The publication of articles regarding the class-action of Vatican Museums employees is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is not an isolated case, but the problem is much bigger. In fact, already two years ago articles had been published regarding (with documents) how the employees of St. Peter's Basilica are treated. There is talk of mobbing, psychological pressure, threats, even exploitation of workers and young university students who serve in St. Peter's Basilica!!! In a place that is sacred and where there should be justice at work, the dignity of workers and their rights... does the opposite happen?!!! "There's something rotten in Denmark..." below are the topics found within the articles and the links to the web pages Who are the friends of the friar covered in the Holy Purple?

Jesus divinely proposes to us: “Be merciful, just as (also) your Father is merciful.” Luke, chapter 6, verse 36 And how can we be merciful and like the Father, when we see that we have difficulty to be patient with ourselves, to be at peace? Once more the answer is the Holy Spirit. Despite our failings and mistakes, the Holy Spirit can go through us to touch the hearts of people. Despite the little in good we think we can achieve, let’s live in peace, and we will obtain more results. With a free and happy heart, may we allow the Spirit of God to pass through our life. Let’s let him transform our heart as well as the hearts of the people we meet. Goodness will increase, since we will let the Holy Spirit fulfill us. Let’s reduce the noise to find peace in hearts. May our life and our heart continue to find their source of peace in God’s Heart. The new American Bible, 2011-2014 Book: Watch with faith, Normand Thomas

MEDITATION FOR THE MONDAY AFTER PENTECOST Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness better than light. (S. John, ch. 3) 1 . Consider that this light which has come into the world is Jesus Christ, true sun of justice, who has enlightened men, not only by the preaching and by the instructions which he gave on earth, and that he left us in the Gospel, but even more particularly by the interior light of his Holy Spirit, which he communicates to us to make us capable of properly conceiving and understanding the supernatural truths that we are obliged to believe by the faith ; and this interior light is the second of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which we call the gift of understanding, because it opens our minds and facilitates our understanding of things which surpass the force of human reasoning. Praise and bless the divine goodness for having thus provided for your weakness, and for having prepared you as a torch to enlighten your mind in the darkness of the mysteries which …More

QUESTION 36 — THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Concerning the Holy Spirit, we will ask ourselves four questions: 1. Is this name of Holy Spirit proper to a divine person? 2. Does the divine person called the Holy Spirit proceed from the Father and the Son? 3. Does it proceed from the Father through the Son? 4. Are the Father and the Son one principle of the Holy Spirit? Article 1 — Is the Holy Spirit the proper name of a divine person? Objections: 1 . No name common to all three people is unique to just one. Now this name “Holy Spirit” is common to all three people. S. Hilary shows in fact that the expression “Spirit of God” can designate the Father, for example in this text: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me” (Is 61:1; Lk 4:18); it can also designate the Son, for example when the Son says (Mt 12:28): “It is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons”, he thus declares that he casts out demons by the power of his own nature; still other times he designates the Holy Spirit: “I will pour …More

On the Vatican’s New Norms for Discerning Apparitions By D. O’Conor The new and long-awaited Vatican document laying out norms for discerning apparitions was released today. It at least appears free of some of the unmitigated disasters I was concerned it might contain (i.e., implications that messages speaking of chastisements must be false). There are, however, some major problems here nevertheless. Here are the norms: Norme del Dicastero per la Dottrina della Fede per procedere nel discernimento di presunti fenomeni soprannaturali Most significantly, there is essentially now no such thing as an approved apparition, and no Bishop may rule on an apparition without the Vatican’s own permission. Like “Traditionis Custodes,” wherein the Vatican moved against the Latin Mass–taking power away from individual Bishops, consolidating it in the Roman Curia, and presenting all sorts of obstacles to the celebration of the beautiful and holy Traditional Mass–this document does similar things to …More

"God is one," Francis preached during his visit to the prison of Verona on 18 May: "Our cultures have taught us to call him by one name, by another name, and to find him in different ways, but he is the same Father for all of us. He is one". Francis is wrong. It was not the "cultures" that revealed God's name, but God himself through his revelation to Moses (Ex 3) and more fully in his Son, Jesus Christ. The theory of "finding God in different ways" contradicts what Jesus Christ says: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (Jn 14:6). Francis also proclaimed the following banality: "All religions, all cultures, look at the one God in different ways." But what matters is not different ways but the right way. Then Francis came up with the trick of giving his blessing to the inmates, but only in silence, "so that everyone can receive it from God in the way they believe [or don't believe]". He began a childish game: "One minute of silence and …More

Seals & Crofts - the soft-rock duo recorded pro-life song called “Unborn Baby”. Listen to the song at this website or on the internet. Lyrics… Oh little baby, you'll never cry, nor will you hear a sweet lullaby. Oh unborn child, if you only knew just what your momma was plannin' to do. You're still a-clingin' to the tree of life, but soon you'll be cut off before you get ripe. Oh unborn child, beginning to grow inside your momma, but you'll never know. Oh tiny bud, that grows in the womb, only to be crushed before you can bloom. Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over. Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over. Stop, turn around, go back think it over. Oh no momma, just let it be. You'll never regret it, just wait and see. Think of all the great ones who gave everything That we might have life here, so please bear the pain. Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over. Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over. Stop, turn around, go back think it over.

Msgr. Carlo Maria Viganò HOSTEM REPELLAS LONGIUS Homily on Whitsunday We implore Thee! O forgiving SPIRIT, now descend again, Aid Thy own in holy living, Aid, also, unknowing men; Come and re-create; revive Dead hearts doubting and in sins; Vanquish and the vanquished give, Divine reward, Thyself who wins. Alessandro Manzoni, La Pentecoste, vv. 89-96 Popular devotion celebrates this solemn day with the name “Easter of Roses” [Pasqua delle rose], recalling the ancient custom of symbolizing the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and on Mary Most Holy with a cascade of rose petals. It is so similar to Easter that on the Eve of Pentecost Holy Baptism was solemnly administered to those who had not been able to be regenerated during the Vigil of Holy Saturday. Just as the Jewish Passover was a prefigurement of the Christian Passover [Pasqua or Easter], so the Jewish Pentecost – in which the promulgation of the Ten Commandments was celebrated seven weeks after the flight from Egypt –…More
