The 101 Essential Items That Helped Rebuild America After the Great Depression - Ask a Prepper

By 1933, America had hit the bottom. A quarter of the country was out of work, thousands of banks had folded with people’s savings inside them, and out on the plains, the Dust Bowl was burying entire farms in black dirt. There was no safety net waiting to catch anyone. Whatever a family was going to eat, wear, or fix, they were going to produce it themselves or go without. And here’s the remarkable part: they didn’t go without. American households became small, stubborn engines of production. They grew, canned, sewed, repaired, bartered, and built their way through the worst decade in the country’s economic history, and when the recovery finally came, it was carried on the backs of families who had learned to need almost nothing from the outside world. What’s striking when you go back through what actually filled a working farmhouse or a small-town home in those years is how little of it was specialized. Almost everything did double or triple duty, and almost everything was built to be …

Former Catholic Seminary to Become Muslim Boarding School

The former Catholic seminary and boarding school in Bay Shore, New York, is set to become a Muslim boarding school, reports LiBn.com on July 15. The United American Muslim Association (UAMA) purchased the building for $5.2 million.
The 6,500-square-metre centre, founded in 1926 by the Montfort Missionaries, was used to train priests before later serving as a retreat house.
Pending approval of a zoning change, the new owners intend to establish an Islamic boarding school for up to 120 boys.
According to its website, UAMA aims to provide an education in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah.
However, local residents have organised opposition to the proposal, with many displaying 'NO Boarding School' signs throughout the neighbourhood.

Vatican News Normalises In Vitro Fertilisation

VaticanNews.va – the Vatican's costly news portal with a modest online audience – published the Article “Assisted Reproduction: When AI Is Used Against Humans” on July 21 about the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
The article treats the intrinsically evil IVF as an established form of "medically assisted reproduction" and focuses on the risks posed by automation.
The author of the article is Davide Dionisi, who worked for more than 25 years at Radio Vaticana–Vatican News and is now Italy's Special Envoy for the Promotion of Freedom of Religion and the Protection of Religious Minorities.
He relies throughout on comments from Laura Palazzani, a member of the Pontifical Academy for Life.
Palazzani argues that technology should "support the clinical process" rather than replace the physician. She insists that doctors remain indispensable during procedures including "the retrieval and processing of gametes, in vitro fertilisation, and the culture …More

Father Ripperger: Mortal sin is worse than demonic possession - LifeSite

Thu Jul 23, 2026 - 3:44 pm EDTThu Jul 23, 2026 - 4:37 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Exorcist Father Chad Ripperger told former U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan that mortal sin is worse than demonic possession. During an almost three-hour interview with Ryan released Thursday, Ryan asked Fr. Ripperger whether “successful exorcisms could be miracles.” For context, he cryptically referenced a “terrifying” experience he had that “only strengthened” his “faith in Christ and God and the Holy Spirit immensely.” Fr. Ripperger affirmed that demonic afflictions, including demonic possession, can have the effect of strengthening the virtue of the afflicted person. Contrary to popular belief, demonic possession “is not the worst” scenario, the exorcist told Ryan. “The worst thing is sin, mortal sin specifically, where you’ve committed such a grave sin that you’re under the power of the demons from a legal point of view,” Fr. Ripperger said. According to Catholic teaching, a sin is mortal when it is grave matter …

Cardinal Cupich: “Viewing synodality through the lens of dance rescues this unfamiliar word and concept from the realm of dry bureaucracy, committees and paperwork. It reframes the communal journey as something dynamic, joyful and deeply incarnational.”

Synodality is like dancing

Cardinal Blase J. Cupich This article by Cardinal Cupich was first published in Italian in L’Osservatore Romano on July 7: My first introduction to the art of dancing was not as a teenager attending a sock hop. It was on Wednesday evenings when my siblings and I, along with cousins and other kids from the parish, gathered at the church hall to learn Croatian folk dances. The style of dance was called “kolo,” a word that means “circle,” for dancers would link hands or hold each other at the waist to dance often in syncopated steps in a circular line or chain. We were told that in the “old country,” the kolo was a means of socialization, the center of village social life and often the main venue for young women and men to get to know each other. Admittedly, when I first heard the word “synodality,” it was strange to my ears. In time, I gained a better understanding as I explored various explanations. I continue to find helpful the 2018 document “Synodality in the Life and Mission of the …

Survey: Brazilian Catholic Youth Seek Stronger Doctrine, Reverent Liturgy

Young Catholics in Brazil are expressing a desire for deeper faith formation, greater emphasis on holiness, and well-celebrated liturgy, while also voicing frustration with what they see as an excessive focus on sociopolitical issues in the Church, according to a national survey presented to the Brazilian Bishops' Conference (CNBB).
The 2025 survey, conducted by the CNBB's Episcopal Commission for Youth with academic partners, gathered responses from more than 11,000 Catholics aged 12 to 29 across Brazil. It used a voluntary online questionnaire rather than a representative random sample.
According to the partial results (document below), holiness and the Christian faith were the most frequently cited topics of interest among respondents.
Many also expressed a desire for stronger formation in Catholic teaching, greater emphasis on Scripture and the Eucharist, and well-celebrated liturgy.
Asked what makes participation in the Church more difficult, respondents most often pointed to a lack …More

California Catholics confront 'gay pride' Mass

California MassResistance Catholics confront “gay pride" Mass and radical priests in San Diego For “Pride” - church interior is desecrated and Mass service altered Our Catholics have had enough: “Go, and sin no more!” July 16, 2026 Contrasting messages from San Diego Catholics: Traditional Catholics outside (left) vs radical message inside (right) during the St. John the Evangelist Church's "pride" Mass. For many years, faithful Catholics have endured a disturbing pro-LGBT turn in many of their churches. But lately, in some places, that has gone completely overboard. And many Catholics have had enough of it. The Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego is the most “LGBTQ+” area in town. One would hope that the most prominent Catholic Church there, St. John the Evangelist, would be a beacon of light and truth on that issue. But sadly, it has gone in the other direction. St. John the Evangelist Church in San Diego. Throughout San Diego County, July 11-19 has been designated as “San Diego Pride …

The Judge on how The American government behaved lawfully but unconstitutionally

... when they seized Max Blumenthal, says Judge Andrew Napolitano. But when they unlawfully kidnapped Nicaragua's president Maduro, it doesn't diminish the government's case against him.
INTERVIEW: The American government behaved lawfully but unconstitutionally

Netanyahu declared the following: “In the last three years, through joint efforts, we have prevented the destruction of the Third Temple…Together, with the help of God, we will ensure the eternity of Israel.” Netanyahu seems to be equating the “Third Temple” with the State of Israel, which he speaks of as “eternal.”

Nuncio Gänswein Praises Leo XIV and Trump - Attacks Putin

Archbishop Georg Gänswein, currently Nuncio to the Baltic States, praised Pope Leo XIV and U.S. President Donald Trump while attacking Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with DomRadio.de on July 22.
Monsignor Gänswein said Pope Leo XIV has brought "a new sense of relief" to the Church.
"Peace is the key word," he believes. "From his very first address, Pope Leo placed the peace of the Risen Christ at the center of his message."
According to the nuncio, the Pope's emphasis on peace has [allegedly] transformed the atmosphere. "It has turned headwinds into tailwinds. Whether that wind will change again remains impossible to predict."
Bond with Pope Benedict XVI
Reflecting on his years alongside Benedict XVI, Archbishop Gänswein said their relationship developed from a professional one into a close personal friendship.
"We not only worked together but also lived under one roof and spent every day together," he recalled. "During the ten years after his resignation, our relationship …More
