Corpus Christi Explained: When Heaven Walks Among the Faithful | SG News As church bells ring and millions of worshippers follow the Blessed Sacrament through city streets, Corpus Christi turns ordinary roads into powerful pathways of faith. Known officially as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, this cherished Catholic feast honours the profound belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.The origins of this global feast trace back to 1208 and the mystical visions of St. Juliana of Liège, a young Belgian nun. The feast gained definitive momentum following the 1263 Miracle of Bolsena, where a doubting priest witnessed real blood flowing from a consecrated Host. Deeply moved, Pope Urban IV established Corpus Christi as a universal solemnity in 1264 through the papal bull Transiturus.While the institution of the Eucharist is rooted in Maundy Thursday, the Church created this separate, joyful summer feast to celebrate the …More
Well, if giving flowers is an insult, Putin is certainly a serial offender. Over the years he has “targeted” dozens of people with those bombs of masculinity. I tried to search for the video I saw on youtube. It was titled, if giving flowers is a crime, Putin is a serial offender. But I did find this one. I didn't actually see the video just the title and skipped over it. But youtube will not show me the video. Everything came up about him and flowers but the one I searched for. The last paragraph is a little exaggerated. Putin has always given flowers out. When his wife gave birth to their first child, he also gave her flowers. As a former PM of Austria said, I enjoy Putin's company, he is an old fashioned gentleman. Yes, he is. and much more than that.
I mentioned how Putin gives flowers even to Patriarch Kirill and you can see it in the post. I never saw anyone give out so many flowers in my life. Or for that matter, I can't remember the last time any man has given flowers to a woman. As a leader or politician of any sort. Correction. This is another Patriarch he has given flowers to as well as Kirill.
A retired Jewish human rights lawyer has been identified as the mastermind behind the return to Australia of successive groups of ISIS brides and their children. One group of four wives and nine children of Islamic State terrorists arrived in the country earlier this month, sparking nationwide outrage, while a second group is now in Damascus and set to fly out within days. Prominent Sydney doctor Jamal Rifi has been the public face of months-long efforts to bring the 34 women and children back from Syria’s Al-Roj camp, but The Australian revealed that behind the scenes lawyer Robert Van Aalst has been the central figure in complex operation to facilitate the final group’s return. Sources told the publication Mr Van Aast controlled communications, set up confidential meetings, and worked with Syria-based contacts and Australians travelling to the Middle East to assist the ISIS-linked group. “Everyone thinks Jamal Rifi was running this. He wasn’t. It was Robert. He was the one pulling …
– Folha de S. Paulo, June 12, 1969 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Recent news presents several facts worth reflecting on. Though diverse in origin, they all point to the same principle of political wisdom: those seeking victory for a cause should generally favor struggle over concessions. ____________________* * * __________________________ Readers are undoubtedly aware that the Italian Christian Democratic Party (CDP) emerged after World War II as the primary instrument for defending Italy against the rise of anticlericalism and Marxism. Most importantly, the Catholic electorate expected it to protect the country from the slippery slope toward communism, defend the Lateran Pacts, essential for normal relations with the Holy See, and prevent the legalization of divorce. The CDP had all the essential tools to achieve such high goals: almost all Catholic opinion leaders’ support, financial resources, and a powerful propaganda machine. However, from the start, the CDP leadership allowed …More
Royal Family Welcomes Pope Leo at Madrid Palace | Shalom World News Pope Leo received a majestic state welcome at Madrid's Royal Palace on Saturday, marking the start of his historic, week-long apostolic visit to Spain. The Pontiff was greeted with a formal military honour guard in the palace courtyard, presided over by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. In a significant moment for the Spanish monarchy, the royal couple was joined by their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, marking the sisters' first official audience with a Pope as adults. Following the grand ceremonial reception, the Holy Father met privately with the royal family before addressing members of civil society and the diplomatic corps. The majestic palace arrival kicked off a busy seven-day itinerary that will see the Pope travel across Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands.
Papst in Spanien: Nein zu Polarisierung, Ja zum Frieden Leo XIV. hat Politik und Gesellschaft in Spanien dazu aufgerufen, der „Kultur der Konfrontation“ eine Absage zu erteilen. Zugleich lobte er den Einsatz Spaniens für Frieden und Völkerrecht.
Today in his meeting with civil authorities and the diplomatic corps in Spain, Leo XIV portrayed the oppressive Islamic occupation of Spain (711-1492) as place of confrontation, but also of dialogue and encounter between religions: “The presence of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, for example, constituted a long-standing political, cultural, and religious reality. During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews. At the School of Translators enhanced by Alfonso X (the Wise), experts from all three religions collaborated on translating the texts of the rich Arabic, Greek and Hebrew heritage, contributing to the dissemination of texts such as those of the philosophers Averroes (1126-1198) and Maimonides (1138-1204), among others. The cities of Córdoba and Toledo, in particular, became centers of dialogue between languages, religions and knowledge. …More
"During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews." If Catholics weren't sure about the meaning of truth, they were approaching apostasy.

Breaking News Dr. Reiner Fuellmich: Why and how I will get out of jail within four to five weeks at the latest Dr. Reiner Fuellmich has filed a civil complaint. As a result, he expects to be released from prison within four to five weeks. In a recent statement, he explained why and how. His case is based on the fact that he was abducted in Mexico by the German Department of the Interior, which is a clear case of political persecution and a violation of Article 16 of the German Constitution. Dr. Fuellmich has support from the public worldwide which he believes will make a crucial difference in his case. He believes the success in his case will also make a crucial difference in the cases of medical doctors in Germany who spoke out against the covid fraud and have been subjected to the same political persecution by the state.

Leo XIV Jokes About Homosexual Activist: Pope Leo XIV, en route to Spain Saturday, joked aboard the papal plane that he's competing with the homosexual activist "Bad Bunny" - who's performing in Madrid the same weekend. "Many will choose Bad Bunny," he told reporters. "But a few will come see the pope - and that says something."
Pope Leo XIV on the papal plane to Spain: “Do [young people] want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the pope? Many will go see Bad Bunny, but I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that says something, you know.”
Ha, ha, ha, ha...the sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance is so funny says the Devil! Hahahah, it's so funny to see so many burning in Hell for this, says the Devil!
The Pope blesses couples about to get married and calls marriage: “If I previously said do not be afraid to think about a vocation, marriage is also a vocation. Do not be afraid of marriage and of forming a family”
Servant of God Joseph Pérez (1890-1928) "The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church," said Tertullian in the third century. Joseph Perez carried on that tradition. Joseph was born in Coroneo, Mexico, and joined the Franciscans when he was 17. Because of Mexico’s civil unrest at that time (the forces of Pancho Villa had crossed into New Mexico on a raid the previous year), he was forced to take his philosophy and theology studies in California. After ordination at Mission Santa Barbara, he returned to Mexico and served at Jerecuaro from 1922 on. The persecution under the presidency of Plutarco Calles (1924-28) forced Joseph to wear various disguises as he traveled around to visit the Catholics. In 1927 Church property was nationalized, Catholic schools were closed, and foreign priests and nuns were deported. One day Joseph and several others were captured while returning from a secretly held Mass. Father Perez was stabbed to death by soldiers a few miles from Celaya on June 2, 1928. …More

Fray José Pérez El sacerdote José Pérez fue otro de los religiosos fusilados en Guanajuato por el ejército en el tiempo de la Guerra Cristera. José Pérez nació en Coroneo el 26 de diciembre de 1890. Ingresó al seminario franciscano de Querétaro en 1904 y profesa en 1912. Durante el conflicto armado, el padre Pérez se encontraba en la vicaría de Jerécuaro, de donde se desplazaba a pueblos y rancherías para oficiar las misas “a escondidas” de las autoridades locales y federales. El 31 de mayo de 1928, la población “Cañada de Tirados”, Tarimoro, celebraba el fin del mes de la Virgen María; para tal festejo solicitaron a Jerécuaro un sacerdote que oficiara la misa de la celebración, así les fue enviado fray José. Concluida la festividad, un grupo de campesinos se ofreció a acompañar al padre de regreso hasta la vicaría. Era mediodía y al ir pasando por un paraje denominado “El Cajón”, les salió al paso un grupo de militares disparando hacia ellos, logrando matar a uno de los …More
The Destruction of Catholic Marriage How Von Hildebrand's Subjective Personalism Erased the Objective Order of Catholic Marriage — and Produced the Crisis We Now Inhabit There is a word for what happened to Catholic marriage theology in the twentieth century. The word is flattening. Not development. Not enrichment. Not a recovery of neglected truths. Flattening — the systematic removal of every hierarchy from a reality that was structured by hierarchy from top to bottom: the hierarchy of ends in marriage, the hierarchy of the sexes in nature, the governing authority of the husband in the household, and the moral ordering of the conjugal act itself. One by one, all the heights were leveled. What remained was a single plane of mutual feeling, going nowhere in particular, accountable to nothing above itself. The man most responsible for this was Dietrich von Hildebrand — a German-American Catholic philosopher who fled the Nazis, and whose ideas now govern the mainstream of Catholic marriage …More
It seems very well written peace Henry. Well done. I must say about this paragraph: " The couple is pursuing the act's primary meaning. They are simply declining its secondary result. This is the logic — never stated plainly, but structurally present — that underlies the catastrophic collapse of Catholic fertility. " It is actually said, very plainly, by the v2 ultra-liberal-modernists, whereby one of them simply were the infiltrants (remember Bella Dodd and her list of 1100 masonic-communist infiltrants). It is written in de new very Code of Canon Law 1983. A result of this is the new Code of Canon Law which came in 1983., which has mixed purposes of marriage, so that puts an abstract concept of "common good of the spouses" in front of the procreation and raising children! But there is more: For Christian understanding of marriages, the Old Testament Book of Tobit is extremely important. Especially those warnings given by God through Archangel Rafael to Tobit 6, 16-17, and Tobit 6, 22. …More

Bishop Andrzej Jeż of Tarnów, the Polish Bishops' Conference delegate for municipal affairs, has backed local officials who oppose the registration of homosex marriages in Polish civil registry records. “There are higher values that must not be sacrificed for the sake of peace,” Bishop Jeż wrote in a message issued on the occasion of Local Government Day last week. His statement followed rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union and Poland's Supreme Administrative Court requiring Poland to recognize a homosex marriage lawfully contracted in Germany. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński subsequently instructed registry offices throughout the country to implement the court's decision. Bishop Jeż argued that Poland's Constitution holds “absolute precedence over European and international law” and defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. He added that no external institutions or EU courts have the right to impose a different definition of the family on …More
First possibility: We can speculate, with little risk of error, about what happened to compel Pius XII's successor to renounce his office after accepting it. Indeed, after accepting, the new Pope went to the room of tears to dress as Pope, and it was probably there that the blackmail took place, while white smoke was rising from the Sistine Chapel. This was certainly done with cunning and gentleness, but we do not know the purpose of this blackmail. In any case, he emerged from the room of tears, dressed not as a Pope but as a cardinal, and had to announce to the other cardinals his decision to renounce his office, which must also have been done gently and with apparent legality, since the conclave continued. (Source: first comment)
Slowly but surely, we are learning about this tragedy. Because the cardinals are sworn to secrecy, maybe we will not know exactly why and how the events transpired, until we depart from this life.
Saint Claudius of Besançon | A Humble Shepherd of God's People | Feast Day June 6th Saint Claudius lived during the 7th century in what is now France. He first served as a monk and later became an abbot, dedicating his life to prayer, study, and guiding others in the faith. Eventually, he was appointed Bishop of Besançon, where he became known for his wisdom, humility, and care for God's people. Despite holding positions of authority, Saint Claudius remained focused on serving rather than being served. He encouraged holiness, faithfulness, and charity among both clergy and laity. He is remembered for: Deep prayer and devotion Faithful pastoral leadership Humility and charity Wisdom and holiness First Epistle of Peter 5:2–3 "Tend the flock of God in your midst... not lording it over those assigned to you, but being examples to the flock." Saint Claudius reminds us: leadership is a form of service holiness grows through humility faithful shepherds help …More
Saint Claude - le 7 juin Évêque du Jura (+ 699) Évêque de Besançon. D'abord militaire, il embrassa la vie monastique à Condat dans le Jura avant d'être élu évêque de Besançon. Mais dès qu'il le put, il résilia cette charge pour rejoindre la solitude. Son monastère et le village voisin prirent son nom et le diocèse s'est placé sous son patronage: Saint-Claude-39200. ...Claude, abbé de Saint-Oyend-de-Joux, administre cette abbaye durant près de 50 ans, du milieu du VIIe siècle (vers 650) jusqu'à la fin du VIIe siècle (vers 695). Il est revêtu 7 ans de la dignité épiscopale, sans doute d'évêque claustral. De son administration, nous savons qu'il cherche à subvenir aux besoins croissants de son abbaye et qu'il contribue à son développement et à son rayonnement. L'histoire apporte peu de certitude sur la vie et la personne de saint Claude. La tradition veut qu'il soit né à Salins d'une famille gallo-romaine et qu'il ait été évêque de Besançon. Cet homme, qui de son vivant mène …More
