[Dionysius the Areopagite – I Century AD; Hieromartyr and Bishop of Athens; Converted by St. Paul] “Chapter II That Divine and Celestial matters are fittingly revealed even through unlike symbols. I consider, then, that in the first place we must explain our conception of the purpose of each Hierarchy and the good conferred by each upon its followers; secondly we must celebrate the Celestial Hierarchies as they are revealed in the Scriptures; and finally we must say under what holy figures the descriptions in the sacred writings portray those Celestial Orders, and to what kind of purity we ought to be guided through those forms lest we, like the many, should impiously suppose that those Celestial and Divine Intelligences are many-footed or many-faced beings, or formed with the brutishness of oxen, or the savageness of lions, or the curved beaks of eagles, or the feathers of birds, or should imagine that they are some kind of fiery wheels above the heavens, or material thrones upon which …More
"Celestial and Divine Intelligences are many-footed or many-faced beings, or formed with the brutishness of oxen, or the savageness of lions, or the curved beaks of eagles, or the feathers of birds, or should imagine that they are some kind of fiery wheels above the heavens, or material thrones upon which the Supreme Deity may recline, or many-coloured horses, or commanders of armies, or whatever else of symbolic description has been given to us in the various sacred images of the Scriptures."
In a separate post on X late on Tuesday, Tinubu said he has ordered a full security cordon over the forests in Kwara State in response to the kidnappings and acts of terrorism. “The Air Force is to maintain continuous surveillance over the most remote areas, synchronizing operations with ground units to effectively identify, isolate, disrupt, and neutralize all hostile elements,” he wrote.
Wed Nov 26, 2025 - 12:01 am ESTWed Nov 26, 2025 - 5:51 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — God often brings the world to those who flee from it, as Sylvester Gozzolini among others experienced. In the thirteenth century, the world, all in admiration at the sanctity and the eloquence of the new orders, seemed to have forgotten the monks and the desert. God, who never forgets, led his elect silently into solitude, and the wilderness began again to rejoice and flourish like the lily; strength was restored to the weak hands and feeble knees (Isaiah 35:1-3) of the sons of the cloister. The austerities of olden days and the fervor of prolonged prayer were revived at Monte Fano, and extended into sixty other monasteries; the new religious family of the Sylvestrians was approved by Innocent IV in 1247. Though originated seven centuries after St. Benedict, and distinguished from the elder families by its blue habit, it claims the Patriarch of Cassino for its legislator and father. Let us read the life …
Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments. Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Łódź as the new Archbishop of Kraków in Poland. Born in Krakow in 1964, he was ordained as a priest in 1988. In 2011, Benedict XVI appointed him as an auxiliary bishop of Krakow. Pope Francis named him archbishop of Łódź in 2017 and cardinal in September 2023. Francis' man in Poland Edward Pentin described Cardinal Ryś on CollegeOfCardinalsReport.com as an extremely liberal bishop and as Poland’s "Pope Francis man". "His elevation to the cardinalate was seen as a reward and encouragement for his attempts to reform Poland's conservative Church." Pentin added that, since Ryś became a member of the Congregation for Bishops in October 2023, new bishops in Poland have been more progressive than their predecessors. Like Cardinal Ryś, they all strongly promote the Church’s new synodal way. In October 2023, Cardinal Ryś said that opposition to Pope Francis is "completely unjust" and "always based on one or two phrases taken out of …More
Overflow With Grace Before The Hour Comes The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the Lord’s return, not by focusing on our own salvation, but by striving to love God more. This love should be pure and selfless, not driven by personal gain or comparison to others, but by a genuine desire to reciprocate God’s love. By focusing on loving God more, we naturally align ourselves with His will and ensure our readiness for His return. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

What the communists would like to see on the American right is disregard for Christian decency and the trampling down of civilized principles. Communism, like antisemitism, is a demagogic scam that attracts power-hungry misfits like Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, and Stew Peters. In Moscow the bosses are saying to each other, “If only these American misfits could have more influence. How can this be assured?” It is a case of new misfits for old:Fuentes for the Malicious Dwarf (Goebbels), Field Marshal Douglas Macgregor for Goering, and Stew Peters for Julius Streicher. As Marx said, history repeats itself: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Russia will support the misfits –until they have served their purpose.
Europe and America’s great enemy is Russia. Vladimir Putin does not want us to discover the “golden mean.” He wants to encourage an extreme woke view on the left, and a Himmler-type view on the right.
thanks for share it!! my great online friend, brotehr @Jeffrey Ade yes... I am absolutely convinced that we need to break free from the anti-Semitic framework. As I have said many times, we do not hate or detest ordinary Jews, but rather respect them... However, we strongly criticize the false Zionists, and I know that even many Jews are against the false Zionists, and oppose the part where the false Zionists massacre innocent Palestinians and oppress the Christian communities in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Armenia... If it is that damn anti-Semitic framework, does that mean all those Jews are anti-Semites?? so disgusting.... Let me emphasize once again that I am convinced that the term "Judeo-Christian civilization" should never be used again... Every time I hear it, I feel sick. I believe it was widely used in the past, but there's absolutely no reason to use it now... The false Zionists have absolutely no respect for the Christian community. I'm truly infuriated to hear …More
Russia is not Europe and America's enemy. In Europe only the European Commission, which is controlled by the deep state, and the liberal/communist rabble in the European Parliament say so. They are orders of magnitude worse than during the communist era before 1990. --- And you constantly change the lead of your posts, so you are similar to them. You are frivolous, and this technique is dishonest, like Satan... but I'd rather not write any more, I'll just follow you and ban you.
