(LifeSiteNews) — It has come to light that the bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina presided over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion.
Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July, according to an archived page of North Carolina Catholics, a diocesan publication. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy and “brin(g) in good spirits,” according to a Native American site. The smoke is “shared with people as an act of prayer and spiritual …lifesitenews.com
Since the pope has already allowed these sacrilegious acts, is it no wonder that more prelates are doing the same?

BREAKING: Church goes up in flames in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, hours after Truth and Reconciliation Day. City officials and the fire chief …Leo XIV wants the Church to be an "open house" where "everyone has a place".
Today, Pope Leo XIV published his video message for October. The prayer intention, using the usual buzzwords, is about mental health ministry, calling on the Church to listen without judging and support those who are suffering.
The key phrase is: "May your Church be an open house, a safe space where everyone has a place — a community that accompanies and never excludes; that listens without judging; and that draws near without fear."

UCC "pastor" Rev. Nathan Dannison gives long-winded explanation of why he can call his god a "queer god." He then explains why there is ackshuuually "no biblical definition of marriage" and the language of "one man and one woman" was added in 2003 to benefit "people in power."
He aint a Christian, just a pagan.

Last Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys lost to Baltimore in Rio. The game was settled by a field goal with one second on the clock.
Next Sunday, a presidential vote in Brazil may come down to the last second, too. It will be close and controversial, as we are hearing from the Guardian:
Sunday’s election in Brazil could hardly be a clearer-cut choice — nor a closer call. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, is neck and neck in the polls with Flávio Bolsonaro, the son and champion of the jailed far-right former president Jair. Mr Bolsonaro senior is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup to “annihilate” democracy after losing the last election.
Brazil is Latin America’s largest democracy, but military dictatorship is in its recent past. Mr Bolsonaro wants to free his father and those who rioted in his support in 2023. The senator has campaigned as a less …medforth.biz
The Church is rotting from the inside, the world sits on a powder keg, and things look dimly for America. Just like Rome with its cereal and circus, so many are just consumed with sport and entertainment.
The communists are winning in France. They use both islam and the social laws made by the judges in order to impose a ban on property. The socalled « front républicain » which is antichristian want to lead to the far-left victory.
Peoples often neglect how Russia built the biggest mosque in Europe as of 1905. Its part of the Russian errors for which Our Lady of Fatima warned us
Unfortunately, Russia still has not been consecrated, nor has she converted.
The Synodal Church: Archbishop Hebda Persecutes Priest For His Affiliation With The SSPX
Father Philip Conklin, formerly a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, has left the diocese to join the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), Archbishop Bernard Hebda announced this week.
Archbishop Hebda explained that the priest had decided to affiliate with the SSPX following a sabbatical to discern his vocation in March, per an article in the Catholic Spirit, the official newspaper of the archdiocese.
The announcement came in a letter to the parishioners of St. Michael and St. Mary in Stillwater, where Fr. Conklin had served as a priest since his ordination in 2024 until earlier this year.
The archbishop further stressed that, because of Conklin’s affiliation with the Society and his refusal to end it, he decided to open a canonical process to “clarify the situation and his status.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) spoke from the pulpit at a Catholic church this week, co-opting the authority of the Church to accuse conservatives of making Catholics “turn against … our trans brothers and sisters and neighbors and siblings.”

Three of twelve NGOs against a Spanish government proposal to accelerate returns from Ceuta to Morocco have historical or institutional links to the Jesuits, reports InfoVaticana.com.
- The Jesuit Migrant Service is part of the Jesuits’ social network.
- Entreculturas was promoted by the order and is chaired by Enric Puiggròs, the Jesuit provincial in Spain.
- Oxfam Intermón originated in 1956 as a Jesuit missionary organization.
The proposed decree followed the large-scale arrival of migrants in Ceuta on July 30 and 31.
The twelve NGOs opposed provisions that would impose a seven-day deadline for certain asylum applications, reduce the appeal period to five days and, in certain cases, remove the right to remain in Spain while proceedings were pending.
The government later placed the proposal under legal review amid questions about its compatibility with constitutional and international law.

Who would have ever thought that the Catholic Church would be responsible for the collapse of Christian civilization.

No wonder Charley Kirk would not convert to Catholicism.
