Historic First: Two Women to Lead German Deanery

Two women will jointly lead the Catholic Deanery of Bremen-Nord, Hildesheim Diocese, for the first time, marking a historic shift in church leadership. The decision was announced on July 21.
Ute Zeilmann is a theologian and will oversee pastoral ministry and the pastoral staff. Agnes Dobrzynski will lead administration. Both have worked in the Bremen-Nord deanery for several years.
To meet canonical requirements, Rev Johannes Pawellek will act as moderating priest, accompanying the new leadership team after his retirement in November 2026.
The pastoral team will also be joined by Rev Pradyut Bahla, an Indian priest currently pursuing doctoral studies in Frankfurt. He will serve in Bremen-Nord for five years.
The two women want “to embrace the global Church's call to synodality: leading together, listening to the Holy Spirit, and moving away from isolated leadership decisions”.
The Diocese of Hildesheim was led by pro-homosexual Bishop Heiner Wilmer until June 2026. He was promoted by …More

A Modern Orthodox Jew on Preserving Hebrew and the Latin Mass — Beyond These Stone Walls

A conversation between Father Gordon MacRae and his friend, a Modern Orthodox Jewish scholar, has something to add to the debate about preserving Latin in the Mass. July 22, 2026 by Seth Bader, J.D. with an Introduction by Father Gordon MacRae Introduction In the image above this post, Melchizedek, the Priest-King of Genesis 14, blesses Abraham with a sacrificial offering of bread and wine (The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek painted by Juan Antonio de Frias y Escalante in 1668, housed at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain). The affairs of Rome have not been the only source of heat throughout the world in recent weeks. The winds of war have reached hurricane force, and the rule of law and authority in both Church and State clashes against public sentiment. And the weather has not cooperated at all. It is about 105 degrees inside this place on the day I write. None of this has been comfortable. Back in 2021, I wrote a post entitled, “A House Divided: Cancel Culture and the Latin Mass…

As the State of New York prepares to implement, on August 5 next, its new law on "medical aid in dying," four Catholic religious congregations, joined by Bishop John Barres of Rockville Centre, have filed a lawsuit in federal court

"Nous ne nous soumettrons jamais" : quatre congrégations attaquent l'État de New York sur l' "aide à mourir" - Tribune Chrétienne

Dans un pays où l'euthanasie demeure interdite mais où le suicide assisté progresse État après État, elles dénoncent une législation qui les contraindrait à coopérer à une pratique contraire à leur foi et à leur mission Aux États-Unis, l’euthanasie active demeure interdite dans l’ensemble des cinquante États. En revanche, le suicide assisté, que la législation américaine désigne sous le nom de Medical Aid in Dying, est désormais autorisé dans treize États ainsi qu’à Washington D.C. Le principe est différent de celui de l’euthanasie : le médecin ne provoque jamais lui-même la mort du patient, mais prescrit une substance létale que celui-ci doit s’administrer lui-même. C’est dans ce contexte que l’État de New York s’apprête à rejoindre les États ayant légalisé cette pratique. Promulguée en février 2026 par la gouverneure démocrate Kathy Hochul, la loi new-yorkaise entrera en vigueur le 5 août prochain. Elle autorise les adultes atteints d’une maladie incurable, dont l’espérance de vie …

FOCOLARES, NEO CATECHUMENAL WAY, CHARISMATIC RENEWAL LIKE FR. DAVIDE PAGLIARANI SAY OUTSIDE THE CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION: ONLY OPTION

FOCOLARES, NEO CATECHUMENAL WAY, CHARISMATIC RENEWAL LIKE FR. DAVIDE PAGLIARANI SAY OUTSIDE THE CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION: ONLY OPTION
Kiko Arguello’s Neo Catechumenal Way and Chiara Lubich’s Focolares now have to interpret LG 8, 14, 16 etc in Vatican council II as being invisible and hypothetical cases in 2026-2027. So Vatican Counc8il II ( AG 7) is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442, while LG 8 etc are not practical exceptions for EENS or AG 7 or CCC 846.This is the new rational approach in the interpretation of Vatican Council II.
So Cardinal Baldasarre and all the employees of the Rome Vicarte they will be saying like me and the Missionaries of Charity Contemplative priests that outside the Church there is no salvation according to Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. They will be saying like at the Jewish Left synagogue in the old ghetto of Rome, that the Catholic Church today in Vatican Council II (…More

What Should Be in a Nuclear Survival Kit - Ask a Prepper

A nuclear survival kit is not just a bigger version of your bug-out bag. It has to answer three problems a standard disaster kit was never built for: invisible radiation you can’t see, taste, or smell, a fallout period that can force you to stay sealed indoors for days or weeks instead of hours, and the very real chance that emergency services, hospitals, and supply chains will be overwhelmed or unreachable. Get the contents wrong and you’re improvising during the most dangerous window of the entire event. This guide breaks down exactly what belongs in a nuclear survival kit, why each item matters, and how much of it you actually need. We’ll cover detection tools, thyroid protection, shelter and decontamination supplies, water and food math for a two-week lockdown, and the documents and communication gear people forget until it’s too late. Why a Nuclear Survival Kit Is Different From a Standard Kit Most emergency kits are built around the 72-hour rule: enough water, food, and light to …

Jeremiah 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13
“I am the source of living waters.”
Let us return to the joy of the child.
Matthew 13:10-17
The disciples approached him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
Jesus replied, “This is why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.”
People listen and understand in parables.

How did Jesus Carry The Cross? In Detail - Blessed Anna Katharina Emmerick's Vision
catholicaudiobooks
Chapter XXX of "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" by Anne Catherine Emmerich details the events surrounding Jesus' carrying of the cross. In this chapter, Emmerich describes how Jesus, after being condemned to death, was given the heavy wooden crossbeam to carry to the place of execution. Jesus, weakened and wounded from the earlier scourging, struggled under the weight of the cross. The soldiers accompanying him, driven by a sense of duty and impatience, prodded and mistreated him along the way. Emmerich vividly depicts the sorrow and suffering of Jesus, and how He bore the cross with great humility and resignation. She also narrates the encounter between Jesus and His Blessed Mother, Mary, on the Via Dolorosa, as they exchanged a profound and heart-rending gaze of love, compassion, and sorrow. The chapter captures the physical and emotional agony of Jesus as He carried …More

German Dioceses Rule Out Expansion of the Roman Rite

Several German Catholic dioceses have told De.CatholicNewsAgency.com on July 21 that they have no plans to expand the celebration of the Mass in the Roman rite.
The dioceses that replied included the three "conservative" German dioceses Passau, Regensburg, and Cologne and the pro-homosexual Archdiocese of Hamburg.
Passau and Cologne offered only brief responses, confirming that no expansion of the Traditional Latin Mass is currently planned.
Regensburg Diocese, where the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) operates a seminary, provided a more detailed explanation of its position: "A sufficient number of opportunities to celebrate Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite is an important pastoral response to the sometimes aggressive missionary activity of the Society of St. Pius X and its supporters," diocesan spokesman Stefan Groß said.
He added that the FSSPX continues to refuse full communion with the Pope, particularly regarding its understanding of religious freedom …More

1305. Pathogen Plantations – World Scam

07/21/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The U.S. military was developing the genetic backstory of pandemic coronaviruses nearly a decade before the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. That is what Jon Fleetwood claims and demonstrates in his article on jonfleetwood.substack.com: DARPA’s 2010 Operation ‘PROPHECY’ Funded Ralph Baric’s UNC Network to Generate the Genetic Blueprint of Future Pandemic Coronaviruses. Jon Fleetwood is an investigative journalist and independent analyst who specializes in analyzing complex scientific, regulatory, and political documents, with a particular focus on identifying weaknesses in the evidence, internal contradictions, and potential consequences. The documents presented in the article show that military projects to develop viral bioweapons are based on the assumption—which has never been proven by research—that what we call viruses cause diseases such as the flu, measles, chickenpox, the common cold, rubella, and mumps. For this very reason, fortunately, they …

Porn Moguls Arrested for 59 Charges

Pornographers-influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate - former webcam entrepreneurs turned pornographers-influencers – were arrested in Miami on July 18 following a provisional extradition request from the United Kingdom.
The brothers also remain under criminal investigation in Romania. Allegations include human trafficking, rape, money laundering, and witness tampering.
They face a total of 59 charges authorized by the UK's Crown Prosecution Service.
They are British-American but have lived in Romania for years. Romanian prosecutors lifted the brothers' travel restrictions in February 2025, allowing them to leave the country. Later that month, they traveled to Florida by private jet.
In March, Andrew Tate's then-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, filed a civil lawsuit alleging that he assaulted her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, accusing him of choking her nearly to unconsciousness, beating her, and threatening to kill her. Tate has denied the allegations.
The Tates were in Miami to …More

St. Mary Magdalene

Jesus had a different attitude towards women than the culture of his day. Back then, women had no social status, and they were often assigned inferior roles. But the women with Jesus were happy to serve quietly and they gave generously out of their resources. A key woman in that group was St. Mary Magdalene, mentioned a dozen times in the Gospels, which is more than most apostles. Who was she, and how did The Da Vinci Code get the facts so wrong? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then join Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, as he presents the third episode in our series, “Marian Route to USA 250: One Nation Under God’s Mercy,” this time visiting the place where Catholic America first touched our shores. Here, missionaries brought the cross, the Mass, and devotion to Our Lady, planting seeds of faith that would shape the spiritual story of this land. You might also like...

Catholic Sisters challenge New York state assisted suicide law.

Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Madeleine Long reported for the Free Press on July 17, 2026that several orders of Catholic Sisters and Catholic healthcare are challenging the New York assisted suicide law because the law requires them to inform their patients that they can have assisted suicide. The law also conflicts with the federal law that prohibits federal funding from being used for assisted suicide. New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the assisted suicide bill into law in February and the law will come into force on August 5, 2026. Long reported for the Free Press that: A coalition of Catholic healthcare providers filed suit in federal court in Albany on Friday, arguing that New York’s new assisted dying law would force them to choose between their faith and their ability to provide care for the sick, the elderly, and the dying.The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of New York, names 13 plaintiffs, including multiple congregations of nuns such as the …

LOOK: Statue of Our Lady unharmed after church roof caved in during earthquake - LifeSite

Tue Jul 21, 2026 - 3:37 pm EDTTue Jul 21, 2026 - 4:28 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A statue of the Virgin Mary survived a devastating 5.1 magnitude earthquake unscathed in Peru despite the church’s roof, part of its facade, and its viceregal altars collapsing. Built in the 16th century, Santiago Apóstol Parish church in the Chupaca province underwent heavy damage on the night of July 18. “A large part of the church nave has collapsed. You can see huge cracks everywhere and roof tiles that have come loose. The high altar collapsed into the rubble. The statue of the Virgin remains intact,” Father Henry Díaz said. In an interview with Rotafono, Díaz noted that the church’s “tower is leaning and must be demolished” and lamented that this “architectural gem” had been damaged shortly before the region’s celebration of its patron saint, Saint James the Apostle. The quake left at least 6 people dead, more than 32 injured, and 50 homes destroyed, according to RPP (Radio Programas del Perú). Share …
