St. Louis IX, King. If God sends you suffering, receive it with humility, think that you have deserved it, and that He sends it for your salvation. If everything succeeds for you, do not then give yourself over to pride or to other misdeeds; for you would be abusing God’s benefits in order to offend Him. — St. Louis IX, King Saint Louis IX ruled France from 1226-1270 and is one of the most revered Catholic monarchs — a model of Christian kingship, justice, and piety. He went on two Crusades, promoted justice and charity in his realm, and was canonized in 1297. Saint Louis IX is shown crowned and robed in blue with fleur-de-lis (the symbol of French royalty) holding the Crown of Thorns on a red cushion, with rays of light emanating from it. St. Louis IX acquired the relic of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople and built the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house it. (Late 19th century Dutch holy card)

A Malicious Chapter in the History of American Justice June 21, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET nytimes.com/…chicago-broadwater-six-misconduct-mi… By David French Opinion Columnist An unusual tweet caught my eye last week. It was from Josh Gerstein, Politico’s senior legal affairs reporter, and it said this: “NEW: Trump admin takes rare step to quell controversy over prosecutorial misconduct in dropped criminal case against Chicago-area anti-ICE protesters. Feds won’t fight defense demand to pay bill for activists’ legal fees.” Here’s why it’s so notable. In our legal system, prosecutors rarely pay a criminal defendant’s legal fees, even when the government loses its case. Defendants tend to be reimbursed only when they can prove serious prosecutorial misconduct. It’s even rarer for prosecutors to agree to pay those fees. Experienced lawyers will read that tweet and know a single, simple truth. Something very bad went down in Illinois. Why, you might wonder, would I write about a criminal …More
Bishop Richard Williamson (+ January 2025) allegedly confirmed to Sean Johnson that he had conditionally consecrated a Archbishop Carlo Viganò, 85, a bishop in 2023. Johnson published a 2023 email from Williamson on Seraphim54.substack.com on June 19. Johnson is a former seminarian of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) and father of nine children who now attends Mass at the US-based Congregation of Saint Pius V (CSPV), a splinter group from the FSSPX. Johnson's publication is consistent with information previously received by Gloria.tv from independent ecclesiastical sources. Viganò was consecrated a bishop by Pope John Paul II in 1992. Since 2023, a persistent rumour about the conditional [second] consecration of Viganò has circulated. Johnson’s article claims that he emailed Viganò twice in November and December 2023 asking about those rumours but didn’t receive a reply. Then, Johnson contacted Williamson. The central statement attributed to Bishop Williamson regarding …More
God bless Bishop Williamson. Perhaps Vigano was "Conditionally Confirmed" by Williamson but that doesn't take away from the fact that Vigano is playing all sides, especially "holy Russia's." I do not doubt the validity of Williamson's act but whether Vigano was in a state to be able to receive it.
Satan's pride compelled him to reveal his hand in the destruction of Holy Russia from the start of the revolution. In 1905 when Servant of God Catherine de Hueck Doherty (Ekaterina Fyodorovna Kolyschkine de Hueck Doherty / Founder of Poustinia Movement: Encountering God in Silence, Solitude and Prayer) was a nine year old girl living comfortably with her family in rural Russia, it was customary for pilgrims to walk long distances to pray at its many shrines. One evening a single old woman pilgrim sought shelter at the farm of Catherine's family and the family and servants eagerly gathered by kerosene lamps around a crackling fireplace to hear her tell of her pious adventures. Well into the evening, after relating many blessings received at the holy shrines, the woman told of passing through a thick forest with a growing sense of an evil presence that even set the forest creatures on edge. Around a bend another road joined hers and a single man walking in her direction joined her. Although …More
Even Israel's own former Chief of Staff is publicly DONE with Netanyahu. In this explosive TV moment, Benny Gantz loses his temper and doesn't hold back: "Bibi needs to go home! Don't interrupt me! He is responsible for what happened here, he needs to go home, but that alone is not enough."
A great short story ~ Alphonse de Ratisbonne, a wealthy young Strasburg Jew was asked by a Catholic friend to accept and wear a Miraculous Medal. ~ In spite of his great aversion for everything Christian, Ratisbonne, to please his friend, not only promised to wear the Medal, but also to recite the "Memorare," although he added, "A Jew I was born and a Jew I shall die." ~ Four days later, while visiting a church in Rome, Our Lady appeared to him in all the glory and brilliancy of her Immaculate Purity. "Just as she is represented on the Medal;" he later affirmed, I cannot express what I saw of mercy and liberality in Mary's hands - the celestial sweetness and riches flowing in torrents and inundating the souls she protects." ~ From that moment he was a perfect convert. - He asked for baptism, studied for the priesthood, and spent the remainder of his life in works of piety and charity. ~ "She did not speak to me, but I understood all!" ~ (Alphonse de Ratisbonne, Jan. 20, 1842)
US Bishop Abolishes Another Mass in Roman Rite: Bishop William F. Medley of Owensboro, Kentucky, has ordered Rev. David Kennedy to stop celebrating according to the Roman Missal after June 30. He will only permit the Novus Ordo celebrated in Latin and ad orientem instead. Bishop Medley explains he cannot certify - as Vatican instructions required - that the parish has taken steps to move the faithful toward the Novus Ordo. He delayed action to see if Leo XIV would reconsider Traditionis Custodes but proceeded after the Cardinals' January Consistory declined to revisit the document.

The Diocese of Arlington, in Northern Virginia, has announced the creation of a new apostolate entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP), Bishop Michael Burbidge announced on June 19. Father Jonathan Romanoski FSSP and Father John Audino FSSP have been appointed to the Chaplaincy. Following the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes in 2021, the Diocese of Arlington experienced a unprecedented eradication of Masses in the Roman rite. With 21 locations, Arlington Diocese was one of the strongest for the Roman Rite in the United States. In 2022, the Diocese of Arlington reduced the number of "permitted" Mass locations from 21 to 8. Of those eight locations, only three - Saint Rita in Alexandria, Saint John the Beloved in McLean, and Saint Anthony of Padua Mission in Falls Church - received Vatican permission to continue Masses in parish churches. The remaining five communities were relocated to non-parish churches. #newsYopiywpnrj

"This is one of the most important documentaries ever produced. It may be difficult and painful for some to admit that EWTN has been a deception, but people need to finally get out of the Vatican II sect. One of the most shocking moments in this video for me was the behavior of Stan Fortuna at his own mother's funeral." youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=6k2sjoMNxHo

The Revival of the Islamic Caliphate. For 1,300 years Islam was simple, the Islamic caliphate conquering other countries by violent offensive Jihad, and expanding their lands towards world domination. Today Muslims are in the process to bring back the Islamic caliphate, by empowering the Islamic Ummah and weakening the west from within.
The only war I can see coming with Moslems is with those mass imported into Europe by anti-Christian leaders. When Europe collapses and Russia gets fed up. If she is talking about Iran, the Shiite Moslem revival is a new historical phenomenon as they were not part of the historical Moslem conquests into Europe.
On June 20, Leo XIV has appointed Rev Elímar Gerardo Carvajal Durán, 50, as Bishop of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Born in Grecia in 1976 and ordained a priest in 2003, Monsignor Carvajal Durán has served in various pastoral roles within the Diocese of Alajuela and most recently as Diocesan Vicar for Pastoral Ministry. He is a strongly synodal, CELAM-formed, Francis-era pastoral organizer. His public record shows extensive commitment to "discernment", "accompaniment", and "synodality". Strong Synodal Profile By September 2022, Rev. Carvajal had assumed a leading role in coordinating the Diocese of Alajuela's Diocesan Synodal Process. In a September 28, 2022 talk on the Youtube channel of the Diocese of Alajuela, Monsignor Carvajal uses all of the Francis’ buzzwords such as "the synodal Church", "the reality is always before the idea", “listening to the cries of people”, etc. His Language Speaks Volumes In a September 5, 2023 video, Monsignor Carvajal said that discernment and synodality …More
