From DA: "I am a practicing catholic. And I need to say something that's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, hundreds of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned to the ground, pastors kidnapped and killed. Communities that have practiced their faith for centuries are being wiped out. Pope Leo XIV has said almost nothing. NO named condemnations, NO emergency visits, NO breaking of protocol, just quiet platitudes about dialogue and peace - directed at nobody in particular. BUT the week Trump escalated the Iran war? Leo flew across continents, gave media interviews, posted viral messages and had three Cardinals appear on 60 minutes in what felt like a coordinated response. Bishop Strickland was removed for defending the Church doctrine. Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico was removed for defending religious exemptions that the cathechism itself supports. During Covid, goverments padlocked churches across …More
This year's March for Life took place today in Dublin Thousands attended the annual event, which drew attention to the rapidly increasing numbers, with 60,000 babies aborted since 2019 and almost 1 in 5 pregnancies now ending in abortion
A letter in today's Irish Times claims that 'most Catholics' support women's ordination The letter writer claims that it should be 'the headline issue at the National Synodal Assembly of Ireland on October 17th, 2026'
So, what! The laity have no voice at all in changing dogma and traditional practices of the Catholic Church. Wrong is wrong even though everyone is doing it, and right is right even if no one is doing it.

Maxpein @maximumpain333 Scientists hooked electrodes up to Tibetan monks during deep meditation — expecting to see relaxed, quiet brain activity. What they recorded instead stopped them cold. Gamma waves. At amplitudes never measured in any normal human brain before. Levels so high that researchers hadn't even considered them possible to sustain in a conscious person. These monks weren't just calm. Their brains were operating on a frequency that didn't exist in scientific literature until that moment. But here's the part that should make you stop scrolling. These monks weren't doing anything new. The practices they were using — the specific meditation techniques, the concentrated attention, the precise mental training — were thousands of years old. Passed down through lineages that stretch back further than most recorded history. Tibetan Buddhist traditions had been deliberately training the mind this way for centuries before a single neuroscientist existed on this planet. They didn't …More

No. Somehow this happens to others too. I think that makers of databank and its filters and algorithms are the servants of the "popemakers" who made the last two. To make it really screwtapisch, they filter not Bergoglio away but only Prevost

On 27 April, Mrs Sarah Mullally commissioned the Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome, Anthony Ball, as her representative to the Holy See. Despite the Anglicans having their own church in Rome, the ceremony took place at the Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola which belongs to the Jesuits. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle delivered a homily about an alleged "common faith and unity in Jesus Christ".
The optics of this really aren't good. Why did this need to happen in a Catholic church in Rome when there's a perfectly decent Anglican one within the walls?
In the afternoon, following the fruitless and sacrilegious meeting with the apostate Prevost, the apostate "Popess" of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, presided over a sacrilegious parody of Vespers, profaning the Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, in complicity with Luis Antonio Tagle.
