of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we have today or humanity's capacity for destruction." Leo XIV made “overcoming the theory of the ‘just war'” one of the themes of the June 26-27 summit of cardinals he convened at the Vatican. #newsUmthcgthhs
The Destruction of Catholic Marriage How Von Hildebrand's Subjective Personalism Erased the Objective Order of Catholic Marriage — and Produced the Crisis We Now Inhabit There is a word for what happened to Catholic marriage theology in the twentieth century. The word is flattening. Not development. Not enrichment. Not a recovery of neglected truths. Flattening — the systematic removal of every hierarchy from a reality that was structured by hierarchy from top to bottom: the hierarchy of ends in marriage, the hierarchy of the sexes in nature, the governing authority of the husband in the household, and the moral ordering of the conjugal act itself. One by one, all the heights were leveled. What remained was a single plane of mutual feeling, going nowhere in particular, accountable to nothing above itself. The man most responsible for this was Dietrich von Hildebrand — a German-American Catholic philosopher who fled the Nazis, and whose ideas now govern the mainstream of Catholic marriage …ఇంకా
It seems very well written peace Henry. Well done. I must say about this paragraph: " The couple is pursuing the act's primary meaning. They are simply declining its secondary result. This is the logic — never stated plainly, but structurally present — that underlies the catastrophic collapse of Catholic fertility. " It is actually said, very plainly, by the v2 ultra-liberal-modernists, whereby one of them simply were the infiltrants (remember Bella Dodd and her list of 1100 masonic-communist infiltrants). It is written in de new very Code of Canon Law 1983. A result of this is the new Code of Canon Law which came in 1983., which has mixed purposes of marriage, so that puts an abstract concept of "common good of the spouses" in front of the procreation and raising children! But there is more: For Christian understanding of marriages, the Old Testament Book of Tobit is extremely important. Especially those warnings given by God through Archangel Rafael to Tobit 6, 16-17, and Tobit 6, 22. …ఇంకా
Cardinal Robert Sarah spoke with LaNef.net (May 5) about Pope Francis, the return of paganism within the Church, Vatican II, and the decline of the West. Main points. On Francis' Pontificate - "Loving the pope does not mean suspending all critical intelligence." - "It would be unjust to attribute to one man alone a crisis that largely preceded him." - "We must recognize that an era can leave wounds of confusion." Paganism within the Church - "Paganism is not merely the worship of visible idols; it is also the loss of the spirit of adoration." - "When God is no longer first—even within the Church—everything else is distorted." - "When faith is reduced to sociological language, liturgy to entertainment, morality to endless negotiation, and the Church to an institution that must adapt itself to the desires of the age, then something of paganism returns." - "The world does not expect the Church to repeat its own words; it expects the Church to open heaven to it." - "Susceptibility to the …ఇంకా

Or attacking an innocent country all because they wanted their oil and uranium. Hey, there's always Palestine, Lebanon and other countries they are bombing or helping to bomb. Or giving weapons and ammo to Israel to bomb and shoot and kill innocent people. Destroying Catholic Church's. killing Catholics and the list goes on and on and on.

A retired Jewish human rights lawyer has been identified as the mastermind behind the return to Australia of successive groups of ISIS brides and their children. One group of four wives and nine children of Islamic State terrorists arrived in the country earlier this month, sparking nationwide outrage, while a second group is now in Damascus and set to fly out within days. Prominent Sydney doctor Jamal Rifi has been the public face of months-long efforts to bring the 34 women and children back from Syria’s Al-Roj camp, but The Australian revealed that behind the scenes lawyer Robert Van Aalst has been the central figure in complex operation to facilitate the final group’s return. Sources told the publication Mr Van Aast controlled communications, set up confidential meetings, and worked with Syria-based contacts and Australians travelling to the Middle East to assist the ISIS-linked group. “Everyone thinks Jamal Rifi was running this. He wasn’t. It was Robert. He was the one pulling …
– Folha de S. Paulo, June 12, 1969 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Recent news presents several facts worth reflecting on. Though diverse in origin, they all point to the same principle of political wisdom: those seeking victory for a cause should generally favor struggle over concessions. ____________________* * * __________________________ Readers are undoubtedly aware that the Italian Christian Democratic Party (CDP) emerged after World War II as the primary instrument for defending Italy against the rise of anticlericalism and Marxism. Most importantly, the Catholic electorate expected it to protect the country from the slippery slope toward communism, defend the Lateran Pacts, essential for normal relations with the Holy See, and prevent the legalization of divorce. The CDP had all the essential tools to achieve such high goals: almost all Catholic opinion leaders’ support, financial resources, and a powerful propaganda machine. However, from the start, the CDP leadership allowed …ఇంకా
