Forming Your Children for Chastity: A Letter to Parents: COMMENTARY: Chastity is the power to love well, body and soul. It is a powerful and beautiful virtue and one of the great goods of life, one that is completely worth the price.
"I asked what the colored edges of these dew eddies portended, and was given as an explanation the example of the mother-of-pearl shells in the sea which also bore edges of shining color; they expose themselves to the sun, absorbing the light and cleansing it of color until the pure white pearls take form in their centers. It was shown to me, too, that this dew and the rain that followed it was something much more than the ordinary refreshing of the earth by moisture. I was given clearly to understand that, without this dew, the coming of the Blessed Virgin would have been delayed by more than a hundred years; whereas, after this softening and blessing of the earth, nourishment and refreshment were imparted to the human beings who lived on the fruits of the soil; the blessing communicated itself to their bodies and ennobled them. This fructifying dew was associated with the coming of the Messiah, for I saw its rays penetrating generation after generation until they reached the substance …More
[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Flamschen, Holy Roman Empire/Dulmen, German Confederation; Mystic; Stigmatist, Writer] “II. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION “2. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN. [Here follow various visions which Catherine Emmerich communicated at different times in the course of her yearly meditations during the octave of the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Though they do not directly continue the story of the Blessed Virgin’s life, yet they throw a remarkable light on the mystery of her election, preparation, and veneration as the vessel of grace. As these visions were related by Catherine Emmerich in the midst of much suffering and many interruptions, it is not surprising if they are somewhat fragmentary in character.] 2.1 THE ANGELS ARE SHOWN THE RESTORATION OF MANKIND. I saw in a wonderful picture that God showed the angels how it was His will to restore mankind after the Fall. At first sight I did not …More
When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished. At the same time, a true Catholic and valid episcopal consecration in the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X is labelled a schismatic act."
Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticised Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s instruction to priests to perform or enable 'blessings' for same-sex couples, calling it "completely irresponsible". Talking to Gloria.tv on 24 April, Monsignor Schneider said that such 'blessings' amount to publicly endorsing a lifestyle contrary to nature, reason and the commandments of God: "To make this almost an obligation is mockery and blasphemy," he said, adding: "It is a grave sin for a cardinal to promote such a thing."

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them. Elena Gorochowa, The Mountain of Crumbs Some attribute this sentence to Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It is difficult to arrive at the truth through it, especially when one wants to describe that truth. We know they’re lying. They know they’re lying. We know that they know we know they’re lying. And yet they keep on lying. Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Who is moved by the “truth” that the President of the United States proclaims on TruthSocial or during exchanges with journalists? The Donald Trump Bridge, which the U.S. president just unveiled on truthsocial.com. The disconnect between reality and narrative clearly made an impression on Orwell, who worried that “the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world.” The theme of falsified history and the destruction of truth would …
On 24 April, Bishop Joseph Strickland posted a comment on X regarding Pope Leo XIV's response to a question on blessings for homosexual couples in the Archdiocese of Munich during the flight from Africa to Rome. Monsignor Strickland called the distinction between 'formal' and 'informal' blessings, as referenced in 'Fiducia Supplicans', confusing because sin cannot be blessed. Likewise, the suggestion that there are 'greater and more important' moral issues than sexual morality must be understood with great care: "The Church has never taught that sins against chastity are of little importance." "Sacred Scripture and the constant teaching of the Church affirm that sexual morality touches deeply on the dignity of the human person, the sanctity of marriage, and the proper ordering of love." Leo XIV had said that there are much greater and more important issues, such as justice, equality, and the freedom of men and women and of religion. Bishop Strickland responded: "The moral law is not …More
"78. ‘I desire also that the holy doctors acquire for themselves much grace, light and glory by their earnest, laudable and sacred study, and that the truth be more and more clearly detected and purified, and be traced to its source. By humbly investigating the mysteries and the admirable works of my right hand, they come to be partakers of them and of the bread of the understanding, the holy Scriptures (Eccli. 15, 3). I have especially shown my Providence in regard to doctors and teachers, although their opinions and doubts have been so diverse and for such different ends. Sometimes, for my greater glory and honor, sometimes for earthly purposes, they are permitted to dispute, and to contradict each other; and there is a great inequality in the manner in which they have proceeded and do proceed to show their emulation and earnestness."

It is not expedient, that the knowledge of all things be given to one man, as long as men are viators. For also in the state of comprehensors, they obtain them in parts and according to the state and the merits of each. But the plenitude of all gifts is due only to the humanity of my Only-begotten and to his Mother in proper proportion. The other mortals receive it neither entirely, nor is it always given so clearly, as to assure them altogether.…More
By far the worst PM in Canada's history is now lecturing the world on good governance. If it weren't real, this would be humorous. Yes, former PM Justin Trudeau recently spoke in Singapore claiming the old international ties are no longer useful for world trade. There is a need to change economic relationships because of the President of the United States Donald Trump. So, Canada is now forced to economically get closer to Europe and China for trade. Trudeau never tells the audience that he was responsible for the cold shoulder Trump has given Canada. Trudeau and now PM Marc Carney have failed miserably to work effectively with Trump. They both have put their personal hurt feelings and serving the WEF ahead of Canada's security and economic prosperity. This is a mark of failed and incompetent political leadership. Whatever feminist, blackface Trudeau charged to give the speech is too much. His inept ideas are not worth a penny. Yes, he talks lot, but in the end he says little of use.…
Oradea, Romania // Armed Romanian gendarmes and police entered a Catholic Church during the celebration of Mass on Tuesday morning, April 14, in Oradea, initiating an eviction enforcement against Abbot Anzelm Fejes, superior of the 900-year-old Norbertine Abbey of Oradea, and seizing parts of the monastic enclosure. The unconstitutional intrusion and criminal seizure of the monastery took place despite the fact that the case remains under judicial appeal and has generated statements of formal legal protection from Romania’s highest state authorities and those of the Norbertine Order in Rome. According to Krónika, the enforcement began shortly after 9:00 a.m., when a judicial bailiff, accompanied by nearly 100 gendarmes and police, entered the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows while Mass was underway, during the time of Holy Communion. The Catholic faithful had formed a line at the entrance. The bailiff proceeded inside despite their presence. The liturgy continued uninterrupted. The …More

Tento kňaz spomína, ako sa matky Terezy spýtal, čo považuje za najväčšie ZLO vo svete. Bez zaváhania mu odpovedala: "PRIJÍMANIE NA RUKU", spomína Perricone. Presvečte sa na vlastné uši vo videu
Fri Apr 17, 2026 - 12:26 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — In a recent interview with Matt Fradd on his podcast Pints With Aquinas, Father John Perricone described how Mother Teresa had once told him that receiving the Holy Eucharist on the hand was the worst evil she had seen in her decades as a religious. During the podcast, which first aired April 13, Perricone recalled having breakfast with Mother Teresa, who had attended his Mass on several occasions, and how he had asked the nun about the most evil thing she had seen in her work with the most vulnerable across the globe. The priest emphasized how, without hesitation, the sainted nun said, “Communion in the hand.” “I remember once I said, ‘Mother, you’ve been in the worst areas, sectors of the world imaginable, and you’ve seen the greatest evils. Tell me, of all the things that you’ve seen, what can you tell me is the worst evil you’ve come across?” he recalled. “I suspected she was going to say abortion or euthanasia, (but) she looked …
