On 17 May, Ukrainian FEMEN activist Inna Shevchenko, 35, staged a performance at the neo-Gothic St Elisabeth's Church in Vienna, Austria. The event was part of the 2025 Vienna Festival Weeks (Wiener Festwochen), which had a pagan theme entitled "Republic of Gods". Shevchenko has campaigned for abortion, homosexuality and blasphemy, usually half-naked. In 2012, she cut down a large wooden cross in Kyiv. In October 2025, Pope Leo XIV appointed Josef Grünwidl as Archbishop of Vienna. He was widely regarded as one of the most liberal priests in the archdiocese. Shevchenko Presents "New Form of Liturgy" At St Elisabeth's Church, Shevchenko was dressed in black. She presented what the organisers described as a 'new form of liturgy'. The event was even advertised as an "alternative Mass". Standing before the altar, Shevchenko asked, "Who speaks?" A women's choir responded, "Woman." She then wrote the word 'Woman' on a sign, held it aloft and began a speech centred on her interpretation of …ད་རུང་།
In one experiment, a mouse was placed inside a jar filled with rice. At first, it was thrilled. There was food everywhere. No effort, no stress, no searching, no struggle. To the mouse, it felt like paradise. Day after day, it ate. But slowly, the rice level dropped. And when the rice was gone, the mouse found itself at the bottom of the jar. That was when it understood the truth: it could no longer get out. It was trapped. Dependent. From that moment on, its survival no longer depended on its own ability to search, move, or provide for itself. It depended entirely on whoever decided to refill the jar — or not. The mouse had traded freedom for comfort. And that is how dependence is created. Not always through force. Sometimes slowly. Quietly. With our own permission.
Saint Claudius of Besançon | A Humble Shepherd of God's People | Feast Day June 6th Saint Claudius lived during the 7th century in what is now France. He first served as a monk and later became an abbot, dedicating his life to prayer, study, and guiding others in the faith. Eventually, he was appointed Bishop of Besançon, where he became known for his wisdom, humility, and care for God's people. Despite holding positions of authority, Saint Claudius remained focused on serving rather than being served. He encouraged holiness, faithfulness, and charity among both clergy and laity. He is remembered for: Deep prayer and devotion Faithful pastoral leadership Humility and charity Wisdom and holiness First Epistle of Peter 5:2–3 "Tend the flock of God in your midst... not lording it over those assigned to you, but being examples to the flock." Saint Claudius reminds us: leadership is a form of service holiness grows through humility faithful shepherds help …ད་རུང་།
Saint Claude - le 7 juin Évêque du Jura (+ 699) Évêque de Besançon. D'abord militaire, il embrassa la vie monastique à Condat dans le Jura avant d'être élu évêque de Besançon. Mais dès qu'il le put, il résilia cette charge pour rejoindre la solitude. Son monastère et le village voisin prirent son nom et le diocèse s'est placé sous son patronage: Saint-Claude-39200. ...Claude, abbé de Saint-Oyend-de-Joux, administre cette abbaye durant près de 50 ans, du milieu du VIIe siècle (vers 650) jusqu'à la fin du VIIe siècle (vers 695). Il est revêtu 7 ans de la dignité épiscopale, sans doute d'évêque claustral. De son administration, nous savons qu'il cherche à subvenir aux besoins croissants de son abbaye et qu'il contribue à son développement et à son rayonnement. L'histoire apporte peu de certitude sur la vie et la personne de saint Claude. La tradition veut qu'il soit né à Salins d'une famille gallo-romaine et qu'il ait été évêque de Besançon. Cet homme, qui de son vivant mène …ད་རུང་།
New Vatican Prefectessa Is Divorced: Montse Alvarado, the new Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, stated in an interview on Youtube.com on March 10, 2025: "I'm not married, but I am annulled in the Church, and I think it's important to talk about that too, for people to realize that annulment brings you closer to the Church and closer to Christ."
Montse Alvarado: “I'm not married, but I am annulled in the church, and I think it's important to talk about that too, for people to realize that annulment brings you closer to the church and closer to Christ.” This is the new Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication in a video on March 10, 2025.
Anyone claiming 'annulment brings you closer to the Church and closer to Christ' likely should have not been granted an annulment until such a misconception/misunderstanding could be clarified. Her declaration seems like a (proud) advertisement for annulment. Is this the kind of skewed 'communications' we can expect from her office? In and of itself, her annulment would not disqualify her from the job but her perspective certainly should. As bungled a piece of communication as one could fabricate.
– Folha de S. Paulo, June 12, 1969 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Recent news presents several facts worth reflecting on. Though diverse in origin, they all point to the same principle of political wisdom: those seeking victory for a cause should generally favor struggle over concessions. ____________________* * * __________________________ Readers are undoubtedly aware that the Italian Christian Democratic Party (CDP) emerged after World War II as the primary instrument for defending Italy against the rise of anticlericalism and Marxism. Most importantly, the Catholic electorate expected it to protect the country from the slippery slope toward communism, defend the Lateran Pacts, essential for normal relations with the Holy See, and prevent the legalization of divorce. The CDP had all the essential tools to achieve such high goals: almost all Catholic opinion leaders’ support, financial resources, and a powerful propaganda machine. However, from the start, the CDP leadership allowed …ད་རུང་།
Leo XIV on war in Iran: "I think this has already been made very clear: the notion of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we have today or humanity's capacity for destruction."
Today, Leo XIV touched on the concept of a just war. During the flight from Rome to Madrid, he told Franca Giansoldati that “there is no just war” in Iran. Leo XIV pointed to his encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas”, which says that just war theory is “now outdated. Today, he repeated: "I think this has already been made very clear: the notion of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we have today or humanity's capacity for destruction." Leo XIV made “overcoming the theory of the ‘just war'” one of the themes of the June 26-27 summit of cardinals he convened at the Vatican. #newsUmthcgthhs
WHY DID JESUS CHOOSE BREAD AND WINE AS HIS BODY AND BLOOD? The night before He died, Jesus held two ordinary things in His hands. Bread. And wine. Not gold. Not precious jewels. Not something rare or extraordinary. Bread and wine. And then He said words that would change history forever: “This is My Body.” “This is My Blood.” But why? Why did the Son of God choose bread and wine? Why not something else? The answer reaches from Eden to Calvary… and from Calvary to every altar in the world. BECAUSE GOD OFTEN HIDES GREAT THINGS IN SIMPLE THINGS God has always loved to work through the ordinary. Moses held an ordinary staff. David carried an ordinary sling. The Jordan was an ordinary river. Yet God filled them with extraordinary power. And now, in the New Covenant, God takes the most common elements of human life and fills them with His very Presence. Because God does not despise the ordinary. He transforms it. BREAD IS THE FOOD OF LIFE For thousands of years, bread was the basic food of …ད་རུང་།

God giving His Son is the greatest gift of His Mercy to mankind, yet we find humanity rejecting Him at every turn. What can YOU do without His Mercy? Can you walk under the sun and not be bother by its power? Can you stand in the rain and not be soaked? Yet you can say you can when you elect to disregard Him in every way, with your whinning and excuses, you buy into the believe that you are weak, when He has said: "everything is possible in Christ Who strengthens me"... Can't you see? We can be saints only and ONLY in Him. Excuses and more excuses, how can your soul not be bother by your constant flesh defiance to the Heavens? While you practice your favorite sin, angels, saints, Patriarchs, Holy Virgins and your family in Heaven looks away in disappointment, while our leadership claims you are weak, God told you 2000+ ago, that in Him you are not. God PROMISED He will be with us until the end, He has His angel with you to protect you, He gives you opportunities to NOT sin, yet we chose …ད་རུང་།
A new investigation into the destruction of a monument dubbed 'America’s Stonehenge' has shed light on conspiracy theories about what may have fueled its 2022 bombing. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s six-part podcast, Who Blew Up the Guidestones?, examines why the Georgia Guidestones became a target of fringe speculation over global elites, satanic rituals, and UFOs. With so many theories swirling over the supposed nefarious nature of the monument - historians said it was only a matter of time before rampant paranoia would lead to its destruction. The 19-foot granite structure near Elberton was destroyed on July 6, 2022, when an explosive device detonated at around 4.30am. Authorities said ‘unknown individuals’ carried out the attack. Surveillance footage showed a vehicle fleeing the scene, and the remaining slabs were later demolished for safety reasons. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. The Guidestones were commissioned in 1979 by an elusive man who wanted …

1) How fierce is the spiritual battle? a) Daniel 10:13-14 "The prince of the kingdom of Persia has been resisting me for twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to my assistance. I have left him confronting the kings of Persia and have come to tell you what will happen to your people in the days to come”. b) 1 Corinthians 15:30–32; Why do we put ourselves in danger all the time? Every day I face death—yes, brothers and sisters! My glory lies in Christ Jesus our Lord, for every day I face the danger of death. I fought against the beasts in Ephesus for the sake of humanity. c) Acts 19:13-16 “Some itinerant Jewish exorcists also tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, ‘I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.’ There were seven sons of a certain Jewish high priest named Sceva who did this. But the evil spirit answered them, ‘I know Jesus, and I know who Paul is, but who are you?’ And the man possessed by the evil spirit …ད་རུང་།

Notre-Dame de Mantara, refuge pendant la guerre au Liban Mes parents se sont réfugiés ici pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La grotte a été découverte au XVIIIe siècle et, en l'espace de quelques années, de nombreux évêques orthodoxes ont reconnu la papauté et sont devenus melkites. Elle est également apparue sur ce site au début du XXe siècle, tenant l'enfant Jésus dans ses bras. Des témoins racontent qu'elle a établi un contact visuel avec toutes les personnes présentes. Des femmes musulmanes viennent ici régulièrement pour lui demander d'avoir des enfants.
The cave was discovered in the 18th Century and within a few years many Bishops recognized the Papacy and became the Melkites. She also appeared at this site in the early 20th Century, holding the baby Jesus. Witnesses recount how she made eye contact with everyone who was there. Moslem women come here all the time to ask her for children.
