The calm, the coherence and the logic of St. Joseph by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira March, 19th 1976 What was the occasion in Saint Joseph’s life when he practiced logic to a heroic degree? It was the well known episode when he saw that Our Lady had conceived a child of which he was not the father. The Gospel mentions the matter. He was faced with an absurd situation. On one hand, it was evident to him that Our Lady was a saint because her sanctity shone forth in every way. However, on the other hand, he faced a situation that he could neither explain or live with. Instead of denouncing her as was required by Hebrew law, he came to the only logical conclusion: “The unnecessary person in this house is neither this mother, who is the owner and queen of this place, nor the child she has conceived. I am the unnecessary one. I will take my leave and vanish. I don’t understand this mystery, but I will not rise up against it. I will spend my days far off, venerating the mystery that I do not …Vairāk
Leons XIV vēlas pasludināt par svēto pretrunīgi vērtēto „AIDS priesteri” Don Luidži. Leons XIV ir pavēris ceļu uz Luidži Di Liegro (1928–1997) beatifikāciju – viņš bija Romas priesteris, kurš vēlējās būt tuvu cilvēkiem, kuri mirst no AIDS. Pāvests to paziņoja piektdien, diecēzes asamblejas laikā Svētā Jāņa Laterāna bazilikā. Viņš teica, ka ir „ar prieku apstiprinājis” nepieciešamos soļus, lai sāktu diecēzes izmeklēšanu par Di Liegro dzīvi, tikumiem un svētuma reputāciju. Visvairāk strīdus izraisījušais notikums Di Liegro kalpošanas laikā notika 1988. gadā. Kā Romas „Caritas” vadītājs viņš uzstāja uz to, lai Villa Glori, kas atrodas Parioli — turīgā Romas rajonā —, tiktu atvērta mājvieta cilvēkiem, kuri slimo ar AIDS. Tā bija AIDS panikas kulminācija. HIV tika saistīts galvenokārt ar narkomāniem un homoseksuāļiem. Iedzīvotāji protestēja. Pēc ziņām, pret patversmes atvēršanu tika savākti vairāk nekā tūkstoš parakstu. Roma uz laiku atlikāja patversmes atvēršanu; demonstranti rīkoja gājienu …Vairāk

12. septembrī Londonas Haidparkā esošā Svētā Jāņa baznīca, kas ir anglikāņu dievnams, tika iznomāta, lai tajā notiktu pasākums „Modest Fashion Week London”. Šis modes skates pasākums bija veltīts musulmaņu modei un sievietēm, kas valkā hidžabu.
More embarrassment for the Church of England. St John’s Church in London hosted the ‘Modest Fashion Week’, with parades of hijab- and niqab-wearing women.
In 1947, Italian nurse and postulant Pierina Gilli reported a series of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in Montichiari, Italy. In one, Gilli said Mary appeared with three swords piercing her heart, symbolizing the suffering and spiritual failures among priests and religious. In a later vision, the swords were replaced by three roses — white, red and yellow — representing prayer, sacrifice and penance. She reported another series of apparitions in 1966 in nearby Fontanelle. In July 2024, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith granted a nihil obstat to the devotion associated with Gilli’s experiences and messages, allowing it to be promoted publicly while stopping short of declaring the reported apparitions supernatural.
Serrisā, Val d’Europe, netālu no Disnejlendas Parīzē tiek celta Svētā Kolombāna baznīca. Kompleksā ietilps draudzes centrs, kultūras centrs un katoļu skola, un tā platība būs aptuveni 4 000 m². 18. septembrī tika iesvētīti trīs jauni zvani un pacelti 36 metrus augstajā zvanu tornī. Ceremoniju vadīja Meaux bīskaps Žans-Ivs Nahmias un palīgbīskaps Gijoms de Lisle. Zvani sver 275 kg, 190 kg un 155 kg. Lielākais no tiem ir „Geneviève-Étienne”, bet mazākais – „Espérance” („Cerība”).

Leo XIV wants to beatify controversial Aids-Priest Don Luigi. Leo XIV has opened the way towards the beatification of Luigi Di Liegro (1928–1997), a Roman priest who wanted to be close to people dying of AIDS. The pope made the announcement on Friday during the diocesan assembly in the Basilica of St John Lateran. He said he had “gladly approved” the steps necessary to begin the diocesan investigation into Di Liegro’s life, virtues and reputation for holiness. The most controversial episode of Di Liegro’s ministry came in 1988. As head of Caritas Rome, he insisted on opening a home for people with AIDS at Villa Glori in Parioli — an affluent Roman neighbourhood. It was the height of the AIDS panic. HIV was associated particularly with drug users and homosexuals. Residents protested. More than a thousand signatures were reportedly collected against the home. Rome temporarily delayed the opening; demonstrators marched against the project, while scouts, environmentalists and others organised …Vairāk
The synodal-conciliar hierarchy canonized Vatican second; today, Vatican II is "saint Vatican second," thanks to the canonization of all the post-vatican II popes.
Svētā Pētera bazilika un katedrāles tiks ļaunprātīgi izmantotas kā pasākumu norises vietas, lai atzīmētu Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas svētkus. 21. septembrī, ANO Starptautiskajā miera dienā, Svētā Pētera bazilikā tiks atskaņota vācu kinorežisora Filipa Gröninga starptautiskā audio instalācija „Sounds of Loss”. 49 stundu garumā neregulāros intervālos skanēs 1096 iepriekš ierakstīti klikšķi un pieskārieni, katrs no kuriem simbolizēs vienu karā nogalinātu cilvēku.

Bishop Strickland about the Traditional Latin Mass and the conciliar church Brothers and Sisters in Christ, For many Catholics, the traditional Roman liturgy is not merely in danger of being taken away. It has already been taken away. Diocesan celebrations have been suppressed, parishes have been forbidden to continue them, and faithful families have been told that the Mass which nourished generations of saints is no longer available to them. Some now drive long distances to find it. Others have no diocesan celebration within reach at all. Where communities such as the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter remain, the faithful are grateful. These priests have sought to preserve the traditional liturgy while maintaining a recognized canonical relationship with Rome. But precisely because they continue to submit to Roman authority, their people still live with the possibility that permissions may be narrowed, communities displaced, or the Mass restricted again. They know that what is permitted …Vairāk

Mounted police and tear gas were used to disperse the crowd, while some protesters threw flares at officers. Chants included calls for “remigration” and “White lives matter.”
French military chaplain Romain Ghandou has sparked a political storm, with a prominent left-wing politician calling for his imprisonment. The video is from a 7 Oct 2025 Mass at Carcassonne Cathedral, before soldiers of the 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (3e RPIMa). “Calm down, leftists! Breathe through your nose,” Ghandou said, drawing laughter and applause. He attacked “liars,” “incompetents” and those who “lecture everyone.” He urged soldiers to “keep fighting” and have “the courage of your convictions,” warning that otherwise France would be ridiculed and “others will take our place.” Le Canard enchaîné publicised the footage Friday, sparking outrage on the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), alleged “racist insults” and said: “His place is in prison.” Le Canard linked the sermon to the “Great Replacement,” though Ghandou does not use that phrase in the published excerpt.

Making blanket statements about "mother love" is naive, at best. It looks good on the Hallmark channel, but in reality, not so much. Ask the Clancy children.
Correct. Our Lady did not intervene for the Crusades to take over the Holy Land (with the Blessed Sacrament already present there). Rather she intervened to aid and protect the Crusaders from Muslim invaders (self defense).
Sydney Archbishop: Homosexuals Mocked Catholic Faith Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher noted the producers of a homosexual performance staged inside a former Catholic church on Kent Street deliberately mocked the Catholic faith. Writing in CatholicWeekly.com.au on July 28, a week after hundreds of Catholics gathered outside the venue to pray the Rosary, Archbishop Fisher rejected claims that the show was simply artistic expression. The performances were "not neutral expressions of art" but "a deliberate appropriation, sexualisation, and denigration of symbols and rituals specific and sacred to the Catholic faith." The archbishop cited promotional images showing a pig offering McDonald's fries as the "Body of Christ," male performers dressed as nuns, and events titled "Sunday Mess" and "Unholy Confessions." He considered claims - that the production was not intended to mock Catholics - were "unpersuasive." "For Catholics, the Eucharist is not a cultural motif available for parody," Fisher …Vairāk
