Staff Writer May 4, 2026 News Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors. So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses. The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb. The archdiocese claims that “even though we have paid them over $2 billion in premiums by today’s standards, [Chubb] is now attempting to evade their legal and moral contractual obligation to settle covered claims which would bring peace and healing to victim-survivors.” Chubb …
Tulsi Gabbard dropped a bombshell: "Joe Biden was not calling the shots.. and neither was Kamala Harris" in charge. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and the Deep State using the Autopen to run the Joe Biden Presidency."
This is one of the unknown miracles of the Tilma of Guadalupe: The stars on her mantle aren't decoration, they are a music. The stars on the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe perfectly align with the constellations over Mexico on December 12, 1531. The stars are arranged in emmission (as if viewed from outside the solar system, looking toward Earth) rather than reflection (as seen from Earth's surface looking up). But there is a hidden code. If you take the position of the stars and the flowers on her dress and place them on a musical staff, they create a perfect, harmonious melody. It is literally a song from Heaven. Listen:

Co-produced with glyphosate. Another collaboration reminiscent of agent orange in Vietnam and Monsanto. A look into the inner workings of non-Catholic "just war" theology. When the west and Saddam used chemical weapons against Iran in the 1980's, Iran never retaliated in kind.
1. The Dire State of the Church Today It is common knowledge that since the revolution of Vatican II, the enemies of God, through their words and deeds, have worked tirelessly to destroy the Catholic Faith. Through teachings contrary to the Faith of our Fathers, through revolutionary changes in the liturgy, and through false interreligious dialogue, they have accomplished the wildest dreams of all those who, for centuries, have conspired to destroy the Church of the Incarnate Word. They attacked the Faith at the Second Vatican Council by substantially changing the holy doctrine of the Church. They attacked the sacraments and, in particular, the rites of priestly ordination and episcopal consecration. They transformed the Mass, turning it into a Protestant worship service. They perverted canon law, traditional devotions, and all the other treasures of the Holy Church. To make these great evils worse still, it may be said without fear of being mistaken that these enemies of God have found …More
'V.R.S. Proszę w miejsce słowa "Kościół" zamieścić słowo "Chrystus". Co rozumie pan przez zdanie "straszny stan Kościoła dzisiaj"?. Jaki Kościół ma pan na myśli? Itd, itd. Dzisiaj słowo "kościół" jest tożsame ze słowem "zbór", "synagoga", "meczet" itd. Czy rzeczywiście Chrystus/Kościół/ ukrzyżowany jest STRASZNY ???
May 2nd - Saint of the Day: Saint Antoninus of Florence, Archbishop & Dominican Friar Florence had wealth, power, politics, status, and scandal. Then came Saint Antoninus. A tiny Dominican friar with a giant soul, he became Archbishop of Florence and refused to live like a prince. He wore the Dominican habit, cared for plague victims, reformed corrupt clergy, challenged greed, and quietly helped the “hidden poor” who were too ashamed to beg. He was so wise that people called him the “Angel of Counsel.” Princes, priests, merchants, and ordinary Catholics came to him when life got morally messy. And his whole life can be summed up in one line: “To serve God is to reign.” That hits different in a world obsessed with clout, comfort, and control. Saint Antoninus reminds us that real power is holiness. Real leadership is service. Real wealth is mercy. And real freedom begins when God gets the throne back.

Sant' Antonino Pierozzi (di Firenze) Vescovo - Festa: 2 maggio Firenze, 1389 - 2 maggio 1459 Fu domenicano a quindici anni e, divenuto sacerdote, fu priore a Cortona, a Fiesole, a Roma, a Napoli, ricoprendo nel frattempo la carica di Vicario generale dei Frati Riformati. Fondò la Societrà dei Buonomini di San Martino per i poveri bisognosi. Divenne arcivescovo di Firenze prodigandosi durante la peste. All’attività apostolica e agli incarichi di cui era gravato, unì un intenso studio e la realizzazione di opere che ebbero carattere giuridico-morale. Egli fu il primo a tentare una sintesi tra il diritto e la teologia, raccogliendo quanto riteneva utile al ministero della predicazione, della confessione e della direzione, per offrire una soluzione cristiana ai molti problemi del suo tempo. Etimologia: Antonino (come Antonio) = nato prima, o che fa fronte ai suoi avversari, dal gre Emblema: Bastone pastorale, Portamonete Martirologio Romano: A Firenze, sant’Antonino, vescovo, che, dopo …More
Maxpein @maximumpain333 Scientists hooked electrodes up to Tibetan monks during deep meditation — expecting to see relaxed, quiet brain activity. What they recorded instead stopped them cold. Gamma waves. At amplitudes never measured in any normal human brain before. Levels so high that researchers hadn't even considered them possible to sustain in a conscious person. These monks weren't just calm. Their brains were operating on a frequency that didn't exist in scientific literature until that moment. But here's the part that should make you stop scrolling. These monks weren't doing anything new. The practices they were using — the specific meditation techniques, the concentrated attention, the precise mental training — were thousands of years old. Passed down through lineages that stretch back further than most recorded history. Tibetan Buddhist traditions had been deliberately training the mind this way for centuries before a single neuroscientist existed on this planet. They didn't …More
The Lord Holds Us by the Hand: Private Homilies, Seasons and Feasts Pope Benedict XVI
Der Herr hält uns an der Hand: Private Predigten, Feste und Jahreszeiten von Papst Benedikt XVI. (Autor) Was lehrte und predigte Papst Benedikt XVI. abseits des Rampenlichts, hinter verschlossenen Türen, im Kreise seiner Freunde? Wie verstand er in seinen späten Jahren, nachdem der Trubel des Papsttums verstummt war, die Heilige Schrift, Jesus, den Heiligen Geist und das christliche Leben? Was sagte er über den Kern seiner eigenen Spiritualität, wenn er Raum für Verletzlichkeit hatte? In „Der Herr hält uns an der Hand“ begegnet uns eine andere Seite von Joseph Ratzinger. Diese Sammlung privater Predigten – allesamt in kleinen Kapellen gehalten, während seiner Zeit als Papst und emeritierter Papst – offenbart keinen „distanzierten Exegeten“, wie sein langjähriger Sekretär, Erzbischof Gänswein, bemerkt, sondern einen Christen in „lebendiger Gemeinschaft“ mit Gott. In diesen Meditationen, die bisher noch nie in englischer Sprache veröffentlicht wurden, verschmelzen Exegese, Theologie,…More
In his book Popes, Dollars, and War, Italian journalist Massimo Franco claims that Leo XIV was elected, in part, to help bring American donors and dollars back to the Vatican. Franco found an anonymous cardinal who said that "the combination of doctrine and dollars won". And: "The American bishops were tired of being criticised [under Francis] and decided to make themselves heard [...] The new incentive is money, first used against Francis and then in the conclave to elect Prevost." During the pre-conclave meetings, Japanese cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi said: "Are politics involved in the Conclave? No, I don’t think so. But maybe money." Cardinal Reinhard Marx dedicated a full day of the pre-conclave discussion to the Holy See’s finances. Cardinal Müller responded back then, "Enough! We have to elect the successor of Peter, not Judas!" At a book presentation in Rome on 27 April, Cardinal Gerhard Müller rejected the hypothesis that money played a role in Leo XIV’s election with an outright …More
