Coliva (or Koliva) is a traditional Eastern Orthodox ritual food made of boiled wheat berries, sugar, nuts, and flavorings, primarily used to honor the dead. It is served at funerals and memorial services in countries like Romania, Greece, and Bulgaria to symbolize the resurrection, the cycle of life, and Christian hope, often garnished with a cross of candy or powder. Usage: It is brought to the church, blessed during the service, and then shared among family, friends, and sometimes the community in memory of the loved one. Not just at funerals, but also for the 40 day and yearly remembrance. Explained: youtube.com/watch?v=CAIjkDG21YE How to make it: youtube.com/watch?v=SEAFGfZs8Kk
Prevost contradicts not only all of Scripture, Divine Natural Law, and Catholic moral doctrine, but also all the Church Fathers, the Saints, Church Tradition, and approved Marian apparitions.
"Love it or hate it**, ‘prepping’ is becoming a way of life for many Catholics and with World War III brewing – or, some may say, already begun – our thoughts naturally turn to things both eschatological and practical. Damian Keller leads this article with a short reminder of our spiritual obligations and focus at this time. "Below that, you will find links to some helpful videos concerning practical considerations. These are not created by Catholics and are merely representational – there is a vast amount of information available for those who want to dive deeper into how and why we should make physical preparations. "(**If you are not convinced that prepping is compatible with relying on Divine Providence, then you may like to watch this documentary about the Siege of Sarajevo – a modern day case study in the realities of war and suffering. It reveals that in times of great hardship, people are grateful for the least bit of comfort; we can ensure even a little of this for our …More
Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticised Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s instruction to priests to perform or enable 'blessings' for same-sex couples, calling it "completely irresponsible". Talking to Gloria.tv on 24 April, Monsignor Schneider said that such 'blessings' amount to publicly endorsing a lifestyle contrary to nature, reason and the commandments of God: "To make this almost an obligation is mockery and blasphemy," he said, adding: "It is a grave sin for a cardinal to promote such a thing." When asked about California Bishop Joseph Brennan's participation in an Anglican episcopal consecration on 18 April, Bishop Schneider described it as an ecclesiastical crime, as Monsignor Brennan took part in the simulation of an invalid ordination. Monsignor Schneider pointed out a double standard within the Church: "A bishop who participates in a schismatic, heretical and invalid so-called episcopal consecration apparently remains unpunished. At the same time, a true Catholic and valid episcopal …More

Prevost contradicts the Most Holy Virgin Mary, who revealed at Fatima that more souls go to hell because of sins of sexual impurity than for any other reason.
Apostate Robert Prevost endorses Bergoglio’s heresies: Prevost once again confirms that he possesses the element of obstinacy which establishes him as a manifest, pertinacious, and formal heretic. The Magisterium of the Church has decreed in perpetuity that the elevation of a heretic as Pope is invalid and null. The Church also teaches that the sin of heresy, schism, and apostasy separates the heretic from the Mystical Body of Christ—which is His Church—and that he who is not a member of the Church cannot be the Head of the Church. Apostate Prevost is a formal manifest heretic, … The Magisterium of the Church has decreed that the elevation of a heretic to the papacy, even if he were elected by all the cardinals, is invalid and null. Catholic Encyclopedia 1914 (Vol. 11, p. 456): “It is very clear that the election [as Pope] of a heretic, schismatic or woman would be null and void.”
Prevost obstinately rejects the authority of God and defies the Holy Spirit. Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples Saint Paul teaches us that anyone who rejects the instructions to live in holiness and disobeys the Will of God—which consists precisely in the requirement that we Christians live in holiness and abstain from all sexual immorality—is not rejecting a human authority; rather, on the contrary, such a person is rejecting the Supreme Authority, which is the authority of God. Such a person rejects and defies the Holy Spirit. In other words, Prevost is committing the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 New Catholic Bible God Wills Your Sanctification Chapter 4 Respect for the Body. 1 Finally, brethren, you learned from us how you ought to live so that you may be pleasing to God—and as you are indeed doing. Now we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus to do so even more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord …More

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
100 Years of the Cristero War in Mexico: Bishop Invites Catholics to Learn About the Faith in Order to Defend It. (Note: we translated this article from Spanish. Any mistakes are ours.) During the commemoration of the centennial of the Cristero War in Mexico, the Bishop of Zacatecas, Monsignor Sigifredo Noriega Barceló, urged the faithful to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith in order to know how to defend it today. The Cristero War, also known as the Cristiada, was an armed conflict that erupted in 1926 after President Plutarco Elías Calles intensified the enforcement of anti-clerical articles contained in the 1917 Constitution. This occurred through the so-called Calles Law, which imposed severe restrictions on religious life. In response, on July 31, 1926, the Mexican bishops suspended public worship throughout the country. Subsequently, the federal government responded with intensified persecution of Catholics. According to the Mexican Episcopal Conference (CEM), 'more …
France has deployed a squadron of nuclear-capable Dassault Rafale fighter jets to Poland, conducting high-intensity drills that simulate tactical nuclear strikes near the borders of Russia and Belarus. The aircraft, equipped with the supersonic ASMP-A cruise missile capable of delivering a 300-kiloton payload, are operating out of Polish airbases in a move that signals a hardening of Europe’s independent nuclear deterrent. While the French Ministry of Armed Forces emphasizes the drills are "defensive exercises," the forward deployment into Poland represents a strategic shift toward a "European nuclear shield" that operates outside the traditional U.S.-led NATO nuclear sharing framework. Moscow has denounced the move as a direct provocation and "encirclement," as Polish officials reportedly explore deeper integration with France’s nuclear arsenal to counter the evolving threat from the war in Ukraine.

At least nine scientists have mysteriously died in China as speculation grows over the deaths and disappearances of 11 American scientists. In many of the Chinese cases, the causes of death are recorded as accidents, sickness, or unexplained incidents. And while these explanations appear straightforward individually, taken together they are drawing increased scrutiny. One of the most puzzling cases is that of Feng Yanghe, a 38-year-old defence technology professor who died in July 2023. He had reportedly been working on simulations related to a potential Taiwan invasion before his death in a late-night car crash in Beijing, Newsweek reports. Official accounts state that Feng had been leaving a work meeting when the crash occurred at around 2.35 am. But speculation grew after his obituary described the scientist as having been 'sacrificed while performing official duties,' wording that some observers found unusual for what was described as a traffic accident. Further attention was …

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Footnotes 1 Corinthians 6:9 The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts. Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
PresidentDonald Trump’s job approval among Catholicvoters rebounded in April despite his public feud with Pope Leo XIV intensifying this year. The shift challenges assumptions that Trump’s attacks on a sitting pope would alienate a key religious voting bloc. Catholics—long a pivotal swing constituency—appear more resistant to Vatican criticism than many Democratic and Republican strategists had anticipated. White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Newsweek in an emailed statement: “There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump, and his record proves it. “President Trump ended the weaponization of the federal government against Christians, proudly defended and expanded our religious rights, pardoned pro-life activists, stopped the chemical mutilation of our nation’s children, and protected parents’ rights. The president will never waver in his support for Catholic Americans and will continue delivering unprecedented victories.” Continue …
For about forty years, the United States and the Soviet Union spent an absurd amount of money preparing for the end of the world. Both sides built bunkers, stockpiled supplies, trained civilians, and developed survival protocols that most people today have completely forgotten about. But here’s the thing – the scenarios they were preparing for sound a lot like what you are getting ready for right now. The triggers might be different, but the problems are the same. The Cold War generated decades of real, government-funded survival research. Most of it gathered dust in declassified archives and forgotten civil defense manuals. Some of it is surprisingly practical, and almost none of it gets talked about anymore. That changes now. The Swiss Shelters When people think Cold War bunkers, they think of secret government facilities buried inside mountains. Fair enough, but the most impressive civilian shelter program didn’t come from the US or the Soviet Union. It came from Switzerland. …
"In truth, I am like this mighty lord, for I built myself a city, that is, the world, and placed a castle there, that is, the church. The name of the world was divine wisdom, for the world had this name from the beginning, since it was created in divine wisdom. This name was venerated by all, and God was praised in his wisdom and wondrously proclaimed by his creatures. But now the name of the city has been dishonored and changed, and a new name has been taken, that is, human wisdom."
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 55 About how Christ is likened to a mighty lord who built a great city and a marvelous castle, signifying the world and the church, and how the judges and defenders and workers in the church of God have been changed into a bad bow. Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “I am like a powerful lord who built a great city and named it after himself. Thereafter, he built a castle in the city in which there were many rooms for storing all kinds of useful necessities. Then, when he had built the castle and arranged all his things, he divided his people into three groups, saying: ‘I am going away to a far away country. Stand firm and work manfully for my glory! I have made arrangements for your food and your necessities, and you have judges to judge you and defenders to defend you from your enemies. I have also arranged for …More
