America's missile defense capabilities are critically depleted. Running out of interceptors for THAAD, PAC-3, and PAC-2 means we can't defend against North Korea or Russia, leaving strategic interests in the Pacific and Europe vulnerable.
Father Gabriel Calvo Zarraute condemns synodality: "Synodality is a neologism invented by Bergoglio to destroy the Catholic Church, to democratize and Protestantize it. Let's call things by their name, my dears, because I'm fed up with being taken for fools! The Church is One, Holy, Catholic, and Roman, not synodal. That's anti-Catholic. What can synodality possibly give us? Well, the Church was already full of foxes, and now it will be even more so. Jesus Christ founded a hierarchical, non-democratic Church. It's not that Catholicism isn't democratic, but rather that it's anti-democratic, because Jesus Christ was condemned to death democratically. All the Greek philosophers were anti-democratic. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and so on. Even Cicero (in ancient Rome) was. All the ancient sages, all the great Greco-Roman thinkers, were against what we now understand as modern liberal democracy. So enough of this nonsense, especially when Pope Francis has undoubtedly been the most tyrannical …More
St. Thomas Aquinas ~ Mortification prepares a place for it (the love of God) by banishing from the heart all earthly affections, which are the most powerful obstacles to charity
The Vatican's restrictions on the Latin Mass "isn't realistic" because young Catholics' growing attraction to the Church's liturgical tradition is "unstoppable", said Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco speaking with Raymond Arroyo on EWTN. “It's what's drawing young people in and will continue to do so." According to Monsignor Cordileone, the popularity of the Mass among younger generations makes Traditionis Custodes difficult to sustain: "To be honest, I don't think it's realistic". And: "We look at the younger generation. They all love the tradition." "They love the more classical way that the Church worships, the traditional Mass," he continued. Archbishop Cordileone challenged recent comments by Cardinal Arthur Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, who said Leo XIV would not reverse Traditionis Custodes. "I don't know how well he knows the mind of the Holy Father. But I think one thing that's clear to everyone is the Holy Father wants to bring everyone …More
– Folha de S. Paulo, January 10, 1984 - by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I do not understand how men of the Church today, including some of the most cultured, learned, and illustrious, mythicize the figure of Luther, the heresiarch, in their zeal to favor an ecumenical rapprochement directly with Protestantism and indirectly with all the religions, schools of philosophy, and so forth. Do they not perceive the danger that is lying in wait for all of us at the end of this road, that is, the formation on a world-wide scale of a sinister supermarket of religions, philosophies, and systems of all sorts, in which truth and error will be broken up in pieces, mixed together in a cacophonous confusion? The only thing missing from the world would be – if we could reach such a point – the whole truth, that is, the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Faith, with neither spot nor wrinkle. Today I present some facts about Luther that clearly point up the odor that his revolted figure would spread in that …More
Not only Churches in France are literally burning, or anywhere in the world, but it's also the fire of Divine Mercy and Justice in Jesus for all of us. Pray for God to burn our hearts with His Love and perhaps those who achieve His Great Mercy, with your prayers, one day will stop from trying to burn Him and His bride instead.
The Diocese of Providence in Rhode Island is holding a series of “Listening Sessions” for homosexuals and their friends at four parishes. According to the diocesan website, Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, 59, is presiding at each gathering, which includes the celebration of the Eucharist, small-group sharing, and a community dinner. The diocesan announcement opens with Pope Francis' notorious words, “Todos, Todos, Todos” (“Everyone, Everyone, Everyone”). LepantoIn.org asked the diocese whether confession would be available and whether participants would be invited to repentance and conversion in accordance with Catholic teaching. Instead of answering those questions, the diocesan communications director replied only: “As the diocesan bishop, Bishop Lewandowski has the pastoral responsibility to know and understand the spiritual needs of all the souls entrusted to his care.” Picture: LepantoIn.org, #newsVedmnhuvak
Israel’s Widest Demolition Wave in Months: Israeli forces carried out demolitions across several West Bank communities, affecting homes, businesses, and farms. Near Anza, south of Jenin, owners of three buildings with 18 shops and two apartments were given 40 minutes to evacuate before demolition. Israel says the demolitions target unpermitted construction, while humanitarian groups say Palestinians in Area C are rarely granted building permits. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz also announced more home demolitions, weapons confiscations, and work permit revocations. Palestinian officials say 341 demolition operations in the first half of 2026 destroyed about 740 structures and affected 923 Palestinians.
Israel’s Widest Demolition Wave in Months: Dozens of Palestinian Families Given 40 Minutes to Leave Their Homes
"38. Another person, of Valentia, in 1613, committed a great crime, which he was ashamed to confess, and therefore made sacrilegious confessions. But, being troubled with great remorse of conscience, he went one day to visit the altar of Our Lady of Halle, that he might obtain relief. When he arrived at the door of the church, which stood open, he felt himself thrust back by an invisible power. Then he determined to make his confession, and immediately entered. After making a general confession, he went home entirely consoled."
[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD: born: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/died: Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church] 35. In the year 1610, there lived in Turin an obstinate heretic, who even on his death-bed would not be converted by all that was said to him by the various priests who were with him for eight successive days. At length one of them, almost by force, brought him to have recourse to Mary, with these words: Mother of Jesus, help me: "Mater Jesu, assiste mihi." And the heretic, as if awakened from sleep, exclaimed, "I will die a Catholic;" and indeed he became reconciled to the Church, and died in two hours. 36. Another infidel, who was living in India, was about to die, abandoned by all, but as he had heard the Christians so much extol the power of Mary, he had recourse to her, and the blessed Virgin appeared to …More
Saint Thomas Aquinas comments on Romans 1 that Paul teaches that sodomites are idolaters. Saint Paul also points out that homosexual activists are sodomites themselves. The "pink lobby" is delighted. The apostate and Marxist homosexual activist José Armando Álvarez Cano, in his rebellion against God, supports the unrepentant who are trapped in the vice of homosexuality and have identified with the sin God abhors, rather than calling them to repentance.
4postata Spiteri: “It is important for the indigenous people of Mexico to discover the faith without taking away anything from their ancestral values.”
Spain’s illegal migrant surge into Ceuta shows how quickly a nation’s border can be overrun. The Church has always taught that a country has the right and duty to defend its territorial integrity for the common good. Fr. Dominic Prümmer, O.P., in his classic Manuale Theologiae Moralis (1923), states: “The right of a sovereign state to regulate the entry and settlement of foreigners is derived from its obligation to promote the common good of its people. It would be contrary to justice and prudence to allow unrestricted immigration when such would lead to disorder or harm to the established community.”
Environmental Propaganda in Paris Church. Worse than Germany: Since July 9, the nave of Saint-Eustache - one of Paris's largest historic churches - has housed Le Souffle, a 7-meter-tall laser-cut aluminum sculpture by contemporary artist Lydie Arickx. Suspended from the church's central vault, the work is presented as evoking deep-sea coral, the Tree of Life, and the human heart while promoting environmental awareness. The installation defaces the church through 29 September.
Depuis plusieurs semaines, l'église Saint-Eustache de Paris accueille dans sa nef Le Souffle, une sculpture monumentale de 7 mètres de haut réalisée en aluminium découpé au laser par l'artiste contemporaine Lydie Arickx. L'œuvre évoque le corail des profondeurs, l'Arbre de Vie et le cœur humain, tout en sensibilisant à la préservation des écosystèmes marins. (Source : Sortir à Paris)
Vatican Clergy Residence Becomes Four Star Hotel: Leo XIV has approved the conversion of the Domus Internationalis Paulus VI in Rome from a residence for clergy into a four-star hotel. This is confirmed for the first time in the 2025 APSA financial report. Retired cardinals, bishops, former nuncios, and other clergy living in the residence wrote to Leo XIV, asking that the project be halted. But the plan is moving forward and is now in its final stages. The building dates back to the 15th century and became famous in 2013 when, shortly after his election, Pope Francis returned to pay his hotel bill personally. The Vatican expects to receive approximately €5 million per year in rent from the property.
«Con il Santo Padre Francesco era stato deciso che non si poteva certamente fare un hotel a cinque stelle, per motivi di credibilità e d'immagine; alla fine sarà soltanto un quattro stelle». Un'affermazione che aveva provocato non poco imbarazzo...
