Modern OCIA & Conversion: Mike Gormley on Ascension’s "Invited" & True Community "Your spouse’s faith might get you to the classroom door, but only your own faith will carry you across the threshold." Evangelist and author Mike "Gomer" Gormley joins CatholicTV to break down the reality of modern Catholic conversions. Why are young men and digital seekers suddenly flooding parish doors asking to become Catholic? Mike Gormley (Every Knee Shall Bow, Catching Foxes) steps onto the set of This Is the Day to unpack the state of adult faith formation (OCIA/RCIA) and introduce Ascension’s new program, Invited. Mike explores how the digital continent—podcasts, YouTube, and self-directed study—is leading people to the steps of the Church, but explains why information alone can never replace authentic relationship. In an age of algorithms and artificial intelligence, the Church’s secret strength remains unchanged: intentional accompaniment, personal discipleship, and lived community. Mike shares …Gehiago
A concise analyses of the recent series of articles about Coupling Constants (measurements of gravity, strong, electromagnetic and weak forces). Those are written at Grade 11 level, so they are easier to understand. If anyone is interested in reading, I invite you with an open heart and mind.

We should have known this all along! Since the same constants and formulations recur within classic physics and between classic and quantum physics. The unifying theory of physics is math just like the unifying "theory" of creation is God!
Italian priest Don Leonardo Pompei was declared excommunicated for schism on September 11 by the Diocese of Latina. The decision follows a penal process conducted under a mandate from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. The key issue is reflected in Pompei’s own words. In a public broadcast on September 5, 2025, he summarized what he had told his bishop: “I have come to the decision not to continue exercising my ministry within the hierarchical communion of the Catholic Church.”
Yes and no, Father. In fact, I love very much "ordinary" Novus Ordo Masses, when celebrated by sincere Priests (often with very good homilies). BUT there are some things - often imposed by Bishops as a practical test -that are insurmountable. "If a layman comes to you saying that he is adverse to the arrival and the Naturalization as citizens of Muslim people, it's your duty to tell him: "You're wrong: Catholic Doctrine says the opposite" ". Impossible to say OK

Audiobook on The Life of Gabrielle Lefebvre (Mother of a Family) by Rev. Fr. Le Crom; with thanks to Br. Anthony Neyrot for providing the narration for this video. This is the story of the mother of the Lefebvre Family — the mother of Archbishop Lefebvre — told by her spiritual director. Family tradition records that she would only embrace her new-born children after their baptism, at the same time invoking their destiny. Thus, after the baptism of the future Archbishop, she said: "He will have a great role to play in Holy Church, at Rome, near the Holy Father." " It is by sanctifying myself that I will obtain... the graces to sanctify my children. Education — above all maternal education — is in fact much more of an outpouring of the soul than a syllabus for a teacher." While describing her strong commitment to the ordinary way of salvation, the author also reveals some of what is known about her extraordinary mysticism as a stigmatist in a very active life.

Did the mother of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre have the stigmata? I am only half way through this audiobook and I never thought she was as Holy as she was. I knew she had to be by her children and Archbishop Lefebvre. But this really surprised me.
Leo XIV appoints Archbishop: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Father Mario León Dorado, 52 — a T-shirt guy and an adherent of the heretical Abu Dhabi program — as Coadjutor Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco. Born in Madrid, Dorado joined the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1996 and was ordained a priest in 2001. He has served as Apostolic Prefect of Western Sahara since 2013. “The Church is called to disappear” In September 2022, he wrote a reflection on his almost two decades of missionary work in an extraordinarily small Catholic community. His experience is that authentic love makes it possible to welcome the other without the 'need to change him'. Dorado draws his own conclusion: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” He explained his ecclesiology with the explicit analogy to John the Baptist's words in John 3:30, "He must increase, but I must decrease."

Canonisation cause opens for two Belfast priests A new case for the cause of canonisation of two Irish priests – who were shot dead in Belfast by the British Army – has been opened by the Diocese of Down and Connor.
La Diócesis de Down y Connor ha abierto oficialmente las causas de canonización de dos sacerdotes La Diócesis de Down y Connor ha abierto oficialmente las causas de canonización de los sacerdotes Hugh Mullan y Noel Fitzpatrick, dos valientes pastores que entregaron su vida en cumplimiento de su ministerio sacerdotal en Irlanda del Norte. En 1971, el padre Hugh Mullan fue alcanzado por disparos mientras administraba la Unción de los Enfermos a un herido. A pesar de llevar una bandera blanca como señal de paz y servicio religioso, fue abatido cobardemente por la espalda. Por su parte, el padre Noel Fitzpatrick entregó la vida en circunstancias similares al acudir en auxilio de una niña de 13 años gravemente herida, siendo alcanzado por las balas mientras le impartía los Últimos Ritos e intentaba brindarle consuelo espiritual. El testimonio de ambos sacerdotes refleja el amor supremo de quien da la vida por sus ovejas, permaneciendo fieles al altar y a los sacramentos en medio del dolor y …Gehiago
Canonisation cause opens for two Belfast priests A spokesman for the Diocese has told The Irish Catholic that the process for “the cause of the saints” has been started for Fr Hugh Mullan and Fr Noel Fitzpatrick. The two priests were shot dead in two separate incidents in the 1970s, while ministering the last rites to parishioners in Corpus Christi parish in Ballymurphy. “It is at the early stages,” he added, describing what he called “a long process”. The case was initiated by Bishop Alan McGuckian. The initial stage involves writing a dossier and then, in liaison with Rome, appointing someone to investigate and promote the cause. It also involves interviewing those who knew the priests and how they lived out the theological virtues such as faith, hope, and love. In 2022 another Irish priest, a Jesuit and army chaplain, Fr Willie Doyle, SJ was declared ‘a Servant of God’ – the first official stage in the path to sainthood. A prayer card in honour of Fr Mullan and Fr Fitzpatrick was …Gehiago

Hand and wrist surgeon Paul Casey argued, in an April 2020 article for OnePeterFive, that anatomical and historical evidence favors the traditional view that Christ was nailed through the palms, against the now-popular theory that He was nailed through the wrists. The wrist theory originated with Pierre Barbet, a French battlefield surgeon who studied the Shroud of Turin in the 1930s. In a cadaver experiment, Barbet drove a nail into the soft center of the palm and found it tore free under weight. Rather than testing other points in the palm, he concluded no part of the palm could bear the body's weight, and proposed the nail instead passed through Destot's space, a gap between the wrist bones. He argued this location matched the wound on the Shroud and, he claimed, would sever the median nerve — which he offered as an explanation for why the Shroud shows no visible thumbs. Decades later, forensic pathologist Frederick Zugibe — a medical examiner with a Ph.D. in anatomy, and so arguably …Gehiago
I often think the saints who have been stigmatized in the palms have been stigmatized in that manner to help us to imagine and venerate the wounds of Our Dear Lord.
