COMMENTARY: Great literature shows us who we are. It is like a mirror that shows us ourselves. It shows us our character, our personality, our personhood. Editor’s Note: This story is part of literary special content. Find related storieshere. “The coming peril,” wrote the great Catholic writer G.K. Chesterton, “is standardization by a low standard.” How right he was. Today, more than a hundred years after these words were written, literacy levels have plummeted and the number of people who regularly read books has dropped dramatically. The problem is especially marked among men. Many men spend their lives gazing at screens and never open the pages of a book. Most of us spend more time bowing our heads over our personal devices than we spend bowing our heads in prayer or in reading a good work of literature. For many of us, our gadgets have become “godgets,” to which we are not merely attached but to which we are chained addictively. The real test of whether our attachment to our …
The museum Künstlerhaus in Vienna, Austria, is presenting an exhibition titled “You Shall Make Yourself an Image.” It opened in late October 2025 and runs through 8 February 2026. The exhibition features about 40 provocateurs (“artists”) mocking Christian imagery. Catholic organizations and online petitions describe the exhibit as “blasphemous,” “insulting,” and as mocking key Christian symbols such as the crucifixion and imagery of the Virgin Mary. Works criticized include: - A wolf dressed in liturgical garments - A crucified frog - Portrayals of Mary as a trans woman or other provocative reinterpretations The Austrian right-wing party FPÖ (Austrian Freedom Party) condemned the exhibition as “a scandalous mockery of Christianity” and demanded that it be shut down, especially since it runs during Advent and Christmas and receives public funding. On Monday, a group of Catholics gathered outside the museum to protest the exhibition, including an act of penance prayer. However, …More

No endocrinologist is taking new patients in Saskatchewan but plenty of doctors who are ready to kill you through MAiD, medical assistance in dying. What a very morally sick first world nation Canada has become.
We need more people not to be afraid to share their faith, their belief in God in the public square, in this post-modern secular world. The baptized have a mission not to accommodate the world but to convert and transform it supernaturally. Good for Buble.
Isaiah 48:17-19 “Your peace would be like a river, your vindication like the waves of the sea.” By allowing the Lord to live within us and receive his grace, we open a window of possibilities. Matthew 11:16-19 “We played the flute for you, but you did not dance.” Sometimes we are ingenious in seeking all sorts of ways to reach people, but in our experience, this doesn't work. The shortest path is to lead the person into God’s heart to notice and receive his grace. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
The Parable of the White Crow A regular black crow walked into a diner and immediately noticed a white crow sitting quietly in the corner. The black crow strutted up to the counter, pulled out her wallet, and shouted loudly enough for everyone to hear: “Hey, waiter! I’m buying lunch for everyone in this place — except that white crow over there!” The waiter took the money and served food to every table… except the white crow’s. But instead of feeling embarrassed or offended, the white crow simply smiled at the black crow and said cheerfully: “Thank you!” That only made the black crow angrier. So she grabbed her wallet again and yelled: “Waiter! Fine. This time, I’m buying juice for everyone — except the white crow!” The waiter served juice to every customer except her. And once again, the white crow called out warmly: “Thank you!” Now furious, the black crow slammed her wings on the counter and hissed: “What is wrong with that white crow?! I’m buying food and drinks for everyone …More

DECEMBER 11 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 11,11-15. Jesus said to the crowds: "Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force. All the prophets and the law prophesied up to the time of John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is to come. Whoever has ears ought to hear."
Asked when he will move into the Apostolic Palace, Pope Leo XIV says “There is no date yet; I am comfortable where I am, in the [Palace of the] Holy Office."
When leaving Castel Gandolfo yesterday, Pope Leo XIV was asked by journalists why, unlike his predecessors, he had not prayed inside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul on 29 November. "Who said I didn't pray?" Leo XIV replied. “They said I didn’t, but I already explained on the plane – I mentioned a book – and perhaps I am praying even now.” The book in question was 'The Practice of the Presence of God' by Brother Lawrence. Leo XIV added that it is a matter of style and place of prayer, and that his favorite place to pray is a Catholic church in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. He called it "curious" that this moment had attracted so much attention. When asked when he will move into the Apostolic Palace, Pope Leo XIV said: "There is no date yet. I am comfortable where I am, in the Holy Office." Regarding US President Donald Trump, Pope Leo XIV believes that he is trying to break the "alliance" between the United States and Europe. He said: "The recent remarks made in interviews about …More

More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
[Saint Anselm of Canterbury/Anselm of Aosta; XI-XII Century AD; Aosta, Kingdom of Burgundy, Holy Roman Empire/Canterbury, England; (aged 72); Italian Benedictine Monk; Archbishop; Abbot; Philosopher; Theologian; Doctor of the Church] “CHAPTER IV - How the fool has said in his heart what cannot be conceived But how has the fool said in his heart what he could not conceive; or how is it that he could not conceive what he said in his heart? Since it is the same to say in the heart, and to conceive. But, if really, nay, since really, he both conceived, because he said in his heart; and did not say in his heart, because he could not conceive; there is more than one way in which a thing is said in the heart or conceived. For, in one sense, an object is conceived, when the word signifying it is conceived; and in another, when the very entity, which the object is, is understood. In the former sense, then, God can be conceived not to exist; but in the latter, not at all. For no one who understands …More
