“Recognizing the work of grace in situations of failure.” Pope Leo XIV opened a Vatican meeting on marriage and family in the Paul VI Audience Hall on October 7, marking the 10th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia. Presidents of bishops’ conferences, bishops and experts participate. “In many contexts, a growing distance has emerged between the way sex and intimacy are experienced and the Christian vision of marriage,” Leo XIV admitted. Speaking about "fragility" and "wounded" situations, he asked whether the Church can “recognize the work of grace even in situations marked by limitations, wounds, and apparent failure.”

Ap@statePrevost challenges Christ himself. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Are you not aware that wrongdoers will never inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, extortioners, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
Suicide of a priest: Bernard Card, 73, parish priest of Sainte-Chantal Church in Dijon, France, has committed suicide (pictured left). The Diocese of Dijon announced his “tragic death,” which occurred during the night of October 4–5 at the Sainte-Chantal presbytery. Archbishop Antoine Hérouard (pictured right) described the suicide as “completely unexpected and difficult to understand.” According to reports citing his message to diocesan clergy, Rev. Card had recently been tired and had previously been deeply affected by the suicide of his brother. Ordained in 1981, Rev. Card served the Diocese of Dijon for more than four decades and had been parish priest of Sainte-Chantal since 2019. Despite the suicide, he will be buried at Sainte-Chantal on October 13. His death comes less than two years after another priest of the Diocese of Dijon, Rev. Claude-Marie Millet, also committed suicide. #newsAywayqmkjl
Christ was “flirting”: strange language at Leo XIV’s meeting on Amoris laetitia. At the Vatican event marking 10 years of Amoris Laetitia, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., presented a fellow Dominican’s reading of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman: “In a somewhat provocative way, but I think it is a useful provocation, he calls the first stage ‘flirt.’” “A conversation between a woman and a man who are both alone.” As Jesus gradually transforms the conversation, Alford says “the ambiguity persists.” Later, after Christ confronts the woman about her five husbands and the man she is currently with, Sr. Alford says she realizes: “This man is not just flirting.”
At the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia anniversary event, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., approvingly presented a fellow Dominican’s “provocative” description of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as beginning with a “flirt” — adding that “the ambiguity persists” before Christ confronts her with the truth.
Isra was killed while making a doll from clay. Just 24 hours later, her mother followed her. On September 1, 2026, little Isra Al-Hassi was inside her family’s tent east of Deir al-Balah, sitting beside her mother, Umm Islam, playing with colored clay and shaping her favorite doll. Suddenly, Israeli gunfire tore through the tent, killing Isra instantly and critically wounding her mother. Isra had come after 17 years of waiting. Her mother could not survive losing her. The following day, September 2, Umm Islam died from her injuries. A little girl shaped a doll from clay; a mother shaped 17 years of waiting into a dream named Isra. Then they left together. theAxisofTruth
Yes indeed. A thousand times YES. This has been going on since before Vatican II, but that council sped up and strengthened the church's self-destruction.

BREAKING! According to hearsay, the Mostar bishops Žanič and Perič were allegedly "victims of slander"—a claim reported by some websites based solely on assertions made to serve a specific agenda. This stirred-up "Medjugorje controversy," propagated by numerous opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions, reeks of malicious intent—or even a coordinated campaign. Yet, the opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions have "forgotten"—or simply refuse to see—and are sweeping under the rug the objective, accessible facts regarding the very matters they claim to "refute" through mere hearsay.

Happy Feast day to Our Lady of Victory. Now known as Our Lady of The Most Holy Rosary. Our Lady of Victory Please pray for us. Link to a short story. Pope Pius V was the first to give the Blessed Mother the title of “Our Lady of Victory,” instituting devotion to her after Christian forces defeated the Ottomans at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. In 1629, France’s King Louis XIII honored Mary as “Our Lady of Victories,” dedicating a church in Paris in thanks for his own military successes. By 1837, the church, then a basilica, was the site for the Archconfraternity for the Conversion of Sinners. A special group of American visitors stopped there in 1851.
