"They expand on this in the body of the article by saying: “The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unprecedented global health crisis, with more than 770 million confirmed cases and over 6.9 million confirmed deaths being reported globally to WHO from 1 January 2020 to 1 September 2023.” While we certainly do not begrudge the WHO for deciding to keep tabs on a disease that potentially claimed 6.9 million lives over the space of 44 months, we take exception to calling it an “unprecedented global health crisis.” The word unprecedented means “never having happened or existed in the past” [2]. We are at a complete loss to see how Covid was a global health crisis, let alone an unprecedented one [3]. To be thorough, we demonstrate that there was nothing unprecedented about Covid by pointing out a few things that happen during every normal 44 month period: 89 billion cases of respiratory infections [4] 2.5 billion people are infected with the norovirus [5] 264 million people die of old age […More

It wasn’t that the west stopped celebrating Easter after Passover. It is that we moved to a far more accurate calendar, that places the equinox back to the date it occupied at the time of Christ, which is to say that the Church sets the date of Passover, and doesn’t care when modern Jews celebrate it. In this sense, we still celebrate after Passover, because Easter must always fall at least one day after the Paschal moon. Should the Paschal moon fall on a Sunday, as I believe it did this year, Easter is pushed to the following Sunday. Most often, Passover still falls during Western Holy Week.

We go and come from different places, but: “Jesus is resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem.” Luke, chapter 9, verse 51 Jesus could have simply followed the road to Jerusalem like many people every day. However, he embarked on the road with a mission, the only mission he had in Heart and in his Head, which is leading us to salvation, in truth. This is what the saints like Therese of Lisieux, Francis of Assisi, Padre Pio and people we know have done. As quickly as possible they reached the highway to holiness. What is the mission that leads us today to holiness, Love in God? The first mission is to make sure we are on the straight path to the Heart of God. If not, where are we heading, to which unknown place? Where are we heading to? Wherever we are going to, let’s go in faith and with the conviction that Jesus is with us. Jesus is with us.

Extract from the “SPIRITUAL CATECHISM OF CHRISTIAN PERFECTION, VOLUME I”, Composed by RPJJ SURIN, of the Society of Jesus: What is simplicity? It is the single gaze of the soul that the Gospel calls the simple eye, which only contemplates God, and which always tends to him by the shortest route. What do you mean by this unique look? I understand what the spiritual Fathers call holy uniformity, which excludes the multiplicity of views and intentions, which is the vice of souls which are not simple. What is the practice of simplicity? It requires, or rather it puts in the soul, three kinds of dispositions. Which is the first? It is a continual attention to reducing everything to one, that is to say, to having only one object in view, and to doing all things by one motive, which is the good pleasure or the holy will of God. The intention of most men does not go as far as God: we obey, because the superior is a man who agrees: we love our neighbor out of sympathy. The spiritual man, on the …More

A friend of LepantoIn.org contacted the Archdiocese of Chicago regarding a blasphemous [pseudo] "blessing" of two lesbians at St Vincent de Paul Parish in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The email criticised a 'public perversion' and was addressed to the archdiocese's Office of Canonical Affairs: 'This is nothing short of a public disgrace and the order of justice demands a firm response not only from your office but from the office of Cardinal Cupich,' the author of the email wrote. The original complaint didn't mention the date of the incident. The response came from Rev. Daniel Andree, the Judical Vicar. He wrote that the email was "the first notice we have received of anything that took place on 22 April". Dutifully, Rev. Andree reported that "I have noted the sources and have begun the process for an appropriate response", and thanked "for informing us, which is often the only way we learn what is happening 'on the street'" - as if diocesan officials don't spend most of their time surfing …More

The challenge of the next conclave is that most of the cardinals do not know each other and not all speak Italian, Cardinal William Goh of Singapore told NcRegister.com (30 April). Cardinal Goh says about himself he is an introvert with a pious childhood ("going to church before class to pray the rosary at the age of 7"). He comes from a "not very religious" family, except for his mother. Francis "is always popular with many of our Catholics [who have no idea of the real state of affairs in Francis' Vatican], and I think he is a beacon of hope, a beacon of mercy and compassion," Cardinal Goh says. He is as critical of the former Synod of Bishops as a submissive Asian can be. He testifies to the oppressive climate during the event: "We could not be as open or direct as you would like to be ... for fear of offending people [= Francis] who have different views". "It takes a lot of courage to say what you have to say and to be open about it," he says. He also speaks about "a subtle pressure …More

QUESTION 23 — PREDESTINATION 1. Is it appropriate to attribute predestination to God? 2. What is predestination, and does it introduce anything real into the predestined? 3. Does the disapproval of certain men come from God? 4. Comparison between predestination and election; can we say that the predestined are chosen? 5. Are merits the cause or reason of predestination, or of reprobation, as well as of election? 6. Certainty of predestination: are the predestined infallibly saved? 7. Is the number of the predestined fixed? 8. Can predestination be aided by the prayers of the saints? Article 1 - Is it appropriate to attribute predestination to God? Objections: 1 . It seems that men are not predestined by God. Indeed, S. John Damascene writes: “You must know that God foresees everything, but does not predetermine everything. He foresees what is in us, but he does not predetermine it. “Now, human merits or demerits are in us, insofar as we are masters of our actions by free will. Therefore …More
