05/06/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The Elite’s technocratic program has been planned for a long time. It has been progressively implemented over many decades under the guise of ongoing technological changes which have been presented as designed to make life easier. But hidden in the rapid technological changes we have learned to accept was a deeper, more insidious and comprehensive program to kill or enslave us all. There is little time left to start defending yourself if you haven’t already. This text is taken from an article published on April 20, 2026, on globalresearch.ca: Resisting the New World Order: Your Technocratic Slave Camp. I am not in favor of labeling people as an “elite” simply because they have amassed a huge fortune through fraud and, having learned from experience, now constantly devise new scams because that is how they achieve the results they want. The article in question addressed many topics. Among other things, the author described the role of wars …

"A Religious died in the flower of her age in the embrace of the Lord. She had been remarkable for her tender devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. After her death St. Gertrude saw her, brilliant with a celestial light, kneeling before the Divine Master, whose glorified wounds appeared like lighted torches, from whence issued five flaming rays that pierced the five senses of the deceased. The countenance of the latter, however, was clouded by an expression of deep sadness. " Lord Jesus," cried the saint, " how comes it that whilst you thus illumine your servant, why does she not experience perfect joy?"
Chapter XIX ~ Pains of Purgatory — St. Magdalene de Pazzi and Sister Benedicta — St. Gertrude — Blessed Margaret Mary and Mother de Montoux. We read in the Life of St. Magdalene de Pazzi that one of her sisters, named Maria-Benedicta, a Religious of eminent virtue, died in her arms. During her agony she saw a multitude of angels, which surrounded her with a joyful air, waiting until she should breathe forth her soul, that they might bear it to the Heavenly Jerusalem ; and at the moment she expired, the saint saw them receive the soul under the form of a dove, the head of which was of a golden hue, and disappear with her. Three hours later, watching and praying near the remains, Magdalene knew that the soul of the deceased was neither in Paradise nor Purgatory, but in a particular place where, without suffering any sensible pain, she was deprived of the sight of God. The following day, whilst Mass was being celebrated for the soul of Maria-Benedicta, at the Sanctus Magdalene was again …More
Meanwhile, The Tablet magazine reported May 4 that Pezzi had addressed the circumstances of his resignation at a Mass on the day of the announcement. The archbishop reportedly said that, “to make it clear and not spread any conspiracy theories or incorrect rumors, I want to announce that I have resigned because of my health, which does not allow me to manage this beloved, beautiful diocese as I should.”

In its April 30 announcement, the diocese announced that next on Thursday, May 7, it will send representatives to speak at the interfaith “Christians and Muslims in Dialogue at the Great Mosque” meeting organized by both the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy and the Diocese of Rome. In its announcement, the diocese stressed that this “interfaith encounter” will follow the examples of Pope Leo – the bishop of Rome – his predecessor Pope Francis, as well as the Second Vatican Council’s Nostra Aetate, the declaration on the relation of the Church to non-Christian religions. The diocesan representatives who will be speaking at the meeting include Monsignor Marco Valenti, auxiliary bishop of the Northern Sector; Monsignor Marco Gnavi, head of the Office for Ecumenism …
A newly emerged letter from pro-homosexual Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, has revealed that he warned the German bishops in 2024 against proceeding with their proposed homosexual blessings. Dated 18 November 2024, the letter was addressed to Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, who is responsible for liturgy. It was published today on X.com by Mexican priest Jorge Enrique Mújica, head of Zenit.org. In the letter, Tucho states that the German bishops’ proposed guidelines for blessings “effectively legitimise the status of such couples” and therefore contradict his homosexual pamphlet Fiducia Supplicans. He also criticises the German text for creating what amounts to “a kind of liturgy or para-liturgy” for homosexual blessings. Specifically, Tucho rejected: • the treatment of homosexual unions as a status to be publicly recognised, • the inclusion of ritual elements resembling marriage ceremonies, • prescribed …More
Prevost attacked the Pope, twisted his words and lied about pagan religions. So plainly he didn't defend him. If he wanted to defend him he would have simply pointed out that the violent protest that resulted in a muder of a Catholic nun and widesread destruction of property was an apt demonstration of the truth of Popes Benedict's address. In other words QED.

05/04/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. According to Greek mythology, chaos reigned in the beginning. Looking at the direction in which the European Union is heading, one gets the impression that there has been no chaos yet and that everything is currently heading toward it. Therefore, a more fitting motto for EU mythology would be: In the end, chaos reigned. The lesson of history is clear: empires and artificial constructs cannot survive indefinitely against economic realities. The EU is no longer a natural entity of voluntary cooperation, but a bureaucratic monstrosity that undermines the sovereignty and prosperity of its peoples. It is time to take an honest look. The EU, a hospice patient, does not need further life-prolonging measures. It needs a dignified end – and the chance for European nations to rebuild and improve. Prolonging its agony only lengthens the suffering of its citizens. The conclusion quoted above comes from an article published on Saturday on tkp.at: The EU …

While a statement is circulating that the family was not denied communion because “they weren’t noticed,” an official statement from the pastor appears to indicate that they were deliberately ignored because they weren’t at a “Communion station.” From the pastor, Father Coleman, posted 1 May 2026: “Dear Our Lady of Grace community, I want to address false posts on social media suggesting the denial of Holy Communion to a family kneeling at our altar rail during a Confirmation Mass on Tuesday. The assertion that Bishop Martin refused them Communion is fabricated, as the bishop did not even participate in the distribution of Holy Communion. In fact, Bishop Martin was gracious enough to join us to celebrate and confirm 34 young people in their faith. I (as pastor) and three other priests handled the distribution of Communion to more than 300 people who attended, some of whom knelt at any one of our Communion stations. None were denied. One family walked past our Communion stations and …More
If a family intends to receive Holy Communion WHEREVER (especially when kneeling at the altar rail) it is not a confusion, it is the intention of the distributors whether they want to help them or not to be unified at this special moment. Pls no further excuse about this.

Staff Writer May 4, 2026 News Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors. So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses. The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb. The archdiocese claims that “even though we have paid them over $2 billion in premiums by today’s standards, [Chubb] is now attempting to evade their legal and moral contractual obligation to settle covered claims which would bring peace and healing to victim-survivors.” Chubb …
