"How I love my Mother! What would have become of me, if I had not had Our Lady? She has preserved me from countless dangers. Ah, my dear Mother, I will love Thee always and forever!" - St. Gemma Galgani

“Chapter IV The Virgin Mother delivered a certain monk devoted to her from the Devil and also converted him from the habit of drunkenness. The story goes that a monk devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary having entered the cellar of the abbey, so soaked himself in strong wine that he soon became senseless. And, after remaining there some time, awaking presently from his drunken sleep he tried to go to the church through the cloister, and there met him the Devil under the appearance of a very great bull trying to pierce him with its horns. Then there came to him a very beautiful maiden with long hair flowing over her shoulders and holding in her right hand a linen handkerchief, who rated the devil, and bade him depart from the household of God; then suddenly both visions vanished. But when that monk walked on and approached the church, the Devil again came in the shape of a dreadful dog, who leapt violently upon him. Thereupon appeared that maiden, compelling him to depart and again rescuing …More
In October, Pope Leo XIV received a delegation from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, led by Archbishop José Gomez. Among them were two homosexuals from California who have been in a [pseudo-]marriage since 2023, reports the Substack.com account Letters From Leo on November 13. The two homosexuals are Alex Capecelatro, an AI tech entrepreneur, and Brian Stevens, a philanthropist who is much older than Capecelatro. Stevens is a former seminarian and a Knight of Malta who has led more than thirty pilgrimages to Lourdes. When Leo XIV heard "we are married," Capecelatro later wrote on social media, he received them "with unmistakable warmth and kindness, not a hint of hesitation". Then, with a playful grin, Capecelatro asked Leo XIV: "I have one very important question: How did you do at Wordle today?" The Pope burst into laughter. It turned out that both needed six tries to solve the puzzle for the word "Glare". Leo XIV came back to compare notes about it minutes later. “Did that really just …More
At the recent plenary assembly of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bishop Strickland made a rare intervention from the floor. He spoke up regarding a controversy involving Father James Martin and the wider question of fidelity to the Church’s teaching. It was a moment that cut through the atmosphere of procedural calm and reminded everyone present that the unity of the Church is founded first on the truth.
Bishop Strickland stands up in USCCB (November 12) and urges bishops to respond to Fr James Martin overseeing the confirmation & reception of Holy Communion by a 'married' gay man: "We need to address this". There was no response from the panel/chair.
Police have opened an investigation after the Sacré-Cœur parish church in Lourdes was vandalized on November 11. Officers found the main doors marked with graffiti reading “À mort Jésus-Christ” (“Death to Jesus Christ”) and “Sale race de Jésus-Christ” (“Dirty race of Jesus Christ”). The messages were removed, and no suspects have been identified. The attack comes amid rising anti-Christian incidents in France. In 2023, the country recorded nearly 1,000 of Europe’s 2,444 anti-Christian hate crimes. Church arson attacks rose by over 30 percent in 2024, and authorities logged 322 anti-Christian acts between January and May 2025, a 13 percent increase from the previous year.
Voici les INSCRIPTIONS ANTICHRÉTIENNES qui ont été découvertes sur la porte centrale de l’église paroissiale du Sacré-Cœur à Lourdes : "À mort Jésus-Christ" et "Sale race de Jésus-Christ".

The Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, reportedly informed the bishops at their autumn assembly that Pope Leo XIV would grant all their requests for the Roman rite.
Totally farcical. The Latin mass, backed up by almost two millennia of sacred and official practice, is either legitimate or it isn't. 'On/off' buttons/extensions are for despots.

Curia Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, 96, one of the last witnesses of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), spoke with Katholisch.de on November 13. Key points. - During the Council, many were electrified. - The Council did not bring the hoped-for new vitality to the Church. - In the years following the Council, the Church in Germany and other countries went downhill to an extent that had been unimaginable before. - After the Council, a great deal was called into question. Suddenly, nothing seemed to be valid anymore. - Theological faculties no longer taught truly Catholic theology. - The Zeitgeist took hold of the results of the Council and reinterpreted them. Mostly, only “the spirit of the Council” was quoted. - “But actually”, the Council produced very good results. - The Council’s principles of liturgical reform were good and right. - The so-called Tridentine Mass is by no means perfect. There are some things that need to be corrected. - What later led to the split of the “…More
"If the liturgical reform had been implemented correctly, the new longing for the old form would hardly have existed." Socialists say the same thing about Socialism: "it has never worked because socialism has never been implemented correctly."
Nostra Aetate and Lumen Gentium are heretical and apostate documents. They promote the heresy of religious indifferentism. The heretics who infiltrated the Council rendered it heretical because it contains heretical documents fabricated by homosexual heretics, such as Nostra Aetate, upon which the post-conciliar ecumenical apostasy is based.
De-humanization. It is tragic we lack the pontifical acumen to fight it at the moment. LGBTetc rights, climate feudalism, and migratory invasions are of paramount importance.
