Give him your exact age. Years, days, hours. He'll tell you how many seconds you have been alive — and he'll do it faster than you can write the question down. His name was Thomas Fuller. He could not read. He could not write. He never spent a single day in a classroom. And he may have been the fastest human calculator who ever lived. Fuller was born around 1710 in West Africa, in the region that today stretches between Liberia and Benin. He was about 14 years old when slave traders seized him, put him on a ship, and sold him across an ocean he had never seen. The year was 1724. He would spend the rest of his long life enslaved on a 232-acre plantation near Alexandria, Virginia, owned by Presley and Elizabeth Cox. He worked the fields. That was the whole of the world allowed to him. But something remarkable was happening inside that man's head. Fuller began measuring everything around him. How many grains in a bushel of wheat. How many hairs on a cow's tail — he once put the number at …More
The episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in Écône on July 1 have revived an old question: how many Catholics are attached to the FSSPX? The answer is surprisingly elusive. Depending on the source, estimates range from around 100,000 to as many as 600,000 faithful worldwide. The FSSPX itself continues to publish the figure of 600,000 faithful. However, the number of 600,000 comes from a speech delivered in 2007 by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. Speaking to the Latin American bishops at Aparecida, he stated that the "Lefebvrian group" consisted of four bishops, 500 priests and 600,000 faithful. The number is difficult to reconcile with the FSSPX’s infrastructure. The FSSPX has approximately 730 priests, about 180 priories and houses, and 750 chapels and Mass centres. Many of these chapels are small mission stations where Mass is celebrated only once or twice a month with few faithful. In 2019, Fr Pascal …More

Sooner or later, children find out the truth about everything. Time has a remarkable way of revealing the truth. When children are young, they may not understand the sacrifices you made for them. They don't know how many nights you stayed awake. How many times you went without buying something for yourself just to make sure they had everything they needed. They don't remember the tears you hid, the silent worries, or the daily effort it took to keep the family going. But one day, they grow up. And they begin to put the pieces of their story together. They discover who was there when they needed someone the most. Who held them close when they were sick. Who celebrated their achievements. Who stood beside them after every fall. And who made love a constant choice, not just a word. They also come to understand who was absent, who made promises but never kept them, and who chose other priorities. There's no need to speak badly about anyone. The truth always finds its own way. Actions leave …More
“I’ve diagnosed over 20,000 cancer patients in my career… I’ve NEVER seen anything like this.” — Dr. William Makis, MD Stage 4 breast cancers in women in their 20s. Stage 4 colon cancers in men & women in their 20s–30s. Leukemias that kill in days or even hours. Lymphomas that kill in a month. These “turbo cancers” are hitting vaccinated Canadian doctors, medical students, and residents — presenting at stage 4 and killing them in months. 99.9% of Canadian doctors took the shots.
French Church Vandalised, Nothing Stolen: On 5 July, Saint-Étienne Church in Mulhouse, eastern France, was vandalised. A man entered the church, went straight to the sanctuary, removed the cross from the altar and threw it to the floor. He then knocked over a vase and used the cross to force open the doors of three confessionals, some dating back to the early 19th century. Nothing was stolen; the damage was confined to religious furnishings and symbols.
Dimanche 5 juillet, vers 16 h 30, l’église Saint-Étienne de Mulhouse a été la cible d’un acte de vandalisme. Un homme est entré dans l’édifice vide, a jeté au sol la croix de l’autel, renversé un vase, puis utilisé la croix pour fracturer les portes de trois confessionnaux, dont certains datent du début du XIXᵉ siècle.
On 5 July, the animal rights organisation PETA staged a blasphemous demonstration in Pamplona. The protest featured a man portraying Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns, surrounded by activists in bikinis covered in red paint, to oppose bullfighting and urge the Catholic Church to condemn the practice.
La nouvelle provocation de PETA qui offense tous les chrétiens: À la veille de l'ouverture des fêtes de San Fermín, l'organisation animaliste PETA a organisé à Pampelune une mise en scène représentant le Christ entouré de militants recouverts de peinture rouge afin d'exiger que l'Église condamne la corrida
And now, a crucial question arises: Could the cardinals of the 1958 conclave have known whether the new Pope was resigning under duress? The answer is yes! What's more, they knew it because they were all canonists, of course. But how could this be recognised? It's quite simple! We don't see a new Pope accepting his office only to renounce it half an hour later, and what's more, only in front of the cardinals, the people having been notified of his election only by the white smoke. The cardinals should therefore have informed the new Pope that his resignation was invalid under canon 185, and that the conclave was already over because of his acceptance.

Had Pope Pius XII lived two years longer, much of the mess would not have occurred. Roncalli never would have been elected and Montini would not have been named a cardinal.
Real Lutherans in America go either Missouri or Wisconsin Synod. ELCA is 40 years ahead of modernist Catholics down the road of Apostacy and irrelevance.
1 Corinthians 5:13 God will judge those outside the church. So you must put that sinful person out of your church. Our Lady of Fatima: “More souls go to Hell because of the sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” Judgment on False Teachers Jude 7 just as Sodom and Gomor′rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister[a] who is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one.
Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302 We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: ‘Behold, here are two swords‘ [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: ‘Put up thy sword into thy scabbard‘ [Mt 26:52]. Therefore, both are in the power of the Church, namely, the spiritual sword and the material. But indeed, the latter is to be exercised on behalf of the Church; and truly, the former is to be exercised by the Church. The former is of the priest; the latter is by the hand of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest. However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority,…More
A fire broke out at the base of the 676-year-old Gothic Basilica of Saint Michael in Bordeaux’s historic Saint-Michel quarter. The blaze started in makeshift tents used by homeless migrants on the church grounds.
