"Hence it is that so few attain to perfection; for after having with much toil overcome the greater vices, they will not persevere in doing violence to themselves by struggling against the promptings of self-will, and an infinity of lesser desires. They grow weary of so unremitting a struggle; they suffer these insignificant enemies to prevail against them, and so to acquire an absolute mastery over their hearts."
[Father Dom Lorenzo Scupoli – XVI-XVII Century AD; Otranto, Kingdom of Naples/Naples, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 79-80); Priest; Spiritual Writer] Chapter XI ~ Of some considerations which may incline the Will to seek to please God in all things Furthermore, to incline the will more readily to seek God's honor and glory in all things, always remember that, in many and various ways, He has first loved and honored you. In creation, by creating you out of nothing after His likeness, and all other creatures for your service. In Redemption, by sending, not an angel, but His only-begotten Son, to redeem you, not with the corruptible price of silver and gold, but with His Precious Blood, and by His most painful and ignominious death. Remember, that every hour, nay, every moment, He protects you from your enemies, fights for you by His grace, offers you continually, in the Sacrament of the Altar, His well-beloved Son, to be your food and your defense; are not all these tokens of the inestimable …More

From DA: "I am a practicing catholic. And I need to say something that's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, hundreds of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned to the ground, pastors kidnapped and killed. Communities that have practiced their faith for centuries are being wiped out. Pope Leo XIV has said almost nothing. NO named condemnations, NO emergency visits, NO breaking of protocol, just quiet platitudes about dialogue and peace - directed at nobody in particular. BUT the week Trump escalated the Iran war? Leo flew across continents, gave media interviews, posted viral messages and had three Cardinals appear on 60 minutes in what felt like a coordinated response. Bishop Strickland was removed for defending the Church doctrine. Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico was removed for defending religious exemptions that the cathechism itself supports. During Covid, goverments padlocked churches across …More

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 …More
"Therefore, I want to go to the heathens in whose mouths I am now bitter and distasteful, but I will become sweeter than honey in their mouths. Nevertheless, I am still so merciful that I will happily receive each and everyone who begs for my forgiveness and says: ‘Lord, I know that I have sinned severely and I gladly want to better myself through your grace. Have mercy on me for the sake of your bitter suffering.’"
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 57 ~ The words of our Lord to the bride about how he is loathsome and despicable food for the souls of Christians, and how the world, instead, is loved and found to be delightful by them, and about the terrifying judgment that is executed over such people. The Son of God spoke to his bride: “Christians are now acting towards me as the Jews acted towards me. The Jews drove me out of the temple and had a complete will to kill me, but since my hour had not yet come, I escaped from their hands. Christians act towards me in the same way now. They drive me out of their temple (that is, out of their soul, which should be my temple) and they would gladly want to kill me if they could. I am like rotten and stinking flesh in their mouths. I seem, to them, to be like a man who utters lies, and they do not care about me at …More
Leo's brief comments to the press this evening -- “I have already spoken from the first moment ‘peace be with you.’ The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wants to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully. The Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that”
By Alison Bevege https://lettersfromaustralia.substack.com/p/australia-sues-covid-vax-class-action Thousands of covid vaccine-injured Australians have been given new strength today after the Federal Court of Australia discussed dates for their class action to proceed. It has been a long road for the bereaved. They were pushed aside by the government at every turn, and they struggled with repeated submissions in their attempts to get justice through the courts since April 2023. In April last year, Justice Anna Katzmann gave their crowd-funded class action one last chance to overhaul its pleadings with a new legal team. Dominic Villa SC Queensland GP Dr Melissa McCann re-invigorated the case with Dominic Villa SC who represented the injured at their case management hearing in Federal Court April 24 before Justice Nicholas Owens.

le 5 mai Saint Hilaire d'Arles. Le 5 mai, mémoire de notre père, saint Hilaire, évêque métropolitain d'Arles D'après la "Vitae Honorati et Hilarii" et les traditions. Saint Hilaire est né au commencement du 5ème siècle. Si on ne connaît plus son lieu de naissance exact - comme pour la plupart des gens de son époque d'ailleurs, célèbres ou non - il semble cependant que ce fut dans le même pays que saint Honorat son prédécesseur, à savoir dans l'ancienne Gaule Belgique, aux confins de la Lorraine et de la Bourgogne. Sa famille était illustre par la condition sociale, mais il en fut peut-être le plus grand ornement par la condition spirituelle. Il reçut une éducation conforme à son milieu, étudiant les arts libéraux les belles lettres. Il acquit une parfaite connaissance des pensées et écrits des philosophes antiques. Doué de vivacité d'esprit, il en développa une belle éloquence. A l'issue de ses études, saint Hilaire fut chargé d'un poste important dans l'administration …More
The agency KNA notes that Leo XIV's thinking was shaped by the ideas and terminology of Latin American liberation theology, referring to an address he delivered on 2 March 2002 in Iquitos, Peru. This text has been published in a book released today, which contains essays, sermons and speeches from the years 2001 to 2013. Key quotes from Fr Robert Prevost: - The reality of unjust poverty and marginalisation is one of the most pressing problems in today's world, not only in the "Third World". - No one can be a Christian today and remain detached from the "cry of the poor" and the struggle for justice. The destitution of millions of people is a true 'sacrament' of sin in the world. - Development is an integral part of evangelisation. Pastoral activity goes beyond what is merely "religious", in accordance with the Church's social teaching and the urgency of the preferential option for the poor.' This must be applied not only to indigenous peoples, who are often the poorest of the poor, but …More
Prevost's apostasy dates back to Chicago and to Pennsylvania—to the Marxist Villanova University. Villanova prof. gives lecture to students on ‘moving beyond the gender binary’ - LifeSite University celebrates LGBTQ awareness week – The Villanovan The apostate Augustinian Marxist Arturo Purcaro of Chulucanas was the coordinator of the Conocoto Marxist Gathering. The apostate Marxist Arturo Purcaro teaches the Marxist ideology of Gustavo Gutiérrez at Villanova University. THL: 4100-100 Justice & Sustainability and THL: 5003-001 Liberation Theology. Arthur Purcaro: "Gutiérrez was a personal friend of mine; I invited him to Chulucanas to accompany us on our journey and to keep alive the "preferential option for the poor"—which, at Puebla, was recognized as a distinct pastoral choice. His thought—beginning with his book *A Theology of Liberation*—came under scrutiny, even in the United States; yet, when I was teaching in Chicago, I offered courses on this theological perspective, and …More
