A young married couple lived next door to an older husband and wife. Over time, the four of them became close friends. Nearly every Sunday afternoon, the younger couple would stop by for coffee, something sweet, and a long conversation around the kitchen table. There was one small ritual they noticed every single time. Whenever the older woman wanted coffee, she would hand the jar to her husband and ask him to open it for her. One Sunday, the young man decided to help. He quietly bought her a small jar-opening tool and showed her how easy it was to use. “There,” he said with a smile. “Now you won’t have to struggle with those lids anymore.” She thanked him warmly. But the following Sunday, something curious happened. Just as she always had, the woman picked up the coffee jar and handed it to her husband. “Could you open this for me, sweetheart?” He took it, twisted the lid loose, and handed it back with a satisfied little smile. The younger couple exchanged a glance. Later, when they …More
Canon law does not authorize ‘changing the Church's universal liturgical rules,’ a lay Catholic who wrote Bishop Jeffrey Walsh of Gaylord, Michigan, noted.
Fr Gomes wrote: “The Church, consequently, is invited to recognize that it does not possess the fullness of truth in absolute terms, but receives it progressively.” Or: “No historical religion is absolute.” Or: “The uniqueness of Jesus of Nazareth cannot be absolutized to the point of excluding other religions.” Or: “Christian revelation, although definitive, cannot claim to be unconditional.” Or: “People are saved in and through the religious traditions to which they belong.”
Leo XIV appoints blatant heretics to Vatican commission. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed 24 new members to the International Theological Commission and renewed the mandates of six others, bringing its total membership to 30.

Chilean Theologian praises Communion for practicing Homosexuals Among the newly appointed members is Claudia Leal Luna, a Chilean theologian and professor at the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences in Rome. She is known for questioning the Church's teaching on homosexuality. In March 2021, following a declaration by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith prohibiting blessings of same-sex unions, Leal Luna attacked the document in an interview with 'Radio Universidad de Chile'. Luna criticized the Vatican's distinction between blessing homosexual individuals and blessing …More

The Pope of my priesthood… October 22, Feast of Saint John Paul II Dear brothers and sisters, it was around 7:30 a.m. on September 29, 1978. I was in the chapel of the San Pio X Regional Seminary in Chieti—I had entered just the year before to begin my journey toward the priesthood—and, together with some fellow seminarians, we were waiting for the vice-rector to begin Morning Prayer (Lauds). He arrived right on time, and we began our morning prayer. After the concluding prayer, the vice-rector asked us to pray for the soul of the Holy Father, John Paul I. We all turned around, startled; the look of confirmation on the vice-rector’s sad, sorrowful face verified the shocking news: the "Smiling Pope" had left us to return to the Father’s House after a pontificate of only 33 days. The Conclave—the second in the span of two months—began on October 14 and led to the election of the Polish Cardinal, Karol Wojtyła, to the Chair of Peter; he took the name John Paul II. It was October 16, 1978. …More
Israel is set to gain sweeping influence over the Pentagon and its AI, cyber, and quantum tech The provision “merging” the US and Israeli military sectors is unnecessary and poses a threat to US national security, retired US Army Colonel Andrew M. Leonard argues in Responsible Statecraft. The new executive agent responsible for synchronizing US-Israel cooperative efforts would wield sweeping powers, including over Pentagon bodies tasked with preventing sensitive technology from reaching foreign entities The defense secretary alone would appoint the executive agent, with no congressional oversight of how that authority is exercised Integrating US and Israeli military technologies could lock Washington into multi-generational dependencies, regardless of future US policy. If US systems come to rely on Israeli technology, Tel Aviv could gain even greater leverage over Washington The cooperation would span some of the most sensitive technologies, including counter-drone systems, …More
Israel steht davor, weitreichenden Einfluss auf das Pentagon sowie dessen KI-, Cyber- und Quantentechnologien zu gewinnen. Die Bestimmung, die eine „Verschmelzung“ der militärischen Sektoren der USA und Israels vorsieht, ist unnötig und stellt eine Bedrohung für die nationale Sicherheit der USA dar – so argumentiert Andrew M. Leonard, ein Oberst der US-Armee im Ruhestand, in *Responsible Statecraft*. Die neu geschaffene Instanz, die für die Koordinierung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen den USA und Israel zuständig sein soll, würde über weitreichende Befugnisse verfügen – unter anderem gegenüber jenen Stellen im Pentagon, deren Aufgabe es ist, den Abfluss sensibler Technologien an ausländische Akteure zu verhindern. Der US-Verteidigungsminister soll diese Instanz allein ernennen; eine parlamentarische Kontrolle darüber, wie diese Befugnisse ausgeübt werden, ist nicht vorgesehen. Eine Integration militärischer Technologien der USA und Israels könnte Washington in langfristige, über …More

Netanyahu orders Mossad and IDF to overthrow Iran's regime Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a direct directive to Israel's intelligence and military apparatus to topple the Iranian government, claiming he has American backing.

This directive comes just eight days before Israel's election on October 27 — with Netanyahu facing the very real prospect of losing power. geopolitics_prime

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12,35-38. Jesus said to his disciples: “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants." shareyourcatholicfaith
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Lukas - Lk 12,35-38. In jener Zeit sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Eure Hüften sollen gegürtet sein und eure Lampen brennen! Seid wie Menschen, die auf ihren Herrn warten, der von einer Hochzeit zurückkehrt, damit sie ihm sogleich öffnen, wenn er kommt und anklopft! Selig die Knechte, die der Herr wach findet, wenn er kommt! Amen, ich sage euch: Er wird sich gürten, sie am Tisch Platz nehmen lassen und sie der Reihe nach bedienen. Und kommt er erst in der zweiten oder dritten Nachtwache und findet sie wach – selig sind sie.
Letter to the Ephesians 2,12-22. Brothers and sisters: You were at that time without Christ, alienated from the community of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have become near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and …More
Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Epheser 2,12-22. Schwestern und Brüder! Zu jener Zeit wart ihr von Christus getrennt, der Gemeinde Israels fremd und von dem Bund der Verheißung ausgeschlossen; ihr hattet keine Hoffnung und lebtet ohne Gott in der Welt. Jetzt aber seid ihr, die ihr einst in der Ferne wart, in Christus Jesus, nämlich durch sein Blut, in die Nähe gekommen. Denn er ist unser Friede. Er vereinigte die beiden Teile – Juden und Heiden – und riss die trennende Wand der Feindschaft in seinem Fleisch nieder. Er hob das Gesetz mit seinen Geboten und Forderungen auf, um die zwei in sich zu einem neuen Menschen zu machen. Er stiftete Frieden und versöhnte die beiden durch das Kreuz mit Gott in einem einzigen Leib. Er hat in seiner Person die Feindschaft getötet. Er kam und verkündete den Frieden: euch, den Fernen, und Frieden den Nahen. Denn durch ihn haben wir beide in dem einen Geist Zugang zum Vater. Schwestern und Brüder! Ihr seid jetzt nicht mehr Fremde und ohne Bürgerrecht,…More
