Big deal.

Russia is also the only country with multiple nuclear-powered heavy icebreakers, including those of the Project 22220 class – the largest in the world, capable of breaking through ice up to three meters thick.
Ice breakers is not the only thing Russia has over the world. But Trump just won't accept that fact. Even as he sees the weapons Russia is using or testing for the world to see that we "do not have" nor close to it. Nor can we duplicate them.

Trump admits Russian icebreaker dominance

It is “ridiculous” that Moscow has 48 vessels while Washington only has one, the president has said
President Donald Trump has admitted the US is far behind Russia in icebreaker capacity, noting that his country has only one vessel of this type compared to dozens operated by Moscow.
Icebreakers are specialized vessels built to break through ice-covered waters, allowing ships to operate in otherwise inaccessible regions such as the Arctic.
“You know, we only have one in the whole country,” Trump said in a call with military service members on Thursday. “Russia has 48, and we have one, and that’s just ridiculous.”
Trump said the US is working to narrow the gap by jointly building 11 vessels with Finland.
“We’re doing them in conjunction with Finland and some other people, and they make… 90% of the icebreakers, so they have great expertise,” he said, without clarifying who the “other people” were. Trump added that he expects the vessels to be delivered “very soon” and plans to …

The Tragedy of the Century

@Henryk Lahola ..Thank you and God Bless you for posting this. Yes, abortion is the Tragedy and crime of the centuries with no sign of slowing down but instead increasing.
"And if one member suffers anything, all the members suffer with it" (1 Cor 12:26) is why all the Church is suffering. The suffering will continue until the end of time unless Catholics stop abortion. Don't depend on apparitions who never preach against abortion...never.

Today, Pope Leo XIV prayed with Orthodox and other schismatic Christians in Nicaea, reciting the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed in English. The Filioque clause was omitted. They prayed that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father".

Commemorating the 1700th Anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea in the place where it occurred, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and His All Holiness Bartholomew of Constantinople, lead Christian leaders in reciting the Nicene Creed in English, omitting the Filioque clause.

Prevost belittles a doctrine that is not his own, it is God's.

sp2 . .

That may be so, but it's high time to come to the understanding that the Graven Sin of a Heretic out weighs the Sin of Schism. Just ask the guys who just went to Scotland.
And ask the SSPX who are still not in full communion, so partially schismatics also.
You'll come to the understanding that being in schism, can be a good thing, although not Legal in the Roman Law.
Additionally, Pope Paul the 6th put in writing that the Sacraments of the Orthodox Church are VALID, because they have an Apostolic Line of Succession.
Something to think about while slug talking the Orthodox.
It's pretty clear that we are living in the end times,
It's best not to be a Heretic.
The other half of the Orthodox, who did not show up, also do not want to be labeled as heretic.
Truly, this is a Spiritual War with the Anti-Christ

Cling to Christ When Confusion Clouds the Church
In a time of confusion and deception, it is crucial to remain grounded in the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic Church. False prophets and the Antichrist will attempt to mislead. By focusing on the signs Jesus provided, such as His return on the Mount of Olives, and staying faithful, it is possible to navigate these challenges. The Church’s trials are necessary for its resurrection, and God will use all events for salvation.

***The First Thanksgiving in North America was Catholic***

***The First Thanksgiving in North America was Catholic***
[From Tradition in Action-The TRUTH about Our Catholic History]
4 minute 42 second video - youtube.com/watch?v=4FguJcXjrSo
On September 8, 1565, Admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and 800 Spanish settlers founded the city of St. Augustine in Spanish La Florida. As soon as they were ashore, the landing party celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving.
[ The word “Eucharist” means “thanksgiving,” and so it is providence that the first Thanksgiving in America was the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. ]
Afterward, Don Menéndez set out a meal and invited the native Seloy tribe to join them in the feast and festival.
The celebrant of the Mass was St. Augustine’s first pastor, Fr. Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales, and the feast day was that of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In his personal chronicle, Fr. Lopez wrote that “the Indians imitated all they saw done.”
What was the meal that followed? From the records of the time, it would …More

Female University Student In Brazil Arrested And Held Without Bail After Telling “Non-Binary” Man To Leave Women’s Restroom

A bathroom at the University of Brasília vandalized by trans activists.
A female university student in Brazil was arrested after telling a male who identifies as “non-binary” to leave the women’s restroom.
According to a press release from the Military Police, the incident occurred at Darcy Ribeiro Campus of the University of Brasília (UnB) on November 11.
Reduxx has reviewed a police report confirming the shocking details of the incident. According to the report, the 19-year-old female student, who Reduxx will not identify due to concerns for her safety, was using the women’s restroom when she saw an older man enter. Uncomfortable with his presence, she confronted him and asked him to leave, telling him that he could not use the women’s facilities because he was “biologically a man.”
The confrontation escalated, and the female student said she left the bathroom to head towards security with the man in pursuit. The two continued to argue and exchange barbs throughout the courtyard …

Theological Audacity and Confusion: On the Marian Document

The following has been contributed to Rorate by a reader.
Two crucial problems with the DDF document deserve to be emphasized.
The first is the document’s woefully impoverished understanding of the current theology of why Mary is Co-redemptrix. This problem is most clearly shown in footnote 32, which describes three positions, all of which rely entirely on Mary’s cooperation with Christ and on her merits.
In the maximalist view, held by St. Maximilian Kolbe, Mary becomes Co-redemptrix ontologically at the Immaculate Conception, prior to any action or merit of Mary’s, when she is made spouse of the Holy Ghost, when the Holy Ghost, who is the Uncreated Immaculate Conception, is united quasi-hypostatically with Mary. This is the language that Kolbe uses. As such, she is Co-redemptrix entirely independently of any of her merits, thus making the document’s subsequent distinction between meriting de congruo and de condigno, on this view, not germane.
The second problem relates to the …

Quote: "The comment in footnote 164 of the document is very strange, not to say ill-informed, claiming that “the arguments that Saint Thomas Aquinas used to explain why only God, and no creature, can confer grace cannot be considered superseded, either within his own work or subsequently.” In other words, “don’t listen to the mature St. Thomas. Don’t listen to Cajetan or Garrigou-Lagrange or any of the great Thomist interpreters of St. Thomas. Stick with St. Thomas’s juvenile position.” Reminds me how my professors in seminary always referred to the "actual Thomas' in opposition to the Thomistic theology of the Scholastics.

Filioque: How Leo XIV Diverges from the Council of Florence

Leo XIV has omitted the Filioque clause in the Creed in September and during his actual visit in Turkey. Historical backgrounds.
Following the ancient Latin and Alexandrian tradition, the Western Church Fathers like Pope Leo I, Augustine, and Ambrose always confessed and explained the filioque.
The biggest disbute over the filioque was at the Council of Florence (1438–39). There, the Latins cited the numerous Greek Fathers to demonstrate that they also believed that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.
The leader of the opposing Greek delegation was Archbishop Mark Eugenikos of Ephesus. He maintained the heresy that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father alone. His side accepted the phrase “through the Son” only in the sense of manifestation, not origin.
A turning point of the council came when Johannes von Ragusa showed an ancient codex brought from Constantinople by the philosopher–cardinal Nicholas of Cusa. It contained Basil the Great’s Against Eunomius (…More

George Galloway has been elected to parliament seven times, and on many issues is one of the most conservative politicians in the U.K. But when he criticized the Ukraine war, he was detained by British police and had his property confiscated. He’s now in exile.
This is a must see interview. If several times elected politician and well known broadcaster George Galloway can be detained and forced into exile for his safety, what can a corrupt government do, and is doing, to the little guy like you and me?
Galloway is a British politician, writer and broadcaster. He has been the leader of two parties: the Workers Party of Britain and the Respect Party.

Something incredible: Russian warships approached the shores of Venezuela — Saks: EADaily

Russian warships are off the coast of Venezuela, declaring the geopolitical intentions of the Russian Federation. This was stated on the YouTube channel by Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs.
"We are now witnessing something incredible happening in the Caribbean that would have been unthinkable just 10 years ago. Russian warships arrived in the waters of Venezuela not to enter the port, but to declare their geopolitical intentions. It's not just about the demonstration of military equipment or naval maneuvers - we are witnessing a fundamental restructuring of forces in the hemisphere, which the United States took for granted," said Sachs.
As reported by

Moscow Patriarchate Not Invited to Ecumenical Prayer in Nicaea

Today, at the site of ancient Nicaea, Pope Leo XIV joined around 27 other leaders of Christian communities to commemorate the 1700 anniversary of the first Council. Leo XIV thanked the Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, for his "great wisdom and foresight" in calling for Church leaders to celebrate this important anniversary together.
However, Patriarch Kyrill of Moscow was not invited to the ecumenical prayer.
Cardinal Kurt Koch told CruxNow.com ahead of the liturgy: "The Catholics have invited Catholics and the Orthodox invite Orthodox". He added that he respects the "decision of the Orthodox" not to invite the world’s largest Orthodox group.

Russian policy seemingly contrary to neo-Western LGBTism does not exist for moral reasons but for strategic reasons: to maintain social stability at home in preparation for a military buildup for future conflict with the West, and abroad to deceive naïve Western conservatives into supporting the camouflaged Soviet axis of evil, which is portrayed as morally and intellectually superior.

Controlled opposition’s use of the strategic alibi

By Timothy Fitzpatrick
July 16, 2025 Anno Domini
When most people think of an alibi, they tend to think of someone who can vouch for another in defense against wrongful prosecution. Alibis can also be used to protect guilty persons as well but requires the alibi’s complicity in the deception.
But an alibi can be something other than a person.
In the popular 1992 movie Basic Instinct, actress Sharon Stone plays a killer (Catherine Tramell) who uses her novel writing as a clever alibi. She meticulously carries out a murder in the exact way one of her characters does in one of her novels. When the police question her, she uses the alibi defense.
“I’d have to be pretty stupid to write a book about killing…and then kill somebody the way I described it in my book,” Tramell says scoffingly.
However, few realize that alibis are regularly used for propaganda purposes, especially today, decades after the Soviet strategists reformatted their tactics to focus on controlled opposition.
How it …
