To begin a mission for us and for humanity, we start with Jesus. He is the cause, the reason and the purpose for the Mission. To accomplish it, there is only one solution, that Jesus be our Lord and Saviour, our Master. If we want to help the world to improve, to find values, to become holy, Jesus will transform us, at our request and according to the trust we will entrust in him. Mary is the perfect example of an intimate and renewed relationship of Jesus in her. Mary still evangelizes us today through the mission she accepts from God. Holiness in the world begins with holiness within us. Without our will to live an improvement of life and faith, we reject Jesus’s blessing. Then, Jesus cannot help us evolve. Holiness solely depends on our relationship with Jesus. The improvement of our existence depends on our intention to receive everything from the Lord and to let ourselves be Loved by him. The mission received from God is to familiarize ourselves with Jesus, to receive his teaching …More

An altar server at San Dominic Savio Parish, Archdiocese of Bogotá, Colombia, observed in April during Communion that a woman was taking the host with her hands, bringing it back to the pews and sharing it with her pet which was with her in the church. At least the dog didn't take the communion with his paw. In his sermon on 28 April (video below), the parish priest, Reverend Laureano Barón, called it a "sacrilege" and urged the anonymous woman to go to confession with the bishop, who alone can absolve this "grave" sin in confession. Rev. Barón has nothing against it when the faithful take communion with their hand, but they should put it into their mouth in front of the priest. He also mentioned a mother who took a piece of her host and gave it to her little boy, who had asked for it "to know what it tastes like". Strangely, the priest is surprised: "It seems that we do not understand that we are facing the greatest miracle in the world". But then, Barón himself distributes communion …More

Robin Ward, an Anglican author, lay priest and Rector of St Stephen's House, Oxford, published on Twitter.com (2 May) a picture of a woman dressed as a "deacon" distributing communion at an Orthodox service in Zimbabwe. The church, whose location is unclear, is said to belong to the tiny Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa under Greek-born Theodore II (Nikolaos Khoreftakis), who also likes to call himself "Pope". The Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Alexandria introduced deaconesses in November 2016 under the pretext of reviving an "ancient practice" that in reality never existed. Much less is it an "ancient practice" for a deacon, not even a validly ordained one, to distribute Holy Communion. The Orthodox are self-governing churches. So everyone does what they want. This is why many Orthodox groups are at odds with each other. #newsLzbtkbbuqz
In short, the pontificate of Jorge Bergoglio will go down in history as a paradigm of Piara papacy.

Nearly twenty scholars have written a statement on 2 May summarising the "crimes and heresies" of Francis. Among the signatories is a cleric, Rev. Linus Clovis. They call on Francis "to resign from the papal office". The lengthy 18-page text lists Francis' "crimes", including a long list of cases where Francis protected homosexual abusers and then lied about doing so ("sabotage of justice"). It also lists Francis' heresies, and analyses his roots and their consequences regarding Francis' tenure. Promotion of homosexual abusers When he was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio protected his friend Rev. Julio Grassi, who was later convicted of abusing boys in homes for street children he founded. Francis commissioned a 2,600-page report for the Argentine Supreme Court that exonerated Grassi and attacked his victims. Bergoglio's attempt failed. When questioned about the report, he lied and said he had nothing to do with it. Francis' friend, former Bishop Gustavo Óscar Zanchetta of …More

18 February 2024 To the Catholic Bishops: The truth of our much lamented position as the Church is in the sacramental records. This is specifically found in the change of the priest to faithful ratio over the last 54 years. This ratio is as telling as it gets. Obviously, the lower the priest to faithful ratio, the more the Mystical Body of Christ is served. The larger the ratio, the harder it becomes for the faithful to go to Mass, have their Confessions heard, or to have a meaningful contact with priests at all. In 1970, the year that the Novus Ordo Mass was introduced, we had 59,192 USA priests and around 52 million Catholics or about 1:881. Today we have around 28,000 priests and 72 million Catholics or about 1:2,571. We have 1/3 the priests that we had right after the unexpected innovation of the Novus Ordo Mass. In the 5 plus decades since 1970, the ratio of priests to faithful has never gotten better; it keeps cratering. The Catholic Church is in dire straits. In the 1950’s we had …More
