Mons. Varden reivindica la castidad como camino de libertad ante 250 jóvenes La castidad no es un corsé moral ni una negación del deseo: es el camino hacia la integridad de la persona, la unificación de la vida interior y, en última instancia, la libertad. hmtv
For the great thinkers of the Catholic tradition, “to be human is to exist with the sense of an absence to be filled.” If we do not know the finality of this longing, we are lost. It is, as Bishop Varden writes, “only in light of our human substance’s longing for union with the divine” that our lesser “yearnings make sense.” Chastity cannot be understood except in the context of the human orientation to communion with God. Within this context, we learn to love others not as things to plug into, but as persons to be in communion with. This living communion with others reintegrates us and our relations. In contrast, lust is a disintegration of the person and of the interpersonal. It disintegrates me and disintegrates the possibility of an us. Bishop Varden writes that lust “contrasts with healthy desire inasmuch as it is not directed toward communion through surrender with another.” Instead, the other person “is instrumentalized, not encountered as a person but used as means towards …More
"The heart of a sinner should be moulded between the two boards of the Old and New Testaments; for as the Psalmist says: Between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass, [Ps 103.101] meaning that the waters of doctrine flow from the two Testaments."

In our time, authority is deeply discredited, both in society and in the Church, whether because of excess or deficiency. This was said by Father Francisco Rivera, 46, on June 14 in an interview with VidaNuevaDigital.com. He was elected on May 20 as the new abbot of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa María de Huerta in Soria, Spain. It is one of Spain’s great monasteries and one of the most important historic houses of the Cistercian Order. Father Rivera acknowledged that the number of vocations has declined drastically: “We can blame the world, its values or lack of them, young people, social media, and so on. But I believe consecrated life must also undertake a rigorous examination of conscience. Perhaps we have become a kind of tasteless salt. And we know what the Lord Jesus says in the Gospel about that.” For the new abbot, the best vocation campaign is “to live, in our case, a serious and coherent monastic life, in fidelity to our monastic commitments and to the Rule of Saint …More
16.06.2026 SEDEVACANTIST BISHOPS SANBORN AND PIVARUNAS OFFER HOLY MASS WITH THE CREEDS, COUNCILS AND CATECHISMS INTERPRETED WITH THE FAKE LG 16 PREMISE. THEN THEY CRITICIZE POPE LEO AND THE SSPX. Pope Leo can morally only interpret Vatican Council II rationally and not irrationally. With Lumen Gentium 16 invisible and not visible, the Council is aligned with Tradition. So the pope must dialogue with the sedevacantist bishops Donald Sanborn, Mark Pivarunas. The irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II by the Synods is now obsolete. We know the Synod interpretation is dishonest. Now we have a rational option. Like Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the SSPX bishops who were excommunicated, the sedevacantist bishops today, interpret Vatican Council II with the false LG 16 visible premise. Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger did the same. This is also the mistake of Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez. But if the sedevacantist bishops choose to interpret Vatican Council II with …More
As the video on this link points out, this book is an excellent guide for converts - which I was, 25 years ago when I bought this little treasure for myself at a local Catholic bookstore. Truly, Of Mary There is NEVER ENOUGH
Dormition Cathedral at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, part of a UNESCO-listed monastery complex, was damaged during a large Russian missile-and-drone attack on Kyiv on June 15. Ukraine blamed Russia for the damage. Moscow denied targeting the site, claiming that it was caused by a malfunctioning U.S.-supplied Patriot air-defense missile.
@Stepan Rudenko Tell me something. Where do you come off calling me a liar? All because you decided not to look at all our posts for at least the past 6 or 7 years? And ignored the fact that 2 or 3 people were begging us to come and save them and their Church. There are some who remember that if they have been on gtv for years. And there are many. If it was a like someone by now would have denied it. Posts with Church's bombed with the remnants of the bomb showing it was from the UK and US. I and others have posted many video's and pictures of what's going on. My favorite are the independent journalist like Patrick Lancaster who has a channel on youtube going back to 2014!!!! In them you will hear the elderly talk about how he went to them and looked around at the devastation he made to their villages, towns and cities. Who he told them to their face. I hate you! I hate you all! And I am going to kill you all! It's all on his channel. You want proof? Look for it yourself! With him and …More
@Instaurare Omnia in Christo A lie has no feet. Don't lie; instead, give examples of where Ukraine has bombed "numerous churches, hospitals, schools, universities, and museums." Where has Zelenskyy bought houses around the world? Russia is destroying houses and wiping out entire Ukrainian towns and villages!
They should have just listened and looked at all the documents that Russia held up and showed the world they had it. Instead of calling it Russian propaganda. Showing pictures of where and what they looked like. So the world will know what is going on. After Russia kept warning us and showed the proof, victoria newland had no choice but to admit it. But "TRIED" to turn it on Russia that they were afraid IF Russia found out they would try to take it for themselves. Or some such nonsense. Morons. If they wanted it for themselves, would they have tried to warn us we have them? Or just take them without a sound. Now this administration is trying to say, they are worried with the conflict going on? Russians are highly intelligent. Russia already said from day one, they must be very careful not to even go near them. That if it was bombed, diseases or the chemicals in the lab can escape. And no one knows how deadly or serious the situation is. Russia is on the ball. They know better than this …More
Lavrov stated that US envoy Witkoff and Kushner will arrive in Russia “soon” Lavrov said that the Kremlin wants to hear from the American representatives “how the Americans plan to fulfill the agreements” concluded by Trump and Putin in Alaska.
I think they just realize the west is is just a stage show so they play along while doing what needs to be done to protect their sovereignty. They are answering the prayers of many that the deceivers will just trip over their own deceit over time.

Trump is asking where all the money in Ukraine has gone, and he estimates that they've poured in about 350 billion dollars. Trump knows that this money is being diverted and that this entire conflict is just a massive money laundering operation.
Everyone please take note! @Instaurare Omnia in Christo just Commented on this post, "The Fatima Center today is dead,..." I firmly disagree and personally believe the Fatima Center continues the legacy of their holy founders! Notice how the smear campaign against the Fatima Center is starting here on Gloria.tv?
@Instaurare Omnia in Christo No proof, here, right now. Not even one! I just showed you three proofs regarding the "errors of Russia.". Three different sources that you didn't refute. Okay well you did say, "An old article." But actually that doesn't refute anything. Oh and something "RIGHT FROM PUTIN'S MOUTH," isn't proof, that is propaganda. In case you didn't know the KGB is an elite foreign espionage agency. "Putin served in the KGB from 1975 to 1991, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel." So they are trained in espionage and lying you are going to believe them. Ok. And you said one writer was "untrustworthy" but that isn't proof either. At least you didn't try to get me to watch an RT video! LOL! You believe those are the Gospel truth!
Today, Pope Leo XIV received a delegation from the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York (UJA-Federation) in the Apostolic Palace. Founded in 1917, the UJA-Federation is among the world's largest Jewish philanthropic organizations, supporting “the poor”, refugees, and other vulnerable populations in New York, Israel, and more than seventy countries worldwide. Welcoming the delegation, Leo XIV praised the organization as an instrument of global Jewish philanthropy. It demonstrates a profound commitment to human fraternity that resonates with the Church's own vision of integral human development. Leo XIV Rejects Discrimination Based on Religion Leo XIV recalled that sixty-six years ago, in 1960, Pope John XXIII welcomed a delegation from the same organization with the memorable words, "I am Joseph, your brother" (Genesis 45:4). Then, Leo XIV observed that this encounter helped inspire a new era in Catholic-Jewish relations and contributed to the development of the Second Vatican …More
