Around 500 nude volunteers gathered outside the Cathedral of Santa Ana in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, on Sunday for a photographic installation by American artist Spencer Tunick as part of the Culture & Business Pride festival. Participants, painted in the rainbow colors, posed in front of the cathedral on the feast of St. Anne, the city's patron saint. The project was planned in advance as an official festival event, with backing from local tourism and government bodies. Organizers said the artwork celebrated diversity and homosexuality. According to El País, the local bishop, Monsignor José Mazuelos, said he did not object to the nude performance in front of his cathedral: "I have no problem. When we go to the beach, we see naked bodies, don't we?" His complaint was instead about access restrictions that temporarily delayed clergy and parishioners attending the 10 a.m. Eucharist. He also described the event as "marketing for the city," adding he supported it insofar as it promoted …অধিক

Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, a 17th-century lay brother, discovered that the grandest truths of the faith are meant to be lived out right in the middle of our daily, mundane tasks. Father Gregory Pine, OP, steps into the studio to introduce the latest season of the acclaimed Catholic Classics podcast by Ascension, guiding modern audiences through The Practice of the Presence of God. Father Gregory explains how this unique, "readable yet faithful" translation by Professor Matthew Minard strips away dense, archaic phrasing to give 21st-century readers an accessible handle on silent prayer.

The Vatican has published new guidelines today, "Recollecting: Accompanying the Preparation of the Local Church's Evaluation Assembly," for the next stage of the Synod on Synodality. Every diocese is required to hold evaluation assemblies during the first half of 2027 to assess how the Synod's Final Document has been implemented. Bishops will lead the evaluation, establish or reactivate synodal teams, and approve a six- to eight-page narrative report to be submitted to Rome. They are also instructed to describe "transformations in decision-making processes, and reforms of structures" as part of their narrative report. Interreligious synodality Each diocese will also hold an evaluation assembly using the method of "conversation in the Spirit." The guidelines state that dioceses should consider inviting "representatives of other Christian Churches and communities or other religions as observers."

1- In some way early abortion is more horrible than late abortion. To me early abortion is the same thought process as her immediately saying to her inner self "wow I want that baby dead ASAP" . 2- Remember that in any single instance of abortion the woman has more guilt that the abortionist because she is offering her baby to be killed so without her there would be no abortion. Of course, the abortionist is a mass murderer. 3 - I can't help thinking that if the procedure for abortion was to somehow lay the baby in the parking lot and run over it with a car...they would do that. 4 - For the religious folk(me) know that repentance after abortion is very small.
[DE↓] Rothschilds Exposed: Occult, Rape, Epstein Cash Behind the gilded façades of European chateaus and London boardrooms lies a paper trail of corruption that has gone unchallenged for generations. Declassified archives, court depositions, and financial ledgers now connect the Rothschilds to occult rituals, corporate rape cover-ups, and a $25 million pipeline to Jeffrey Epstein's front company. Geopolitics Prime has assembled the proof. Satanic ball On the night of December 12, 1972, the Chateau de Ferrieres, located just outside Paris, became the setting for a scandalous ball organized by Baron Guy de Rothschild and his wife Marie-Helene, with Salvador Dali serving as a key designer. That night, the organizers created an atmosphere of an occult ritual: invitations were printed backwards, requiring a mirror to read, while the castle was lit with orange lights to create the illusion of hell.

Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, Scotland, declared Fr. Michael Mary Sim, 72, Superior of the Transalpine Redemptorists, excommunicated on July 25. After publicly embracing sedevacantism in May, he was found guilty of schism. Although the consecration as Sedevacantist bishop took place on the same day the diocesan judgment was published, Bishop Gilbert clarified that the canonical trial had been completed before the ceremony and therefore did not include the new offense in its verdict. Bishop Gilbert stated that Fr. Michael Mary was found guilty on multiple ecclesiastical charges, the most serious being schism: "As a result, he is declared to be excommunicated, dismissed from ecclesiastical office, and prohibited from the celebration of Mass or the other sacraments." The diocese said the Vatican's competent dicasteries had been informed throughout the process. Bishop Gilbert also noted that the penalties could be lifted should Fr. Michael Mary sincerely repent and seek reconciliation …অধিক

Don't Let Sin Defile God's Temple The gospel reading describes Jesus weeping over Jerusalem for its lack of faith and turning the temple into a den of thieves. This reading is a call to examine ourselves, as we are the temple of the Lord, and to ensure we are not stealing from God what belongs to Him. St. Paul warns against idolatry, covetousness, and fornication, urging us to prioritize our faith and avoid distractions. St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians emphasizes the need for holiness, urging us to reject impurity, covetousness, gossip, and bad language. Fr. Altier stresses the importance of prayer and living a life that reflects Christ, even if it means being different from the world.
