HealthRanger @HealthRanger I've put together the complete world map of all the oil refinery and fertilizer plant fires, accidents, explosions and possible sabotage over the last 12 months. This map is well-sourced, and includes the full timeline, location and facility name impacted. We don't know, of course, the actual originating cause of each incident, but the overall pattern is alarming, and there's no question that a huge portion of the world's energy infrastructure is being taken offline one way or another. Feel free to share: (this is a very hi-res image, so you can zoom in to see the detailed text)
Acts of the Apostles 2,14.36-41. Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed: "You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you, and listen to my words. Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified." Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?" Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call." He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day. Psalms 23(22),1…More
youtube.com/shorts/Id7SAebAhFg?cbrd=1&ucbcb=1 The Moral Ecology of the Conjugal Act: The Analogy of the Farmer and the Field To understand the Catholic Church’s teachings on marital intimacy, it is helpful to look through the lens of a vivid, practical framework: the analogy of the farmer and the field. This analogy illustrates the delicate "moral ecology" of the conjugal act, highlighting the theological principles of preparation, mutual reverence, and the inherent dangers of frustration or artificial separation. It is vital to establish from the outset that in this analogy, the "field" is not passive dirt. While the husband is the "farmer" bringing the seed, the wife's body is a living, breathing, and responsive partner. She is an active co-creator. The field actively welcomes the seed and works in synergy with the farmer, making the marital act a mutual giving and receiving rather than a one-way transaction. #### The Approved Path: Honoring the Ecology **1. The Field (The Sacred …More

American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame STARLINK DECLARES WAR ON COMETS: from www.spaceweather.com Earlier this year, the number of Starlink satellites in Earth orbit surpassed 10,000. You can see the evidence in the sky: Dan Bush took this picture before sunrise on April 16th from Albany, Missouri. It's supposed to be a picture of Comet PanSTARRS (C/2025 R3), but it contains far more satellites than comets--more than 35 Starlinks in the full-frame photo. "The 'Starlink Zone of Maximum Reflection' appeared right in front of the comet," says Bush. "Stacking 30-second exposures helped alleviate the satellites, but they're still there." Bush's photo is no fluke. In the past year, the number of comet photos criss-crossed by satellites submitted to our gallery has jumped more than 10-fold. The actual counts are certainly greater. Many astrophotographers use software to remove the streaks (e.g., StarXTerminator and Cosmic Clarity), then submit the scrubbed photos without mentioning that …More

Christian pastor is arrested for 'criticising Islam' while preaching in Watford town centre - as police officer tells him 'in the name of Jesus, get in the car' A video of a 66‑year‑old Christian pastor, Steve Maile, being arrested in Watford town centre has gone viral. He was preaching, singing hymns and pop songs adapted to a Christian message. Pastor Maile, a grandfather with no criminal record, was arrested after briefly criticising Islam and LGBT lifestyles while preaching, something he says he has done peacefully for decades. Footage shows multiple police officers converging on him within seconds, placing him in handcuffs in full view of the public and his family. The arresting officer arguably mocks the Christian faith by saying to him before putting him in the police car: 'In Jesus name get in the car.'

When God Reveals Every Hidden Thing The general judgment, distinct from individual judgment at death, will reveal the weight of human sin and God’s infinite mercy. For the saints, it will be a time of rejoicing, as they witness God’s forgiveness and their own sanctification. For the damned, it will exacerbate their misery, highlighting their refusal to repent and accept God’s mercy. Fr.

St. Rafael Arnaiz - April 26 saltandlight Birth: April 9, 1911; Burgos, Spain Feast Day: April 26th Known for: humility, surrender to the will of God, artistic talent and sensitivity, joy, good sense of humor, desire to live in order to love Jesus, Mary, the Cross, and his Trappist monastery Imitate the saint: Respond to the call of the Lord immediately, abandon yourself into the hands of God, embrace suffering with joy, and let your happiness be in God. Did you know? After studying to become an architect in Madrid, Rafael experienced the call of God to consecrate himself in the monastic life, and after asking permission to enter, he entered into the Trappist monastery on April 15, 1934. God wished to test him mysteriously with a painful sickness -acute diabetes- that forced him to leave the monastery three times, but always he returned with a generous and faithful response to what he experienced to be the call of God.
Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit priest Joseph Samedi, 54, as Coadjutor Archbishop of Bangui. The appointment places Fr Samedi alongside Cardinal Dieudonné Nzapalainga, 59, who is only five years his senior. Background to the Appointment Cardinal Nzapalainga has led the Archdiocese of Bangui since 2012 and was made cardinal by Pope Francis in 2016. He rose to international prominence for his interfaith work during the Central African Republic’s civil conflict, particularly through the 'Plateforme des Confessions Religieuses de Centrafrique', a coalition of Christian and Muslim leaders promoting reconciliation. In recent years, however, local and regional reporting has pointed to growing tensions between the Archdiocese of Bangui and the Nunciature in the Central African Republic. The most sweeping allegations have come from journalist Jean-Paul Naïba, who accuses the cardinal of greed, financial misconduct, nepotism, and misuse of church-affiliated NGOs. Regional outlets including …More

Padre Pio Saw the One Sin Disguised as a Virtue Padre Pio Saw the One Sin Disguised as a Virtue A respected Italian doctor traveled to San Giovanni Rotondo in 1947 to confess to Padre Pio. He had spent his life helping the sick, donating to the church, and living what everyone around him considered an exemplary Catholic life. He expected absolution in minutes. Instead Padre Pio refused him. Not once. Not twice. Three times over three consecutive days. What had Padre Pio detected in this man that no one else could see?
Leo XIV sent a video message to those gathered at DePaul University in the U.S. to mark the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in the State of Illinois. He stressed that the Church continues to affirm “that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed.” In The City of God, Augustine of Hippo argues that legitimate public authority acting under just law may order death.

They have been influenced for many years by Pachamama spirituality and liberation theology. As a result, they genuinely believe much of what they promote and speak about. The real issue is that they should never have been allowed anywhere near the Vatican, let alone placed in positions of authority at its very center. Therefore, cardinals and bishops—who *should* know better—are an even greater concern. Lukewarm Catholics are problematic. Lukewarm clergy are even worse. Shame on them.
Chris Jackson rightly wrote (Hiraeth in exile): So what are we supposed to believe? That the Church “long considered” an attack on human dignity to be morally acceptable? That Scripture, the Fathers, the Doctors, the Roman Catechism, and centuries of Catholic rulers all endorsed something intrinsically contrary to the dignity of man until Francis, of all people, corrected the moral theology of Christendom?
4th Sunday of Easter - A - Gospel Illustration - John 10:1–10 - Irena Sendler Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 10,1-10. Jesus said: "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers." Although Jesus used this figure of speech, they did not realize what he was trying to tell them. So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came (before me) are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters …More
