Oh, Tom, I love this. It is so, so true. We could benefit, perhaps, in those hard moments by going into our rooms, closing the door, getting on our knees and begging Our Blessed Mother for the right things to say and to help us be the kind of Mother she is.

“Pope Francis was like a second father to me, and I still miss him deeply,” said his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, 56, in an interview with Corriere.it on April 19. Francis hated hospital stays and joked whenever he had to go to Gemelli Hospital: “You’ll see—the cardinals are preparing the conclave now.” “Every morning when he woke up, he would ask me, ‘Hello, who died today?’ That was just how he was,” Strappetti recalled. One day, Strappetti told Francis that he was divorced and living with another woman. The pope replied: “And what’s the problem?” He then asked: “Do they let you receive Communion? If not, tell me the names of those priests who refuse - I’ll go speak to them myself!” For Strappetti, Francis was a “surprising” pope. #newsAzcbcontal
Prominent Vatican journalists Edward Pentin and Diane Montagna decried the Vatican’s recent reception and celebration of the Anglican female “archbishop” of Canterbury as scandalous and “absurd.” Montagna on Monday quoted from Pope Leo XIV’s address to Sarah Mullally in which he referred to “new problems” that “have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion” between the Catholic Church and Anglicans “more difficult to discern.” “Of course, chief among these new problems is the fact that a woman dressed in liturgical attire is now being passed off – and celebrated by the Vatican and even by the Pope – as someone who seemingly has valid Orders when she doesn’t – first because she’s a woman and second because she’s an Anglican,” Montagna wrote. She highlighted the fact that Archbishop Flavio Pace, Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, had gone so far as to “bow” before her and make the Sign of the Cross “as though receiving a real …
There's no question about it, the same Vatican that WON’T evangelize jews and any other false religions, as they opose "religious proselytism", the same Vatican who abandoned the real Catholic Church in China to embrace the chinese communist party's false church, the same Vatican who stands proudly with the celebrated female bishop of the UK, WILL excommunicate the FSSPX. What will you do? I understand, it’s not like we can burn tires and throw stones like some people do in countries around the world, perhaps NOT even a march of protest will turn false prophet Leo's decision, but 1st things first... Can an antipope excommunicate? Can a false prophet push your faith away? Can a promoter if beautiful lies cast you out from the grasp of our Lord? Exactly! Leo has no power to eclipse your strong faith, but the thing he can do is to make you suffer. Embrace such suffering, welcome it, walk towards the desert WILLINGLY... DO NOT frown, do not call him names even if it is impossible, I know,…ተጨማሪ

29.04.2026 COULD THE SSPX GET A COURT ORDER TO STOP THE EXCOMMUNICATION ? : FERNANDEZ INTERPRETS VC 2 IRRATIONALLY.COERCES OTHERS TO DO THE SAME Cardinal Fernandez confuses implicit cases of LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA2 , GS 22 etc as being explicit exceptions for the dogma EENS etc. This is irrational. He wants the SSPX to follow this irrational interpretation of the Council to avoid excommunication. This is coercion and deception. This is also a secular issue. Could the SSPX get a court order to stop the excommunication citing the dishonest interpretation of Vatican Council II by Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, Prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith? Similarly Bishop Peter Libasci and Fr. Georges de Laire, in the diocese of Manchester in New Hampshire, USA were dishonest on Vatican Council II, interpreting what was implicit as being explicit, with the approval of the DDF (CDF).This was when a case was filed by Laire against Michael Voris of Church Militant TV.…ተጨማሪ
Home » Architecture » Before and After: St. Frances Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin Conrad Schmitt Studios have provided us with yet another 'before and after' project, this time coming out of the parish church of St. Francis Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The present church building was originally constructed in the year 1870 and over the century it underwent at least two renovations; one around the mid-century period, and another following the Second Vatican Council. In the mid-century period it obtained a renovation which essentially modified the church's altars and decoration programme to something more akin to the fads and fashions of the twentieth century liturgical movement; what came in the latter part of the twentieth century was far more radical with decorative paintwork being white-washed over, altars stripped out, and the sanctuary ordering completely changed. That is the particular face of the church that constitutes what came immediately before the restorative works …

Tuesday, April 29th, 1913 Was Victim of Murder Lured Off on Joy Ride Before She Met Death? Evidence gathered by Detectives Black and Rosser on Monday afternoon has led the detective department to suspect that Mary Phagan was lured away by her killer on Saturday afternoon under the promise of a joy ride, during which she may have been drugged or made drunk with whisky. This new development came from R. B. Pyron, a telegraph operator at the signal tower on the Central of Georgia Railroad at the Whitehall Street crossing.

[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] Revelation 6 ~ The sixth revelation in the Book of Questions in which Christ speaks to his bride, blessed Bridget, and instructs her, saying that in the spiritual life peace of mind and eternal glory are won through vigorous struggle and perseverance and humble acquiescence in the advice of an elder and by bravely resisting temptations. He offers the example of Jacob who became a servant in order to win Rachel. He says that some people experience the greatest temptations at the beginning of a conversion to the spiritual life, others in the middle or toward the end. It is therefore necessary to have a holy fear and humble perseverance in the virtues and in the struggle until the very end. The Son speaks: ”It is written that Jacob became a servant for the sake of Rachel, and the days seemed short to him due to his great love, for the greatness of his love …ተጨማሪ
"But once the commandment was transgressed, there immediately arose a sense of shame, just as happens to people who sin against their temporal lord, who are even ashamed of the very limbs with which they have sinned. Along with shame over the transgression, there also sprang up a disordered impulse, especially in the reproductive organs. Yet, in order that this impulse might not be unproductive, it was by God's goodness turned to good, and the act of carnal union was established by divine commandment in order that nature might bear its fruits."
"Answer to the first question. The Judge answered: ”O friend, I preferred to be born of a virgin rather than of a woman who was not a virgin, because that which is purest befits me who am God most pure. While it remained in the order of its creation, human nature had no deformity."
