Terrifying!! A Massive Echinus geyser eruption at Yellowstone has scientists worried. Yellowstone is changing — but not in the way many headlines suggest. In 2026, Echinus Geyser returned to a pattern of recurring activity after years of relative quiet. Its September 15 eruption was part of a broader period of renewed hydrothermal activity across Yellowstone. At the same time, scientists were documenting something far more concerning: repeated hydrothermal disturbances and explosions at Biscuit Basin. On September 27, 2026, a small collapse pool formed after the June 13 Biscuit Basin hydrothermal explosion produced another significant explosion. Just after 8:12 PM MDT, boiling water, steam, mud, and rocks were thrown at least 100 feet, or approximately 30 meters, into the air. The event was captured by nearby seismic, acoustic, and camera monitoring equipment. So what does this mean for Yellowstone? Could another hydrothermal explosion happen? And does Echinus Geyser's renewed activity …More
Leo XIV’s Amoris Laetitia meeting: “Families that fall short of the ideal of marriage can manifest Christian virtues”. Today, Véronique Lonchamp addressed the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia. She is responsible for family ministry at the French Bishops’ Conference. She said that attitudes such as fidelity [!] and mercy can be manifested in any family seeking to live the Gospel, even when “its situation does not fully correspond to the Christian ideal of marriage.” Lonchamp also listed “pastoral” initiatives that have emerged in France over the past decade under the influence of Amoris Laetitia. Her list included: “The contribution of couples to the development of diocesan guidelines for accompanying separated or divorced persons or those who have entered a new union.” Lonchamp did not specify which dioceses were involved or what the guidelines contain. #newsSdnabbqteu
Gloria.tv is disgusting! They are already digging up dirt on Bishop Cota to smear him. He probably said something about a "synodal Church" or an "open Church"—which, to Gloria.tv and its minions, makes him a heretic.
Brett Pike @ClassicLearner Colorado reported that 10,000 students have been pulled out of public school to homeschool. This is happening all over the country, and the crazy thing, in my anecdotal experience as the homeschool guy, so many of the parents are public school teachers. Makes you think.
13.10.2026 THERE IS A BIG SHIFY IN THEOLOGY IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON An injustice was done to Michael Voris and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire. FR. GEORGES DE LAIRE AND THE JUDGE IN THE MICHAEL VORIS CASE STILL INTERPRET VC 2 UNETHICALLY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE -2 Vatican Council II is dogmatic and ecclesiocentric and is aligned with the extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire, USA and not the Diocese of Manchester in NH- and so, neither with Pope Leo XIV and the Vatican. This is a big shift in theology in the Archdiocese of Boston, of which Manchester is a suffrage diocese. Ad Gentes 7 ( all need faith and baptism for salvation) is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442, with hypothetical cases of LG 8,14,16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, not being practical exceptions for AG 7, EENS or CCC 846 ( Outside the Church No Salvation). The Council is traditional. This …More
Detroit Archbishop Edward Weisenburger declared that “sins against creation are among the very serious sins” at a September 30 synodal listening session. He criticized the Trump administration's removal of electric vehicle tax incentives and urged Catholics to “cooperate with creation,” invoking Pope Leo XIV. The meeting's findings will be forwarded through the Catholic Climate Covenant to the Vatican. Monsignor Weisenburger, who severely restricted the Traditional Latin Mass in Detroit in 2025, now champions environmental initiatives inspired by Laudato Si’.
In France, Leo XIV told different audiences what they want to hear: reassuring conservatives while also offering a positive interpretation of the French Revolution's ideals. Polish priest and philosopher Andrzej Kobyliński observed talking to Jan Pospieszalski on October 6 about Leo XIV's France trip: “The various statements during this pilgrimage were addressed to different groups in France. In a sense, everyone got what they wanted. There were statements affirming the value of tradition, but there were also very positive words about the interpretation of the slogan ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.’" And: "There was not a single critical remark - which also surprised me greatly - about the heart of the dispute. That is, concerning the Enlightenment project and the legacy of the French Revolution. That was completely missing."
Atlanta Journal August 6th, 1913 Solicitor Dorsey in Vigorous Speech Protests Against Striking Evidence, Declaring He Has Witnesses to Corroborate the Negro and That Striking of Testimony Will Prevent His Getting Their Statements Before the Jury Sustaining a motion made by the defense in the trial of Leo M. Frank, Judge L. S. Roan Tuesday afternoon announced that he would rule out all of Conley's testimony charging the accused superintendent with perversion, and the negro's testimony that he acted as a "lookout" for Frank on days previous to the murder. The judge ruled that Conley's testimony that he watched for the accused on the day of the tragedy would remain in evidence. Attorney Arnold entered the court about two minutes late. Mr. Rosser had not arrived. Mr. Arnold asked that the jury be sent out and stated that he had several motions to make. The jury went out. The first, he said, was a motion to exclude certain testimony from the record on the ground that it was wholly irrelevant …More
Cardinal Joseph Zen has welcomed Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s reflections on a “hostile takeover” within the Catholic Church. “Thank you, Bishop Schneider, for sharing such an interesting anecdote and your reflections,” Cardinal Zen wrote on X on October 11. Zen was referring to Schneider’s recollection of a conversation between the two prelates, during which Zen revealed that his favourite Gregorian chant was the Introit for Sexagesima Sunday: “Exsúrge, quare obdórmis, Dómine?” - “Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord?” Bishop Schneider recalled how Zen had explained that the melody places particular emphasis on Exsúrge — “Arise!” — conveying an urgent appeal for divine intervention. Schneider also recounted an incident in Rome in which Cardinal Zen had attempted to persuade another cardinal on an important matter concerning the Church. When the other cardinal remained stubborn and unimpressed, Zen began singing the same Gregorian chant directly to him: “Wake up, why are you sleeping? Wake up!” …More

The Sun King’s Tragic Refusal October 16, Memorial of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque Dear brothers and sisters, we find ourselves in the 17th century—the *Grand Siècle* (the "Great Century")—when France reached the pinnacle of its political, military, and cultural influence in Europe. This golden age conventionally spans from 1610 to 1715, covering the reigns of Louis XIII and, above all, his son Louis XIV, the Sun King. Yet, all that glitters is not gold. Indeed, behind the splendor of the flourishing fields of literature, theater, philosophy, science, and the visual arts; behind the magnificence of the Palace of Versailles—where the King, nobles, and high clergy lived in a gilded bubble (representing 2% of the population); and behind the wealthy, educated upper bourgeoisie—bankers, merchants, and lawyers (representing 13% of the population)—lay the tragic reality of artisans and, above all, the vast mass of peasants and rural laborers. Their standard of living was extremely precarious,…More
So the Catholic faith was always very important to you? Definitely. I altar served throughout grade school. Actually, I even served a couple Masses at college at Pitt. Like I said, the nuns were tough, but it was really good for me. Everything has changed because they don’t get the vocations anymore. They need the vocations in order to do what they have to do.
The Catholic archbishop responsible for U.S. military personnel said it is “morally acceptable” for service members to disobey an order if it is against their own conscience, as the Trump administration weighs possible troop deployments to Minneapolis, and the use of force to seize Greenland.
The real issue here is how very precious few people have a well-formed conscience. The average person is so out of touch with reality that most will confuse feelings or ideals with conscience.
Inclusion of adulterers and “persons identifying as LGBTQ” called for at the current Vatican meeting on Amoris Laetitia. American Catholic moral theologian Prof. Julie Hanlon Rubio addressed the Vatican’s meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia on October 12. Rubio recounted the case of an elderly woman with dementia who refused Communion because her husband had previously been married. The woman, she said, remembered that “she was not worthy to receive the Body of Christ.” Rubio presented the story as evidence that feelings of exclusion persist. She also quoted Francis’s assertion that “the fact that … love [!] is imperfect doesn’t mean it’s false or unreal,” adding that human fragility is “not a problem to be solved but a fundamental element of our humanity to be integrated.” Rubio again cited Francis: “No one can be condemned forever! It is not the logic of the Gospel!” She said “this principle” should apply to “everyone.” In a footnote, she specified whom she believed …More
Here, not only is God's help denied in the temporary separation of a married couple, but also the punishment for mortal sins and the existence of hell.
They could not find ONE repentant adulterer/ess? I'll tell you this, they weren't even looking. I know many who's stories will drop your jaw at the goodness of our Lord and His glory speaking to them and saving their families, when all seemed lost, and so much damage done. A reconciled family is a JOY to behold!! It is a blasphemy that God's Glory and Grace are repeatedly denied testimiony in His Own Church.
Should sinners conform to the Church’s moral ideal - or should the Church move closer to them? Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David of the Philippines addressed the Vatican’s 10th-anniversary Amoris Laetitia meeting on October 12 in a video presentation. He said the exhortation encouraged pastors “to discern concrete situations rather than begin with classifications, to accompany gradual growth, and to trust that grace can already be at work even in lives and relationships marked by weakness and incompleteness.” And: “Not simply to ask how close families are to the ideal, but also how close the Church is willing to come to families in their actual struggles.” During the Vatican's meeting, terms such as “weakness,” “incompleteness,” and “vulnerability” are used as blatant euphemisms for adultery and other sexual sins.

Pablo Virgilio Siongco David (Philippines) at the Vatican Amoris laetitia summit, today: "To discern concrete situations rather than begin with classifications, to accompany gradual growth, and to trust that grace can already be at work even in lives and relationships marked by weakness and incompleteness.” How to understand Amoris Laetitia: “Not simply to ask how close families are to the ideal, but also how close the Church is willing to come to families in their actual struggles.”
Columbus absolutely did "discover America" if you understand the provenance of the word. We probably should say "the Americas" to clarify this statement nowadays, as we use "America" to refer to the United States. Education is not her strong point.
