Bishop Athanasius Schneider recalled his childhood in the underground Church of the Soviet Union during a talk in Cobh, Ireland, on August 3, AdVaticanum.com reports. “There were times when we had gatherings like this, but we had to close the windows and the doors because we were checked by the secret police, and we had to hide priests.” He recounted the story of Bishop Alexander Chira (1897-1983), a clandestine Greek Catholic bishop whom Soviet authorities urged “not to deny Christ, but only to become Orthodox,” thereby breaking communion with Rome. “He refused,” Bishop Schneider said, and, as a consequence, he was imprisoned in “several concentration camps called gulags.” Afterward, Bishop Chira lived under house arrest in Karaganda, concealing his identity as a bishop to avoid being sent back. “He could not reveal his identity as a bishop,” Bishop Schneider said. “Otherwise, he would be sent back. So he could only say to the people, ‘I am Father Alexander.’” Catholic priests celebrated …More
Pope Leo has appointed Bishop Eusebio Ramos Morales of Caguas as the Archbishop of San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 2024, this bishop allowed the Bishop of Mayagüez—67-year-old Ángel Luis Ríos Matos—to mock Cardinal Raymond Burke during a conference on "synodality" held on September 8 in the Diocese of Caguas. Referring to Francis, Msgr. Ríos spoke against the "liturgical vestments" and "lace" that Francis himself uses. He projected images of Cardinal Burke wearing a cardinal's hat and a *cappa magna*. Msgr. Ríos said: "Look how beautiful this is. I should have covered his face—for those who know him." The bishop encouraged the audience to "laugh," and he joined in the laughter himself. Ríos then addressed Bishop Eusebio Ramos, who was present at the talk and joined in the mockery. Jokingly, Bishop Ríos said: "Don't you have one of those capes, Eusebio?" The audience and Bishop Ríos laughed again. Bishop Ríos continued his act, suggesting: "As a Synod gift, they should have a cape made for …More

Pope Saint Sixtus II - Feast day: 6/7 August Pope Sixtus II (died 6 August 258) was the Pope or Bishop of Rome from 31 August 257 until his death on 6 August 258. He was martyred along with seven deacons, including Lawrence of Rome during the persecution of the Catholic Church by Emperor Valerian. According to the Liber Pontificalis, he was born in Greece and was a philosopher; however, this is uncertain, and is disputed by modern western historians arguing that the authors of Liber Pontificalis confused him with that of the contemporary author Xystus, who was a Greek student of Pythagoreanism. He restored the relations with the African and Eastern churches which had been broken off by his predecessor on the question of heretical baptism raised by the heresy Novatianism. In the persecutions under Valerian in 258, numerous bishops, priests, and deacons were put to death. Pope Sixtus II was one of the first victims of this persecution, being beheaded on 6 August. He was martyred along with …More

Muslims Lose Their Minds When 26 Different ARABIC Qurans Return to Speakers' Corner! Hatun Tash DCCI Ministries Hatun Tash DCCI Ministries youtube.com/watch?v=9y7eWEjBBw4 4 lug 2017 #JaySmith#SpeakersCorner#HatunTash About a year ago, Jay Smith and Hatun Tash got up on their ladders at Speakers' Corner to show 26 different Arabic Qur'ans to the world. They didn't have the time then to go through the 26 Qur'ans, and so they decided to bring the Qurans back to Speakers' Corner for a similar talk, but this time to go through and show some of the differences. To date, Arabic scholars who are doing the research (not Jay nor Hatun, who are clear that they are not Arabic scholars) have found 45,377 differences within the 26 Qur'ans they are looking at. That number will continue to rise as they find hundreds, and perhaps thousands more. Jay and Hatun couldn't go through all the 45,377 differences they were aware of, so they only brought down about 70 examples, taken from an assortment of the …More
Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the IX St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum – the Forum of United Cultures. Italian Publisher complaining to Putin about his country and how things are suppressed, how he no longer is invited by publishers as a political scientist. That we have the most severe censorship anywhere of speaking as a patriot. Then pleads with Putin later on about helping to save and publish literature. I want to ask our rulers such a question and there are no need for enemies. We not only provide Ukraine with weapons, we pay 12 million in pensions to pensioners in Ukraine every month. He went on to complain about other things going on. I know Putin is called King of Russia, Prince of Russia, The last Emperor of Russia, Father and Grandfather not only in Russia but around the world. But they need to give him a break. He is only one man. It's time to give the man a break. Crazy how many people around the world look up to him and love him. And how he …More
Montagna’s piece seems more of an attack of the messenger La Razón and the usual scapegoat, Roche. It is possible that La Razón’s unnamed source is Roche himself. But the point really in all of this is, are they factually inaccurate and wrong as claimed by Montagna? Hardly. To be frank, Montagna in her piece comes across as desperate, belligerent, and hostile in her attacks of La Razón and Cardinal Roche
1) Wisdom 14:12; The invention of idols was the beginning of fornication; their discovery, the corruption of life. a) Ezekiel 8:6; He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what these people are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here to drive me away from my Sanctuary? You will yet see other great abominations.” b) Revelation 2:14; I have this against you: you tolerate some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and commit fornication. c) After leading the flock into the sin of idolatry, in the next step they introduce Fiducia Supplicans, which paves the way for fornication. d) As a result, many Altars, Churches, and Liturgical Ornaments of the Catholic Church around the world are being decorated with LGBTQ colors. 2) Obedience as an instrument to obtain adherence to iniquity: a) The only excuse the Church authorities have to impose …More
Bischöfe und Kardinäle tragen den Dämon Pachamama auf ihren Schultern in einer Prozession durch den Vatikan. BIBLISCHE VORHERSAGEN: Die Kirche wird entweiht, das ewige Opfer wird eingestellt und der Antichrist wird 42 Monate lang in der Kirche zum Gott erklärt. 1) Weisheit 14,12; Die Erfindung der Götzenbilder war der Anfang der Unzucht; ihre Entdeckung der Verfall des Lebens. a) Hesekiel 8,6; Er sprach zu mir: „Menschensohn, siehst du, was dieses Volk tut – die großen Greuel, die das Haus Israel hier begeht, um mich aus meinem Heiligtum zu vertreiben? Du wirst noch andere große Greuel sehen.“ b) Offenbarung 2,14; Das habe ich gegen dich: Du duldest einige unter dir, die an der Lehre Bileams festhalten, der Balak lehrte, den Kindern Israels ein Hindernis in den Weg zu legen, damit sie Götzenopferfleisch aßen und Unzucht trieben. c) Durch dieses Beispiel führen sie die Herde in die Sünde und verleiten sie zur Unzucht. d) Nachdem sie die Kirche in die Sünde des Götzendienstes geführt haben …More
