Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer {October 23} Short Lives of the Saints (Volume 3 - September — December) By Rev Henry Gibson October 23 - Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer (Pages 160-163) Forgotten Catholic Books Feast of the Holy Redeemer A redeemer is one who pays the debt of another, to deliver him from an unfortunate situation from which he finds himself unable to be liberated without aid. As an example, we can recall the religious Orders whose members dedicated themselves to the redemption of captives, paying for their release or offering to serve in the place of those who had become slaves of the Moors. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of all mankind. From what misfortune did He free us? The mystery of original sin and man's enslavement to the influence of the demons, is the key to the other mysteries of our religion, although it is the most difficult for us to grasp. (Cf. Book of Job) Our Lord has re-established man in a state more enviable than that of our first father, …More
Fest des Allerheiligsten Erlösers - Gedenktag: am 23. Oktober Das Fest des allerheiligsten Erlösers war ein katholisches liturgisches Fest. Es wird in Venedig als Festa del Redentore gefeiert. Es wird auch von den Redemptoristen gefeiert und wurde in der Stadt Rom gefeiert. Das Fest findet sich nur im besonderen Kalender einiger Diözesen und Ordensorden wieder und wird entweder am dritten Sonntag im Juli oder am 23. Oktober mit richtiger Messe und Amt gefeiert. In Venedig ist dieses Fest seit mehr als drei Jahrhunderten mit großer Feierlichkeit zu beobachten. Moroni in seinem "Dizionario" gibt einige interessante Daten über den Ursprung dieses Festes. 1576 brach in Venedig eine Pest aus, die in wenigen Tagen Tausende von Opfern verführte. Um diese Geißel abzuwenden, gelobte der Senat, dem Erlöser der Menschheit einen prächtigen Tempel zu errichten und dort jedes Jahr am dritten Sonntag im Juli öffentliche und feierliche Dankgottesdienste anzubieten. Kaum hatte die Pest aufgehört, als …More
Justice Dept. Demands That California Counties Help Identify Noncitizen Voters nytimes.com/…/us/justice-dept-california-noncitiz… Election officials across the state received letters from the agency saying if they fail to comply, they “risk significant federal scrutiny.” By Laurel Rosenhall and Shawn Hubler Oct. 23, 2026, 10:35 p.m. ET The Department of Justice sent letters on Friday to local election officials across California demanding that they help identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots.

Dispatched a week and a half before the midterm elections, the threat arrived as the Trump administration has begun a blitz of initiatives aimed at unearthing evidence of noncitizen voting or stalling election …More
The Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage will tomorrow be barred from entering St. Peter’s Basilica, said Christian Marquant, president of the French organization Paix Liturgique, at today’s event at the Augustinianum in Rome. He added that Pope Leo XIV had described last year’s Mass at St. Peter’s as “instrumentalized,” reports MessaInLatino.it. This Papal remark was made during a December audience in which Bishop Athanasius Schneider raised the widespread desire for the Roman Rite with Leo XIV. “Perhaps he was annoyed by the large turnout or the extensive press coverage,” Marquant speculated. “And indeed, this year permission to celebrate Mass at St. Peter’s has been refused!” Marquant then announced breaking news: “Not only have we been denied permission to celebrate Mass, but we have even been barred from entering the basilica, without so much as a semblance of justification. We shall see what happens tomorrow.” The decision was communicated in recent days in a letter from the Vatican …More

Speaking to Corriere.it on October 22, Rev. Giannicola Maria Simone, 65, said he was simply returning the teenager’s gesture and saw no reason to apologize. During the unrest, he sheltered tourists and passersby inside his church.
En Italie, lors des manifestations du 18 octobre, une racaille s’en prend à un curé en lui faisant un doigt d'honneur. Le curé ne se laisse pas faire et lui renvoie la pareille. Ces racailles veulent la fin de notre civilisation et du christianisme.
Father Giannicola Maria Simone, 65, speaks out, reacting to the rude gesture a teenager made towards him. «I've been working with guys all my life and sometimes you even have to tell them “Be careful what you do”» «They're guys, so I'm not surprised. I responded to him with the middle finger, but with neither violent intentions nor the risk of unleashing further anger».

Quran is "Word of God" and Muhammad "chosen by God" - says Italian bishops’ school material. The publication, Schede per conoscere l’Islam (“Sheets for Understanding Islam”), was prepared by the CEI and the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI). It comprises 11 teaching sheets intended for use in Catholic religious instruction in Italian schools. They were presented at Palazzo Borromeo in Rome on October 21, at an event attended by Cardinal Matteo Zuppi. Sheet 2 describes Muhammad as “chosen by God to carry His message and to establish and guide the new community of believers.” It also presents him as an ideal believer whose life became a model for Muslims. Sheet 4 bears the title “The Quran: The Revealed Word of God.” Its text states: “The Word of God, unknowable in itself, becomes accessible to human beings through the oral recitation and written reading of the Quran.” It continues: “In time and space, God makes himself present through the attribute of the Word …More

Here is Pope Leo XIII dissection of Americanism (that's 13 not 14 so don't freak out). Someone should dissect this out before it is too late. Catholics have a home in Constitutional America but the bishops were cautioned in 1899. Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae - Papal Encyclicals
How about one more @Jeffrey Ade This is man and people you side with? This is who you say will bring Salvation to the world? When it's well know with True and Good Catholics that it will be Russia once Consecrated to The Immaculate Heart of Mary which will bring peace to the world. And most importantly, THE TRIUMPH OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY! Don't you want to see that for our Mother? RUSSIA who was chosen to punish this wicked world who embraces all evil. While Putin and Russia ban and kick out all the filthy the US and Europe BROUGHT INTO RUSSIA! You should be thankful for Russia to show the world that evil will not win. That evil must be destroyed as Putin and Russia have done and still at it. And you should also be thanking Putin and only Putin who is going against many to avoid WW lll by taking so much abuse and murder from the US and Nato. A man who can't be bought. Even if it means he will have to step down. He will not do anything to help the West to cause WW lll. But to …More
You are such a help to me in exposing you. You are truly lost. So desperate you can't see that? I am notifying you so you can see all the evils of Ukraine which you praise and have the stupidity of saying will bring Salvation to the world. When clearly it is Russia! Russia who will help convert the world. Russia whom Our Lord and His Holy Mother chose to be Consecrated to her Immaculate Heart. Russia who will teach the world how to convert and turn to GOD. And Russia who will be the one to bring about the TRIUMPH OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY. And Russia Our Lord entrusted to The Immaculate Heart of Mary to protect, love and care for. NOT UKRAINE. BUT RUSSIA! CHOSEN FOR ALL THOSE THINGS INCLUDING OUR PUNISHMENT. "OUR PUNISHMENT:! Not Russia. Ours! That's what The Blessed Mother said right? Or do you think you are exempt from it? Or you know better than both GOD and His Mother? Yep! The later is more like it. And please stop adding the stupid things you pick off from others. I am no …More

‘On Loving God’ By St. Bernard of Clairvaux - ‘Of love toward God…’ – Chapter VII; pages 11; part III [St. Bernard of Clairvaux – XI-XII Century AD; born: Burgundy, Kingdom of France/died: Clairvaux, Kingdom of France; (aged 62-63); Abbot; Mystic; Leader; co-founder of the Knights Templar; Last of the Fathers; Doctor Mellifluus] Chapter VII. Of love toward God not without reward: and how the hunger of man's heart cannot be satisfied with earthly things I have said already that the motive for loving God is God Himself. And I spoke truly, for He is as well the efficient cause as the final object of our love. He gives the occasion for love, He creates the affection, He brings the desire to good effect. He is such that love to Him is a natural due; and so hope in Him is natural, since our present love would be vain did we not hope to love Him perfectly some day. Our love is prepared and rewarded by His. He loves us first, out of His great tenderness; then we are bound to repay Him with love …More
