25.09.2026 SCHNEIDER AND BARTHE VIOLATE THE NICENE CREED AND CANON LAW: POLITICALLY CORRECT IN ROME. According to AdTuendem Fidem of Pope John Paul II, Bishop Athanasius Schneider and Fr. Claude Barthe are not allowed to change the understanding of the Nicene Creed. ‘I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins’,refers to one known baptism, the baptism of water. This means LG 14 and 16 are invisible cases for me but not for them. The ‘one, holy Catholic and Apostolic Church’ today says for me that outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, there is no known salvation in personal cases. So Ad Gentes 7 is ecclesiocentric like the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the 16th century and LG 14 and 16 are not practical exceptions. The Athanasius Creed also has no explicit exceptions in Vatican Council II for me, but not for them. Next month at the Summorum Pontificum procession, Mass and conference in Rome, in general, they will not interpret Vatican Council II rationally …More
German Protestant Green politician preaches at Cologne Cathedral. Cologne’s Catholic city treasurer Dörte Diemert and pro-abortion Protestant Green politician Katrin Göring-Eckardt, a former Vice President of the German Bundestag, are preaching together at an ecumenical service at Cologne Cathedral at 4:45 p.m. today. Göring-Eckardt told the 'Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger': “I think it’s good for a Catholic house like this to have women take such a prominent role. All the Greens from Cologne I spoke to were wide-eyed and said: ‘None of us has ever been allowed to do that before.’” Göring-Eckardt, who studied Protestant theology, says she does not intend to give a political speech but to preach.

Rising Fuel Prices Set Off Anger and Protests Around the World nytimes.com/…15/world/asia/syria-fuel-price-prote… From Indonesia to Guatemala to Syria, shortages and price increases are leading to protests and blackouts. Energy Price Hikes Cause Global Protests By Damien Cave Reporting from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Sept. 15, 2026 Leer en españolThe world is furious — again — over rising energy prices caused by the American-Israeli war against Iran. Since the latest surge pushed oil above $100 a barrel, protesters have burned tires and cars in Guatemala and Syria to express their rage. Portugal’s roads have featured cars crawling in protest with honking horns after diesel reached a record high of more than $9 a gallon. And especially in the developing countries of Asia, which are heavily reliant on Middle Eastern energy and deep in debt from earlier efforts to offset the war’s impacts, transport systems and governments are facing another round of enormous strain. Fuel shortages and …More
“Come back in five years,” she told the man who was walking out on her. He was leaving her with five children. The youngest was still a baby. He had fallen for a much younger woman, someone barely older than his oldest daughter. But leaving wasn’t enough. As he packed up his new life, he took almost everything from the apartment with him: furniture, appliances, dishes, anything he thought had value. When the last boxes disappeared through the front door, the place felt strangely hollow. Every sound echoed off the bare walls. The little boys didn’t seem to mind. They found an old bicycle that had been left behind and rode it from room to room, ringing the tiny bell. Ring-ring. Their mother didn’t cry in front of him. She didn’t beg him to stay, and she didn’t ask for anything back. As he carried another box toward the door, she simply looked at him and said: “Come back in five years. You’ll see. We’ll have everything we need.” And five years later, he did come back. But he was no longer …More
Sanctuary as stage: a “Gratitude Tree” in Pécs Cathedral. A plastic tree has been installed in front of the sanctuary inside the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul in Pécs, Hungary, to mark World Gratitude Day on September 21.

Ein katholischer Priester, Pater Stanisław Zbojnowicz, wurde in Polen getötet, nachdem er niedergestochen worden war, als er Berichten zufolge versuchte, die Kirche während der Beichte zu schließen. Er wurde schwer verletzt und erlag später im Krankenhaus seinen Verletzungen.
Saint Peter’s Basilica will hold a Lectio Francisci and Eucharist on October 24 - the same date and place requested by the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage for its Mass in the Roman rite.

As permission was denied, Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s Mass is moved to Santa Maria Maggiore at 3 p.m. No reason for the refusal has been given.

450 Thousand El Nino Deaths THAT'S NOT THE FOOD STORY. 451,000 heat deaths. That’s the headline. It is a Climate Impact Lab model of heat. It is not a count of crop failure, drought, fertilizer shortages, diesel costs, shipping disruptions, export bans, or hunger. Yanasa has been tracking those pieces for six months. This video puts them next to the heat number — without adding them together, and without turning a stress test into a forecast. Sources in the description. Watch the harvests. What this video covers : • Climate Impact Lab’s 451,000 additional heat-death projection (model; not peer-reviewed) • Why heat is one pathway — not the whole food-system risk • Hormuz, nitrogen, ammonia/urea/sulfur, and the IEA’s yield warning • Why fertilizer shocks hit with a delay: price → planting → season → harvest → feed → grocery • Jonathan Kelly, From Hormuz to Hunger: independent stress test, 118–225 million probability-weighted range — not a WFP/FAO forecast. Mechanism ≠ mortality scenarios …More
James 1:14–15 "Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
The click is dying. Gloria.tv flourishes. “Social media is becoming an increasingly urgent issue in communications,” Cardinal Marx of Munich - not exactly known for his Catholic convictions - observed on Monday. Cardinal Marx added: “The media landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. We are witnessing a turning point.” On that, he is right. The old model of editorial, paternalistic media is fading. Users want a voice of their own. They increasingly consume headlines and news snippets directly in their feeds without ever clicking through. We see it on Gloria.tv: about 90% of users never get beyond roughly 1,000 characters. Gloria.tv has changed with the media landscape — into a social network. And it works: Gloria.tv ranks among the 10,000 largest websites worldwide on Cloudflare Radar. But success doesn't pay the bills. Our autumn fundraising goal is €10,000. That would give us breathing room until Advent. For almost twenty years, Gloria.tv has been short of money. That, too,…More
I found an interesting video I would like to share. If you could finish to the end he has some very interesting things he says. Especially towards the end. That's what I found the most interesting. I watched a lot of his short videos last night. He showed and told me nothing I knew already. That Iran is not what they say it is. Under the link to the video, I am going to leave his channel as well. I prefer short video's so that's where I will leave it for anyone interested. If you prefer longer ones, just click live or video's. He has a funny sense of humor. Women in Iran: Powerful or Controlled? Here is his channel. Women in Iran: Powerful or Controlled?
‘LIFE— OF — SAINT CATHARINE OF SIENNA’ BY THE BLESSED RAYMOND OF CAPUA, HER CONFESSOR; 1853 edition; ‘Prologue; pages 19-21 Prologue David, the prophet of Christ, son of Isai the sweet singer of Israel, said, when speaking of the coming of the Messiah: *'Let these things be written unto another generation ; and the people that shall be created, shall praise the Lord." The holy man Job, desiring to announce the Resurrection, exclaimed: **Who will giant that my words may be written ? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book ? with an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint-stone?'* These passages of Holy Writ prove to us that whatever can glorify God and edify men, ought not to be related in one age and in one locality, but should be written down and taught to those who live, or who will live hereafter. Solomon said, Generatio proeterit et generatio advenit (Eccl. i. 4,) One generation goeth, and another cometh. It is not just that …More
"I assure all the readers of this book, in presence of the God of truth, that there is in my narrative neither fiction nor falsehood, and that the facts are as faithfully reported as my weakness would allow. In order to satisfy even the least credulous, I will cite, in the different Chapters, the witnesses of what I relate ; and it will be clearly seen from what source I have drawn what 1 offer to refresh the soul. And as I purpose doing all in the name of the adorable Trinity, I have divided the book Into three parts."
