Churches are good for everything except celebrating the Mass according to the Roman Rite, which Francis' Traditionis Custodes wants to "ban". The latest gag: Bettina Filacanavo, 50, a journalist posing as an "art student", sits for three hours on the altar of St Matthias church in Steinhausen, Switzerland. The church was built in the 17th century. The first session took place on 4 May. It will be repeated on 26 May, with Filacanavo wearing a blue dress with a veil. When she is normal, she works as a spokeswoman for a Protestant aid organisation. The title of the performance, which depicts Our Lady of Mercy (German: Schutzmantelmadonna) who is protecting people, is "Mothers". The idea - to fight against war and rearmament in Europe - would not be bad if it were not mixed with blasphemy and infantile feminist prejudices. To quote: "Mary, who experienced all this suffering - war, flight, loss of her child - stands in my work as a woman of resistance. She stands for all women who resist …More

Sometimes we have ups and downs. Our life is not always in a straight line. There are sometimes curved lines. And we know that we can wander far before a return to the natural base of life offered by God. In society as in the Church, it is similar, their members live ups and downs. King Josiah has had a long journey. He repented. He moved back into his life and he adjusted. He makes a commitment and concludes that it’s good to put his life in God’s hands: “Standing by the column, the king made a covenant before the Lord that they would follow him and observe his ordinances, statutes and decrees with their whole hearts and souls, thus reviving the terms of the covenant which were written in this book. And all the people stood as participants in the covenant.” 2 Kings, chapter 23, verse 3 What a person can manifest by his faith and freely uniting himself to God in his covenant, when he testifies to it, enables others to dare to be in a natural union with him. As a result: “All the people …More

Extract from the SPIRITUAL CATECHISM OF CHRISTIAN PERFECTION, VOLUME I, Composed by RPJJ SURIN, of the Society of Jesus: True Wisdom What is true wisdom? To base his judgment on the common sense of the Saints. What do you mean by the common sense of the Saints? I hear what they commonly think of the maxims of the Gospel, and the ideas they have of perfection. So what are the sources of true wisdom? The Gospel, the Writings of the Saints, their feelings and their conduct, when they all, or almost all, agree to think in the same way in certain points of perfection: for example, on the practice of gentleness, contempt for oneself, and for the virtues of which we spoke in the chapter of the Evangelical Councils. For, although the Saints are very different from each other in relation to their external conduct, they are so similar in the ideas they have of virtue, and in the way of practicing it, that it clearly appears that it is is the same spirit that animates them. This assembly of ideas …More

"Should We Tweak The Atmosphere"? That is the question from New Scientist magazine. From Technology Times: "Study Raises Concerns About Solar Geoengineering’s Unpredictability", which is a gross understatement. Are climate engineering operations already a planetary catastrophe that is growing worse with each passing day? Is the saga of the human race entering the final chapter?

As an adherent to Vatican II and the dismantling of the sacred over the past 60 years - he's been part of the problem. He wouldn't have risen in the ecclesiastical ranks if he hadn't gone along with the agenda. Why don't these hierarchs ever take responsibility for their part in the destruction of the Church?

QUESTION 24 — THE BOOK OF LIFE 1. What is the book of life? 2. Whose life is the book? 3. Can someone be erased from the book of life? Article 1 — What is the book of life? Objection: 1. It appears that the book of life is not the same as predestination. Indeed, it is said in Ecclesiasticus (24, 23): “All this is the book of life. ” The Gloss explains: “That is to say, the New and the Old Testament. ” Now this is not predestination. 2. For S. Augustine, the book of life is “a certain divine force which will cause each person’s good or bad works to be remembered.” But a divine force does not seem to relate to predestination, but rather to the attribute of power. 3. Predestination is opposed by reprobation. So if the book of life were predestination, there would be a book of death just as there is a book of life. On the contrary , on these words of the Psalm (69, 29): “Let them be erased from the book of life”, the Gloss explains: “This book is the knowledge of God, by which he has …More

The world's first invalid deaconess is Harare Angelic Molen. Orthodox Archbishop Serafim of Zimbabwe, who belongs to the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, invalidly "ordained" her on 2 May. Serafim told OrthodoxDeaconess.org: "She will do what the deacon does in the liturgy and all the sacraments in our Orthodox services." Already in 2016, the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and the whole of Africa decided to "allow" women to be "deacons". Molen works at St Nektarios Parish in Harare. She studies geography and "environmental sciences". According to her, "the earth is a sacred (sic) gift from God". She insists that "we must protect it from harm and live in harmony with plants, animals and all living things". Speaking about her fake diaconal ordination, Molen said, "At first I was nervous about entering the altar, but when Metropolitan Serafim blessed me to enter the altar as part of my preparation this week, those feelings went away and I felt comfortable. I am ready". The invalid …More
