"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." (Matthew 5,6)

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

Making All Religions One On the foundations that paid for the ecumenical age, the war planners who weaponized it, and the popes who condemned it in advance "That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me."1 Everyone quotes it. It has been on the letterhead of every ecumenical body since 1910, it gets read at every interfaith breakfast, and it is the single verse you can count on hearing whenever somebody wants you to stop asking which church is the Church. It is also Our Lord's prayer on the night before He died. In the 20th century that prayer was overheard by the men who ran the foundations and men who planned the wars, and what they heard in it was an opening. I don't believe the drive to dissolve the visible Church into a process of convergence, the thing that matures in our own decade into talk of an Abrahamic house of faith, was a spontaneous movement of the Spirit across the denominations …

SABOTAŽA FILOZOFIJE
Sabotaža Filozofije u Prirodnim Znanostima i Teologiji
Knjiga, Sabotaža filozofije u prirodnim znanostima i teologiji – Apologetski priručnik br. 4, 220 stranica, autora Branka Kozulića, izišla je iz tiska. — koja se ovdje može nabaviti.
Urednikova riječ
Filozofija u širem smislu riječi predstavlja ljudsko promišljanje o temeljnim stvarima i kao takva možemo reći da je najstarija disciplina jer postoji još od prapovijesti. Kao predmet u užem smislu racionalnoga i sustavnoga istraživanja filozofija nastaje u šestom stoljeću prije Krista. Na srednjovjekovnim sveučilištima ona se proučava kao priprema za studij teologije, prava i medicine. I danas je filozofija obvezna kao priprema za studij teologije.
Mnogi ljudi misle da filozofija više nije važna, jer eto danas svatko ima svoju „filozofiju“. No, to je velika zabluda. Upravo knjiga Sabotaža filozofije u prirodnim znanostima i teologiji dr. Branka Kozulića daje nam jako dobar poučak kako je filozofija iznimno važna …More

The Disease, the Cause and the Cure
Every day, Catholic writers publish another article warning us about what is going wrong in the Church. Synodality, conciliarism, liturgical abuses, doctrinal confusion — the list seems endless. Much of what they write is true, necessary and long overdue. But after reading so much of it, one question becomes increasingly difficult to avoid: are we going to keep describing the disease, or will someone finally dare to speak about its cause — and about the cure?

Well, the cure should be proper to the level. For example, different are responsibilities (and capabilities) of bishops and simple laymen.

Question:
Based on all going issues since Benedict XVI resigned from ministerium and not from munus, how one can consider Bergoglio and Prevost were/are true popes?
Canon 332 §2 of the 1983 Code states plainly:
Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestetur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptetur.
"If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns his munus, it is required for validity that the resignation be freely made and properly manifested, but it is not necessary that it be accepted by anyone."
The canon uses munus — not ministerium, not officium, not any other term. Munus in the canonical tradition carries the weight of the office itself: the ontological reality, the gift-and-burden of the Petrine charge, not merely its active exercise.
On February 11, 2013, Benedict XVI declared in Latin:
...declaro me ministerio Episcopi Romae, Successoris Sancti Petri, mihi per manus Cardinalium die 19 aprilis MMV …More

Sydney's Croatian Catholics celebrated the traditional Croatian Glagolitic Rite Mass in Australia in early July, a rare occasion which revived a ninth-century tradition tracing back to Saints Cyril and Methodius.

Many Catholics think that “Catholic” means “universal,” and they are correct, but they make the mistake of thinking this is universal not through history, but just today in this current Church crisis.
We look to the great saint and doctor of the Church of the 5th century, St. Vincent of Lerins, for how to navigate a Church crisis when many bishops believe and teach different things. St. Vincent of Lerins was one of the very, very few bishops who fought against the global 5th century heresy of Arianism believed by 98% of the bishops of his day.

Who are the SSPX? They are like the man to whom Jesus gave sight, who for his unbending loyalty to Jesus was cast out of the synagogue. Imagine what that meant to everyone watching — yet the man loved Christ all the more and worshipped Him (Jn 9:22,34-38).
Leo leading the Vatican has taken the role of the Pharisees (Jn 9:16), who for their own Godless agenda seek to weaponise the law, who put canonical technicalities before grace, who know not that the end of the law is salvation, who by their blatant hypocrisy condemn themselves (Jn 9:40-41).
How cruel are the men of the Vatican? They do not rejoice in Catholic life. They wield the law not for justice, not to serve God, but to try to put souls who will not acquiesce to their man-made agenda into perplexity about eternal life. The Pharisees did just the same. Their abuse of law is diabolical, against its very purpose. God bless those who are not intimidated by the Vatican-Pharisees.

A simple view: Leo XIV is acting like an evil Pharisee.

VATICAN CITY, 29 April 2026 — Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández has prepared a declaration of schism should the Society of St. Pius X proceed with episcopal consecrations in Écône on July 1. The Vatican is also making pastoral arrangements to welcome those who may leave the SSPX after it ordains new bishops without papal permission...

@V.R.S. , I’m not sure. But I believe the more pressing question is: What will the cardinals and bishops do? Will they choose to remain in communion with Protestants and other sects, effectively continuing the de facto ‘new church’ that has already taken shape? Or will they finally take action to dismantle this decades-long spectacle—this Circus du Soleil—that has blinded our eyes and poisoned the souls of believers?

V.R.S.

So what will they do? The same as in 1988? Create another Fraternity of the Holy Indult of Extraordinary Aesthetics for Novus Ordo Ordinary Rule?

@Father Karl A Claver Not sure why they would say that. Although there is a substantial presence of Melkites in Lebanon (my former pastor was a Melkite from Lebanon), the majority of Catholics in Lebanon are, and have been for many centuries, Maronite.

John of Capistrano, OFM (Italian: San Giovanni da Capestrano, Hungarian: Kapisztrán János, Polish: Jan Kapistran, Croatian: Ivan Kapistran Serbian: Јован Капистран, Jovan Kapistran; 24 June 1386 – 23 October 1456) was an Italian Franciscan friar and Catholic priest from the town of Capestrano, Abruzzo. Famous as a preacher, theologian, and inquisitor, he earned himself the nickname "the Soldier Saint" when in 1456 at age 70 he led a Crusade against the invading Ottoman Empire at the siege of Belgrade with the Hungarian military commander John Hunyadi.
Elevated to sainthood, he is the patron saint of jurists and military chaplains, as well as the namesake of two Franciscan missions, one in Southern California and the other in San Antonio, Texas.

Χαῖρε Kεχαριτωμένη
HAIL FULL OF GRACE THE LORD IS WITH YOU!
Kecharitomene A name that Full of Grace means
When the archangel Gabriel came down from heaven and the Virgin Maria greeted with these words: “Χαīρε, Kεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.” (Lucas 1.28) that meant: “Hail Full of Grace, the Lord is with you.
There is not just one polite formula used, but the deepest and most personal name werd revealed: Kεχαριτωμένη. This Greek word Kecharitomene, what translates as Full of Grace or "perfect in grace", is not just any description, but Her own identity– a unique name which belongs only to the chosen one by God, and only to Hair from all creatures.
Kecharitomene is not an adjective noun. Kecharitomene is an identity, Maria’s eternal name!
