Something "doesn’t add up" with Leo XIV’s planned surgery for a 3 mm pulmonary nodule. Today, Leo XIV, 71, personally announced that he will undergo surgery for a small pulmonary nodule detected during recent medical examinations. The Vatican press office – notorious for downplaying the health problems of popes – confirmed that the procedure has been scheduled and that hospitalization is expected to last approximately seven days. According to Corriere.it, hospitalization is expected to begin next Wednesday. Infobae.com reports that sources at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital indicated that the lesion measures three millimeters. Dr. Ana María Putruele, a pulmonologist, former head of the Pulmonology Division at the José de San Martín Clinical Hospital (UBA), and adjunct consulting professor of pulmonology at UBA, expressed surprise at the reported size: “Three millimeters is actually very small to be able to remove surgically.” Given the lesion’s reported size, the specialist suggested that the …More

Our Lady of the Pillar - October 12 ofrendadeflores.com Our Lady of the Pillar (Spanish: Nuestra Señora del Pilar) is the name given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the context of the tradition that Mary, while living in Jerusalem, supernaturally appeared to the Apostle James the Greater in AD 40 while he was preaching in what is now Spain.

Among Catholics, it is also considered the first Marian apparition, being unique due to having occurred while Mary was still living on Earth. This title is also associated with a wooden image commemorating the apparition, which is now enshrined at the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain.

As Auxiliary Bishop, Menezes defended the "LGBTQ+ Vigil Welcome Mass": "In my conversations with some members of the group, they find attending Mass in a parish difficult against the backdrop of what they sometimes see to be a Church that does not accept them.

Public executions, even of innocents, has been televised by the west since the gulf wars. Charlie Kirk was also publicly executed. By the same administration.
Archbishop presents sexual morality as an “ideal” instead of “rules to follow” at current Vatican meeting. At Leo XIV’s meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe of Perth, Australia called for “a shift in the Church’s culture” in his October 9 address. Discussing contemporary attitudes toward sexuality, he stated that “the concept of a necessary link between sexual activity and procreation, […] is no longer widely understood or accepted.” Archbishop Costelloe advocated presenting the Church’s theology of marital intimacy as “an ideal worth striving for rather than as a list of rules and regulations to be followed.” He repeated his point: “Presenting ideals to work towards rather than rules to follow is more likely to win people over and enable them to see the values which underpin those rules and regulations.” Monsignor Costelloe stated that young couples living together before marriage are “falling short of the ideal of Chistian marriage,”…More
Well, this doesn't seem right. Who actually believes Zelensky will hold an election? If you do, you haven't been paying attention to what has been said and done in the US or West.
They have been pushing Putin for a temporary ceasefire instead of a peace treaty for too long now. All of a sudden Zelensky is willing to have an election held? I don't believe any of these fairy tales. Or horror tales. They are up to something no good. You can count on it. Trump said, he was going to nuke RUSSIA AND IRAN. Now he is off begging Putin for help? Zelensky is now ok with holding an election? I don't buy any of it. Putin is being set up. He better watch his back. His security is first rate. They are very good at what they do. And they keep their eyes scanning everyone at all times and still keep their eyes off their beloved President.
"IF"! And I do mean IF there is an election. I see one of two things that will happen. The elections will be rigged. Or they will replace him with someone worse than Zelensky. There is only those two choices. We know how the US and West work. They never do anything by the law. Nor have good intentions for us, only for themselves.
US Bishop prohibits celebration facing the Lord (ad orientem). On October 2, Bishop Jeffrey Walsh, 60, of Gaylord, Michigan, issued a decree restricting the celebration of the Mass towards the Lord. It takes effect on October 15. Under the new rules, all Sunday and holy day Masses must be read - like a talk or show - facing the people. On weekdays, no more than two Masses per parish may be celebrated ad orientem, and only after consultation with the parish council and appropriate catechesis. Weddings, funerals, and other Masses with congregations must also be celebrated facing the people. Masses according to the 1962 Missal are exempt. The bishop invokes paragraph 299 of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), claiming it favors celebration versus populum. However, the text of GIRM 299 does NOT require Mass to be celebrated facing the people. It recommends a freestanding altar that can be walked around to incense it with a thurible and permits celebration versus populum. It …More
Notice this is being said by a Bishop who appears to be preparing to offer Mass in a gymnasium. You can see the cruets, chalice, paten, etc. on a little table behind him. Of course he cares nothing for a Mass offered to God (i.e. ad orientem) with due sacrality and wants to suppress it since it is a reproach to his own humanistic viewpoint.
The Great Vocational Inversion: How Modernity Turned the Gospel into a Safety Net The modern Church is suffering from collective amnesia, and nowhere is this more evident than in our soft, therapeutic approach to "discerning a vocation." Ask any contemporary vocation director, and you will hear a familiar, comforting script: Marriage is the baseline default for human life. Virginity or religious life is a specialized, elite calling for a heroic few. It sounds prudent. It sounds balanced. It is also a complete inversion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If we dare to pull back the layers of mid-century sentimentality and look at the raw text of the Scriptures and the unanimous witness of the Saints, a jarring reality emerges: The radical renunciation of religious life is the baseline call for all true disciples. Marriage is not the default prize—it is the merciful safety net thrown out to catch those too weak to scale the mountain. The New Testament does not mince words about the cost of …More
"19. And if any brother out of a feeling of pride or arrogance wishes to have as his due a better and finer habit, let him be given the worst. And those who receive new robes must immediately return the old ones, to be given to the squires and sergeants and often to the poor, according to what seems good to the one who holds that office."
‘The Templar Rule Of Order’; ‘The Primitive Rule’; ‘On the Brothers' Dress’; pages 4; points 15-19 The original Latin Rule of Order was penned with the assistance of the young Cistercian Abbott, Bernard of Clairvaux. The rule is very similar to the modified Benedictine rule used by the Cistercian order. This makes perfect sense as the two orders were closely related and linked. The Primitive Rule of the Templars On Brothers who Stand Too Long in Chapel 15. It has been made known to us and we heard it from true witnesses that immoderately and without restraint you hear the divine service whilst standing. We do not ordain that you behave in this manner, on the contrary we disapprove of it. But we command that the strong as well as the weak, to avoid a fuss, should sing the psalm which is called Venite, with the invitatory and the hymn sitting down, and say their prayers in silence, softly and not loudly, so that the proclaimer does not disturb the prayers of the other brothers. 16. But at …More

I fear to think of what their judgment will be when they stand before God to give an account of their Priesthood and the Sacred Ministries with which they were entrusted.....
“Today all that is being repeated. After the resignation of Pope Benedict, which was forced—forced by men in the Vatican—they began to rebuild the episcopate throughout the world. The new bishops, all liberals. And who was the last head of the Congregation for Bishops? Robert Prevost, from Chicago, Cardinal Prevost, who became Pope Leo. There is a very great conflict, a war being waged inside the Church, which could have happened with Paul VI and with John Paul II, but which is happening today, with a majority mentality of liberal bishops who are changing the Church from within.”
