A German law professor once gave his entire class the same written exam. The case was simple: Two neighbors were in a legal dispute. One had apple trees, and the branches hung over the fence, dropping apples onto the other neighbor’s tulip beds. The falling apples broke the delicate flower stems. Half the class sided with the tulip lover. The other half defended the orchard owner. They all quoted statutes, paragraphs, and showed off their impressive knowledge of German property law. But in the end, the professor pointed out one simple fact: Apples fall in the fall. Tulips bloom in the spring. The situation they had been analyzing so thoroughly could never actually happen. All protests were met with the professor’s calm response: “Before you start quoting the law, try using common sense.”
There is alignment, or at least tacit sympathy, between the Transalpine Redemptorists in Scotland and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, an anonymous priest of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X (FSSPX) told TheCatholicHerald.com on 2 November. The priest doubts that they will try to work with the FSSPX, saying: "I think they have gone full sedevacantist. They used to be prior to their reconciliation in 2007." In a statement on 16 October, Monsignor Viganò praised the community for distancing themselves from the Church the previous day. He added that he offered the community "full support", whatever that may mean. On 24 October, the Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen stated that the Redemptorists' declaration was "incompatible with the Catholic sense of the Church's unity". He added that the Holy See was examining the matter. #newsVazwvbzsqk
There may be a Holy See, but those who took it by treachery are anything but holy. We witness that every day, so please stop pretending! Yes, the See is not vacant, it is occupied by the representatives of Antichristic One world religion
DAY 2 Meditation State of Purgatory MONTH OF NOVEMBER IN SUFFRAGE OF THE BLESSED SOULS OF PURGATORY Francisco Vitali For the signal... INITIAL SENTENCE O Mary, Mother of mercy: remember the children you have in purgatory and, presenting our suffrages and your merits to your Son, intercede so that he may forgive them their debts and take them out of those darkness into the admirable light of his glory, where they enjoy your sweetest sight and that of your blessed Son. O glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph, intercede together with your Wife before your Son for the souls of purgatory. Amen. It is read about every day. DAY 2 Meditation State of Purgatory Although it is true that the Lord can condemn the souls of the deceased to purge the pain of their faults wherever they will please, it is also true that, in the center of the earth, there is a special place properly called Purgatory, where human spirits who are not yet sufficiently perfected to enter heaven are usually detained with serious …More
NOVEMBER 2 ALL SOULS DAY breski1 The Commemoration of all of the Faithful Departed It is very significant and appropriate that after the Solemnity of All Saints, the Liturgy has us celebrate the Commemoration of all of the Faithful Departed. The "communion of saints", which we profess in the Creed, is a reality that is constructed here below, but is fully made manifest when we will see God "as he is" (I Jn 3: 2). It is the reality of a family bound together by deep bonds of spiritual solidarity that unites the faithful departed to those who are pilgrims in the world. It is a mysterious but real bond, nourished by prayer and participation in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. In the Mystical Body of Christ the souls of the faithful meet, overcoming the obstacle of death; they pray for one another, carrying out in charity an intimate exchange of gifts. In this dimension of faith one understands the practice of offering prayers of suffrage for the dead, especially in the Sacrament of the …More
On Thursday evening, Cardinal Gerhard Müller gave a wide-ranging interview to EWTN.com. Main points: - I heard from some bishops that Catholics who do not want the newer form of the liturgy can either remain at home or go to the Lefebvrians [FSSPX]. - A plurality in the liturgy does not split the Church, the 'blessing' of homosexual couples does. It relativises the sacrament of marriage, which is a revealed truth. - The Church Fathers acknowledged that there was some truth in philosophy, but never in pagan Greek or Roman religions. They never accepted the old religions. - Different religions have different understandings of peace, liberty, and the dignity of the person. We cannot mix them. We are not fratelli tutti (all brothers). - It goes against the Catholic faith that women could receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders in a certain time. Only men can become bishops, priests or deacons. - Transgender is absolutely impossible. It contradicts Revelation. God created man and woman, male …More
Sometimes saddens me the situation, 95% of catholics go to the novus ordo, transubstanciation still occurs there (and it will continue until Daniel's prophecy happens), NOW is it true that the abuse is way too epic there: Yes; this why I no longer go or try to stay away, as a matter of fact the only one i do recommend is from the Geralds of the Gospel (the knights of our Lady). Things are getting way too turbulent in a few nations and I don’t think people are hearing this, Rome has lost the faith and soon we will aproach to many prophecies that still haven't happened. The SSPX should prepare too, way too many souls will be rushing to the desert.
Acts 20: 29-30 "For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them".
NOVEMBER 1 ALL SAINTS DAY breski1 SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS Today the Church, as the liturgy states, has "the joy of celebrating in one feast the merits and the glory of all the Saints" : not only of those whom she has canonized in the course of the centuries, but also of the numberless men and women whose holiness, hidden in this world, is only known to God and shines in his eternal kingdom. Thinking of these illustrious witnesses of the Gospel, we give thanks to God, "source of all holiness" for having given them to the Church and to the world. With their example, they prove that, as the Council teaches, "All the faithful are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity" (Lumen gentium, n. 40), tending to the "high standard" of ordinary Christian life (cf. Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio ineunte, n.31). Today's feast invites us to lift our eyes to heaven, the goal of our earthly pilgrimage. There the festive community of the saints awaits us. There we will …More

XXI Sunday after Pentecost Commentary on the Gospel Dom Próspero Gueranger SENSE OF THE PARABLE. - In reality, all of us are that negligent and insolvent debtor servant, whom his master has the right to sell with everything he possesses and deliver to the executioners. The debt we have contracted with His Majesty for our faults is of such a nature, that it requires in all justice endless torments and supposes an eternal hell, where, continuously paying man, he never satisfies the debt. Praise, then, and infinite recognition to the divine creditor! Pityed by the pleas of the wretch who asks him for a little more time to pay, the master goes beyond his request and at the moment forgives him all the debt, but justly putting a condition, as shown by what follows. The condition was that he work with his companions in the same way that his master had done with him. Treated so generously by his King and Lord, and forgiven for free an infinite debt, could he, coming from an equal, reject the …More
NOVEMBER 1 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5,1-12a. When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. "

A member of the Congregation of Saint Michael the Archangel, he was ordained as a priest in May 1991.

Monsignor Dąbrowski was involved because he chaired the Diocesan Pastoral Response Committee.…More
Mathew 3:7 "BREED OF VIPERS" 1 Corinthians 10:20-22 : "The things which the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons. You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons."
On a visit to Canada John Paul II was blessed by a couple of Canadian Indians. Was God speaking through them to him? And JP II, read the Epistle to the Hebrews, where it is stated that the greater blesses the lesser.
"Whence God, wishing to repair what was wanting, made a flood, and bade righteous Noah go up into the ark. He, as the flood abated, sent forth first a raven, which did not return ; then he sent forth a dove which, we read, returned with an olive branch. Thou seest the water, thou seest the wood, thou beholdest the dove, and dost thou doubt the mystery ?"
[St. Ambrose – IV Century AD; Augusta Treverorum, Gallia Belgica, Roman Empire/Mediolanum, Italia, Western Roman Empire – Resting Place – Crypt of basilica Sant’Ambrogio – One of the Great Four Latin Church Fathers – Doctor of the Church – made Bishop by popular acclamation] “Chapter III - The operation of the Divine power in baptism is illustrated by Old Testament types. 8. What sawest thou? Water, to be sure, but not water only ; levites ministering there, the high priest questioning and consecrating. First of all, the Apostle has taught thee that we must not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen : for the things which are seen are temporal ; but the things which are not seen are eternal. For elsewhere too thou readest that the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are comprehended by the things which are made ; his eternal power and divinity also are understood from his works. Whence also the Lord himself *says, If ye believe not …More
