April 15, 2025 How a Nifty Government Tool Knows About Earthquakes Before You Feel Them Even a few seconds’ notice gives people time to prepare before the shaking. By Amy Graff Amy Graff is a reporter on The Times’s weather team. April 15, 2025 Millions of people across Southern California learned about a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that hit San Diego County on Monday not from their windows rattling or their picture frames clattering, but from a noisy alert on their mobile phones seconds before the shaking started. The urgent messages — advising people to “drop, cover, hold on. Protect yourself” — were created with a tool from the United States Geological Survey known as ShakeAlert. The system detects earthquakes as soon as they start happening and quickly gathers information to determine which areas are likely to experience strong shaking. ShakeAlert operates on the notion that each and every fraction of a second is precious time that people can use to react and avoid injury before …More

Die To Yourself, Discover Lasting Joy The Gospel reading emphasizes the rewards of living a life of charity and love, particularly for those baptized into Christ. This life of charity is exemplified in marriage, where spouses are called to love each other selflessly, mirroring Christ’s love for the Church. By dying to themselves and living for their spouse, married couples participate in the divine mystery of Christ’s love for the Church. True fulfillment comes from losing our lives by giving ourselves to God and others, especially our spouses. This requires dying to our selfishness and allowing Christ to live through us, loving others as He loves us. By doing so, we prepare ourselves for eternal life in heaven, where love reigns supreme.

"Church Can Never Accept Homosexual Lifestyle": Following a pro-homosexual Eucharist presided over by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy at Georgetown University on June 20, New York Father Gerald Murray noted that McElroy was attempting to “let the steamroller keep rolling down the street” in order to promote homosexual sins within the Church. “The propaganda continues,” said Father Murray. Cardinal McElroy holds the view that acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle is “inevitable.” “That will never happen; it can never happen,” Father Murray concluded.
Fr. Murray on Cardinal McElroy's decision to celebrate Mass at a recent LGBT gathering in Washington, DC: "McElroy is trying to roll this steamroller down the road further, saying that it's inevitable that the church is going to accept the homosexual lifestyle. It never will"
Fr. Murray is right. The One Catholic and Apostolic Church can never change its position on sodomy. The Synodal Church not only can but has. Now the good father has a choice: follow the Synodal path to apostacy or cling to the One Catholic and Apostolic Church. I realize the one path will be very hard while the other is easy, but the choice makes all the difference.
June 26, 2026Download PDF Story at-a-glance No industry, organization, or cause tasked with solving a problem will actually solve it, because the problem disappearing threatens their economic livelihood or political power The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to suppress affordable natural therapies that challenge it SSRIs epitomize this dynamic — massively overprescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from — yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse Kennedy announced a multiagency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives This marks the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to …
In his May 2026 lecture at the Pontifical Urbaniana University, Cardinal Víctor "Tucho" Fernández said: "Sometimes it takes a madman, desperately in love with his land and his people, capable of separating the Gospel from certain cultural husks that have become attached to it but are not an essential part of its message, and of rereading it in the light of what his people are living today." Tucho added: "Ultimately, it is the Gospel, written within an ancient culture, that now acquires another 'flesh' in popular rites, venerated images, aphorisms and customs, reflections, ways of living the faith, and in music." On 25 June, Carlos Daniel Lasa wrote on ElWanderer.com that Tucho's contextual theology displaces Revelation and makes the lived experience of each people the decisive point for theology. Tucho relativises immutable doctrine and reduces theology to historical interpretation. Lasa's central thesis is even more far-reaching: Pope Francis sought to "refound" the Church, appointed …More
The Apostolic faith speaks to the eternal essence of God and the unchanging struggle of humans which is resolved by the timeless sacrifice on Calvary. Tucho claims that what he doesn't like in the Apostolic faith are cultural accretions. He is wrong. Lace, the mitre, and even his red zucchetto are cultural accretions. The seven deadly sins and sins which cry out to Heaven for vengeance are as fundamental to salvation as DNA is to life. This may be painful for Tucho. My heart goes out to him. But salvation comes from taking up your cross and requires sacrifice of your own preferences for the sake of Christ.
June 27 - Saint Ladislas - King of Hungary - (1041-1095) cybrotius St. Ladislas was the first son of Bela, the king of Hungary. He was compelled to ascend the throne in 1080. His first act was restoring St. Stephen's laws, which protected rights to private property. St. Ladislas' life in the palace was somewhat austere. Although frugal and self-disciplined, he was liberal with the Church and the poor. Vanity and idle amusements had no share in his time. He sought the Lord in his duties, joining his heart to God while working. Besides the strict and impartial administration of justice, St. Ladislas was merciful to his enemies. He was also vigorous in the defense of his country and the Church. He drove the Huns out of his territories and vanquished invading Turkic armies. He passed away on July 30, 1095, while preparing to reinforce Catholic leaders in present-day Czech Republic. Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler, Benziger Bros. ed.

Truth Without Charity Destroys Christian Witness The Gospel reading warns against the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, who preached well but lacked charity and used their knowledge to condemn others. True faith requires balancing truth with charity, avoiding judgment, and fearing only God, who holds the power of eternal life. We should be ready to die for our faith, focusing on loving and serving God, rather than fearing earthly threats. Fr.

The fact that Tucho and Prevost do not laicize convicted pedophile priests demonstrates that neither of them possesses the legitimate authority to laicize any Catholic priest.

Kardinaal Müller hoopt dat er veel gelovigen van de Pius X broederschap, na de excommunicatie van de Pius X broederschap naar aanleiding van het wijden van vier nieuwe bisschoppen, zullen terugkeren naar de reguliere Rooms Katholieke kerk. Maar daarmee wordt het schisma wat door de excommunicatie ontstaat, wel definitief en onomkeerbaar. Terwijl de Pius X broederschap met of zonder excommunicatie snel zal blijven groeien. De vraag van de niet gelovigen naar het Universele Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieke geloof van voor het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie is groot, terwijl dit geloof in de reguliere Rooms Katholieke kerk verboden is. Deze nieuwe gelovigen wijzen het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie dus uitdrukkelijk af. Wat hier werkelijk het probleem is dat de Reguliere Rooms Katholieke kerk het Universele Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieke geloof van voor het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie afgeschaft en verboden heeft en de vooral jongere generaties hier juist sterk aan hechten. Het gevolg is dat de reguliere …More
SACRAMENTALS for the time of chastisement: Moses interceded for the people, and Yahweh answered him, "Make a fiery serpent and put it on a standard. If anyone is bitten and looks at it, he shall live." (Numbers 21:8) 1) Some Sacramentales serve for Protection: a) Exodus 12:5, 7, 13; The animal shall be without blemish, a male, one year old. You shall choose it from among the lambs or the goats. Then they shall take the blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat it. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there will be no plague to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. b) Revelation 7:3; “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God with the Seal.” c) Revelation 9:4; They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or anything green, or any tree; but only those people who did not have the Seal of …More
1) Niektóre sakramentalia służą ochronie: a) Księga Wyjścia 12:5, 7, 13; Zwierzę to ma być bez skazy, samcem, w wieku jednego roku. Wybierzecie je spośród baranków lub kozłów. Następnie wezmą krew i posmarują nią oba odrzwia oraz nadproże domów, w których będą je spożywać. Krew ta będzie dla was znakiem na domach, w których mieszkacie. Gdy ujrzę tę krew, ominę was i nie spadnie na was plaga, która ma zniszczyć was, gdy uderzę w ziemię egipską. b) Objawienie 7:3; „Nie wyrządzajcie szkody ziemi, morzu ani drzewom, dopóki nie oznaczymy pieczęcią czoła sług naszego Boga”. c) Objawienie 9:4; Powiedziano im, aby nie wyrządzali szkody trawie na ziemi, ani niczemu zielonemu, ani żadnemu drzewu, lecz tylko tym ludziom, którzy nie mieli pieczęci Boga na czołach. 2) Niektóre sakramentalia służą uzdrowieniu: a) Księga Liczb 21: 5-8; Po drodze lud stracił cierpliwość. Narzekali na Boga i na Mojżesza: „Dlaczego wyprowadziłeś nas z Egiptu, żebyśmy zginęli na tej pustyni? Nie ma tu bowiem ani …More

"FSSPX Are Schismatic Priests": Cardinal Gerhard Müller told EWTN that Catholics “cannot go” to Masses offered by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX): “They shouldn't go and cannot go, participate in the masses of the schismatic priests.” He added that Catholics must accept not only dogmas such as the Trinity and the Incarnation, but also that “the Church is the visible presence of the Body of Jesus Christ.” Regarding the FSSPX's planned episcopal consecrations, he said: “Consecrations without the Pope are absolutely impossible against the will of God, and who is working against God will be excommunicated.” The Vatican has so far never used the word "schism" or "schismatic" in context with the FSSPX.
Cardinal Müller's remarks to EWTN (June 26) were strikingly uncompromising: "Catholics cannot go to these schismatic priests."
Has there ever been a time like this? The FSSPX is not doing something new, as throughout history of the Church there has been consecrations without papal aproval and nothing happened, because the salvation of souls is #1 and above everything else, BUT we are living in such dangerous times that we no longer distinguish good from bad and light with dark, this is why the FSSPX is doing what's best for their sheep and I (even though im not one of them), stands with them.
