A newly released Armenian-language statement from the Armenian Apostolic Church says that Pope Leo XIV and Catholicos Aram I addressed the idea of convening a “Third Vatican Council” during a private meeting at the Vatican on May 18. The Vatican’s summary of the meeting did not mention the topic. The Armenian Patriarchate said the two discussed “the establishment of a common date for Easter, a day of commemoration for all martyrs, and the convening of a Third Vatican Council.” According to the Armenian statement, Aram I emphasized the “urgent necessity” of these initiatives for the life of “the universal Christian Church.” The statement added that Leo XIV expressed “understanding and support” regarding the issues raised. #newsXvhelmczqf
Worse than Germany: Bishop Vincenzo Viva of Albano, Italy, spoke on May 16 at the Parish of Santa Maria Stella during a homosexual "prayer", as Outreach.faith reports. Main quotes, slightly shortened while preserving his pro-homosexual tone. - For the first time, the Diocese of Albano is holding a "prayer vigil" against homophobia and transphobia, recognizing the "suffering" these attitudes have caused within both the Church and society. - This diocese wants to continue this effort alongside other dioceses in Italy, moving forward cautiously but deliberately, inspired by the recent Synodal process. - The day when it is no longer necessary to hold vigils like this will be the day when every person is recognized - and I use this word with full awareness and deliberation - as a living, original, irreplaceable part of the Body of Christ. - I do not wish to speak this evening of welcoming, but of recognition and full integration. - Welcoming presupposes that someone arrives from the outside …More

05/18/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. One might think that the dream of creating a superhuman—one capable of overcoming the biological, natural limits of humanity—is nothing more than a fantasy conjured up by mad generals. A topic that lends itself perfectly to science fiction films. For decades, transhumanist experiments to create a “super soldier” have been conducted in all world powers. Just as soybeans’ genes are modified to make them resistant to glyphosate, genetically modified humans have been created for years. China confirms the birth of genetically modified children… The legally mandated curvature of the cucumber is taking on human characteristics. For example, a Pentagon-sponsored RAND report published in 2021 outlines the technological potentials of this controversial transhumanist research, which includes potentially “adding reptilian genes that provide the ability to see in infrared,” and “making humans stronger, more intelligent, or more adapted to extreme …
1) Some of the means the minions of the devil in the Church offer to the faithful to achieve mortal sin and the consequence: a) Adoration of Pachamama and hosts of similar gods, recommendation to the faithful to explore Islam (the god baal) that deny the Passion of Jesus, Budha, etc. The consequence: b) Deuteronomy 30:17-18; If your heart turns away, if you refuse to listen, if you let yourself be led astray into worshiping other gods and serving them, I tell you today that you will surely perish. c) Jonah 2:9; Those who serve worthless idols lose the grace that belonged to them. 2) LGBT is contrary to God’s will and the salvation of souls. Why are you so fascinated by a sin that even the servants of Baal abhor?; a) 1 Thessalonians 4:3; What God wants is for all of you to be holy. He wants you to keep away from sexual immorality. b) Romans 8:13: If you live according to the flesh, you will die. c) Galatians 5:19–21: When lust manifests itself, the consequences are obvious: FORNICATION …More

Monday, 19th May 1913 Detectives Seek Clue in Writing of Negro Suspect Monday, 19th May 1913 Detectives Seek Clue in Writing of Negro Suspect Monday, May 19th, 1913 Another Employee of the National Pencil Company Now Held at Police Headquarters. VALUABLE EVIDENCE FOUND BY BURNS MAN For Hours the New Detective, Col. Thomas B. Felder and Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey Discuss Case. In the first report of his investigation of the Mary Phagan tragedy, William J. Burns' agent informs Solicitor General Dorsey that he already has obtained a valuable clue, and that a new phase of the mystery, upon which he is basing his operations, will be productive of early and startling results. Sunday was a day of vigorous activity in all three sources of investigation of the Phagan mystery. At police headquarters, a new negro suspect was put through the third degree and forced to give specimens of his handwriting. His wife was taken into custody and thoroughly examined by Pinkerton men and police detectives. …More
– Folha de S. Paulo, March 5, 1980 - by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Press, radio, television — each, in its moment, stood as a symbol of vivid contemporaneity: swift and sensational information, lively intercommunication, and the exhilarating sense of a world in motion. They became decisive forces in that bustling, dazzling, fast-paced way of life which, at least until the early 1970s, endowed the word modernity with a kind of talismanic charm for the masses. Any environment permeated by this triple presence seemed to breathe freshness, vitality, even health. By contrast, places untouched by them appeared somber, heavy with mildew, and marked by the decrepitude of age. And because press, radio, and television had spread across the civilized world, many imagined that gloom, mildew, and decrepitude had been banished forever. I did not join the brotherhood of frenzied enthusiasts of talismanic progress. I lived among them, fundamentally at odds with their beliefs by conviction and temperament …More
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 17,11b-19. Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying: "Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth."
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 17,6a.11b-19. In jener Zeit erhob Jesus seine Augen zum Himmel und sprach: Vater, ich habe deinen Namen den Menschen offenbart, die du mir aus der Welt gegeben hast. Heiliger Vater, bewahre sie in deinem Namen, den du mir gegeben hast, damit sie eins sind wie wir! Solange ich bei ihnen war, bewahrte ich sie in deinem Namen, den du mir gegeben hast. Und ich habe sie behütet und keiner von ihnen ging verloren, außer dem Sohn des Verderbens, damit sich die Schrift erfüllte. Aber jetzt komme ich zu dir und rede dies noch in der Welt, damit sie meine Freude in Fülle in sich haben. Ich habe ihnen dein Wort gegeben und die Welt hat sie gehasst, weil sie nicht von der Welt sind, wie auch ich nicht von der Welt bin. Ich bitte nicht, dass du sie aus der Welt nimmst, sondern dass du sie vor dem Bösen bewahrst. Sie sind nicht von der Welt, wie auch ich nicht von der Welt bin. Heilige sie in der Wahrheit; dein Wort ist Wahrheit. Wie du mich in die …More

Monday, 19th May 1913 Burns Eager to Solve Phagan Case Monday, May 19th, 1913 Famous Detective Expected to Arrive From Europe and Start Work Before June 1. STARTLING NEW EVIDENCE IS REPORTED DISCOVERED Important Revelation Looked For To-day—Search Being Pushed With Renewed Vigor. Colonel Thomas B. Felder announced Monday morning that he had received word from William J. Burns that he would arrive in America before June 1 and would probably be on the scene of the Phagan slaying before that date. Colonel Felder said the great detective had taken an unusual interest in the Phagan mystery and he would not be surprised to hear from him in America any day soon. "Burns is more interested in this case than I have known him to be in another," said Colonel Felder. "I am advised that he will hasten his return from Europe on this account and be in America some days before June 1. He will, of course, come direct to Atlanta.

The University of Portland, a Catholic liberal arts school run by the Congregation of the Holy Cross, employed female “pastor” Brandy Daniels, who is “married” to another woman as a theology professor for the past six years.
Tue May 19, 2026 - 5:05 pm EDT PORTLAND, Oregon (LifeSiteNews) — The University of Portland, a Catholic liberal arts school run by the Congregation of the Holy Cross, employed female “pastor” Brandy Daniels, who is “married” to another woman as a theology professor for the past six years. A beaming April 27 profile of Daniels, who grew up as an evangelical Christian, in the student-run university publication The Beacon describes how she went from desiring to marry a (male) pastor when she began college to being a “pastor” who is “married” to a woman. Daniels works for the purportedly Catholic university as an associate professor in theology and religious studies, teaching courses on “Queer theology” and “Christianity, gender, and sexuality.” Daniels also serves as the co-director of the “Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies” department. “Her research and teaching explore intersections between constructive and political theologies, social ethics, and feminist and queer theories …
Acts of the Apostles 20,28-38. At Miletus, Paul spoke to the presbyters of the Church of Ephesus: "Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock of which the holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, in which you tend the church of God that he acquired with his own blood. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock. And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them. So be vigilant and remember that for three years, night and day, I unceasingly admonished each of you with tears. And now I commend you to God and to that gracious word of his that can build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are consecrated. I have never wanted anyone's silver or gold or clothing. You know well that these very hands have served my needs and my companions. In every way I have shown you that by hard work of that sort we must help the weak, and keep in mind the words of the Lord …More
