04/10/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Let us start with the underlying psychological disorder. Malignant narcissism is a clinical term, not an insult. The social psychologist Erich Fromm coined the phrase in 1964 to describe Adolf Hitler, as a merger of pathological grandiosity, psychopathy, paranoia, and antisocial personality into a single character structure. The malignant narcissist is not merely vain. He is structurally incapable of genuine empathy, constitutionally immune to guilt, and driven by paranoid conviction that enemies surround him and must be destroyed. Already back in 2017, psychologist John Garnter and many other professionals were warning of Trump’s malignant narcissism. When power faces no limit, the only remaining internal check is conscience. And the psychopath has no conscience. The text above is taken from an article published on Easter Monday on commondreams.org: Trump and Netanyahu: Two Madmen Playing God. On the first day of the ceasefire between the …

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 21,1-14. Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way. Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee's sons, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We also will come with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, "Children, have you caught anything to eat?" They answered him, "No." So he said to them, "Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something." So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly …More
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 21,1-14. In jener Zeit offenbarte sich Jesus den Jüngern noch einmal, am See von Tiberias, und er offenbarte sich in folgender Weise. Simon Petrus, Thomas, genannt Didymus – Zwilling –, Natanaal aus Kana in Galiläa, die Söhne des Zebedäus und zwei andere von seinen Jüngern waren zusammen. Simon Petrus sagte zu ihnen: Ich gehe fischen. Sie sagten zu ihm: Wir kommen auch mit. Sie gingen hinaus und stiegen in das Boot. Aber in dieser Nacht fingen sie nichts. Als es schon Morgen wurde, stand Jesus am Ufer. Doch die Jünger wussten nicht, dass es Jesus war. Jesus sagte zu ihnen: Meine Kinder, habt ihr keinen Fisch zu essen? Sie antworteten ihm: Nein. Er aber sagte zu ihnen: Werft das Netz auf der rechten Seite des Bootes aus und ihr werdet etwas finden. Sie warfen das Netz aus und konnten es nicht wieder einholen, so voller Fische war es. Da sagte der Jünger, den Jesus liebte, zu Petrus: Es ist der Herr! Als Simon Petrus hörte, dass es der …More
Acts of the Apostles 4,1-12. After the crippled man had been cured, while Peter and John were still speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees confronted them, disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, since it was already evening. But many of those who heard the word came to believe and (the) number of men grew to (about) five thousand. On the next day, their leaders, elders, and scribes were assembled in Jerusalem, with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly class. They brought them into their presence and questioned them, "By what power or by what name have you done this?" Then Peter, filled with the holy Spirit, answered them, "Leaders of the people and elders: If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved, then …More
Apostelgeschichte 4,1-12. Petrus und Johannes hatten im Tempel einen Gelähmten geheilt. Während sie zum Volk redeten, traten die Priester, der Tempelhauptmann und die Sadduzäer zu ihnen. Sie waren aufgebracht, weil die Apostel das Volk lehrten und in Jesus die Auferstehung von den Toten verkündeten. Und sie legten Hand an sie und hielten sie bis zum nächsten Morgen in Haft. Es war nämlich schon Abend. Viele aber von denen, die das Wort gehört hatten, wurden gläubig; und die Zahl der Männer stieg auf etwa fünftausend. Es geschah: Am anderen Morgen versammelten sich ihre Oberen sowie die Ältesten und die Schriftgelehrten in Jerusalem, dazu Hannas, der Hohepriester, Kajaphas, Johannes, Alexander und alle, die aus dem Geschlecht der Hohepriester stammten. Sie stellten die beiden in die Mitte und forschten sie aus: Mit welcher Kraft oder in wessen Namen habt ihr das getan? In jenen Tagen sagte Petrus, erfüllt vom Heiligen Geist: Ihr Führer des Volkes und ihr Ältesten! Wenn wir heute wegen …More
