Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon, has renewed a 2018 directive requiring the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel to be recited after Eucharists across the Archdiocese. The instruction was included in a May 12 pastoral letter published on ArchdPdx.org The prayer should be said “after the conclusion of every Mass celebrated in the archdiocese,” describing it as part of a spiritual response to challenges facing the Church. The “Mission Renewal” initiative includes consecration of the archdiocese to the Sacred Heart, novenas, Eucharistic processions, fasting and penance, and works of mercy. Explaining the reason for the prayer, Archbishop Sample wrote that “Satan seeks to divide, disrupt and interfere,” adding that united prayer against “the enemy” is crucial for renewal efforts. #newsIchjizaoee

He has authored over 980 peer-reviewed publications and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Independent Medicine. Dr. Varon published an article on brownstone.org on Monday: The Hantavirus Panic Machine: When Rare Diseases Become Media Theater. Periodically, the public faces a new microbial threat. The pattern is consistent: a tragic death or cluster of illnesses emerges, prompting newsrooms to employ dramatic language such as “deadly virus,” “mysterious outbreak,” and “health officials concerned.” Social media further amplifies public fear. Public health agencies issue cautious statements, which journalists often reframe in alarmist terms. Within days, individuals previously unfamiliar with the terminology may become convinced that a civilization-ending epidemic is imminent. This month, it is hantavirus. Just …
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is an end in itself," Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, told OsvNews.com on 11 May during a trip to the USA. "Any attempt to instrumentalise the Gospel for a subsidiary purpose, whether cultural, ideological or political, is suspect." He warned against "any attempt to brandish Christianity void of the message and presence of the Wounded and Risen One". And: "Any presentation of Christianity that abstracts the scandal of the Cross, or that uses the Cross perversely as a weapon with which to strike others, is veering towards heresy or even blasphemy." However, the main focus of the interview is psychology, not religion. Some of his main points are: - absolutizing our own experience - immersed in my own experience - the drama of my existence - learn to live with my wound - being wounded is the human norm - a remembrance of healing - living enclosed in ourselves - shut myself off - a new way of being human - a human life is a drawn-out affair Picture: …okunengi

The Venice diocese covers most of southwest Florida. Monsignor Biosca is a member of the Pittsburgh-based Capuchin Franciscan Friars. He served for over two decades in Papua New Guinea (1994-2006) and Cuba (2007-2019). His public profile is almost entirely defined by immigration ministry.

The congregation is predominantly Latino, particularly Salvadoran, but also includes Haitians, Brazilians and Vietnamese Catholics.

Several of his parishioners …okunengi

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Auxiliary Bishop Michele Autuoro, 59, of Naples as the new Metropolitan Archbishop of Benevento, Italy. He was mentored by the pro-homosexual Cardinal Domenico Battaglia of Naples, who is famous for washing the feet of homosexuals and allowing liturgies including transvestites. "Todos, todos, todos" Talking to LaPorzione.it in November 2024, Monsignor Autuoro praised the Francis’ Church. Some quotes from this interview: - “The Church is a great construction site — the construction site of the Synod.” - “The Synod is not a conclusion, it is only a beginning.” - “There is a great desire for change.” - “The Church has only one mission: to reach everyone.” - “The Church is a banquet offered to all peoples, where everyone must sit and no one must be excluded.” Migration / anti-border rhetoric During his time as director of Missio (2013–2018), he campaigned in favour of illegal immigration and criticised "walls and closed borders".

Today, Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, issued a statement on the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The text reads: “Regarding the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, we reiterate what has already been communicated. The episcopal ordinations announced by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X do not have the corresponding papal mandate. This act constitutes ‘a schismatic act’ (John Paul II, Ecclesia Dei, n. 3) and ‘formal adherence to schism constitutes a grave offense against God and entails the excommunication established by the law of the Church’ (ibid., 5c; cf. Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, Explanatory Note, August 24, 1996). The Holy Father continues to pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten those responsible for the Priestly Fraternity of Sts Pius X so that they may reconsider the their grave decision.” #newsTtiovyfbhg
If God wills a diversity of religions, why are they persecuting Catholicism, and allowing persecution of Catholics around the world and the burning of churches?
Neither did the episcopal consecrations of 1988 have episcopal approval, and yet Benedict lifted the excommunication of the four bishops without their repenting. So, were the four bishops, and Archbisops Lefebvre and Mayer, really in the wrong? If so, why lift the excommunication, Benedict? If not, why worry about a coming excommunication? What makes sense in the Church these days? Yogi Berra said, "In baseball, you don't know nothing." It's pretty much like that in the modern Church.
So BXVI can resign throw in the towel .SSPX is doing opposite digging in and holding the faith of our fathers. One thought VII is ok the other sees the modernism VII for what it is a snake
Nothing regarding this confrontation is a joke. It is setting in motion a terrible persecution. We must be braced for impact! I would''t say gliub things about it. But try, humbly, to keep the Roman Catholic Faith! Try sitting up in the front some time, just to change things up! God bless you!

Read this carefully. The European official says, on record, "there is no literature, no evidence that transmission has happened before onset of symptoms." Then in the same breath recommends contact tracing for the two days before symptoms anyway. No single evidence. But trace them, isolate them, log them, just in case. This is the entire COVID playbook over again. Admit the data does not support the measure. Invoke "precaution". Roll out the measure, and eventually call anyone who points at the contradiction a conspiracy theorist. "Public health approach" is the magic phrase that they will use again to strip you from your civil tights. They told you exactly what they are planning to do.
Sound familiar? The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control says that "some persons can test positive before the onset of symptoms," so they recommend contract tracing to be done two days before the onset of symptoms.
Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined. “It’s bigger than Watergate.” “It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.” “It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.” “There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ” “Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.” “At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.” “And some of them took that deal.” “It’s one thing to be evil to a child.” “It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.” “The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”
