How One Man’s Quest for a Musketeer’s Bones Got Him Locked Up nytimes.com/…/europe/wim-dijkman-musketeer-bones-… A secret archaeological dig inside a Dutch church has led to drama worthy of Alexandre Dumas. Did Wim Dijkman really find the bones of the fourth musketeer? We may never know. By Jeanna Smialek Reporting from Maastricht, the Netherlands Published Sept. 13, 2026Updated Sept. 14, 2026 Leer en español Wim Dijkman was in Munich the first time I talked to him, in possibly illicit possession of three possibly ancient bones. The remains — two teeth, one humerus — may or may not belong to what is left of D’Artagnan, the French historical figure upon whom Alexandre Dumas based the main character in “The Three Musketeers.” They are part of a skeleton Mr. Dijkman and his friends unearthed in an old church near Maastricht, in the Netherlands, earlier this year. To the city’s dismay, they did so without permits, and largely in secret: Even church parishioners weren’t fully informed about …Mai

Hl. Eustachius - Gedenktag: am 20. September Märtyrer, Nothelfer † 118 (?) in Rom Die Legende berichtet von Eustachius, der vor seiner Bekehrung Placidus hieß, dass er Jäger und Heermeister einer Legion in Kleinasien unter Kaiser Trajan war. Eines Tages erschien ihm bei der Jagd auf einer Felskuppe ein Hirsch, der zwischen seinem Geweih den Gekreuzigten in großem Strahlenglanz trug. Er stürzte vom Pferd und hörte die Worte: "Warum verfolgst du mich? Ich bin Christus, der den Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, ich ließ das Licht aufgehen und teilte die Finsternis." Die Erscheinung wiederholte sich anschließend auch seiner Frau in der Nacht. Christus erschien Placidus ein zweites Mal, Placidus ließ sich nun mit seiner Frau Theopistia und den Söhnen Agapius und Theopistus taufen, dabei erhielt Placidus den Namen Eustachius. Die Prüfung, die Christus ihm bei der zweiten Erscheinung vorausgesagt hatte, trat ein: Eine Seuche tötete alle Knechte und Mägde, alles Vieh und alle Rosse, Räuber …Mai
CATHOLIC EUROPE, WAKE UP BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! | SG News A video from Belgium has ignited an intense debate among Catholics about liturgy, interreligious dialogue and the Catholic identity of one of Europe’s oldest universities. On September 16, KU Leuven officially opened its 2026–2027 academic year with a Catholic Mass at St. Peter’s Church in Leuven. During the celebration, a person was filmed reciting or chanting in Arabic from the front of the church. The Flemish Catholic student organization KVHV-Leuven described the segment as “Islamic chants,” and the video quickly spread across Catholic and conservative social media, provoking criticism from Catholics who questioned why material identified as Islamic prayer was included within a Eucharistic celebration. As of September 19, KU Leuven has not published an official transcript or detailed explanation identifying the Arabic text, so reports describing it specifically as an Islamic prayer should be treated with appropriate caution …Mai
KATHOLISCHES EUROPA, WACHT AUF, BEVOR ES ZU SPÄT IST! | SG News Ein Video aus Belgien hat unter Katholiken eine intensive Debatte über Liturgie, interreligiösen Dialog und die katholische Identität einer der ältesten Universitäten Europas ausgelöst. Am 16. September eröffnete die KU Leuven ihr akademisches Jahr 2026/27 offiziell mit einer katholischen Messe in der St.-Peter-Kirche in Leuven. Während des Gottesdienstes wurde eine Person gefilmt, die vorne in der Kirche auf Arabisch rezitierte oder sang. Die flämische katholische Studentenorganisation KVHV-Leuven bezeichnete den Ausschnitt als „islamische Gesänge“. Das Video verbreitete sich rasch in katholischen und konservativen sozialen Medien und rief Kritik von Katholiken hervor, die hinterfragten, warum Material, das als islamisches Gebet identifiziert wurde, in eine Eucharistiefeier eingebunden war. Bis zum 19. September hat die KU Leuven weder ein offizielles Transkript noch eine detaillierte Erklärung zu dem arabischen Text …Mai
We are stepping into an emerging horizon where the dramatized audio Bible evolves beyond static playback into an adaptive, multi-dimensional sonic experience—weaving multi-cast voice acting, spatial acoustics, and contextual scoring directly into ancient text. Rather than settling for traditional single-narrator audiobooks, it represents an unfinished frontier in auditory technology: an evolving theater-of-the-mind framework striving to fully reconstruct biblical narratives, dynamic dialogues, and historical environments for tomorrow's listeners.

Leo XIV wants to beatify controversial Aids-Priest Don Luigi. Leo XIV has opened the way towards the beatification of Luigi Di Liegro (1928–1997), a Roman priest who wanted to be close to people dying of AIDS. The pope made the announcement on Friday during the diocesan assembly in the Basilica of St John Lateran. He said he had “gladly approved” the steps necessary to begin the diocesan investigation into Di Liegro’s life, virtues and reputation for holiness. The most controversial episode of Di Liegro’s ministry came in 1988. As head of Caritas Rome, he insisted on opening a home for people with AIDS at Villa Glori in Parioli — an affluent Roman neighbourhood. It was the height of the AIDS panic. HIV was associated particularly with drug users and homosexuals. Residents protested. More than a thousand signatures were reportedly collected against the home. Rome temporarily delayed the opening; demonstrators marched against the project, while scouts, environmentalists and others organised …Mai
FBI targeted traditional minded priests and laity. (Here) In July 5 FBI employees were fired over the illegal surveillance. NOW, to be totally honest, despite shocking what they did, me in particular, I was happy the tried, not because I knew there wasn’t anything there, BUT i was happy because whosoever did the infiltration was going to converted once they saw the truth and beauty of tradition.
'The thing I find utterly strange is how embarrassed our church leaders are to even talk about Christianity.' Writer Andy Jones reacts to the Archbishop of Canterbury withdrawing an award given to an Islamic cleric who praised Osama bin Laden.
Protestantism leads to atheism, so said E Michael Jones, and I totally agree with him. He mentioned another religion, but I will leave that up to the reader.
Correct. Our Lady did not intervene for the Crusades to take over the Holy Land (with the Blessed Sacrament already present there). Rather she intervened to aid and protect the Crusaders from Muslim invaders (self defense).
