A female clown danced in front of the Eucharistic table in the cathedral of Speyer, Germany, to celebrate or caricature a "Day of the Deaconess". The show was officially described as a "divine service". The Imperial Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St Stephen in Speyer dates from the 11th century and is the world's largest surviving Romanesque church and building. The clown show was led by six women and a female clown and was organised by [former] Catholic associations in Germany, several [former] Catholic women's associations and the Central Committee of German "Catholics" (ZdK), a powerful lay body and leading promoter of decadence in the German Church. The focus of the show was to push for [invalidly ordained] deaconesses. A 'Day of the Deaconess' has been celebrated by German dioceses since 1998. #newsLjzjuintiu

Ending mandatory celibacy is not an answer to the vocations crisis, as the article suggests. Also, while I don’t question the truth that there are far too many homosexual priests (there should never be one in active ministry at all), a self-selective study of 156 priests is not proof that 3 out of 4 priests are sodomites.

Thorn Tree Being a History of Thorn Worship of the Twelve Tribes of Israel Theta This work presents the history of thorn worship of the twelve tribes of Israel, but more especially of the lost tribes and the House of David. While writing this book, it revealed to the author the sublime truth in all the full magnificence of detail, that "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life," and that He who came down to earth, and was crowned with thorns, nailed with thorns, and who died on a Thau, was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high …More

Michael Shellenberger: "Poverty is the underlying cause of homelessness, say the mainstream media. But it's not. Poverty has declined steadily for decades as homelessness got worse. And people priced out of their housing for reasons unrelated to addiction or untreated mental illness find another place to live. They don't pitch a tent on the dirtiest and most dangerous sidewalks in America. The reason the problem grew so much worse is that a handful of well-financed ideological activists persuaded cities and states to incentivize homelessness through unconditional cash payments, promises of unconditional free housing, and the decriminalization of shoplifting and open-air drug dealing."

Luke 1:28 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. “Hail favored one” and “full of grace” can mean different things. Full of grace is the better translation.

ŚW. FAUSTYNA PRZEWIDZIAŁA SWOJĄ KANONIZACJĘ WIELE LAT WCZEŚNIEJ-S. FAUSTINA FORESAW HER CANONISATION SAINT FAUSTINA FORESAW HER CANONISATION MANY YEARS EARLIER The ceremony of canonisation was described by Sister Faustina in her "Diary" many years before the event. On March 23, 1937, she had a vision in which she saw that the ceremony was taking place simultaneously in Rome and Krakow, although she did not know the invention of television or tele-bridge communication. Thanks to technical and civilizational inventions, the participants of the canonization ceremony on April 30, 2000, whether they were in Rome or in Krakow, could experience it together. Thus, her prophetic vision concerning the canonisation ceremony in Rome and Krakow came true, as well as the prophecy concerning the establishment of the Divine Mercy Feast for the entire Church. This is how Sister Faustina herself described the celebration. Suddenly, I was flooded with God's presence and I saw myself all at once in Rome in …More

Let this saint guide you to greater hope this May on 04/30/24 May is the month of expectation ... St. Rita teaches us to hope for miracles. “May is the month of expectation … the month of hope,” said the great writer Emily Bronte. Indeed, the month of May is famous for its florid beauty, a month of hopefulness and fresh, new beginnings. And so, it is a good time to seek the intercession of St. Rita of Cascia, one of May’s most inspiring saints who can guide us to greater hope in God. This “patroness of impossible causes,” as she is known, could be called the female counterpart to St. Jude, who is known to be a patron saint of hopeless cases. St. Rita teaches us to hope for miracles. Her feast day is May 22, and her symbol is the rose. St. Rita was born in 1381. During her life she was first a wife and mother and then a widow and Augustinian nun. And so, she is a saint who can empathize with many walks of life. She was a mother of two sons, whom she loved deeply. Her husband was a …More
