Why Gen Z is Returning to an 800-Year-Old Prayer: Fr. Joseph Anthony Kress on the Rosary Revival "In a digital world full of fleeting, disappearing moments, people are hungry for something deeply rooted." Fr. Joseph Anthony Kress, OP joins CatholicTV to share the vision behind the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage. Why are thousands of Catholics—especially young adults and newcomers to the faith—flocking back to the ancient devotion of the Holy Rosary? Father Joseph Anthony Kress, OP (co-host of the Godsplaining podcast) steps into the studio on This Is the Day to preview the upcoming Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage in Washington, D.C. Father Joseph Anthony breaks down the schedule for this full 12-hour day of prayer, preaching, adoration, Mass, and confession held at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Leo XIV: "Faith Is Not Given Once and for All" At today’s Angelus, Leo XIV appeared to blur the distinction between the objective content of the Faith and its subjective appropriation: “Faith is not something given to us once and for all. Rather, we continually need to rediscover the face of Christ.” He then urged the faithful not to retreat into religious certainties, adding: “When it comes to the Christian faith, we may be content with […] what has been handed down to us.” Instead, Leo advocated “friendship with Jesus” through an “ever-new encounter”: “This may also ask us to follow unfamiliar paths and to make choices different from those we had imagined. This is true both for our personal journey and for the journey of the Church, as well as for our pastoral choices, when we may sometimes think that it is enough simply to continue doing things as we have always done them.”
Two short video quotes from today's Angelus: Leo XIV offers unusual definitions of faith, suggesting that focusing on what has been handed down to us is insufficient.

The Safety Valve of the Holy Spirit: How Vatican II’s "Pastoral" Shield Preserved the Faith For sixty years, the Catholic faithful have been told to bow before a new deity: the elusive, shape-shifting "Spirit of Vatican II." We have been assured that the twenty-first ecumenical council was a rupture, a foundational reboot that dragged a reluctant, medieval Church into the glorious light of modern progressivism. From ecumenical syncretism to the near-total dismantling of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the progressive wing of the Church has weaponized the Council's documents to construct a brand-new religion on the ashes of the old. But their revolution possesses a fatal, architectural flaw. In their haste to remake the Church in the image of the secular world, the architects of this modern experiment forgot a fundamental rule of Catholic theology. By explicitly, repeatedly, and formally defining the Second Vatican Council as a strictly pastoral council, the Popes of the mid-twentieth …More
The ART of deceit to mislead the Faithful. Many consecrated will break the Vows they made with God and embrace what is abominable. 1) Genesis 3: 1-4,6; The serpent was the most cunning of all the animals of the field that Yahweh God had made. And he said to the woman, “How is it that God has said to you, ‘You shall not eat from any of the trees of the garden’?” The woman replied to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden. But as for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it, or you will DIE.’” The serpent said to the woman, “YOU WILL NOT DIE”. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eye, and desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, and he ate it. 2) Proverbs 6:16-17: "A lying tongue" and "a false witness who lies with every breath" among the seven things God detests. 3) John 8:44; You belong to your father,…More
1) Księga Rodzaju 3: 1-4,6; Wąż był najprzebieglejszym ze wszystkich zwierząt polnych, które stworzył Bóg Jahwe. I rzekł do kobiety: „Jak to, że Bóg wam powiedział: «Nie wolno wam jeść z żadnego drzewa w ogrodzie»?”. Kobieta odpowiedziała wężowi: „Możemy jeść owoce drzew w ogrodzie. Ale co do owocu drzewa, które znajduje się pośrodku ogrodu, Bóg powiedział: «Nie wolno wam go jeść ani nawet dotykać, bo umrzecie»”. Wąż rzekł do kobiety: „NIE UMRZECIE”. Gdy kobieta zobaczyła, że drzewo to jest dobre do jedzenia, miłe dla oczu i pożądane, by zdobyć mądrość, zerwała z niego owoc i zjadła; dała też mężowi, a on zjadł. 2) Księga Przysłów 6:16-17: „Kłamliwy język” i „fałszywy świadek, który kłamie z każdym oddechem” należą do siedmiu rzeczy, których Bóg nienawidzi. 3) Ewangelia według św. Jana 8:44: „Wy należycie do waszego ojca, diabła, i chcecie spełniać pragnienia waszego ojca. On był mordercą od samego początku i nie trwał w prawdzie, ponieważ nie ma w nim prawdy; kiedy mówi kłamstwo, mówi …More
As he visits the Italian city of Rimini, Pope Leo XIV spends a moment with Louis “Blue Lou” Marini, an American saxophonist and composer, best known as a member of The Blues Brothers band.

Does Leo XIV Embrace Borderless Globalism? “People always come before borders, before definitions and institutions,” said Leo XIV at the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples in Rimini, Italy, on Saturday. “This realization stands at the center of Christianity,” he continued with more platitudes, adding: “Evil is not fought with evil. It is time to oppose the false realism that rearms minds, words, and nations with the realism of mercy.”

Revelation 21:21 indicates, albeit metaphorically, that Heaven has 'pearly gates'. I suppose he is in favor of the gates of Hell prevailing against those, as well.
Prevost, UN henchman (accomplice): The mass migration, which is really a crime against our European peoples and ultimately spells the death of Catholic culture, is sugarcoated here by Prevost in an unbearable LEFTIST way.
The Vatican has confirmed to parents in the Archdiocese of Hamburg that the Vatican document “Male and Female He Created Them” remains the authoritative guide for sex education.
Okay who besides me think it is a sick joke, being played on the sports fans? Oh it's women's basketball, LOL! Try this with a NHL team and I bet you'll get your @&& handed to you!

This morning, Pope Leo XIV arrived in San Marino, where he was received by the Captains Regent, Alice Mina and Vladimiro Selva, as the Republic and the Holy See mark 100 years of diplomatic relations. At the Basilica of San Marino, he venerated the relics of St. Marinus, the country’s patron saint. He will then continue to Rimini for the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples, stopping along the way at the Augustinian nuns’ monastery in Pennabilli.

Seeking the approval of those who, objectively speaking, are heresiarchs cannot be the supreme or even secondary goal. Riaan Van Zyl August 20, 2026 One of the strange phenomena among mainstream traditionalists is that, while they publicly pay lip service to recognizing Leo as the pope, they actually adhere to a carefully crafted “magisterium” consisting of the pronouncements of fellow prelates and influencers. Three clergy form the backbone of this pseudo-magisterium: Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Cardinal Raymond Burke, and Cardinal Robert Sarah. What usually happens is that when any of these men offer an opinion on a podcast or written interview, or issue a new pastoral letter, Trad Inc. acts like they have just received a brand new encyclical letter. This past week, said influencers were likely in a state of ecstasy, as not only did Cardinal Burke speak with Michael Knowles, but shortly thereafter Bishop Schneider issued a public statement. As is the case with Burke and Sarah, Bishop …More
Religious Sisters Suppressed After Vatican Intervention for “Being Too Traditional”: Conservative Bishop Earl K. Fernandes of Columbus has suppressed the Children of Mary, a traditional community of religious sisters (canonically, a public association of the faithful) based in Newark, Ohio. In his August 10 letter, Fernandes cites fairly general problems with formation and communal life, as well as concerns about the proper separation of the internal and external forum. He says that Rome’s Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life informed him that the community would never be approved as an institute of diocesan right. But there’s another side: Anthony Stine, citing an anonymous source close to the community, claims that the underlying issue was that the sisters’ formation and catechesis were regarded as too traditional.

"Masons, heretics, apostates, sodomites, pro-abortionists, sexual abusers, prevaricators, atheists, fraudsters, misers, pagans, enemies of the Virgin and of Tradition... these are the members who make up the new church orchestrated by Prevost-Bergoglio, which they want to force us to accept as if it were the Church of Christ."
@Diodoro Nella generalità è vero, ma chi si è consacrato al Cuore immacolato di Maria S.S, specialmente a S.Martino di Schio, dove la Madonna vuole questa consacrazione sulle catechesi del Montfort, la riceve in bocca. Sto parlando della Messa del dopo Concilio. Io stesso quando è il mio turno faccio la genuflessione, incrocio le braccia sul petto e con estrema devozione, come fossi diventato un tabernacolo vivente rinchiuso, me ne vado al mio posto inginocchiato e inizio a ringraziare, lodare, onorare il Signore per tutte le grazie ricevute. Poi al termine della S.Messa per alcuni minuti continuo tale adorazione. Io vedo che nel tempo qualche giovane mi segue. Vedo però che le persone di una certa età, non consacratesi al Cuore di Maria, continuano a ricevere imperterrite la Santissima Eucaristia sulle zampe, non memori che una volta la ricevevano in bocca. Qui non vorrei giudicare, ma mi chiedo dove sta il nostro rispetto, il nostro Amore, la nostra riconoscenza verso un Dio, che ci …More
Monsignor Anthony Spinosa, 75, a Maronite Catholic priest, has been accused of engaging in a public homosexual act with registered sex offender Kenneth Kopp, 54, at Perkins Park in Warren, Ohio, according to Wfmj.com. Spinosa had served since 2002 as rector of the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in North Jackson. He was elevated to the rank of "Chorbishop" (prelate) in 2016. On Thursday, he was relieved of his ministerial assignment. The allegations stem from July 31, when a couple walking their dog told police they saw Kopp on his knees allegedly performing a homosex act on Spinosa, who was smoking a cigar. They further alleged that one of the men invited them to join in and offered to let them watch for payment. According to the police report, the incident occurred "in broad daylight," about 100 meters from a playground where children were present. Police subsequently found Kopp in a Honda Civic near a black rug and pink boots. A search of the vehicle uncovered wigs …More
