Archbishop presents sexual morality as an “ideal” instead of “rules to follow” at current Vatican meeting. At Leo XIV’s meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe of Perth, Australia called for “a shift in the Church’s culture” in his October 9 address. Discussing contemporary attitudes toward sexuality, he stated that “the concept of a necessary link between sexual activity and procreation, […] is no longer widely understood or accepted.” Archbishop Costelloe advocated presenting the Church’s theology of marital intimacy as “an ideal worth striving for rather than as a list of rules and regulations to be followed.” He repeated his point: “Presenting ideals to work towards rather than rules to follow is more likely to win people over and enable them to see the values which underpin those rules and regulations.” Monsignor Costelloe stated that young couples living together before marriage are “falling short of the ideal of Chistian marriage,”…More
The Mountains of Ararat Where the Ark Rested and the First Christian Nation Was Born For nearly two thousand years, the Christian world has looked toward the majestic peaks of Mount Ararat as the resting place of Noah’s Ark. According to the Book of Genesis, after the waters of the Flood receded, “the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat” (Genesis 8:4). That mountain — known to Armenians as Masis — stands today inside the borders of modern but still muslim country know under name Turkey. Yet for a long and decisive period of history it belonged to the Armenian Christian people, the first nation on earth to embrace the Gospel as the faith of an entire kingdom. The Mountains of Ararat
Rache? Trump schließt Diesel-Deal mit Putin und droht Selenskyj mit Informationsstopp US-Präsident Trump einigte sich (wie berichtet) mit dem russischen Präsidenten Putin auf die Lieferung von insgesamt bis zu 4,8 Millionen Tonnen Diesel an den amerikanischen und globalen Markt, nachdem der ukrainische Präsident Selenskyj mehrfach Bitten ignoriert hatte, die Angriffe auf russische Ölraffinerien einzustellen. Ein US-Beamter erklärte dazu: „Selenskyj schätzt die Situation falsch ein. Indem er weiterhin Raffinerien angreift, untergräbt er das Wohwollen, das er in den letzten sechs Monaten bei Trump aufgebaut hat.“ (...) Selenskyj hatte eine gegenseitige Einstellung der Angriffe vorgeschlagen, wenn Russland die Schläge gegen ukrainische Kraftwerke stoppe, doch Washington forderte ein einseitiges Ende der ukrainischen Drohnenangriffe, da diese auch US-Verbraucher belasteten. Während der Gespräche in Miami drohten Trumps Gesandte laut ukrainischen Angaben mit einer möglichen Einstellung …More

She founded the Congregation of Mothers of the Helpless, and had a profound devotion to St. Joseph, including having Church approved private apparitions of him. She built the first Sanctuary dedicated to him in Spain, the very beautiful Royal Sanctuary of St. Joseph of the Mountain, visited by countless pilgrims annually. --- The Missionary …More

‘The Catholic Church - the Teacher of Mankind’ ~ Imprimatur, 1905 ~ ‘The Teachings of the Saints In Their Own Words’ ~ By a Parish Priest; Love of God; part II; pages 7-8 Love of God To love God! oh, how beautiful it is! We must be in Heaven to comprehend love. Prayer helps us a little, because prayer is the elevation of the soul to Heaven. The more we know men, the less we love them. It is the reverse with God; the more we know of Him the more we love Him. This knowledge inflames the soul with such a love that it can no longer love or desire anything but God ... Man was created by love; therefore he is disposed to love. On the other hand, he is so great that nothing on earth can satisfy him. He can be satisfied only when he turns to God. Take a fish out of water, and it will not live ...Well, such is man without God. -------- St. Cure d'Ars One day, while conversing with St. Bonaventure, Blessed Giles said to him: "My Father, God has shown you great mercy, and loaded you with many graces …More
"O my sweet Love, who shall prevent me from loving Thee? Shall it be my body? Rather will I reduce it to dust. Shall it be my past sins? I will immerse them in the sea of Thy Blood, and after that, behold my body and soul, make me suffer whatever it may please Thee in order to annihilate them in such a manner that they may be no obstacle to my loving Thee. -------- St. John Eudes"

You can be sure that in his raging anger he would send out his army to destroy the servant, because his action had struck him to the very core. But if the servant came in fear and pleaded for mercy before the whole army, and fell down in tears at the feet of his lord, then the lord in his goodness, and because of the plea, would preserve his life and return …More
"The same goes for the man who seduces and hurts a bride of the eternal King. In righteous anger the King proclaims his judgement and delivers him to destruction, wishing, because of this deed, to remove the deceiver out of his sight. But if the miscreant, anticipating the day of his fall from favour, humbly pleads with God’s elect to intercede for his acquittal, and if he looks in tears to the humanity of his Redeemer in order that through the Lord’s mercy he may be acquitted of his sin, then the King will pay heed to the blood that was shed for the salvation of humanity."
