Archbishop Josef Grünwidl of Vienna, Austria, wants a church that is "open to changes, including changes to church commandments and laws." According to KathPress.at, he said this on March 11 in the homily at the plenary assembly of the bishops’ conference. Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Grünwidl, a well-known activist of the liberal wing for decades, in October 2025 as Archbishop of Vienna. Archbishop Grünwidl added that laws and prohibitions must not become an end in themselves. He thought of "the divorced and remarried, as well as partnerships that do not correspond to the ideal of Catholic marriage law". These people are subject to the rules and prohibitions of canon law, but, according to Mons. Grünwidl, the task is "to discuss with the individual his or her life and faith situation, and to find a pastoral solution that helps and heals." #newsUmwqddqqwi
"As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the Final Judgement, there is purifying fire. He who is truth says that whoever utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come. From this sentence we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come." Saint Gregory the Great, Dialogues, proving purgatory from Scripture "The ladder's lowest step prescribes pure prayer alone." Saint Theophanes the Confessor "To the Virgin Mary was sent, not any one of the angels, but the Archangel Gabriel; for upon this service it was meet that the highest angel should come as being the bearer of the highest of all tidings...For Gabriel is interpreted, 'the strength of God' " Saint Gregory the Great "[the Sacred Scriptures] grow with the one who reads them." Saint Gregory the Great, Homiliae in Ezechielem "From envy are born hatred, detraction, calumny, joy caused by the misfortune of a …More
Hosea 14:2-10 “We will never again say, ‘Our god,’ to the work of our hands.’” This is logical; we do not worship a representation, but what it represents, that is, God, when it is God. We do not worship an image of our parents, but God who, through his love, entered the hearts of our parents and who experienced it with us. Mark 12:28b-34 “The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God.” To love God, let us learn to let ourselves be loved by him, let us remain with him. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Iran has displayed its armada of explosive naval drones which it is using to shut the Strait of Hormuz and cripple the global economy. The regime has forced shut the crucial passageway, through which 20 per cent of the world's oil passes, as it ramps up its attacks on vessels in the region. In previously released propaganda footage, the Islamic Republic boasted of its underground tunnels stocked with naval drones, anti-ship missiles, and sea mines. It shows countless naval attack boats which are used to launch drones at passing vessels, wreaking havoc on the world's economy as oil prices spike dramatically. Iran has threatened to use its '100 metre a second' underwater missiles, which it bragged only the regime and Russia owned, to send oil prices up to $200 a barrel. Senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) General Fadavi warned: 'We have missiles that are fired from underwater and their speed is one hundred meters per second and we may use them in the coming days' Iran also …
Bishop Philip Egan of Portsmouth, England, has warned Catholics that they cannot ordinarily fulfil their Sunday obligation by attending Mass celebrated by priests of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X. He is one of the most conservative voices in the English hierarchy. Monsignor Egan told TheCatholicHerald.com on March 11 that recent popes reached out to members of the FSSPX: “As the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X is in an irregular or impaired situation with the Roman Catholic Church at the moment, its priests do not have the explicit faculties from the Ordinary to celebrate the Mass,” he believes. Bishop Egan referred to Canon 1248 §1, which states that the Sunday obligation is fulfilled when a Catholic attends "a Mass celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite.” In 2019, Bishop Egan visited St Michael’s School in Burghclere, an institution run by the FSSPX. He also has sent the FSSPX in his diocese oil from the Chrism Mass in the Novus Ordo in order to build closer bonds of communion. …More
Prevost cunningly uses the most conservative and orthodox bishops to attack SSPX, while openly decadent and heterodox "bishops" stay quiet. As world wars escalate so do Church wars.
Carter’s teacher had just assigned an essay on the "Wonders of the World," and he had absolutely no idea where to start. His grandpa, Steve, walked into the room just as the boy sighed in frustration. "Grandpa, can you help me?" Carter asked immediately. "We have to write a paper on the Wonders of the World for school. We talked about it in class, and I know exactly what everyone else is going to write about—the Pyramids, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, and all those huge monuments. But how am I supposed to write about those things when I've never even seen them in person? I want to write about something unique, something that’ll make my paper stand out. I want it to be the best one in the class." Grandpa Steve thought for a moment, settling into his chair, and answered in a calm, steady voice: "Look, Carter... there are so many wonders right in front of us that people just take for granted. The fact that you can see—that you can look at the trees, the colors of the sunset, the faces …More

"First, they honor and worship an idol: for they love the world and all the things in it more than me, who am their Creator. Therefore, the world is their god, and not I. For I said in my gospel: “Where a man’s treasure is, there his heart is also.” So, mankind’s treasure is the world, since their heart yearns towards it and not to me. Therefore, just as the Jews fell in the desert with a sword in their bodies, so too shall these people fall with the sword of eternal damnation in their soul and they shall live in damnation without end."
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 53 ~ The Mother and Son’s words of blessing for each other, and about how the Virgin is likened to the ark wherein the staff, the manna, and the tablets of the Law were, and many wonderful things are revealed in this comparison. The Virgin Mary spoke to the Son and said: “Blessed be you, my Son, my God, and Lord of angels! You are the one whose voice the prophets heard, whose body the apostles saw, and the one whom the Jews and your enemies laid their hands on. You are one God with your Divinity and Manhood and Holy Spirit. For the prophets heard the Spirit, the apostles saw the glory of your Divinity, and the Jews crucified your Manhood. Therefore, may you be blessed without beginning and without end.” The Son answered: “Blessed be you, for you are Virgin and Mother. You are the Ark of the Old Law in which …More
ByMATHILDA HELLER MARCH 11, 2026 19:20 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's hosting of controversial anti-Israeli activist Mahmoud Khalil for an iftar represents a "deeply troubling endorsement," two Jewish New York policymakers told The Jerusalem Post. Mamdani revealed on Monday that he and his wife Rama "had the great honor of hosting Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Dean at Gracie Mansion to break the fast together." Khalil, a Syrian-born social activist and former master’s student at Columbia University, is known for his radical pro-Palestine activism. He previously said that Hamas's October 7 attacks on Israel were part of "a desperate attempt to tell the world that Palestinians are here, that Palestinians are part of the equation." The Department of Homeland Security previously said, "Mahmoud Khalil refuses to condemn Hamas because he is a terrorist sympathizer, not because DHS ‘painted’ him as one. He ‘branded’ himself as an antisemite through his own hateful behavior and rhetoric." …
Tech TimesIn a stunning and controversial intervention, former Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani (HBJ) has issued a dire warning to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regarding the 2026 Iran conflict. His remarks underscore a deep-seated fear among regional veterans that the Gulf states are being maneuvered into a "lose-lose" proxy war that serves only external interests. HBJ’s assertion that the U.S. would "withdraw and sell weapons to both sides" taps into historical regional anxieties about Western "divide and rule" tactics. By referencing the "Greater Israel project," he is echoing a narrative that the current military campaign—code-named Operation Epic Fury—is not merely about containing Tehran's nuclear ambitions but is part of a broader, more radical redesign of Middle Eastern borders. This statement comes at a moment of extreme tension for Qatar. On March 4, 2026, the current Qatari leadership formally rejected Iranian claims that missile strikes hitting …More
