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
Prime the Vatican photocopier for more 'excommunications'. This mess is on the Vatican leadership when they cannot distinguish between a genuine (Spirit-driven?) cry for help from religious in China and elsewhere and attention-seeking exhibitionists and heretics (James Martin, et al anyone?!) who appear to have 'Get out of Orthodoxy free' cards.
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
Wars and rumors of wars... And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: 5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many. 6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: 8 Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 THEN SHALL THEY DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, AND SHALL PUT YOU TO DEATH: and you shall be HATED by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. 12 And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. 13 But he that shall PERSEVERE to the end, he shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached …More
" They were but lightly fastened to the stakes, so that when finding themselves unbound they could easily escape and declare themselves apostates, or they might at least serve to amuse the people by remaining voluntarily in the fire. The first one burnt was Brother Louis, who seeing himself loosened from his cords, passed through the flames, cast himself at the feet of the priests, to kiss their hands, and then returned to his stake, where he expired a few moments afterwards."

Has World War III Already Started? nytimes.com/…/25/opinion/has-world-war-iii-alread… Aug. 25, 2026, 4:00 p.m. ET By Bret Stephens Opinion Columnist Shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, I wrote a column under the headline “This Is How World War III Begins.” More than four years on, I wonder how much I got right. My argument was based on the origins of World War II, which did not simply start with Germany’s invasion of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939. Instead, the war was an accumulation of regional wars and crises, beginning with Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in 1931, which gradually gathered into a single global conflict. That gathering, abetted by the converging ambitions of the totalitarian states and the divisions and vacillations of the democracies, led to catastrophe. Added to this was a revolution in military technology and tactics that gave the dictatorships an early advantage in offensive combat. Also an advantage: their willingness to inflict — and endure —…More

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.

"Where Are You Going, USA?": Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s Prophetic Warning & Blueprint "If souls are saved, everything is saved. Unless souls are saved, nothing is saved." Fulton Sheen expert Dr. Peter Howard joins CatholicTV to share the prophetic blueprint Archbishop Fulton Sheen left for renewing the faith in the USA. Why is Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen more relevant today than ever before? Dr. Peter Howard steps into the living room on This Is the Day to discuss Sheen’s road to beatification and preview the national conference, "America’s Saint: The Catholic Hour is Now" in St. Louis, MO. Dr. Howard explains why Sheen was far more than a 1950s television celebrity reaching 30 million viewers weekly with Life is Worth Living—he was a holy soul whose power to convert hearts came directly from his unbroken promise to make a daily Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament every day of his priesthood. As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, Dr. Howard reflects on Sheen's final prophetic …More
