This is the Pawtucket mass shooter. Women were forced to change in front of this guy in the gym locker room because it was easier than confronting the reality that he is mentally ill.
On Sunday morning, Pope Leo XIV celebrated the Eucharist at a parish in Ostia during a pastoral visit as Bishop of Rome. One detail drew particular attention: grown women wearing make-up and sneakers served at the altar. While not unprecedented, it is uncommon to have such women serve at a Papal Eucharist. It had not occurred during Leo XIV’s pontificate until then.
In 1870 the Church drew a line in stone. At the First Vatican Council, under Pope Pius IX, the bishops didn’t hedge. They defined that the Pope holds supreme, full, immediate, and universal jurisdiction over the whole Church. Supreme means supreme. Universal means universal. Catholic English isn’t that complicated. And yet, here we are. A certain stripe of modern “traditionalist” thumps Vatican I with one hand and swats away the living Pope with the other. They revere papal primacy in sepia tone. They champion infallibility—preferably retroactive. They pledge loyalty to Peter, provided Peter is safely dead. You can’t swear allegiance to the Chair of Peter and then treat its current occupant like a temporary intern. Let’s be clear. Not every papal utterance is infallible. Catholics aren’t required to pretend prudential judgments are carved on Sinai. But Vatican I wasn’t only about rare ex cathedra fireworks. It was about authority—real authority—attached to a living office for the …More
"Let’s be clear. Not every papal utterance is infallible. Catholics aren’t required to pretend prudential judgments are carved on Sinai. But Vatican I wasn’t only about rare ex cathedra fireworks. It was about authority—real authority—attached to a living office for the sake of unity" ---- True. And what does Vatican I extraordinary Magisterium teach us about the papal authority? For example it teaches: "For the holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might saintly guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles." Neque enim Petri successoribus Spiritus Sanctus promissus est, ut eo revelante novam doctrinam patefacerent, sed ut eo assistente traditam per Apostolos revelationem seu fidei depositum sancte custodirent et fideliter exponerent. And when we compare it with the practice of post-conciliar popes we see plainly that …More
Did the early Christians worship God like most modern Protestants do today? You know what I’m talking about. Casual gathering. Focused on a communal meal vibe. Hands in the air. Relaxed atmosphere. Almost like a spiritual hangout session. Or even drifting into that 60s hippie style emotional expression where structure and ritual are seen as suspicious. No. That is not what you see when you actually look at history. It is basically the opposite. Start with the obvious reality people ignore. The Apostles were Jews. Practicing Jews. That means they were formed in a system where worship was defined by law, sacrifice, and ritual. Worship was not improvised. Worship was not casual. Worship meant altar, priesthood, incense, chanting, Scripture proclamation, and blood sacrifice. That is how God commanded Israel to approach Him. This wasn’t optional cultural flavor. This was covenant obedience. And these men did not suddenly become modern Western individualists after the Resurrection. They …More

Kids in ICE Concentration Camp “Distraught” and “Horribly Sick” Due to Inhumane Conditions youtube.com/watch?v=eTZVBoO3vXwThe Humanist Report Reporting from ProPublica and NBC News about a notorious ICE detention center in Dilley, Texas is shedding light on unthinkable conditions children of all ages are facing. The children, reportedly, are getting sick presumably because they’re sometimes being given food that is moldy or invested with bugs and only have limited access to clean drinking water. Moreover, lawyers claim the poor treatment of children is being used as a point of leverage to get their parents to self-deport. In this video we’ll discuss the nightmarish conditions in the Dilley concentration camp and share stories from some of the children that are being imprisoned there indefinitely.
Saint Isaac has the anti-thesis of today's false definition mercy. “REPENTANCE is the door of mercy, open to those who seek it diligently; by this door we enter into Divine Mercy and BY NO OTHER ENTRANCE can we find this mercy.” Saint Isaac the Syrian
