Selected quotes from the book A Wider View of the Second Vatican Council by Archimandrite Boniface Luykx. Republished in English by Angelico Press, Brooklyn, NY, 2025. Archimandrite Boniface Luykx (1915–2004) was a Belgian Premonstratensian canon regular, professor, and liturgical scholar. In the 1940s and 1950s he was among the leading figures of the Catholic liturgical movement and taught for many years at the University of Notre Dame’s Summer School of Liturgy. From 1960 to 1971 he served as a missionary in Africa, where he founded the Monastère de l’Assomption and taught at Lovanium University in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). Beginning in 1959, he was a member of the Preparatory Commission for the Liturgy and later served as a liturgical consultant and expert (peritus) at the Second Vatican Council, as well as one of the authors of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium). After the Council, he became a member of the Consilium …མང་བ།
This Time Is Different The world is racing toward energy collapse and global depression. But this time, the rules have changed: no victory gardens. No resilience. Just digital IDs, CBDC, rationing, and engineered dependence. This time is different. A sober, big-picture look at the long-planned collapse into the Great Reset -- and why growing your own food is more important now than ever.
Tonight at Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV responded to the criticism he has received from Donald Trump: "From the first moment, I have spoken of peace. The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel and to promote peace. If anyone wants to criticise me for doing so, they should do so truthfully. The Church has spoken out against nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that."
Leo's brief comments to the press this evening -- “I have already spoken from the first moment ‘peace be with you.’ The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wants to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully. The Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that”
From DA: "I am a practicing catholic. And I need to say something that's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, hundreds of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned to the ground, pastors kidnapped and killed. Communities that have practiced their faith for centuries are being wiped out. Pope Leo XIV has said almost nothing. NO named condemnations, NO emergency visits, NO breaking of protocol, just quiet platitudes about dialogue and peace - directed at nobody in particular. BUT the week Trump escalated the Iran war? Leo flew across continents, gave media interviews, posted viral messages and had three Cardinals appear on 60 minutes in what felt like a coordinated response. Bishop Strickland was removed for defending the Church doctrine. Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico was removed for defending religious exemptions that the cathechism itself supports. During Covid, goverments padlocked churches across …མང་བ།
Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …མང་བ།
Natalia took the abortion pill which killed her baby & left her broken. "I passed my baby into the toilet, flushed it, and then I just laid in my bed bleeding through the mattress" The Trump FDA should immediately ban this deadly drug designed to kill our youngest Americans.
People, especially women, tend to lose sight of the original purpose of sexual intercourse—procreation—because of the pleasure it brings. If they do not use contraception, life continues to follow the natural order. The choice (to keep the baby or not) is an artificial and anti-life decision, and many people bear the consequences of this choice for the rest of their lives.
On 29 April, the Canadian homosexual activist Jake Tucker, 39, was found guilty of multiple sex-trafficking and assault-related charges following a trial in Barrie, Ontario. Tucker is in a homosexual "marriage" and produced/bought a baby girl via surrogacy. In the past, he has organised homosexual events, drag nights, flag raising, and other local activist initiatives. According to prosecutors, Tucker recruited, controlled and exploited two women for several years, arranging their prostitution and taking a share of the profits. He also used coercion, violence and drugs to maintain control. The case began in 2022, when a woman reported to the police that Tucker had trafficked her for years. Investigators later identified a second alleged victim who made similar claims. After the verdict, Tucker denied the allegations and said he plans to appeal, arguing that the women were lying and that the police investigation was flawed. He is expected to return to court for sentencing and could face …མང་བ།

Matthew 11:15 Douay-Rheims Bible He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Bless are the one who listen and be prepare in Spirit and in Truth.... Credits of the Website: at the end of the Message: Jesus spoke to Christina on 22 September 2017; Part2: He said, My people, I want you to see the might of My Hand. How you still find fault with My messenger and fail to respond to My call. Your hearts are closed to Me. Many of you, My people, respond only to try and find fault with My words and through your closed hearts and sinful ways, you draw My Hand upon your world even more swiftly. Your sin multiplies, your arrogance grows as you dissect My words to My messenger who endures much for your sake. How so many of you cling to your money and goods as if it were I you were clinging to. Your worldly goods will be of no value to gain your inheritance of Eternal Life. I plead with you, look into your hearts, what do you see there? - the world's thirst through your flesh. I am denied in My Church …མང་བ།
