First video was recently said. Once again he is letting everyone know. The advancement of troops will go his way. Not rushed. With all the pressure he gets from everyone, he will not budge. His first priority is to save lives. This man is brilliant and he is very humble. Such a difference between him and trump. Both video's are English voice over. «Вот раскрою секрет»: Путин озвучил фразу, которую ему шепнули в Кремле #путин #путинlive This second one I just posted the other day. It was taken in 1999 when he was PM to Yeltsin. And even then he cared nothing about his position but what must be the right thing to do. «Родина-мать зовёт»: Путин о готовности жертвовать карьерой ради страны To think there are some who try to make others hate him with their propaganda and rewritten history. It will never happen in a million years for me and most of the world who know and love this man. Putin has said, he will never change what he feels is the right thing to do. Even if it means he has to step …More
When he was in the KGB he found that they were planning a coup to replace the President. He said, oh! no, that's not for me. He said, anyone that the people voted for he will not have a thing to do with replacing. He will accept the people's choice. He left and went into politics and he turned to Orthodoxy.
– Folha de S. Paulo, January 8, 1983 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira In the December 26 issue of Folha de S. Paulo, a particular news item gave me a sense of delight that was both exquisite and rare. In fact, I found myself agreeing with the views of some of the country’s most prominent church figures regarding the legalization of the Communist Party: Cardinals Aloísio Lorscheider and Eugênio Sales; CNBB president Ivo Lorscheiter, and the new archbishop of Porto Alegre, Cláudio Colling. That same report also once again demonstrated the consistency of my archbishop, Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns. Today, consistency is such a rare quality that it becomes all the more admirable when observed. One can see in Cardinal Arns’ consistency the influence of his serious university studies in Rome and Paris. But this life is a valley of tears, as St. Bernard of Clairvaux once said. So, it’s no surprise that there’s another side to all this. Readers are well aware that I strongly support the prelates …More
THE PARADOX OF FALSE PROPHET BERGOGLIO/PREVOST: if he pauses his scandals for just a week or two, Catholics forget who he is and start behaving like he is the Pope.
2 Thessalonians 2: 10 And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: 11 That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity. 12 But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit, and faith of the truth: 13 Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 14 Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle. 15 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope in grace, 16 Exhort your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word. Apocalypse 13: 11 And I saw another beast coming …More

The Vatican has published new guidelines today, "Recollecting: Accompanying the Preparation of the Local Church's Evaluation Assembly," for the next stage of the Synod on Synodality. Every diocese is required to hold evaluation assemblies during the first half of 2027 to assess how the Synod's Final Document has been implemented. Bishops will lead the evaluation, establish or reactivate synodal teams, and approve a six- to eight-page narrative report to be submitted to Rome. They are also instructed to describe "transformations in decision-making processes, and reforms of structures" as part of their narrative report. Interreligious synodality Each diocese will also hold an evaluation assembly using the method of "conversation in the Spirit." The guidelines state that dioceses should consider inviting "representatives of other Christian Churches and communities or other religions as observers." Lay access to "leadership roles" The document repeatedly says synodality is not a temporary …More
“Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.” Matt 19:13-15 “ Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.” Mark 10:13-16 “Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to …More
Tuesday, 29th July 1913 Factory Girls Eager to Testify for Frank, The Atlanta Journal July 29th, 1913 Thirty Girls and Men Are Waiting to Appear as Character Witnesses. Thirty girls and men who are employes of the National Pencil factory are waiting to testify to the good character of Leo M. Frank. "Ever girl employed at the factory believes that Mr. Frank is innocent," said Miss Rebekah Carson Monday afternoon. "He was as kind as an employer could be. There never was a time when he wasn't considerate of every one employed at the factory. But at the same time he was a man with two ideas. And they were his wife and his business. "If he hadn't been so intent upon his work, he would have taken a half holiday on that Saturday and he wouldn't now be accused as he is. It was his faithfulness to his work which caused him to accused of this murder. "He's not guilty. I'd still believe in his innocence even though he was convicted ten times over. "Everyone employed at the factory believes as I do …More
Around 500 nude volunteers gathered outside the Cathedral of Santa Ana in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, on Sunday for a photographic installation by American artist Spencer Tunick as part of the Culture & Business Pride festival. Participants, painted in the rainbow colors, posed in front of the cathedral on the feast of St. Anne, the city's patron saint. The project was planned in advance as an official festival event, with backing from local tourism and government bodies. Organizers said the artwork celebrated diversity and homosexuality. According to El País, the local bishop, Monsignor José Mazuelos, said he did not object to the nude performance in front of his cathedral: "I have no problem. When we go to the beach, we see naked bodies, don't we?" His complaint was instead about access restrictions that temporarily delayed clergy and parishioners attending the 10 a.m. Eucharist. He also described the event as "marketing for the city," adding he supported it insofar as it promoted …More

INSIDE THE TRADITIONAL BIRTHPLACE OF THE VIRGIN MARY Near the Pools of Bethesda and the beginning of the Via Dolorosa stands the Church of St. Anne, one of Jerusalem’s best-preserved Crusader churches and an important Catholic pilgrimage site in the Holy Land. For centuries, Christians have honored this sacred place as the home of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. But pilgrims come here for another reason. Ancient Christian tradition also remembers this area as the birthplace of the Virgin Mary. Before Our Lady stood at the foot of the Cross, held the Child Jesus, and said yes to God, she was a child raised by Saints Joachim and Anne. The Church of St. Anne was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century over earlier Christian remains. After Saladin took Jerusalem, it was preserved and used as a Muslim school. Today, Catholic pilgrims visit this Marian shrine to pray and sing. Beneath the church is an ancient stone grotto honored as the place of Mary’s …More
