– Folha de S. Paulo, August 7, 1968 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira “Aggiornamento” and “encounter with history” are expressions we run into all the time, but whose concept remains obscure more often than not. However, one core idea is always clear within this obscurity: being “up to date.” A self-respecting “up-to-date” person thinks they know present-day reality and are in sync with it. The “encounter with history” is an encounter with the present, particularly what the present offers that is different and contradictory to the past. For the fanatics of “aggiornamento” and “encounter with history,” the word “tradition” gets a bad rap. For conscious or unconscious evolutionists, nature has no fixed and immutable elements, nor does the natural order rest on perennial principles. The present’s position concerning the past is not one of dynamic and improving continuity, but complete negation, all-encompassing rupture, and integral and renewing demolition. So, it is understandable that for …More

Are there no true artists in the Church anymore? Must we be inundated always and forever with these garbage images that hold not a microcosm of the Church’s beauty and beliefs, nor the regal majesty of the Papal Office?
1 Corinthians 5:13 God will judge those outside the church. So you must put that sinful person out of your church. Our Lady of Fatima: “More souls go to Hell because of the sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” Judgment on False Teachers Jude 7 just as Sodom and Gomor′rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister[a] who is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one.
Seriously. Leo found time to meet with the Chinese Communists who picked their own bishops. He met with James Martin. He met with decorators for the apostolic palace. But couldn’t find time to meet with the SSPX. That is a fact JCS 77 (@musicthinker13) on X
A fire broke out at the base of the 676-year-old Gothic Basilica of Saint Michael in Bordeaux’s historic Saint-Michel quarter. The blaze started in makeshift tents used by homeless migrants on the church grounds.
The EU in 2027 will spend $0.8 trillion on education and $1.26 trillion on health, while Net Zero will cost $3.3 trillion In his ARC 2026 keynote, Bjorn Lomborg explained the ways in which current climate policies are driving up energy prices and reducing the availability of energy, costing us huge amounts of money while having little to no impact on tackling climate change. He calls for a change in mindset, to pursue the energy abundance that leads to economic growth and technological innovation — which will ultimately help us solve the problem of climate change.
Today, the General Secretariat of the Synod issued the preparatory framework for the October 7–14 meeting on the implementation of Amoris Laetitia between Pope Leo XIV and the presidents of the bishops' conferences. The gathering marks the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia. The format is described as "synodal," involving a process of listening, prayer, and discernment. The aim is "to discern the direction in which the Holy Spirit is leading us today." The five discussion themes are: • Families today: reality, beauty and challenges • Young people and the discovery of the vocation to marriage (including cohabiting couples) • Married life: the first years of marriage—a decisive time • In the difficulties of life: accompanying and supporting • Christian families as subjects of the Church's mission The fourth theme speaks of “failure” and the “gap between the ideal and reality.” It says those who “have experienced separation and divorce” should feel listened to, involved, and co-responsible …More
Unlocking Catholic Social Teaching: Dr. Martinez Introduces the Ave Maria Economics Course "God did not call us from the eyebrows down—He wants us to use our brains." Dr. Gabriel Martinez joins us to shatter the myth of the 'divided life' in business and economics. Every financial, corporate, or political decision we make isn't just a technical choice—it's a deeply human, moral decision. Dr. Gabriel Martinez, economics professor at Ave Maria University, steps into the living room to introduce a groundbreaking, completely free online resource: the Ave Maria Economics Course, hosted by The Pursuit of Wisdom. Condensing three full semesters of dense academic material into seven clear, highly accessible lectures, Dr. Martinez bridges the gap between modern market principles and the foundational pillars of Catholic Social Teaching. He unpacks why popular political ideologies often distort Church teaching by overemphasizing one truth (like human dignity or solidarity) while completely abandoning …More
Jo Conrad: Eisenhower and the aliens (Video) (ENGLISH LANGUAGE) During a UFO-Kongreß in Germany, Jo Conrad had the opportunity to talk to the Great Grand daughter of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had been contacted by alien beinigs, about misinformation about alien treaties, the Whitehats, breakaway civilisations, Antarctica and her recruitment for a Mars-mission. We are the ones who have to bring up the things that are withheld from us, and overcome enslavement.

Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis wrote on July 2 about the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): "In the ten years that I have led this local Church, I have met many sincere people who worship regularly or occasionally at the chapels of the SSPX within the territory of our Archdiocese. I have been impressed by the strength of their families and their commitment to traditional Catholic values." He acknowledges that the FSSPX bishops’ excommunication will affect them in a particular way and hopes they will not follow them “in separating themselves from Pope Leo XIV.” Monsignor Hebda also noted that the Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated at six locations in the Archdiocese, adding: “I am confident that those who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass could find a home here.” #newsEtakruhtwp
This homosexual mafia hates and persecutes faithful Catholic priests, while covering for and promoting one another. In Argentina, the reprobate heresiarch Jorge Bergoglio also persecuted and silenced the faithful priests who opposed his rebellion against God and the Church. Father Blanco, for instance, was silenced by Bergoglio for denouncing depraved homosexual priests in Argentina.
The essential difference between these two groups lies not in their attachment to the traditional Mass, but in their public judgment on the causes of the crisis. Canonically recognized traditional communities continue, by virtue of their statutes, to institutionally accept the Second Vatican Council and the liturgical reforms. They may criticize certain excesses or interpretations, but they do not contest the principles or the legitimacy of the reforms. The SSPX, on the contrary, considers that several conciliar teachings, particularly on religious freedom, ecumenism and collegiality, as well as the liturgical reform itself, constitute deep causes of the crisis and must therefore be subjected to doctrinal criticism.
On 5 July, the animal rights organisation PETA staged a blasphemous demonstration in Pamplona. The protest featured a man portraying Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns, surrounded by activists in bikinis covered in red paint, to oppose bullfighting and urge the Catholic Church to condemn the practice.
La nouvelle provocation de PETA qui offense tous les chrétiens: À la veille de l'ouverture des fêtes de San Fermín, l'organisation animaliste PETA a organisé à Pampelune une mise en scène représentant le Christ entouré de militants recouverts de peinture rouge afin d'exiger que l'Église condamne la corrida
Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra An Israeli flag was raised and elevated to the same level as the American flag at the Great American Fair for the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. Israel has nothing to do with the founding of America.
