American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame STARLINK DECLARES WAR ON COMETS: from www.spaceweather.com Earlier this year, the number of Starlink satellites in Earth orbit surpassed 10,000. You can see the evidence in the sky: Dan Bush took this picture before sunrise on April 16th from Albany, Missouri. It's supposed to be a picture of Comet PanSTARRS (C/2025 R3), but it contains far more satellites than comets--more than 35 Starlinks in the full-frame photo. "The 'Starlink Zone of Maximum Reflection' appeared right in front of the comet," says Bush. "Stacking 30-second exposures helped alleviate the satellites, but they're still there." Bush's photo is no fluke. In the past year, the number of comet photos criss-crossed by satellites submitted to our gallery has jumped more than 10-fold. The actual counts are certainly greater. Many astrophotographers use software to remove the streaks (e.g., StarXTerminator and Cosmic Clarity), then submit the scrubbed photos without mentioning that …More
youtube.com/shorts/Id7SAebAhFg?cbrd=1&ucbcb=1 The Moral Ecology of the Conjugal Act: The Analogy of the Farmer and the Field To understand the Catholic Church’s teachings on marital intimacy, it is helpful to look through the lens of a vivid, practical framework: the analogy of the farmer and the field. This analogy illustrates the delicate "moral ecology" of the conjugal act, highlighting the theological principles of preparation, mutual reverence, and the inherent dangers of frustration or artificial separation. It is vital to establish from the outset that in this analogy, the "field" is not passive dirt. While the husband is the "farmer" bringing the seed, the wife's body is a living, breathing, and responsive partner. She is an active co-creator. The field actively welcomes the seed and works in synergy with the farmer, making the marital act a mutual giving and receiving rather than a one-way transaction. #### The Approved Path: Honoring the Ecology **1. The Field (The Sacred …More

1 Corinthians 14:34-35; Women should remain silent in the Churches; they are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law also says. If they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in the Church.
St. John Vianney ~~~ To keep our purity, we must be like a soldier in a battle. We must watch our eyes, for it is through the eyes that the enemy enters the heart...
2 Corinthians 11:23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking as if I were out of my mind.) I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.
Padre Pio Saw the One Sin Disguised as a Virtue Padre Pio Saw the One Sin Disguised as a Virtue A respected Italian doctor traveled to San Giovanni Rotondo in 1947 to confess to Padre Pio. He had spent his life helping the sick, donating to the church, and living what everyone around him considered an exemplary Catholic life. He expected absolution in minutes. Instead Padre Pio refused him. Not once. Not twice. Three times over three consecutive days. What had Padre Pio detected in this man that no one else could see?
True, He doesn’t hear those who destroy for the sake of destruction, He never heard the ayatollahs for 46 years waging war against their own people and anyone else, but that is not what the false prophet is implying, no... Leo loves to use the truth for his lie and both becomes a beautiful lie, subtle, powerful and destructive... God hears those who wage war against His enemies. Who are His enemies? Those who use His Name or a resemblence of it to cover for their spiritual manipulation, rape, murders and the destruction of innocence... Nayib Bukele prayed and wage war against the enemy of El Salvador and with God on his side he won, Bukele saved his country..how? By bending his knees. I can tell you one thing for sure... HOPE... The people of Venezuela hopes, the people of Cuba hopes and the majority of Iranians too... I HOPE this ends well for their sake and of America, as the USA has always been brave in favor of the weak who hopes. All our powerful allies ARE socialists (a beautiful …More

War in Iran. Key Developments, April 24: A “Neither Peace Nor War” Stalemate. Iran Holds All the Cards—the U.S. Is Digging Its Own Grave The war in the Middle East has entered a “neither peace nor war” phase, but this is precisely where the U.S. seems to have miscalculated: by maintaining the blockade, they are themselves provoking a rise in oil prices, putting pressure on their own economy, and strengthening Iran’s role as the controller of key routes. Trump’s “unwavering” stance isn’t working; all the trump cards are in Iran’s hands—and the US is digging its own grave. The “neither peace nor war” mode In the Middle East, the conflict between the US and Iran has entered a “neither peace nor war” phase. According to military blogger Yuri Podolyaka’s morning briefing, the situation is as follows: the formal two-week ceasefire announced by Donald Trump on April 8 was supposed to end on the 22nd, but the U.S. president effectively extended it without specifying a concrete timeframe …More
Stop Using the Pope as Your Political Shield: Catholic Social Teachings is Not Your Ideological Playground This post is about an activist student from the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines. She has been arguing certain issues involving the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and then, all of a sudden, she mentioned Pope Francis to support her political views. “Babangon sa hukay si Pope Francis sa mga ginagawa niyo!” Stop dragging the Pope’s name into everything like he’s some kind of political mascot for whatever narrative you’re trying to push. This issue? It’s not about him at all. You don’t get to name-drop the Pope just to give your argument fake moral weight. That’s not how the Church works. Second, let’s get something very clear because a lot of people seem confused or just straight-up ignoring it. The Catholic Church explicitly condemns communism. Not “kind of,” not “depending on the vibe,” but clearly and repeatedly. Look at Pius XI, Pius XII …More
