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
White Crime Matters MASSACHUSETTS MOM ACCUSED OF KILLING HER TWO CHILDREN WANTS CASE DISMISSED — ATTORNEY CITES “PROFOUND MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS” Janette MacAusland, 49, is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Ella, 6, and Kai, 7. Her attorney is asking prosecutors to take a “different approach” when dealing with women suffering from profound mental-health problems. MacAusland has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney has not yet committed to an insanity defense. And that’s where the conversation gets interesting. Mental illness is real — but mental illness and legal insanity are NOT automatically the same thing. If mental illness becomes a reason to prosecute someone differently for murder, should that same consideration apply equally to men and women? Follow for more crime & accountability updates.
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.

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.

A historic former monastery in Germany is being converted into rental apartments. The Diocese of Osnabrück has sold the Kommende Lage in Rieste, Lower Saxony, because it could no longer afford the renovations needed for the centuries-old building. Kommende Lage is a former monastery complex dating to the 13th century. The buyer, who runs a tree nursery in nearby Bersenbrück, takes ownership January 15 and plans to renovate it for housing. The purchase price was not disclosed. The site’s nearly 800-year-old Catholic pilgrimage tradition will continue: the pilgrimage church and rectory were not sold, and a priest will remain to oversee the pilgrimage.

Emma Bonino has died at 78. For decades, she was one of Italy’s most prominent Radical politicians. She was a leading campaigner for abortion, euthanasia, drug legalization, and more secular causes. Although she was not a medical professional, Bonino, according to her own testimony, performed over 10,000 illegal abortions. She is one of the most sinister figures in the history of Italy. Bonino nevertheless praised Francis, who maintained a warm personal relationship with her and personally visited her in 2024, bringing her flowers and chocolates.

The secret of “70 times 7”… Liturgy for September 13th – 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus’s invitation to always forgive one another—just as His Father forgives—can help us understand how precious we are in the eyes of that Father who loved the world so much that He sent His only begotten Son to save us from eternal damnation and grant us eternal life. Jesus knows that the evil, frailties, and miseries of this life contribute to creating a sort of “invisible prison” around us—one that isolates us and prevents us from communicating with God, living in friendship with others, caring for creation, and knowing our true identity. In this wretched state, having fallen prey to despair, it seems to us that there is no way out. Nevertheless, Jesus knows that if, through the purity of His Love, He succeeds in overcoming the hardness of our pride and penetrate the prison of our hearts, then the desires for life, love, and happiness that God has hidden in the depths of …More
There was once a woman in a small town who loved gossip. Whenever she heard something interesting about a neighbor, she could hardly wait to tell someone else. One day, a rumor reached her about a man who lived nearby. She repeated it to a friend. The friend told someone else. Within a few days, almost everyone in town had heard the story. There was only one problem. It wasn’t true. When the man learned what people were saying about him, he was deeply hurt. His reputation had been damaged by something that had never happened. The woman who started spreading the rumor eventually learned the truth. For the first time, she felt ashamed of what she had done. Wanting to make things right, she went to an elderly woman in town who was known for her wisdom. “I made a terrible mistake,” she admitted. “I repeated something about my neighbor that wasn’t true, and now everyone knows it. How can I undo the damage?” The older woman listened carefully. Then she said, “Go to the market and buy a chicken …More
