On August 7, around 100 Freemasons from different obediences gathered at the Col de Vergio in Corsica, France, nearly 1,500 metres above sea level, for a summer lunch. Among those attending was Cardinal François Bustillo, Bishop of Ajaccio. According to LeCanardEnchaine.fr (August 18), the Cardinal spoke at length about “peace”. The Cardinal is one of the rising stars of the French episcopate. Seated beside him was Jean-Félix Acquaviva, the former autonomist MP currently under investigation for alleged passive corruption (offering positions to young women in exchange for sexual favours). Acquaviva has denied the allegations. #newsAoonddakbb

"For me, the Church is synodal," said Bishop Heiner Wilmer, 65, in an interview with Kirche-Und-Leben.de on 21 August. He is the chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference. In March 2026, Pope Leo XIV promoted the pro-homosexual bishop to Münster, the largest diocese in Germany. Monsignor Wilmer said that synodality is "deeply rooted" in Münster diocese. He added that he was looking forward to "the common journey with many baptised people, but also internationally, ecumenically, and with our Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters". Grateful for Lay Preaching When asked about lay preaching during Eucharists, Bishop Wilmer admitted that he there are "many" baptised women and men who had been engaging with this issue for years, and that a culture had developed around it. Wilmer has "great respect for this established tradition" and is "deeply grateful" for it. He is "convinced that the wonderful pastoral workers will find a good way to deal with the circumstances” - taking about the Vatican's …Dugang pa
The University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life has published on July 17 a report containing twelve proposals for assessing candidates for the priesthood. Entitled, "Do You Know Them to Be Worthy?", the file was written by Father Thomas V. Berg and psychologist Timothy G. Lock. The report draws on research commissioned from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and a consultation held at Notre Dame in September 2025. The proposals concern psychological assessment, candidates with particular psychological or developmental conditions, and formation for chastity and celibacy. It addresses candidates with conditions including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder. On homosexual attraction, the Notre Dame authors note that a pause in formation may "more often than not" lead to a decision not to advance a candidate toward ordination. The authors think the pause is needed to assess four things: - how the man understands his identity; …Dugang pa
St. Bridget was told by the Lord that bad priests are not truly His priests, but true betrayesr, worse than Judas in some ways, because they sell Christ after He has already redeemed the world. They handle the sacred Host while living in lust, greed, and double lives, then return to sin with firm intention. The priesthood is the greatest dignity on earth, but also carries the strictest judgment (James 3:1).
Slovak pro-LGBT Catholic priest Adam Štefanec, 29, of the Diocese of Žilina said in an August 12 video that he does not like the word “God.” Rev. Štefanec believes that the term had accumulated so many associations that it no longer speaks to people today. “I try to find words that are universal,” he said, naming “humanity” as a universal value. Asked what Christ wants from people, Rev. Štefanec said the answer is “different for everyone,” different in every age, and “constantly changing.” Previously, Rev. Štefanec has supported homosex civil partnerships and said that homosexuality is not a sin.

Sons of Thunder: Those who burned in blazing Zeal for Yahweh, the God of Sinai, Yahweh, the God of Israel. 1) Luke 9:52-54; He sent messengers ahead of him, and they went and entered a Samaritan village to make preparations for Him; but they did not welcome Him because He was on His way to Jerusalem. When His disciples James and John (Boanerges: sons of thunder, Mark 3:17) saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” 2) Prophet Elijah answered Yhaweh: "I am filled with burning zeal for Yahweh Sabaoth, because the sons of Israel have deserted you and broken down your altars” (1 King 19:10) a) 1 Kings 18:38-40; The fire of Yahweh fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood, and licked up the water from the trenches. All the people saw this, and they fell on their faces and said, “The LORD is God; the LORD is God!” Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not a single one of them escape.” So they seized them, and Elijah led …Dugang pa
1) Łukasz 9:52-54; Wysłał przed sobą posłańców, a oni udali się do pewnej wioski samarytańskiej, aby przygotować dla Niego miejsce; nie przyjęli Go jednak, ponieważ zmierzał do Jerozolimy. Gdy Jego uczniowie Jakub i Jan (Boanerges: synowie gromu, Mk 3:17) to zobaczyli, rzekli: „Panie, czy chcesz, abyśmy sprowadzili ogień z nieba, by ich strawił?”. 2) Prorok Eliasz odpowiedział Jahwe: „Jestem przepełniony płonącą gorliwością ku Jahwe Sabaoth, ponieważ synowie Izraela opuścili Ciebie i zburzyli Twoje ołtarze” (1 Krl 19:10) a) 1 Krl 18:38-40; Ogień Jahwe spadł i strawił ofiarę całopalną oraz drewno, a także wchłonął wodę z rowów.

Today, Leo XIV published a message for the 2026 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. He adopts the ecological vocabulary closely associated with Francis’ pontificate. Citing Laudato Si’, he speaks of an “authentic ecological conversion” and in metaphors such as “the ecosystems of the human heart.” The message also contains a naïve statement on warfare. “The true tools for building peace are not weapons of destruction,” Leo writes, listing instead “truth, dialogue, patience, goodness, justice, mercy, understanding, care and love.” Leo XIV enfolds an earthly program of disarmament, poverty reduction and ecological improvement: “Let us imagine a world in which the energies currently invested in war are directed toward integral human development, to overcoming poverty, protecting human dignity and reconciling divided peoples. Such a vision reflects faith in the coming of God’s Kingdom.” #newsUadwzxlixo
Dear Son, A good woman can multiply what you bring into a relationship; the wrong partner can slowly drain it away. Son, there’s something I want you to understand before you choose the person you’ll build your life with: relationships magnify what already exists between two people. Love can grow. Peace can deepen. Dreams can become shared goals. But resentment, selfishness, and disrespect can grow just as quickly. That’s why character matters far more than appearance, charm, or first impressions. 1. A good woman multiplies your effort You give her a house, and together you make it feel like home. You bring groceries through the door, and somehow an ordinary dinner becomes a place where people laugh, talk, and reconnect. You share a dream with her, and instead of dismissing it, she helps you turn it into something real. The right woman doesn’t simply take from what you build. She contributes her own strength, ideas, work, and love. But with the wrong person, the same opportunities can …Dugang pa
The main point of the third secret can be summed up in the words of Melanie Calvat: "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist." A heretic antipope will completely take over the Vatican apparatus and consummate Luther's Gnostic revolution and will erect a counterfeit church -- a "church" that will replace the primacy of the pope with sinodality, thereby creating a federation of regional hierarchies. It will be a Masonic inspired "dogma free Christianity" with no moral absolutes, and it will replace the holy sacrifice of the Mass with an invalid rite. The true sacrifice of the altar will be abolished. The false ecumenical religion will gain state recognition. Adherents of the Catholic religion will be severely persecuted by the civil powers. The true pope will be hunted down and killed. Then there will be world war, frightful epidemics that will exterminate entire nations, and starvation almost everywhere. There will be catastrophic natural disasters that will annihilate …Dugang pa

Devotees Carry Virgin of El Rocío through the night, rain and all | Shalom World News Heavy rain did not stop thousands of devotees from carrying the Virgin of El Rocio through the night to Almonte, Spain. The rain forced organizers to place a transparent waterproof cover over the centuries-old image as it was carried through the streets. The Virgin was carried 15.7 kms on the shoulders of residents, taking nearly 20 hours to reach the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. The image will remain in Almonte for the coming months, where pilgrims and religious brotherhoods will visit her before she returns to her sanctuary.
Sean Johnson Aug 01, 2026 Bishop Richard Williamson (1940 - 2025) In November, 2022 I travelled to St. Mary’s, KS to interview +Williamson (who had gained entry into the United States from Mexico using a fake COVID Passport). It would be the last time His Lordship would step foot on American soil, and the last time I would ever see him. The occasion for the interview, coming as it did in late 2022, was a review of the Resistance movement at its 10-year anniversary. However, the subject matter of the interview was the history of the SSPX ralliement to modernist Rome, going back to the death of Archbishop Lefebvre, and progressing to the (then) present. The interview is therefore nearly four years-old, and in fact it is old news. So why post it here? Why now? About a year or so after the interview was published on YouTube in 5 parts, Part 3 was banned. Fortunately, others had quickly uploaded it onto other video websites, where it survived. A year after that, Part 4 disappeared, likewise …Dugang pa
Heiligenkreuz: Heim steps down as Rome bars monks from electing new abbot After two terms in office, Maximilian Heim will step down as abbot on 14 September. The Dicastery for Consecrated Life has blocked the elective chapter and ordered the appointment of an administrator for three years. In the background lies the growing influence of Abbot General Mauro Giuseppe Lepori and an Austrian Congregation unable to defend the autonomy of its own communities.
Book of Ezekiel 43,1-7a. The angel led me to the gate which faces the east, and there I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. I heard a sound like the roaring of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory. The vision was like that which I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and like that which I had seen by the river Chebar. I fell prone as the glory of the LORD entered the temple by way of the gate which faces the east, but spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court. And I saw that the temple was filled with the glory of the LORD. Then I heard someone speaking to me from the temple, while the man stood beside me. The voice said to me: Son of man, this is where my throne shall be, this is where I will set the soles of my feet; here I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. shareyourcatholicfaith
Buch Ezechiel 43,1-7a. Der Mann, der mich begleitete, führte mich zu einem der Tore, dem Tor, das im Osten lag. Und siehe, die Herrlichkeit des Gottes Israels kam aus dem Osten heran. Ihr Rauschen war wie das Rauschen gewaltiger Wassermassen und die Erde leuchtete auf von seiner Herrlichkeit. Die Erscheinung, die ich sah, war wie die Erscheinung, die ich damals sah, als er kam, um die Stadt zu vernichten, und wie die Erscheinung, die ich am Fluß Kebar gesehen hatte. Da fiel ich nieder auf mein Gesicht. Und die Herrlichkeit des HERRN zog in den Tempel ein durch das Tor, das im Osten lag. Und der Geist hob mich empor und brachte mich in den inneren Vorhof. Und siehe, die Herrlichkeit des HERRN erfüllte den Tempel. Dann hörte ich einen, der vom Tempel her zu mir redete. Der Mann aber stand neben mir. Er sagte zu mir: Menschensohn, das ist der Ort, wo mein Thron steht, und der Ort, wo meine Füße ruhen; hier will ich für immer mitten unter den Israeliten wohnen.
