Choose Christ Over Your Own Gospel The gospel reading highlights the tendency of people to reject messages that require change, exemplified by the responses to St. John the Baptist and Jesus. Many find excuses to ignore the call to repentance and salvation, preferring a self-serving interpretation of faith. The true gospel, however, demands a commitment to change and a pursuit of holiness, as exemplified by the lives of St. John the Baptist and Jesus. Fr.

Jim Ferguson @JimFergusonUK “YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT MADE THE WEST GREAT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT THE BIBLE WAS FOUNDATIONAL.” Alex Newman believes the political and cultural crisis facing the West cannot be separated from something much deeper: The abandonment of its Christian foundations. In our conversation, Alex argues that the principles contained in the Bible helped underpin the freedom, prosperity and security that developed across Western societies. And he says political slogans alone won't reverse the decline. His message is ultimately about faith, family and what we teach the next generation. With geopolitical tensions rising, financial uncertainty growing and institutions under increasing strain, Newman argues that people need something stronger than politics upon which to build their lives. His foundation? Christ. Whether you agree with him or not, this is a very different perspective on the question: What made the West successful — and what happens when it abandons the …More
An anonymous seminarian writing from Lima, Peru, paints a picture of Catholic life that is worse than Germany: seminaries and convents “dramatically empty,” kneelers removed from churches, Communion distributed in the hands, children’s Masses with puppets and dolls, and national Catholic youth gatherings with secular music. He describes priests becoming “community entertainers” and homilies reduced to superficial, lukewarm messages. He criticizes liturgies centered on creativity, community and local culture rather than the sacrifice and adoration. In his account, doctrine is no longer treated as fixed, but as continually open to reinterpretation.
¿EN QUÉ MOMENTO SE JODIÓ LA IGLESIA? Un joven seminarista, que pide permanecer en el anonimato por temor a represalias, comparte un testimonio doloroso sobre la realidad que contempla dentro de la Iglesia: seminarios vacíos, liturgias desacralizadas, homilías superficiales, pérdida del sentido de lo sagrado y una identidad católica cada vez más diluida. No es simplemente el lamento de un joven. Es el grito de quien entregó su vida a Cristo y no quiere encontrar una Iglesia que haya olvidado quién es su Señor. Cuando la Eucaristía deja de ocupar el centro, cuando el altar pierde su carácter sagrado, cuando la liturgia se convierte en espectáculo y cuando todo parece susceptible de ser reinterpretado, la pregunta resulta inevitable: ¿Qué hemos hecho con la Iglesia que recibimos? El artículo de La Abeja plantea una reflexión que ningún católico que ame verdaderamente a la Iglesia debería ignorar. Y, a pesar de todo, queda la esperanza: necesitamos sacerdotes santos, fieles a Cristo, a la …More
Hopkins, Minnesota. Fr. Brent receives wisdom from our Lord while in transubstanciation, in which Jesus let Fr. Brent know how much Blood He pours for the salvation of souls, the weight of so much of His Divine Blood is tremendous, Fr. Brent had trouble lifting the coup. The title of this video is misleading, despite there was no physical change from bread or wine into Flesh and Blood, IT was a miracle , as it is His Flesh and Blood, such miracle happens EVERY DAY AT EVERY MASS, yet people don’t believe. Please pray for Fr. Brent to really be holy. Thanks, God bless.
Worse than Germany: On 13 September, Rev Olivier de Pétiville held a Novus Ordo spectacle at the Sainte-Blandine church in Lyon, France. He has been in this parish since 1 September. The Eucharist featured contemporary praise music, singers and musicians, large screens, a headset microphone, and congregants raising their hands. Only karaoke was missing.

The Russia-tied French billionaires opening UK's first historical theme park – explainer French company Puy du Fou is planning a £600m history-themed park in Oxfordshire. A Guardian investigation has found the company continued working with associates of Konstantin Malofeyev, an under-sanctions pro-Kremlin oligarch, on plans for a theme park in Russian-occupied Crimea for longer than it had previously disclosed and later explored projects in Iran and China. Business reporter Rob Davies explains his findings, including documents that raise questions about whether Puy du Fou’s activities tested the limits of EU sanctions imposed after Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. He also examines the far-right politics associated with Puy du Fou’s founder, Philippe de Villiers, and asks whether the company is a suitable choice to tell Britain’s national story Kremlin connections: the Russia links to a £600m UK theme park ► Kremlin connections: the Russia links to a £600m … The Guardian publishes …More

Leo XIV has appointed the much-criticized Monsignor Michele Di Tolve as the new Bishop of Chioggia (50 priests, 100'000 Catholics) Italy (September 16). Until now, he was auxiliary bishop of Rome and rector of the Pontifical Roman Major Seminary. Born in Milan in 1963 and ordained a priest in 1989, Di Tolve spent much of his ministry in priestly formation. Seminarian numbers fell sharply during his rectorship in Milan. “He Destroyed the Seminary” In 2023, a priest of the Milan Archdiocesan Curia told SilereNonPossum.com that Di Tolve “destroyed this seminary.” This article portrays Di Tolve as an extremely controlling and short-tempered rector. He had video surveillance cameras installed throughout the seminary, reportedly to monitor seminarians’ movements, including where they went and with whom. In preparation for diaconal and priestly ordination, Di Tolve had seminarians sign a document declaring that they were not homosexual, to absolve himself of responsibility. At the same time, …More
