An African Priest Serves Rural Italy's Spiritual Needs In rural Italy, a unique story unfolds. Rev. Vincent Souly, originally from Burkina Faso, is bridging cultural gaps as a beloved priest in Prato, Tuscany. For 15 years, he's served a predominantly Italian congregation, forming deep connections. Despite his Italian citizenship, he faces challenges of acceptance. Souly reflects on his identity, saying, 'A piece of wood, no matter how long it stays in water, will never become a crocodile.' He prefers to be recognized by his heritage rather than the color of his skin. His journey highlights the complexities of belonging and the power of community. Knewdex News
Instaurare Omnia in Christo These people ...ignorance is everywhere, be it in a mountain village, or a big city...May the Lord bless this priest, and give him PATIENCE. "They warmly greeted Father Souly and invited him to stay for dinner. When he politely turned them down, telling them that he planned to visit a cancer patient in another village, Ms. Orlandi gently ribbed him. “Give me a break,” Ms. Orlandi joked. “Who are you, the pope?” Mr. Ballotti asked Father Souly to come back the following week to watch a soccer match, but the priest said he would not have time."

Vincent Souly as he toured his parishes. Aug. 16, 2026 Leer en español The priest stepped into the bedroom where his 90-year-old parishioner lay sleeping in a hospital bed, flanked by oxygen tanks. The pastor towered over the bed and leaned down to move close to the patient, Carlo Martini, as the old man’s eyes fluttered open briefly. “How are you?” the priest, the Rev. Vincent Souly, asked, a bit too loudly. Mr. Martini’s wife, Renza Giagnoni, stood to the side and watched. “It looks like we’re the United Nations!” she said, also a bit too loudly. Father Souly is one of the few Black faces in the province of Prato, a mountainous region of Tuscany, in central Italy, where he has served for 15 years as a Roman Catholic priest. He has built warm relationships with his predominantly Italian …More
How odd it is to see someone asking me, what has Russia done that was so good? After dozens of posts and more than once a list of the great things Russia has done, I am still asked that question. Proving once again, that they don't care to look or read a thing that is posted. But always ready to condemn Russia about the same things I posted about. Which tells me, they are not who they seem to be. Just one example of what Russia has done. A most important one is, It's not Russia who has started WW. It is Russia who is being attacked from Poland, US, UK, and many others. But Russia does nothing. Yet! We know how Russia was chosen by GOD to punish them all. And in the end. Russia will walk away with many honors from Heaven. And we have seen how every time those countries try to hurt Russia how it always backfires and Russia is saved from their sanctions and false flags, coups, attempted assassinations and everything else. Russia and Putin come out a winner every time!
Cardinal Burke told the harsh truth: what happened in Sodom is happening again. The days of Noah too. Only now it has laws, doctors, and a flag. Not “things are bad.” Not “culture is changing.” The same pattern. God looked at the world before the flood and saw people violating the way He made them. Male and female. Marriage. The body. The family. Burke named the modern version without flinching. Transgenderism. Surgeries that mutilate the body to match an idea. Sexual relationships that break the bond of marriage. Evil getting praised as if it were good. Human life is inviolable. Sex is for the union of man and woman and the family. God is to be worshiped in spirit and in truth.
The final programme for the annual Rome pilgrimage of the Traditional Roman Rite (23–25 October) has been announced. However, there is a notable change this year: the pilgrims will enter St Peter's Basilica at 1 p.m. to pray, but there will be no Mass. Instead, pilgrims will travel to the Basilica of St Mary Major, where Bishop Athanasius Schneider will celebrate Mass at 3 p.m. On Friday evening, Bishop Schneider will preside over Pontifical Vespers at the Pantheon. Unlike in previous years, no cardinal is scheduled to celebrate the principal liturgies. On Sunday, the traditional Feast of Christ the King, Masses will be held at San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini, Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini and Sant’Anna al Laterano. The organisers have expressed their gratitude to Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of St Mary Major, for welcoming the pilgrims. Picture: Don Elvir Tabaković, #newsFjtfiqeqpm
Nightclubs in Churches? The Battle for St. Paul’s & Canterbury Cathedral | SG News Is the Church of England losing its way—or finding new ways to connect with a changing culture? St Paul’s Cathedral in London is facing intense criticism after reportedly entering a four-year agreement with Fabric to host electronic and contemporary music events within the historic cathedral. The arrangement, reportedly running through 2030, has sparked a fierce debate over where the line should be drawn between preserving sacred spaces and adapting them for modern audiences. The first event is scheduled for October 29. Critics have been particularly vocal: Bishop Robert Barron criticized the decision on X, arguing that the distinction between the sacred and the secular must not be lost. MP Nick Timothy also challenged London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s description of St Paul’s as a “special landmark,” emphasizing that the cathedral remains an active place of Christian worship. And St Paul’s is not the …More
“Pope Paul VI's 1965 address to the United Nations” - Source:youtube.com/watch?v=wf3GNl_L-K4&t=4s - See also:VATICAN II: A MASONIC DREAM COME TRUE - Source: … - On October 4, 1965—barely two months before the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council—Paul VI delivered a now-infamous speech at the United Nations to mark its twentieth anniversary. As this video aims to illustrate, Paul VI appears to propose a stance of surrender to the world as the official policy of the Catholic Church. Drawing upon Sacred Scripture and our great Catholic Tradition, I will argue that this amounts, ultimately, to a complete inversion of the order that should exist between spiritual and temporal powers; that this inverted stance can only be understood in light of the great apostasy foretold by Saint Paul in 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2; and that Paul VI and the post-conciliar project, in general, may be paving the way for the Antichrist. - Related: 1.

Saint Thomas of Villanova | The Archbishop Called “Father of the Poor” | September 8 Today we remember Saint Thomas of Villanova, an Augustinian friar, preacher and Archbishop of Valencia who became famous not for the wealth or prestige of his office— but for how much he gave away. He became known as the: “Father of the Poor.” Born in Spain in 1486, Thomas grew up in a family known for generosity towards those in need. He was highly intelligent, studied at the University of Alcalá, and eventually became a professor. But Thomas felt called towards something deeper. FROM PROFESSOR TO FRIAR Thomas entered the Order of Saint Augustine and was ordained a priest. His gifts quickly became obvious. He was an excellent preacher and teacher and eventually held important leadership responsibilities within the Augustinian Order. Yet Thomas never seemed interested in becoming powerful. Then he was appointed Archbishop of Valencia. That could have changed everything. An archbishop could live with …More
Title: The Syro-Phoenician woman's faith The persevering faith of the Syro‑Phoenician woman inspires my own life and strengthens my faith in God. She came to Jesus seeking HIS blessing, pleading for the cure of her afflicted daughter. And I too plead with Jesus for mercy upon my afflicted mother— a cancer patient for the second time. Together, my mother and I persevere in our faith, waiting upon HIS saving help. Though she endures painful, physically exhausting chemotherapy each month, yet she perseveres, keeping her faith and hope strong in God. Her steadfastness is a living witness to the strength that comes from trusting Jesus. #God#Christianlife
"Whereas, in Penance, the offense is atoned according to the will of the sinner, and the judgment of God against Whom the sin was committed, because in the latter case we seek not only the restoration of the equality of justice, as in vindictive justice, but also and still more the reconciliation of friendship, which is accomplished by the offender making atonement according to the will of the person offended. Accordingly the first requisite on the part of the penitent is the will to atone, and this is done by contrition; the second is that he submit to the judgment of the priest standing in God's place, and this is done in confession; and the third is that he atone according to the decision of God's minister, and this is done in satisfaction: and so contrition, confession, and satisfaction are assigned as parts of Penance." — St. Thomas Aquinas
The flourishing Cistercian abbey of Heiligenkreuz and their Benedict XVI College (Hochschule) aren't traditional (TLM) but still way too conservative for the Vatican not to wreck them. Rector Wolfgang Klausnitzer for example is an outsider. He popped up after the apostolic visitation of the College. The sinodal obliteration must proceed.. Wird das blühende Stift Heiligenkreuz …
