Silicon Valley “Neighborhood Masses” Fuse Eucharist and Community Organizing. Worse than Germany: One Saturday a month, Rev. Rick Rodoni, pastor of St. Lucy Parish in the heart of Silicon Valley, celebrates pop-up “Neighborhood Masses.” Posters declare that “everyone is welcome!” The Eucharist is celebrated in a parking area, with a makeshift altar and folding chairs. The liturgy is combined with “community listening sessions.” After the Liturgy of the Word, tables are available for neighbors to express their concerns “during the Mass.”
Worse than Germany: A memorial ceremony for Buddhist woman Marta Pezzati, 59, was held on August 20 in the Catholic Church of San Martino in Rebbio, Como, Italy. Pezzati was president of the volunteer association Como Accoglie and was well known locally for her work assisting migrants and refugees. The ceremony was hosted by the parish priest Giusto Della Valle, who had worked with Pezzati on initiatives involving migrants. Two Buddhist monks participated in the ceremony. One of the monks later told LaNuovaBq.it that the event was “not a Mass and not even a funeral, but a remembrance of Marta's generosity.” He said there had been no Catholic liturgy or Catholic prayer. Priest: “She Found God in Budddha” Video recordings show Father Della Valle and another Catholic priest present wearing an alb and stole. During the ceremony, the two Buddhist monks chanted a Buddhist mantra from the ambo. Father Della Valle also spoke about Pezzati's Buddhist faith. He described her as a “woman of …More
Lord Bebo & Friends AIR DEFENSE STORAGE HIT Looks like the ammunition depot stored air defense missiles to defend Kiev’s central area and leadership. The rare assets Ukraine needs the most went up in smoke. Cooked-off ammunition destroyed dozens of civilian buildings around it. Burning rockets hit everything nearby at random. “Terrible event” Join us | @MyLordBebo

"Citizens Want Political Turnaround": AfD Now … ... So berichtet manin den USA über den aktuellen Erfolgskurs der AfD ... AfD liegt in ganz Ostdeutschland bei 43 Prozent "Bürger fordern politischen Wandel nach Jahren gescheiterter progressiver Experimente, die eine Masseneinwanderung aus der Dritten Welt und eine die Nation schädigende Deindustrialisierung begünstigt hätten. AfD-Co-Chefin Alice Weidel schrieb auf "X": „Laut aktueller Forsa-Umfrage liegt die AfD im gesamten Osten bei 43 Prozent, die CDU nur noch bei 13 Prozent. Die Bürger wollen die politische Wende!“ Die zentrale Aussage der Umfrage: Die AfD liegt mehr als dreimal so hoch wie die unionsgeführte CDU/CSU und höher als CDU/CSU, SPD und Grüne zusammen.

Lord Bebo & Friends CLOSE TO CIVILIANS: Ammunition depots cook off and explode with secondary detonations after Russian strikes. The ammunition storage seems to have been in a civilian area around Kiev. They keep storing rockets and ammunition close to civilians. Wonder how many millions of Western taxpayer money went up in smoke. Join us | @MyLordBebo
This is what the globalist want. To kill the Russians and Ukrainians off. Russia has avoided these places until recently when the US and west started to kill many children and civilians inside of Russia. Everyday I watch as they bomb mostly children. They have taken Russia as weak because she held back for so long. But Ukraine has gotten much worse now. The debris is what causes damage to the surrounding civilians. The Russians are spot on with their attacks and their aim is perfect when they go after buildings storing the ammo and weapons.

Deep Dives @DeepDivesUsa Russia will charge producers with Genetically modified food as TERRORISTS. Putin has BANNED genetically modified food (GMO) and anyone who sells them will face terrorism charges. Russia sees selling harmful food to the population as a terrorist act.
[wherepeteris] Written by Lavoisier Fernandes We live in an age increasingly suspicious of objective truth and universal moral authority. In a culture shaped by postmodern thinking, truth can become intensely personal — something determined less by what is true than by what I believe to be true. Social media has amplified this tendency, giving everyone a platform, an audience, and, sometimes, the illusion that every opinion carries equal authority. St. John Paul II anticipated this crisis of truth in Fides et Ratio(1998), warning against reducing the search for meaning to “merely human argumentation.” For Christianity, truth is not simply an idea to be constructed or a preference to be asserted. Truth has a face: Jesus Christ Yet a crisis of truth inevitably becomes a crisis of authority. If truth is reduced to personal conviction, a fundamental question follows: Who has the authority to tell me what is true? “Cafeteria Catholicism” in a Polarized Church That question has not remained …More
After the 2018 Sino-Vatican agreement “terrible things happen to Catholics” in the Fujian province, an anonymous Chinese bishop who is unaffiliated with the Chinese state church ‘Patriotic Association’, told Anthony Clark for CatholicWorldReport.com on August 23. The bishop speaks of a “state of emergency”. As government influence over the bishops increases, “the integrity of the Catholic faith will suffer.” To “assure the survival of China’s Church,” new bishops have been “secretly consecrated.” The bishop says the faithful question Rome’s genuine concern for their “spiritual well-being” when the Holy See approves government-selected bishops whom they regard as too reliable to the state. The number is unknown, but he suggested that “at least ten new bishops” were consecrated for the underground community in the Fujian province. #newsTzdkbhbakv
