On 1 March, the anti-Catholic Italian association Rete L'Abuso reported that the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith had confirmed that the statute of limitations would apply in the case of Italian priest Valentino Salvoldi of the Diocese of Bergamo. Ordained in 1970, Salvoldi served as a missionary in several African countries and presented himself as a professor of philosophy and moral theology involved in clergy formation. Describing himself as a “beggar of love”, he promoted a spirituality centred on affection, the body, and physical closeness, often positioning himself as critical of what he considered to be a “rigid” Church. He has been accused by at least 21 individuals — all male and including minors at the time — of sexual abuse allegedly committed during youth camps and spiritual retreats between the 1990s and early 2000s. The allegations describe a pattern of prolonged kissing, inappropriate physical contact, sharing beds, and manipulative spiritual practices …More
Ontarians and those living in other Canadian provinces ought to support the campaign by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms to "Protect the public from the politicization of Ontario's regulatory bodies." The woke agenda has become a way to attack free speech and used to cancel people. It's an authoritarian approach which undermines the common good and democracy. These harmful progressives policies must be stopped. The JCCF has a strategy to do So: Send a letter to the Attorney General of Ontario and the Premier urging them to amend provincial legislation governing regulatory bodies to prohibit any form of compelled speech or ideological enforcement. When regulators directly or indirectly compel members to express certain views, or embed political ideologies into mandatory courses or codes of ethics, they erode public trust and compromise the essential independence of the professionals they oversee. Minister of Justice & Attorney General of Ontario Ministry of the Attorney …
Pray for Iran. Pray for the Axis of Resistance. Pray for the defeat of the Epstein forces. Pray for the freeing of the west from the Epstein cult. Invoke the Saints of Nagasaki that God will stay the hand of the cult members use of nuclear weapons or disable them. Remember GTV, so compromised, that Lent is a good time for confession. Required once a year. Offer that grace for the freeing of the west from the Epstein cult. ("What was visible in our Savior has past over into His mysteries." St. Leo the Great, Sermones, On the Sacraments).
Priez pour la défaite des forces d'Epstein. Priez pour l'Iran. Priez pour l'Axe de la Résistance. Priez pour la défaite des forces d'Epstein. Priez pour la libération de l'Occident du culte d'Epstein. Invoquez les saints de Nagasaki afin que Dieu empêche les membres de la secte d'utiliser des armes nucléaires ou les rende inutilisables. Souvenez-vous de GTV, si compromis, que le Carême est un bon moment pour se confesser. Obligatoire une fois par an. Offrez cette grâce pour la libération de l'Occident du culte d'Epstein. (« Ce qui était visible dans notre Sauveur est passé dans ses mystères. » Saint Léon le Grand, Sermones, Sur les sacrements).
Saint Luke proclaims the Parable of the Prodigal Son as the Gospel for Saturday of the Second Week of Lent. Is there any sin that is beyond the compassion of God?
2026-02-18 Reconquest – The Living Rosary Summary: Core Message: The Father is allowing the deep corruption and works of Satan in the world and the Church to be fully exposed. This painful exposure is not a sign of divine indifference but a necessary cleansing—like surgically removing infected tissue to reach healthy flesh—so that her Army can see the true enemy and fight with clear vision. The Call to Battle: This is a unique, tremendous Hour in salvation history. Past spiritual weapons are insufficient.The faithful are called to be her trained Army for this specific battle against overwhelming confusion, manipulation, and deception. The Essential Weapons:The primary weapon for this Hour is not just praying the Rosary, but living it . The lived Rosary forges a living chain to God's Heart and trains the soul in the three vital virtues: FAITH: To believe and unite with the divine mysteries. HUMILITY: To accept and set aside one's own will for the Father's infinite plan. OBEDIENCE: …More
And Why Does it Matter? The following first appeared as an interview in The Catholic Herald. Jan C. Benz, who conducted the interview, teaches philosophy at Blackfriars College, Oxford. Los Angeles Cathedral, completed 2002 Jan C. Benz wrote: For many Catholics, the experience is familiar and disquieting: newly built churches that feel more like conference centres than places of worship, stripped of ornament, symbolism, and the Holy. The question of ugliness in modern church architecture is often dismissed as a matter of taste or nostalgia. Yet for David Clayton, artist, educator and one of the most articulate contemporary defenders of traditional Catholic aesthetics, the issue runs far deeper. At stake is not merely style, but theology: how the Church understands worship, the human person and the relationship between beauty and truth. In this conversation, Clayton argues that modern ecclesial ugliness reflects a loss of Catholic inculturation, a failure of formation, especially in …
Leo XIV has appointed Archbishop Mário Antônio da Silva, 59, as the new Archbishop of Aparecida. The archdiocese is significant because it houses Brazil's National Shrine. Born on October 17, 1966, he was ordained a priest on December 21, 1991, for the Diocese of Jacarezinho. Benedict XVI appointed him as Auxiliary Bishop of Manaus in 2010. Francis promoted him to Bishop of Roraima in 2016 and to Archbishop of Cuiabá in 2022. He is President of Caritas Brazil. Monsignor da Silva participated in the Amazon Synod in October 2019. He was among the drafting committee responsible for preparing the Synod's final document. Wisdom of the Indigenous and Hugging Trees In October 2019, during the Amazon Synod, Bishop da Silva used all of Francis’ buzzwords. The Synod provided an opportunity to “listen to the voice of the Amazon” and to open “new paths” for the Church and integral ecology. He also supported the concept of “ecological conversion”. He called the Synod “an opportunity to get in …More
4. March 2026 4. March 2026 03/04/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. News is spreading on social media that Saudi and Qatari intelligence services have arrested Mossad agents who were planning and/or carrying out attacks. The obvious aim was to blame Iran in order to persuade the Gulf states to enter the war. Russia is apparently trying to mediate between the Gulf states and Iran to prevent the war from spreading. Meanwhile, the EU states are adding fuel to the fire by talking about arbitrary attacks, even though the targets are clearly US interests and therefore legitimate targets for a country defending itself. The excerpt I selected from the report on the events of the fourth day of the US/Israel coalition’s aggression against Iran can be read in the article published late yesterday evening on tkp.at: Day 4 of the war of aggression against Iran.Source. Tucker Says Mossad Chaos Agents Captured By Gulf Countries. Meanwhile, television in the corrupt West, i.e. here in our country …
04.03.2026 WITH LG 16 INVISIBLE THE SSPX CAN CLAIM THAT RAHNER, RATZINGER AND CHAPP ARE IN SCHISM : WITH LG 16 VISIBLE FERNANDEZ CAN ACCUSE THE SSPX OF BEING IN SCHISM The SSPX says that they want to save souls from Hell but they interpret Vatican Council II irrationally like Pope Leo, the Council is liberal and nontraditional, which the pope uses to justify the LGBT agenda. The pope is responding to his religious formation in Chicago and it is the same formation as that of the SSPX. Neither of the two choose to interpret Vatican Council II rationally with the Rational Premise and so affirm the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed and the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Roman Missal. The SSPX sends its seminarians in Rome to study at the pontifical universities where the priests and professors also interpret Vatican Council II irrationally like the SSPX. Now the Latin Mass is being attacked because of the Roman Missal’s exclusivist ecclesiology and the SSPX can do …More
Jeremiah 17:5-10 The person who listens to the Lord is wise. But the person who follows what leads away from God's love distances themselves from God, from themselves, and from others. Luke 16:19-31 Jesus tells the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to remind us to be ourselves. Hence, also the need to listen to people and to be with them. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Leo XIV appointed on November 26 the Indian Carmelite Fr Joshy George Pottackal, 48, as Auxiliary Bishop of Mainz, Germany. He will be ordained a Bishop on March 15. Monsignor Pottackal was born in the southern Indian state of Kerala. He became a German citizen in 2014, after living in Germany for ten years. On March 2, he told the Substack.com-Account 'The Pillar' that his appointment can be seen as a stance against the alleged "growing racism" and "xenophobia in Germany": "Immigration is a part of Germany, and therefore immigrants are a natural part of all areas of society." Furthermore, he presented himself as an opponent of the Apostolic liturgy, faith and morals. "I like that priests in Germany have more freedom to add personal and individual touches to church services." He did not participate in the heretical German synod: "I have been following it closely over the years." His opinion: "I think it is a positive that the synodal way led to quicker reforms and brought about a change …More
This appointment is Rome's approval of the German Synodal while officially calling for caution. You can see the pattern. A priest in the Apostolic Church Acts in persona christi, denying himself. In the Synodal Church it is all about the individual, innovation (non servium) promoted for one and all.
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD: Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (aged 52-53); Cardinal, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, Seraphic Doctor, Teacher of the Faith, Writer, Philosopher] “Chapter III ~ ‘THE MEANINGS OF THE NAME MARY’ Ave Maria. As we have said above, this name was inserted here not by the Angel, but by the devotion of the faithful. The Blessed Evangelist Luke says significantly: "And the name of the Virgin was Mary" (Luke I, 27.) This most holy, sweet, and worthy name was eminently fitting to so holy, sweet, and worthy a virgin. For Mary means a bitter sea, star of the sea, the illuminated or illuminatrix. Mary is interpreted lady. Mary is a bitter sea to the demons; to men she is the star of the sea; to the angels she is illuminatrix, and to all creatures she is lady. Mary is interpreted: "a bitter sea"; this is excellently suited to her power against the demons. Note in what way Mary is a sea, and in what way she is bitter, and how …More
"Mary is interpreted: "a bitter sea"; this is excellently suited to her power against the demons. Note in what way Mary is a sea, and in what way she is bitter, and how she is at once a sea and bitter. Mary is a sea by the abundant overflow of her graces; and Mary is a bitter sea by submerging the devil. Mary is indeed a sea by the superabounding Passion of her Son; Mary is a bitter sea by her power over the devil, in which he is, as it were, submerged and drowned."
