From a former undocumented immigrant to the nation's youngest prelate, Pope Leo XIV's recent bishop appointments reflect a diverse Catholic Church in his homeland. Since his election on May 8 last year, Pope Leo XIV has named numerous bishops to fill posts around the world, also in the USA. Before becoming pope, Cardinal Robert Prevost was himself in charge of proposing new bishops for established Latin Rite dioceses around the world. So, while such decisions are never taken lightly, Leo XIV is particularly keyed in to the needs and criteria involved. As of May 6, 2026, he has made 26 appointments of bishops for his homeland. This includes raising priests to the bishopric, elevating auxiliary bishops to new dioceses, and transferring ordinary bishops to new sees. Eleven of these bishops — 42% — were born outside the United States. Sixteen of them are under 60 years old, and the youngest is 45. Only three come from religious communities: a Jesuit, a Benedictine, and an Oratorian. They …

He has authored over 980 peer-reviewed publications and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Independent Medicine. Dr. Varon published an article on brownstone.org on Monday: The Hantavirus Panic Machine: When Rare Diseases Become Media Theater. Periodically, the public faces a new microbial threat. The pattern is consistent: a tragic death or cluster of illnesses emerges, prompting newsrooms to employ dramatic language such as “deadly virus,” “mysterious outbreak,” and “health officials concerned.” Social media further amplifies public fear. Public health agencies issue cautious statements, which journalists often reframe in alarmist terms. Within days, individuals previously unfamiliar with the terminology may become convinced that a civilization-ending epidemic is imminent. This month, it is hantavirus. Just …

May 13th - Saint of the Day: Saint Servatius of Tongeren, Bishop A bishop. A key. A buried grave that snow refused to cover. Saint Servatius of Tongeren was not just another ancient bishop lost in history. He stood against Arianism, the heresy that tried to make Jesus less than fully God. In other words, he helped defend the truth at the heart of the Creed: Christ is truly God. And then the legends get wild. A tradition says Saint Peter appeared to him in Rome and gave him a key, a symbol of Heaven, mercy, and spiritual authority. After Servatius died, his grave was said to remain untouched by snow until a church was built over it. His relics became so important that they were carried in procession during plague, war, and crisis. In sacred art, he is sometimes shown defeating a dragon, symbolizing his fight against false teaching. This is the kind of Catholic history that feels ancient, mysterious, and strangely relevant today. Because the question is still …More

So BXVI can resign throw in the towel .SSPX is doing opposite digging in and holding the faith of our fathers. One thought VII is ok the other sees the modernism VII for what it is a snake

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined. “It’s bigger than Watergate.” “It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.” “It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.” “There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ” “Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.” “At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.” “And some of them took that deal.” “It’s one thing to be evil to a child.” “It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.” “The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is an end in itself," Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, told OsvNews.com on 11 May during a trip to the USA. "Any attempt to instrumentalise the Gospel for a subsidiary purpose, whether cultural, ideological or political, is suspect." He warned against "any attempt to brandish Christianity void of the message and presence of the Wounded and Risen One". And: "Any presentation of Christianity that abstracts the scandal of the Cross, or that uses the Cross perversely as a weapon with which to strike others, is veering towards heresy or even blasphemy." However, the main focus of the interview is psychology, not religion. Some of his main points are: - absolutizing our own experience - immersed in my own experience - the drama of my existence - learn to live with my wound - being wounded is the human norm - a remembrance of healing - living enclosed in ourselves - shut myself off - a new way of being human - a human life is a drawn-out affair Picture: …More
What ever you did to least of my brethren you did to me. Corporal and spiritual acts of mercy its all in the Baltimore catechism . Stop the navel gazing
Read this carefully. The European official says, on record, "there is no literature, no evidence that transmission has happened before onset of symptoms." Then in the same breath recommends contact tracing for the two days before symptoms anyway. No single evidence. But trace them, isolate them, log them, just in case. This is the entire COVID playbook over again. Admit the data does not support the measure. Invoke "precaution". Roll out the measure, and eventually call anyone who points at the contradiction a conspiracy theorist. "Public health approach" is the magic phrase that they will use again to strip you from your civil tights. They told you exactly what they are planning to do.
Sound familiar? The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control says that "some persons can test positive before the onset of symptoms," so they recommend contract tracing to be done two days before the onset of symptoms.
