Retired Auxiliary Bishop Raymond Chappetto, 78, of Brooklyn, has been cleared of charges that he "mishandled" an abuse case. He was vicar general of the Brooklyn diocese from 2013 to 2022. In 2021, he was accused of failing to adequately disclose to a parish that the Rev. Uririoghene Okrokoto was prohibited from contact with minors. As a result, Chappetto was accused of potentially endangering minors. Reverend Okrokoto had a history of "boundary violations" with teenage girls. After treatment at a mental health facility, he was assigned to a Brooklyn parish in June 2021. Within weeks, Okrokoto was seen at the parish in the company of a teenage girl. He was removed from ministry again in October 2021 and remains suspended. The Diocese of Brooklyn told PillarCatholic.com (13 May) that the Vatican's Dicastery for Bishops had concluded after an investigation that the allegations against Chappetto were "manifestly unfounded and the case has been closed". The investigation was conducted by …More

Have we discovered God’s Love in our hearts? Isn’t it the best way to help our neighbour to let God simply pass through our heart, to ignite it? Jesus will guide us and show us what we are called to become: “Here comes with power the Lord God, who rules by his strong arm; here is his reward with him, his recompense before him. Like a shepherd he feeds his flock; in his arms he gathers the lambs, carrying them in his bosom, and leading the ewes with care.” Isaiah, chapter 40, verses 10 to 11 How comforting! The Lord illuminates his servants. The people who enter the service of the Lord are the people who have accepted him in their hearts and in their lives. With two blind men, Jesus makes them discover that faith in him is the solution to their discomfort: “‘Let it be done for you according to your faith.’ And their eyes were opened.” Matthew, chapter 9, verses 29 to 30 The new American Bible, 2011-2014 Book: The heart's mission, Normand Thomas

The same submission that we must have to the will of God, whatever way he treats us in prayer, we must also have with regard to all the other advantages of grace. It is good to desire virtue, to pursue it with ardor, and to strive to acquire it; but we must nevertheless conduct ourselves in such a way that if we do not arrive at the point of perfection that we desire, we still maintain the interior peace of the soul, being content with the measure of grace that God wants. give us, and to conform ourselves entirely to his divine will. If God does not want to grant you the purity of angels, if he wants to humiliate you and test you with continual temptations against chastity, it is better to submit you humbly to his divine will than to trouble yourself and complain about this. that you do not have this angelic purity. If God does not want to give you a humility as deep as that of Saint Francis, a meekness as great as that of Moses and David, a patience as constant as that of Job, and if …More

QUESTION 30 — THE PLURALITY OF PERSONS IN GOD 1. Are there several persons in God? 2. How many are there? 3. What do our numerical terms mean in God? 4. How is the name of person common in God? Article 1 — Are there several persons in God? Objection: 1. Person is the individual substance of reasonable nature. Therefore, if there are many persons in God, it will follow that there are many substances in him, which seems heretical. 2. Several absolute properties do not make several persons, neither in God nor in us; so several relationships will do it even less. Now in God there is only a plurality of relationships, as we have said. We cannot therefore say that there are several persons in God. 3 . The truly one being, says Boethius speaking of God, is that which has no number. Now, every plurality implies a number. There are therefore not several persons in God. 4. Where there is plurality, there is whole and part. Therefore, if we have several persons in God, we will also have to place …More

Rev. Joseph Williams, C.M., pastor of St Vincent de Paul Parish in Chicago, issued a 'facade' apology on 8 May for his [pseudo] blessing of two lesbian women on 21 April. It appears that Williams was forced to issue the apology. He regrets only "the language of the blessing", the use of the church and liturgical vestments, but insists he "meant it well". "The form that the blessing took, as shown in the video, was due to my attempt to give them a meaningful (!) moment of God's grace (!)". It was only when the video of the pseudo wedding went viral that Williams realised he had "made a very poor choice of words". "I am deeply sorry for any confusion and/or anger this has caused, especially to the people of God." He didn't apologise for the blasphemy he committed, he won't be punished, and no reparations will be made. #newsCrmnxkrgmi

Eck published an analysis of the Antichrist on Caminante-Wanderer.Blogspot.com (6 May). - Not the idols of paganism are the true idols, but the idols of possession, prestige, pleasure and power; slavery is embodied in them. - The devil rules and holds people in bondage through the law of sin, and is therefore called "the prince of this world" (John 12). - Christ was not interested in exchanging one religion for another, but he wanted to go to the root of the human problem: the human heart. - Christ did not confront the kings of his time, who were mere puppets, but the One who gave them their orders. Christ didn't confront the rich, but the money that created them; he didn't confront sinners, but sin, which he destroyed on the cross. - The Saviour came to "revolutionise" the world, that is, to bring it back to where it was before the Fall. "Re-volvere" in Latin, applied to the planets, means to return them to their true course. - The "revolutionary work" of the Church, her saints and …More

The Peruvian Ministry of Health (MINSA) has decided to include the WHO's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) in the health insurance system (PEAS). On 10 May this year, the Peruvian executive approved a decree affecting transvestites. In this measure, the Ministry of Health (MINSA) has decided to include the WHO's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) in the Health Insurance System (PEAS), which implies the recognition of homosexual "identities", especially those who identify as transvestites, as pathologies. ICD-10 diagnoses related to different expressions of sexuality and gender [pseudo] identity will now be considered mental disorders covered by the National Health Service. Although the aim of this measure is to favour and pay attention to the people concerned, the decree has provoked intense debate and dissatisfaction among the homosexual lobbies, which have been trying for years to present their behaviour as normal, which can fluctuate according to the …More
