A statue of Christ was recently toppled by a vandal in a church in the Archdiocese of Utrecht in the Netherlands. According to Rorate-Caeli.blogspot.com, the parish is conservative. Confessions are heard for almost an hour every evening, alongside Eucharistic Adoration. Liturgical abuse is avoided. Father Elias Leyds - co-founder of EWTN Netherlands, who tragically committed suicide in 2024 - held sermons there condemning homosexual acts and abortion.
A video is going viral of a vandal toppling a statue of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a church in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
"Satan’s masterstroke consists in this: obtaining from us an irrational assent in the face of the evidence of his deceptions, which we recognize as such but nevertheless accept as true, in an act of mad, suicidal pride." - The Catholic Shepherd
The conflict began when, on May 28, 2024, an Egyptian court ruled that the monastery’s property belongs to Egypt and must be supervised by its Ministries of Antiquities and Environment, although the monks could remain. Meanwhile, within the monastery itself, 12 of the 22 monks revolted against their abbot, Archbishop Damianos, who had led since 1974. The rebellion centered on whether the monastery should remain autonomous (as Damianos and the Patriarchate of Constantinople claimed) or be under the spiritual authority of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, led by Theophilos III. As tensions escalated: Greece passed a law establishing a new legal entity to manage the monastery’s assets, worsening divisions among the monks. Both the Greek and Egyptian governments entered negotiations. Violent unrest broke out at the monastery in late August, and several monks were expelled. On September 8, the Patriarchate of Jerusalem deposed Damianos, but he simultaneously resigned and announced …More
Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti is criticising the Vatican for installing a prayer room for Muslims in the Vatican Apostolic Library. He told LifeSiteNews.com on October 28 that Islam is expansive,"wants absolute dominance" and is "inherently intolerant": "It has caused Christianity to disappear everywhere." Bishop Eleganti asked why Muslims need to pray in the Vatican when there are large mosques in Rome. He added that conversely, one would never allow Christians to set up a chapel in Mecca, Islam's holiest site, where they could celebrate Mass. Furthermore, Islam is "deliberately conceived in an anti-Christian sense": "It's a total polemic against Jesus' divine sonship and against his absolute significance as mediator between man and God the Father." Islam "denies the Trinity" and "Christians worldwide suffer persecution at the hands of Muslims". The Vatican is portraying "a purely emotional religion: we are friendly, open and tolerant, and have a welcoming culture and are open to dialogue …More
Wow, never thought I would hear this coming from a bishop these days. What he says is the truth. Islam was the trial run for Protestantism, conceived on a bed of lies by a madman (madmen). There is zero truth in any of these.
A woman in England is trying to pray in peace before the Blessed Sacrament only for this Muslim to tell her to read the Quran as he then recites Islamic prayers from the Altar, before having the temerity to say that he respects all religions. Absolutely disgusting.

A Mexican Soundtrack for American Football A Mexican Soundtrack for American Football As professional athletes grunted on the football field below, a group of 10 musicians blared into trumpets, sang proudly and glided bows across violin strings. Instead of helmets and shoulder pads, they wore custom-embroidered suits known as trajes de charro, the traditional outfit for a mariachi band. The group known as the Mariachi Rams performs three times during Los Angeles Rams home games, their music displayed on SoFi Stadium’s large video board. “It's something that resonates with a lot of the audience,” said Crystal Hernandez, who plays violin in the band and is the daughter of its founder. “Any special event that happens in L.A. or in Mexico, you'll see a mariachi there — any family function, quinceañera, wedding, even funerals.” After the Rams relocated from St. Louis in 2016, the N.F.L. franchise began integrating elements of the Los Angeles region’s character. The city is about 150 miles …More

Marking 60 years since Vatican II’s document Gravissimum educationis, Pope Leo XIV published on October 28 his apostolic letter Disegnare nuove mappe di speranza (“Drawing New Maps of Hope”). He uses many evasive phrases to deceive conservatives. A beautiful example is: 'The family remains the primary place of education. Catholic schools collaborate with parents; they do not replace them”. However, Leo XIV also names the “star that guides” him: the 2020 Global Compact on Education (10.1): “I gratefully accept this prophetic legacy entrusted to us by Pope Francis.” “It is an invitation to form an alliance and network to educate for universal fraternity.” This Pact was created in collaboration with anti-Catholic international authorities, including UNESCO, UNICEF, UNDP, OECD, the World Bank and environmental organisations connected with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. . Leo XIV wants to “renew the economy and politics in the service of humanity; and caring for our common home …More
John 15: 19-21 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the Word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my Word, they will also keep yours. But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know Him who sent Me."
Will You Enter the Narrow Gate to Heaven? The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of striving to enter through the narrow gate to heaven, highlighting the higher accountability of those who have been given the fullness of truth. While acknowledging human weakness and the inevitability of sin, the focus should be on living a life centered on God, striving to serve Him, and relying on His grace for salvation. By doing so, one can achieve the most wonderful thing: eternal life in heaven. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.
