French born Rev Jakob Rolland, chancellor of the Diocese of Reykjavik, Iceland, told the state television Ruv.is the Church's teaching on homosexual acts. On March 5, police announced it examines the remarks and assess whether there is reason to begin an investigation. Like most priests in nominally Lutheran Iceland, Rev Rolland is a missionary. He has lived in Iceland for decades and has even changed his first name to make it more Icelandic — "no one here could say 'Jacques'". The collapsed Protestantism has arguably been replaced by the state religion of "LGBT+ advocacy". In the interview, Rev. Rolland responded affirmatively when asked if the Church hopes homosexuals will change over time, adding that it provides them with support: “That is what is very much lacking in modern society. Someone who wants to leave such a lifestyle receives no assistance.” Homosexuals who seek help from a priest of the Catholic Church “cannot find” psychologists or social workers to help them.

One is reminded of lawsuits brought on behalf of children who were given sex reassignment therapies and surgeries against the doctors who recommended or performed those procedures. Now years later they bitterly regret the physical and mental anguish they endure. Their wish is that they had recieved better counsel. Those professionals acted against their better judgement--surely they knew better--but were themselves pressured to go along with the current of the day. To prohibit this Priest from advising against acts and a way of living that can bring great unhappiness into someone's life is an act of craven elitism.
In Canada we have an attempt to criminalize the quoting of the bible which may be regarded as hate speech, in case someone's feelings get hurt by the suggestion that there is something very wrong in sexual acts between homosexuals.
Friends, I've always wondered why people go to the trouble of uttering that most awful blasphemy when a simple "damn" would do well on its own (make what you will of that word). Check out this quick blog where I ridicule this terrible behavior and suggest common sense alternatives.
Tens of thousands of Hungarians gathered on Sunday in Budapest for the largest Peace March in Hungarian history, a march supporting Hungary’s sovereignty. Prime Minister Viktor Orbándelivered the main speech at Kossuth Square, emphasizing his commitment to defending Hungary’s national achievements. “We will not allow our national colors to be replaced by Ukrainian or rainbow flags,” Orbán stated. He pledged to protect key social and economic policies, including energy price cuts, pensions, the family support system, and one of Europe’s best tax systems. “We will defend mothers, protect our children, and ensure that what we have built over the past sixteen years is not taken away,” he added. The event also featured speeches by key Fidesz and KDNP leaders. Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó addressed the crowd, declaring: “What is happening in Ukraine is not our war. We will not send a single soldier or youth to the Ukrainian front. As long as Viktor Orbán is prime …

Tissot’s Multiplication of the Loaves (editor’s own photograph). As partners with The WM Review, who are Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases through our Amazon links. Check out how are we have got with Fr Coleridge’s The Life of our Life series. Rejoice! We’re over halfway through Lent – and the Church presents us with this Gospel miracle of plenty in the multiplication of loaves. The Gospel of the Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday) recounts Our Lord’s multiplication of loaves to feed the five thousand. It takes place shortly after the death of St John the Baptist, and during the Galilean ministry, when the Apostles return from their first mission and Herod’s hostility towards Christ becomes more open. Christ draws the Apostles into solitude after their labours, and then, with deliberate forethought, multiplies loaves to prefigure the Holy Eucharist. The miracle establishes the role of the Apostles in distributing divine nourishment, reveals Christ’s hidden …

It is a mortal sin to observe the old rites after the Passion of Christ The Apostle says (Gal 5:2): “If you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” But nothing save mortal sin hinders us from receiving Christ’s fruit. Therefore since Christ’s Passion it is a mortal sin to be circumcised, or to observe the other legal ceremonies. All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith, by deeds as well as by words: and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally. Now, though our faith in Christ is the same as that of the fathers of old; yet, since they came before Christ, whereas we come after Him, the same faith is expressed in different words, by us and by them. For by them was it said: “Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,” where the verbs are in the future tense: whereas we express the same by means of verbs in the past tense, and say that she “conceived …More
Iran's hypersonic missile struck the Mossad headquarters in the center of Tel Aviv. (Added one more video) The invasion of Iran would be catastrophic and far worse than the US war in Iraq, according to Pakistan's former Minister of Information, Mushahid Hussain Sayed. Sayed said Israel has forced the US's hand in this war, claiming that they have used blackmail to push this administration into sabotaging talks and driving the Iran war. US Invasion of Iran Would Be Far Worse Than Iraq War

Once, a shepherd offended a man so deeply that the man decided to get revenge. He knew the shepherd usually grazed his animals far from town, in a quiet, isolated area where hardly anyone passed by. So he came up with a plan: he would dig a deep pit there—one the shepherd would fall into. Late at night, he grabbed a shovel and went out to the field. As he dug, he imagined the moment his enemy would step into the trap—falling into the hole, breaking a leg, maybe even dying because he couldn’t climb out. And if it wasn’t the shepherd himself, maybe one of his animals—a cow, a sheep, or a goat—would fall in instead. Driven by anger and the desire for revenge, he kept digging deeper and deeper. He became so consumed by his thoughts that he lost track of everything around him. Only when the first light of dawn appeared did he finally pause. Looking at the pit, he realized something shocking: the hole was so deep that if he climbed down into it himself, he wouldn’t be able to get out. …More

Let’s compare the USA to Rome, whose victory in the Cold War is like the defeat of Carthage, and the Pax Romana to the global hegemony of the USA in recent decades. Trump is Caesar, who, like in many Asterix comics, repeatedly falls for various whisperers who promise him victory over the indomitable Gauls. In the latest volume, Bibus Nethanyahus is the most dangerous and malicious of them all. He should have been thrown to the lions in the circus long ago, but has always managed to extricate himself from countless scandals with his ruthlessness and cunning. This is also thanks to his many influential friends in the Senate, the wealthiest merchants of Rome, and his connections to the highest command levels of the Roman army. He also has excellent connections to the highest priests of the Temple of Yahweh in his homeland, who claim to be specially chosen by …
