A Thanksgiving Contemplation and History

What are you grateful for?
The question is now in wide circulation and not only at Thanksgiving.

Historian Michael Hoffman at Plymouth Rock, 1990
It’s a challenging one that calls us to a consciousness of the riches we have received. It was popularized in the first part of this new century by the proprietors of a vegetarian restaurant chain in California, Cafe Gratitude. Their book,
Sacred Commerce: Business as a Path of Awakening remains one of the most effective human relations and management guides extant.
Even an arch-cynic like Niccolo Machiavelli acknowledged the supremacy of the virtue of gratitude:
“Machiavelli despaired of men left to their own resources with a more than Augustinian despair.…It was not so much that men were naturally evil as that he found them naturally selfish, cowardly, fickle, base, and generally worthless. And yet in the pages of the Discourses on Livy which he had dreamed over as a child, and in the other histories of antiquity he had leisure to study …

Unità senza Verità.
"Allora Pilato gli disse: "Dunque tu sei re?". Rispose Gesù: "Tu lo dici: io sono re. Per questo io sono nato e per questo sono venuto nel mondo: per dare testimonianza alla verità. Chiunque è dalla verità, ascolta la mia voce". Gv 18, 37

Pope Leo XIV downplays the Filioque in new apostolic letter - LifeSite

Mon Nov 24, 2025 - 12:48 pm ESTMon Nov 24, 2025 - 12:48 pm EST
(
LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV, in a new apostolic letter, recalls the Nicene Creed in its original form — without the Filioque — as the foundation of the Christian faith, emphasizing the primacy of the ecumenical path.
On Sunday, November 23, the Pope published an apostolic letter dedicated to the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, In Unitate Fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”), in which he proposes renewed momentum for an ecumenical profession of faith.
“We share the same faith in the one and only God, the Father of all people; we confess together the one Lord and true Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the one Holy Spirit, who inspires us and impels us towards full unity and the common witness to the Gospel. Truly, what unites us is much greater than what divides us,” wrote the Pontiff.
In the text, aimed at promoting the unity of Christians with reference to the first professions of faith, Pope Leo XIV cites the …

Tucho’s New Document: Poetic-Affective Meditation Quoting Homosexual and Erotic Poets

Tucho Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, released on November 25 the document on monogamy, titled ‘Una caro. Elogio della monogamia’.
This 156-paragraph, 40-page text essentially compiles what has been said throughout history about matrimony, from the Book of Genesis and the Church Fathers to Popes, philosophers, pagan cultures, and poets. For example, Fernández quotes Hindu sources such as the Manusmṛti, the Bhagavata Purana and the Thirukkural to affirm the value of monogamy.
The document was written after discussions with African Bishops on polygamy and also on polyamorous relations, growing in the West.
During the press conference, Tucho couldn’t help himself but make a pro-homosexual “joke”. He said that about how 40 years ago, people used to say that Romans had a wife, but they also had another woman and another man.
In the document itself, Tucho does not appear to have committed one of his usual doctrinal errors, nor does he seem to have granted …More

One day, a wealthy businessman finally carved out a few minutes from his packed schedule and went for a walk along the beach. The sun was warm, the air smelled like salt and wind, and everything felt calm for once.
Suddenly he noticed a fisherman lying next to his small boat, smoking a pipe and watching the waves roll in.
“Why aren’t you out on the water?” the businessman asked, surprised.
“Already caught everything I need for today,” the fisherman replied calmly.
“But why not catch more?” the man insisted.
“More for what?” the fisherman shrugged. “I don’t need extra fish.”
“Well, think about it!” the businessman lit up. “You could sell the extra catch, make more money, buy a motor for your boat, go farther out, catch even more fish. Then you could buy better nets, earn even more, eventually get another boat… maybe even build a whole fleet! You could be as wealthy as I am one day!”
The fisherman looked at him and asked, still relaxed, “And then what?”
“Well,” the businessman …More

Teen ‘told his mother he wanted to ‘kill Christians’ before stabbing three people and yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ as Spanish cops shot him’ in Madrid

A suspected terrorist accused of stabbing three people in Madrid before attacking police shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ reportedly told his mum he was on a mission to ‘kill Christians.’
The 18-year-old, a Spaniard of Moroccan origin, remains in hospital after being tasered and shot by anti-terror police when he holed himself up in a flat following the triple stabbing and violently resisted attempts to arrest him.
A judge at
Spain‘s central criminal court is now investigating the incidents on Saturday afternoon as suspected Islamic terrorist crimes.
Cops had told the judge the teenager, who is currently under police guard at Madrid’s Gregorio Maranon Hospital, had told his mother that his mission ‘was to kill Christians’ and that he had to ‘cleanse himself’, according to Spanish newspaper El Espanol.
Other reports said detectives were investigating whether the suspect, who has so far been identified only by his first name Mohammed, had consumed the synthetic …

Oh, but Moslems ARE our friends, and we worship the same God. No. No. No.

At today's press conference, Tucho was asked if his document on monogamy also applies to two homosexuals in a stable relationship. He replied that the Church considers marriage to be an exclusive union between a man and a woman. But: "That does not mean that there are no values in other contexts and that what we say here cannot also apply to other forms of unions. When we talk about patience, respect, etc., that also applies to relationships between friends and other forms of relationship."

“Eminenza, vorrei sapere: questo documento, per persone dello stesso sesso che vivono unioni di monogamia…
Sono esclusi da Una carne?”
Tucho: “Quello non vuol dire che in altri contesti non ci siano dei valori, no?
E che quello che diciamo qua non possa servire anche ad altre forme di unioni.
Quando si parla della pazienza, del rispetto, eccetera eccetera, quello vale anche per un rapporto tra amici, vale per altre forme di rapporto.”

Weasel words.

Escobar also questioned provisions involving the confiscation of Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction. He described such measures as unacceptable to the Kremlin and a likely deal-breaker, adding that only a fifth of the proposed plan acknowledges Russia’s demands, while failing to reflect Moscow’s current battlefield leverage.
It would be unacceptable to anyone. Not just the Kremlin.
This is just another mess from Trump and his administration. Another deception pretending they want peace. Making a peace plan that is worthless, but making sure people see it as a peace plan.

Pepe Escobar trashes ‘pro-Russian’ peace deal draft point-by-point – with RT’s Rick Sanchez (VIDEO)

Key provisions of the document conflict with Moscow’s core interests, according to the analyst
Russia will not accept the US-proposed plan to settle the Ukraine conflict, independent geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar has told RT’s Sanchez Effect.
Speaking with host Rick Sanchez on Monday, Escobar said the proposed deal conflicts with Moscow’s core interests, dismissing several central provisions of the plan as unrealistic from the Russian perspective. These include demands for Russia to withdraw from territories it has added to its constitution, limits on Ukraine’s future military capabilities, and security guarantees modeled on NATO principles.
“You cannot go against your own constitution,” Escobar stated, referring to giving up parts of Russia’s new regions of Kherson and Zaporozhye. He stressed that public support in Russia for the special military operation in Ukraine makes such territorial concessions politically impossible.
The analyst also highlighted widespread Russian distrust …

I thank GOD for two things in this mess Europe and the US has made in Ukraine and Russia.
1. I see the truth of exactly what the Russians say and not the propaganda we get.
2. I hear from people who are actually in Russia keeping communications going and trying to see if there is anything they can do to help and stop the propaganda.
Many people are in and out of Russia. They talk directly to Sergey Lavrov and Maria Zakharova and others in Russia. Larry Johnson I believe may still be in Russia talking to them. As we can see in his article Pepe Escobar is back again. And Rick Sanchez who has a studio in Russia.
They have first hand information from Russia. Not speaking for them. Not twisting what anyone says. Not editing anything. But real conversations as they happen.

Ukraine agrees to ‘core terms’ of US-led peace deal: Official

(NewsNation) — Ukraine and the United States have agreed to a deal to end the four-year war with Russia, with some details still to be worked out, a U.S. official confirmed to NewsNation early Tuesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will head to Washington, D.C., to finalize the agreement at the “earliest suitable date” this month, Ukrainian national security adviser Rustem Umerov announced.
“Our delegations reached a common understanding on the core terms of the agreement discussed in Geneva,” Umerov said on social media.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said there were “a few delicate, but not insurmountable, details” left to work out — and they will require “further talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States.”
The news comes as U.S. officials, led by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, continue to meet with Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi.
“The talks are going well, and we remain optimistic. Secretary Driscoll is closely synchronized with the White …

Vatican Prefect Fernández: Link Between Celibacy and Abuse

At today’s presentation of the sexual psychology document Una caro. Elogio della monogamia, Tucho Fernández linked celibacy with abuse, reports German agency KNA.
A priest cannot expect to fill his feelings of loneliness with another person, he said, noting that this can give rise to abuse: "I have to resolve my feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and psychological problems in other ways."
For decades, many experts have pointed out that there is no evidence that celibate men are more likely to be pedophiles than the general male population. Psychologists and criminologists also emphasize that celibacy itself does not increase the likelihood of pedophilic tendencies [but how about porn?]. Furthermore: Data from Germany indicate that the extent of sexual abuse in Protestant and Catholic institutions is comparable.

Full quote: “Certainly what is said about non-possession also applies to us.
As a priest, I cannot presume to fill my sense of loneliness by using another person. Abuse also comes from there, doesn’t it? From my sense of emptiness, of loneliness.
I should look for other ways, not another person who can satisfy these needs. This also applies to the celibate.”

sp2 . .

If the Vatican took proper proactive measures to stop the abuse, such as knife castration, we would not have to ponder issues as such.
The real reason why these buggers wish to have married priest, like the Orthodox, is so that two homosexual priest can then be married, then freely, without condemnation, pork each other right before saying Liturgy.

"Father Bernard, I want you to reassure me, and then I will be certain! In a vision two years ago I saw you as a man able to stare at the sun without flinching, a courageous man. And I wept because I blush so much - because I am so timid! Good Father, through your kindness I have found a place in your soul, so that now, if you will, you can reveal to me through your word whether you want me to say these things openly or whether I should keep quiet."

‘SELECTED WRITINGS’ – Saint Hildegard of Bingen Translated by Mark Atherton – ‘Letter to Bernard of Clairvaux’; pages 49-50

[HILDEGARD OF BINGEN was born into a noble family in Bermersheim in 1098. At the age of eight her family gave her into the care of a religious noblewoman, Jutta of Spanheim, who took Hildegard with her to become a recluse at the Disibodenberg monastery. Some time between 1112 and 1115, when the monastery became a convent, Hildegard took religious vows.
After Jutta’s death in 1136, Hildegard was elected abbess at Disibodenberg. At this time she started to write about the visions she had been experiencing. Her first work, Scivias, appeared with Papal approval in 1151, just after she had established her own religious community at Rupertsberg, near Bingen. Her collection of religious songs, the Symphonia, appeared in 1158. She then produced a number of other works, including The Book of Life’s Merits (c. 1163), The Book of Divine Works (c. 113), lives of local saints, and various musical, scientific and medical works. She also invented a private language, which formed the basis of two short …More

Overflow With Grace Before The Hour Comes
The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the Lord’s return, not by focusing on our own salvation, but by striving to love God more. This love should be pure and selfless, not driven by personal gain or comparison to others, but by a genuine desire to reciprocate God’s love. By focusing on loving God more, we naturally align ourselves with His will and ensure our readiness for His return.

Leo XIV Turns Secretariat of State into Ever-More Powerful Hub

Leo XIV has released today two documents a new General Regulation of the Roman Curia and a Personnel Regulation about recruitment. They enter into force on 1 January 2026 for a five-year ad experimentum period.
The Personnel Regulation requires Vatican employees to uphold exemplary religious and moral conduct, also in private life. It sets employment rules: six-day work weeks, fixed hours, 26 days of annual leave, monitoring of sick leave, restrictions on part-time work, and bans on employing relatives within the same office.
The General Regulation represents a complete reconstruction of the curial system—administrative structure, documentation regime, digitalization, the rights of the faithful, and a renewed centrality of the Secretariat of State.
End of Latin
The previous obligation to draft acts “as a rule” in Latin disappears. Italian, English, French, and other modern languages may now be used normally.
This will practically mean the abandonment of Latin.
