Novus Ordo Goes to the Dogs: On 26 June, a video of a Eucharistic celebration at the Santo Domingo Savio parish in Villavicencio, Colombia, went viral after two dogs started howling along with Rev. Carlos Mario Peña Lopera as he sang a hymn. The dogs, Simón and Luna, are strays that the priest took in and who now regularly accompany him at Eucharists, often sitting near the altar. According to Rev. Peña Lopera, Luna had not previously joined in the howling alongside Simón. The priest continued the hymn without interruption.
Dos perros que acompañaban al sacerdote durante la eucaristía protagonizaron un inesperado momento al unirse, a su manera, a los cantos de la misa.
I love dogs and have have/had several as pets - but they DO NOT belong at Holy Mass (guide dogs - who care for those with various ailments & are trained to behave - excepted).
The Russian Orthodox Church has revoked its June decision assigning its former foreign affairs chief to two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. Instead, Patriarch Kirill has assigned Hilarion, 60, to the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery near Moscow. The latest reassignment comes after a series of controversies involving the once-powerful church diplomat. In May, Czech police detained Hilarion in Karlovy Vary after searching his car and finding four containers containing a white powder. Czech authorities later identified the substance as cocaine. Hilarion was released without charges after two days, while the investigation remains ongoing. He denies any involvement and says he was the victim of a provocation. Hilarion had already been removed as Metropolitan of Budapest and Hungary in 2024 after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct and financial impropriety. The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated …Ibindi
From the hearts of the Romanian people. And may this be a lesson for the European Union. I truly hope that very soon, we will no longer have Ursula von der Leyen as president of the European commission. (Leaving two short videos). "WE ARE NOT ENEMIES. WE WANT TO COOPERATE WITH RUSSIA" — ROMANIAN WOMAN RECEIVES THUNDEROUS APPL... «МЫ НЕ ВРАГИ. МЫ ХОТИМ СОТРУДНИЧАТЬ С РОССИЕЙ» — РУМЫНКА ВЫЗВАЛА БУРНЫЕ АПЛОДИСМЕНТЫ From Putin in another video During his 2022 state-of-the-nation address, Vladimir Putin rhetorically asked why the United States is making an enemy of Russia. The answer, he argued, is that the West doesn't need a large and strong Russia. «Зачем делать из нас врага?»: Путин задал риторический вопрос США #путин #россия #сша Isn't that the truth. Hatred, jealousy and greed drive NATO and the EU to destroy Russia.

[Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Chapter XIII ~ HOW THE SOULS IN PURGATORY ARE NO LONGER IN A STATE TO MERIT, AND HOW THEY REGARD THE CHARITY EXERCISED IN THE WORLD FOR THEM. IF the souls in purgatory could purge themselves of their stains by contrition, they would in a single instant discharge all their debt, so ardent and so impetuous an act would they make, seeing in so clear a light the effects of the impediment which hinders them from attaining to their end, which is God, the object of their love. And be assured that the souls have to pay what they owe even to the uttermost farthing : this is God's decree, to satisfy the demands of justice. As to the souls themselves, they have no choice of their own in the matter ; they see nothing but God's will ; nor do they wish otherwise, because they have been so determined. They would not care for alms contributed by the living …Ibindi
"THESE souls are so closely united, so transformed into the will of God, that in all things they are satisfied with His most holy decree ; and were a soul presented before God with ever so little to purge away, it would suffer grievous hurt and a torment worse than ten purgatories."

Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the IX St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum – the Forum of United Cultures. Italian Publisher complaining to Putin about his country and how things are suppressed, how he no longer is invited by publishers as a political scientist. That we have the most severe censorship anywhere of speaking as a patriot. Then pleads with Putin later on about helping to save and publish literature. I want to ask our rulers such a question and there are no need for enemies. We not only provide Ukraine with weapons, we pay 12 million in pensions to pensioners in Ukraine every month. He went on to complain about other things going on. I know Putin is called King of Russia, Prince of Russia, The last Emperor of Russia, Father and Grandfather not only in Russia but around the world. But they need to give him a break.

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …Ibindi

Thou hast heard my prayers: and thou hast led me out of the den of misery, and from the pit of the enemy. Manifold and wonderful are thy gifts, O Lady: incomparable are the gifts of thy graces. Let all those exult and rejoice in thee who love thee: let them who have hated thy name, fall into hell. Blessed be thou forever, O Lady: forever, world without end. Glory be to the Father, etc."

The Archdiocese of Pamplona and Tudela, Spain, has distanced itself on August 5 from comments by one of its priests after he called for the "reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity" following the invasion into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. In a statement, the archdiocese said Rev. Javier Aizpún's remarks were "strictly personal opinions" that "neither represent nor are shared in any way by this diocesan Church." The controversy stemmed from a post on X.com in which Aizpún, parish priest of San Juan Evangelista in Huarte and a canon of Pamplona Cathedral, wrote: "May Our Lady of Africa, patron saint of Ceuta, inspire the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity. May we finish what Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone." In subsequent posts, he also called for Spain to "bombard Rabat" and "open fire if necessary" in response to the mass crossing of invaders into Ceuta. Archbishop Florencio Roselló sought an explanation from Rev. Aizpún, describing the …Ibindi
This priest should really have known how offensive his remarks were. Apparently he was under the impression that he was a priest in the Catholic Church where Jesus Christ ordered His followers to “go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. No. He’s a Conciliarist! What is absolutely amazing, though, is that Conciliarists who call themselves Catholic, are so indoctrinated they believe the SSPX is schismatic.
Well, NATO which is the US at the front of this war will pay dearly. As I warned since last year. It will take trump to cause WW lll. And here we are. They can't win on the battlefield so they go inside to kill many, many children and civilians. That's what NATO wants. Just like in Iran. Palestine, Lebanon and other countries. I will never forget how they bombed nearly 200 little girls in school. Or chose young boys and girls playing soccer to test out their new weapon. Look what the forked tongue beast is doing in Cuba. Killing many children and starving them. How can the babies survive who need special care to keep machines going without electricity? They don't care. they only care about their greed, pride and deceptions to lead others into hell with them. That's all they care about. GOD has shown us enough signs that man is a beast. But still many defend him. What a shame on them.
[unamsanctamcatholicam] This week we watched in horror as 50,000 Moroccan migrants (all of them Muslim) crossed the border into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, overran the city, rampaged about for two days, and had to be forcibly ejected by the Spanish military. Many of these were criminals, and their invasion was aided and abetted by Moroccan authorities; videos clearly show them being brought to the border by Moroccan police, and Spanish officials, including the Defense Minister, have accused Morocco of deliberately loosening border controls. It was a deliberate act of aggression against Spain using human beings as weapons. Oh but that didn't stop the usual suspects from giving the worst possible takes imaginable. Mainstream media predictably framed the event as a "humanitarian crisis"; news coverage was focused on the viewpoints of the migrants—their opinions, their needs, their desires; I did not see a single interview with Ceutans seeing how they felt about 50,000 Moroccans suddenly …Ibindi
