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, and …More
1) Księga Mądrości 2:12; Zastawmy pułapkę na sprawiedliwego, który nas irytuje, sprzeciwia się naszym drogom, wytyka nam łamanie Prawa i oskarża nas o to, że nie postępujemy zgodnie z naszym wychowaniem. 2) Księga Mądrości 2:14–16; Jest on hańbą dla naszych norm; sama jego obecność jest dla nas nie do zniesienia; prowadzi życie inne niż wszyscy, a jego drogi są dziwne. Uważa nas za bękartów; unika naszych dróg, jakby były nieczystościami; głosi, że ostatecznym losem sprawiedliwych jest błogosławieństwo, i chwali się, że ma Boga za ojca. 3) Księga Przysłów 6:16–17: „Kłamliwy język” i „fałszywy świadek, który kłamie z każdym oddechem” należą do siedmiu rzeczy, których Bóg nienawidzi. 4) Księga Izajasza 5:20 Biada tym, którzy zło nazywają dobrem, a dobro złem, którzy zamieniają ciemność w światło, a światło w ciemność, którzy zamieniają gorycz w słodycz, a słodycz w gorycz! 5) Ewangelia według św.

During a secret Vatican consultation in 2016, six voters didn't simply doubt the Medjugorje apparitions but reportedly concluded that the devil was behind the phenomenon, Italian journalist David Murgia reported August 17 on IlSegnoDiGiona.com. Six participants in the confidential consultation of the Vatican's then-Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith concluded that Medjugorje could not be explained without the “original, direct and foundational intervention” of the Evil One. Three of the six were reportedly cardinals. In Murgia's account, they considered Medjugorje not a “Mariophany” - an appearance of Mary - but a “Satanophany.” Their proposed judgment was constat de praeternaturalitate maligna: essentially, a finding of malign preternatural origin. The six were part of a larger group of 33 Church figures who submitted opinions on Medjugorje in 2016. According to Murgia, 21 rejected a supernatural origin, nine favored it, and three remained undecided. The six who attributed the …More
Supreme Court Again Rejects Trump’s Appeal of $5 Million E. Jean Carroll Payment The court declined President Trump’s long-shot request that it reconsider his appeal. He has separately asked the court to overturn a much larger 2024 award. nytimes.com/…08/17/us/politics/supreme-court-trum… By Ann E. Marimow Reporting from Washington Aug. 17, 2026, 11:26 a.m. ET The Supreme Court for a second time refused a request by President Trump to review a $5 million civil judgment against him after a jury found in 2023 that he had sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll. The announcement on Monday did not include the justices’ reasons, which is typical when the court issues routine orders. There were no noted dissents. Mr. Trump paid Ms. Carroll in July, a few days after the court initially turned away the president’s appeal. He also made a long-shot request to the justices that they reconsider, which the court formally declined on Monday. The president has separately asked the …More
Half-naked dance in Brazilian church. Worse than Germany: A video posted on Instagram on 25 May shows members of the traditional Caiapós de São José group dancing inside St Benedict's Church in Poços de Caldas, Brazil, wearing their minimal pagan-looking attire. The group said they entered the church at the end of the festivities to thank St Benedict for his blessings.
Semi-nude members of the folkloric group Caiapós de São José are seen rehearsing inside St. Benedict Church in Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Feast of St. Benedict is celebrated there from May 1-13. The festivities honor St. Benedict, patron saint of Black Brazilians, and recall the abolition of slavery and the traditional assistance Caiapós gave to enslaved people.
[Blaise Pascal – XVII Century AD; born: Clermont-Ferrand, France/died: Paris, France; Mathematics/Physics/Theology] 73. But perhaps this subject goes beyond the capacity of reason. Let us therefore examine her solutions to problems within her powers. If there be anything to which her own interest must have made her apply herself most seriously, it is the inquiry into her own sovereign good. Let us see, then, wherein these strong and clear-sighted souls have placed it and whether they agree. One says that the sovereign good consists in virtue, another in pleasure, another in the knowledge of nature, another in truth, Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas, another in total ignorance, another in indolence, others in disregarding appearances, another in wondering at nothing, nihil admirari prope res una quae possit facere et servare beatum, and the true sceptics in their indifference, doubt, and perpetual suspense, and others, wiser, think to find a better definition. We are well satisfied. …More

"76. To write against those who made too profound a study of science: Descartes. 77. I cannot forgive Descartes. In all his philosophy he would have been quite willing to dispense with God. But he had to make Him give a fillip to set the world in motion; beyond this, he has no further need of God. 78. Descartes useless and uncertain. 79. Descartes.—We must say summarily: "This is made by figure and motion," for it is true. But to say what these are, and to compose the machine, is ridiculous. For it is useless, uncertain, and painful. And were it true, we do not think all Philosophy is worth one hour of pain."
Pope Leo XIV just said that priests should remain faithful to the rubrics of the Mass. Okay, then. Let’s actually take that seriously for a moment, because if the Pope is telling priests to remain faithful to the rubrics, then what exactly are we supposed to make of priests who routinely decide to do their own thing during Mass? I’m not talking about legitimate options that the Roman Missal actually gives the priest. I’m talking about adding things that aren’t there, removing things that are there, changing things because Father doesn’t like them, or inserting something because it fits his personality or his particular idea of what the congregation needs. If the Church gives you a liturgy and says, “This is how you are to celebrate it,” and you knowingly decide, “Well, I’m going to do it my way,” then isn’t that, at the very least, disobedience to the Church’s liturgical law? And if the Pope himself is now emphasizing fidelity to the rubrics, are these priests being disobedient to the …More
Bishop Athanasius Schneider has issued his first public statement since Leo XIV declared six FSSPX bishops excommunicated on July 2, published on Diane Montagna's Substack. Schneider had previously appealed for liturgical peace, meeting with Pope Leo XIV in December 2025 and Cardinal Parolin a little over a week before the July 1 episcopal consecration. Bishop Schneider's central claim: in an extraordinary Church crisis, fidelity to unambiguous doctrine and traditional liturgy can outweigh obedience to ecclesiastical law. He opens with St. Athanasius, excommunicated by Pope Liberius in 357 for refusing communion with Arian bishops the Pope himself had recognized under imperial pressure. Athanasius was later canonized as a Doctor of the Church; Liberius was never canonized. Schneider treats Écône as a modern parallel — a forced choice between canonical obedience and doctrinal integrity. Bishop Schneider blames two distortions for narrowing this question: "legalism" (treating Church law …More
RealRobert @Real_RobN And here it is… USAID more than doubled its spending on Brazil as soon as Bolsonaro won the 2018 election. This wasn’t because Brazil suddenly needed twice the aid; the money was spent on operations aimed at overthrowing the Brazilian government. The 2022 Brazilian election was stolen from Bolsonaro just as the 2020 U.S. election was stolen from Donald Trump and from Kari Lake in 2022, with USAID and the CIA involved in installing election-rigging machines that Brazilians didn’t even want. Just months before the election, CIA Director William Burns visited Brazil and warned Bolsonaro not to cast doubt on the voting machines or contest the election results — implying the newly installed machines were compromised. Additionally, Defense Secretary Lloyd “Woke” Austin — a DEI hire — visited Brazil and pressured the Chief of the Brazilian Armed Forces to accept the election results and support Lula, a convicted felon and self-proclaimed communist. How’s that for election …More
Irish Female Preacher at Eucharist: "I’d Love to See Women Priests" Worse than Germany: On 13 August, Irish TV broadcaster Mary Kennedy delivered the homily during the 'National Novena' at Knock Basilica, Ireland. Kennedy is divorced, has had subsequent relationships and said she “shouldn’t really be receiving Holy Communion” but is an “à la carte Catholic”. She added, “that’s the kind of Catholic that suits me.” Furthermore, Kennedy said that she loves “the sound of the Muslim call to prayer”. Later in the address, Kennedy criticised what she described as the “male-dominated” ministry: “I would love to see women priests. I really would.”
On 13 August 2026, Irish broadcaster Mary Kennedy delivered a roughly 15-minute guest address entitled “Faith in Full View” during the National Novena to Our Lady of Knock in Knock Basilica, Co. Mayo, following the Gospel: “I would like it if it weren’t such a male-dominated ministry. I think there is real value in having women in important positions in the Church. It’s not going to change in my lifetime, or in the lifetimes of other people present here, but I really do feel that women would have a huge contribution to make to the Church, and I would love to see women priests. I really would.”
One day at school, a teacher asked the class to think about the Seven Wonders of the World. The assignment was simple: each student had to write down what they personally believed were the seven greatest wonders in the world. As the teacher began collecting the papers, he noticed that one girl was still writing. “Do you need some help?” he asked. She looked up and said, “Yes. I’m having a hard time choosing. There are just so many wonderful things in this world.” The teacher smiled and said, “Why don’t you share what you have so far?” The girl hesitated for a moment, then stood up and began to read. “To me, the seven wonders of the world are: 1. To see 2. To hear 3. To move 4. To touch 5. To feel 6. To laugh 7. To love.” The classroom fell completely silent. Sometimes the greatest wonders aren’t famous landmarks or places we travel thousands of miles to see. Sometimes, they’re the simple gifts we experience every single day.
One Canadian pastor who isn’t afraid to speak out as the Canadian military moves to ban Christian prayer at public events. It’s just another government attack against Christians.
