Guadalupe Mural Vandalized at Texas Church | Shalom World News A mural of Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in South Texas was vandalized this week. Originally painted in the 1990s by a repentant former gang member, the artwork has become a symbol of peace for the community. Parish administrator Fr. Carlos De La Rosa said the church is praying for the person responsible and expressed hope that he would repent. After seeing a post about the vandalism, Robstown artist Marin Garcia immediately drove to the church and restored the mural.
An informal lecture gave on August 14, 1965 (*) by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira The Assumption was a beautiful favor God granted to His mother. It began when Our Lady, very suavely died. Her passing is customarily called Our Lady’s dormition because the grace with which she passed from this life and the short elapse before her resurrection, made her death seem more like a dream. After death, Our Lady resurrected, in imitation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. God then assumed her, body and soul, into Heaven, in the presence of the Apostles and many of the faithful. The Assumption was a true glorification of Our Lady before the eyes of men and will remain so until the end of the world. Nevertheless, it was a mere foreshadowing of the glory she received in Heaven. To benefit fully from this mystery, we will make a “composition of place,” according to the method of Saint Ignatius. Thus, we will imagine how the Assumption took place. In this, we are free to reconstruct the event as best conforms to …More
2024-02-22 Reconquest – Time to Join My Army – A Call to Priests and Bishops Received in Spanish] [God the Father] To My children scattered throughout the world – Your God speaks to you from the little holy Hill, Our new Tepeyac. The time has come, My children, to call you to join yourselves to My army – the army that I have formed and forged in silence, in what is hidden, with countless trials, sacrifices and sufferings. How many small battalions I have formed throughout the world, on each continent. As cisterns of pure water to give life to My hungry and abandoned children. Hungry for the Truth, hungry for Me – and abandoned by those who have become a stumbling block to Me: My priest sons, to whom I have given the mandate and mission to care for My sheep, to protect them and nourish them with My Sacred Food. But these shepherds have fallen asleep and have abandoned you, My children, the vast majority of them. I have faithful Shepherds – the joy of My Heart[1] – who, united to My Jesus …More
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Angelo Accattino as Nuncio to Colombia. He had until now served as Nuncio to Tanzania. Monsignor Accattino appears to be a reliable institutional exponent of the Francis pontificate: he praised Francis's magisterium as “firm and secure” and spoke positively of Amoris Laetitia. He embraced the Amazon Synod process and the Synod on Synodality. In 2026, he explicitly spoke of "journeying together as a Synodal Church". His online profile emphasizes ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, social justice, and the characteristic pastoral vocabulary of the Francis era.
Col. Douglas Macgregor, who has been consistently pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine in that war has been consistently wrong in his claims of Ukraine’s early demise, yet he has now created a series of scripted videos where he makes dramatic and suspicious claims. It appears to be a new tactic to gain some credibility on the internet which has become tired of his failed pro-Russian message. My main problem with his claims is the telltale issue that I always ask when a person is claiming super secret insider information, “How could he know what he is claiming?” and, it was real, why would his insider sources let him broadcast it to the world?
The description is in Russian. Oh! My, the Russians are coming. The Russians are coming. Russia, Russia, Russia. Let's blame Russia! The level of hatred and ignorance is out of control. No wonder Yandex has grown so much. They don't censor like OTHER countries do. They don't track us and watch us like a hawk like OUR countries do. Most intelligent people don't turn to wikipedia like some post. Twisted history and facts. Well I will look into this forta/chat now. If it's from Russia, I know it will be safe to use.
The wig is getting bigger and fluffier. The eyebrows are dyed. He is starting a porn-stache. Next up will be a tattoo sleeve. Yep. Nothing has changed. Same looney.
Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters with Excommunication: On August 14, Bishop Michael F. Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, issued a “pastoral” letter concerning the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) — using sharp and decidedly unsynodal language. He warns that knowingly providing public, organizational, material, or financial support to FSSPX communities is "objectively sinful" and "can result in excommunication." Bishop Olson even described the FSSPX as a “self-formed and schismatic sect.” He specifically mentioned two FSSPX churches within his diocese — Our Lady of Mount Carmel in North Richland Hills and Our Lady of Fatima in Sanger — as well as the former Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Arlington, whose nuns have been in open conflict with Bishop Olson for years.
Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters With Excommunication
Very pastoral of the bishop. It is remarkable that the "listening", "Synodal" church refuses to listen to the clear, respectful questions raised by the SSPX. Is it possible that their agenda cannot stand up to clear and objective review.
The History of the Assumption of Mary: From Ancient Tradition to Catholic Dogma 3| SG News Every August 15, Catholics around the world celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary—but the story behind this great feast reaches back many centuries. From the early Christian tradition of Mary's Dormition, to medieval accounts of St. Thomas and Mary's Holy Girdle, discover how devotion to the Assumption developed throughout the Church. In 1950, Pope Pius XII formally defined the Assumption as Catholic dogma in Munificentissimus Deus, teaching that Mary was taken body and soul into heavenly glory while leaving open the question of whether she experienced death. More than a historical doctrine, the Assumption points toward the Christian hope of resurrection and eternal life. Stay Updated with @SGNEWS-SG – Faith, Society & Global Christian Perspective
Original Sin, Man’s Greatest Vulnerability, and Divine Order The Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden reveals enduring truths about human nature, divine order, and spiritual vulnerability. Man’s greatest moral weakness is the voice of women, a vulnerability Satan immediately recognized and exploited. Scripture and the Church Fathers also teach that God established a natural order: men are to lead, and women are to submit and follow. When this order is inverted, sin, disorder, and suffering follow—a principle visible from Eden to biblical history and the New Testament. --- I. Adam and Eve: The Archetype of Male Leadership and Female Submission Genesis 2:18–24 establishes the relational and moral order of creation: > “The Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him… Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Adam was created first, entrusted with stewardship over …More
Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira An informal lecture gave on August 13, 1965 (*) The Assumption(Taddeo di Bartolo) In ancient times, people referred to the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady as the feast of Our Lady of Glory. They understood that the Assumption of Our Lady was not merely the physical event of her leaving this earth after resurrecting by virtue of her Divine Son and being taken to Heaven: it was also her glorification. After her humble and unknown life on this earth, Our Lady had a greater role after the death of Our Lord as Queen and Mother of the Catholic Church. Our Lady went through all kinds of suffering, anguish and humiliations on earth. It is fitting that Our Lord glorified her in the eyes of men through her assumption. She was glorified with this unique privilege whereby a merely human creature is taken to material heaven by the angels. From there, she certainly was taken in a mysterious way to the physical and immaterial heights of the heavenly Paradise, where she …More
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna wrote an editorial for the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption without stating the bodily dimension of the Marian feast and the eternal destiny of man. The cardinal reflects on Mary, war, peace, fraternity, and the divisions of our age, but his interpretation of the feast repeatedly turns the reader’s attention back toward earthly concerns. Some key passages: - “The reunion with the Son, in the bosom of the Father—this is the meaning of the Assumption.” - “Yes, Mary is assumed into heaven. But she still stands beneath the Cross.” - “The mystery of Mary, assumed into heaven by her Son, invites us to take up again the weaving of fraternity among peoples as the heart of the Church’s mission today.” - “A Mother in heaven who teaches us to be brothers and sisters all together on Earth.” The editorial then moves through war, democracy, the global economy, the condition of women, poverty, digital culture, human relationships …More

Saint Stanislaus Kostka | The 17-Year-Old Saint Who Longed for Heaven | Catholic Saint Story On August 15, 1568, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a remarkable young Jesuit novice died in Rome. His name was Saint Stanislaus Kostka. He was only 17 years old. Born in Poland in 1550 to a noble family, Stanislaus was sent with his brother to study in Vienna. From an early age, he displayed an extraordinary desire for prayer, holiness, the Eucharist, and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. But Stanislaus believed God was calling him even further: He wanted to become a Jesuit. His family strongly opposed the idea. When the Jesuits in Vienna would not accept him without parental permission, Stanislaus made an astonishing decision. HE WALKED HUNDREDS OF MILES TO FOLLOW GOD'S CALL Disguised in simple clothing, Stanislaus left Vienna and travelled on foot towards Germany. There he met Saint Peter Canisius, who recognised the young man's sincerity and vocation. …More
I am posting a link to a great conversation refuting @ Instaurare Omnia in Christo. Please read it for a Catholic analysis of the Russian propaganda posted on GTV! Thanks! Father Gruner
You are ridiculous and a child. RUSSIA DIDN'T BRING ERRORS TO THE WORLD. The jews did. A commie did. Millions of Catholics and....... ORTHODOX murdered by their hands. A plan they had to destroy Russia and wipe out Russians for about a century now. The plan to divide her. With 56 + countries against ONE! And you are part of the evil ones. Spreading your lies and hatred to others. Constantly repeating something so others can start to believe it. What is said about that? REPEAT IT ENOUGH TIMES AND THE PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IT. If that Pope was alive today, he would surely put you in your place. But if GOD and The Blessed Mother can't make you see, I doubt a Pope will. You have a mission to spread propaganda. And you really stink at it.
@frawley Thank you for your comment. The Last encyclical from the Vatican on atheistic communism clearly stated Moscow as the center of the anti Christian attack on the Church and Civilization. Abortion was first legalized in Soviet Russia so it is an "error of Russia." Zionism and the Israeli state are both "error of Russia" as it also comes from Russia. The protocols of the learned elders of zion were first printed in Russia. This is just the tip of the iceberg of Russia's errors. I could also state the possibility that Russia was responsible for setting the stage for WW1. Russia starved 18 million in Holodomor. Stalin's pact with Hitler enabled the beginning of WW2. The CCP murder of 50-100 millions souls, and Red Korea are "errors of Russia." And what of @ V. R. S. claims that Vatican 2 council was the nexus of "Russia's Errors." American feminism is an "error of Russia." This list is not exhaustive. God bless you!
