"Clear abuse of office" - Cardinal Müller criticises German bishops for their anti-AfD stance. After the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller accused German bishops of interfering in party politics in an interview with Kontrafunk.radio on 11 September. When asked about the [Berlin Archbishop Heiner Koch's] idea that the Church could do without Catholics who vote the 'wrong' way, Müller responded: "In my view, this is quite simply a clear abuse of office." The Church, he added, is "not a trade union". "When it comes to party-political preferences, bishops have no right to call into question the civil rights of Catholics." Müller also dismissed comparisons between the AfD and National Socialism as "far-fetched". Nazism was an ideology that was incompatible with Christianity. By contrast, the AfD has "a political programme that every individual citizen can judge for themselves". His message to Germany’s bishops: "Bishops …More
Jean-Marie Vianney ~ ‘SERMONS OF THE CURE OF ARS – EXCERPTS’ ~ ‘FOLLOW ONE MASTER ONLY, etc., …’ ~ pages 14-15 [Saint John Vianney, XVIII-XIX Century, (aged 73), born: Dardilly, Lyonnais, Kingdom of France/died: Ars-sur-Formans, Ain, French Empire, Cure d’Ars, French Priest, patron saint of parish priests] FOLLOW ONE MASTER ONLY What a sad life does he lead who wants both to please the world and to serve God! It is a great mistake to make, my friends. Apart from the fact that you are going to be unhappy all the time, you can never attain the stage at which you will be able to please the world and please God. It is as impossible a feat as trying to put an end to eternity. Take the advice that I am going to give you now and you will be less unhappy: give yourselves wholly to God or else wholly to the world. Do not look for and do not serve more than one master, and once you have chosen the one you are going to follow, do not leave him. You surely remember what Jesus Christ said to you in …More

Dorado draws his own conclusion: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” He explained his ecclesiology with the explicit analogy to John the Baptist's words in John 3:30, "He must increase, but I must decrease."
Leo XIV appoints Archbishop: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Father Mario León Dorado, 52 — a T-shirt guy and an adherent of the heretical Abu Dhabi program — as Coadjutor Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco. Born in Madrid, Dorado joined the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1996 and was ordained a priest in 2001. He has served as Apostolic Prefect of Western Sahara since 2013. “The Church is called to disappear” In September 2022, he wrote a reflection on his almost two decades of missionary work in an extraordinarily small Catholic community. His experience is that authentic love makes it possible to welcome the other without the 'need to change him'.

Pepe Escobar Yemen Rocks the Gate of Tears Ansarallah now has the luxury of installing a toll gate, arguably multi-layered, in the Bab al-Mandab, if they want it. No less than 25 years after 9/11, the Angel of History once again delivers a powerful kick. Five years ago, we had the astonishing imperial humiliation in Afghanistan, accomplished in a matter of days. Now, we have the astonishing humiliation of Epstein Syndicate vassal Saudi Arabia in Yemen, also accomplished in a matter of days. Serial humiliations now follow the Empire’s path like a plague – and we’re not even talking about the impending, stratospheric, twin strategic defeats in West Asia and the black soil of Novorossiya. Emperors’ heads used to roll in Ancient “Divide and Rule” Rome for much less. The overall collapse of the Saudi mercenary gangs in Yemen is so swift that even Epstein Syndicate mainstream media has been forced to acknowledge it. The Ansarallah Rolling Thunder is seizing cities; islands; capturing thousands …More

Love God More, Fear Nothing Else The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of fearing God, not in a servile sense, but with filial fear, which is rooted in love. This fear of offending God, born out of love, leads to confidence and peace, even in the face of death. By focusing on loving God and living a life for Him, we can overcome fear and find true freedom. Fr.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 6,43-49. Jesus said to his disciples : "A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles. A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks. Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' but not do what I command? I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them. That one is like a person building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because it had been well built. But the one who listens and does not act is like a person who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, it collapsed at …More
