Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra Palantir’s PRISMA software is actively running inside Ukrainian long-range drone strike command posts, confirmed on camera by CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh, who filmed inside a unit planning kamikaze drone strikes deep into Russia. Screens showed real-time maps, flight paths, and AI-processed data overlays while a masked commander (“Vector”) walked through strike planning live. The AI ingests thousands of parameters, including where Russian air defenses are intercepting drones, then calculates optimal routes for the next wave to slip through the gaps.
Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, is pressing ahead with his plan to ordain married men in 2028. Several married candidates are already being prepared for possible ordination. “I trust that an appropriate regulation can be found by the end of the synodal process in autumn 2028,” Bishop Bonny told Herder Korrespondenz, according to katholisch.de (September 28). Bonny warned that it would be “a fatal blow to the credibility and implementation of the entire synodal process if no regulation were reached by then.” Bishop Bonny also expressed confidence in Pope Leo XIV and his approach to the needs of local Churches. “Like a good father, he knows what his children need, and that is not the same everywhere or for everyone,” Bonny added. He also mentioned that he went to Rome in June with the backing of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference. “Before my visit to the two dicasteries in Rome, the president of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference gave me a letter in which the Bishops’ Conference supports …More
It aint gonna work. A priest is already totally occupied with his priestly duties as well as his prayer life. He does not have time to take care of a family. Being the son of a physician, my father was frequently called out at mealtime to deal with emergencies. A priest must sacrifice and devote all his energies in serving God.
The art essay of the month / Saint Jerome in His Study (c. 1435), Jan van Eyck (c. 1390–1441) Saint Jerome in His Study (c. 1435), Jan van Eyck (c. 1390–1441). For centuries the Church has remained indebted to Saint Jerome, the 4th-century scholar and Doctor of the Church whose translation work made it possible for “the treasures of the Bible to be opened more lavishly, so that richer fare may be provided for the faithful at the table of God’s Word” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 51). In his early-15th-century masterpiece Saint Jerome in His Study, the gifted Flemish painter Jan van Eyck offers a striking visual homily. A prominent figure in the Early Netherlandish painting school, van Eyck uses vibrant color, warm light, and rich symbolic details to evoke the power of God’s Word in the life and work of Saint Jerome. From a young age, Jerome (c. 347–420) was immersed in the study of literature and languages. Not long after his baptism in 366, he placed his significant linguistic and literary …More
Did you know that "real" Muslims believe JESUS will return to fight along side the righteous against tyranny and oppression? JESUS is not just a prophet from the past. He is a partner in the ultimate victory of good over evil. Do Shia Muslims hate Jesus? The answer is definitely NO! and In this video, I explain what Shia Islam really teaches about Jesus Christ — his miraculous birth, his miracles, his status as a beloved prophet, and the belief that he will return alongside the Mahdi to establish justice on earth. I also share a scene you've never heard: for over thirty years, Ayatollah Khamenei personally visited the homes of Christian martyrs' families during the Iran-Iraq War. I also show you the 380 churches in Iran, the Christian representatives in parliament, and the Tehran metro station named after the Holy Mary. Yes, there are theological differences. But Jesus is not a dividing line between us. He is a bridge. I posted Ayatollah Khamenei in a Christian home where he spoke …More
Pope of Applause. Leo XIV received three minutes of thunderous applause after his speech in Metz on September 28, accompanied by emotional orchestral music. He stood, visibly pleased, and nodded. Applause has an old political language: the acclamation of rulers. Leo XIV readily accepts the ritual, in Metz as in the Vatican, several times a day. Pius XII did not invent papal applause, but helped normalize what earlier popes had often regarded with suspicion: the Pope as the object of prolonged public ovation.
The French haven't been inspired by Christianity for a long time. It's considered that Pope Leo XIV was the first missionary to awaken the French in their Catholic faith, making them realize that they have been Catholic Christians since their ancestors.
But, to be honest Galileo was no scientist (he presented no proof on his theory) - only a polemist/publicist who mocked Urban VIII as Simplicio. And freemasons love the myth of eppur si muove.
September 30: Transitus of St. Thérèse On September 30, a special ceremony, the Transit of St. Thérèse, is held followed by the Vigil Mass for the Feast of St. Thérèse. Instituted in 2008, the ceremony commemorates the saint’s death of tuberculosis at age 24, narrating the saint’s final conversations before her death on Sept. 30, 1897. Just after entering the infirmary on June 9, 1897, Thérèse wrote: “I am not dying; I am entering a new life.” We invite you to contemplate her encounter with the Lord through her final words. The saint’s final months were spent in agony. She was unable to complete her memoirs, which her superiors had assigned, and which was to become one of the most popular spiritual autobiographies of all time: The Story of a Soul. It was during this time that she spoke of her future: “I feel that my mission is about to begin, my mission of making others love God as I love Him, my mission of teaching my little way to souls. If God answers my requests, my heaven will be …More
Vatican: late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela responsible for homosexual offences. The Vatican has publicly addressed the long-running case of Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE). The case began formally in May 2020, when Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló established a Special Penal Tribunal to examine allegations against Buela. After hearing the accused, his lawyer and numerous witnesses, the tribunal issued its judgment on 20 July 2021. It found that Buela had committed offences against the sixth commandment in relation to five male members of the Institute. Buela appealed. A Special Penal Tribunal of Appeal was subsequently constituted and conducted additional investigations, including further testimony from Buela and witnesses proposed by his defence. On 30 March 2023, the appellate judges deliberated and voted to confirm the first tribunal’s finding concerning the five cases. Before the appellate judgment could be formally drafted …More
Gas Tax “Relief” Scam While Congress Hides Soaring fuel costs and an escalating energy crisis are pushing our supply chain to the brink, yet Congress has gone on recess right when diesel prices to crippling highs, farmers are facing impossible harvesting costs, states are declaring emergencies to permit untaxed ag fuel on highways and major airlines are quietly slashing flights. Are we entering a permanent shift in food prices, personal mobility, and the cost of living?
If the unborn is a mere bundle of cells that is treated as biomedical waste, what’s the bereavement about? How facing the truth: every abortion is the murder of a child.
‘The Templar Rule Of Order’; ‘The Primitive Rule’; ‘Here Begins the Rule…’; pages 3; points 12-14 The original Latin Rule of Order was penned with the assistance of the young Cistercian Abbott, Bernard of Clairvaux. The rule is very similar to the modified Benedictine rule used by the Cistercian order. This makes perfect sense as the two orders were closely related and linked. The Primitive Rule of the Templars Here Begins the Rule of the Poor Knighthood of the Temple On Excommunicated Knights 12. Where you know excommunicated knights to be gathered, there we command you to go; and if anyone there wishes to join the order of knighthood from regions overseas, you should not consider worldly gain so much as the eternal salvation of his soul. We order him to be received on condition that he come before the bishop of that province and make his intention known to him. And when the bishop has heard and absolved him, he should send him to the Master and brothers of the Temple, and if his life …More
"13. Under no other circumstances should the brothers of the Temple share the company of an obviously-excommunicated man, nor take his own things; and this we prohibit strongly because it would be a fearful thing if they were excommunicated like him. But if he is only forbidden to hear the divine office, it is certainly possible to keep company with him and take his property for charity with the permission of their commander."
‘GEORGIA MARTYRS’: U.S. TO WITNESS ANOTHER BEATIFICATION CEREMONY | SG News Just weeks after the historic beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the Catholic Church in the United States is preparing for another major beatification. The Venerable Servants of God Pedro de Corpa and his Four Companions — collectively known as the “Georgia Martyrs” — will be beatified on October 31, 2026, in Savannah, Georgia. Cardinal Frank Leo, Metropolitan Archbishop of Toronto, will represent Pope Leo XIV as Papal Legate and preside over the beatification liturgy at the Savannah Convention Center at 11 a.m. The story of the Georgia Martyrs reaches back more than four centuries. In 1595, Franciscan missionaries were assigned to missions along the coast of what is now Georgia, where they ministered among the indigenous Guale people, learned their language and shared the Catholic faith. In 1597, a conflict arose when Pedro de Corpa opposed the decision of Don Juanillo, a baptized Christian and heir …More
Pedro de Corpa was born circa 1560 in Corpa, near Alcalá. He joined the Franciscan Order around 1577 and was likely ordained around 1584. On July 21, 1587, Pedro and twelve other friars (including Antonio de Badajoz) set sail from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and later departed Havana on September 29, arriving at St. Augustine on October 5. Pedro was assigned to work at Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Tolomato. He was the first to be martyred on September 14, 1597. Blas Rodríguez was born in the 1550s in Cuacos de Yuste, Cáceres. In the early to mid-1570s, he joined the Franciscans and was ordained sometime in the 1580s. On May 17, 1590, he was approved to be sent to the New World and was assigned to Tupiqui.[5] Those who killed Pedro then went to kill Blas. Before being executed on September 16, 1597,[4] he was allowed to celebrate a final Mass and preach: My sons, for me it is not difficult to die. Even if you do not cause it, the death of this body is inevitable. We must be ready …More

Leo XIV is “following in Francis’s footsteps,” Cardinal Ángel Rossi, 68, of Córdoba, told La Nación on September 27. Cardinal Rossi described Leo XIV’s visit to Argentina as an homage to Francis, comparing his visit to the Cottolengo with Francis’s trip to Lampedusa, with both emphasizing the poor and marginalized. He also said that “Leo XIV will find a battered Argentina, socially downcast, and one in which triumphalist language is heard.”
Cardenal Ángel Rossi: «León XIV se encontrará con una Argentina en ruinas, socialmente abatida y en la que se escucha un lenguaje triunfalista»
