Ever since a couple of Russian Orthodox clerics were told not to covert to the Catholic Church, things have gone downhill. Missionaries have ceased preaching the Gospel and Catholic baptisms have dwindled. Basically, there is no more Catholic evangelization.
Brazilian Bishop believes in "Goddess" and embraces "all sexual diversity": Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes, 64, of Brejo, Maranhão, presided over a Eucharist at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Conception on September 7, Brazil’s Independence Day. After Communion and before the final blessing, two young men recited the “Creed of the Youth of the Ecclesial Base Communities.” Developed in 2016, the text speaks of a “God/Goddess,” described as “liberating and revolutionary.” This creed explicitly rejects belief in a “hierarchical Church” while “embracing all sexual diversity.” Before the recitation, Bishop Mendes introduced the creed as a “supplication from the youth of Latin America, who stand before God asking him to come to meet us.”
A heterodox creed invoking a “God/Goddess” and featuring left-wing political language was recited at the annual “Cry of the Excluded” Mass celebrated by Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes of Brejo, Brazil.
If there was one speech which swung it, it was this from Ashley Dalton_MP, who has stage 4 cancer and spoke so powerfully about how the bill failed the people it purported to serve:
Pie VI, le pape martyr de la Révolution française Mort en exil à Valence en 1799, Pie VI fut l’un des principaux adversaires de la Constitution civile du clergé. Avec le père Jean-François Thomas, jésuite et auteur de nombreux ouvrages, Les Belles Figures de l’Histoire revient sur la déportation du pape, son affrontement avec la Révolution française et les persécutions subies par l’Église sous la Terreur.

The priest behind the infamous “Eucharist at sea” has been appointed head of University Pastoral Ministry for the Archdiocese of Milan for the next five years. In July 2022, Don Mattia Bernasconi celebrated a Novus Ordo Mass waist-deep in the sea off Crotone, using an inflatable mattress as an “altar.” Since September 1, he has overseen the Archdiocese’s pastoral work with university students, while continuing as chaplain at Humanitas University, a position he has held since 2023.
Il prete della Messa sul materassino “promosso”: don Mattia Bernasconi nuovo responsabile della Pastorale Universitaria
Czy ten włoski ksiądz Mattia Bernasconi który odprawiał Najświętszą Ofiarę na materacu unoszących się na falach morza ma świadomość, że czyni profanację z przyczyny własnej głupoty i braku wyobraźni? Co na to biskup lokalny? Kolejny duchowny pajac któremu się zachciało "unowocześniać" Kościół Święty.
Homily Saturday, September 12, 2026 1 Corinthians 10:14-22 “My beloved, avoid idolatry.” Even a simple phrase, a word, can be an idol. Idols are what keeps us far from the Love of God. Luke 6:43-49 Jesus said, “People do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.” We receive the Love of God by living the joy that is within us, each day. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
There are so few African-American bishops because of “racism,” Washington Auxiliary Bishop Robert Boxie said in a September 7 interview with Catholic News Service. He was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on May 1. The numbers: Of 268 active U.S. bishops, five (2%) are Black. Black Americans make up 2% of U.S. Catholics and, over the past 20 years, about 2% of U.S. priestly ordinations.
Why are there so few Black bishops in America? “The short answer is racism.” America’s youngest bishop, Robert Boxie, Auxiliary of Washington.
The Next Terrorist Attack Is Predictable nytimes.com/…09/10/opinion/911-ai-terrorist-attac… Sept. 10, 2026 By Philip Bobbitt Mr. Bobbitt is a legal scholar and was the senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council under President Bill Clinton On Sept. 11, 2001, I was in an airplane at Kennedy International Airport bound for Europe, scheduled to leave at 8:30 a.m. For some reason, we were removed from the rotation and sat on the tarmac as other planes took off. As I glanced over the shoulder of my seatmate, I saw a dark gray wafer-shaped explosion, two or three floors thick, violently thrust forward from one of the World Trade Center’s two towers. Some minutes later, as I watched intently, a huge golden sunburst erupted from the second tower. I knew what had happened. Sept. 11 was not only predictable; it had been predicted. When I drafted my final memo to the president’s national security adviser, Sandy Berger, at the end of the summer of 1999, I wrote, among …More
Katherine Bennett tells it like it is: «I don’t see why I should have to get fat if I eat fatty foods. I don’t see why I should have to get pregnant if I have sex. I don’t see why I should have to be rejected from Cambridge if I didn’t earn top grades. I don’t see why I can’t get married if I’m gay. I don’t see why I can’t be a pilot if I’m blind… OK, that last one is a stretch, but the sentiment is the same. In other words: I don’t like the natural consequences, so they must somehow be frustrated artificially. And this is what we have done. Unlike wise parents, who recognise that an infant cannot have whatever he wants — either because it is impossible or because constantly relenting will stunt his flourishing — we have become the parents who give in to every whinge, every tear and every complaint simply to pacify the child. We will even invent things to shield him from the consequences of his choices. What kind of person does that child become? We all know. Roald Dahl knew when he …More
Leo XIV has accepted the early resignation of Bishop Guido Gallese, 64, of Alessandria, Northern Italy, today. Bishop Luigi Testore of neighboring Acqui is the new apostolic administrator. Monsignor Gallese was appointed as Ecclesiastical Assistant to the National Association of Shrines by the Dicastery for Evangelisation. Gallese’s resignation comes eight months after an apostolic visitation by Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello. No report from Bertello’s visitation was published. ANSA reported that complaints about Bishop Gallese had accumulated in Rome over several years and that the visitation examined diocesan administration and finances, including major property projects. The visitation generated overstated headlines over Gallese’s lifestyle: his Tesla, motorcycle, kitesurfing and residence were repeatedly cited in Italian media. However, the deeper conflict appears to have involved Gallese’s governance. Local media described strong opposition from the clergy, particularly over parish …More
Thursday, 11th September 1913: Judge Roan Picked To Get Appointment To New Judgeship, The Atlanta Georgian Well-founded rumor were circulated at the State Capitol Thursday morning that Judge L. S. Roan would be appointed to the Superior Court judgeship created by the last Legislature. Although many rumors have gone the rounds, the one forecasting the appointment of Judge Roan is said to strike just a little closer to the mark than the others. One rumor had it that Chief Justice Ben Hill, of the Court of Appeals, would be appointed, being succeeded on the Appeals Court bench by Judge Roan.
