[Blaise Pascal – XVII Century AD; Clermont-Ferrand, France/Paris, France; Mathematics/Physics/Theology] “16. Eloquence is an art of saying things in such a way (1) that those to whom we speak may listen to them without pain and with pleasure; (2) that they feel themselves interested, so that self-love leads them more willingly to reflection upon it. It consists, then, in a correspondence which we seek to establish between the head and the heart of those to whom we speak, on the one hand, and, on the other, between the thoughts and the expressions which we employ. This assumes that we have studied well the heart of man so as to know all its powers and, then, to find the just proportions of the discourse which we wish to adapt to them. We must put ourselves in the place of those who are to hear us, and make trial on our own heart of the turn which we give to our discourse in order to see whether one is made for the other, and whether we can assure ourselves that the hearer will be, as it …More
On November 6, Infovaticana.com published an audio recording about the handling of abuse allegations against Peruvian priest Eleuterio Vásquez González, also known as "Padre Lute." The case was overseen by Bishop Robert Prevost of Chiclayo at the time, who is now Pope Leo XIV. The recording is from a pastoral/legal meeting held on April 23, 2025, aimed at resolving the case. It contains a dialogue between the diocesan investigator, Father Giampiero Gambaro, an Italian-born canon lawyer, and the victims and their legal representative. Father Gambaro encouraged the victims to accept a resolution without a canonical trial. He proposed that Father Lute quietly request a dispensation from the clerical state instead. He mentioned that Padre Lute had admitted to touching the girls aged nine and eleven. Improper Case Closure Father Gambaro admitted that the ecclesiastical investigation lacked serious interviews, examinations of places or evidence, and substantial questioning of the accused …More
Covering up for a pedophile priest who abuses Catholic children is not a simple act of negligence, it is a crime and also a grave sin of malice. Prevost not only covered up for the pedophile priest, but he also brazenly lied to and persecuted the priest who defended the victims. Here we can see his complete malice and treachery.
The author reflects on transitioning from always being the “young one” to entering middle age at 43. While aging has been challenging to accept, she chooses to embrace it through her Catholic faith. With her children now older, she focuses on mentoring younger moms, serving her community, and using her home and resources to bless others. She values caring for her health, sees dignity in natural aging, and avoids anti-aging procedures. Remaining rooted in her church and community, she hopes to become a source of wisdom and support as she grows older, viewing aging as a spiritual calling and opportunity to serve.

NOVEMBER 7 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 16,1-8. Jesus said to his disciples, "A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property. He summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward.' The steward said to himself, 'What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me? I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes.' He called in his master's debtors one by one. To the first he said, 'How much do you owe my master?' He replied, 'One hundred measures of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty.' Then to another he said, 'And you, how much do you owe?' He replied, 'One hundred kors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Here is your …More
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes Here’s how the kept Covid vaccine injury stats down. Hospitals were firing people who entered vaccine injury data onto VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System which doctors are required by law to do ‘Deb Conrad, PA, was fired mid-shift for doing her legal duty-reporting Covid vaccine injuries to VAERS. She was physically thrown out of the hospital for telling the truth about suppressed data.’ “I was fired for reporting COVID vaccine adverse events under the emergency use authorization to the VAERS system, which is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. I was required to do this by law — I talked about all the side effects and the suppression of the reporting that was going on. Two weeks after, without warning, I was surrounded in the middle of my shift. I had been actively seeing patients on the floor. They surrounded me and then literally threw me out of the hospital.“

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò published on October 18, 2025 a photograph of two of the Transalpine Redemptorists with him.
Thank you, Archbishop Vigano, for your faithfulness to the Catholic Faith -- As in the days of St. Athanasius, "they" have the buildings but - you and many others who have woken up to this apostasy have the FAITH!
The Archbishop is no longer in hiding, it seems. He's come out of his cubby-hole into the light of day. Now, if he'll forsake and repent of his sedevacantism he just might make some progress.

The Democrats won everything because the Church kept quiet. Now abortion and trans garbage will flourish. The bishops care more about illegal aliens than they do about morality.

There are three hundred and two hundred casualties everywhere. Nowhere to go. Seven days without food. No water, no food." The Russian Ministry of Defense publishes a video of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants who voluntarily surrendered in Krasnoarmeysk. The prisoners said that the number of wounded in the city is increasing every day, but it is impossible to provide them with help because there are no medical supplies. "No food, no medical supplies, nothing. Maybe someone got some somewhere, but definitely not everyone. So the options are either to surrender, die of starvation, or from a mine. Well, the only prospect is to lie in the ground," said the captured Ukrainian serviceman Yuriy Dovganyuk.
Poor Grandpa. What are they doing to the people of Ukraine is sick and evil. They care nothing for life at all. He looks very old and tired and cold. But he will be very well taken care of now. Especially being he is so old. He is talking about drones when he says birds fly. They will spot the deserters and then kill them. Men, women and children. Doesn't matter.
