"He would be ready to give to each of the creatures more than what is held by all the angels and seraphim together; even if all the drops in the ocean and the grains of sand on their shores, all the stars, the planets and the elements, and all creatures were capable of reason and of his gifts, they would receive them without measure, provided they would dispose themselves and place no obstacle toward receiving them."

“Chapter IV The Virgin Mother delivered a certain monk devoted to her from the Devil and also converted him from the habit of drunkenness. The story goes that a monk devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary having entered the cellar of the abbey, so soaked himself in strong wine that he soon became senseless. And, after remaining there some time, awaking presently from his drunken sleep he tried to go to the church through the cloister, and there met him the Devil under the appearance of a very great bull trying to pierce him with its horns. Then there came to him a very beautiful maiden with long hair flowing over her shoulders and holding in her right hand a linen handkerchief, who rated the devil, and bade him depart from the household of God; then suddenly both visions vanished. But when that monk walked on and approached the church, the Devil again came in the shape of a dreadful dog, who leapt violently upon him. Thereupon appeared that maiden, compelling him to depart and again rescuing …More
"And, as he entered the church, the Devil came in the form of an immense lion, roaring and making an onset on him, as if to devour him ; but immediately the Blessed Virgin appeared holding a rod in her hand again ft the devil and threatening him with the suffering of other worse punishments; whereupon he at once vanished like smoke."
For several days, Spain’s newspaper El País has filled its pages with reports of alleged sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. Here is why. Vatican investigation against Spanish bishop One case centers on a Vatican investigation into Bishop Rafael Zornoza Boy, 76, of Cádiz y Ceuta. He is accused of homosexually abusing a male minor in the 1990s while serving as rector of the Getafe seminary. Bishop Zornoza denies the charge as "false". He has stepped back from duties while the Vatican inquiry proceeds. A canonical tribunal in Madrid, under the supervision of the Archbishop of Seville, is handling the case. Abuse-"coverage" as political control Carlos Balén argues on InfoVaticana.com on November 12 that the wave of abuse coverage is about political control. He sees it as a strategy to keep a weakened Church submissive by constantly reviving its scandals: “The Spanish bishops are hostages of their own guilt,” Balén writes. “For fear that someone might pronounce their name next to …More
A Spanish Catholic bishop is under investigation by the Vatican over an allegation of sexual abuse dating back three decades, his diocese confirmed this week.
That’s OK but when a Swiss Guard pretends to expectorate as two nice Jewish ladies walk by he is tarred and feathered without a trial. Has anyone actually been to Jerusalem where Orthodox Jews make it a point of honour—something they are extremely proud of—to run of and strike unsuspecting Christians and spit in their faces especially if they are Catholic priests wearing the cassock or the habit. Topsy turvy world that we live in, right??!!
Leo XIV is expected to be asked to resolve one of the longest-standing consequences of the Reformation by formally designating St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral in Dublin as the city’s official Catholic cathedral.
A Catholic majority country has its Catholic Cathedrals stolen from it. The Catholic populace is relegated to a temporary building constructed during penal times when practicing Catholicism was persecuted by the minority Protestant fat cats. The Church of Ireland is a false and irrelevant church of land rewarded apostate landlords. Down with tyrants! Who has the Book of Kells? A Catholic treasure. You guessed it. The Church of Ireland who expropriated it ( euphemism for ‘stole’). The English genocided the Irish during the Potato Famine by exporting out Ireland all cattle and beef. What was left? A few blighted, moldy potatoes. Would Sunni Muslims stand for the Shia taking over Mecca, Medina and the Grand Mosque in Jerusalem? Hell no! Irish Catholics put up with blood thirsty tyrants stealing everything that they could get their hands on, while savagely persecuting the Church back into the catacombs ie, Mass Rock, St. Oliver Plunket, Bishop and Martyr, pray for us! vs. Sir Oliver Plunkett …More
Cardinal Michael Czerny has said that Pope Leo XIV is “in perfect continuity” with Pope Francis, describing the new pontiff as one who is “implementing processes that Francis set in motion.”

Objection Syllogism: @chrisgriffin The objection argues that Christ is the Sole Mediator in a way that excludes secondary or cooperative roles, rendering the titles "Co-Redemptrix" and "Mediatrix" false. Major Premise (Universal Principle of Mediation): The saving office of Redemption and the ultimate Mediation between God and humanity must be held by one, unique, and infinite Source of grace. (This premise asserts the exclusivity and uniqueness of the principal saving office). Minor Premise (Application to Mary's Titles): The titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces attribute to Mary roles that appear to share or divide this singular saving office of Redemption and Mediation. (This premise assumes that "Co-" and "Mediatrix" imply an equality or a conflict with the unique Source). Conclusion (The Objection): Therefore, the titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces are not only unacceptable, but false, as they compromise the dogma of Christ's unique Redemption …More

Tensions over Ukraine’s forced mobilization exploded in the city of Dnieper, where a man opened fire on recruitment officers, injuring two during a reported conscription attempt. The suspect fled and remains at large, as authorities launch a manhunt. Ukraine’s recruitment drive has turned increasingly harsh amid manpower shortages, with reports of officers using force, chasing civilians, and even conscripting the homeless. Human rights officials have warned of “systematic and widespread” abuses by draft officers. The incident comes as Kyiv faces growing battlefield setbacks and pressure to replenish forces against advancing Russian troops in eastern Ukraine.

Catholic Hierarchy, theologians, apologists, and laity never acknowledge or they ignore the fact that the condemnation of abortion is equal in infallibility, equal in theological importance and equal in Divine and Catholic Faith as the founding of the Catholic Church by Christ, equal in belief to the Real Presence in the Eucharist, equal in infallibility as all the Marion doctrines and more! Why has this been kept secret for so long? This was declared in 1995, 26 years ago! Here are the salient paragraphs declaring that Evangelium Vitae condemned abortion to the highest possible Catholic category of Divine and Catholic Faith. That is how important it is that everyone cry out to their brother and sister Catholics the horror of abortion and their grave responsibility to oppose it religiously as you would the Catholic Church itself, publicly and privately CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH Doctrinal Commentary on the Concluding Formula of the Professio fidei 11.

NO, Euthanasia is not in the same theological class as abortion. This from thePROFESSION OF FAITH... 3 categories - Category 1,,, (5).This is where abortion isThe first paragraph states: "With firm faith, I also believe everything contained in the word of God, whether written or handed down in Tradition, which the Church, either by a solemn judgement or by the ordinary and universal Magisterium, sets forth to be believed as divinely revealed". The object taught in this paragraph is constituted by all those doctrines of divine and catholic faith which the Church proposes as divinely and formally revealed and, as such, as irreformable.11 - 11. Examples. Without any intention of completeness or exhaustiveness, some examples of doctrines relative to the three paragraphs described above can be recalled. To the truths of the first paragraph belong the articles of faith of the Creed, the various christological dogmas21 and marian dogmas;22the doctrine of the institution of the sacraments …More
And the same is true of euthanasia. However, euthanasia has the very great likelihood of sending a soul to Hell, not to the Limbo of the Innocents. Shouldn't it, then, receive similar emphasis?
