From shoe shiner to billionaire—that’s how the story of the beginnings of this family’s financial power can be summarized in a nutshell. The house under the green sign in Judengasse in Frankfurt am Main, home of the Rothschild family since 1786 or 1787. Source. Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812), who lived in Judengasse in Frankfurt am Main, sent his five sons to the largest cities in Europe at that time, where they created the first international banking system. In 1789, when the last war lasted until 1815, in a very, very short period of time, it was said that no government and no king would consider going to war without the support of the Rothschilds, as they had become so incredibly influential and powerful. These words were spoken by Hannah Rothschild in an interview with CNBC. Excerpt from an interview with Hannah Rothschild. Source. You are …
We continue Luisella Scrosati’s series on the orientation of Christian worship with her fifth part, “Le singolarità della basilica costantiniana di San Pietro”, originally published in Italian on the website of La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana on November 30, and reproduced here by permission of the editors. (Read Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4) The rule of praying towards the east, which determined the orientation of churches, had some exceptions. This is neither surprising nor scandalous. It has already been mentioned that the east-west axis was sometimes not feasible, either because the buildings already existed and were converted for religious use, or because new buildings had to take into account the presence of roads and other factors that made traditional orientation impossible. Karl Otto Nußbaum argued (see Part 4) that Italy, and Rome in particular, had no traces of oriented prayer, at least until the eighth century. On the contrary, Monsignor Stefan Heid has shown that …
31.12.2025 SEDEVACANTIST BISHOPS SANBORN AND PIVARUNAS HAVE TO CLOSE SHOP : THE COUNCIL AND CATECHISM ARE TRADITIONAL The sedevacantists Bishop Mark Pivarunas and the CMRI , Bishop Donald Sanborn and the late Fr. Anthony Cekada at the MHT seminary and Peter and Michael Dimond at the Most Holy Family Monastery, New York, USA interpret Vatican Council II irrationally. For them Lumen Gentium 8 etc is a break with Tradition. So they correctly reject the conclusion of Vatican Council ( irrational), while using the false premise ( LG ,8,14, 16 etc are visible cases they are known in particular people in the present times ) to interpret Lumen Gentium 8 etc. On the website of the CMRI there is a list of baptism of desire cases. All are interpreted as being visible exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) . But this is false. In reality the baptism of desire cases are always invisible for us human beings. Bishop Pivarunas and the CMRI continue with the error even after …More
It's this color-coded "read in between the lines" method that many call the "Vatican II step": state something [seemingly] out of line with tradition, then counter it with something orthodox. People then read & take to heart the part they want and ignore the other {pick & choose = actual meaning of the term heresy]. This is why someone like Mother Angelica or Bishop Fulton Sheen were in favor of the Council documents "if read in the light of tradition." It's also why the modernists assert that the "new Springtime of the Church began in 1965 - like Francis & crew. Benedict XVI tried to fix it with his hermeneutic of continuity. It's a mess.

Many are the claims against the Filioque and they can be confusing. Let’s list some accusations: New Creeds and additions to the Nicene Creed are forbidden in antiquity This is because the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus (AD 431) forbade new Creeds The Creed of the undivided church had no Filioque The phrase “and from the Son” in the Creed was added by Rome For my part, I plan to show: The Roman Church’s present use of the Filioque in the Nicene Creed reflects some of the earliest versions of the Nicene Creed. The Council of Ephesus forbade the composition of new Creeds by private persons to ensure no errors of Arianism for converts The undivided Church knew in different places many additions to the Nicene Creed, accepted by today’s Oriental and Eastern Orthodox Rome never added the Filioque but accepted its orthodoxy just like Churches in the East had done for centuries prior to the onset of monolingualism in Byzantium 1. Additions to the Creed have been forbidden since by an …More
refer to St Thomas Aquinas on immigration...according to the Saint, one requirement is that the immigrant not change the existing culture. Certain basic beliefs must be the same. Prior immigrants from Italy, Poland, France, etc were from countries/cultures that understood Christendom (granted, often honored in the breach)

Secularism is the Canadian state religion: Quebec’s Secularism Minister, Jean-François Roberge, introduced Bill C-9, which aims to strengthen secularism in the province. He said during Advent: "We can wish someone merry Christmas. We can sing Christmas songs. This is nothing but tradition. But we shouldn’t make any references to the birth of baby Jesus." Talk of Santa Claus and elves is allowed. Religious symbols are banned for people working in education, daycare centres and universities.
Pope Benedict XVI left the Chair of Peter amid debate about what his decision meant for the Church. Above all else, it was an act of fatherly love and sacrifice.
