Pierre Henri53 minutes ago Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes Starbucks employees expose that Starbucks is using “blending powder” in many of their newer drinks This new powder was just introduced this month. If you drink Starbucks you should be concerned about this. This “blending powder” consists of Gum arabic, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, natural flavor, silica and stevia extract (rebaudioside-A) The reason they use it is because it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer. The gums and other components create a smoother, more consistent frozen blended texture and slows separation that would otherwise happen soon after the drink leaves the blender Starbucks employees have been making videos saying it makes their throats hurt, makes them cough and makes their head hurt. The silica is silicon dioxide and acts as an anti-caking agent. This is a very controversial ingredient for health concerns But it’s also a concern for these Starbucks employees because inhaling it is dangerous. Fine silica …More

Sorry, I don't buy it. Any pope worthy of the name is not merely a script-reader, and, if he can't discern that which is wrong (or 'wrongly phrased') he's on autopilot, and should recuse himself from his office.
After the 2018 Sino-Vatican agreement “terrible things happen to Catholics” in the Fujian province, an anonymous Chinese bishop who is unaffiliated with the Chinese state church ‘Patriotic Association’, told Anthony Clark for CatholicWorldReport.com on August 23. The bishop speaks of a “state of emergency”. As government influence over the bishops increases, “the integrity of the Catholic faith will suffer.” To “assure the survival of China’s Church,” new bishops have been “secretly consecrated.” The bishop says the faithful question Rome’s genuine concern for their “spiritual well-being” when the Holy See approves government-selected bishops whom they regard as too reliable to the state. The number is unknown, but he suggested that “at least ten new bishops” were consecrated for the underground community in the Fujian province. #newsTzdkbhbakv

Worse than Germany: A contemporary dance and sound performance was incorporated into the celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption at the Church of Sant Joan Baptista in Muro, Mallorca. It was entitled El Vol Màgic (“The Magic Flight”). According to the Diocese of Mallorca, the work was “conceived specifically for the liturgical context of the celebration of the Assumption of the Mother of God.” The project was directed by a musician and developed together with a dancer and choreographer, an organist, and a sound specialist. According to the diocesan description, the project grew out of research into Mallorca’s traditional observances surrounding the Assumption and sought to explore the relationship between “sound, body, space and ritual.” #newsPvjzmshrbf

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira – Folha de S. Paulo, May 29, 1978 – This is the fact in its brutality: Brazil has venerated Our Lady as its special patroness for more than two centuries, and this veneration is directed to her under the invocation of the Immaculate Conception of Aparecida. Our Lady Aparecida! This exclamation often comes to mind for Brazilians, especially on important occasions. It may be the cry of an afflicted soul addressing God through the intercession of the Mediatrix, who refuses nothing to men and to whom God, in turn, refuses nothing. It may also be the exclamation of a soul unable to contain its joy, pouring out its gratitude at the feet of the Mother, from whom all benefits come to us. The story of the small, dark terracotta image, with its large blue mantle on which precious stones shine and the Queen of Brazil’s crown on her forehead, would fill books. If conceived as I would imagine them, these books should contain not only the distinguished historical facts …More
