Leader:"A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning— Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." Matthew 2:18 Response: Lord, have mercy on the children who were never held. For the infants of Bethlehem, slain by Herod’s fear:We remember their cries, silenced by power.R: Rachel, mother of sorrow, intercede for them. For the unborn lost to abortion, known only to God:We mourn their absence and the silence that surrounds them.R: Rachel, mother of lament, weep with us. For mothers who grieve in secret, burdened by shame or regret:We ask for healing, mercy, and the embrace of divine compassion.
Leo XIV to the FSSPX: "Do Not Do This": On Tuesday evening in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He replied: "We have invited them, and I am still considering making another appeal, saying: 'Do not do this. Let us try to live in communion within the Church.' But it is their choice. One must realize what it means for them and for the Church. Certainly, division among Christians is always something painful. However, they refuse to accept certain fundamental elements of the Church, beginning with several points of the Second Vatican Council. If they make that choice, I am sorry, but we must move forward."
Il Pontefice annuncia pure che verrà esteso un altro appello ai lefebvriani: “La divisione nella Chiesa è sempre un dolore”
So….when apostate and heretical Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and Religious “refuse to accept certain fundamental elements of the Church” regarding sodomy, adultery, etc. they’re acceptable; but when the FSSPX simply want to remain faithful to the truth, they are to be excommunicated? Have you no sense of justice, Your Holiness?
– Folha de S. Paulo, February 23, 1981 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I am taking a deep interest in the Polish question and I think the reader should too. It is quite true that for many religious, historical, ethnic, and geographical reasons Poland of itself merits special respect and affection from all Catholics. Consequently, current events there should attract everyone’s attention. But at the present we are led to that conclusion by reasons of an even greater import. For the world, the events in Poland are constituted as a sign of the future. If the unique relationship, which a newspaper has called “the Polish triangle,” between the Warsaw government, the episcopate, and the coalition of workers’ organizations labeled “Solidarity” is successful, then something in communism has changed. Or something has changed in the Church, and therefore, in the world. Something, indeed, that until a while ago was steadfastly deemed immutable. How can I affirm this? Perhaps a metaphor would be …More

Baby Knox was born at just 25 weeks. His tiny body and fragile lungs needed time, support, and care to keep growing stronger. But his value was never fragile or questioned. From the moment of his existence, he was made in the image of God worthy of love and protection.
Protestant Prayer and the Catholic Mass as “Different Pathways to God”: “Catholic” U.S. Vice President JD Vance appeared to relativize the Catholic Church and the Eucharist during a June 16 interview on Fox & Friends. Speaking about what he called the strength of “the American church,” Vance emphasized the diversity of [contradicting] Christian denominations: “You can't be an American Catholic or an American Pentecostal or an American Southern Baptist without running into someone who has a slightly different perspective on faith.” He added: “It's all about Jesus.” Vance sees "different ways" by which people find God: “Different ways, sometimes with 'snake handlers' [evangelicals in Kentucky], sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass, but I think all these pathways really matter and they're part of the reason why we do find our path to God.”
JD Vance: "One of the things I love about the American church is there are all of these different pathways to God ... sometimes with snake handlers, sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass. But I think all of these pathways really matter."
The Ukrainian people were showing and telling Russia where the conscription offices were located. So Russia can destroy them. I posted about that awhile ago. And RT has mentioned it again in a post I just put up. Some people have died and have been seriously injured by those thugs. It won't come to an end till the last Ukrainian is dead. As long as they kill a lot of Russians. Their only goal! The reported Russian attacks on Ukrainian conscription centers came hours after a large protest in Kiev, said to have been sparked by forced mobilization. The rare mass demonstration was broken up by riot police, who used tear gas to disperse the crowd, according to local media.

Archbishop Franco Moscone of Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo has come under criticism after signing a petition calling on the Il Libro Possibile festival to reconsider hosting Israeli novelist Eshkol Nevo. According to AgenSir on June 15, Monsignor Moscone argued that intellectuals have a duty to speak clearly in the face of injustice. He added that Nevo had failed to provide sufficient "criticism and clarity" regarding the actions of the Israeli government. He insisted that "the issue is not that Nevo is Israeli." Festival organizers rejected the petition and confirmed that Nevo will participate as scheduled, noting that the writer has repeatedly spoken in favor of peace. The initiative triggered sharp reactions within the Italian Church. Archbishop Giuseppe Baturi, secretary-general of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), said that "peace is not built by preventing those who think differently from speaking." Archbishop Carmelo Pennisi of Monreale described the campaign as …More
With Vatican II's document NOSTRA AETATE, non-Christian religions were basically proclaimed to be equal to Catholicism. A huge can of poisonous worms was thus released.
HOW LONG DO SOULS REMAIN IN PURGATORY? The length of time souls are detained in Purgatory depends on: a) the number of their faults; b) the malice and deliberation with which these have been committed; c) the penance done, or not done, the satisfaction made, or not made for sins during life; d) Much, too, depends on the suffrages offered for them after death What can safely be said is that the time souls spend in Purgatory is, as a rule, very much longer than people commonly imagine. We will quote a few of the many instances which are recounted in the lives and revelations of the Saints. St. Louis Bertrand's father was an exemplary Christian, as we should naturally expect, being the father of so great a Saint. He had even wished to become a Carthusian monk until he learned that it was not God's will for him. When he died, after long years spent in the practice of every Christian virtue, his saintly son, fully aware of the rigors of God's Justice, offered many Masses and poured forth the …More
