Vatican Archbishop: Francis' Pontificate Is “True Springtime of the Church” Archbishop José Tolentino Mendonça has called the pontificate of Pope Francis a – quote – “true springtime for the Church.” Francis named Mendonça last September a Librarian of the Holy Roman Church making him an archbishop. Mendonça told the Portuguese Bishops news agency Ecclesia that he is - quote - "completely at the service" of Francis, while in reality, he should be at the service of Vatican’s library. “We Serve the Times and Demands of the Masses” Father Michael Fiedrowicz, a professor for Patristics in Trier, Germany, and expert on Saint Gregory of Nazianzus, has compared the days of Gregory with our times. Talking to the German Kirchliche Umschau, Fiedrowicz offered the following quote of Gregory, "We serve the times and demands of the masses. We leave our boat to the wind which happens to blow at the moment, and like chameleons, we know how to give our word many colours." Evangelical Boom in Iran …More

"True springtime?" What happened to the regular old springtime of Vatican II? That obviously flopped miserably so now we're looking at "true" springtime! Not that bogus springtime these old queens have been trying to sell for the last half century. It's the new and improved version! For a new time and a new generation! No it will really really work this time, we promise! OK I know we promised last time too but this time we mean it! Aggiornamento! It's like the dumb, rock headed socialists who keep promising utopia, louse it up every time they try, but still keep coming back with, "no this time we're really going to make it work for sure!" And somehow idiots keep swallowing the same lie.

It doesn't mattered if it's "old news." It's been for too long buried. There are streets named after this goofball all over the US, statues, and even a national holiday in his name. Certain leftist demagogues in the US, politicians, agitators, and Catholic clerics, are fond of ripping down statues and monuments to people who are deemed politically incorrect. Let's see any one of them touch the secularist saint MLK for being a communist whore chaser.

My father's generation died by the thousands in their young manhood liberating Europe. They didn't get to come home, take a wife and make a family, raise children, grow to old age and enjoy grandchildren, and spend a lifetime serving almighty God. For what? This? It boils my blood. NATO article five must be abolished. A people too stupid to defend itself and so depraved is not worth defending at all. Let Europe know that they are on their own. When the hordes arrive; the US is not coming. Maybe then they'll figure out that either they raise their boys to be men who love their own people and their heritage, and are not afraid to fight for it, or they will perish from the earth.

Interesting view. Occident is ashamed of its history and Christian roots. I can see some internal processes, where a "civilized" "modern" "educated" "logic" "healthy" "normal" thinking occidental individual is socially pressed to be ashamed of his ancestors who believed in "fairy tales" as "illogical" "old-fashioned" "retard" and "stupid" as the resurrection. Like children who are always ashamed of their parents. The more that you try get closer to your children, the more they alienate from you. Is there a remedy?

TheTrueEnlightment General Audience of Pope Benedict XVI, 18 February 2009 – Bede, the Venerable The Saint we are approaching today is called Bede and was born in the north-east of England, to be exact, Northumbria, in the year 672 or 673. He himself recounts that when he was seven years old his parents entrusted him to the Abbot of the neighbouring Benedictine monastery to be educated: “spending all the remaining time of my life a dweller in that monastery”. He recalls, “I wholly applied myself to the study of Scripture; and amidst the observance of the monastic Rule and the daily charge of singing in church, I always took delight in learning, or teaching, or writing” (Historia eccl. Anglorum, v, 24). In fact, Bede became one of the most outstanding erudite figures of the early Middle Ages since he was able to avail himself of many precious manuscripts which his Abbots would bring him on their return from frequent journeys to the continent and to Rome. His teaching and the fame of …More

Bob&PennyLord (April 2, 1566 – May 25, 1607) Mystical ecstasy is the elevation of the spirit to God in such a way that the person is aware of this union with God while both internal and external senses are detached from the sensible world. Mary Magdalene de’ Pazzi was so generously given this special gift of God that she is called the “ecstatic saint.” Catherine de’ Pazzi was born into a noble family in Florence in 1566. The normal course would have been for her to have married into wealth and enjoyed comfort, but Catherine chose to follow her own path. At 9, she learned to meditate from the family confessor. She made her first Communion at the then-early age of 10, and made a vow of virginity one month later. At 16, Catherine entered the Carmelite convent in Florence because she could receive Communion daily there. Catherine had taken the name Mary Magdalene and had been a novice for a year when she became critically ill. Death seemed near, so her superiors let her make her …More

Communication Centre Sophie Barat (December 12, 1779 – May 25, 1865) The legacy of Madeleine Sophie Barat can be found in the more than 100 schools operated by her Society of the Sacred Heart, institutions known for the quality of the education made available to the young. Sophie herself received an extensive education, thanks to her brother Louis, 11 years older and her godfather at baptism. Himself a seminarian, Louis decided that his younger sister would likewise learn Latin, Greek, history, physics and mathematics—always without interruption and with a minimum of companionship. By age 15, she had received a thorough exposure to the Bible, the teachings of the Fathers of the Church and theology. Despite the oppressive regime Louis imposed, young Sophie thrived and developed a genuine love of learning. Meanwhile, this was the time of the French Revolution and of the suppression of Christian schools. The education of the young, particularly young girls, was in a troubled state. …More

Aww... c'mon eucharist. You gotta show some Christian charity for our good Pontiff. He's gotta back problem, dont'cha know? :P He has "severe difficulty" kneeling which is why he doen't do it during Mass. Besides, he isn't kneeling here. He's crawling on the floor and grovelling. That's different. :D
