Unlocking Catholic Social Teaching: Dr. Martinez Introduces the Ave Maria Economics Course "God did not call us from the eyebrows down—He wants us to use our brains." Dr. Gabriel Martinez joins us to shatter the myth of the 'divided life' in business and economics. Every financial, corporate, or political decision we make isn't just a technical choice—it's a deeply human, moral decision. Dr. Gabriel Martinez, economics professor at Ave Maria University, steps into the living room to introduce a groundbreaking, completely free online resource: the Ave Maria Economics Course, hosted by The Pursuit of Wisdom. Condensing three full semesters of dense academic material into seven clear, highly accessible lectures, Dr. Martinez bridges the gap between modern market principles and the foundational pillars of Catholic Social Teaching. He unpacks why popular political ideologies often distort Church teaching by overemphasizing one truth (like human dignity or solidarity) while completely abandoning …More
Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Saint Maria Goretti is a role model of the Church’s zeal in defense of purity and that unique bravery purity imbues. The Church has always instilled this bravery in defense of virtue. In the midst of today’s moral decay, the Holy, Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church presents Saint Maria Goretti as a model in the fight against immorality. She is diametrically opposed to every tendency in our contemporary world. Saint Maria Goretti invites us to be faithful to the traditional doctrine of the Church. She is a role model of the Church’s zeal in defense of purity and that unique bravery purity imbues. The Church has always instilled this bravery in defense of virtue. That is why a faithful Catholic should prefer death to losing his purity. Much has been said about a truly Christian social order. There can be no true social order without the family and there can be no true family without purity whose very name fills men with human respect and whose practice must be …More

The Book of Hosea Chapter 2, A Marriage Restored, Catholic Bible Study Book of Hosea 2,16.17b-18.21-22. Thus says the LORD: I will allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak to her heart. She shall respond there as in the days of her youth, when she came up from the land of Egypt. On that day, says the LORD, She shall call me “My husband,” and never again “My baal.” I will espouse you to me forever: I will espouse you in right and in justice, in love and in mercy; I will espouse you in fidelity, and you shall know the LORD.

Benedict XVI's Secretary Abp. Georg Gänswein: "The hardliners prevailed in the SSPX. But Rome should display flexibility on the Latin Mass: Francis made a mistake on Traditionis Custodes, a wrong decision that must be corrected"
On 2 July, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Nuncio to the Baltic States, spoke to Corriere.it about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X and the Mass in the Roman rite. Key quotes, slightly shortened - The FSSPX has become even more hardline. It's unbelievable - truly sad. - Their understanding of tradition is not tradition. They freeze Catholic tradition at Pius XII. After that, they see nothing but errors. - Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications of the four bishops as a father seeking peace. It was an outstretched hand they refused. The radical faction prevailed—they rejected reconciliation then and still do. - They are like the Protestants of five centuries ago. Cardinal Müller is right. - I am very disappointed. Grace can do anything over time, but for now I see even greater distance and deeper hardening than before. "Leo XIV Should Allow the Traditional Roman Mass" - There are faithful who celebrate the Latin rite—for example, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter—and they do …More

[EN/DE] SHOCKING CLASH: Donald Trump CALLS POPE LEO XIV “AN INSULT TO JESUS” — THE POPE’S RESPONSE STUNS THE WORLD Donald Trump believed he could score easy political points by calling Pope Leo XIV “an insult to Jesus,” after the spiritual leader once again spoke out in defense of peace, compassion, and human dignity. However, he was challenging a voice rooted not in politics, but in moral authority. See more: wornpages.blog/…ng-response-vtien123456-team-apex… Standing before a solemn gathering at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV did not respond with anger. Instead, he delivered a powerful and deeply moving message grounded in faith, responsibility, and truth. “The President of the United States has said that I insult Jesus,” Pope Leo XIV began, his voice calm yet firm. “But let us reflect honestly — what truly insults the teachings of Christ?” Then, with quiet intensity, he answered: “You want to know what truly insults Jesus? It is when we turn away from those who suffer, when we close …More
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9,18-26. While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, "My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live." Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured." Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, "Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you." And from that hour the woman was cured. When Jesus arrived at the official's house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, he said, "Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping." And they ridiculed him. When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And news of this spread throughout all that land.

Protocol numbers are how Vatican departments organize their filing; a letter or submission is assigned a protocol number so that all the relevant documents are kept together in the right file. “Prot. No. 99/2009” is not a new file from 2026, but a file from 2009, specifically from Pope Benedict XVI’s lifting of the excommunications incurred in 1988.
An act of disobedience (not schism) compelled by priestly and episcopal moral conscience and duty, and the spiritual needs of 700,000 faithful Catholics in their care, while begging for the assistance and collaboration of the Holy See -- which was refused to their sincere pleas -- does not constitute a failure to be subject to the Roman Pontiff, nor of schism. Even Father Gerald Murray, a well-known Canon Lawyer who opposed the Consecrations says as much. You will find his commentary elsewhere on Gloria.TV

July 2026: The "Fiery" Red Sky & Day-time Fireball If you noticed an eerie, intense glow or strange flashes over the July 4th weekend, it was a mix of intense weather and celestial events: The "Apocalyptic" Sunset: A powerful summer thunderstorm broke right at sunset, combining atmospheric light scattering with lingering smoke from Fourth of July fireworks. This turned the entire city sky a dramatic, fiery red and neon orange. [1, 2] Constant "Strobe" Lightning: The storm produced relentless intra-cloud lightning. This made the clouds flash rapidly like a giant strobe light without making immediate loud thunder rumbles. Daytime Fireball: Separately, on July 5, 2026, the American Meteor Society tracked a rare, incredibly bright daytime fireball meteor streaking across New York, New Jersey, and neighboring states.
