“Chapter IV The Virgin Mother delivered a certain monk devoted to her from the Devil and also converted him from the habit of drunkenness. The story goes that a monk devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary having entered the cellar of the abbey, so soaked himself in strong wine that he soon became senseless. And, after remaining there some time, awaking presently from his drunken sleep he tried to go to the church through the cloister, and there met him the Devil under the appearance of a very great bull trying to pierce him with its horns. Then there came to him a very beautiful maiden with long hair flowing over her shoulders and holding in her right hand a linen handkerchief, who rated the devil, and bade him depart from the household of God; then suddenly both visions vanished. But when that monk walked on and approached the church, the Devil again came in the shape of a dreadful dog, who leapt violently upon him. Thereupon appeared that maiden, compelling him to depart and again rescuing …More
Dozulé Is 'Not Supernatural': Tucho Fernández, Pope Leo XIV's Prefect of the Dicastery for the "Doctrine of the Faith" has confirmed the decision of the Bishop of Bayeux-Lisieux that the alleged apparitions in Haute-Butte de Dozulé, France, are 'non-supernatural', meaning that they do not have 'an authentic divine origin'. They were claimed by Madeleine Aumont between 1972 and 1978. The message of Dozulé is the request to build a 738-metre-high, 123-metre-wide luminous cross, called the Glorious Cross, which would be visible from afar as a symbol of universal redemption and a sign of the allegedly imminent return of Christ.
Le diocèse de Bayeux-Lisieux a publié un communiqué confirmant la décision du Dicastère pour la Doctrine de la Foi concernant les événements de Dozulé. Dans une lettre adressée à Mgr Jacques Habert, le Dicastère réaffirme de manière définitive le caractère non surnaturel des prétendues apparitions rapportées entre 1972 et 1978 par Madeleine Aumont. Cette décision s’inscrit dans la continuité des conclusions déjà établies par Mgr Badré. Le diocèse invite les fidèles à accueillir ce discernement de l’Église et à recentrer leur foi sur la Croix du Christ et la vie sacramentelle.
José Camilo Arbeláez Montoya was appointed Bishop of Vélez (Santander) on 14 November 2025. Born in Bogotá in 1961, he first studied veterinary medicine, before entering seminary in Medellín. What makes him particularly interesting: –in 2001 he created Fundación Pan y Paraíso, a charity serving vulnerable children with food, formation, and pastoral care. – He has a strong charismatic identity. His preaching often centers on the Holy Spirit, interior healing, and “renewal of baptismal grace”; he teaches a Catholic theology of the Bautismo en el Espíritu Santo rooted in John XXIII’s “nuevo Pentecostés” and Paul VI’s “perenne Pentecostés”. – He has a poetic, affective pastoral style. Parishioners describe him as “el sacerdote de los poemas,” a man whose preaching mixes warmth, imagery, and spiritual tenderness. – He is present in international charismatic circles, including in Italy, where he has written short spiritual texts and presided at major renewal gatherings. – Despite hi
"How I love my Mother! What would have become of me, if I had not had Our Lady? She has preserved me from countless dangers. Ah, my dear Mother, I will love Thee always and forever!" - St. Gemma Galgani
It's behind a paywall. Anyway, who cares? Mainstream media is owned and operated in the interests of the elite; the globalists who meet to figure out new ways of depopulation (ie, getting rid of us useless eaters).
Bishop Strickland called the USCCB to address this "event". He was totally ignored and isolated. This was his reaction on X: Dear Faithful Catholics These words came to me after awakening this morning. They are words I should have said to break the silence after my intervention at the USCCB meeting. I say them now to Pope Leo, to the bishops and to all who claim to be disciples of Jesus Christ. “How long will you halt between two masters? If you believe Christ is Lord, then follow Him! If the world is your master, then go to it! But no longer profane His sanctuary while you betray the Cross!” Bishops, STOP with the games! STOP with the lies. STOP turning a blind eye to the little ones! A massive stockpile of millstones is ready to be distributed among you. One for Pope Leo, a truck load for the Curia in the Vatican, and cargo ships full for the vast majority of today’s successors of the Apostles. How dare I speak these words, how dare I judge these princes of the Church? No brothers,…More
It would be interesting to ask a legit canonist if the sacrament was actually conferred. In my mind, I would wonder if this man had proper intent. Was he "joining" the Church for reasons of the actual Faith or to make some political statement or attention-seeking stunt?
'Confirmed' into what, precisely? While we cannot judge the souls of one another, that it has been staged as a 'public event' (with the ever 'publicity addicted' James Martin in attendance) rather than a private and personal one speaks volumes about what it was actually about.
It's blindly obvious for "those who have eyes to see" that a so-called 'church' that confirms people like this is NOT the True Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ and built on apostolic teaching!
Longtime high school history teacher Jim McMurtry was suspended in May 2021 after commenting on unmarked graves at Indigenous residential schools while teaching at Robert Bateman Secondary School in Abbotsford, British Columbia. During a class discussion, he mentioned that most deaths in Indigenous residential schools were due to disease. A student complained, and the school district ruled that his comments were "inappropriate". McMurtry knows that his statements were historically accurate and argues that he was dismissed for challenging widely accepted narratives. He was officially fired on February 21, 2025.
A Spanish Catholic bishop is under investigation by the Vatican over an allegation of sexual abuse dating back three decades, his diocese confirmed this week.
For several days, Spain’s newspaper El País has filled its pages with reports of alleged sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. Here is why. Vatican investigation against Spanish bishop One case centers on a Vatican investigation into Bishop Rafael Zornoza Boy, 76, of Cádiz y Ceuta. He is accused of homosexually abusing a male minor in the 1990s while serving as rector of the Getafe seminary. Bishop Zornoza denies the charge as "false". He has stepped back from duties while the Vatican inquiry proceeds. A canonical tribunal in Madrid, under the supervision of the Archbishop of Seville, is handling the case. Abuse-"coverage" as political control Carlos Balén argues on InfoVaticana.com on November 12 that the wave of abuse coverage is about political control. He sees it as a strategy to keep a weakened Church submissive by constantly reviving its scandals: “The Spanish bishops are hostages of their own guilt,” Balén writes. “For fear that someone might pronounce their name next to …More
