There is a question that has been weighing heavily on my heart, and it is a difficult question to ask: “Are we becoming a Church without God?” Of course, I do not mean that God has abandoned His Church. Jesus Christ promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against her. Nor do I mean that there are not countless faithful Catholics, holy priests, religious, bishops, fathers and mothers who love God deeply and are striving every day to live the Catholic faith. I mean something different. I am asking whether we have gradually constructed a way of thinking about the Church – a way of governing her, speaking about her, worshipping within her, and determining her priorities – that increasingly functions as though the supernatural were no longer the central reality. Because Catholicism is supernatural or it is nothing. Think about the Catholic faith our ancestors knew. They believed in heaven. They believed in hell. They believed in angels and demons. They believed that Satan was real …More
Bishop Gerard de Korte of’s-Hertogenbosch has responded critically to the open letter against the failed synodal project by his auxiliary bishop Rob Mutsaerts. Monsignor Mutsaerts did not consult him about this lengthy open letter, Bishop De Korte told Nd.nl on August 14. For him “a personal letter to the pope would have been the proper course of action, if Mutsaerts truly does not wish to sow division, as he writes”. Bishop de Korte added: “After all, a bishop or auxiliary bishop has his own means of communicating with the Bishop of Rome”. And: “In any case, at the request of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV, the Dutch bishops will continue building a synodal Church. On Friday, October 16, the bishops and Dutch religious orders will organize a national day of inspiration on synodality, at the St. John’s Centre in ’s-Hertogenbosch.” In 2020, because of differences with the liberal Bishop de Korte, Monsignor Mutsaerts stepped down from virtually all of his administrative duties in the …More
Bishop Mutsaerts says the obvious. All the other bishops in the Netherlands (and the Conference of Religious) share in the Church’s mysterious blindness. Thank God for Bishop Mutsaerts!
Book of Revelation 11,19a.12,1-6a.10ab. God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm. A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God. Then I heard a …More
Buch der Offenbarung 11,19a.12,1-6a.10ab. Der Tempel Gottes im Himmel wurde geöffnet und in seinem Tempel wurde die Lade seines Bundes sichtbar: Dann erschien ein großes Zeichen am Himmel: eine Frau, mit der Sonne bekleidet; der Mond war unter ihren Füßen und ein Kranz von zwölf Sternen auf ihrem Haupt. Sie war schwanger und schrie vor Schmerz in ihren Geburtswehen. Ein anderes Zeichen erschien am Himmel und siehe, ein Drache, groß und feuerrot, mit sieben Köpfen und zehn Hörnern und mit sieben Diademen auf seinen Köpfen. Sein Schwanz fegte ein Drittel der Sterne vom Himmel und warf sie auf die Erde herab. Der Drache stand vor der Frau, die gebären sollte; er wollte ihr Kind verschlingen, sobald es geboren war. Und sie gebar ein Kind, einen Sohn, der alle Völker mit eisernem Zepter weiden wird. Und ihr Kind wurde zu Gott und zu seinem Thron entrückt. Die Frau aber floh in die Wüste, wo Gott ihr einen Zufluchtsort geschaffen hatte. Da hörte ich eine laute Stimme im Himmel rufen: Jetzt …More

Ein englischer Bischof, dem die Vergewaltigung einer Minderjährigen vorgeworfen wird, erschien am Donnerstag vor Gericht. Bis zu seiner Anhörung im kommenden Monat darf er keinen Kontakt zu dem mutmaßlichen Opfer aufnehmen. Bischof David Oakley, 70, nahm per Video an der Anhörung vor dem Westminster Magistrates’ Court teil und wurde gegen Kaution freigelassen. Ihm werden zwei Vergewaltigungen eines damals unter 16-jährigen Mädchens zwischen 2000 und 2001 vorgeworfen, als er noch Priester war. Oakley war bereits Monate vor der Anklage untersucht und im September 2025 festgenommen worden. Einen Monat später nahm er aus offiziell „persönlichen Gründen“ eine Auszeit.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1,39-56. Mary set out in those days and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked with favor on his lowly servant; from this day all generations will call me blessed. The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. He has mercy on those who fear him …More

Nie okazujcie litości, nie oszczędzajcie nikogo – zabijajcie starych, młodych, dziewice, dzieci i kobiety – aż nie pozostanie ani jeden. Ale nie dotykajcie nikogo, kto ma KRZYŻ na czole”. 3) Objawienie 7:2–3; Potem ujrzałem innego anioła, który przybywał ze wschodu, a miał Pieczęć Boga Żywego; i zawołał donośnym głosem do czterech aniołów, którym dano władzę, by wyrządzali krzywdę ziemi i morzu: „Nie wyrządzajcie krzywdy ziemi, morzu ani drzewom, dopóki nie opieczętujemy czoła sług naszego Boga”. 4) Objawienie 9:1-4; Piąty anioł zadął w trąbę, a ja ujrzałem gwiazdę, która spadła z nieba na ziemię. …More
“Globalism has already failed to meet the needs of the people. It serves only the financial elite,” Marian Eleganti, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Chur, told LaNuovaBq on August 13. On Muslim immigration, he said: “Personally, I am convinced that Islam cannot be integrated into our political systems shaped by Christianity. There is no apolitical Islam, consisting purely of an interior religious life. It is a system of domination. The more convinced its followers are of this, the less integrable it is. The result is parallel societies.” He also criticized the Church’s approach to unlimited immigration: “The Catholic Church should not adopt an idealistic approach… [that] ignores the very real social problems associated with unlimited immigration.”
Bishop Vicente de Paula Ferreira, 55, of Livramento de Nossa Senhora in Bahia, Brazil, criticized the consecration of dioceses to St. Michael the Archangel. In an August 8 social-media post, Bishop Ferreira wrote: “Are there theological justifications for consecration to St. Michael? One consecrates oneself to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Isn’t the devil that is being fought rather imaginary? The greater exorcism should be of homophobia, femicide, racism, crimes against Indigenous peoples — of this legion of evils.” Ferreira’s comments came as dioceses across Brazil have been participating in “The Great Reconquest,” an initiative promoted by the Hesed Institute centered on devotion and consecration to St. Michael. According to ACI Digital, 34 Brazilian dioceses had been consecrated to St. Michael by August 11. #newsJjefxvmkpq
When a 'bishop' humiliates the Archangel Defender of God's Honor and is a supporter of the sin of Sodom, it means he is on the side of the fallen angels.
First Letter to the Corinthians 15,20-27. Brothers and sisters: Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being. For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life, but each one in proper order: Christ the firstfruits; then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ; then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death, for "he subjected everything under his feet." shareyourcatholicfaith
Erster Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Korinther 15,20-27a. Christus ist von den Toten auferweckt worden als der Erste der Entschlafenen. Da nämlich durch einen Menschen der Tod gekommen ist, kommt durch einen Menschen auch die Auferstehung der Toten. Denn wie in Adam alle sterben, so werden in Christus alle lebendig gemacht werden. Es gibt aber eine bestimmte Reihenfolge: Erster ist Christus; dann folgen, wenn Christus kommt, alle, die zu ihm gehören. Danach kommt das Ende, wenn er jede Macht, Gewalt und Kraft entmachtet hat und seine Herrschaft Gott, dem Vater, übergibt. Denn er muss herrschen, bis Gott ihm alle Feinde unter seine Füße gelegt hat. Der letzte Feind, der entmachtet wird, ist der Tod. Denn: Alles hat er seinen Füßen unterworfen.

Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of 's-Hertogenbosch wrote on August 13 an open letter to Leo XIV. Main phrases. - Does the synodal process actually help bring souls closer to Christ and to eternal salvation? […] What has all this actually yielded? Not: how many meetings were organized? Not: how many reports were written? Not: how many people participated? But: has faith become stronger? Has Christ been proclaimed more clearly? - When one asks such questions, it is impossible to consider the Synod a success. - What once began as a 2021–2024 synod threatens to become a permanent form of governance. - The classical synod was a means. In contemporary synodal discourse, synodality threatens to become an end in itself. - The Church is not a conversation but a received reality. For the Church does not begin with our dialogue. It begins with Christ. - Christ did not set up a discussion group. He called apostles. He gave them authority. He sent them out to proclaim, baptize, and teach. - Truth is …More
He gets off a plane to save his life and keeps everyone else on the plane not letting them know he got off to protect himself......... ONLY! The situation in the East is not good at all. I will say no more about it. No one seems to listen or care. Not even all the warnings GOD has shown us. I will leave this video for those that do want to know.

There’s an old image of a fox covered in fleas. When the irritation becomes unbearable, the fox slowly walks toward a river. It doesn’t panic, run, or thrash around. It simply steps into the water, inch by inch. As the water rises, the fleas begin moving upward. They leave the tail, then the back, then the ears, until eventually they are all crowded onto the last part still above the surface—the fox’s nose. And then, quietly, the fox goes completely under. No struggle. No drama. It simply comes out cleaner. Life can feel that way with people, too. When things are going well, there is often no shortage of company. Friends call. Coworkers laugh at your jokes. Acquaintances want to be around you. People say, “I’m always here if you need anything.” Then something happens. You lose a job. A relationship falls apart. Money gets tight. You get sick. You go through grief, disappointment, or a season when you simply have nothing left to give. And suddenly, people begin to disappear. One by one,…More
Israel Evicted Settlers Besieging Palestinian Homes. Hours Later, They Were Back. The military’s failure to keep extremists away from two Palestinian families trapped in their West Bank homes made clear the chaos gripping the Israeli-occupied territory. nytimes.com/…d/middleeast/west-bank-siege-israeli… By Natan Odenheimer and Fatima AbdulKarim Natan Odenheimer reported from Jerusalem and Fatima AbdulKarim from Bir Zeit, in the West Bank.
