Cardinal Zuppi backs teaching Islam in Catholic religion classes. On October 21, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, the president of the Italian bishops, presented 11 educational materials about Islam for use in Catholic religion classes in Italian schools. Zuppi warned of "dangerous newspaper headlines, dangerous in terms of Islamophobia, dangerous." "The future is dialogue," he emphasized. "The opposite also applies: if you don't talk, you fall behind. he world moves forward, and you're the one who falls behind, right?" Speaking about religion classes, he said that "we must not teach catechism," adding: "This is very important. It's not that someone else tells us this; we ourselves say that catechism must not be taught." The materials, titled "Sheets for Understanding Islam", were developed by a team composed of equal numbers of Christian and Muslim scholars. #newsWpeludmmob
SAINT ANTHONY MARY CLARET - October 24 Claretian Archbishop and Founder (1807-1870) St. Anthony Claret founded the Claretians. Their schools and libraries trace back to his tireless missions. He was also a reformer who championed the poor and carried out the Church's social teaching. St. Anthony was ordained in Spain in 1835 after recovering from an illness. He preached successfully and advocated for the poor. When secular parties made threats on his life, his superiors sent him abroad. Upon returning, he founded the Claretians. St. Anthony was elected archbishop of Cuba because of his apostolic brilliance. Before returning to Spain, he survived an assassination attempt. His reforms included public education, credit unions and racial equality. In 1857, St. Anthony was appointed confessor to Queen Isabella of Spain. While fulfilling his duties, he built hospitals, colleges and other institutes. Neither did forced exile prevent him from preaching and pursuing missions for education. He …More

Or you know better than both GOD and His Mother? Yep! The later is more like it. And please stop adding the stupid things you pick off from others. I am no …More

Our Lady of Good Success described the abuses that would attack each of the Sacraments: The Sacred Sacrament of Holy Orders would be ridiculed, oppressed and despised. The demon would labor unceasingly to corrupt the clergy and would succeed with many of them. And these “depraved priests, who will scandalize the Christian people, will incite the hatred of the bad Christians and the enemies of the Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church to fall upon all priests. This apparent triumph of Satan will bring enormous sufferings upon the good pastors of the Church.” About the Sacrament of Matrimony, which symbolizes the union of Christ with His Church, she said this: “Masonry, which will then be in power, will enact iniquitous laws with the objective of doing away with this Sacrament, making it easy for everyone to live in sin. … The Christian spirit will rapidly decay, extinguishing the precious light of Faith until it reaches the point that there will be an almost total and general corruption …More
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 13,1-9. Some people told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. He said to them in reply, "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did! Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them --do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!" And he told them this parable: "There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, 'For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. (So) cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?' He said to him in reply, 'Sir, leave …More
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Lukas - Lk 13,1-9. Zu jener Zeit kamen einige Leute und berichteten Jesus von den Galiläern, deren Blut Pilatus mit dem ihrer Opfertiere vermischt hatte. Und er antwortete ihnen: Meint ihr, dass diese Galiläer größere Sünder waren als alle anderen Galiläer, weil das mit ihnen geschehen ist? Nein, sage ich euch, vielmehr werdet ihr alle genauso umkommen, wenn ihr nicht umkehrt. Oder jene achtzehn Menschen, die beim Einsturz des Turms am Schiloach erschlagen wurden – meint ihr, dass sie größere Schuld auf sich geladen hatten als alle anderen Einwohner von Jerusalem? Nein, sage ich euch, vielmehr werdet ihr alle ebenso umkommen, wenn ihr nicht umkehrt. Und er erzählte ihnen dieses Gleichnis: Ein Mann hatte in seinem Weinberg einen Feigenbaum gepflanzt; und als er kam und nachsah, ob er Früchte trug, fand er keine. Da sagte er zu seinem Winzer: Siehe, jetzt komme ich schon drei Jahre und sehe nach, ob dieser Feigenbaum Früchte trägt, und finde nichts. Hau …More

Letter to the Ephesians 4,7-16. Brothers and sisters: Grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore, it says: "He ascended on high and took prisoners captive; he gave gifts to men." What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended into the lower (regions) of the earth? The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming. Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way …More
Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Epheser 4,7-16. Brüder! Jeder von uns empfing die Gnade in dem Maß, wie Christus sie ihm geschenkt hat. Deshalb heißt es: Er stieg hinauf zur Höhe und erbeutete Gefangene, er gab den Menschen Geschenke. Wenn es heißt: Er stieg aber hinauf, was bedeutet dies anderes, als dass er auch zur Erde herabstieg? Derselbe, der herabstieg, ist auch hinaufgestiegen über alle Himmel, um das All zu erfüllen. Und er setzte die einen als Apostel ein, andere als Propheten, andere als Evangelisten, andere als Hirten und Lehrer, um die Heiligen für die Erfüllung ihres Dienstes zuzurüsten, für den Aufbau des Leibes Christi, bis wir alle zur Einheit im Glauben und der Erkenntnis des Sohnes Gottes gelangen, zum vollkommenen Menschen, zur vollen Größe, die der Fülle Christi entspricht. Wir sollen nicht mehr unmündige Kinder sein, ein Spiel der Wellen, geschaukelt und getrieben von jedem Widerstreit der Lehrmeinungen, im Würfelspiel der Menschen, in Verschlagenheit, die in die …More
