Cardinal Joseph Zen, 94, published today on his blog a short meditation on the readings of the Eucharist: "The first reading (Jeremiah 18:18–20) reminds us that this prophet who ‘feared death yet remained faithful to God’ was not a hero. But he spoke whatever the Lord commanded him. Facing the persecution of the ungrateful people, and court-appointed false prophets, he lamented to God, even complaining at times. Yet in the end he always placed his destiny in God’s hands. The Gospel (Matthew 20:17-28) reveals how the mother of two of the apostles mistakenly believed Jesus would be a worldly ruler, hoping her sons would attain high office and wealth. In fact, at that time no one could understand Jesus’ plan of salvation. Shall we emulate the prophets in proclaiming God's word, or willingly become false prophets for the court - be it the secular or ecclesiastical?" #newsYmrgxzjzru
Abp. Vigano: Müller, Sarah, and Burke constitute a controlled opposition. Their role is to contain the hemorrhage of Catholics caused by the conciliar revolution, deluding the faithful into thinking that it is possible for two opposing entities to coexist. Obedience to the Hierarchy becomes misleading when it deviates from the Truth of Dogma and Tradition. Unity is not primarily institutional but doctrinal
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Feb. 26 announced the Pentagon will conditionally continue to provide support to Scouting America following the youth organization's "commitment to pull all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives from its program." In a video, Hegseth said he had been weighing ending "all support" of Scouting America, the nonprofit formerly called the Boy Scouts of America, after "DEI crept in." Scouting America has signed a memorandum of understanding stating that it will comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump that aimed to bar DEI efforts in the public and private sectors, Hegseth said. Changes include the removal of DEI-focused language from Scouting America's programs and publications, and the elimination of a "citizenship in society" merit badge that required Scouts to "realize the benefits of diversity, equity, inclusion and ethical leadership." A new military service merit badge will be introduced, according to the Pentagon. …
Kelsi Sheren on her substackon March 2, 2026 Jonathan Reggler, a retired Vancouver Island family physician and active MAiD “provider” (Dr who poisons people to death), recently offered a moment of radical honesty in If life is not sacred, then nothing is off the table. The above quote show’s the world who this “Dr” really is.That belief that God doesn’t exist and he can take life just as God can not stop at the elderly. It does not stop at the disabled. It does not stop at the depressed and it will not stop at children.Do you remember when MAiD was sold to Canadians as an act of mercy for the terminally ill. Those already dying, those in unbearable physical pain, those with no alternatives. That frame has collapsed with stunning speed. Lies, all from the start.Track 2 MAiD now includes people whose sole underlying condition is disability, chronic illness, or mental suffering. The safeguards keep loosening. The language keeps softening. What was once “unthinkable” has become “…
Wed Mar 4, 2026 - 10:30 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — Joining me on this episode of The John-Henry Westen Show is Dr. Ed Mazza, a professor of Church history. We discussed his new book Saints vs Antipopes: Evil in the Church of Rome Convicted & Evicted. I opened the episode by noting that many Catholics are asking whether Francis and Leo might be antipopes. I asked Dr. Mazza about the roughly 30 antipopes, or false claimants to the papacy who have existed throughout Church history, and even cases in which saints disagreed as to which claimant was the valid pontiff. The professor highlighted the example of how during the Great Western Schism, St. Catherine of Siena, a great lay mystic, had recognized the true Pope Urban VI, while St. Vincent Ferrer, a great Dominican friar, had recognized antipope Benedict XIII for a period. “In that one special case that lasted for decades, you had St. Catherine of Siena, a deep mystic … espoused to Christ mystically, (who) was an unlettered lay nothing …
The peoples of the Middle East - including the already fragile Christian communities - have once again been plunged into the horror of war including the uncertain outcomes, Cardinal Pietro Parolin told VaticanNews.va on March 4. Regarding the US and Israeli attack on Iran, Cardinal Parolin said: "If states were to be recognised as having the right to 'preventive war' according to their own criteria and without a supranational legal framework, the whole world would risk being set ablaze. This erosion of international law is truly worrying: justice has given way to force; the force of law has been replaced by the law of force, based on the belief that peace can only be achieved by annihilating the enemy." Cardinal Parolin questioned whether anyone truly believed that launching missiles and bombs was the solution. He continued: "A multipolarism marked by the primacy of power and self-referentiality is dangerously taking hold." Vatican Has Not Even Media to Make Any Difference The cardinal …More
Reading by Tim Foley: Drop Site News has a new article out which includes incredibly disturbing witness accounts of the carnage from a double-tap airstrike by the US-Israel alliance on a densely populated part of Tehran. Here’s an excerpt: “We were sitting here around 8:00–8:30 p.m. and suddenly there was the noise and explosion. We got up and a few people ran away. We turned around to get our belongings and we saw that blood was spraying everywhere. Someone’s hand had fallen on the floor, a head had fallen on the floor,” said Shahin, a witness who had been at the cafe and asked to be identified by first name only. “There were scalps torn off, hands severed, a few people were laying here all cut up and two people were martyred.” … “One hit and it wasn’t that bad but when the second one hit, suddenly everything exploded. The windows all shattered. Whoever had hookahs were thrown to the floor,” Shahin said. “One of my friends whom I don’t know that well he was sitting here. His …
Donald Trump's commanders have been accused of telling troops that the war with Iran is part of God's plan for Armageddon. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), a non-profit civil rights watchdog, said it has received 110 complaints from troops since the war broke out on Saturday. The complaints span more than 40 different units across 30 military sites, first reported on veteran journalist Jonathan Larsen's Substack. A non-commissioned officer (NCO) wrote to the MRFF Monday that his combat-unit commander had claimed Trump was 'anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.' 'He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ,' the NCO said. The NCO, anonymized by MRFF, said they were writing on behalf of 15 others, including 11 Christians, a Muslim …
Keep yourself in the state of grace, attend Mass as often as you can, and receive the sacrament of Penance frequently. Then perhaps you will be ready for Armageddon.
Weltweit wird jetzt über die "wahren Gründe" dieses Krieges spekuliert ... Und uralte Prophetien, die sich heute wie "Verschwörungstheorien anzufühlen scheinen, geraten immer deutlicher in den Blick. Hier meldet sich die britische Daily Mail: Trumps Kommandeure fordern Truppen auf, sich auf die Wiederkehr Jesu vorzubereiten, und verkünden erschreckende Prophezeiung zum Weltuntergang "Donald Trumps Kommandeure wurden beschuldigt, den Truppen gesagt zu haben, dass der Krieg mit dem Iran Teil von Gottes Plan für Armageddon sei. Die Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), eine gemeinnützige Bürgerrechtsorganisation, gab an, seit Ausbruch des Krieges am Samstag 110 Beschwerden von Soldaten erhalten zu haben. Die Beschwerden stammen aus mehr als 40 verschiedenen Einheiten an 30 Militärstandorten und wurden erstmals vom erfahrenen Journalisten Jonathan Larsen auf Substack veröffentlicht. Ein Unteroffizier schrieb am Montag an die MRFF, dass sein Kommandeur behauptet …More
Vatican equates Ramadan and Lent in message to … And this is the same apostate schismatic sect that refuses to call the Virgin Mary Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces because they supposedly defend that Christ is the Only Mediator. In 1918, the great Cardinal Mercier of Belgium stated that the First World War was a punishment for the crime of men placing the one true Catholic religion on the same level with false creeds. Cardinal Mercier said, “In the name of the Gospel, and in the light of the Encyclicals of the last four Popes, Gregory XVI, Pius IX, Leo XIII, and Pius X, I do not hesitate to affirm that this indifference to religions which puts on the same level the religion of divine origin and the religions invented by men in order to include them in the same scepticism is the blasphemy which calls down chastisement on society far more than the sins of individuals and families.” The False ‘Jesus’ revered by Muslims is not the same Jesus worshipped by Christians as God
On 1 March, the anti-Catholic Italian association Rete L'Abuso reported that the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith had confirmed that the statute of limitations would apply in the case of Italian priest Valentino Salvoldi of the Diocese of Bergamo. Ordained in 1970, Salvoldi served as a missionary in several African countries and presented himself as a professor of philosophy and moral theology involved in clergy formation. Describing himself as a “beggar of love”, he promoted a spirituality centred on affection, the body, and physical closeness, often positioning himself as critical of what he considered to be a “rigid” Church. He has been accused by at least 21 individuals — all male and including minors at the time — of sexual abuse allegedly committed during youth camps and spiritual retreats between the 1990s and early 2000s. The allegations describe a pattern of prolonged kissing, inappropriate physical contact, sharing beds, and manipulative spiritual practices …More
Seventy church buildings in the Diocese of Roermond are currently in the process of being closed, Bishop Cornelis Van den Hout, 61, of Roermond, Netherlands, told Nd.nl on March 3. In 2026, he employed a full-time economist to oversee the closure of church buildings. "It's an urgent issue. The financial figures leave us with no other option," Bishop Van den Hout said. He believes that the downward spiral will not stop after the closing of the seventy churches. "At the moment, the diocese has 280 church buildings. Around the turn of the century, we had 360. Occasionally, a church would be closed in the previous century, but until 1981, new ones were still being built." Monsignor Van den Hout added that presiding over the Eucharist in a church "requires a certain number of people — not ten people in a church that can hold several hundred". "Given the current financial situation and declining church attendance, it is inevitable that we will designate one centrally located church building …More
Churches have become so far apart that, more and more, only those who can afford a car (or a round-trip Uber) can attend Mass. That leaves out most of the old, disabled, and just plain poor. Of course, one benefit of that is the attendance numbers decline more and the closure of more churches can be justified. It's "Let them eat cake" instead of the Bread of Life for them (they only put a widow's pence in the collection basket, anyway).
New Vatican Synod reports on digital evangelisation and priestly formation suggest significant shifts in how authority, mission and ministry are understood.
On Tuesday, the General Secretariat of the Synod published two final reports from the study groups established for the October 2024 Synod. Study Group Number 3 concerns a comprehensive strategy for Christian mission in the digital age (30 pages). Study Group 4 concerns the reorientation of priestly formation (25 pages). Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod, claimed that these reports are "not just simple bureaucratic cooperation" – and thereby identified the problem. The reports' language is repetitive and employs dense synodal vocabulary, frequently referencing the Final Document of the Synod, Vatican II texts and papal addresses. Vatican Licks Wounds The Group 3 report on missions in the digital environment recognises that the Church must be present in a culture increasingly shaped by algorithms and online communities: "Digital mission must become part of regular Church structures instead of remaining a niche project." The document calls on the Church to treat the …More
A viral video captures the moment an Iranian ballistic missile outmaneuvers multiple interceptors over central Israel, leading to a tragic impact in Beit Shemesh. This Iranian ballistic missile strike on March 1, 2026, marks the deadliest event in the current conflict, claiming nine lives. We analyze the "saturation tactics" used by the IRGC to overwhelm the Arrow-3 and David's Sling systems. Experts from the CSIS Missile Defense Project note that as Iranian ballistic missile technology evolves with high-speed agility, the cost-to-kill ratio for defenders is becoming unsustainable. In this video you will see: 1. Analysis of the "Fattah" maneuverable re-entry vehicle (MaRV) and its terminal agility. 2. Aftermath of the direct hit on the Beit Shemesh synagogue and shelter. 3. Nighttime footage of the "cat-and-mouse" game between the missile and 10+ interceptors. 4. Why saturation warfare is dropping interception rates below 90% in high-volume waves. Expert Insight: Firing 20 interceptors …More
American Catholics deserve moral clarity regarding the ongoing immigration crisis. Unfortunately, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ amicus brief in Trump v Barbara this week failed to give them that. The brief categorised ending birthright citizenship as an immoral attack on human dignity and so reduced a complicated moral and political issue to an incoherent emotional appeal. It also excluded or misinterpreted key Catholic teachings regarding the obligations of citizens, national leaders and immigrants. It was not even written by a Catholic. This half-hearted attempt at virtue-signalling from the USCCB was unpardonable. Not only that, but it damaged the bishops’ credibility at a time when the richness of authentic Catholic teaching, particularly regarding the contentious immigration debate, is needed more than ever. Instead, the USCCB’s brief abandoned faithful American Catholics to their personal consciences on the issue, while demanding a fundamentally anti-Catholic …
