Americas, Middle East Trump says decision to end Iran war will be made mutually with Israel 'We’ve been talking. I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account,' says US president US President Donald Trump said Sunday that he will make the decision to end the US-Israeli war on Iran mutually with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "I think it’s mutual…a little bit. We’ve been talking. I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account," Trump said when asked if Netanyahu would have a say in the decision during a short phone interview with the Times of Israel newspaper. Trump declined to opine on the possibility that Israel could continue its attacks after the US stops its strikes, saying: "I don’t think it’s going to be necessary." The White House said Friday that it expects the war to last four to six weeks, but that timeline has rapidly shifted over the past week, and Trump has repeatedly refused …
Why Pride Blocks God’s Healing Grace The story of Naaman the Syrian highlights the importance of faith. Naaman’s initial faith, instilled by a little girl, led him to seek healing from Elisha. However, his lack of faith in Elisha’s simple instructions almost prevented his healing. This story challenges us to examine our own faith and trust in God’s power, even when it seems simple or unlikely. Fr.

“I think that, if the excommunication (SSPX) would be applied, it would be in some way not valid because there is no intention to do a schismatic act on the side of the Society of Pius X, and you cannot be punished when you have not the intention to do it, according to the canon law,” Schneider said.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, the Holy See’s former Apostolic Visitor to the Society of Saint Pius X, has opined that any excommunication which the Society may be handed following the upcoming episcopal consecrations would be invalid.

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Gabriele Giordano Caccia, 68, as the new Nuncio to the United States. He succeeds Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who has been Nuncio in Washington, D.C. since 2016 and turned 80 in January. Hard to Be Worse Than Cardinal Pierre Cardinal Pierre, who was born in Rennes in 1946, played a key role in appointing US bishops loyal to Pope Francis. He was also involved in the process that led to the removal of Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, in November 2023, and reportedly directed bishops to abolish Masses in the Roman rite. Casaroli-Style Diplomatic School ("Ostpolitik") Archbishop Caccia has served as the Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the United Nations in New York City since 2019. Born in Milan in 1958, he was ordained a priest in June 1983 by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the Archbishop of Milan at the time.

The Hidden Sin Destroying Christian Witness St. Paul calls us to imitate God and live as children of light, free from sin and hypocrisy. We must live in truth and charity, acknowledging our sins while striving for holiness and with compassion for others. By doing so, we avoid being a house divided and become true witnesses to Christ.

Novena to Saint Patrick Blessed saint Patrick, glorious Apostle of Ireland, who didst become a friend and father to me for ages before my birth, hear my prayer and accept, for God, the sentiments of gratitude and veneration with which my heart is filled.

Fiona Rose Diamond @CoviLeaks Here in Amsterdam at the Court of Appeal as a historic case moves forward. Expert witness testimony is being fought for against Bill Gates, Albert Bourla (Pfizer CEO), the former Dutch Prime Minister and others.

Please share and follow me for updates - I’ve linked a video explaining this case.

It’s troubling that Catholic parishes are compelled to keep beautiful Masses out of public view due to directives from Cardinal Roche, while churches in Germany can openly promote what many see as liberal Protestant-style services.
TLM take note! The directive was that TLM could not be advertised. This shows how to not advertise and still provide information for the suppressed activity.

The title of this article, which is identical to the title of Deep Purple’s 1973 song, refers to a situation that is the result of Iran’s attacks on a number of US radar systems in the Middle East. The destruction of the THAAD radar systems (AN/TPY-2) has effectively blinded the entire air defense system throughout the region. You can find a lot of interesting information based on Chinese satellite images in the following video from the YouTube channel Money & People. I know from experience that most readers don’t usually watch the films shown. That’s why I’ll briefly summarize the most important facts.

This amount does not take into account the …
MAGNIFICAT: The cover of the month / “Let him who is thirsty come!” The Basilica of Saint Mark in Venice—consecrated in 1094—was erected to house the relics of Saint Mark that were brought back by Venetian merchants from Alexandria in Egypt, where the evangelist had suffered martyrdom. The shrine has been nicknamed the “Golden Basilica” because of its mosaics against a gold background. Entering it for the first time, one has the impression of being received into a magnificent casket of precious metal. According to Eastern symbolism, gold is the color of divinity, and therefore in this basilica the Divine Liturgy unfolds its splendors at the heart of the divine light—which is God himself. With this end in view, each of the millions of golden tiles was made of transparent Murano glass, encasing a leaf of pure gold. The mosaic that adorns the cover of this month’s issue of Magnificat is located on the wall of the south transept. It was produced in the 13th century and partially redone …More

"Make the effort to raise up, or rather, to enclose your mind within the words of your prayer; and if, like a child, it gets tired and falters, raise it up again. The mind, after all is naturally unstable, but He who orders all things can control it. If you acquire this practice and restrain it, He who sets the boundary to the sea of your mind will come to you during prayer and say; thus far you have come and no further."
