The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has voted in favor of a ban on so-called “conversion therapy” for homosexuals. The broad term explicitly includes prayers and religious counselling relating to gender dysphoria. The resolution defines that it is a “false belief” that gender expression is undesirable or capable of change. It contains no exception for pedophilia. The text states that prohibited practices include “spiritual and religious rituals,” placing prayer aimed at encouraging alignment with biological sex alongside methods such as coercion, forced medication, and physical abuse. In addition, the resolution calls for mandatory comprehensive sexuality education in schools, including instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, with the stated goal of combating “prejudice and misinformation.” Children are encouraged to identify and report attempts at so-called conversion practices. While the resolution is formally non-binding, such measures are frequently …Bontsi

Epstein Documents Released The release of files, videos and photographs from the federal inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein is the largest to date, and the final one planned by the Justice Department. Times reporters are sifting through the material. The Justice Department’s Friday release of its investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein is packed with details about his ties to the most powerful figures in politics, tech and global affairs. The documents shed new light on the depth of his relationships between the convicted sex offender and figures such as Steve Bannon, Elon Musk and world leaders. In particular, the files contain extensive exchanges with Bannon as he mounted a political influence campaign across Europe, and numerous overtures — the unrequited kind — to Musk. And the documents add new heft to earlier indications that Epstein wielded extraordinary …Bontsi

"To say that someone is going to burn in hell because they had (pre-marital sex) is just not true" Episcopalian pastor laments that people consider abortion a "sin," then dismisses the idea that pre-marital sex is necessarily a bad thing, or something that Jesus cares about.
The Latter Times & the Judgment of Nations Margaret C. Galitzin --- Recently I came across a small book titled The Latter Times [Los Ultimos Tiempos] by a Spanish Doctor of Sacred Scripture, Fr. Benjamin Sanchez, born in 1905. (1) This short work, which examines public and private prophecies about the Latter Times, is quite interesting and significant for our days. This is particularly so because many Catholics, overwhelmed by the apostasy and sin of our days, are wrongly thinking that we are in the End Times that will immediately precede the Last Judgment. --- A renewed world, not the latter times --- A Great Chastisement will come over the earth, Zacharias foresees, where only a third part will be left. These, however, will be tried and purified and will call on the name of the Lord: --- “And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered and shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein. --- “And I will bring the third part through the …Bontsi
I like your post. I think we are in the time where satan is unbound (Rev. Chap. 20) because Pope Leo 13th had the mystical experience in 1884 where satan asked to try the Church and God permitted it. I think the next step would be the Second Coming of Christ.
Many Church approved mystics talked about this. The available graces have to be used first. Matthew 24:14 states: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and THEN the end will come."
Father Karl A Claver That was awhile back. Kicking a light is not a reason to kill someone in cold blood while on the ground having his head bashed in and kicked all over his body. Just because he wanted to help a woman up, they killed him. A light on a car does not equal a death sentence. Or does it to you?
The University of Notre Dame, operated by the Congregation of Holy Cross, has confirmed the appointment of Susan Ostermann as director of its Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, effective July 1, 2026. Ostermann, an associate professor in the Keough School of Global Affairs, has publicly advocated for abortion in multiple opinion columns, describing laws restricting abortion as “violence,” “sexual abuse,” and “trauma”. She even linked opposition to abortion with "white supremacy". Her writings have appeared in outlets including Salon, The Indianapolis Star, and the Chicago Tribune. The appointment drew sharp criticism from Fr Wilson Miscamble, a Holy Cross priest and professor emeritus at Notre Dame, who argued that the decision undermines the university’s Catholic identity and called on the Board of Fellows to rescind it. Other faculty members also raised concerns about the tone and substance of Ostermann’s abortion advocacy. In a written statement, the University of Notre …Bontsi
2nd book of Samuel 12,1-7a.10-17. The LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he came to him, Nathan said: "Judge this case for me! In a certain town there were two men, one rich, the other poor. The rich man had flocks and herds in great numbers. But the poor man had nothing at all except one little ewe lamb that he had bought. He nourished her, and she grew up with him and his children. She shared the little food he had and drank from his cup and slept in his bosom. She was like a daughter to him. Now, the rich man received a visitor, but he would not take from his own flocks and herds to prepare a meal for the wayfarer who had come to him. Instead he took the poor man's ewe lamb and made a meal of it for his visitor." David grew very angry with that man and said to Nathan: "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this merits death! He shall restore the ewe lamb fourfold because he has done this and has had no pity." Then Nathan said to David: "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of …Bontsi

Saint Toma Khuong, also known as Saint Thomas Khuong or Tôma Khuông (full Vietnamese name often given as Thomas Ngô Túc Khuông or Thomas Khuông Tuc Ngo), was a Vietnamese priest and martyr born around 1780 in Tonkin (northern Vietnam), likely in the province of Hưng Yên. He came from a noble family, possibly the son of a mandarin, and was raised as a Christian from childhood in a time when the faith had taken root in Vietnam through missionary efforts but faced recurring hostility from imperial authorities. Khuong became a diocesan priest serving in the apostolic vicariate of Central Tonkin. He was also affiliated with the Dominican order as a tertiary (a lay member of the Dominican Third Order or confraternity for priests), reflecting his deep commitment to prayer, study, and pastoral work. Known for his piety, intellectual gifts dedicated to exploring faith through reason, and dedication to his flock, he ministered discreetly amid periodic anti-Christian persecutions under emperors …Bontsi

2 Samuel 11:1-4a, 5-10a, 13-17 Sometimes, people like David are ingenious at getting rid of those who get in their way. By discovering God’s love in people instead, bad intentions would occur less often. Mark 4:26-34 “This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how.” The human being who welcomes God into their heart (their soil) is made fruitful by Love every second.

The bishops in Flanders, Belgium, want to keep the debate open on allowing women to become deacons, according to CathoBel.be on January 29. They published a statement saying that the issue should not be considered closed at the local level, even after the recent Vatican study. The bishops said that church tradition should not be the deciding factor in the discussion, and that "signs of the times" should be taken seriously. This was in response to the open letter from a group of women frustrated by the recent Vatican study. The bishops replied that they "understand the women’s feelings". Furthermore, they said that women should be more closely involved in decision-making relating to theology, liturgy and pastoral care, and described women’s leadership in the Church as “an undeniable enrichment”. They added that it is not a good thing that only men carry out liturgical roles during church celebrations. They want women to have greater visibility within Church life, within existing limits. …Bontsi
2nd book of Samuel 7,18-19.24-29. After Nathan had spoken to King David, the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and who are the members of my house, that you have brought me to this point? Yet even this you see as too little, Lord GOD; you have also spoken of the house of your servant for a long time to come: this too you have shown to man, Lord GOD! You have established for yourself your people Israel as yours forever, and you, LORD, have become their God. And now, LORD God, confirm for all time the prophecy you have made concerning your servant and his house, and do as you have promised.

The Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Bari stands as one of Christianity’s most important places of Catholic–Orthodox encounter. Since the relics of Saint Nicholas were brought from Myra in 1087, the basilica has welcomed pilgrims from every nation—becoming a living bridge between East and West. In this report, Fr. Emmanuel Albano, Coordinator of the Saint Nicholas Ecumenical Institute, explains why Saint Nicholas is often called the saint of interreligious dialogue. Within the same sacred space, Catholic Mass and the Orthodox Divine Liturgy are celebrated—sometimes at the very same altar—offering a powerful sign of unity rooted in prayer rather than uniformity.In this report, Fr.

Breaking News Scientists want to use self-amplifying mRNA to vaccinate those who do not want to be vaccinated A research paper published earlier this month states that one of the researchers’ aims is to develop a vaccine to overcome vaccine hesitancy.

Cardinal Blaise Cupich has again criticized the Traditional Mass, while in his own Archdiocese of Chicago he allows serious liturgical abuses and offenses against the Blessed Sacrament. In this video, Fr. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina parish is shown during a Mass marked by repeated abuses. During the Sign of Peace, a layperson’s exuberant greeting causes a container holding many consecrated Hosts to be knocked over, and the incident is handled casually, as if they were ordinary crackers. The bishops who persecute the Traditional Mass in the name of “obedience” to the Pope often tolerate grave liturgical abuses in their dioceses without correction. It gives pause for thought.
That Pfleger character is a megalomaniac! The late Francis Cardinal George tried to remove him due to abuse, but this wayward priest's mostly black followers threatened to riot, so the Cardinal caved. Pfleger is untouchable - the "Chicago way"!
On Wednesday, a Swiss court found left-wing politician Sanija Ameti guilty of sharing photos in 2024 of her shooting at pictures of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The former Green Liberal Party (GLP) member was given a suspended fine totalling 3,500 Swiss francs for disturbing freedom of religion. While the judge acknowledged that her actions showed clear disregard for the Christian faith, the court ruled that Ameti had not intended to cause offence, citing emotional distress. Following the incident, Ameti apologised, deleted the post, resigned from the GLP and lost her job.
Nach einer langwierigen Verhandlung sprach das Bezirksgericht die fehlbare Politikerin schuldig. Die Strafe milderte sie aber deutlich: Ameti kassierte eine Geldstrafe von 60 Tagessätzen à 50 Franken mit einer Probezeit von zwei Jahren. Dazu kommt eine Busse von 500 Franken.

Birkenstocks are known for their functionality, not necessarily for having a formal look. But some brides have said they would wear the orthopedic-rooted sandals down the aisle — if only they were reworked to have a distinctly bridal appearance. In 2023, Danielle Frankel Hirsch, a popular designer for fashionable brides, asked herself, “What if Birkenstock was a bridal shoe? What does that look like?” She sketched dozens of designs, keeping in mind the many faithful Birkenstock customers who want to be comfortable on their wedding day and still feel stylish. As lifelong fans of Birkenstock, Ms. Frankel Hirsch, who founded the bridal brand Danielle Frankel in 2017, and her husband, Joshua Hirsch, the chief executive of the company, took a particular interest in this concept.
