Leo XIV promotes bishop who opposed Communion-ban for Biden. And: “I believe in Martin Luther King”. Leo XIV appointed Bishop Brendan John Cahill, 62, as the new bishop of Joliet, Illinois, on September 17. He has been bishop of the Diocese of Victoria, Texas, since 2015. In May 2021, Cahill joined 67 other U.S. bishops in urging USCCB president Archbishop José Gomez to halt discussion on “Eucharistic worthiness.” This was about denying abortion politicians such as President Joe Biden Holy Communion. The letter's effort failed outwardly as the bishops proceeded with the debate. But the national confrontation over Communion for pro-abortion politicians never materialized. Bishops on the other side of the dispute, including Archbishops Samuel Aquila and Salvatore Cordileone, publicly criticized the letter. In November 2025, Bishop Cahill told NcReporter that he is “convicted of nonviolence”: “I believe in Martin Luther King.” Similarities with Protestants Discussing ecumenism in 2023, …More

Belgian Bishop Trains Married Men to Be Ordained Priests by 2028. Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, told LaLibre.be on September 14 about his plan, announced already in March, to ordain married men to the priesthood by 2028. In June, he informed two Curia Cardinals about his course of action: Cardinal Lazarus You Heung-sik, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Clergy, and Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops. Monsignor Bonny claims that the move is driven "by necessity", pointing to the acute shortage of priests in Flanders. Antwerp diocese has fewer than 70 priests under the age of 70, two-thirds of whom are from abroad. The Cardinals replied that they would discuss it with Pope Leo XIV. Bishop Bonny has identified several candidates for priestly ordination. They are receiving theological and pastoral training comparable to that of seminarians. The preparation is being conducted “in a transparent but discreet manner, away from the media spotlight,” he …More

Bishop Strickland rejects yesterday's Vatican document marking 60 years of Nostra Aetate. Bishop Emeritus Joseph Strickland from Tyler, Texas, wrote on X.com on September 16 that the new Vatican document - approved by Leo XIV - “must be rejected and repudiated by all who hold Jesus Christ and His Church as the only way to the Father.” He refers to §54 on ‘The Path of Hope’: “The defensive entrenchment in one’s own position and the view that proselytism is the only way to engage with the other no longer make sense in a world that increasingly resembles an interconnected and constantly evolving global village.” Strickland counters: “Truth is not constantly evolving, Truth is Jesus Christ present with us in the world and His Church is the vehicle for our salvation.” #newsZzmwnhglqh

The carnival musician who almost married but then became a monk is now heading Heiligenkreuz. The 84 voting monks of the "conservative" Cistercian abbey of Heiligenkreuz near Vienna elected Fr Simeon Wester, 61, as their new superior today. He will lead the community for the next three years without becoming abbot. Born Karl Wester in Unkel on the Rhine, Germany, he grew up as one of five children. Music came early: piano, organ and trombone, followed by formal studies in choral conducting, singing and church music. As a young man, he was involved in the Rhineland carnival scene. Years later, when the musician decided to become a monk, the Cologne tabloid Express put the story on its front page: “Our carnival fool is going to the monastery.” Wester had felt drawn to monastic life since his teens but initially chose music. Around the age of 35, close to marrying his long-term girlfriend, he finally made the leap. He entered Heiligenkreuz in 2001. Music followed him behind the monastery …More
Saint Hildegard von Bingen - September 17 Also known as Hildegard Eibingen Hildegard of Bingen Hildegardis Bingensis Sybil of the Rhine Memorial 17 September Profile At a time when few womenwrote, Hildegard produced major works of theology and visionary writings. When few women were respected, she was consulted by and advised bishops, popes, and kings. She used the curative powers of natural objects for healing, and wrote treatises about natural history and the medicinal uses of plants, animals, trees and stones. She is the first musical composer whose biography is known. She founded a vibrant convent, where her musical plays were performed. Interest in this extraordinary woman was initiated by musicologists and historians of science and religion. Unfortunately, Hildegard’s visions and music have been hijacked by the New Age movement; New Age music bears some resemblance to Hildegard’s ethereal airs. Her story is important to students of medieval history and culture, …More

The Republican Party has a neo-Nazi problem. Sept. 16, 2026 nytimes.com/…/opinion/republican-party-alt-right-… By Jamelle Bouie Opinion Columnist This is not slander or pejorative or innuendo; it is the plain truth of the matter, a conclusion drawn from simple observation. And the problem has been getting worse. Consider a few of the people staffing the Trump administration. There is Paul Ingrassia, acting general counsel of the General Services Administration, who withdrew his nomination to serve as special counsel of the United States after Politico published a trove of offensive remarks from his social media and group chats. “I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it,” Ingrassia, who is 31, wrote in a text in 2024. “We need competent white men in positions of leadership,” he wrote in another message. “The founding fathers were wrong that all men are created equal … We need to reject that part of our heritage.” There is Nate Hochman, a young Republican operative …More
Ice Age Farmer @iceagefarmer Folks in SE Michigan, N. Texas, and Orlando reporting no diesel. Apparently some signs can be set to "Out" while others just read $0.00... I'm not claiming there's widespread shortages, but with prices at record highs, and stations running out ... the stress in the system is now evident, and people are starting to get the sense something is deeply wrong here...
Imagine if a Muslim did this. GTV would be all over it. Israeli Air Force reservist and drone operator who participated in the war in Gaza reveals to Israeli newspaper Haaretz: “I saw soldiers open fire on paramedics in Tel al-Sultan, Rafah, despite it being unmistakably clear that they were rescue workers.” “When I asked an intelligence officer to upload targets to the system, he told me: ‘You have two million targets in Gaza.’ In other words, every person in Gaza was considered a target.” “I was personally involved in the killing of 54 people even before October 7.” “I came to realize that any soldier in Gaza could kill anyone they wanted, as many people as they wanted, without ever being held accountable.”
GTV uses AI to moderate as well as human beings. That might be why we have a problem with posts like this.. And why I believe my posts are buried so much.
