"(33) So the enemy made up his mind against her and aroused some people of high status in the world who secretly asked her to please agree to go and stay in their house in the company of one of their lonely little daughters, and said that if it was necessary to obtain permission from the pope or from anyone else, she should not doubt that all which was necessary to the health of the soul and the body would be provided her better than she could know how to ask for it.. She did not consent to all these promises, but stayed firmly and constantly in the aforementioned place with full faith that she was still established in the cloister under the Rule of St. Clare. And so it was."
[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (28) After some more time had passed in such poverty, the enemy of all those who have set foot on earth appeared again. This time he came in the appearance of the Virgin Mary with her little Son in her arms. He addressed her and spoke thus, scolding her: “You have not wished to abandon your wicked self-love, and I will not give you the virtuous love that is my little Son’s.” And having said this, he disappeared like a person who was upset. And she, thinking that it was the Mother of Christ, pondered very bitterly, believing that she was estranged from her and her Son. (29) Now let the listener think into what mortal weakness and sadness of heart this led her, so much that she could scarcely hold herself upright, so much that many times she would have despaired if she had not known well that the worst sin that can be is that of despair, and also because the divine …Hiroc’h
Cardinal Tucho Fernández repeated to VaticanNews.va on May 6 that the German “blessing guide” for homosexuals and other couples in mortal sin does not have Vatican approval. The pro-homosexual cardinal is a soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. He stated that a letter he sent in November 2024 regarding an earlier draft of the German bishops’ blessing guidelines remains fully applicable to the final version approved in April 2025. The German bishops’ document in question is titled Blessing Gives Strength to Love. They falsely claimed Vatican support for their guidelines. The Vatican’s release of the November 2024 letter was “in agreement with Pope Leo XIV.” “That letter is the only and final response,” Tucho told Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, chairman of the German bishops’ liturgy commission, during a meeting in the Vatican on November 12, 2025. Tucho explained that although the final German text differs somewhat from the original draft …Hiroc’h
By refuting the formal ritual of the pseudo-blessing of sodomitic concubines—devised by the schismatic German apostates—Tucho reaffirms his own sacrilegious and "informal" pseudo-blessing for sodomitic concubines; while it might appear that he is taking a step backward, in reality he is moving forward by reaffirming his own pseudo-blessing.

07.05.2026 TRUMP AND THE IRANIAN PROBLEM I was a Staff Reporter at the daily Morning News, Karachi, Pakistan, for about 12 years in the 1980’s.I had worked as a Stringer Sports Reporter, part time, for the newspaper and then was apprenticed to the Sports Editor,HMS Baig, before I joined them.I was not content there and switched to the City Desk. The City Editor Iqbal Mirza appreciated my work and I was happy with my ‘beats’. The work was meaningful Some of the things I remember were my in- depth reports on the pharmaceutical companies dumping banned drugs in the country. This led to the government banning Clioquinol. The multinational company stopped its sale. Then there were a series of reports with Latafat Ali Siddiqui on the sale of marijuana and other narcotics in the city. Other newspapers picked it up. The drugs were not available in the city for some time. I remember being at St. Patrick’s High School one evening talking to the priests I knew there, when there was a loud blast …Hiroc’h

Matthew McCusker Thu May 8, 2025 Both liberals and traditionalists are often under the false impression that the infallible exercise of the Church’s teaching authority is something which occurs only rarely. Painting of the First Vatican Council, 1870 Editor’s note: Despite the recent death of Francis the debate over his claim to the papacy remains of importance if we are to understand recent events, and prepare for what happens next. For this reason, LifeSiteNews will continue to publish the remaining installments of this series. We ask our readers to pray for the repose of Francis’s soul. All those things are to be believed with divine and Catholic faith which are contained in the Word of God, written or handed down, and are proposed by the Church either by a solemn judgment or by her ordinary and universal magisterium to be believed as divinely revealed.

For this year's Catholic Education Week, the Ottawa Catholic District School Board came together to celebrate Mass at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica and hand out 36 awards for Excellence in Catholic Education. All 36 winners are listed on the school board website. We ask: Where is the excellence in Catholic education? The exercise is more to do with PR than true Catholic awards. The Board says, "This year’s theme, Pilgrims of Hope: On the Path to Holiness, focused on who we are as a community and how we move forward together." Archbishop Marcel Damphousse was present along with staff, families and colleagues. The board has even published a booklet about the winners. But where is the hope and the holy place? A more appropriate title would be "Pilgrims of Secularism." The awards claim to be about putting Catholic education in action, building the community and inspiring futures. But what does this actually mean? We're told, "The recipients reflect the very best of our system. They create …
During Catholic Education Week, the Ottawa Catholic District School Board handed out 36 “Excellence in Catholic Education” awards. Yet critics say the event reflected secular activism more than authentic Catholic identity. Many award recipients were recognized for equity and inclusion initiatives, while Ontario’s Catholic teachers’ union is currently developing 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion curriculum for all elementary grades, including kindergarten.

Our Lady’s prayers are so powerful! e.l.f Cosmetics co-founder Deacon Scott Borba will be ordained a priest on May 23, 2026, in the Diocese of Fresno, California. Deacon Borba is a former esthetician, actor, model, author, and singer who gave up his multimillion-dollar career to answer a call to the priesthood. He spent over 20 years working in the health and beauty industry, and donated all of his wealth to charity after answering a lifelong call to the priesthood at the age of 42. According to Angelus News, Borba said God called him to the priesthood at the age of 10, but he “accepted late.” He also told his conversion story to yourcentralvalley.com in a 2019 interview, explaining that “God has blessed me with everything under the sun.” Borba said he asked God to allow him to fulfill multiple dreams, to which he felt the Lord say “yes.” “He not only blessed me with blessed me with money, and awareness, and just every business I had, he allowed me to have success with it,” Borba …

It's a billionaires boys club that’s arranging for the world to shift wealth upward, and to clamp down totalitarian controls on everybody else".

"COVID we shifted $4 trillion of wealth upward. We closed all of the little guys. They were all colluding with each other to censor guys like me complaining about it."

The Council of Melkite Greek Catholic Bishops in Lebanon has voiced deep concern over Israeli military demolitions of civilian homes and religious buildings in areas of southern Lebanon under Israeli control. In a statement reported by the Associated Press on Monday, the bishops urged the Lebanese government and the United Nations to intervene and protect the property of civilians and religious institutions. They described the destruction — carried out after residents obeyed Israeli evacuation orders — as “a deep wound in the national and human conscience.”
