"Probably the most compelling argument in support of our taking of independence was the recent history of Africa; we were living cheek by jowl with the results. For example, Ghana was the first British country to be granted independence in 1957, and the British government claimed that this glorious example would prove the success of Britain’s colonial policy. Within a couple of years their President Nkrumah had established a one party dictatorship, half of the Members of Parliament were imprisoned, the leaders of the opposition had been eliminated, the economy was in ruins, and the President had established an external multi-million-pound personal bank account. We could not know at the time that in the following year, 1966, he would be ousted and lucky to get out with his life. Next in line for independence was Nigeria, in 1960, and we were told that this was a mature country with links with Britain and Europe going back over 200 years. There were big religious and ethnic differences …More

Today, Leo XIV published a message for the 2026 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. He adopts the ecological vocabulary closely associated with Francis’ pontificate. Citing Laudato Si’, he speaks of an “authentic ecological conversion” and in metaphors such as “the ecosystems of the human heart.” The message also contains a naïve statement on warfare. “The true tools for building peace are not weapons of destruction,” Leo writes, listing instead “truth, dialogue, patience, goodness, justice, mercy, understanding, care and love.” Leo XIV enfolds an earthly program of disarmament, poverty reduction and ecological improvement: “Let us imagine a world in which the energies currently invested in war are directed toward integral human development, to overcoming poverty, protecting human dignity and reconciling divided peoples. Such a vision reflects faith in the coming of God’s Kingdom.” #newsUadwzxlixo

They have forgotten what SIN is and they will eradicate ALL that reminds of SIN until they eventually declare that HELL does not exist. 1) Wisdom 2:12; Let us set a trap for the righteous man, who annoys us, opposes our ways, confronts us about our violations of the Law, and accuses us of failing to live up to our upbringing. 2) Wisdom 2:14–16; He is a reproach to our standards; his very presence is unbearable to us; he leads a life unlike anyone else’s, and his ways are strange. He regards us as bastards; he shuns our ways as if they were impurities; he proclaims the final fate of the righteous to be blessed and boasts of having God as his father. 3) Proverbs 6:16-17: "A lying tongue" and "a false witness who lies with every breath" among the seven things God detests. 4) Isaiah 5:20; Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness into light and light into darkness, who turn bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter! 5) John 8:44; You belong to your father, the devil, …More

Il nous considère comme des bâtards ; il rejette nos voies comme si elles étaient des impuretés ; il proclame que le sort final des justes est la bénédiction et se vante d’avoir Dieu pour père. » 3) Proverbes 6, 16-17 : « Une langue menteuse » et « un faux témoin qui ment à chaque souffle » figurent parmi les sept choses que Dieu déteste. 4) Ésaïe 5, 20 : « Malheur à ceux qui appellent le mal bien et le bien mal, qui changent les ténèbres en lumière et la lumière en ténèbres, qui changent l’amer en doux et le doux en amer ! » 5) Jean 8, 44 : « Vous êtes de votre père, le diable, et vous voulez accomplir …More
Why the Church stopped teaching wives must obey: Tim Gordon’s nuclear take Catholic author and podcaster Timothy Gordon joins John-Henry Westen for a wide-ranging conversation on feminism, traditional Catholic marriage, and the crisis of authority in the Church. Gordon draws from the Roman Catechism to argue that modern Catholics have become uncomfortable with traditional teachings on male headship and wifely obedience. He discusses his documentary What a Woman Is, the “Diaper Gate” controversy, and the backlash his positions have received, including from women who support his arguments. They then turn to the death penalty, where Gordon challenges recent Catholic teaching restricting capital punishment. He traces the decisive break to changes under Pope John Paul II, arguing that the traditional justification rests on retributive justice, not merely preventing future crimes. They also talk about Pope Leo XIV, the “seamless garment” approach to pro-life issues, Amoris Laetitia, and the …More

The boy who remembered being someone else... from 50 years ago Ryan Hammond, an American boy, began recounting memories of a life that—according to him—was not his own: that of Marty Martin, a Broadway dancer who had passed away five decades earlier and about whom the boy had never heard or seen anything. What was extraordinary was not just the story, but the details: names, dates, places, and specific episodes from Marty’s life that Ryan recounted with a level of precision impossible to explain for a child his age. The case came to the attention of psychiatrist Jim Tucker, renowned for his research on past-life memories at the University of Virginia. After verifying every piece of data, he confirmed that the information matched—even down to the exact years Marty lived, a detail that led researchers to discover an error on his death certificate. Coincidence, cryptomnesia, or something science cannot yet explain?
El caso de Ryan Hammond: memorias de una vida anterior bajo estudio científico Ryan Hammond, un niño estadounidense, relató desde temprana edad recuerdos detallados de lo que describió como una vida anterior: la de Marty Martin, un bailarín de Broadway fallecido hace 50 años. El caso fue investigado por Jim Tucker, psiquiatra de la Universidad de Virginia especializado en el estudio de memorias atribuidas a vidas pasadas en niños. Según su investigación, varios de los datos aportados por Ryan —nombres, lugares y circunstancias vinculadas a Marty Martin— pudieron ser verificados. Uno de los elementos más llamativos del caso fue la precisión de Ryan respecto a los años de vida de Marty Martin, lo que condujo a los investigadores a identificar una inconsistencia en su certificado de defunción oficial. El caso se suma a un conjunto de investigaciones documentadas por Tucker y su equipo sobre memorias infantiles de este tipo, un campo que continúa siendo objeto de debate dentro de la …More
Speyer Cathedral. Located on the Rhine River in southwest Germany, the trading town of Speyer thrived between the 10th and 11th centuries. Conrad II, the Holy Roman Emperor at the time, decided to construct a large cathedral with 4 towers in the town. Measuring 133m in length, it is the largest example of Romanesque architecture in the world. Germany. The word Romanesque means Roman-style, and was in direct contrast to the Gothic style which was favored in other cities. The cathedral was built by the Emperor to show his power, which is why it is also known as the Kaiser Dome and a large statue of Conrad II was placed in the entrance hall. Construction was started in 1030 and took 80 years to complete. He made numerous seemingly impossible demands, which eventually promoted new developments in architecture. Semi-circular columns hold up the stone roof. It became a characteristic feature in the design and structure of German Romanesque buildings. No stained glass was used for the chapel …More

Cardinal Burke on “Unworthy” Popes: Catholics can legitimately object to a pope’s words or actions, Cardinal Raymond Burke said in an August 18 video by the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, noting that sometimes the pope simply “speaks as a man.” He added that earlier popes spoke more cautiously to avoid confusing personal opinions with authoritative teaching. And: “Even if there were popes who did not fulfill their ministry in a worthy way, the office of the Vicar of Christ on earth stands and will always stand in the Catholic Church.” Burke also appears to make a small slip of the tongue, referring to the pope as the “successor of Christ” rather than the successor of St. Peter.
Cardinal Burke refers to the Pope as the “successor of Christ” — a slip of the tongue.
Prevost was installed through an agreement with Bergoglio, who made him a bishop and then a fake anti-cardinal, since Bergoglio was installed by the freemasons and didn't have the power to consecrate cardinals. A true Catholic disobeys and denounces the heresies and blasphemies of the usurper Prevost, who pretends to be 'Pope' to spread his leftist politics, homosexuality, and synodal syncretism. All for the eternal damnation of souls.
"REFLECTION. — Whilst we contemplate, in profound sentiments of veneration, astonishment, and praise, the glory to which Mary is raised by her triumph on this day, we ought, for our own advantage, to consider by what means she arrived at this sublime degree of honor and happiness, that we may walk in her steps. No other way is open to us. The same path which conducted her to glory will also lead us thither; we shall be partners in her reward if we copy her virtues."
August 15 ~ THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY. ON this festival, the Church commemorates the happy departure from life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and her translation into the kingdom of her Son, in which she received from Him a crown of immortal glory, and a throne above all the other Saints and heavenly spirits. After Christ, as the triumphant Conqueror of death and hell, ascended into heaven, His blessed Mother remained at Jerusalem, persevering in prayer with the disciples, till, with them, she had received the Holy Ghost. She lived to a very advanced age, but finally paid the common debt of nature, none among the children of Adam being exempt from that rigorous law. But the death of the Saints is rather to be called a sweet sleep than death ; much more that of the Queen of Saints, who had been exempt from all sin. It is a traditionary pious belief, that the body of the Blessed Virgin was raised by God soon after her death, and taken up to glory, by a singular privilege, …More
