Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, 97, in a text published by Sandro Magister on September 8, writes about “synodality.” Main points: - According to the classical Catholic understanding, a synod is a meeting of bishops for the purpose of exercising jointly their teaching and pastoral ministry. - In 1965, Paul VI created the so-called Synod of Bishops as a consultative body of the pope. - Recently established bodies whose members include, in addition to bishops, priests and lay faithful of both sexes cannot properly be called synods. - Competent laypeople can, of course, be entrusted with a consultative role. But wherever such collaboration is practiced, one should carefully avoid any misleading use of the terms “synod,” “synodality,” and the like, and instead find a term that adequately expresses the actual situation. - The establishment of such bodies arises from an effort to adopt secular structures and democratic procedures within the life of the Church. - What is being proposed within the …More
Why Did Trump Order Up 660 Million Pounds of Mystery Meat? nytimes.com/2026/09/07/opinion/trump-meat-import.… Sept. 7, 2026 CBy Eric Schlosser Eric Schlosser is the author of “Fast Food Nation.” Leer en español If you buy a T-shirt at Gap, it will have a label that tells you where it was made. That’s federal law. The same is true for automobiles, appliances, television sets, every fresh or frozen fruit and vegetable sold at the supermarket. Beef and pork are notable exceptions to these laws. And that may help to explain why President Trump signed a proclamation last month that will allow the duty-free importation of about 660 million pounds of inexpensive beef. If American consumers knew where that beef was coming from, they might not want to eat it. The cuts of meat covered by Mr. Trump’s proclamation aren’t fresh sirloins, rib-eyes and filets. They’re lean beef trimmings that will be added to fattier American cuts to make ground beef. They’re small chunks of frozen meat that could …More
Archbishop Renzo Pegoraro, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, claims that Catholics could morally assent to a law permitting assisted suicide in Italy. Speaking to the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire.it on September 6, he said: “From the Catholic side, it is a matter of assessing whether we will be faced with an ‘imperfect law’, to which it would nevertheless be moral to give one’s assent, in view of the fact that more permissive and libertarian laws could otherwise quickly be approved in Parliament, laws far more harmful to the dignity of the sick person and the value of life.” Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Pegoraro as President of the Pontifical Academy for Life on May 27, 2025. For a decade, he had already drawn attention for serious deviations from Catholic doctrine on matters of life, including statements that contraception might be morally permissible under certain circumstances. On March 25, 2026, Leo XIV appointed Pegoraro a titular bishop and gave him the personal …More
The Second Pastoral Synod of the Archdiocese of Kraków degenerates into a 'rainbow event'. It opened in March 2026 under the leadership of Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, and the first 56-page report was produced on 19 June. A Synodal Day of Recollection has been scheduled for 10 October 2026, and the next plenary session is planned for 12–13 February 2027. Cardinal Ryś was already known for his pro-homosexual tendencies when Leo XIV promoted him Archbishop of Kraków in November 2025. At the plenary session of the Kraków Synod in June 2026, Cardinal Ryś addressed the issue of homosexuality directly: 'Sexual orientation does not exclude anyone from the Church.' The 56-page synodal report summarises proposals emerging from local consultations. On page 34, under the heading 'Radical change of language towards LGBT+', the report calls for 'safe pastoral havens'. It demands an end to portraying practicing homosexuals as a threat and calls for 'open, honest dialogue with contemporary knowledge about …More
@Boanerges Boanerges Why blame Leo? These Priests already promote it. They are not forced to do a thing they don't want to do. It's up to each Priest if they want to remain faithful to the True Faith. Or walk the road to perdition. The SSPX rather be excommunicated than to be disloyal to GOD. Or promote sin. All the Priests, Bishops, Cardinals etc all have the same choice. Either you love GOD and wish to obey Him. Or you don't. And our job is to pray for their souls. To pray they will wake up before it's too late.

The Greek-Orthodox Metropolis (Diocese) of Kaisariani, Vyronas and Ymittos, which covers three suburbs of Athens, announced that an icon of Our Lady is "weeping" in Vyronas. The phenomenon began on September 8, the Nativity of Mary, during a liturgy. It repeated itself the following days and attracted many people. The diocese interprets this as a “signs from God for the faithful.” #newsGxtcpuuxfr

September 8 - The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin - Blessed Anna Katharina Emmerick EVE OF MARY'S BIRTH What gladness throughout all nature! Birds are singing, lambs and kids are gamboling, and swarms of doves are fluttering with joy around the spot upon which once stood Anne's abode. I see only a wilderness there at the present day. But I had a vision of pilgrims in the far-off times who, girded and with long staves in their hands, wended their way through the country to Mount Carmel. On their head they wore a covering wound around like a turban. They too participated in the joy of nature. And when in their astonishment they asked the hermits that dwelt in the neighborhood the cause of this remarkable exultation, they received for answer, that such manifestations of gladness were customary. They were always observed upon the eve of the anniversary of Mary's birth around that spot where once stood Anne's house. The hermits told them of a holy man of the early times who had been the first …More
[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD: born: Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/died: Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (aged 52-53); Cardinal, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, Seraphic Doctor, Teacher of the Faith, Writer, Philosopher] CHAPTER IV -- THE NAME OF THE BLESSED MARY IS FREE FROM ALL VICE AND RESPLENDENT WITH EVERY VIRTUE Hail Mary. This most sweet and affectionate name, so full of grace and so noble, so glorious and so worthy, excellently befits Our Lady. For most fittingly is so loving a virgin named Mary. For she is Mary, in whom there is no vice, and who is glorious with every virtue. She is Mary, who was entirely immune from the seven capital sins. She was most humble in opposition to pride; most loving by charity in opposition to envy; most meek against anger by her gentleness; indefatigable by her diligence against sloth; Mary by her poverty was detached against avarice; against gluttony she was most sober by her temperance; against lust she was most chaste by her virginity …More

1 Corinthians 7:25-31 “The world in its present form is passing away.” There is more. Let us welcome the joy of the child within us so that we may immediately find ourselves in the kingdom of God’s love. Luke 6:20-26 Jesus proclaims the Beatitudes. The most important word in the Beatitudes is “blessed.” Let us welcome this happiness within us, and the mountains will be leveled. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Posted just 8 hours ago. After 4 years of Sanctions take a look around a typical Russian supermarket in Moscow, Russia. How does a typical Russian supermarket look? What are the prices & stock really like now? If you are wondering why there are so many American products in Russia, that's because Russia buys them from other countries after buying them from us. But I see a lot of bad products being sold. Which Russia needs to look into. The Picture below he is explaining there are check out's going into the 70's!!! Did you ever see so much food? It's amazing. And Russia would be more than happy to share their wealth of food with the rest of the world as they are doing to many countries. Mostly giving it away to the poorer countries. But the West rather see their own people suffer and starve and die. Russia is always willing to do fair trading. Though they sell everything including their oil at very low prices. Not wanting to cheat anyone and trying to make everyone happy. Youtube channel …More
The West and US said there is also no oil in Russia. But Larry Johnson and The Judge along with Scott Ritter among others are actually in Russia some just left. And they say, there is no problem. In some areas it's low., but NOT out. Watched a few video's of Americans and people from other countries who actually show the gas stations and how there is no problem. Besides, Russia now has more oil they are getting from the Arctic.
