A country that withdraws from treaties, obligations, and guarantees at the first opportunity? Iranian President Pezeshkian has stated that he is willing to end the war in exchange for guarantees against further attacks. For more details, see the article published on ZeroHedge on Tuesday evening: Iran Says ‘Prepared To End War’ If Security Guarantees Offered. In my opinion, Iran’s drones, missiles, and strategic acumen are the best guarantee that it will not be attacked again. It would be good if the United States were to close all its bases in the Middle East. This can be compared to a court-ordered restraining order imposed on individuals who have behaved aggressively toward their family members. While this offers no guarantees, it at least makes malicious behavior more difficult and creates a legal basis for punishing …
St. Hildegard: But as a woman should not wear a man's clothes, she should also not approach the office of My altar, for she should not take on a masculine role either in her hair or in her attire.
1. The War Was Predictably Destabilizing The speaker begins by saying any competent analyst should have known that attacking Iran would disrupt global energy markets. Iran has the capability to interfere with oil flows (especially in key shipping lanes), so economic fallout was a “known known”—not a surprise. 2. Failure to Build International Support They contrast this conflict with earlier U.S. wars: 1991 Gulf War: A broad coalition was built before combat—European allies, Arab states, and NATO partners were aligned. 2003 Iraq War: Even though controversial, the U.S. at least attempted to gain NATO backing and international legitimacy. Current situation: No real diplomatic effort was made to build a coalition. Europe is refusing to participate. European economies are already strained (e.g., from Russia sanctions), and this war is worsening their situation. Conclusion: The U.S. acted unilaterally and now stands isolated. 3. No Serious War Planning The speaker argues the war was launched …More
"#1 The War Was Predictably Destabilizing" Who benefits? Certainly not US interests. Destabilizing the region is exactly what Israel wants. Bibi's mission accomplished.
On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo
This ferula is inconsistent with the truth of the Gospel. Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, not off of the cross. On the cross he was absolutely, completely and utterly, dead. His crucifixion and death was the most through and through complete offering of His whole Self for us to God. It is the most awful and beautiful expression of love in the entire universe, and a continuing challenge to us who claim to 'love' like Him! Why shrink from showing His beautiful death to the whole world?
I had Grok break down Trump’s EO, and there were some interesting points: 1) This EO includes the involvement of DHS creating state citizenship lists for every state. DHS’s role in election security is expanding. 2) Mail-in ballots are being reformed, with “unique intelligent mail barcodes”, and these ballots can only be mailed to citizens on the state citizenship lists created by DHS and SSA. 3) The order also directs the AG to prioritize investigations and prosecutions of election-related crimes, particularly related to distributing/collecting illegal ballots to/from non-citizens. In conclusion, Trump is using DHS to secure elections via managing the voter rolls and preventing mail-in ballot fraud, while the DOJ has been instructed to prosecute any attempts to cheat. This is what the Dems have been worried about the entire time. This is why they have been refusing to fund DHS and throwing a fit about ICE. It was always about election security. BioClandestine
I found this one of the clearest summaries of what took place concerning election integrity. It’s not an option, not a choice but rather a decision to save the republic and by extension other peoples. It is my opinion that the Church is directly impacted as well.
A Clapham security guard has described the moment he was forced to lock customers inside the store as mobs of feral youths ran wild. The Metropolitan Police warned of more Easter holiday 'linkups' as teens tore through south London once again on Tuesday evening with terrified families barricaded inside high street stores in the latest wave of chaos. Clips circulating on social media showed crowds of children gathering in the neighbourhood, terrorising locals and forcing shops to close. Police vehicles could be seen desperately trying to move through the throng of rioters who took to the streets in broad daylight on Tuesday afternoon, responding to a social media trend encouraging teens to 'linkup' en masse. The force confirmed two teenage girls were arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker, and a dispersal order has been put in place. Marks and Spencer on the high street - which was looted by a similar flash mob over the weekend leading to two arrests - shut early amid …
Ten days ago, LifeSiteNews broke a story about then-Father Robert Prevost taking part in a Pachamama ritual in 1995. There seems little doubt that this unfortunate event did, in fact, take place and so, in honour of the occasion and in remembrance of the late Pope Francis, I offer the following article from 2019. It describes the culture of the indigenous Amazon tribes who worshipped, among a bloodthirsty pantheon, the goddess Pachamama. For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils – Psalm 95:5 The real ‘face of the Amazon’: a culture of …

For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils – Psalm 95:5 Infanticide and suicide have traditionally been part of the culture in many parts of the Amazon region. So why does the working document for October’s Pan-Amazon Synod suggest that the Catholic Church ‘puts on an Amazon face’? by Kathy Clubb The synod will focus on a group of countries that surround Latin America’s Amazon Basin; that is Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guyana, Guyana, Perú, Venezuela and Surinam. When announcing the synod, Pope Francis called on the Church to “find …
Can Pope Leo please explain why Christ did not promote any of the fertility goddesses present during his lifetime, and why He - ( Leo ) thinks this sort of glorification is Apostolic and according to the will of Yahweh? Key fertility goddesses worshipped during the 1st Century AD include: Cybele (Phrygia/Rome): Known as the "Magna Mater" (Great Mother), she was a Phrygian mother goddess imported to Rome, central to fertility rites. Tanit (North Africa/Berber): Worshipped in Carthage, she was associated with motherhood, fertility, and the moon, and continued to be worshipped until the spread of Christianity. Nerthus (Germanic tribes): Described by Tacitus in his 1st-century work Germania as a mother goddess associated with fertility and agriculture. Bona Dea ("The Good Goddess", Rome): A Roman goddess of fruitfulness in women and the earth, honored in all-female rituals. Fecunditas (Rome): A Roman goddess representing fertility and reproduction, particularly within the imperial family …More
Msgr. Edgard Iván Rimaycuna Inga, the Pope's Private Secretary, on Pope Leo XIV: "Everything is the same, because it has not changed. I could say it like this: only the clothing, which is now white, and the role has changed. The man we have all known is the same: approachable, calm, with a great capacity for listening and who is always available. Despite the large volume of work, the pace, the activities... he always finds time to meet people, to listen."
Madrid - In recent days, on the occasion of the defence of a friend’s doctoral thesis, the Reverend Monsignor Edgard Iván Rimaycuna Inga, personal secretary to Pope Leo XIV, gave a brief interview to Alfa y Omega, the weekly publication linked to the Archdiocese of Madrid. His words offer a portrait of a ministry lived in discretion at the Pope’s side, while also providing a direct glimpse of the human and pastoral style of Leo XIV: a man who, according to those who have known him for years, has remained close to people, sober, patient, and deeply shaped by the ecclesial experience of Latin America. What does it really mean to be the personal secretary to a Pope, in this case Leo XIV? It means working alongside a friend, in my particular case; being the one who helps him in his daily work and who protects him so that he can carry out that work in peace. My role is also to help him find and secure the rest he needs, so that the Holy Father may continue his mission of guiding the Church. …
01.04.2026 PENDING CANONICAL ISSUES -10 FRENCH BISHOPS ASSEMBLY/CONFC. VIOLATE CANON LAW Pope Leo sent a message to the French bishops for their General Assembly and cited education, the liturgy etc, all which have to be in harmony with Vatican Council II, irrational, the Council interpreted with the irrational and not rational premise and inference, to produce a fake, liberal conclusion. In other words, implicit cases of LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2,GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II must all be seen as explicit, known and visible examples salvation outside the Catholic Church and so objective exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442, which did not mention any exceptions. So the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Roman Missal at the Latin Mass would remain obsolete for Pope Leo and the French bishops. EDUCATION : So in schools, colleges and universities in France, they are not allowed to interpret Vatican Council II rationally i.e. LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3,…More
As I have written before war is oftentimes necessary. St. Michael fought Lucifer. The Crusades fought the Moslems. The United States fought for her freedom from England, and there was WWI and WWII, as well as the Civil War.
"PSALM 28 Bring to Our Lady, O ye sons of God: bring to Our Lady praise and reverence. Give strength to thy saints, O holy Mother: and thy blessing to those who praise and glorify thee. Hear the groans of those who sigh to thee: and despise not the prayers of those who invoke thy name. Let thy hand be ready to help me: and thy ear inclined to my prayer. Let the heavens and the earth bless thee: the sea and the world. Glory be to the Father, etc."
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD; Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (Aged 52-53); Cardinal; Teacher of the Faith; Seraphic Doctor; Doctor of the Church; Scholastic Theologian, Philosopher] “PSALM 25 Judge me, O Lady, for I have departed from my innocence: but because I have hoped in thee I shall not become weak. Enkindle my heart with the fire of thy love: and with the girdle of chastity bind my reins. For thy mercy and thy clemency are before my eyes: and I was delighted in the voice of thy praise. O Lady, I have loved the beauty of thy face: and I have revered thy sacred majesty. Praise ye her name, for she is holy: let her wonders be declared forever. Glory be to the Father, etc. PSALM 26 O Lady, may thy light be the splendor of my countenance: and let the serenity of thy grace shine upon my mind. Raise up my head: and I will sing a psalm to thy name. Turn not away thy face from me: for from my youth up I have greatly desired thy beauty and thy …More
