Lombardy's Bishops on Their Phones: All ten bishops of Lombardy gathered from July 5–10 at the Hermitage of Montecastello in Tignale del Garda for their annual Spiritual Exercises, led by Bishop Massimiliano Palinuro, Apostolic Administrator of Istanbul. They met "for prayer, reflection, and fraternity." The photo showing the bishops all looking down at their phones could be reading the Breviary.

Over 1,500 Polish settlements in Volhynia were completely destroyed. Between 1943 and 1946, Ukrainian nationalists murdered up to approximately 100,000 Poles in Volhynia, Eastern Lesser Poland, and the Lublin region. They perished in nearly 4,000 localities. To this day, the majority of the victims have not received exhumation, individual commemoration, or a Christian burial. Their remains still lie in unmarked graves, killing pits, forests, fields, and the sites of villages that no longer exist. Historian Dr. Leon Popek described the tragedy of the Polish inhabitants of Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland—as well as the dramatic struggle to preserve the memory of the victims—in an article titled "Memory of Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland," published in *Biuletyn IPN* (IPN Bulletin) No. 4/2017. The researcher not only highlighted the scale of the genocide perpetrated by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army but also outlined the fate of the locations …More
It is all terrifying—unimaginable that it could truly happen—yet at the same time too contemporary, too fresh. One cannot show children impaled on fence pickets, people sawed in half, limbs hacked off, bodies crushed in the gears of horse mills, the bellies of pregnant women ripped open, or people burned alive. It is impossible, for no viewer—no normal human being—could bear the sight.
Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal Market Analyst Tom Luongo says Trump isn't fighting Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz; he's using the Strait to break Europe's ability to finance the Ukraine war. Most people see Iran and Ukraine as two separate conflicts, but Tom thinks they're the same war being fought on different fronts. His argument is that oil is the collateral that underpins the modern economy. The more expensive and uncertain energy becomes, the harder it is for European governments to borrow cheaply, keep their industries competitive, and continue funding Ukraine at the current pace. That's why he thinks the Strait of Hormuz matters so much, because whoever controls the world's most important energy chokepoint also influences the financial foundations that wars are fought on. Trump can't simply announce the end of the Ukraine war, even if he wants to, because too many powerful interests are invested in keeping the conflict going. So instead of attacking the war directly, Tom believes …More
Jesus Isn't One Savior Among Many The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of acknowledging Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God, as the foundation of the Church. This belief is crucial for salvation, as Jesus is the only means of salvation, not just one among many. The Church, established by Jesus, is the means through which this saving work continues, and its mission is to spread the truth and love of Jesus to all. Fr.

God Bless you Father. Please take a moment to pray for all the unborn babies in danger of abortion. As you know the condemnation of abortion is the latest, most recent infallible dogma of the Catholic Church. This was done by Evangelium Vitae in 1995 with the same authority as all the Marian dogmas and the founding of the Catholic Church by Christ. JMJ
And here is the ultimate question: What happened after that unfortunate evening of 26 October 1958? Well, the conclave continued as if nothing had happened! Except that, from that moment on, there was one absent: the Holy Spirit. In fact, by accepting the new Pope's invalid resignation, since it was made under duress, the cardinals violated Pius XII's Apostolic Constitution, which stated that the conclave was now over since white smoke had been seen and his successor had been legitimately elected. By illegally continuing a conclave that no longer had any reason to exist, they drove away the Holy Spirit, and it was nothing more than a meeting of men who no longer had divine assistance: it was the beginning of the great Apostasy announced by Saint Paul, an Apostasy that will soon end with the unveiling of the Antichrist.

If being a Catholic is the Way one lives one's life rather than merely an adjective then the title for this article makes no rational sense. Otherwise, we fall into the trap of believing all the other people who " identify" with logical absurdities.

Many bishops in the USA (and elsewhere) forbid Catholics from attending Mass in chapels belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, yet they welcome schismatics and homosexuals. Three examples: Arlington Bishop: FSSPX Sacraments Are "Invalid" Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, instructed Catholics to “avoid participating in the activities of the FSSPX.” In a letter dated 8 July, he wrote that "any celebrations of the sacraments of confession and matrimony by the FSSPX are invalid, and the administration of other sacraments is illicit". In September 2025, Bishop Burbidge said that his meeting with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew was “incredible,” and marked a “historic moment of Christian unity”. Covington Bishop: FSSPX Mass Is "Abuse of Eucharist" Bishop John Iffert of Covington, Kentucky, said in a recent statement that the sacraments from the FSSPX are “illicit”: “The Masses these priests celebrate are an abuse of the Eucharist, insofar as they make the …More
Doesn't Rome recognize the confessions and marriages of the schismatic Orthodox as valid? So if the SSPX is in schism, it should be given the same favor.
What Fernández wrote on paper – and what was also signed by a Vatican lackey – only proves how far the Vatican has departed from Christ and from the faith. It was worth seeing the consecration of the bishops of the Society of St Pius X: what peace, what joy, what prayerful atmosphere, what solemnity! Nothing like that can be seen in the post-conciliar Church anymore. In contrast, the Vatican is in chaos … The Society therefore hoped that it might succeed. But those who wish to serve Christ must carry their cross to the very end, just as Christ carried His cross. They said to Him: Come down from the cross; save yourself and us, because we want to live here on our own terms and go about our business. But Christ did not come down from the cross and fulfilled God’s will to the very end – unto death on the cross. For years, the Society has been trying to make contact with the Vatican. In the Vatican, however, key positions are increasingly being occupied by people who have been completely …More
Tu jest błąd: " Ale Chrystus nie zstąpił z krzyża i nie wypełnił woli Bożej do samego końca – aż do śmierci na krzyżu." - taki mały niuans, a jaka zmiana całego sensu naszej Wiary, ech czasy elektronów i papki medialnej.

The Roman Rite Returns to Another Monastery: Today, twelve Benedictine monks from Le Barroux officially established a new monastic community at Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine Abbey in western France. Founded in the early 12th century, the abbey was home to Trappist monks from 1816 until their departure in 2025. Fr. Raphaël, the new prior, paid tribute to the departing community: "The monastery is in very good condition. The brothers cared for it until the very end, always hoping they could remain." And: "Our liturgy will be celebrated in Latin and Gregorian chant. There will be those who like it and those who do not. Each person must discern for himself."
Douze moines de l’abbaye du Barroux, dans le Vaucluse, s’installeront aujourd’hui à l’abbaye Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine, en Maine-et-Loire, relançant ainsi une vie bénédictine interrompue depuis 1642, après le départ des moines trappistes en 2025.
