I wonder what his parents think about their son fighting on the side of Russia while they are fighting on the side of Ukraine. Not good I am sure. Here is another post with Poland losing their mind again. Russia condemns Polish detention of Hermitage … There are many Polish soldiers and mercenaries fighting in Ukraine. They are dying or captured quickly.
Camus @newstart_2024 Calley Means (ex-Big Pharma & Big Food insider) just said the quiet part out loud — calmly, clearly, and with receipts: “Chronic disease is the greatest profit-maximizing invention in human history — because it’s recurring revenue and we don’t die right away.” No yelling. No conspiracy. Just cold, hard economics. Fact: Healthcare is now America’s #1 industry. Fact: It grows fastest when we stay sick longest. Fact: More paychecks, mortgages, and retirements depend on managed illness than on actual cures. He’s not attacking anyone — he’s simply asking us to look at the scoreboard we all live under. If tomorrow every incentive flipped from “treat forever” to “prevent completely” — what’s the very first thing you’d change in your own life? Be honest. I’m reading every reply.
Pope Leo XIV published today an Apostolic Letter on archaeology. Marking 100 years since the founding of the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology, he described the discipline as “indispensable for understanding Christianity”: “Revelation is always history. If this is so, then understanding Revelation requires an adequate knowledge of the historical, cultural and material contexts in which it took place,” he wrote. The Pontifical Institute, founded in 1925, is led by German priest Stefan Heid. He is world-famous for his research showing that the early Church celebrated Holy Mass ad orientem.

Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim told AcePrensa.com on December 9 that we are already living in a post-secular age, something especially evident in northern Europe. He said that people are turning to Catholicism "because it is true", as many grow disillusioned with other options. "With so much collapse — of old certainties and institutions — and the fragility of our political, cultural, ecological and financial lives, people are looking for parameters that promise to withstand the flood." Regarding the increase in attendance at Mass in the Roman rite, Bishop Varden noted that this is happening "in some places, not everywhere". It is linked to a search for beauty, which the Church can offer. He urged simply celebrating the liturgy well and follow the rubrics: "Do the red and say the black." Referring to the Chartres pilgrimage over Pentecost, he observed that the young participants were impossible to categorise, ranging from people who attend charismatic services to those who attend the …More
The Polish Bishops’ Conference has invited Pope Leo XIV to visit Poland. Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda of Gdańsk delivered the invitation during a private audience, noting that 2027 would be a fitting occasion as the Church marks the 150th anniversary of the Marian apparitions in Gietrzwałd. The Pope said his schedule for 2026–27 is already full but that he would consider the visit. According to Monsignor Wojda, Leo XIV expressed his affection for Poland and recalled visiting the country many times before.

Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra Registered nurse and whistleblower Michelle Spencer says that every time a newborn is given a hepatitis B shot, the baby is being exposed to far more aluminum than the FDA’s recommended limit, calling it a form of chemical assault. She says she has been warning mothers not to allow the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and the refusal rate has grown so much that the hospital held a meeting about it. According to Spencer, administrators accused nurses of giving “biased information” because so many mothers were now declining the hep-B shot.
NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned that war with Russia 'is at our door' as he urged European allies to prepare for action now or risk facing a conflict on the scale 'our grandparents and great-grandparents endured'. Speaking in Berlin on Thursday, Rutte said too many NATO members remained 'quietly complacent' about the threat posed by Moscow and insisted Europe must urgently ramp up defence spending and weapons production to deter Vladimir Putin. 'We are Russia's next target,' he said. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don't feel the urgency. 'And too many believe that time is on our side. It is not. The time for action is now.' 'Conflict is at our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe. And we must be prepared,' he added. Rutte warned Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years and said that without immediate investment, Europe could find itself fighting a war reminiscent of the 20th-century catastrophes that devastated the …

Thursday of the second week of Advent. Of the Purest Conception of our Lady. DAILY MEDITATIONS OF THE MYSTERIES OF OUR HOLY FAITH, By the P. Alonso de Andrade FROM THE COMPANY OF JESUS. PRAYER TO BEGIN By the sign of the Holy Cross, from our enemies delier us, Lord, our God. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. My Lord and my God: I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with deep reverence.

Ultimately, one of the central problems of Novus Ordo (among many elbowing their way in for first place, and we know what our Lord thought about anything seeking to be 'first') is that it appears to be focused upon the liturgy as performance as opposed to the liturgy as all encompassing prayer.
