Purify Your Heart To Find God The gospel reading about Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the resurrected Lord emphasizes the importance of loving God with our whole heart. Mary Magdalene’s unwavering love for Jesus, despite her past, serves as an example for us to seek and love God selflessly. The spiritual life involves purifying our hearts of selfishness and seeking God’s love, even when we feel abandoned or distant from Him. Fr.

In an attempted public relations stunt, Ukrainian soldiers were captured in an attempt to raise the flag over some abandoned buildings in the strategic city of Konstantinovka. The Ukrainian soldiers were captured by the Russian military and forced to drop their flags and raise the flag of the Russian Federation. The failed PR stunt comes at a time when Ukraine is trying to save face after a recent shakeup in its military leadership. Ukraine's Attempted PR Stunt Ends in Embarrassment --- I watch this sort of thing nearly every day. But this was too funny to pass up without posting it.
source: Grand Inquisitor — Inquisition; Substack “Who is Edgar Rimaycuna, the personal secretary and right-hand man of Leo XIV? (Excerpt from the article "Sodom in the Vatican" by Rodrigo Simón Rey, Cope, May 14, 2025) Edgar Rimaycuna is just 36 years old and is already the Pope’s Personal Secretary. He is a Peruvian priest, born in Chiclayo — the diocese where Robert Prevost served as bishop for a decade. It was in Chiclayo that he met Prevost in 2016. Edgar, who at the time was a 16 or 17 year-old seminarian, never left the side of “Father Roberto,” whom he regarded as a spiritual father and, over the years, a friend. The Pope began working with Edgar when he was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo. The Peruvian priest became his trusted right-hand man until 2023, when Prevost was made a cardinal and Pope Francis brought him to the Vatican as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. The words Edgar addressed to him upon his departure say a great deal about their bond: “Thank you very much, …更に表示

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said today that “reports of any deliberation by the judges following the case of Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik are absolutely unfounded.” He said the evaluation is still ongoing and the panel is examining documentation from the dioceses involved, the Jesuits, interested parties, and the press. “During the trial, as with any judicial proceeding, no information regarding ongoing activity can be shared in any way, out of respect for the trial itself and to avoid harming anyone involved.” Bruni added that the canonical criminal proceeding “may provide guidance regarding guilt or innocence in accordance with Canon Law,” while Rupnik remains subject to the civil laws and statutes of limitations of the countries where any crimes were allegedly committed. Meanwhile, Laura Sgrò - the lawyer representing five women accusing Rupnik - said the Vatican process has been almost completely opaque. She told the Associated Press that, as of July 2026, her clients had never been …更に表示
Hunter Biden says a "closeted gay mafia" of Republicans runs Washington Hunter: "There is like this closeted gay mafia, largely Republican, that exists in Washington DC, and everybody knows every single one of them" Hunter: "I know for certain and I'm not kidding now… everybody in DC knows this" Hunter: "The only reason that that is relevant is because I believe that internal conflict creates so much vitrial inside a person that they take it out on the rest of the world" Hunter: "For Lindsey Graham, like everybody knows that Lindsey Graham was gay, right?"
Perhaps more accurately - there is a cabal of snake oil salesmen, hustlers, and grifters, both sides of the aisle, in Washington, just like him. A smidgen of truth swimming in a large vat of con. Anything for a buck. I guess the painting scam didn't pan out.
– Folha de S. Paulo, September 13, 1983 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira FRANCE, first-born daughter of the Church, was brilliant down through the centuries in the acts of its illustrious children in favor of the preservation and expansion of the Mystical Body of Christ. It is precisely in France that the “New Sunday Missal — 1983” is circulating widely and with impunity. The work, carrying the Imprimatur (6/26/82) of Msgr. R. Boudon, Bishop of Mende and President of the French Language Liturgical Commission, has not been condemned so far. Its pages thus continue to intoxicate countless French-speaking faithful seeking there the invaluable inspiration of liturgical texts that conform to the perennial teaching of the Church, but also finding texts profoundly discrepant from the Catholic spirit. Here I will limit myself to comment on three characteristic topics of the Nouveau Missel. At the end of the Mass for Sunday, March 13, page 139, the “New Missal” says this of… Marx! Yes, you are …更に表示
No doubt the perpetrators and facilitators of this tripe were excommunicated. (No?! You'd have to be an unofficial bishop who follows the teachings of the Church pre-Vat 2 to warrant that.) If there is 'schism' in the air, it is being fueled by both sides of this debacle. The Church must get its act together.
As the State of New York prepares to implement, on August 5 next, its new law on "medical aid in dying," four Catholic religious congregations, joined by Bishop John Barres of Rockville Centre, have filed a lawsuit in federal court
