Have you ever paused to look at the wrinkles on your mother’s face and felt a sudden lump in your throat, knowing that time spares no one? In your relationship with your parents, don’t fall into the petty trap of keeping score. Avoid thinking bitterly: “Why should I be the one to step up when my brother Alejandro doesn’t lift a finger?” or “If they don’t help, why should all the burden fall on me?” Always remember this: caring for your aging parents is not a group school project where you wait for everyone to participate before starting. It is an act of purely individual love. Your devotion and loyalty should not be conditioned by what anyone else is doing. Being there for them—crossing the threshold of their home—matters deeply, even if you are the only one who does it. And it’s almost never about money. In the end, the most valuable things you can offer them are not found in a bank account. They are found in: Your physical presence. Sitting down to have breakfast with them, maybe …More
Wounded Art: Bishop Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck, Austria, has encircled a loaned statue of the Sacred Heart from Vienna’s Votive Church with string lights. Entitled “Wounded Light”, the result is on display at an exhibition in the Kunsthaus Mürzzuschlag from 25 April to 14 June 2026. The bishop's Instagram post reads: “On the polished surface of the figure are auratic cones of light, sites of inflammation, and light-shy wounds.” On Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV received Bishop Glettler after the general audience.

When the disciples had spoken to Heli of Hebron, the latter went back into the house by the court, but they turned to the right, and hastened down the north side of the hill, through Sion. They passed over a bridge, and walking along a road covered with brambles, reached the other side of the ravine, which was in front of the Temple, and of the row of houses which were to the south of that building. There stood the house of the aged Simeon, who died in the Temple after the presentation of our Lord; and his sons, some of whom were disciples of Jesus in secret, were actually living there. The Apostles spoke to one of them, a tall …More
The historic Église Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach, France, was just set on fire. Survived both world wars but couldn’t survive diversity.
L’église Saint-Cyriaque de Montenach a été gravement endommagée par un incendie le 30 avril 2026. Le feu, probablement parti d’une zone végétalisée voisine, s’est propagé à la toiture sous l’effet du vent, détruisant une grande partie de la charpente et provoquant l’effondrement partiel du clocher. Aucun blessé n’est à déplorer. Les causes exactes restent à déterminer.

05/02/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. A title like that fits practically any topic that might come to mind. The carbon tax, the fight against the economic decline caused by the authorities’ “rescue measures” in the area of migration, global warming, which is currently heading in a direction that threatens the planet with apocalyptic cold waves. One could go on and on with this list. This whole circus boils down to one thing: governments are serving us, on a silver platter, a solution to problems that would never have arisen in the first place without the active involvement of these very governments. It’s as simple as building a flail. A flail is an agricultural hand tool used for threshing, the process of separating grains from their husks. It can also be used for military purposes being made in the same way as a threshing-flail but much stronger and furnished with iron spikes. Source. Yes, it’s simple—but not for everyone. I still come across people who are firmly convinced …
On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text: "There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.' What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter? Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions? Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …More
Cardinal DiNardo, of Galveston-Houston, was born in 1949. He retired and was replaced by his coadjutor, named by Francis, in 2025. Cardinal Dolan, of New York, was born in 1950. He was replaced by Leo XIV very shortly after turning 75, in 2025. There is one Cardinal who is older than both of them, and who is still in charge. And not just any cardinal: a horrible administrator, a lousy shepherd, and an ideological nightmare, who, though a native of Nebraska, has been the Archbishop of the pope's own birthplace: Chicago. A formerly exemplary American Catholic town, whose diocese is falling apart.

From Newsweek Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump's actions. Washington auxiliary bishop Evelio Menjivar has been named as the new bishop for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia, according to the Catholic Standard. Father Gary Studniewski and Father Robert Boxie III have also been named as new auxiliary bishops for the Archdiocese of Washington. Menjivar previously criticized the Trump administration's immigration policies, writing in the the National Catholic Reporter last April: "the federal government has pursued a 'shock and awe' campaign of aggressive threats and highly visible operations of questionable legality that go far beyond mere immigration 'enforcement.'" Boxie previously expressed concern over Trump's efforts to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across the U.S. "In a lot of ways we have made great progress, but in so many ways, I feel like we're regressing," Boxie …More
From Diocese of Corpus Christi At the age of 102, Bishop René Henry Gracida passed away on the morning of May 1, 2026. Bishop Mario Avilés wrote, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bishop Emeritus René Henry Gracida. He served as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Corpus Christi from 1983 until 1997. We are deeply grateful for his faithful service as our shepherd for 14 years.” Previously, he was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee in Florida (1975–1983) and as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Miami in Florida (1971–1975). Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on June 9, 1923, Gracida was the second child of Enrique J. Gracida Carrizosa, a Mexican architect and engineer, and Mathilde Derbes, a fifth-generation French American Cajun. His great uncle was a vicar general of a diocese in Mexico. As a teenager, Gracida was fascinated by the Jesuit martyrs portrayed in James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans. During World War …More
“Leo XIV lies, blasphemes and deceives the Church” - Miles Christi - 04/30/2025. “Your Grace, in thanking you for your visit today, I pray that the same Holy Spirit will remain with you always, making you fruitful in the service to which you have been called.” - To Her Grace Sarah Mullally, Archbishop of … “In asking the Lord to strengthen you with the gift of wisdom, I pray that you may be guided by the Holy Spirit in serving your communities, and draw inspiration from the example of Mary, the Mother of God.

“Your Grace” Prevost maliciously used the name of the Holy Spirit and the name of Christ to endorse the heretical Anglican woman who poses as a bishop. This sin of malice against the Holy Spirit demonstrates that he is a blasphemer and a false prophet. The impostor Robert Prevost, mocking the male priesthood instituted by Christ, began his speech by addressing the heretic Sarah Mullally—disguised as a bishop—: “Your Grace...” Let us recall that the heretical figure of the Anglican sect—the Archbishop of Canterbury—is equivalent to a “synodal pope”: *first among equals*. Primus inter pares. «Primus inter pares The Archbishop of Canterbury holds a unique position as the first among equals within the Anglican Communion. This title, often referred to as "Primus inter pares," signifies that while the Archbishop is formally equal to other bishops, they also possess significant leadership roles and influence within the Communion. The Archbishop serves as an Instrument of Communion, …More
Instead of fostering unity, the heretic—disguised as a bishop—Sarah Mullally (pro-homosexual, pro-abortion) has provoked division within the Anglican sect itself, as she holds positions contrary to the Scriptures. She contradicts the male priesthood instituted by Christ and, furthermore, defends immoral views that openly defy God's natural law, the Commandments, and Jesus Christ Himself.
