Called By Name: Fr. Patrick Suh on Mobilizing Parishes for Priestly Vocations "If vocations depend just on me, we're never going to get any." Fr. Patrick Suh joins CatholicTV to share how the Archdiocese of Newark invited parishioners to actively call forth future priests. How do we cultivate a culture of vocations in our local parishes? Fr. Patrick Suh, Vocation Director for the Archdiocese of Newark, sits down with CatholicTV's Jimmy Reynolds to discuss the success of the Called By Name campaign. Fr. Suh shares the providential origins of the initiative—prompted by Cardinal Joseph Tobin—and explains how it launched on Good Shepherd Sunday. Rather than leaving vocation efforts solely to the diocesan office, the campaign empowered families, friends, and fellow parishioners to identify young men in their pews who possess the qualities of a good shepherd. With over 500 unique nominations submitted, Fr. Suh details the next steps: personal invitation letters from the Cardinal, St. Andrew's …More
Mexican Bishop Hops Left and Right Before the Altar: Bishop José Leopoldo González González, 71, of San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, Mexico, hopped and danced in liturgical vestments, including his mitre, during Emaús 2026. The diocesan gathering brought together more than 5,000 young Catholics on 23–24 May in San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco. González explained that a young man had told him the dance was simple—“one step to the right and another to the left” - and joked that he had “fallen into the trap.”
During Emaús 2026 in San Miguel el Alto, Bishop José Leopoldo González González drew attention for his energetic participation with young people during the activities and Mass.
Monsignor Stricklan asks: You who are Catholic: Have you ever heard the word Modernism? Si hablas Español puedes leer una traducción en nuestro Blog: ¿Has oído alguna vez la palabra Modernismo?
The Church has been decimated, as the late great Fr Meuli told us “You can no longer rely on the Church, its every man for himself.” Vatican II proclaimed no “Anathema” you’re ok and I am ok!
Moscow: Drone/AI Homestead Surveillance Already Operational as Poultry Registration Deadline Looms. In Moscow Oblast, the first automated fine of 150,000 rubles was issued to a landowner after drones filmed the property and AI identified hogweed. The system then matched GPS coordinates to property data and automatically issued a citation. This infrastructure for continuous automated surveillance of private property (drones + AI + owner matching + automated fines) is already operational under the banner of invasive-species control. Given a right crisis — be it bird flu, radiation scare after a claimed nuclear incident, or otherwise “contaminated” soil or other public health excuse to render gardens illegal — this same pipeline can be flipped to detect & enforce unregistered backyard gardens and flocks. See my previous report on drone surveillance of livestock/gardens : Thermal Drones Hunt French Farmers' Cattle - … source: rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/6a757e069a7947dc692f217a
this same pipeline can be flipped to detect & enforce unregistered backyard gardens and flocks. I love how they say "CAN BE". Planting the seeds of doubt and suspicion in the minds that don't know a thing of what's really going on or behind the event, law etc. Russia uses Surveillance to detect that sort of thing or worse. DANGEROUS THINGS. Not only hogweed but men who are plotting and planning and making bombs to strike or kill inside of Russia. Someone illegally in the country. People don't know how bad it's gotten in Russia. Strikes every day inside. Russia needs to step up protection and detection of any evil or law breaking there is. Most cities in Russia are allowed animals of all sorts like chickens and certain live stock. If they break the law in areas they are not allowed, then they shouldn't have broken the law. Sure does sound logical to me. Hogweed is very poisonous. Why would anyone be growing it in the first place? Or didn't have it removed professionally? There was …More
WHAT DOES CARDINAL BURKE SAY IS MOST NEEDED FOR MARRIAGES TO THRIVE? | SG News Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has issued a powerful call for Catholics to courageously defend the sanctity of Holy Matrimony and the family, even when faced with ridicule, rejection, or cultural pressure. Preaching at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, during the Feast of St. James the Greater, the cardinal urged the faithful to embrace what the Church has long described as "white martyrdom"—a life of faithful witness through sacrifice rather than bloodshed. Reflecting on the Christian vocation to holiness, Cardinal Burke emphasized that marriage is not merely a human institution but a sacred sacrament rooted in Christ's sacrificial love for His Church. Referencing the enduring teachings of St. John Paul II and the continuing discussions surrounding Amoris Laetitia, he encouraged Catholic families to remain steadfast in the Church's teaching on the permanence and dignity of marriage. …More
Fr Marek Balawendar gives a reflection on how the Incarnation became the Cross at the Annunciation, though came instant by the communication of God’s message to Mary by Angel Gabriel. Not by power or force rather by humility and love The "Stable" (Wood) where the Magi saw the Baby Jesus points to the Wooden Cross at Calvary where Jesus was Crucified. The ’’FIAT’’ of Mary at Annunciation includes suffering which she did not know until revealed by Simeon’s prophecy and manifested at Calvary. The Annunciation is the fulfilment of the Cross At the Annunciation Mary gives Flesh to Jesus which in turn gives humanity Salvation on the Cross. The Cross helps us to say yes, to understand others, ourselves, etc The Cross and Annunciation teach us hope. The cross is not the end, after the cross comes Resurrection. Uniting our doubts, sufferings and worries with Christ, we begin to trust It is difficult to find Love without a Cross and one will not be able to carry a Cross without Love #stationofthecross …More
Bishop Raúl Vera: Homosexuality is a natural phenomenon; it is neither a human perversion nor a disease. It is a condition with which a person is born, and one that we must respect and promote. Visit our Blog: pagina-catolica.blogspot.com
Homosexuality is a mental disease, just any other, kleptomania, psychopathy etc. The inclinations as such are not sinful, but acting upon is. St.Paul surely was not wrong. The good bishop ought to read the bible more often and not the homo propaganda.
$10 Diesel Is Here: The "Off Switch" for Civilization? The era of cheap energy and abundant food is being "turned off" piece by piece, and the latest lever being pulled is the global diesel supply. From Los Angeles gas stations hitting $8 a gallon to farmers paying $10,000 just to fill their tanks for harvest, the "Diesel debacle" has arrived. As refineries across the globe go offline and major exporters shut their borders, we are entering a "perfect storm" that could mirror the collapse of the Roman Empire. This isn't just about the price at the pump; it’s about the 20-30% of global crops that may never make it to your table.
Si yo te digo que los judíos quieren exterminarte me llamas antisemita... ¡A ver si tienes huevos a llamar GENOCIDAS a estos rabinos que te dicen que te quieren exterminar!
The Trump administration is crafting a new nuclear strategy aimed at giving the president more “credible” options to use short-range tactical nuclear weapons in a regional conflict with Russia or China, NBC reports. The doctrine is being shaped by Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby, a long-time advocate of expanding the role of tactical nuclear weapons. His argument is that smaller, lower-yield warheads could be used against battlefield forces and military targets rather than cities. That distinction sounds reassuring until you get to the obvious problem: once nuclear weapons are treated as usable battlefield tools, the line separating conventional war from nuclear war gets much thinner. Critics warn that broadening their role could normalize nuclear weapons use and lower the threshold for escalation. China has accused Washington of "normalizing" nuclear use on the battlefield, warning that the US push for tactical nuclear weapons completely underestimates the risk of retaliation …More
Oh! So much to say about this beast. So many things I warned about. They either happened, was confirmed by their own forked tongues or in the making now. But I will waste my time because they still defend the beast with the forked tongue. Most of us already know he is a beast with a forked tongue. The rest will have their little bubble burst in their face soon enough.

Spanish Bishops Divided over Immigrants in Ceuta: Archbishop Luis Argüello of Valladolid, president of the Spanish bishops’ conference, called the surge “an invasion,” contrasting with the local diocese’s humanitarian response. Argüello said the influx was part of a broader political strategy, arguing that migrants were being used in struggles for “money and power” and that “demographics are a weapon.”
An unusual controversy has erupted in the Church in Angola after an anonymous letter sent to the Apostolic Nunciature in Luanda called for the next bishop of Mbanza Kongo to be white, reports the Substack.com-account The Pillar (August 7). The authors argue that the historic diocese has not developed sufficiently under its three Angolan bishops, while insisting the request is not racially motivated. The Diocese of Mbanza Kongo has rejected the suggestion that the letter represents its faithful. Angolan Catholic commentator Paulo Viana believes the dispute may actually be about dissatisfaction with Bishop Vicente Carlos Kiaziku, whose health problems have kept him away for extended periods, and the battle over his eventual successor. Viana suggests the letter could be intended to derail the possible appointment of Bishop António Lungieki Bengui, auxiliary bishop of Luanda. The controversy is especially striking in Mbanza Kongo, the cradle of Christianity in Angola and home of Henrique of …More
Friday, 8th August 1913 Bits of Circumstantial Evidence, as Viewed by State, Strands in Rope, The Atlanta Georgian Atlanta Georgian August 8th, 1913 By O. B. KEELER. They call it a chain that the State has forged, or has tried to forge, to hold Leo Frank to the murder of Mary Phagan. But isn't it a rope? A chain, you know, is as strong as its weakest link. Take one link out, and the chain comes apart. With a rope, it's different. Strand after strand might be cut or broken, and the rope still holds a certain weight. Then might come a time when the cutting of one more strand would cause the rope to break. The point is, the finished rope will sustain a weight that would instantly snap any one of its several strands. Bits of Evidence Threads. And that is what the various bits of circumstantial evidence might better be called—strands or threads. Edgar Allen Poe, in "The Mystery of Marie Roget," has nearly exhausted the philosophical phase of accumulative circumstance and its relation to …More
