Saint Anthony of Padua bobandpennylordministry Saint Anthony of Padua was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church. There are 33 Doctors of the Church. In the 2,000 years since the Church was instituted, out of its millions of holy people, and thousands of canonized Saints, only 33 have been given the honor of this title. We have written about 15 of them thus far. Saint Anthony of Padua, the saint we pray to for lost objects, is one of these honored people. But until the Lord decided to put St. Anthony into active ministry, he was a dishwasher and confessor to Franciscan hermits. No one had any idea what the Lord had locked up in the mind and heart of this great Saint.

Matthew [5:20-26] The Law and the Prophets, Concerning Anger Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5,20-26. Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven. You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.' But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand …More

Francis received homosexual activist James Martin, a fellow Jesuit, at Casa Santa Marta on 12 June for an hour-long meeting. Afterwards, the homosexual activist wrote on Twitter.com: "With his permission to share this, the Holy Father said he has known many good, holy and celibate seminarians and priests with homosexual tendencies." According to Martin, Francis also "confirmed" his homosexual activism and "showed his openness and love" for those who practice homosexual sin without repentance. #newsNcscspzjmr

Francis Maier, a longtime aide to Monsignor Charles Chaput, the former Archbishop of Philadelphia, has published the book "True Confessions: Voices of Faith from a Life in the Church." It contains interviews with US bishops, who must of course remain anonymous. One bishop tells Maier that "a pope should be the principle of unity in the Church; instead Francis is promoting ambiguity that feeds division" (NcrOnline.org, 10 June). Another bishop said of Francis: "His distaste for the United States and its bishops is obvious and unwarranted. His manner is authoritarian. And it's revealing that not a single seminarian inspired by Francis has come to this diocese during his tenure. A Church under pressure needs better than this." A third bishop gives Francis credit for supposedly "reforming" the Vatican's finances: "I think his manner of governance is actually quite ruthless. It weakens the authority of the papal office." "Francis seems to have a coterie around him with an unhelpful ideology …More

The Vatican has decided to further tighten the screws on journalists accredited to the Vatican, reports IlMessagero.it (9 June). The aim is to ensure "a certain vigilance" against Francis' embarrassing remarks, even though the oligarchs' media activists do everything they can to protect Francis from criticism. From now on, audio recordings of audiences with groups in the Apostolic Palace, previously broadcast live in the press room, will no longer be available. Prepared speeches will also no longer be available in advance. Only the boring catechesis for Wednesday audiences and the Angelus prayer will remain accessible as before. There are already a number of restrictions that would have been unthinkable under John Paul II and Benedict XVI, such as a ban on international press pools during visits by heads of state. There is also a sharp control of the court journalists during Francis's plane interviews to avoid real questions. Critical journalists are kept at a distance and interviews …More

There is a "danger of ideologies" in the Church, Francis, himself highly ideological, said on 11th June during a meeting with 200 Roman priests at the Salesian University in Rome. According to an earlier announcement, 500 priests were expected. But it is no secret that the Roman clergy is tired of Francis' nonsense. Ansa.it reports that Bergoglio returned several times to the subject of homosexuality, which is very close to his heart. He trumpeted that "there is an air of faggotry in the Vatican", again using the Italian term "frociaggine" [=faggotry], an expression not used among normal people. At the same time, he said that "if a boy has a homosexual tendency, it is better not to let him enter the seminary: they are good boys, but with this tendency, better not". Why, then, does the stench of homosexual sin ("frociaggine") permeate the Vatican, from which Francis kicks out anyone he doesn't like? As he has done before, Francis recommended the Rev Lorenzo Milani, a left-wing homosexual …More

"Pope Frociesco also said that "traditionalists" were "not good". This is a false statement, and has been proven so over the last 50+ years. The radical progressive/liberal squad in the Church who have destroyed the religious life, liturgy, etc. are the ones in the Church who are "not good". But their day of reckoning is coming soon, with Bergoglio finally gone, and a Pope who is a CAtholic in office.

The Church was wrong to see "no danger in secularised art", writes the German writer Martin Mosebach (Communio, June 2024). According to Mosebach, after the so-called "Enlightenment", artists refused to be instructed on how to paint sacred art and refused to follow the tradition of sacred art. They "embraced a theology that dissolved the Gospel into the abstract-philosophical or secular-political". This art was in keeping with a "Church that was moving ever closer to the areligious zeitgeist". In the meantime, even the cross has become "too intrusive" for many artists [and clerics] and "smells too eerily of blood and sacrifice". Mosebach points to the main problem: the clergy no longer know how to relate to Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity. If many bishops and priests do not know how to deal with the tradition of the Church, especially with the will of early Christianity to pass on an authentic image of Jesus, "how can one expect anything else from artists but weakly sketched …More

Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil, 68, of Ernakulam-Angamaly of the Syro-Malabar rite, India, issued an ultimatum (3 July), telling his priests to either accept a liturgical compromise or face excommunication. It is the latest development in a long-running, bitter liturgical dispute that has escalated since the Syro-Malabar Synod decided in 2021 to introduce a single liturgy. The compromise calls for the Liturgy of the Word to be arranged watching the people, while the Eucharistic Sacrifice is celebrated in the face of God. The opponents of the reform want to preside over the whole liturgy watching the people, as has been done illegally for 50 years. They have announced that they will not comply with the ultimatum, reports UcaNews.com. They have even proposed to separate from the archdiocese and establish a new prelature on the same territory, linked to Rome. Lay people who attend a Eucharist from 4 July that is not celebrated according to the compromise are threatened with not fulfilling …More
