War in Iran. Key Developments, April 24: A “Neither Peace Nor War” Stalemate. Iran Holds All the Cards—the U.S. Is Digging Its Own Grave The war in the Middle East has entered a “neither peace nor war” phase, but this is precisely where the U.S. seems to have miscalculated: by maintaining the blockade, they are themselves provoking a rise in oil prices, putting pressure on their own economy, and strengthening Iran’s role as the controller of key routes. Trump’s “unwavering” stance isn’t working; all the trump cards are in Iran’s hands—and the US is digging its own grave. The “neither peace nor war” mode In the Middle East, the conflict between the US and Iran has entered a “neither peace nor war” phase. According to military blogger Yuri Podolyaka’s morning briefing, the situation is as follows: the formal two-week ceasefire announced by Donald Trump on April 8 was supposed to end on the 22nd, but the U.S. president effectively extended it without specifying a concrete timeframe …More
Honoring Mom on Mother’s Day brought me to Robert Frost’s most famous poem and its deepest meaning about life, loss, and hope. You may remember a post I wrote a few years ago entitled “A Corner of the Veil.” It was about my mother, Sophie Kavanagh MacRae, who died on November 5, 2006 during my 12th year in prison. That hasn’t stopped her from visiting, however. I had a strange dream about her a few nights ago, and I keep going back to it trying to find some meaning that at first eluded me. The United Kingdom celebrates Mothering Sunday on the Fourth Sunday of Lent, but in North America, Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday of May. I wonder if that was what prompted my vivid dream. It was in three dimensions, sort of like looking through one of those stereoscopic View Masters we had long ago. Pop in a disk of images and there they were in three dimensions and living color. My dream was like that, even the color — which is strange because I am colorblind since birth. My rods and cones …
Vatican News produced the documentary Leone a Roma for the first anniversary of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate. One scene featuring older photos shows him wearing Nike sneakers and liturgical vestments, sparking huge reactions online.
Fr. Gerald E. Murray on EWTN: "And the document, the report of study group number nine is horrific. I'll say that quite clearly. I've read that document. I find it to be a subversive attempt to overthrow Catholic morality on the question of homosexuality. And this is a really, really crucial moment for the church because. The program of subversion in plain sight of Catholic teaching on the immoral nature of homosexual activity and the disordered nature of the homosexual inclination, this is a number one target for some people in the church. And sad to say, the Synod office is now just another public relations arm of that pressure group."
If things keep going as they are going, Newchurch will have full acceptance of homosexuality. We shall see if God allows it to go that far. These gays who write these documents would do well to remember Sodom.
The statement by the German and Austrian Catholics is fully against what the true Catholic faith teaches. Those who made this statement don't think with the soul of a real Catholic.
Vatican Sponsors Subversion of the Faith: The report of the Synod’s study group number 9 attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching on the inherent immorality of homosexual acts "by stigmatizing that teaching as the expression of an obsolete ‘paradigm’ that no longer can be relied upon to communicate God’s will to His people," wrote Rev. Gerald Murray in TheCatholicThing.org: "This Vatican-sponsored destructive subversion must come to an end now."
Vatican Misrepresenting 'Courage' - Like Secular Media: The Vatican’s recent final report of the Synodal group on “emerging issues” [=homosexuality] drew criticism from 'Courage International'. This group helps homosexuals to live according to the teachings of the Church. In a May 8 statement, 'Courage' said the Vatican's report had committed “both calumny and detraction against the organization and its members.” Courage rejected claims that it engages in 'reparative therapy' and said that Synod officials could have clarified the matter by consulting its leadership rather than relying on one individual’s testimony. The organisation also expressed sadness that such criticism had appeared in an official Vatican document rather than from secular critics.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom conveniently announces $20 MILLION in taxpayer dollars will flow to an organization connected to his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom "Free diapers" will be handed out to newborns through the group Baby2Baby — a co-CEO of which is Norah Weinstein, who sits on Siebel Newsom's Board at her group "California Partners Project,"
Israel is taking out the last remaining residential towers in Gaza to make it impossible for the remaining Palestinians to live there and turning them into refugees.
One of the most terrifying attacks carried out by Israel, where it completely destroyed the Mashteha Tower within a matter of seconds, as it is considered one of the largest and most beautiful towers in Gaza, and houses thousands of families living in it, despite the thousands of tents that were located on every side of this tower, aircraft launched no less than 6 deadly missiles that resulted in thousands of lethal shrapnel fragments, which led to the destruction of thousands of tents that were the only shelter for the families. This is not just a war, this is genocide.
It is fake because the intent is to show the evil Jews destroying the housing for good Palestinian people,the building was obviously in need of demolition to make the area safe even for the Arabs. I am no friend of the Jew nor am I his enemy , but I think it is unfair that so many have a knee jerk reaction and blame nearly everything on Zionism etc. the real problem in the world is so many turning their backs to God regardless of race. Is Biden,Harris Pelosi really any better than the Netin what ever his name is? The scariest thing in this world today is a pope and hierarchy in the Catholic Church who are far from being Catholic. They are leading more people to hell than all the Jews everywhere.
Every Grace Flows Through Mary’s Hands The feast of Our Lady the Mediatrix of all graces celebrates the belief that every grace given by God to the world, whether to individuals or the church, is mediated through Mary. While Jesus is the sole mediator between God and man, Mary’s mediation is secondary but important, as she cooperates perfectly with God’s will. This belief, though sometimes misunderstood, is a beautiful truth that highlights God’s humility and the importance of Mary as our spiritual mother. Fr.

@ Edie Loughmiller ..."every grace given by God to the world, whether to individuals or the church, is mediated through Mary". What does "mediated" mean specifically in this quotation? what actions are involved? Every grace in the world goes thru mary?
According to St Alphonus Liguori, "Now, as the King of Heaven is Infinite Goodness itself, He desires to enrich us with His graces, but as great confidence on our part is necessary to obtain them, He has, in order to increase our confidence, given us His Own Mother as our Mother and mediatrix to assist us. Therefore He wishes us to place our hope of salvation and of all goods and graces in Her"
On Friday, Leo XIV. visited Naples Cathedral. Shortly before his arrival, the blood of Saint Januarius reportedly liquefied off-schedule. The miracle traditionally occurs three times a year and has also been linked to earlier papal visits, including that of Pius IX in 1848. During visits by John Paul II in 1979 and Benedict XVI in 2007, the miracle did not occur. Francis witnessed a partial liquefaction in 2015.

This reminds me of years ago when people were spreading the same propaganda. Someone right here on gtv as well. Until 2 or 3 video's were posted of President Putin in Ukraine walking the streets.

Video's of Victory Day Parade in Russia 2026 also included. Watch President Putin give a speech and shake hands with Soldiers and Officers as he always does. And not hiding in a bunker as fake news from Europe, US and right here on gtv say he is doing.
In Canada, you now get a journalism award for making sure the myth of a mass grave at a residential school is true. It was genocide. Denialism of the myth is the woke journalistic sin. Don’t be Canada.

"25. “The highest perfection in this life,” says a pious author, “consists in remaining so closely united to God that the soul with all its faculties and its powers is recollected in God,” “that its affections united in the joy of love find rest only in possession of the Creator. The image of God imprinted in the soul is formed by reason, memory, and will. As long as these faculties do not bear the perfect image of God, they do not resemble Him as on the day of creation."
