St. Sylvester Gozzolini revived asceticism and monasticism against attacks from Satan - LifeSite

(
LifeSiteNews) — God often brings the world to those who flee from it, as Sylvester Gozzolini among others experienced. In the thirteenth century, the world, all in admiration at the sanctity and the eloquence of the new orders, seemed to have forgotten the monks and the desert. God, who never forgets, led his elect silently into solitude, and the wilderness began again to rejoice and flourish like the lily; strength was restored to the weak hands and feeble knees (Isaiah 35:1-3) of the sons of the cloister. The austerities of olden days and the fervor of prolonged prayer were revived at Monte Fano, and extended into sixty other monasteries; the new religious family of the Sylvestrians was approved by Innocent IV in 1247. Though originated seven centuries after St. Benedict, and distinguished from the elder families by its blue habit, it claims the Patriarch of Cassino for its legislator and father.

2 National Guardsmen critically wounded in 'targeted shooting' blocks from White House

Washington, D.C. was thrust into chaos the day before Thanksgiving when two National Guard members were shot just blocks from the White House. Police said a suspect was in custody. President Donald Trump was in Florida at the time of the shooting.

President
Donald Trump condemned the "heinous assault" on two National Guard members in D.C. as an "act of evil" and "a crime against our entire nation."
Trump, speaking in a video message shared on social media from Florida, confirmed the suspect was paroled into the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome on September 8, 2021, under the Biden administration.
"His status was extended under legislation signed by President Biden, a disastrous president, the worst in the history of our country," Trump said. "This attack underscores the single greatest national security threat facing our nation. The last administration let in 20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners from all over the world, from places that you don't want to even …

Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments.
Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.

Bilancio Santa Sede 2024: crescono le buste paga, non le entrate

Città del Vaticano – La Segreteria per l’Economia ha pubblicato oggi, mercoledì 26 novembre, il Bilancio Consolidato 2024 della Santa Sede. Per comprenderne appieno la portata è necessario confrontarlo con i rendiconti del 2022 e del 2023, analizzati nel loro perimetro più significativo: quello senza gli enti ospedalieri, che costituiscono un comparto economico autonomo e non rappresentativo della gestione ordinaria della Curia.
Diversamente da quanto riportato da Vatican News e dalle dichiarazioni del Prefetto della Segreteria per l’Economia, Maximino Caballero Ledo, il quadro che emerge dai documenti ufficiali è ben più articolato, e non giustifica toni trionfalistici. I numeri mostrano infatti un miglioramento progressivo del risultato operativo, che passa da un deficit di –52,4 milioni nel 2022, a –46,5 milioni nel 2023, fino ai –33,5 milioni del 2024. Una riduzione importante, certo, ma che non modifica la natura del problema: il deficit resta strutturale e continua a …

Peter Kwasniewski: Church Leadership Dominated By Network of Active Homosexuals

“The reason the Church’s leaders persecute the most faithful Catholics is that, broadly speaking, the leadership of the Catholic Church on earth at this time is dominated by a network of active homosexuals and theological modernists”, philosopher Peter Kwasniewski wrote on his Substack.com-account TraditionSanity.com on November 20.
He added that they in the network rely on one another’s support: “We all know individual good bishops or cardinals but such exceptions are a controlled opposition, with very limited mobility.”
Kwasniewski explains that their “religion” is one of self-actualization and self-regard: “Theirs is the fashionable subjectivism and flexible relativism of the postmodern West, where ‘anything goes’ - except, of course, traditional faith and morals, for this faith and these morals would eliminate them ...”
The more fruitful the Mass in the Roman rite is, the more furious they will be: “It’s precisely because of this fruitfulness, not in spite of it, that its …More

The Cardinals and Bishops should reread The Divine Office of Readings on Trinity Sunday by Saint Athanasius.

JANET ZIMMER

Isn't what's needed is a list of all non-believing popes, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, religious order heads, major theologians, etc., from 1930 (when the plan to seize the Church supposedly started) to the present (preferably in reverse order). Surely there is a group of believing theology professors with trusted masters and PhD students who could produce the list relatively quickly if a rich layman would agree to cover the costs and any legal consequences. If not, how else will this seizure of God's house by evil be reversed? Or should we all just wait for the Second Coming to solve it?

Ukraine Frontline: Volchansk Special Report, Family From The Ashes

Вот перевод на английский язык:
Rescue in the Ruins: How a Russian Drone Found a Surviving Family in Destroyed Volchonsk
War rarely leaves room for human stories that carry even a hint of warmth. But even in absolute devastation, flashes of humanity sometimes break through.
In the city of Volchonsk in the Kharkov region — essentially wiped off the map after long months of brutal fighting — Russian forces, while combing through destroyed neighborhoods in search of remaining Ukrainian fighters, unexpectedly found something else.
A family of five — somehow still alive in the middle of total chaos — noticed a Russian reconnaissance drone and, desperately clinging to a chance, began to “communicate” with it.
The drone operator spotted a man holding up a piece of paper to the camera.
The first message — presumably “Help” — followed by:
“There are five of us.”
The operator responded with notes saying “Yes.”
The family tried to explain they wanted to be evacuated.
The drone …

Vatican Prefect Fernández: Link Between Celibacy and Abuse

At today’s presentation of the sexual psychology document Una caro. Elogio della monogamia, Tucho Fernández linked celibacy with abuse, reports German agency KNA.
A priest cannot expect to fill his feelings of loneliness with another person, he said, noting that this can give rise to abuse: "I have to resolve my feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and psychological problems in other ways."
For decades, many experts have pointed out that there is no evidence that celibate men are more likely to be pedophiles than the general male population. Psychologists and criminologists also emphasize that celibacy itself does not increase the likelihood of pedophilic tendencies [but how about porn?]. Furthermore: Data from Germany indicate that the extent of sexual abuse in Protestant and Catholic institutions is comparable.

People shining the light on abusive clergy point out that it is mostly due to homosexuals. They prey on preteens and adolescents. Some do argue that allowing married clergy would be away to de lavender clergy ranks.

Denis Efimov

Who would even think that Tucho is a Catholic? Who would even consider his documents seriously? Who would even say that the documents Tucho publishes could in any way be accepted or used within the Catholic Church?

The ABC has been attacked in News Corp outlets for its editing of Trump’s Capitol speech. Did it do the same as the BBC?

Sky News Australia and The Australian have accused the ABC of distorting a speech by Donald Trump on the day of the attack on the US Capitol, 6 January 2021.
On Wednesday the ABC’s managing director, Hugh Marks, is due to appear at the National Press Club, where he may face questions over similarities or otherwise between the two programs.
What did the two broadcasters do?
Both Panorama and Four Corners used excerpts from Trump’s speech at the Ellipse before the storming of the Capitol building on 6 January 2021. While the BBC spliced together two sentences almost an hour apart, the ABC edited a single grab, omitting some repetition and a complete sentence between two statements.
The BBC edit
The episode of Panorama in question was broadcast shortly before the 2024 US election. The edit was highlighted in a dossier from a former external adviser to the BBC’s editorial standards committee that was leaked to the UK’s Daily Telegraph.
Trump’s speech was edited by Panorama to put together …

Hitler in church instead of Satan
Scandalous images are hidden in several churches in Germany and France.
Amid evangelical and biblical scenes, among patriarchs, saints, and apostles, none other than Adolf Hitler appears!
But what? Catholic parishes glorifying the leader of a criminal regime? It's a typical social media reaction, from those who stop at the headlines, who are immediately and professionally scandalized, and who post comments without thinking, without delving deeper.
In fact, all it takes is a little research, a visit, or a look at the images to immediately understand the context in which these works were created.
Hitler among the idols
For the cover of this article, for example, we chose what appears on the stained glass window of the small church in Vasperviller, a village of 300 inhabitants in Lorraine (France).
The protagonist is Rachel, a biblical figure known for an episode in Genesis in which she steals her father Jacob's idols when he fled with his family.

Fed-Up Catalans Flock to Anti-Immigration Party – Allah's Willing Executioners

Caption of Aliança Catalana at Fossar de les Moreres Wikimedia Commons , DrGiRu, CC-Zero
Catalonia has a new political disruptor: Aliança Catalana, a right-wing, anti-immigration party that has surged from obscurity to become one of the most consequential forces in the region. A party that only recently entered parliament with two seats is now projected, according to the Catalan government’s Centre for Opinion Studies (CEO), to win 19 to 20 seats—putting it level with one of the region’s traditional pro-independence heavyweights.
For years, Catalan politics has revolved around a familiar trio. The PSC is the centre-left party aligned with Spain’s central government. ERC is a left-leaning separatist party. And Junts is a liberal-nationalist separatist party once led by Carles Puigdemont, the chief political figure of the 2017 independence crisis. It is Junts—formerly the standard-bearer of Catalonia’s independence cause—that is now suffering a dramatic collapse, falling from 35 …

The Awakening of the Child's Soul: The Secret Education of Rudolf Steiner.

Steiner was an apostate Catholic. The Holy Office condemned his "anthroposophy" as Neo-gnostic in 1919. Anthroposophy (a system Steiner himself developed) claims to investigate and describe the spiritual world with the same precision and clarity that natural science brings to the physical world, using methods of such as clairvoyance which, in his view, can be trained. Clairvoyance replaces the need for Divine Revelation. Anthroposophy relies heavily on "reincarnation" and "karma." He held extremely heretical views on the Trinity and Christology. I have no idea why this has been posted - or been permitted to be posted.
