The low-budget film Sacré Coeur has become a box office success in France, drawing over 400,000 viewers since October 1. Focused on the 17th-century apparitions to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, it blends reenactments, testimonies, and expert input. MediaTransports — the advertising agency for SNCF and RATP — rejected a planned metro and train-station poster campaign, calling the project “religious and proselytizing.” An October 22 screening at the Château de La Buzine, a municipal cinema, was also canceled for allegedly violating France’s secularism rules. Still, lines grow weekly. Jesuits have objected that the film ignores their historical role in spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart.

"Lo! this is a fruit of hell, which grows from their unbelief; and therewith shall unbelief be nourished even in death. For, when the time has come and their nature is weighed down with bitter woe and the sorrow of death, then they are filled with images and unrest and inward fear; and they lose their vacant introversion in quietude, and fall into such despair that none can console them, and they die like mad dogs."
[BLESSED JAN VAN RUYSBROEK – XIII-XIV Century AD; Ruisbroek, Holy Roman Empire/ Groenendael, Holy Roman Empire; Mystic, Spiritual Writer, Doctor Divinus Ecstaticus] Chapter IV - OF THE MEN WHO PRACTISE A FALSE VACANCY “BEHOLD, such folk, by means of a onefold simplification and a natural tendency, are turned in upon the bareness of their own being; and therefore they think eternal life is and shall be nought else but an enduring state of beatitude, without distinction in order in holiness or in reward. Yea, all such are so deep in error that they say that the Persons shall pass away into the Godhead, and that nought else shall remain in eternity than the essential substance of the Godhead; and that all blessed spirits shall be so simply absorbed with God in the Essential Blessedness that nothing shall remain beside it, neither willing nor working, nor the discerning knowledge of any creature whatsoever. Behold, these men have gone astray into the vacant and blind simplicity of their …More
Today, Pope Leo XIV delivered a lengthy speech to the Italian bishops gathered in Assisi that was full of empty, pious words. He admitted that his guidelines for the Church "correspond to the perspectives that emerged during the synodal journey of the Church in Italy". However, the Italian Synod accepted homosexuality and female deacons in October. Pope Leo XIV commented: "It is now up to you, bishops, to outline the pastoral guidelines for the coming years." He hopes that a "synodal spirit" will develop. At the same time, he announced the merger of Italian dioceses. For Leo XIV, synodality requires communion among the bishops and the Pope, as well as "attentive listening and serious discernment of the requests that come from the people of God" [=media]. He wants to promote the greater participation of the people in the consultation process for the appointment of new bishops. Furthermore: "A synodal Church [...] needs to renew itself continually. We must avoid allowing inertia, even …More
I firmly reject synodality and the synodal church! I believe in God the Most Holy Trinity Father Son Holy Spirit, and in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. This synodal pope and his cardinals and bishops can go jump in the Tiber! The synodal church only exists in the demonic secularized imaginations of the heretics and apostates that have invaded Rome. To hell with them!
The move follows several acts of railway sabotage in Poland, which local authorities were quick to blame on Russia. Moscow has accused Poland of Russophobia and has vowed s to respond by reducing Polish diplomatic and consular presence in Russia. RT reports: Sikorski announced the decision in an address to the Polish parliament on Wednesday, according to the Foreign Ministry. He added that Poland does not intend to sever diplomatic ties with Russia. Bill Clinton's Black Son Drops Bombshell: "Pizzagate Is Real" Responding to the closure, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow would mirror the step, reducing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Poland currently maintains an embassy with a consular section in Moscow and a consulate in Irkutsk in Siberia. The decision follows two railway sabotage incidents on Sunday and Monday targeting lines used to transport Western military aid to Ukraine. In at least one of the cases, a military-grade C4 explosive …
By Emily Mangiaracina A 25-year period of ‘peace among men’ indicated in the La Salette prophecy has come to pass, contrary to common belief, meaning we're likely closer to the Antichrist than many think. How close is the Antichrist? If you’re a Christian, you probably don’t think he’s very far off, as in hundreds of years away. Many think he is coming in our lifetime. But if you’re a Catholic familiar with the prophecy of Our Lady of La Salette, there’s a good chance you don’t think he’s imminent — because we haven’t yet had the 25 years of “peace” and “plentiful harvests.” Or have we? The opinion that we haven’t lived through those 25 years was recently shared by exorcist Father Chad Ripperger, a gem of the Church and a wealth of spiritual knowledge. Admittedly, when I heard he said this, I was perplexed. He is among the best and brightest of the Church. But the Christian faith of the world is so abysmal right now (U.S. faith levels have dropped to the lowest on record), and …More
Reasonable interpretation. But the conclusion is bullet proof: "We should without delay make it a top priority to live in a state of grace, and grow as close to God as possible in prayer and in our moral life. We must fervently pray for those not living in a state of grace, and for priests at risk of succumbing to the religious deception of the Antichrist. We must frequent the sacraments often, and call upon the intercession of our good Mother, Mediatrix of all Grace."
Khashoggi was long time Washington Post columnist known for his criticism of the Saudi kingdom. He was assassinated and dismembered at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018, after going there to get paperwork for his upcoming marriage. But according to veteran reporter Bob Woodward, Trump once bragged about protecting Salman from Congressional scrutiny after the killing, which Trump’s own CIA pinned on the crown prince. “I saved his ass,” Trump is quoted as saying in Woodward’s book, Rage. “I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop.” The Saudi royal, however, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and told reporters on Tuesday: “We did all the right steps in terms of investigation, etc. in Saudi Arabia and we’ve improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that.” Trump was also forced to defend his family’s business interests in Saudi Arabia, insisting he had no conflicts of interest as president because he had “nothing to …More
