Raymonda Hassan "I'm Jewish. And the truth is, Israel does not represent me." Katie Halper, an American Jewish political commentator, breaks down how Israel was never truly about protecting Jewish people. She explains how it exploited the Holocaust to justify the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, while showing deep contempt for Holocaust survivors and Mizrahi Jews. Halper argues that Zionism internalized antisemitism, tried to erase Jewish communities that spoke Yiddish and Arabic, and built a militarized identity that shamed religious and intellectual Jews. She connects this with how Israel uses claims of antisemitism to silence critics while aligning with Christian Zionists, who believe Jews must die for the apocalypse, and other types of anti-Semites. 253K views · 12K reactions | "I'm Jewish.

Saint Opportuna - April 22 Saint Opportuna Opportuna of Séez never raised children of her own, but she became known as a mother to the Benedictine nuns she led in eighth-century France. Born in a castle in a small village near Argentan, Normandy, France, Opportuna entered a convent when she was still young. She received the veil from her brother, Bishop Chrodegang of Séez. Her cousin Lantildis was abbess of the convent at the time. Opportuna's faith and kindness stood out, and before long she was chosen to lead the convent as abbess. Displaying great patience, she offered guidance and support as well as gentle correction when needed. She cared for the nuns as their spiritual mother. Her life took a sorrowful turn when her brother, Bishop Chrodegang, was killed on his way to visit her. The man he entrusted to run the diocese while he was in Rome for seven years planned his murder. And even though Opportuna foresaw her brother's death, she was powerless to stop it. Overcome with grief …More

The late great ALAIN DELON’s parents divorced when he was 4yrs old and put him up for adoption - so his answer when asked — “if God exists what would you ask him after your death?” — hits me hard every time.
So sincere and real! It so speaks to our need for and love of our parents, and how as parents we must nurture that love and build on it. It is so sad when even people who have been successfully adopted miss their real parents.
Liz Churchill @liz_churchill10 ARREST THESE BIOLOGICAL TERRORISTS… “My cancer came back…and it came back strong. It was because I took the Covid Vaccine. The Doctor was crying to me because she was going to tell 3 other people today they have terminal cancer…in their 20’s. Her patient count is up 300%”
Dictators live and breathe for control. Many of these diseases are man made by Frankenstein doctors. We must pray daily, be careful, and beg our Guardian Angeles to protect us.

The Vatican is pressing forward with the plan to reshape the Church into a more participatory, consultative body with shared decision-making across multiple levels, according to a report by katholisch.de on April 21. On April 17, the General Secretariat of the Synod convened the XVI Ordinary Council in an online session chaired by Cardinal Mario Grech. The meeting opened with a prayer led by Sister Nathalie Becquart. Council members reviewed progress on implementing the final document of the Synod on Synodality and examined ongoing work by study groups. A key next step will be a preparatory meeting at the Vatican from June 23–25, aimed at translating the Synod’s 2024 conclusions into concrete action at the continental level. This implementation phase is scheduled to run through spring 2028. Participants in June will include leaders of major continental episcopal bodies (CELAM, CCEE, and SECAM) alongside representatives of Eastern Catholic patriarchates and delegations from the bishops …More
The “Wolf-Sheep” Priest Among Traditional Catholics: A quiet danger we don’t always want to see. Among us who hold to Tradition, it is not difficult to recognize the obvious problems in the modern Church. The changes after the Second Vatican Council, the new teachings, the new spirit—these things are visible enough. A priest who openly promotes those errors is easy to identify. There is no disguise there. But the more uncomfortable question is this: what about the danger that does not come from outside, but from within our own traditional circles? Because it exists. And it is far more subtle. There are priests who wear the cassock, offer the Latin Mass, speak against modernism when it is convenient—but in the long run, something is not quite right. Not openly wrong, not clearly heretical, but slowly, almost quietly, they weaken the very thing they seem to represent. This is what we mean by a “wolf-sheep” priest. Not a wolf in appearance, but one hidden under the skin of tradition. …More
On today's first anniversary of Francis's death, the homosexual activist James Martin SJ shared a memory from 2024. At the time, Francis had made some negative remarks about homosexual priests using the Italian slur "frociaggine" (faggotry) in a meeting with Italian bishops. A few weeks later, Francis received Fr Martin and discussed the expression. Francis said then that he knew "many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians". When Fr Martin suggested proclaiming this publicly, Francis replied, "Oh, but I think I have. And in any event, you can say that!" According to Fr Martin, Francis asked back: "So you're saying that I can say you know many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians?" Francis shrugged and said, "Of course. Because I do!" [In reality, the Church has suffered from many unholy, unfaithful, sexually active gay priests.] A few days later, during an audience with comedians, Fr Martin greeted Francis again. The Pope said, "Thank you for our meeting …More
Gay is an adjective that applies to someone tempted to homosexual sin and is proud of the temptation and acting on the temptation. He or she also encourages others to be proud of their temptations and sins. The specific difference is pride. One who is tempted or sins in a homosexual manner and experiences compunction and repugnance is not gay. Given that definition one cannot be a good gay catholic or a good gay priest. Pride is a vice. It changes a tempted person or sinner who should be ashamed into a vicious monster. Bergoglio's and Martin's ambiguity serves as a smoke screen for contradicting divine revelation and traditional moral doctrine.
When a man begins to fast, to pray, to deny himself, it is not heaven that is disturbed—but hell. While I lived in distraction, no one troubled me. But when I knelt—then the blows began. Thoughts like arrows. Doubts like a fog. Bodily weakness. Unexpected quarrels. Temptations precisely where I am weakest. And I understood—it is not an attack because I am weak, but because I have begun. The devil does not attack the dead. He attacks those who have awakened. Fasting is not a diet. Fasting is war— war against the old self. War against the passions that bound me for years. A war in which I fall every day, yet rise again. And every time I say “no” to sin, heaven records a victory the world does not see. I am not afraid of temptations. I would be afraid if they did not exist. For where there is no struggle, there is no growth. When there is no attack, it means the enemy has nothing to lose. But I know he does— because I fast, because I pray, because I desire Christ more than my own comfort. …More
