Augustinians to Close Cork Church After 800 Years: After nearly 800 years in Cork, Ireland, the Order of St Augustine will close St Augustine’s Church this July. The decision, described as being taken with “great sadness,” follows an accelerating decline in vocations that began in the mid-1970s. Of the 70 Augustinian priests in Ireland, only 10 are under 70. The Cork community is now down to just three members.
Religious order to end near 800-year association with Cork when it closes church in city centre
A religious community which has been ministering to the people of Cork for almost 800 years its to close its church in the city centre later this year. Vicar Provincial of the Augustinians in Ireland, Fr Paddy O’Reilly, told the congregation attending a Vigil Mass at St Augustine’s on Washington Street on Saturday that the order was closing the church in July due to falling vocations. O’Reilly told Mass-goers that the decision to close St Augustine’s was taken with “great sadness”. He said that since the mid-1970s, the order had experienced “a slow but accelerating decline in vocations”. According to the Order of St Augustine website, it has 70 priests living in 10 locations in Ireland. READ MORE O’Reilly told worshippers that only 10 of these priests are under the age of 70 and more than half its members are over 80. It is understood that St Augustine’s, which was run with the consent of the Bishop of Cork and Ross, is now home to just three Augustinian priests following the deaths …
It would be nice if “Fr. Paddy” (as I’m sure he’s now known) would own up to the fact that he and his Modernist confreres bare as much responsibility for the collapsing membership as any of the other supporters of the Conciliar Church. He’d have to have been living in a cave not to realize that he could revive his membership almost overnight by simply offering the Traditional Latin Mass once a week. Indeed, if he were to offer it exclusively, as well as denouncing the false and heretical teachings of Vatican II (such as Ecumenism, Religious Liberty and Collegiality), the church would be as crowded as it was a hundred years ago. Yet, he won’t do that. He’ll put the church on the market and allow the once sacred space to be turned into a restaurant, a hotel, or even an Islamic mosque. One thing is for certain, however. He will never sell it to the SSPX no matter how generous the offer may be. After all, the Society is authentically Catholic. I shed not a tear for them.
No les perdonaron que quemaran en Irán efigies de Baal con la leyenda “666”, logos masónicos y una bandera del estado moderno de Israel. El ataque de ayer de a la escuela en la que murieron + de 100 niños iraníes no fue casualidad, fue precisamente una ofrenda a Baal... ¡NADA ES CASUALIDAD!
Saint Joan of Arc, Lovely Maid of Orleans, as thou didst battle with the enemies of France to enthrone an earthly king, lead us now in our struggle against satan to establish the Kingship of Christ on Earth. Intercede for us before Christ's Heavenly Throne, that we may be victorious in our struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Help us to follow your exemplary conduct in the face of our enemies and seek only the triumph of Almighty God! Amen!

An unpublished letter by Benedict XVI on Christian prayer, dated April 27, 2021, has been published in the Italian book ‘La fede del futuro’. His short meditation. In general, prayer is the fundamental religious act. It is an attempt to establish a direct connection with God. The peculiarity of Christian prayer is that one prays with Jesus Christ and to Him simultaneously. As both man and God, Jesus can be the bridge that overcomes the infinite abyss between God and man. In this sense, Christ is the ontological possibility of prayer. For this reason, he is also the practical guide to prayer. His disciples, who had seen him pray, addressed this request to him: "Lord, teach us to pray" (Lk 11:1). They recalled that John the Baptist had taught his disciples to pray, knowing that Jesus was infinitely closer to God than even the greatest religious figure: John the Baptist. Thus, the two fundamental characteristics of prayer emerge: those relative to being and awareness. These two characteristics …بیشتر
Keir Starmer today insisted he 'stands by' his decision to snub Donald Trump's Iran strikes because they were 'not thought through' - despite a brutal rebuke from the US. Making a statement to MPs on the mounting crisis, the PM acknowledged that the president was not happy that the UK initially refused to get involved. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth went further this afternoon by swiping at 'hand-wringing' from America's long-standing allies. But in a dramatic escalations of tensions in the Special Relationship, Sir Keir insisted he did not believe in 'regime change from the skies'. 'It's my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest. That is what I've done and I stand by it.' Sir Keir is bracing for a battering from his own left-wing MPs after conducting a partial U-turn last night, agreeing that American forces can use British bases for 'defensive' actions against Iranian retaliation. As he tries to quell the backlash, the PM told the Commons: 'The use of British bases is …
This sounds awfully familiar during the bho era. When officers refused to kill US citizens. Now it's trump's turn. All because these men refused to break the law and kill innocent people in the water! Such evilness will not be forgotten. In heaven or on earth. How many more will be fired or step down? President Trump fires 6 top-level military … How many officers have also stepped down so far? This was back in Oct of 2025. I am not sure if anyone else has stepped down yet. US Military Leadership Exodus: 8 Top Officers … And so you know, the clogged toilets were on purpose. Former Military both men and women including Larry Johnson among others have said, it was a soft "MUTINY"! NO one wants to go to war for trump and bibi. Everyone is sick of the lies and Countries being attacked for their agenda! Let trump send his son's into war. Let's see how he likes it. But don't hold your breath. NON Of them are going anywhere except getting richer off of us!
At the Sunday Angelus in St. Peter’s Square, Leo XIV voiced deep concern over the escalating violence involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. He warned that the situation could lead to “a tragedy of enormous proportions” if hostilities continue. “Stability and peace are not built through mutual threats, nor through weapons,” Leo XIV said, stressing that only “reasonable, authentic, and responsible dialogue” can bring lasting peace. He urged all parties to assume their moral responsibility and halt the spiral of violence before it becomes an “irreparable abyss”. Calling for diplomacy to regain its central role, he emphasized the need to promote justice and peaceful coexistence. #newsWizrkaihsy
Classic speech of UN pope or actually unpope. Yeah, how about Christians in China, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and so many other places- is their Pope only in Heaven?
On February 11, the Priests of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter gathered in Fatima, Portugal, to renew the Fraternity’s consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, entrusting their work and apostolates once again to Our Lady.
Bishop Joseph Strickland wrote on February 3 on PillarsOfFaith.net and on February 23 on X.com a statement about the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X. (FSSPX). Key phrases. First Statement: Vatican's Silence Is a Decision - “The current situation involving the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has once again revealed a serious and unresolved reality within the Church – one that cannot be dismissed, delayed indefinitely, or answered with silence.” - “Without new bishops, the continuity of that priestly formation and sacramental life cannot be sustained.” - “When such concerns are brought forward calmly, respectfully, and repeatedly – and when they are met not with clarity but with silence – delay itself becomes a decision.” - “Unity in the Church is not preserved by ambiguity.” Second Statement: Continuity Is Not Rebellion - “Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre believed that foundational elements of Catholic life – traditional priestly formation, clear sacramental theology, and the ancient Roman …بیشتر
Truth of the Catholic Faith vs lying novelties Pope Pius X fight against modernism (synthesis of all heresies ). From EWTN crowed to JPII groupies the poison ingested in making sense of Vatican II contradictions. Mother Teresa , Mother Angelica , JPII thought Assisi prayer meeting was the best thing since slice bread.
Fr, Malachi Martin said that Archbishop Lefebvre and the SSPX were like a chicken bone in the throat of Paul VI. He couldn't swallow them and he couldn't cough them up.
Examine the question: "Why" is the word we use to express the chain of cause and effect. If there is nothing, that nothing cannot cause something. Every relationship and law we know is a relation of something to something. Even our reason itself is circumscribed by the something in which we exist. The question is stupid so the answer has to be stupid. (Devine revelation excluded.)
