Two seriously ill men shared a hospital room.
One bed was beside the window. The other was near the door.
One day, the man by the door asked, “What can you see outside?”
The man by the window brightened.
“Oh, all kinds of things. There’s a beautiful sky, clouds shaped like animals, a lake, and a line of trees in the distance.”
From then on, every day, the man by the window described what was happening outside.
He talked about a small boat crossing the lake, fishermen returning with a huge catch, children playing near the water, and young couples walking hand in hand as though no one else in the world existed.
The man by the door listened.
But instead of feeling grateful for the stories, he slowly became bitter.
It isn’t fair, he thought. Why does he get the bed by the window while all I can see is a door with peeling paint? Why does he get to watch life outside while I’m stuck looking at this room?
One night, the man by the window began coughing violently.
He struggled to breathe and …More

German Church Cancels November Synodal Conference as Vatican Delays Approval: The first “Synodal Conference” of the Church in Germany, scheduled to take place in Stuttgart on November 6–7, has been postponed, Domradio reported on August 28. The main reason is that the statutes are still awaiting the necessary recognition from the Vatican. Hotel rooms that had been reserved for the November meeting have been cancelled. The president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Heiner Wilmer of Hildesheim, had already said in May that, given the ongoing review by several Vatican dicasteries, he no longer expected the Synodal Conference to begin in November.

Gute Nachrichten: Synodalkonferenz der deutschen Kirche für November abgesagt.

Stirbt der Synodale Weg einen stillen Tod?

Vor acht Jahren wurde die Kirche in Deutschland von Grund auf erschüttert. Die sogenannte MHG-Studie, die im Herbst 2018 veröffentlicht wurde, hat auf einen Schlag das massenhafte Problem sexualisierter Gewalt in der Kirche in die Öffentlichkeit gebracht. Sofort war der Wunsch da: Es muss sich etwas ändern. Die Deutsche Bischofskonferenz und das Zentralkomitee der deutschen Katholiken beschlossen damals einen gemeinsamen Schritt, der bis heute hohe Wellen schlägt – nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch im Vatikan. Auf dem “Synodalen Weg” sollte der Grundstein für ein neues Miteinander in der Kirche gelegt werden. Bischöfe und Laien sollten in Zukunft gemeinsam über ihre Kirche entscheiden. Dann kamen Corona, Einsprüche aus Rom sowie interne Streitigkeiten, die den Prozess immer weiter in die Länge zogen. Im November 2025 dann der letzte große Schritt: Die Satzung der sogenannten “Synodalkonferenz” wurde final verabschiedet und in Folge von DBK und ZdK zugestimmt. Ende März wurde sie …

The Impeded Papacy
The Katechon, the Obstacle to the Legitimate Holder, and the Eclipse of the Petrine Function
Introduction — A question more precise than that of the “pope in contradiction with the Papacy”
The present crisis compels us to ask a question that goes beyond the simple alternative between “a legitimate but bad pope” and “an empty see.”
The problem can be formulated as follows:
What if the Papacy, as a perpetual divine institution, remained intact, while its legitimate occupation were prevented by a power that had seized the visible structures of the Church and presented itself to the world as the Church itself? An ecclesiological hypothesis
This hypothesis makes it possible to understand the contemporary paradox differently.
On the one hand, Catholicism teaches that the Church is a visible, hierarchical society, founded by Our Lord and visibly governed by a head who holds the place of Peter. Pius XII recalled in 1943 that Christ willed a visible Church and that, after His …More

On August 29, Pope Leo XIV became the first Pope to take part by boat in the procession for the Feast of Our Lady of the Lake in Castel Gandolfo. After celebrating the Eucharist at the Church of Maria Santissima del Lago, Leo XIV boarded the Falco together with the statue of Our Lady of the Lake and crossed Lake Albano in a 25-minute procession, accompanied by canoes and other boats. The tradition dates back to 1954 and was established to bring together the local community and those who lived and worked around the lake.

Leone XIV è stato il primo Papa a partecipare in barca alla processione della Madonna del Lago

Nell’omelia a Castel Gandolfo ha parlato dell’amore cristiano davanti alla violenza e alle ingiustizie, dicendo che «l’odio e la violenza non portano nulla di buono» e richiamando il bisogno di pace tra le persone e tra le nazioni. CASTEL GANDOLFO - Paolo VI aveva voluto quella chiesa e l’aveva consacrata. Giovanni Paolo II vi era tornato pochi anni dopo. Nessuno dei due, però, aveva percorso sull’acqua la processione della Madonna del Lago. Lo ha fatto per la prima volta Leone XIV questa sera, partecipando alla festa mariana celebrata sulla riva del Lago Albano, a Castel Gandolfo. Il Papa ha lasciato nel pomeriggio il Vaticano in automobile e ha raggiunto la piccola chiesa di Maria Santissima del Lago, che appartiene alla parrocchia pontificia di San Tommaso da Villanova. Alle 18 ha presieduto la Santa Messa e, terminata la celebrazione, si è unito alla processione con il simulacro della Madonna. La statua è stata quindi imbarcata insieme al Pontefice sul battello “Falco”, che ha …

Catholic Priest Presides Buddhist Memorial in Church

Worse than Germany: A memorial ceremony for Buddhist woman Marta Pezzati, 59, was held on August 20 in the Catholic Church of San Martino in Rebbio, Como, Italy.
Pezzati was president of the volunteer association Como Accoglie and was well known locally for her work assisting migrants and refugees.
The ceremony was hosted by the parish priest Giusto Della Valle, who had worked with Pezzati on initiatives involving migrants.
Two Buddhist monks participated in the ceremony.
One of the monks later told LaNuovaBq.it that the event was “not a Mass and not even a funeral, but a remembrance of Marta's generosity.” He said there had been no Catholic liturgy or Catholic prayer.
Priest: “She Found God in Budddha”
Video recordings show Father Della Valle and another Catholic priest present wearing an alb and stole.
During the ceremony, the two Buddhist monks chanted a Buddhist mantra from the ambo.
Father Della Valle also spoke about Pezzati's Buddhist faith.
He described her as a “woman of …More

Why Saint John the Baptist Is a Model for Those Who Have the Courage to Say No

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
There is a universal crisis inside society today that seeks to overturn all things Christian. Catholic thinker Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira called this universal crisis the Revolution - with a capital R. He held that the two driving forces of this Revolution are the vices of pride and sensuality.
The following commentaries show how Saint John the Baptists is a model for all those who wish to oppose this Revolution today, especially in fighting its two central vices.
Leveling the mountains of pride and filling the valleys of impurity, Saint John the Baptist is a model of those who say no to the present Revolution against Christianity.
*

Saint John the Baptist said to Herod back then that which no one today dares to say to the Revolution now: It is not lawful for you to do what you are doing. You cannot do it.
He told Herod to his face: it is not lawful for you to take your brother’s wife as a wife. Thus, Herod lived in adultery with this woman. By denouncing him …More

Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop Who Offered to Pachamama

Today, Leo XIV appointed Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera O.S.A., 52, of Cuzco, Peru, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of the same Archdiocese. He will thus be the successor to Archbishop Richard Daniel Alarcón Urrutia, 74.
Just two weeks ago, the new Archbishop offered to the idol Pachamama.
Leo XIV Personally Formed Estrada
Born in Cotabambas in 1973, Monsignor Estrada joined the Augustinians and was ordained a priest in 2005. Pope Francis appointed Estrada auxiliary bishop of Cuzco in January 2021.
In May 2025, Bishop Estrada told VaticanNews.va, that Leo XIV was already his professor, his spiritual director within the Augustinians, and then his Prior General. Finally they served together within the Peruvian episcopate.
Bishop Prevost was a concelebrant at the priestly ordination of Estrada and his episcopal co-consecrator.
Estrada Participated in Pachamama Ritual
On August 13-14, 2026, Bishop Estrada helped inaugurate a conference in Cuzco.
The opening ceremony included a …More

Can You Still Trust the Catholic Church?

Video >> youtube.com/watch?v=5JhDztHlzL8
Father Thomas Joseph White is a Dominican priest, theologian, and rector of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) in Rome. One of the leading Catholic theologians of his generation, his work focuses on metaphysics, Christology, ecclesiology, Thomism, and the relationship between faith and reason. He is the author of numerous books, including The Light of Christ: An Introduction to Catholicism.
In this conversation, he explores the theological meaning of the Vatican, the papacy, and the Catholic Church's claim to teach with authority in matters of faith and morals. He discusses the role of the Pope, the nature of Catholic doctrine, the relationship between conscience and truth, and how Catholics understand the development and transmission of Christian teaching through history.

Kind of ironic don't ya think. These minerals are foundational inputs for electric vehicles, advanced electronics & artificial intelligence infrastructure. Smdh

Leo XIV Accepts Secularised Mitre as Gift: Rev. Tom McCarthy, a Chicago priest and fellow Augustinian, gave Leo XIV a Chicago White Sox “Pope Hat” at the Vatican. The mitre-shaped hat was originally produced en masse by the Chicago White Sox baseball team as a giveaway for their August 11 game. Leo XIV has been a White Sox fan since childhood and attended Game 1 of the 2005 World Series.

Leo’s newest mitre is a White Sox ‘Pope Hat’

Prevost is the 'pope' of the Chicago White Sox, but NOT of the Catholic Church of Christ as traditionally handed down, because he was unlawfully installed by Bergoglio to complete Bergoglio's work of destruction.

Trump claims he doubled US oil reserves with Venezuela deal

Washington says it has secured majority control of over 65 billion barrels at no cost to US taxpayers US President Donald Trump has announced what he called the “biggest oil deal in world history,” claiming an agreement with Venezuela has given Washington majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of proven crude reserves. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had worked with Venezuelan interim leader Delcy Rodriguez and private businesses to secure “majority US control” of the reserves “at no cost to the American Taxpayer,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday. “The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” the US president declared. Trump claimed the transaction “MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves,” would substantially increase supplies and eventually lower gasoline prices.
