Third Letter My excellent Lord, — O great treasurer of the Holy Spirit! O new Abraham upon earth! [After these words St. Francis gives a long and severe reproach to ecclesiastics for their covetousness, indolence, and want of charity and zeal for the spiritual welfare of the people; then he says]: Let the kings and princes in Christendom be ashamed of themselves, who live without charity. God has granted them means to lead a good life, and they are bad, having their hands shut up with the accursed lock of avarice; they are stingy in good works and prodigal in doing evil; they spend more than what they have in vanities and in useless things, in order to indulge their passions, oppressing their poor subjects. O wretched, unhappy men! Do you know what vanity is? Do you understand that your people are the creatures and subjects of the Most High God? They are men like you; children of Adam like you; they have been given to you as subjects, not that you might rob and maltreat them, but in …More
"Woe to you because God Almighty will exalt a very poor man of the blood of the Emperor Constantine, son of St. Helena, and of the seed of Pepin, (i.e King Pepin of France) who shall on his breast wear the sign which you have seen at the beginning of this letter (t) (I.e. a cross). Through the power of the Most High he shall confound the tyrants, the heretics, and infidels. He will gather a grand army, and the angels shall fight for them; they shall kill all God’s enemies."
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3a, 14-17 "To possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." Being with God. Letting God love us, and joy will radiate from our hearts. Matthew 23:23-26 Jesus said, "You have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity." God is just; at every moment, He gives us the joy of His love. Let us receive and welcome it. Let us live the joy of love. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

THE happenings of our days are supplying strong arguments that the prophecies of the Holy Scriptures are coming to their realization. Better information means better preparedness. THE SMOKE OF THE ANTICHRIST is not available in book stores. The distribution of this book is carried out by the goodwill and ingenuity of its readers who wish to be the "fragrance of Christ for God" (II Cor. 2, 15), by sharing the light of Christ with their fellow men, in this age of general confusion brought into the world by "the world rulers of this darkness" (Eph. 6, 12). "The Smoke of Satan entered the Church." Paul VI, 1972 "All the earth followed the beast in wonder." (Apoc. 13, 4) ABOUT THE AUTHOR Father J. Vida Elmer was born in Hungary in 1912. He was ordained for the Catholic priesthood in 1936. After his ordination, he served as religion-teacher in one of the public schools in the city of Szeged; then, in different country parishes in Hungary as assistant pastor and administrator.

Leo XIV at Angelus, says that when it comes to pastoral choices, it doesn’t suffice to simply carry on as we always have: “Dear friends, let us learn not to close ourselves off within our own religious convictions and certainties, but rather to remain open to an authentic relationship with Christ. Sometimes, regarding the Christian faith, we settle for hearsay, clichés, or what has been handed down to us—perhaps even with good intentions. Yet Jesus calls us to a personal response, to know Him intimately, and to let our lives be shaped by friendship with Him—in an ever-new encounter that may require us to walk uncharted paths and make choices different from those we had imagined. This applies both to our personal journey and to the path of the Church and its pastoral choices, where we sometimes think it suffices to simply carry on as we always have. Instead, it is important to ask ourselves frequently: Who is the Lord to me? Do I truly know Him? What does His Gospel ask of me today? What …More
Two short video quotes from today's Angelus: Leo XIV offers unusual definitions of faith, suggesting that focusing on what has been handed down to us is insufficient.
In Italy, a Beach Club Run by Nuns Is in Jeopardy nytimes.com/2026/08/19/world/europe/italy-nuns-be… The Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary have hosted beachgoers in the town of Spotorno for decades. But change is coming.
Le suore in «guerra santa» per lo stabilimento Bagni Garrone a Spotorno, il comune lo mette all'asta Un gruppo di suore italiane si sta opponendo ai piani del consiglio comunale di espropriare il loro stabilimento balneare. Si tratta dell'ultimo episodio del lungo dibattito sul monopolio delle concessioni private lungo le coste italiane. La disputa, definita "guerra santa" da alcuni organi di stampa locali, riporta il Guardian, è scoppiata quando un tratto di spiaggia di 50 metri presso Bagni Garrone, una località balneare nella città costiera ligure di Spotorno gestita dalle suore dell'ordine delle Suore di Carità di Santa Maria, è stato messo all'asta pubblica dalle autorità, nel tentativo di conformarsi alle normative europee sulle concessioni balneari e ai regolamenti regionali sulle quote di spiagge gratuite. Le suore gestiscono il resort dal 1946, essendo state esentate dalle normali normative commerciali in quanto utilizzavano i proventi per scopi benefici, tra cui il finanziamento …More
By Elisabetta Povoledo Reporting from Rome Aug. 19, 2026 It’s been billed as the Sisters of Charity versus the mayor. For 80 years or more, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary have occupied a small slice of terrestrial paradise, running one of thousands of beach clubs along Italy’s coast. But this longtime arrangement in Spotorno, an Italian town on the Ligurian Sea, may soon come to an end. The nuns’ beach, like all the Italian coastline, is publicly owned, and local officials say their lease will soon be put up for auction, along with those of other beachfront clubs. Some Spotorno residents are unhappy about it, saying that the nuns had supported the community for many years. Italian news outlets have picked up the story, several of them using variations on “Holy War” in their headlines. But Mayor Mattia Fiorini says he is simply trying to enforce regional and European Union laws that have been ignored for two decades. “Every Italian story seems a soap opera,” he said, adding, “We …More

Does Leo XIV Embrace Borderless Globalism? “People always come before borders, before definitions and institutions,” said Leo XIV at the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples in Rimini, Italy, on Saturday. “This realization stands at the center of Christianity,” he continued with more platitudes, adding: “Evil is not fought with evil. It is time to oppose the false realism that rearms minds, words, and nations with the realism of mercy.”

Revelation 21:21 indicates, albeit metaphorically, that Heaven has 'pearly gates'. I suppose he is in favor of the gates of Hell prevailing against those, as well.
Prevost, UN henchman (accomplice): The mass migration, which is really a crime against our European peoples and ultimately spells the death of Catholic culture, is sugarcoated here by Prevost in an unbearable LEFTIST way.
Clandestine @WarClandestine Now that election fraud is in the spotlight, this video is arguably the most concrete evidence that the Dems use illegals to cheat. Flashback to 11/04/2016: Then President Obama openly encouraged illegals to vote in the 2016 election, and assured them that ICE and Federal law enforcement will NOT seek them out or deport them if they vote. Just four days before the 2016 election, Obama told illegals to vote, and that he would not arrest them for it. Plain as day. This is exactly why we need US MIL/ICE at polling stations in deep blue counties, because we need the illegals to be afraid to vote. We need the exact opposite of what Obama did in 2016. We need the illegals to know that if they try to cheat in our elections, they will be arrested. Whenever someone on the Left says the Dems don’t cheat in elections, or that illegals don’t vote, show them this video. Obama openly told the illegals they were safe to vote. TREASON!
First Letter of Saint Francis of Paola The original of the following letter is allegedly preserved as a precious relic by the respectable family Benedetti in the city of Spoleto: My most esteemed Lord, — Through the grace of the Holy Spirit, and through your merits, but not through my virtue, the spirit of prophecy is granted to me often to foretell most wonderful events in relation to the reformation of the Church of the Most High. From your Lordship shall be born the great leader of the Holy Militia of the Holy Spirit which shall overcome the world, and shall possess the earth so completely that no king or lord shall be able to exist, except he belongs to the Sacred Host of the Holy Ghost. These devout men shall wear on their breasts, and much more within their hearts, the sign of the living God, namely, the cross. The first members of this holy Order shall be natives of the city of ... . where iniquity, vice, and sin abound. But they shall be converted from evil to good; from rebels …More
"That man will begin to meditate on the secrets of God about the long visitation which the Holy Spirit will make and the dominion that he will exercise over the world through the Holy Militia. O! happy man, who shall receive from the Most High the greatest privileges! He will interpret the hidden secrets of the Holy Ghost, and he shall often excite the admiration of men by his revealed knowledge of the internal secrets of their hearts. O, rejoice, my lord, because that Prince above other princes, and King over other kings will hold you in the greatest veneration, and, after having been crowned with three most admirable crowns, will exalt that city, will declare it free and the seat of the Empire, and it shall become one of the first cities of the world. I say nothing more."
"The first members of this holy Order shall be natives of the city of ... . where iniquity, vice, and sin abound. But they shall be converted from evil to good; from rebels against God they shall become most fervent and most faithful in his divine service. That city shall be cherished by God and by the great monarch, the elect and the beloved of the Most High Lord."
The globalist and elites think it's funny what they are doing to both countries. They think they are safe as they have their own crops and livestock etc for themselves. While they try to starve the rest of the world. I just saw part of a video of President Putin talking about how it's starting to hit Russia. A man that doesn't hide a thing from his people or the world. He and his administration are very transparent. Unlike Trump who hides and lies about everything. So far it's hitting them. But not as severe as the ones behind this proxy war want or anticipated. With a great President like Putin and the men he has chosen in all fields they will make out a lot better than any of us. The Blessed Mother will make sure of that.
Second Letter. The original letter is allegedly preserved in the city of Montalto in Calabria: My excellent Lord, — You and your consort desire to have children; you shall have them. Your holy offspring shall be admired upon earth. Among your descendants there will be one who shall be like the sun amidst the stars. He shall be a first-born son; in his childhood he will be like a saint; in his youth, a great sinner; then he will be converted entirely to God and will do great penance; his sins will be forgiven him, and he shall become a great saint. He shall be a great captain and prince of holy men, who shall be called the holy Crociferi (I.e the Cruciferi, cross-bearers) of Jesus Christ, with whom he shall destroy the Mahometan sect and the rest of the infidels. He shall annihilate all the heresies and tyrannies of the world. He shall reform the Church of God by means of his followers, who shall be the best men upon earth in holiness, in arms, in science, and in every virtue, because …More
"He shall reform the Church of God by means of his followers, who shall be the best men upon earth in holiness, in arms, in science, and in every virtue, because such is the will of the Most High. They shall obtain the dominion of the whole world, both temporal and spiritual, and they shall support the Church of God until the end of time. I say no more."

Today, Vice President J.D. Vance attended a Mass in the Roman rite with his family at Old St. Mary’s Church in Cincinnati, reports Crisis Magazine editor Eric Sammons on x.com, who was present. “It was nice to see J.D. Vance and his beautiful family at Mass this morning,” Sammons wrote on X on August 23. Sammons said Vance lives nearby and that his family attends several Cincinnati-area parishes when in town. He added that this was Vance’s first visit to Old St. Mary’s since becoming vice president. Vance’s presence brought additional security. According to Sammons, Secret Service agents screened everyone entering the church with handheld wands and checked bags. Sammons said the screening caused only a minute or two of waiting, describing the agents as “professional, efficient, and quite friendly. He also noted that he had heard Vance say his family deliberately varies which churches it attends to avoid repeatedly inconveniencing parishioners at any one parish. #newsBibrwcfcti
German Priest Steps Down to Marry His Longtime Secret Partner: German priest Andreas Unfried, 63, is stepping down after revealing he has been secretly in a relationship with a woman for many years.

The Diocese of Limburg, led by Bishop Georg Bätzing, said it respects his decision and thanked the priest for decades of "service". Unfried, in turn, thanked Bishop Bätzing for treating him with "respect".

Trump’s Economic Approach Draws Concern From Some Republicans nytimes.com/…s/politics/trump-republicans-economy… A plan to lower tariffs on imported beef and trade tensions with Canada have compounded some G.O.P. worries about a central issue in the midterms. By Bayliss Wagner Aug. 23, 2026 President Trump’s economic policies drew a fresh round of concern from some Republicans this weekend who criticized his trade policies, as others in the party sidestepped questions about his broader approach amid a midterm election that has put consumer prices front and center. Representative Ashley Hinson of Iowa, a Republican running in one of the most competitive Senate races, reiterated her opposition to Mr. Trump’s recent announcement that he would lower tariffs for up to 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef over the next 90 days, which he claimed would push down costs. “We need to focus on affordability, but I think this isn’t the way to do that,” Ms. Hinson told Fox News in an interview …More
