Truth Without Charity Destroys Christian Witness The Gospel reading warns against the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, who preached well but lacked charity and used their knowledge to condemn others. True faith requires balancing truth with charity, avoiding judgment, and fearing only God, who holds the power of eternal life. We should be ready to die for our faith, focusing on loving and serving God, rather than fearing earthly threats. Fr.

Cardinal at Wrong Microphone: A lighthearted moment opened the Extraordinary Consistory as Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals, walked toward the wrong microphone. Smiling, Pope Leo XIV quipped, "In front of everyone, Your Eminence!" before the 92-year-old Cardinal crossed the hall to the correct microphone and delivered his address.
1960 peace movement all that is missing is cannabis. Horizontal church who believes miracle of fish and loafs was everybody sharing what they have . Thanks JPII you let seminaries teach this crap while persecuting SSPX
Before the hepatitis B vaccine was mandated for kids to attend school in almost all 50 states, the risk of a baby dying from hepatitis B was 1 in 7 million. “That means you need to give 7 MILLION hepatitis B vaccines to prevent ONE death,” RFK Jr. says.
Everyone has been revealing their true intentions. I read and heard that they are still planning to replace Putin with one of their globalist puppets. And rubio the rat finally admitting they are on the side of Ukraine. Making it well known that's where their loyalty lies all along. I see as GOD opening the eyes of Putin. He clings to hope and "EVERYONE" getting along. A nice dream, but time to wake up! Our Lord is telling them by revealing the true plans of the West and US. It's better late than never they finally admit they are one country against 56 who need Russia gone to bring about the one world order without Russia fighting against it. Besides, it's Russia they have always wanted more than others.

@yuca2111 As usual in la la land. Russians liberated those places In Ukraine who VOTED in a legal referendum to become part of RUSSIA ONCE AGAIN! And of course it's true. The rat rubio said it at the summit. Where do you live? Under a rock? In a cave? Everyone has heard him say it so far. And we made sure to it that they did! This is because you see and hear the truth and immediately deny it every time! Ukraine will set off the nuke? Wow! No, Europe will. If Ukraine does it, the world already knows Ukraine doesn't have nor know how, nor have what it takes to build one. So of course it will come from Europe. They "might" just give them one to set off. But i doubt they will. But who knows. Maybe trying to protect themselves so Russia can wipe out Ukraine? Doesn't matter, we were already warned most of Europe will be devastated and countries will no longer exist. IT IS WHAT RUSSIA IS MEANT TO DO! And she will do an awesome job of it because GOD made sure to it. Always ready to blame Russia …More
The consistory that began today "feels like it was organized by a Human Resources department," one curial cardinal told the Substack.com-Account 'The Pillar' on June 26. The report relies entirely on anonymous sources. "It's all too tightly controlled. It doesn't feel like there's freedom to discuss the issues we need to discuss. Instead, we're being led by very specific questions on very specific issues in very small groups, without space for open discussion," the cardinal said. A second cardinal expressed uncertainty about the consistory's agenda: "These are surely very important societal issues and challenges, but I am not sure what we are supposed to add to the discussion beyond talking about personal experiences." He added: "I don't know what the Holy Father expects of this consistory, if I'm being honest." "There's too much control over the topics, and too much dispersion. Consistories usually focused on a single topic. How are you supposed to have a substantive discussion in a …More
A monk from the traditional Benedictine monastery of Notre-Dame de Bellaigue in Virlet, central France, has disappeared without a trace. The monk was reported missing on Wednesday morning, prompting a major search operation by the French Gendarmerie. Ground teams and aerial units have searched the area around the remote monastery, but after two days no trace of the missing religious has been found. The search for the missing monk is ongoing. Authorities have not disclosed the circumstances of the disappearance, and investigators have not indicated whether they suspect an accident, a voluntary departure, or criminal involvement. According to LaMontagne.fr, two monks cautiously suggested that the missing brother may not have left the monastery of his own accord. Notre-Dame de Bellaigue is an independent Benedictine monastery that celebrates the Mass in the Roman Rite. It maintained close ties with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) until 2019. Since then, the monastery has …More
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; born: Uppland, Sweden/died: Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 59 ~ The words of Christ, in the presence of the bride, about how Christ is likened to a peasant, good priests to a good shepherd, bad priests to a bad shepherd, and good Christians to a wife. Many useful things are also explained in this parable. “I am the one who never said anything false. The world considers me to be a peasant whose name seems contemptible. My words are counted as foolish and my house is considered a despicable shed. This peasant had a wife who wanted nothing other than what he wanted, who owned everything with him and had him as her master, obeying him in all things as her master. This peasant also had many sheep, and he hired a shepherd to watch over them for five gold coins and for the necessities of his bodily needs. Since this was a good shepherd, he used the gold to his …More

Fri Jun 26, 2026 - 12:11 pm EDTFri Jun 26, 2026 - 5:00 pm EDT Editor’s note: This is Part 2 of a two-part essay. Please read Part 1 here first. (LifeSiteNews) — Part I of the Synod report on priestly formation, titled “Ecclesiological-Pastoral Preamble,” speaks of the need to restructure and broaden seminary formation to include not only education in theological studies and helping men live a celibate life, but also to become effective workers in a “synodal church” which strives for “flourishing interpersonal relationships,” a church that will be “more participatory and missionary so that it can walk with every man and woman” (quoting FD no. 28).[1] Ordained ministry must be “redefined” and be viewed as “in and from” the People of God; and priests must “open themselves to a synodal style” and foster interpersonal relationships by being “welcoming and listening to all” (cf. FD no. 72).[2] This necessitates that the “structure of priestly formation” be “recalibrate[ed] … …
Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim held a call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on 23 June, the Palestinian resistance group announced in an official statement. “Araghchi expressed his gratitude for the call and for Hamas’s supportive position, affirming that the Islamic Republic will continue supporting the Palestinian people and their just cause until the full realization of their legitimate national rights,” the statement said. It added that Araghchi told the resistance movement that “Iranian leadership, represented by the negotiating delegation, continues to raise the issue of the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza, the occupation’s continuing violations, and what he describes as ongoing genocide.” According to the Hamas statement, Araghchi affirmed that Iran was pushing for an end to genocide “in all international forums” as well as in “current negotiations.” He also renewed the call for serious international action “to protect the Palestinian people and compel …
One has to wonder what is it with Jews genociding the Palestinians. I have not heard one peep from Bobby Prevost or hs minions on this horrific matter.
Parody Jeff @Parodyjeffx THIS IS SICK Israelis are setting up outdoor screens to stream and cheer as entire Lebanese towns are wiped to rubble by the IDF. These are ordinary civilians, not soldiers or officials, gathering to applaud destruction and death.
You are of your father the devil, and the "desires" of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. But if I say the truth, you believe me not. --- People who make cheap excuses for such people are just as sad and pathetic as they are. Any person with an ounce of brain can see what they believe is evil and wrong. But they will believe it because that is what they wish (DESIRE) to believe. It's their nature to be drawn to sick and evil things. It's what they prefer. They read the talmud more than what they call their holy book. If they read it at all. That says a lot right there. Cheap excuses for the people they just can't seem to condemn and to admit they love what they do and believe in. Their god is the devil. It's all about money, power, death and destruction.
Having accepted in 2025 bishops appointed unilaterally by China, Leo XIV should not threaten the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) with excommunication for similar actions, writes Rev Matthew Dimock, a diocesan priest of the Diocese of Charlotte on OnePeterFive.com on June 25. Rev. Dimock is NOT a defender of the FSSPX. His argument is that justice requires the Church to enforce its laws consistently, rather than making exceptions based on diplomatic or political considerations. In late April 2025, during the period between the death of Francis and the election of a new pope, the Chinese Communist Party announced the election of two bishops, an Auxiliary Bishop of Shanghai and the Bishop of Xinxiang. Shanghai already had two bishops and one auxiliary bishop. Xinxiang already had a bishop. Normally, the Vatican publicly announces bishops before their episcopal consecrations, but in these cases the announcements came only on the day of the consecration. Rev. Dimock argues that …More
As an example of how Catholic clergy were/are treated in China, the UCA (Catholic News agency in Asia) reported in 2007: “In the days before the patriotic congress, Catholic clergy in Hebei province – were pressured by the government to attend the congress." Bishop Li disappeared after the army forced him to illicitly ordain a bishop. People believed Li was embarrassed to show his face to the faithful for what happened and hid himself in the Cathedral in Cangzhou. After a few weeks, police officers and other people went to the cathedral and gave the resident priests there an “ultimatum” to hand over the bishop, UCA News reported. The diocesan Vicar General, Chancellor and two other priests who work at Bishop Li’s house were taken away, detained, and questioned for information on the bishop’s whereabouts. They were warned that if the bishop could not be found, his family and the diocese would face trouble. The officials questioned everybody in the house, including the doorkeepers and …More
Il Giovane February 24, 2026 […] There are numerous examples we could present today that would make some of our current opinions on the matter inside the Catholic Church, let’s say, awkward. So do not assume the following is an outlier or even an exception to the pattern. This is what Christ taught would happen, going all the way back, by example, to the very choosing of his apostles. St Catherine of Siena (1347–80), who is known for never hesitating to rebuke high-ranking clergymen and even the pope, threw her delicate but fiery weight behind Pope Urban VI. Seemingly contrary to her John the Baptist spirit, she once whispered: “Always obey the pastor of the Church, for he is the guide whom Christ has appointed to lead souls to Him.” Such a quote from one of Catholicism’s greatest models—ignoring her numerous rebukes—undoubtedly provides the finishing touch for one tribe of Catholics in the current argument trending this week. See? the quote seems to say. Obey. Case closed. The …More
