Young people have the right to more traditional forms of liturgical experience, said Bishop Joel Portela Amado, 71, of Petrópolis, at a press conference of the Brazil Bishops in Aparecida, according to AciDigital.com. A journalist asked about a possible “return” of the Mass in the Roman rite and spoke about “young people who kneel to receive Communion” and “wear veils”. Bishop Joel replied it is important to consider broader trends, citing 2022 census data showing the highest number of people without religion is among those aged 19 to 39. “It’s not that they don’t believe in God. They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with. For him, such “diversity” is legitimate: “Do they have the right to be like this? Yes, because Catholicism is plural by nature, especially in a deeply plural world,” he said. …More
"They are ‘unchurched’ - they believe in God, but lack a concrete path within the Church,” he said. Bishop Joel suggested this can lead young people to seek religious reference points, sometimes in past forms they did not grow up with." No, actually, it's because they finally find the transcendent, the supernatural, the Divine, "the true, the good and the beautiful" in the Traditional Latin Mass, vs. the pure, horizontal humanism of the Novus Ordo. Grace operating in young, idealistic, fresh souls who want something more than what this world offers.

A viral clip shows Irish priest Christopher Ginnelly, from the Holy Family parish in Ballycroy in the Archdiocese of Armagh in Ireland, including a petition asking God to "take Donald Trump" during the Eucharist. The congregation can be heard laughing before the cleric attempts to explain his mistake. "Sorry about that," he said, before continuing: "Take away his pain". DailyStar.co.uk reported on the video on 16 April.
Novus Ordo: This is Fr. Christopher Ginnelly, parish priest for the Church of the Holy Family in Ballycroy, praying for the death of Donald Trump. The audience starts laughing.
Fri Apr 17, 2026 - 12:26 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — In a recent interview with Matt Fradd on his podcast Pints With Aquinas, Father John Perricone described how Mother Teresa had once told him that receiving the Holy Eucharist on the hand was the worst evil she had seen in her decades as a religious. During the podcast, which first aired April 13, Perricone recalled having breakfast with Mother Teresa, who had attended his Mass on several occasions, and how he had asked the nun about the most evil thing she had seen in her work with the most vulnerable across the globe. The priest emphasized how, without hesitation, the sainted nun said, “Communion in the hand.” “I remember once I said, ‘Mother, you’ve been in the worst areas, sectors of the world imaginable, and you’ve seen the greatest evils. Tell me, of all the things that you’ve seen, what can you tell me is the worst evil you’ve come across?” he recalled. “I suspected she was going to say abortion or euthanasia, (but) she looked …
Showing respect for Our Savior now requires repentance!Wow! If you do the Research you will find that the practice of communion in the hand was allowed only by Cardinal Bernardines probable fraud and deceit ,so it is actually illicit.
We live in a time where the "Prince Charming" bailed on foot because his horse died miles ago, and the "Princess" is still locked in her tower, terrified to turn the key because she just got her nails done... Whatever happened to values? To real love, loyalty, and basic respect for another human being? Where did it all go? Face-to-face conversations have been replaced by ghosting and silence. Working on a relationship has been traded for "upgrading" to a newer, shinier model. Friendships now have an expiration date—usually right when the benefits run out. People who were supposed to be your rock end up becoming your worst enemies. Where the hell did the integrity go?! Am I overreacting? I don’t think so. Not for a second. The "Prince" who was supposed to be charming turns out to be just another player who used you and moved on. The "Princess" who was once wrapped around your neck, telling you that you were her entire world, turns on a dime the moment she finds someone with a bigger bank …More

This post furthers the Marxist dilectic by exposing its anti-Catholic bias towards MAGA/Zionism. I read in it, "But when a left wing ideologue wants to bash a conservative American President, facts can be most inconvenient."
Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi NO COFFEE! US armed forces are running out of food as the planned four-day plan to “take out Iran” enters its seventh week. Vegetables, fruit, and all fresh produce has gone – and tiny meals are being served on empty meal trays on warships, USA Today reported. And there’s no coffee – something many Americans consider more important than food. . 'MYSTERY MEAT' One dinner on the USS Abraham Lincoln this week was boiled carrots and two pieces of “mystery meat”, while sailors on the USS Tripoli had a scoop of shredded meat and a tortilla as a meal. Frantic family members have been trying to mail food to troops. “But mail delivery to military ZIP codes across the Middle East has been indefinitely suspended,” the newspaper reported. The warships have no internet service, but when a pocket of connectivity opened up, one parent, Dan F, got updates. “After his daughter told him the coffee machine on board had broken down, Dan said he stopped drinking coffee in …More
Prevost Bows Before Islam Prevost deserves to receive the Oscar for Best Actor. His audacity in apostatizing while remaining disguised as the Pope defies all fiction. x.com/HerdImmunity12/status/2044331909392605508
In 1979 my high school friend recommended I read the book, "Friendly Fire." I did and realized the the US Government lied about many aspects of the Vietnam war. I was devastated. That devastation led me to where I am today. It is hard to have your whole life turn out to be one big lie but God never forsook me, nor His mother the Blessed Virgin Mary! She has promised us no matter what, "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.” And she will not fail us, even though all around us chaos reigns! Viva Cristo Rey!
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Our Lord’s words of admonishment to the bride about true and false wisdom, and about how good angels aid the wise who are good while devils aid the wise who are evil. Chapter 33 “My friends are like scholars who have three things: First, a reasonable understanding above what is natural to the brain. Second, wisdom without human aid, for I myself teach them inwardly. Third, they are full of the sweetness and divine love with which they defeat the devil. But nowadays people study in a different way. First, they want to be wise out of vainglory in order to be called good clerks and masterly scholars. Second, they want to be wise in order to own and win riches. Third, they want to be wise in order to win honors and privileges. That is why I leave them when they go to their schools and enter there, since they study because …More
"My friends pray for bread, because they seek and learn the wisdom of God where my love is. But others, however, pray for straw, that is, worldly wisdom. For just as straw is useless for man to eat but, is instead, the food of irrational animals, so too there is neither use for the worldly wisdom that they seek nor nourishment for the soul, but only a small name and useless work. For when a man dies, all his wisdom is eradicated into nothing and he can no longer be seen by those who used to praise him."
