The talk of a Catholic revival spurred by a surge in adult conversions is misplaced, writes Matthew Schmitz in FirstThings.com (May 12). Conversions show no signs of offsetting the broader decline of Catholic life in the United States. Schmitz points to statistics. In 2000, 2.6 million American children attended Catholic schools. By 2025, that number had fallen to 1.6 million. In 2001, more than a quarter-million Catholic weddings took place in the United States; by 2024, there were only around 107,000. Infant baptisms have also collapsed: more than one million infants were baptized in the Church in 2001, compared with fewer than half a million in 2024. "Catholicism" in Service of U.S. Political Interests At the same time, Schmitz argues that while the Church is shrinking institutionally, Catholic ideas and language are allegely shaping public debate in America. Discussions about immigration, war, political authority, and moral responsibility are now often conducted using Catholic concepts …More

Our Lady’s prayers are so powerful! e.l.f Cosmetics co-founder Deacon Scott Borba will be ordained a priest on May 23, 2026, in the Diocese of Fresno, California. Deacon Borba is a former esthetician, actor, model, author, and singer who gave up his multimillion-dollar career to answer a call to the priesthood. He spent over 20 years working in the health and beauty industry, and donated all of his wealth to charity after answering a lifelong call to the priesthood at the age of 42. According to Angelus News, Borba said God called him to the priesthood at the age of 10, but he “accepted late.” He also told his conversion story to yourcentralvalley.com in a 2019 interview, explaining that “God has blessed me with everything under the sun.” Borba said he asked God to allow him to fulfill multiple dreams, to which he felt the Lord say “yes.” “He not only blessed me with blessed me with money, and awareness, and just every business I had, he allowed me to have success with it,” Borba …
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes A grandmother who’s almost 103 years old speaks in this video. She’s healthy, alert and explains something shocking When she was growing up in America, people weren’t getting sick. People wouldn’t even go to the doctor and just get over things we’re now told we need vaccines for We are being lied to. Somehow Americans did just dine without the 75 recommended and required vaccines
The Director of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros, says every country in the world is now expected to fall in line with his International Health Regulations because of hantavirus. He says it is now a moral obligation for nations to submit to and believe in his Global Health Order. "It's only when we support each other that we can respond more effectively to viruses and outbreaks." "Countries are expected to cooperate based on International Health Regulations."
"PSALM 36 Be not angry with the wicked, O Lady: sweeten their fury by thy grace. O ye religious and cloistered souls, hope in her: confide in her, ye priests and seculars. Take delight in her praises: and she will grant the petitions of your heart. Better is a little with her grace: than treasures of silver and precious stones. Glory be to thee forever, O Queen of Heaven: and never forget us at any time. Glory be to the Father, etc."

Draw near unto her with reverence and devotion: and let your heart be delighted in her salutation. Give unto her the sacrifice of praise: and be ye inebriated from the breasts of her sweetness. For she sheds upon you the rays of her loving kindness: and she will enlighten you with the splendors of her mercy. Her fruit is most sweet: it grows ever sweeter in the mouth and the heart of the wise. Glory be to the Father, etc. PSALM 33 I will bless Our Lady at all times: and her praise shall never fail in my mouth.

“O Legionário”, São Paulo, May 14th 1944 by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Nearly 30 years ago, the first worldwide conflagration was moving toward its decline. With the initial impetus of the Teutonic invasion contained, the French set about reconquering lost territory. For high-level politicians and military observers, the final result of the struggle was no longer in doubt. The entire strategy of the Germans was based on the hope of the blitzkrieg’s triumph. The first toss of the dice met with immense possibilities. But it was the only one. The Germans had lost. As for the Allies, it was just a question of time. Although on the battlefields the struggle remained white hot and German cannons thundered near Paris, financiers, sociologists, and politicians had already begun to murmur behind the scenes about how they would organize the postwar world. Their private whispering held far greater significance than the public clamor of the cannons. On the battlefields, a war that in essence had …More
Obey Your Enemies What Scripture says about corrupt shepherds should end the schism debate The schismatics have a story they tell about themselves. The hierarchy has grown so corrupt, so faithless, so brazen in its departures from tradition, that faithful Catholics have no choice but to separate. Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures. When Rome fails, the remnant must act. It is a compelling story. It is directly contradicted by Jesus Christ. Matthew 23 opens with one of the most extraordinary commands in the Gospels. Our Lord turns to the crowds and announces: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; so practice and observe whatever they tell you.” Full stop. No asterisk. No escape clause reading unless the corruption becomes sufficiently grave. Obey them. Who were these men He commanded obedience to? Read the rest of the chapter. Whitened sepulchres. Sons of hell. Men who devoured widows’ houses, shut the kingdom of heaven against the faithful, and were about …More
Not always simple. Whats the answer when two different Popes teach opposing doctrine or teach in direct opposition to scripture? Should young seminarians have obeyed when Cardinal McCarrick instructed them to sleep with him in his beach house bed?
