L’Assemblea degli Ordinari Cattolici di Terra Santa ha diffuso un comunicato durissimo dopo la profanazione di un’immagine di Gesù crocifisso in un villaggio del Libano.

I vescovi chiedono misure disciplinari immediate, un’accertata assunzione di responsabilità e garanzie chiare perché fatti simili non si ripetano. La Chiesa di Terra Santa rinnova il suo appello: fermare una guerra che lacera la regione da troppo tempo e scegliere una strada fatta di dialogo, responsabilità, rispetto del sacro e di ogni vita umana. da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum

Gänswein is desperately seeking approval from his Bergoglian masters. He is their weapon to fake their continuity with Pope Benedict and weaken trad opposition. Frankly, I have no idea why Gloria tv writes about that poor man

Südlibanon: Israelischer Soldat verunstaltet Jesusfigur Die israelische Armee hat eingeräumt, dass es im Süden Libanons zu Vandalismus gegen eine Jesusfigur gekommen ist. Die Streitkräfte verurteilen den Vorfall und kündigen angemessene Maßnahmen gegen die Verantwortlichen an. Außenminister Gideon Sa’ar erklärte in einer Stellungnahme, es handele sich um „eine Geste, die unseren Werten völlig zuwiderläuft“. Die israelischen Streitkräfte (IDF) haben die Echtheit des in den sozialen Medien kursierenden Bildes bestätigt, das einen israelischen Soldaten zeigt, wie er mit einer Art Axt auf den Kopf einer Jesusstatue schlägt, die sich vom Kreuz gelöst hatte. Die Statue befand sich im christlichen Dorf Debl im Südlibanon, nahe der Grenze zu Israel. Die IDF teilte in einem Beitrag auf ihrem offiziellen Social-Media-Profil X mit, den Vorfall „mit großer Strenge“ zu behandeln, und fügte hinzu, dass „das Verhalten des Soldaten völlig unvereinbar mit den Werten ist, die von der Truppe erwartet …མང་བ།
Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Catolicismo, December 1952 (*) Through tall stained glass windows comes abundant but soft streams of light. This light is reflected everywhere: on the floor, the polished metal of the weapons and suits of armor, and the bronze and crystal of the immense candelabras. It even seems to touch with difficulty the ceiling ribbing and paintings overhead. The strong yet elegant columns, with their coherent, distinct, and suave lines, open up like immense palm trees that protect the hall with their fronds of stone. The hall is strongly impregnated by a special ambience that invites one to repose without idleness or dissipation. Rather, it is a repose imbued with gravity, reflection, equilibrium and strength. The armor and the stuffed deer enrich this ambience recalling the prowess of the hunt and the battlefield. The carved wood paneling with its elegance and warmth breaks the austerity which the stone alone perhaps would have had to the extreme. In the back on a pedestal …མང་བ།
Young people have the right to "more traditional" forms of liturgical "experience", said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Amado replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Amado suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,…མང་བ།
"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.

Entire Lithuania checks this newsfeed every morning and approves greatly these sights of burning Russia infractructure. Not because we glee over the suffering of Russians as the nation, but because it's the only way to stop these killers. They have been atheistic and country for more than 100 years - and imperialistic even more, and they are the mortal enemy of every country around it. It would be best for it to fall apart - this „prison of nations". Then - let's hope so, Russia will convert to catholicism.
04/20/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. A crime that goes unspoken. That is the title of a film on the YouTube channel “Wbrew Cenzurze.” Not all of you have children of your own, but I hope that each of you can imagine the immense tragedy experienced by parents whose children have been brutally murdered for political reasons. Every child killed is a crime against humanity. Regardless of the parents’ nationality, religion, skin color, or beliefs. We must always oppose this. What is a child at school to blame for when some scumbag fires rockets at that school? Forty minutes later, a second rocket was fired to kill those who had rushed to the aid of the suffering children. Then a third. Can such acts still be called war, or is this not simply brutality? I have already shown in a previous post who fired these rockets. I will show these criminals once again. “Take note of these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the first officer of the USS Spruance, who …
