A fascinating and disturbing article: “Making All Religions One.” The article traces the rise of modern ecumenism and argues that the movement was not simply a spontaneous theological development, but was also influenced by powerful American foundations, political interests, and even the psychological-warfare apparatus of the U.S. national-security establishment. One of the most intriguing figures is Henry Kissinger, who in the 1950s was involved in the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Special Studies Project, where Jesuit theologian John Courtney Murray was brought into discussions concerning America’s future. Murray had previously been censured by Rome (good Catholic popes), yet later became an important theological influence at the Second Vatican Council. The article then follows Murray’s remarkable transition from being silenced by Rome to becoming one of the influential voices in the development of Dignitatis Humanae. It also points to the young Karol Wojtyła, as another important …More

Bishop Strickland about Vatican 2 and Bishop Lefebvre “GO AND REPAIR MY HOUSE, WHICH, AS YOU SEE, IS FALLING INTO RUIN” Dear Sons and Daughters in Christ, I know that some of you believe I have changed. Some fear that I have crossed over to “the other side.” Some wonder whether, after years of speaking plainly and courageously about the crisis in the Church, defending the traditional Roman liturgy, questioning what was done in the name of the Second Vatican Council, and speaking openly about Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, I am now retreating from those convictions. Some of you may even feel betrayed. So before I say anything else, I want to say this plainly: I have not moved. The words Christ spoke to St. Francis at San Damiano – “Go and repair my house, which, as you see, is falling into ruin” – have weighed heavily upon my heart. I have not forgotten what happened to the Church. I have not forgotten what happened to the sacred liturgy, to Catholic catechesis, to religious life, to priestly …More
Bishop Strickland "There is a phrase Catholics have heard for more than sixty years. “Vatican II changed that.” Why don’t we hear Latin anymore? Vatican II. Why did the Mass change? Vatican II. Why did Gregorian chant disappear from so many Catholic churches? Vatican II. Why did practices surrounding Holy Communion change? Vatican II. Why did sanctuaries change? Vatican II. Why did so many customs Catholics had known for generations suddenly disappear? Again and again, the answer was simply, “Vatican II.” Those two words became an explanation for almost everything that happened in Catholic life in the years following the Council. But lately I have been wondering whether that explanation is the right one. Not because Vatican II called for no change. It certainly did. But because when we actually sit down and read the documents of the Council, something interesting begins to happen. We discover that some things commonly attributed to Vatican II are not actually in Vatican II. Other things …More
European bishops sidestep ‘Traditionis Custodes’, continuing traditional Latin Masses in parish churches without Vatican dispensation. Last week, the Dicastery for Divine Worship published all its decrees from 2025, including permissions for the 1962 Roman Missal in parish churches. The list shows permissions for 55 parishes in 33 dioceses. 41 of the parish-church locations in the 2025 decrees are in the United States - about 75%. France is conspicuously absent from the 2025 index despite its importance among Catholics. No parish church in Paris appears among the Dicastery’s published dispensations in 2023, 2024 or 2025. Obviously, there are Masses. In the Paris parish of Saint-Eugène–Sainte-Cécile, the old Mass has been celebrated since the 1980s and remains part of the daily and Sunday schedule. Sainte-Odile also lists a Sunday Mass in the 1962 rite. Another example is London, England. No dispensation for a London parish church appears in the Dicastery’s published indexes for 2023,…More

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 3,13-17. Jesus said to Nicodemus : "No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

Chiara Corbella war eine der sechzehn italienischen Frauen, die Giorgia Meloni in ihrer Antrittsrede vom 25. Oktober 2022 erwähnte, neben Nilde Iotti, Tina Anselmi, Grazia Deledda, Rita Levi Montalcini oder Oriana Fallaci. Petrillo antwortet, dass er es nicht erwartet habe, dass er sich geehrt fühle, dass er nie mit Meloni gesprochen habe noch sie kenne, und dass man sich daran erinnern solle, dass seine Frau ein ganz normales Mädchen war.
“JUST ONCE” CAN BECOME A PRISON: A POWERFUL WARNING TO YOUNG PEOPLE | SG News Actor, filmmaker and Catholic activist Eduardo Verástegui is drawing attention with a strong message urging young people not to experiment with drugs. His warning focuses on a decision that can initially appear harmless: trying a substance “just once.” Verástegui argues that experimentation can gradually develop into repeated use and, for some people, dependence and addiction — affecting physical health, mental wellbeing, relationships, family life and a person’s future. Modern addiction science supports the seriousness of that concern. According to the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse, repeated drug use can alter brain systems involved in reward, stress and self-control. Over time, those changes can contribute to compulsive drug use even when a person understands that the behavior is causing harm. Addiction, however, should not simply be dismissed as a lack of character or willpower. Medical experts …More
„NUR EINMAL“ KANN ZUM GEFÄNGNIS WERDEN: EINE EINDRINGLICHE WARNUNG AN JUNGE MENSCHEN | SG News Der Schauspieler, Filmemacher und katholische Aktivist Eduardo Verástegui macht mit einer eindringlichen Botschaft auf sich aufmerksam und appelliert an junge Menschen, nicht mit Drogen zu experimentieren. Seine Warnung konzentriert sich auf eine Entscheidung, die zunächst harmlos erscheinen mag: eine Substanz „nur einmal“ auszuprobieren. Verástegui argumentiert, dass Experimentieren allmählich zu wiederholtem Konsum und bei manchen Menschen zu Abhängigkeit und Sucht führen kann – mit negativen Auswirkungen auf die körperliche Gesundheit, das psychische Wohlbefinden, Beziehungen, das Familienleben und die Zukunft. Die moderne Suchtforschung bestätigt die Ernsthaftigkeit dieser Befürchtung. Laut dem US-amerikanischen National Institute on Drug Abuse kann wiederholter Drogenkonsum die Gehirnsysteme verändern, die für Belohnung, Stress und Selbstkontrolle zuständig sind. Mit der Zeit können diese …More

The Infinite Ocean I remember when I was in highschool, the school took us to a catholic retreat, the confessional was open and it was my turn, an old priest was waiting, I sat down and pour my sins in the open, that confession was like any other... Repeat offender? Yeah, Did I want to get better? Sure, but the only thing I remember about this particular confession was what happened at the end... The priest took his hand and put it exactly where my heart is and said to me: "Remember this, Jesus loves you, He loves you." My heart started to burn, literally... The sensation or the feel of this fire burning my heart from the inside out was surprising yes, ethereal and magnific... There and then I knew Love. This actually happened to me, such an unworthy human being, no humility, no holiness, no nothing just a sad clown looking to roll with the world, while my Lord waited and waited and waited and still... waits on me, this sack of unworthiness, I wish the Love I was shown in my heart would've …More
‘The Templar Rule Of Order’; ‘The Primitive Rule’; ‘The Names of the Fathers…’; pages 2 The original Latin Rule of Order was penned with the assistance of the young Cistercian Abbott, Bernard of Clairvaux. The rule is very similar to the modified Benedictine rule used by the Cistercian order. This makes perfect sense as the two orders were closely related and linked. The Primitive Rule of the Templars The Names of the Fathers who Attended the Council 6. First was Matthew, bishop of Albano, by the grace of God legate of the Holy Church of Rome; R[enaud], archbishop of Reims; H(enri), archbishop of Sens; and then their suffragans: G(ocelin], bishop of Soissons; the bishop of Paris; the bishop of Troyes; the bishop of Orlèans; the bishop of Auxerre; the bishop of Meaux; the bishop of Chalons; the bishop of Laon; the bishop of Beauvais; the abbot of Vèzelay, who was later made archbishop of Lyon and legate of the Church of Rome; the abbot of Cîteaux; the abbot of Pontigny; the abbot of …More

Nel video, padre Agnello Stoia parroco della Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano, dice :" ...il diavolo, per quanto mi stia molto simpatico, e non è mai così brutto come lo dipingono sicuramente... che magari mette pepe un pò nella vita della gente..."
