“PREFACE
THIS TREATISE, STYLED THE INTERIOR CASTLE, WAS WRITTEN BY TERESA OF JESUS, NUN OF OUR LADY OF CARMEL, FOR HER SISTERS AND DAUGHTERS, THE DISCALCED CARMELITE NUNS.
RARELY has obedience laid upon me so difficult a task as this of writing about prayer; for one reason, because I do not feel that God has given me either the power or the desire for it, besides which, during the last three months I have suffered from noises and a great weakness in my head that have made it painful for me to write even on necessary business.
However, as I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible, my will submits with a good grace, although nature seems greatly distressed, for God has not given me such strength as to bear, without repugnance, the constant struggle against …More

Tucho: From Now On, ‘Co-Redemptrix’ Not Allowed in Liturgy or Vatican Documents

Cardinal Tucho Fernández clarified his November 4 clarification Mater Populi Fidelis on the Marian title Co-Redemptrix. He was asked about it by DianeMontagna.Substack.com after Tuesday’s press conference.
Regarding his formulation that “it is always inappropriate” to use the title Co-Redemptrix, Tucho claimed now that it is "not meant to judge the past". However, "from now on" it will not be used "either in the liturgy, that is, in liturgical texts, or in the official documents of the Holy See", he believes.
"If you, together with your group of friends, believe you understand well the true meaning of this expression, have read the document, and see that its positive aspects are also affirmed there, and you wish to express precisely that within your prayer group or among friends, you may use the title—but it will not be used officially, that is, either in liturgical texts or in official documents."
Tucho’s problem is "not its underlying doctrine", but the term itself that risks "…More

"As there were false prophets in the past history of our people, so you too will have your false teachers, who will teach their own disruptive views and
disown the Master who purchased their freedom. They will destroy themselves very quickly; but there will be many who will copy their shameful behavior and the Way of Truth will be brought into disrepute on their account".

The brain drain from Starmer's socialist chaos: Record 110,051 seek asylum but Britons leave in droves

The brain drain from Starmer's socialist chaos: Record 110,051 seek asylum but Britons leave in droves
Britain is facing a new 'brain drain' that threatens to add to the pain of
Rachel Reeves' disastrous Budget.
Official figures on Thursday revealed an exodus of young Britons while asylum seekers now make up nearly half of net migration.
As Ms Reeves struggles with her drive for growth, such stark changes risk putting even more strain on the public purse and dragging down the economy yet further, experts warn.
Taxpayers face footing an 'intolerable burden' to support migrants arriving here, they said, while this week's Budget is likely to drive away even more young people.
Overall net migration – the difference between those arriving to live long-term in the UK minus those emigrating – plummeted to 204,000 in the year to June, the Office for National Statistics said, on the back of a series of tough Tory measures.
But the number of asylum seekers coming to Britain has surged to a …

Book of Daniel 7,2-14.
In a vision I, Daniel, saw during the night, the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea,
from which emerged four immense beasts, each different from the others.
The first was like a lion, but with eagle's wings. While I watched, the wings were plucked; it was raised from the ground to stand on two feet like a man, and given a human mind.
The second was like a bear; it was raised up on one side, and among the teeth in its mouth were three tusks. It was given the order, "Up, devour much flesh."
After this I looked and saw another beast, like a leopard; on its back were four wings like those of a bird, and it had four heads. To this beast dominion was given.
After this, in the visions of the night I saw the fourth beast, different from all the others, terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength; it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed, and what was left it trampled with its feet.

Locals in the village of Morcá, Colombia, were left stunned after an image resembling the face of the Virgin Mary appeared on the side of a mountain. Residents say the formation emerged around three months ago when part of the rock naturally broke away, but many believe the likeness is a sign of Mary’s presence and protection. Since photos and videos went viral, crowds of pilgrims and curious visitors have been traveling to the site, praying and leaving flowers. Others remain skeptical, calling it a coincidence or natural pattern in the rock.

Toutefois, peu après il préféra se tourner vers la théologie, et s’en alla à Padoue, malgré le désaccord avec ses parents qui n’approuvaient pas la nouvelle orientation de ses études. Malgré cette hostilité, il fut ordonné prêtre en 1217 et devint chanoine attaché à la cathédrale.
Assistant un jour aux funérailles d’un homme illustre, son parent, et considérant dans le cercueil découvert le cadavre hideux de cet homme autrefois remarquable par sa beauté, il se dit : « Je suis aujourd’hui ce qu’il fut ; un jour je serai ce qu’il est ». Aussitôt il quitta tout et se retira dans un désert où il s’adonna à la pénitence et à la méditation. Au XIIIe siècle, alors …

Su-30SM2 Destroys Patriot System — A Historic First in Modern Air Warfare
The battlefield just witnessed something no military analyst expected — and no Western defense system was ever supposed to allow. Russia’s newest multirole fighter, the Su-30SM2, has reportedly destroyed a Ukrainian MIM-104 Patriot system… the very same Patriot that was designed to shoot down aircraft like the Su-30, not fall victim to them.
In this special in-depth report, we break down one of the most dramatic and consequential moments of the war. Backed by fresh statements from Rostec and new Su-30SM2 deliveries to the Russian Navy, this incident marks a historic first: a Western long-range air defense system taken out by a fighter jet — not a hypersonic Kinzhal, not an Iskander ballistic missile, but a manned aircraft flying directly into a contested air defense zone.
How did the Su-30SM2 pull this off? What electronic warfare tricks did the jet use? Why did the Patriot’s defenses fail? And what does this …More

Thank you Pierre. You did it again. Letting others know what is going on and the truth. The people need to see what is actually going on because there are others who don't want that to happen. I can't post everything I see and hear. Nor do I wish to do that. So with people like you, we can get out as much truth as we can so the people aren't duped into thinking our countries are so powerful. When they are far from it.

Leo XIV in Turkey: "All Brothers - Despite Different Religions"

Pope Leo XIV began today his first foreign trip, to Turkey and then Lebanon. During the flight to Ankara, he spoke about the importance of peace, adding that all men and women to truly be brothers and sisters: "Despite our differences, despite our different religions and beliefs, we are all brothers and sisters, and I hope to play a part in promoting peace and unity throughout the world."
Speaking to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the country’s diplomatic corps, Leo XIV praised Turkey’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, at the crossroads of religions and cultures.
He quoted his predecessor, Pope Francis, as saying that the wars ravaging the world today amount to a "third world war fought piecemeal". "We are now experiencing a phase marked by a heightened level of global conflict," he said. "We must not give in to this! The future of humanity is at stake."

There is no way to reconcile that with Islamic doctrine, or with the Koran. L14 is merely showing that he is - or his advisers are - ignorant of Islam. He and they have no right be so ignorant. He has no right to pontificate on matters he knows nothing of.
