The 13th-century Torre dei Conti partially collapsed today during ongoing restoration works. The medieval tower is located in central Rome near the Roman Forum and just a two-minute walk from the Dominican university Angelicum. One worker was injured. A secondary collapse occurred during rescue operations, further complicating efforts because of the tower’s instability. Originally rising to about 50–60 metres, the Torre dei Conti today stands at roughly 29 metres. It was reduced over the centuries by earthquakes.
Il Medioevo crolla: La torre alta 29 metri, magnifico esempio delle torri medievali romane che fungevano sia da abitazioni che da fortezze per le famiglie baronali e le autorità ecclesiastiche, è appena crollata.

Why is Italian Catholicism dying? Why is Italy itself dying? - "The last Italian synodal assembly have overwhelmingly approved a document that explicitly encourages support in civil LGBT events, such as the Gay Pride marches." - writes @Gaetano Masciullo

After a massive wildfire swept through a rural area near Pine Hollow, search teams were sent out to look for surviving animals. Most of what they found were ashes and silence, until one rescuer entered a burnt warehouse and froze. There, beneath a scorched desk, lay a young fawn and a small bobcat, curled up against each other. Both were trembling, covered in soot, and exhausted. Yet instead of fear, they had chosen closeness. The bobcat’s paw rested on the fawn’s neck, as if guarding it through the smoke and chaos. When the rescuers approached, neither animal tried to run. They were gently lifted and taken to a rehabilitation center, where their unlikely bond only deepened. They shared food, warmth, and rest healing together, as though they understood that survival was something they had to do side by side. Caretakers watched in awe as two creatures that nature designed to be enemies became inseparable friends. Weeks later, when they were strong enough, they were moved to a wildlife …More
Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, aged 96 and sitting in a wheelchair, received Holy Communion in his mouth during Mass, which was celebrated by Cardinal Burke in St Peter's Basilica on 26 October. After Mass, Cardinal Burke warmly greeted the two other present Cardinals Brandmüller and Ernest Simoni, 97.
Faithful princes of the Church all share one trait: they received Holy Communion on the tongue without question.
On 30 October, the German Bishops’ Conference published a guide urging Catholic schools to incorporate homosexual ideology. The title is: 'Created, Redeemed and Seduced Loved: Visibility and recognition of sexual identity diversity in schools”. In it, the bishops adopt the vocabulary and assumptions of gender ideology (queer, non-binary, cis, heteronormativity). They blaspheme that God willed homosexual lifestyles. Main problematic quotes, shortened for clarity. - The primacy of love orders all other perspectives – including sexual-moral ones. - Being loved in creation and redemption applies to the human person in all his or her diversity – including the diversity of sexual identities. - Queer persons … whose gender identity and/or sexual orientation are not covered by the spectrum of cis or heterosexual people. - Critique of heteronormativity … challenges the notion that heterosexuality is the normative ideal. - Developments in between are not pathological disorders but different …More
NOVEMBER 3 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 14,12-14. On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees. He said to the host who invited him, "When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
THE PLURALITY OF PERSONS IN GOD (FOUR ARTICLES) We are now led to consider the plurality of the persons: about which there are four points of inquiry: (1) Whether there are several persons in God? (2) How many are they? (3) What the numeral terms signify in God? (4) The community of the term “person.” 1-Whether there are several persons in God? Objection 1: It would seem that there are not several persons in God. For person is “the individual substance of a rational nature.” If then there are several persons in God, there must be several substances; which appears to be heretical. Objection 2: Further, Plurality of absolute properties does not make a distinction of persons, either in God, or in ourselves. Much less therefore is this effected by a plurality of relations. But in God there is no plurality but of relations ([255]Q[28], A[3]). Therefore there cannot be several persons in God. Objection 3: Further, Boethius says of God (De Trin. i), that “this is truly one which has no number …More
PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER AFRAID OF SIN BECAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER AFRAID OF HELL In our time, the reality of hell has become unpopular, even within Christian circles. Many dismiss it as outdated fear-mongering or symbolic language. But this neglect has had a tragic consequence: when people stop believing in hell, they stop taking sin seriously. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: “The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell” (CCC 1035). If hell is denied, then sin is reduced to a minor fault or a personal weakness, rather than the deadly rebellion against God that it is. St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars, once said: “The greatest tragedy is not sinners falling into hell, but Christians no longer fearing it.” Similarly, Pope Pius XII warned in 1946: “The sin of the century is the loss of the sense of sin.” This loss of the sense of sin is tied directly to …More
"What Pope Leo XIV has done since becoming Pope has become utterly depressing," said Mother Miriam, prioress of the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel's Hope, in a recent video on social media. Initially, some good things were shared, and conservatives gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited. However, Mother Miriam no longer doubts: "He has supported the LGBTQ+ agenda, and that is the agenda for which our Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. He wrote in the Scriptures that no homosexual will enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
Perhaps Prevost is no Bergoglio, as he is quiet and doesn’t insults catholics like Bergoglio did, but his fuits speaks volumes of whom he really is... a false prophet. Mother Miriam out of kindness, wont go that far, but Jesus told us about whoever claims to come of Him, but in reality is a false prophet, He says to look at their fruits. * The majority of Leo's appointments are pro gay and un-catholic minded. * He already was excommunicated by promoting his elevation to the papacy through various means. * He did betray our Lord by saying we don’t have the entire truth. * Pushing Francis apostasy and heresies on unsuspecting catholics. * Persecution and closure,through third parties, of the Latin Mass. * Promoting false deities. * Promoting false religions. * Promoting a false church (synodal), instead of the the one our Forefathers taught and even died for. * Promoting mother earth and climate change lunacy. * Promoting arianism to the entire world. * And on and on... Again, this is …More
Mother Miriam is a truly faithful Catholic and religious in our times - how few there are! She has more courage than the silent, effeminate cardinals who are prancing around - saying nothing - in the wake of the apostasy that continues under Leo XIV. Thank you, Mother Miriam! May Our Lord and Our Lady bless you richly for your manly witness to the Catholic and Apostolic Faith! Our Lord told St. Teresa of Avila that He wanted her sisters to "be as strong as men!" Courageous leadership is needed from both women and men -- we used to have it in such great religious as Mother Angelica. Now, we have it in Mother Miriam! Thanks be to God!
