French Bishops Condemn Euthanasia Law as ‘Serious Turning Point’: The French Bishops' Conference has condemned in words only the country's new law legalizing euthanasia, calling it "a serious turning point" in the nation's history. The bishops warn that the legislation breaks with the long tradition of caring for the sick and risks weakening trust between patients and caregivers. They also caution that the most vulnerable - including the elderly, the disabled, and those facing serious illness - could come under increasing pressure: "The greatness of a society is never found in giving death to the most vulnerable, but in accompanying them with genuine fraternity until the end."

When I’m planning operations, I’m constantly thinking about them. It’s my whole life. I live and breathe the operations I’m planning. I enjoy it. It’s fascinating.

We'd have to hear the whole speech, but I wonder why he says that being a Synodal Church means recognizing that we don't possess the truth but must seek it together. What truth is he referring to? Isn't the Church the pillar and foundation of truth?
Jhon 14,6 Jesus replied, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” What is he talking about? What are we talking about? The successors of the apostles and the Catholic Church are the sole holders of the truth and the way (well, okay: up until the Second Vatican Council) ----- Jn 14,6 Jézus azt felelte neki: „Én vagyok az út, az igazság és az élet. Senki sem jut az Atyához, csak általam." Miről beszél, miről beszélünk? Az apostol utódok és a katolikus egyház az egyetlen igazság birtokosa, útja (na jó: a II. Vatikáni Zsinatig)
France Adopts Assisted Dying Law: Today, France's National Assembly voted 291–241 to adopt legislation legalizing assisted dying. While individual healthcare professionals may refuse to participate, Catholic hospitals and care homes are denied an institutional conscience clause.
Adoption de la loi sur l’aide à mourir - Par 291 voix contre 241 la loi est adoptée. Les catholiques attendent désormais une réaction forte de l’Église de France, à la hauteur de la désolation et des conséquences que cette loi entraînera
The “methodology” of the consistories under Leo XIV risks undermining open debate, Cardinal Raymond Burke told Edward Pentin on CardinalNews.substack.com (July 15) [as if the problem were not the content and personnel policy]. Cardinal Burke said dissent in the small groups is excluded because the reports reflect only “what every cardinal agreed upon,” meaning significant minority views may be omitted. Overall, he described the consistory as a “very controlled” process, with pre-selected discussion leaders and limited opportunities for free intervention. “Synodality Has to Be Stopped” Turning to the growing use of “synodality” in the Church, Cardinal Burke questioned its theological and historical basis: “There is no definition of synodality, there’s no history of it in the Church.” His concern is the merging of established structures, such as consistories, with this undefined concept, “We have to insist that this whole synodality business stop.” He argued, without laughing, that synodality …More
It seems that the Cardinal has not taken the long view of the situation. The fact that the Synodal process mutes dissenting voices is exactly what it was designed to do. The fact that Tradiciones Custodes pushes away youth and those looking for a church rather than an NGO, is specifically what it was meant to do. Amoris Letitia is intended to bring in situational ethics, Fiducia Supplicans is intended to push out straight men, etc. It is a unified plan whose goal was the emptying of churches and the corruption of the aging and confused few who stay. It is a sad situation only made sadder by the theatre of a cardinal acting like there are just a few tweaks needed.
Do the right thing! Liturgy of Sunday 19 of July 2026 - XVI of the T.O. Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, by revealing to us in advance, through the parable of the wheat and the weeds, the final outcome of the "war" between good and evil; between children of the Kingdom and those of darkness: invites us not to make mistakes. What do we really want to be in the field of the world: wheat or weeds? Don't you think that responding with gratitude and enthusiasm to the tender and merciful love of the Father who created us, redeemed us in Christ His Son and enhanced us with His Holy Spirit would be the right choice? Don't you think that putting ourselves at the service of our brothers and sisters' hunger for dignity, freedom, peace and above all for love and God, makes our life so beautiful that it would deserve to be fully lived here on earth and with boundless joy in Heaven? Finally, dear brothers and sisters, let me tell you something, you know it would be, really, foolish to “miss out” the …More
What would the Persian Gulf look like without America? For decades, the United States has presented itself as the guarantor of security in the Persian Gulf. But what has that presence meant for the region, and what could replace it? This video examines the rise of a new regional security order being shaped by Iran and the countries of the region themselves. en.rahbar.ir | @MKhamenei_en Iran Military
Barnhardt Blog: There were FOUR Canonists jumping up and down declaring that the whole “Pope emeritus” thing was an ontological impossibility, and that only resigning the ministry of the active governance of the Church and not the Office (munus) was invalid in toto. Those Canonists were: —Manuel Jesus Arroba, a professor of canon law at the Pontifical Lateran University, who raised the alarm only TWO DAYS after Pope Benedict’s announcement. —Former rector of the Pontifical Gregorian University, the Jesuit Gianfranco Ghirlanda, published a lengthy article on March 2, ARSH 2013 refuting the possibility of a “Pope emeritus”. —Valerio Gigliotti, a professor of the history of European law at the University of Torino. —Fr. Stefano Violi, a professor of law at the theological faculty of Emilia Romagna. Citation HERE from Sandro Magister’s blog in September of ARSH 2014. Pope John Paul II: “An emeritus Pope is impossible.” Tosatti: Ratzinger Considers Himself Pope There was no apostolic succession …More

1) Revelation 16:13-14, 16; And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons, performing signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world to gather them for the great battle on the Great Day of God Almighty. They summoned them to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. 2) How did it all start? a) Ezekiel 28:14-15, 18; I had made you an anointed cherub, a protector with outstretched wings; you were on God’s holy mountain, walking among fiery stones. You were blameless in your conduct from the day you were created until the day iniquity was found in you. Your heart has grown swollen with pride on account of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom owing to your splendor. I have thrown you to the ground; b) Isaiah 14:13-15; You who said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on …More
