Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, published on April 8, 2016, was a “breakthrough” for the Church. This was stated by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, 81, of Vienna, who had presented the document at the Vatican ten years ago, in an interview with Kathpress.at on March 30. In a footnote, Francis "allowed" adulterers to grab Holy Communion using the case-by-case trick. Cardinal Schönborn commented: "That Pope Francis addressed the question of whether divorced and remarried persons may receive Communion only in a small footnote deeply moved me personally." “When I take the document from my bookshelf or even just think about it, it still brings me to tears,” he added. For many people in the Church - and for him personally - the document represented a “huge sigh of relief.” The reason, he explained, is that Francis speaks “about real life.” Families in “difficult” situations should not be constrained or judged according to "rigid criteria". Instead, one …Aktar
**The Patristic and Scholastic Consensus Against the Modern Idolatry of the Marriage Bed: Marriage Is the Indissoluble Bond of Wills, Not the Operations of the Flesh** The Church Fathers and the great Scholastic theologians present a unified, sober, and supernatural vision of holy matrimony that stands in radical opposition to much contemporary Catholic teaching and pastoral rhetoric. In the tradition from **St. Augustine** through the Scholastics (including **Peter Lombard** and preeminently **St. Thomas Aquinas**), the **essence** of the sacrament of marriage resides in the **mutual consent** that forms the indissoluble bond (*vinculum*) of fidelity between husband and wife. This covenant of wills is the primal reality: it images the union of Christ and the Church, confers sacramental grace, and sanctifies the spouses independently of any carnal act. The three goods of marriage—**offspring** (*proles*), **fidelity** (*fides*), and the **sacramental bond** (*sacramentum*)—flow from …Aktar

"Pride, as we have said, was the cause of the sin of Adam, and, consequently, of the ruin of the human race. On this account Jesus Christ came to repair this ruin by his own humiliation; not refusing to embrace the shame of all the insults that his enemies offered him, as he had himself predicted by David: Since for your sake I have endured reproach, confusion has covered My face. The whole life of our Redeemer was filled with shame and insults which he received from men; and he did not refuse to accept them, even to the extent of death itself, in order to deliver us from eternal shame: Who, having joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame."
[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church] “VI ~ THE INSULTS OFFERED TO JESUS CHRIST WHILE HE WAS HANGING UPON THE CROSS 1 ~ Agony of Jesus on the Cross Pride, as we have said, was the cause of the sin of Adam, and, consequently, of the ruin of the human race.

Stop BBC Trans Indoctrination of Children You may have noticed that the BBC is increasingly pushing LGBT ideology, especially transgenderism, into programmes watched by children. SIX YEARS WITH MILES CHRISTI. From introducing trans characters into hugely popular shows like Doctor Who to producing programmes focused on how “positive” it is to be a trans teenager, to putting Drag Queens on Strictly. There was even a segment on The Unshockable Dr Ronx, discussing how to breast bind “safely”. THREE YEARS WITH “SUPER OMNIA VERITAS”. Yes, you read that right! The BBC is encouraging young girls to bind their breasts. Not only are they trying to indoctrinate, but they are also teaching children how to self-harm. The BBC is legally required to remain impartial, yet it is promoting one side of a highly contested issue. Frankly, the BBC is outright lying to our children. Impressionable children and teenagers are being exposed to messaging that influences how they view their identity, their …Aktar

"When Pope Francis proposes fraternity as the foundation of social friendship and the pursuit of the common good, we could say that he proposes fraternity as the foundation of a universal ethic," Archbishop Rudelli said.
Book of Isaiah 49,1-6. Hear me, O islands, listen, O distant peoples. The Lord called me from birth, from my mother's womb he gave me my name. He made of me a sharp-edged sword and concealed me in the shadow of his arm. He made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me. You are my servant, he said to me, Israel, through whom I show my glory. Though I thought I had toiled in vain, and for nothing, uselessly, spent my strength, Yet my reward is with the LORD, my recompense is with my God. For now the LORD has spoken who formed me as his servant from the womb, That Jacob may be brought back to him and Israel gathered to him; And I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD, and my God is now my strength! It is too little, he says, for you to be my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and restore the survivors of Israel; I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

MARCH 2026 - KILLERS OF ALEX - UPDATE REPORT NAMES THE AGENTS BEHIND ALEX PRETTIS KILLING. May Alex and Nicole rest in peace for giving their life unconditionally to be the voices of those who can't have one to defend themselves. Regardless on how sinful we may be or might have been in life, acts of love such as this one guarantees us eternal salvation, says our Lord Jesus. None of them violent, little less terrorists; degraded by a government of liars and corrupt people who keep eroding this great nation and making it look as if all their inhabitants were evil when so many great north americans are suffering and fighting the good fight becoming sacrificial lambs in the process. God bless.
Conservative Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, published a “counter-view” to the teaching that Judas has earned his place in hell on FoxNews.com on Palm Sunday. Monsignor Barron's main arguments for having hope for Judas' salvation - Judas shows repentance: "Judas, the betrayer, deeply regretted what he had done: 'I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.'" "This is not callous indifference or self-justification. This is a clear and honest admission of guilt." - The Church has never declared that Judas is in hell: "St. Pope John Paul II insisted that the Church has never made a definitive statement regarding whether any particular person is in hell." "Pope Benedict said that we should suspend judgement regarding Judas and commit him to the mercy and justice of God." - Suicide does not guarantee damnation: "We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives.' 'By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary …Aktar

La Madonna del Giorno (30 Marzo) – MADONNA DELLA ROCCA, Alessandria della Rocca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italia La storia racconta che nel 1620, la Madonna apparve ad una giovane donna cieca di Alessandria ridonandole la vista in cambio di una chiesa nel luogo del ritrovamento di una sua statua nascosta nella roccia di una collina. I cittadini di Alessandria della Rocca dopo aver visto il miracolo di guarigione della donna cieca credettero alle sue parole e scavarono nel punto indicato dalla Madonna trovando una bella statua alta cm. 60, in marmo pario che sembra risalga all’epoca bizantina e raffigura la vergine Maria avvolta da un manto fregiato e panneggiato con in braccio Gesù bambino, che ha lo sguardo rivolto verso la madre.

During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources. One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through". Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries. "It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added. Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …Aktar
Good, Leo. Check out what Benedict XVI did in the way of trying to solve tensions. But unless you change the other aberrations of Francis, not many will trust your intentions towards the Traditional Mass.
The Ladder of Divine Ascent wisdom from John Climacus The following short excerpts are from The Ladder of Divine Ascent by John Climacus, abbot of St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai, Egypt during the 7th century. John Climacus is revered in many Eastern churches as a great teacher of spiritual wisdom. Orthodox monasteries throughout the centuries have read his Ladder of Divine Ascent during Lent. Light, fire and flame Love in its nature makes a human being like God, as far as is possible for a human being. The soul is intoxicated by the effects of it. Its characteristics are a fountain of faith, an abyss of patience, an ocean of humility. Love is the complete repudiation of any unkind thought about one’s neighbor, since, "Love thinks no evil" (1 Corinthians 13:5). Love, unchangeable tranquility, and our adoption as children of God are different from each other only in name. As light, fire and flame are present in the selfsame operation, so are these three manifestations of the Spirit. …Aktar
