Practically overnight, the UK government remembered that its country had borders. Over the weekend, Labour home secretary Shabana Mahmood promised that she would introduce sweeping reforms to the nation’s asylum and immigration system, and that she would put a stop to the “golden ticket” currently being offered by Britain’s “excessively generous” system. That includes making refugee status temporary, immediately returning refugees whose countries become safe, restricting family reunion along financial and English-proficiency lines, and imposing a 20-year wait for those who arrived illegally to apply for permanent residency. Currently, migrants are entitled to benefits and to remain in the UK unconditionally after spending just five years here. According to Mahmood, this is what is needed to fix the country’s “broken” system, which is “tearing Britain apart.” If successful, they will mark the most dramatic overhaul since the Second World War. Mahmood’s plans are remarkably sensible …
Saint Agnes of Assisi | Sister, Follower & Poor Clare | Catechism for Kids (November 16th) St Joseph's Corner What if your older sister decided to give her whole life to Jesus — and you felt called to follow her? In this episode of Catechism for Kids, we’ll discover the beautiful life of Saint Agnes of Assisi, the younger sister of Saint Clare and one of the first members of the Poor Clares. Born around 1197, Agnes came from a noble family. When her sister Clare left everything behind to follow Saint Francis and live a life of prayer and poverty, Agnes bravely joined her — even when their family tried to pull her away. Her courage, gentleness, and deep love for Jesus helped shape the growing community of the Poor Ladies. Agnes later became an abbess and served her sisters with joy, humility, and generosity. Her life teaches us that God often calls families to walk together in holiness. Topics we’ll cover: Who Saint Agnes of Assisi was Her close relationship with Saint Clare …More
Sant' Agnese di Assisi Vergine Festa: 16 novembre Assisi, Perugia, 1197 - 16 novembre 1253 Caterina di Favarone di Offreduccio, sorella di Chiara, nasce in Assisi(Perugia)nel 1197.A quindici anni volle seguire la sorella e abbracciò l’ideale di povertà francescana. Resistette con forza sovrumana alle lusinghe, alle minacce e alle percosse dei parenti che volevano distoglierla dal suo proposito. Dopo essere rimasta per circa dieci anni a San Damiano, fu mandata come abbadessa a Firenze, nel monastero di Monticelli. Guidò le sorelle con prudenza e amore, dando per prima l’esempio di austera povertà e di operosità. Ebbe anche il conforto di consolazioni e visioni celesti. Ritornata ad Assisi, assistette alla morte della sorella e si spense poco dopo, il 16 novembre 1253. Benedetto XIV la dichiarò santail 6 novembre 1751, confermandone l’antichissimo culto. Il suo corpo riposa nella basilica di Santa Chiara. Etimologia: Agnese = pura, casta, dal greco Martirologio Romano: Ad Assisi in …More
17.11.2025 THE EUROPEAN SYNOD IS NOT ALIGNED WITH AQUINAS. WILL MULLER RESIGN ? LUMEN GENTIUM 16 IS THEORETICAL IRRESPECTIVE OF THE POPE Being saved in invincible ignorance (LG 16) with a good conscience is a theoretical case in 2025-2026. This is irrespective of the pope. It is irrespective if the pope interprets it as being explicit and not implicit. It is always implicit. It is always invisible, I repeat, so the theoretical axis in the Catholic Church has changed. We have returned to the old theology. For the liberals and the Lefebvrists LG 16 was a physically visible case. They implied this. So LG 16 was projected as an objective example of salvation outside the Church. It made the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) obsolete. There were alleged practical exceptions. So it was reasoned wrongly (with a false premise) that if Vatican Council II would change the dogma EENS, then all faith and morals could be changed. LG 16 IMPLICIT IS TRADITIONAL But when LG 16 is implicit it is …More
2M 6:18-31 "I’m suffering it with joy in my soul because of my devotion to the Lord." Let us live each day in joy. This is a good practice for the more difficult, painful moments. Lk 19:1-10 Jesus says: "Zacchaeus, come down quickly; for today I must stay at your house." Let us replace Zacchaeus's name with our own: "(Name), come down quickly; today I must stay at your house." Jesus is really saying: (Name), come down quickly within yourself, in peace and joy; I am in your house, in your heart. With this joy and peace, my Love will touch the hearts of those around you.

Michael J. Matt on this post on November 14: “I am told that whomever is running the X account for Archbishop Vigano has announced that I blocked His Excellency as though this were some unprovoked hot flash on my part. In fact, whomever is running Archbishop Vigano‘s X account, left off the context. Today, though I have not heard from Archbishop Vigano in many months, an infantile and sacrilegious AI image of Cardinal Burke on a big wheel toy bike showed up on my Twitter feed from Archbishop Vigano’s X account. It is difficult for me to believe that His Excellency would tolerate such an immature and unchristian assault on a Cardinal of the Catholic Church, so I can only assume that His Excellency’s X account has either been hacked or it is in the hands of a malicious actor who is trying to discredit Archbishop Vigano. Either way, I will not be taking communications from any account that is responsible for such sacrilegious and childish behavior. Archbisho Vigano has my personal cell p
Think science and faith are incompatible? It’s a common myth that science and faith contradict each other. These 15 people prove that Catholics can make great scientists.

In a brief interview with the Washington Post, Cardinal Krajewski, the Vatican’s point-person for the event who oversaw its organisation, rejected any suggestion of an intentional snub toward the transgender activists. He said that places at the top table “were given to poor parishioners who had attended an earlier Eucharist”, while the transgender-activists arrived later for the event and “sat elsewhere”. He explained further that the spots for the Pope’s table this year had been handed out randomly to the poor parishioners. “The Church is open to everyone,” he said. “It’s not about [the Pope] meaning to carry on this outreach. They [the activists] came because they’re an integral part of the Church, that is all.”
Among the 1,300 guests at today's "Lunch for the Poor" event in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall were 48 transvestites. Many of them get money as homosexual prostitutes. As Leo XIV entered, one transvestite handed him an image of Our Lady. The Pope accepted it and moved to his table to address the crowd. Unlike in previous years, there were no transvestites seated at the main table with the Pope. Transvestite "Alessia" Nobile told WashingtonPost.com that he had managed to give a letter to Leo XIV: "The fact that he mingled with us and sat close to us is a good sign, right?" Curia Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who oversaw the organisation of the event, attempted to present the seating plan as a purely logistical decision. He claimed that places at the top table were given to poor parishioners who had attended an earlier Eucharist, while the transvestites arrived later and sat elsewhere. #newsYfuuupaion

The quoted excerpt comes from yesterday’s article on tkp.at: The world’s biggest false religion: vaccines.Source. In the Rebecca Weiss podcast, Nicolas Hulscher and Dr. Peter McCullough discuss the health problems caused by the increasing frequency of vaccinations. There is neither solid evidence for the safety and efficacy of individual vaccines nor for the vaccination marathon now recommended for children, which involves over 70 doses.
