[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain/ Agreda, Spain; ‘Lady in Blue’; Abess; Writer; Mystic] “Chapter VII ~ HOW THE: MOST HIGH GAVE A BEGINNING TO HIS WORKS AND CREATED ALL MATERIAL THINGS FOR THE USE OF MAN, WHILE ANGELS AND MEN WERE CREATED TO BE HIS PEOPLE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE INCARNATE WORD. 80. The Cause of all causes is God, who created all things that have being. His powerful arm gave existence to all his wonderful works ad extra when and how He chose. The beginning and succession of the work of Creation is described by Moses in the opening chapter of Genesis. Since the Lord has given me an understanding thereof, I will mention what I think useful for elucidating the mysterious origin of the Incarnation of the Word and of our Redemption. 81. The words of the first chapter of Genesis are as follows : 1. ‘In the beginning God created heaven and earth. 2. ‘And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of …More
"83. The angels were created in the empyrean heavens and in the state of grace by which they might be first to merit the reward of glory. For although they were in the midst of glory, the Divinity itself was not to be made manifest to them face to face and unveiled, until they should have merited such a favor by obeying the divine will. The holy angels, as well as the bad ones, remained only a very short time in the state of probation; for their creation and probation with its result were three distinct instants or moments, separated by short intermissions. In the first instant they were all created and endowed with graces and gifts, coming into existence as most beautiful and perfect creatures. Then followed a short pause, during which the will of the Creator was propounded and intimated, and the law and command was given them, to acknowledge Him as their Maker and supreme Lord, and to fulfill the end for which they had been created. During this pause, instant or interval, Saint Michael …More

Footage released by the Israeli police shows a man attacking a French nun in broad daylight on Mount Zion in Jerusalem on Tuesday. The nun, who is a researcher at the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem, was thrown to the ground and sustained head injuries. A 36-year-old suspect was arrested on the same day.
Von der israelischen Polizei veröffentlichte Aufnahmen zeigen einen Mann, der am Dienstag am Zionsberg in Jerusalem am helllichten Tag eine französische Nonne angriff. Der 36‑jährige Verdächtige wurde am Tag des Angriffs festgenommen.“
Second certainty: Since a Pope was elected on 26 October 1958, as attested by the white smoke, and since this Pope did not appear and the conclave continued the following day, it is certain that the successor to Pius XII, having accepted and taken a name, subsequently renounced it. How could this have happened, given that, on the one hand, everything is secret in a conclave and, on the other hand, the conclave had finished its task because of the acceptance?

Carmelite community of Campiégne martyrs to close: The historic Carmelite community of Compiègne, which is now based in Jonquières, France, is closing. The six remaining nuns have announced that they will be leaving due to the ageing nature of the community and a lack of new vocations. Founded in 1641, the community is best known for the sixteen Carmelite martyrs of Compiègne who were executed during the French Revolution in 1794 and canonised by Pope Francis in 2024. The monastery in Jonquières has been home to the community since 1992. The nuns are leaving over the coming months, not all at once.
The six remaining cloistered Carmelite nuns in Jonquières, France, are closing their historic community, ending a 400-year legacy of prayer ... and martyrdom.
And the impostor Robert Prevost, mocking the male priesthood instituted by Christ, began his speech by addressing the heretic Sarah Mullally disguised as a bishop and her accomplices with: "Your Grace, Peace be with all of you."
THE ISLANDER @IslanderWORLD Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson — Colin Powell’s own chief of staff said the quiet part... “We lied about Vietnam, we lied about Iraq, we lied about Afghanistan, we lied about Somalia, we lied about Libya.” Then the hammer: “We put more small arms and medium arms into the hands of terrorist groups the world over by not securing Gaddafi’s weapons caches in Libya than any arms merchant has ever put into the world.” He didn’t stop there. Same story in Iraq — Saddam’s arsenals left wide open because “we didn’t have enough troops,” handed straight to Al Qaeda and ISIS. A top insider from the heart of the machine confessed: America doesn’t fight terrorism. It manufactures it, then lies about it for decades. The blowback isn’t accidental but policy. Natural consequences don’t forget who armed the monsters.
On April 28, the German bishops published a new ‘Ratio Nationalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis’, a 203-page document reforming priestly formation in Germany. It replaces the previous 111-page guidelines from 2003. Approved by the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Clergy on March 11, the new norms are binding for Germany’s 27 dioceses. Long-Term Decline The reform comes amid a long-term collapse in priestly vocations. Germany ordained 557 priests in 1962 and 303 in 1970. By 2015, that number had fallen to 58, and by 2025 to just 25, the lowest figure on record. At the same time, the number of lay pastoral workers increased from roughly 5,200 in 1990 to 7,516 in 2021, and include today transvestites. Psychological Screening The new Ratio includes expanded sections on psychology, abuse prevention, sexuality, synodality, and pastoral practice. It mandates psychological screening for candidates and places new emphasis on emotional maturity, boundaries, and abuse prevention. The document explicitly …More
The Germans haven't known the fundamentals of the Apostolic Faith for over a century, so their priests couldn't become fundamentalist in German seminaries already.
Marxist revisionism has successfully managed to pervert the root word 'fundamental' meaning 1) serving as a basis supporting existence or determining essential structure or function and 2) serving as an original or generating source, and 3) of or relating to essential structure, function, or facts into something sinister toxifying it with an 'ism'. It would seem that something as fundamental as the Gospel and orthodox Church teaching should be cherished, protected and shared by those committed to evangelizing in the name of our Lord. How sad to trivialize the Rock upon which the Church is built.

By their fruits you will recognize them. Robert Prevost and his henchmen mock the sacrament of the priesthood and the Papacy instituted by Christ. Archbishop Viganò slams Pope Leo for meeting … Prevost exercises his spurious Masonic pontificate in a synodal manner. In the Anti-Church led by Prevost, all false religions are considered equal to the Catholic Church. @JhWesten: Famed Vatican journalist Edward Pentin on Leo XIV welcoming female 'archbishop' Sarah: "the Vatican is serving to affirm her in her ecclesial ‘TRANS’ identity and error. (emphasis mine) @JhWesten What is sacrilege! Right in front of the bones of Saint Peter the first of the apostles the fake ‘Archbishop’ gives a blessing while a Catholic Bishop bows In an interview, the Anglican hereticSarah Mullally declaredthat she felt encouraged by Leo XIV; she felt like a "pastor"—just like him. @JhWesten ‘Archbishop’ Sarah Mullally was asked if she discussed women priests with Pope Leo XIV. She dodges: ‘I’m not a …More
Cardinal George Pell: Synodality has “developed into a toxic nightmare”, is “poutpourri”, “neo-Marxist jargon” and an “outpouring of New Age good will … hostile in significant ways to the apostolic tradition”
Prevost exercises his spurious Masonic pontificate in a synodal manner. In the Anti-Church led by Prevost, all false religions are considered equal. The apostate Robert Prevost: "Everything we hear today regarding synodality, we were already doing in Chulucanas back in the 1980s." That is why this apostate and sacrilegious Marxist priest accompanied shamans to worship Pachamama. The Church has condemned religious indifferentism; it is for this reason that it condemned Freemasonry. This religious indifferentism—which violates the First Commandment—is considered the greatest blasphemy against the Most Holy Trinity, drawing down the most severe punishments upon humanity. These parodies of invalid blessings are, in reality, curses.

W. Todd Ed @we_todd_ed1 David Sacks argues that nonprofits and NGOs often prioritize fundraising over mission fulfillment, creating or exaggerating problems to justify continued donations. He criticizes organizations that shifted focus from civil rights to anti-racism after progress was made, suggesting the goalposts were moved to sustain relevance and funding. Chamath Palihapitiya questions why groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center focus on race issues instead of poverty. The thread, shared by W. Todd Ed and endorsed by Elon Musk, criticizes left-leaning narratives on these topics.
The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena St. Catherine, one of the few remarkable women declared a Doctor of the Church, did not write this text with a pen and ink, but dictated it while in a state of ecstasy, recording a continuous, intimate dialogue with God the Father. The Dialogue is a practical, soul-stirring conversation for anyone seeking clarity, certainty, and an unshakeable connection to the Divine. Discovering Your God-Given Mission
