In September 2024, a German general practitioner wrote to eleven German-speaking cardinals and bishops, as well as the conservative Cistercian abbey of Heiligenkreuz near Vienna, Austria. His aim was to propose a redefinition of the concept of protecting human life—one that would recognize human life from the moment an egg and sperm fuse. The outcome: He received evasive replies from the prelates Rainer Maria Woelki (Cologne), Bertram Meier (Augsburg), Reinhard Marx (Munich), and Rudolf Voderholzer (Regensburg), all of whom sidestepped the issue. No reply at all came from Stephan Burger (Freiburg) and Christoph Schönborn (then still Archbishop of Vienna), from Heiligenkreuz Abbey, or from the German Bishops' Conference - which had in fact received three letters. Bishop Stefan Oster (Passau) forwarded the letter to the German Bishops' Conference. The then-bishop Gregor Hanke (Eichstätt) and Cardinal Gerhard Müller responded positively. Cardinal Müller replied in April 2025 about "the …More
Dan 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28 When people stray from God's love, they draw closer to evil. And the more people who join in, the more excesses there are. Every day, if possible, let us return to God's love, let us rediscover joy within ourselves. And let us improve the plan of our existence. Luke 21:12-19 Jesus says, "You will be hated by all because of my name." In our time, we could say that people who have strayed from God's Love are harming themselves, and this will harm others, and to us. It is necessary to entrust these people and their difficulties to the Lord. Then we say: Thank you, Lord, for your Love that passes through my heart, into the hearts of my family, my friends, and humanity. We have just freed ourselves, and this frees these people, and humanity. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

The newspaper Le Parisientook a look at the best-selling books in France, both online and in bookshops. The conclusion is clear: the top spot goes to a trio of conservative authors and political figures, Philippe de Villiers, Éric Zemmour and Jordan Bardella. To be precise, the best-selling author in France at the moment is an American, Freida McFadden, who writes successful thrillers. But when it comes to political books, the result is unequivocal and reflects the French people’s clear preference for right-wing ideas. Jordan Bardella, president of the Rassemblement National (RN), has already sold nearly 42,000 copies of his programme-narrative, Ce que veulent les Français (What the French Want), published on October 29th. He is almost on a par with Éric Zemmour and his essay on France’s Catholic identity, La Messe n’est pas dite (The Mass Is Not Said), released on October 22nd and already selling 45,000 copies. Both are surpassed by the latest work by sovereigntist Philippe de …

I would like to bring to your attention the episode of the program which was broadcast on one of the big Russian channels on the 1st of October, 2012. In this program journalist Andrey Karaulov tells about the episode which happened to Vladimir Putin in 1989 in Dresden, and was unknown till the program went on the air. At that time Putin was KGB lieutenant-colonel. The author of the program is absolutely sure that this situation was not made up since thousands of Dresden citizens became the witnesses of this event, and the story of how it all happened may be heard almost in any bar of Dresden. In 1991 President Putin left the KGB. Vladimir Putin. Unknown episode of life [english subtitles]
After making a comment about this is the sort of story they don't want us to know. It was buried so deeply my fingers were hurting and stiff. I would love to know who it is that doesn't want anyone to know the truth?
Samba-Singing Bishop Accompanies Brazil’s Homosexuals: The Brazilian bishops' conference has appointed Bishop Arnaldo Carvalheiro Neto of Jundiaí, São Paulo, as the prelate responsible for supporting homosexuals. Brazil is thus following countries such as Germany and Belgium. Homosexual groups in Brazil hailed the appointment as a 'historic achievement'. Bishop Carvalheiro is known in Jundiaí for his authoritarian style. He ordered the crosses on the main altars to be moved to the side and permitted weddings to take place outside of church buildings. According to CatolicaConect (September 2024), he frequently visits a local bar to sing samba, once inviting seminarians to join a samba gathering.
A CNBB nomeou Dom Arnaldo Carvalheiro Neto, bispo de Jundiaí, como bispo referencial para o acompanhamento pastoral de grupos católicos LGBT+. A Rede Nacional de Grupos Católicos LGBT+ celebrou a decisão como uma conquista histórica após anos de articulação. A escolha gerou preocupações devido ao histórico de controvérsias do bispo e ao silêncio da CNBB sobre os critérios e objetivos do novo encargo.
It is a clear sign of apostasy to see that when homosexual priests have expelled the Holy Spirit from their bodies, they desecrate churches. That is why Jesus Christ emphatically stated that false pastors and impostors are recognized by their wicked deeds. Another visible sign is his hatred for Christ reflected in his contempt for the traditional Mass. “Destroy the Mass and you destroy the Church.”— Heresiarch Martin Luther
Nov 25 "By your perseverance you will secure your lives” We post today the last words of Nikolaus von Halem who died in 1944. He was a German businessman, husband, and father who was put to death for his resistance to the Nazi regime. He wrote his final thoughts to his mother shortly before he was killed. The quote is taken from the Magnificat. And like the Good Thief let us hope and pray that we too will be prepared for eternity when that final day comes. By your perseverance you will secure your lives My dearest, unfortunate one, that you must experience this great pain! I am writing this two days before the hearing, prepared for anything and in a state of great inner peace. How consoling is the prospect that my sufferings are soon to end. Only the fact that your sufferings will then really begin and go on oppresses and torments me.
