Pope Leo XIV today accepted the resignation of conservative Archbishop Samuel Aquila, 75, from Denver and appointed James R. Golka, 59, as his successor. Monsignor Golka was appointed bishop of Colorado Springs by Pope Francis in April 2021. In June 2025, El País described Golka as having “similar ideological leanings as Pope Francis.” When Golka became Bishop in Colorado Springs, the Peruvian priest Ricardo Coronado-Arrascue was serving as judicial vicar and chancellor of this diocese. A Peruvian Canon Lawyer with Ties to Prevost Coronado is a former Peruvian Augustinian friar who left the order in 2001 to become a diocesan priest. He knows Robert Prevost well, and the two have had tensions in the past according to CruxNow.com. In May 2022, Coronado resigned his offices in Colorado Springs, and a settlement agreement was signed between him and the diocese. The Making of a Disobedience Case In June 2023, the diocese Colorado Springs stated publicly that it had received “accusations” …More
Three hundred and fifty years ago, on February 7, 1676, the Servant of God Mekhitar was born—described by Pope Paul VI as “the glory of the Armenian Church, a maker of unity and peace.”[1] As the founder of one of the most luminous spiritual and cultural revivals in Armenian history, Mekhitar left an indelible mark on the faith of his people. Born in Sebaste, in Lesser Armenia (present-day Sivas, in Anatolia), Mekhitar was educated from an early age in detachment from worldly possessions. “Encouraged by the Madonna of the monastery of Sevan, he joyfully answered the divine call, destined for an apostolic ministry and as a witness on the arduous path toward Church unity.”[2] He entered the monastery of Surp Nshan (Holy Cross), where he embraced the monastic life and took the name Mekhitar, meaning “Comforter” in Armenian. Ordained a priest in 1696, he was animated by a fervent desire for religious and cultural renewal. In 1700, he founded in Constantinople the congregation that …More
["Grace," photograph by Eric Enstrom] Theologians tell us that Satan and his demons fell due to pride and envy-- God would become a man and not an angel. Thus, humans will have something that the angels would not. Despite being dazzlingly beautiful and powerful, Satan wanted more. As perhaps the highest of angels, he felt entitled. And legions of demons followed him. I was in an exorcism and demanding the demons to leave. After the person renewed baptismal promises and rejected Satan, I said to the demons: "In Jesus' name, do you have any authority over this person? Tell the truth." The demons snarled their response: "No." "Does she want you to be here?" I demanded. Again, their snarling response: "No." "Do you any right to be here?" I demanded again. "No," they snarled. "You are a thief and a robber," I responded, quoting John 10:8, "In Jesus name I command you to leave." Of course they did not leave voluntarily and eventually had to be forced to leave by the power of Christ. Satan and …
Former Norbertine brother James Joseph Owens, 68, in New Mexico has been indicted for allegedly stealing more than $2 million from his religious community. He had served as treasurer and oversaw a construction project. He was arrested on 23 January and charged with eight counts of wire fraud, 23 counts of engaging in monetary transactions involving property derived from unlawful activity, and one count of tax evasion. Prosecutors allege that Owens stole the funds while managing the finances of the Norbertine Community of Santa María de la Vid Abbey. Court documents state that he joined the community in 2009 and was appointed treasurer in 2016.

He then used this money for personal investments and to purchase a home near Albuquerque. He is also accused of filing a fraudulent 2022 tax return by failing to report income from the …More

Thanks to this technology, it is possible to bypass website blocking for certain countries, in addition to providing a certain degree of anonymity.

"May every human entity realize from now on, once and for all, that it is and exists in this world to live, for eternity, in the Holiness of God Himself. In the Holiness desired for all of us, which is that of God, one and triune. The Holiness of Christ and of His Most Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, are for each of us, their beloved children. We are called to this Holiness. Destined to live it here below and in Heaven, for eternity. Invited also to know Science and through it the universe and all that is. Invited to practice the crafts, to exercise the creative and useful work of the artisan, to create works that please God and beautify the Earth. We are here for God, to dedicate our lives to Him. To give Him everything, our work, our families, our homelands, so that He may bless them and keep them forever. Even today, the urgency of this return to God and his divine anthropology is great. Because the time has come. Because the times are fulfilled. Those offered to us to convert …More
For those who can't access RT. I copied and pasted the article here. Russiagate 2.0: The West has rolled out a disgraced asset on Epstein The usual suspects are desperately trying to frame the Israel-linked pedophile with Russia While everyone is scouring over the millions of newly released Epstein documents, which continue to expose the disgusting depths of depravity among Western elites, a familiar discredited voice has surfaced with a convenient alternative tale: blame Russia. Where did the “blame Russia for Epstein” conspiracy come from? The conspiracy, first pushed in London by the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, and later in the day by the New York Post, began claiming that Epstein, the proudly Jewish, pedophile financier, was somehow linked to Russia. Former BBC host Andrew Marr delivered an 11 minute sermon to his listeners on LBC radio on the same theme. No sense of coordination here at all, obviously. Next in line, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a figure whose …More
And to think that those in charge are making huge profits from the war. All done with the suffering and deaths of the poor people. Trump during the election said he could end the wars in Ukraine abs Gaza. He lied. He’s one of them.
Prevost and his cardinals and bishops need to unite and condemn Zionist genocide in Palestine. They should be hammering this point frequently and insisting that it stop NOW. Prevost should meet with Trump and EU to condemn this genocide. He won't because all he cares about is Synodality and welcoming perverts into the Church.
Every Texan knows this story: Long before we knew about politics, before we knew the arguments, before we knew how to quibble over details, we were taught something in school that shaped our bones. At the Alamo, there came a moment when there were no more letters to send, no reinforcements coming, no negotiations left to try. The enemy was at the gates. Surrender had been demanded. And everyone knew what surrender would mean. So the commander – William Barrett Travis – gathered his men – not to inspire them, not to give a pep talk, but to tell them the truth. He drew a line in the dirt. On one side of that line was safety – at least for the moment. On the other side was almost certain death. And he said, in effect: “Choose.” Only one man stepped back. The rest stepped forward. That line in the sand was not drawn to start a rebellion. It was drawn to end illusions. Crossing it did not guarantee victory – it guaranteed fidelity. And whether we like it or not, that is where the Church …More
“There has been a confusion in the Church with regard to moral questions”, Cardinal Raymond Burke told the Substack.com-Account Per Mariam on February 5. “There are questions of intrinsic evils, for instance the killing of an innocent, defenseless human life is always and everywhere wrong. It’s intrinsically evil.” Regarding the million babies killed in the womb every year in the USA, Cardinal Burke said that it is “really infanticide”. About Euthanasia and the denial of nutrition and hydration to patients, Cardinal Burke said: “The Church has first of all, to announce clearly her teaching and not in any way give the impression that She’s unsure about what should happen in these cases, but at the same time to support those members of the faithful who are trying to establish Catholic medical schools, truly Catholic hospitals.” On contraception, he said that it is “an attack on marriage“: “The true meaning of our human sexuality is that it’s not for lust, but it’s for love.” Cardinal …More
Nice words, but....This would have sufficed back in 2013 or 2014. 12 years later and tens of millions of souls lost, this kind of response is just a sad reminder of the current state of the affairs among those who wear blood-red cardinal hats.
