Today in his meeting with civil authorities and the diplomatic corps in Spain, Leo XIV portrayed the oppressive Islamic occupation of Spain (711-1492) as place of confrontation, but also of dialogue and encounter between religions: “The presence of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, for example, constituted a long-standing political, cultural, and religious reality. During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews. At the School of Translators enhanced by Alfonso X (the Wise), experts from all three religions collaborated on translating the texts of the rich Arabic, Greek and Hebrew heritage, contributing to the dissemination of texts such as those of the philosophers Averroes (1126-1198) and Maimonides (1138-1204), among others. The cities of Córdoba and Toledo, in particular, became centers of dialogue between languages, religions and knowledge. …ਹੋਰ

Same as Germany: Archbishop John Wester of of Santa Fe, USA, recently attended a meeting in Racine, Wisconsin, organized by the homosexual group New Ways Ministry. He wrote about this on AmericaMagazine.org on June 2. The meeting deepened his “pastoral concern, understanding and right judgment” about homosexuals. “As a Church, I fear we are not drawing near enough to our L.G.B.T.Q. brothers and sisters; we are not moving forward together on the same journey.” Archbishop Wester calls this “especially true when it comes to the experiences of our transgender and nonbinary people, many of whom feel we approach them with suspicion and hostility”. The sins by these people are for Archbishop Wester “deeply complex and personal human journeys”. His time in Racine was “an opportunity to gain a deeper, more empathetic view about transgender people”. The Archbishop started believing that “gender is determined by specialized areas within the brain” and compares sexual distortion to being left …ਹੋਰ

Leo XIV Jokes About Homosexual Activist: Pope Leo XIV, en route to Spain Saturday, joked aboard the papal plane that he's competing with the homosexual activist "Bad Bunny" - who's performing in Madrid the same weekend. "Many will choose Bad Bunny," he told reporters. "But a few will come see the pope - and that says something."
Pope Leo XIV on the papal plane to Spain: “Do [young people] want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the pope? Many will go see Bad Bunny, but I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that says something, you know.”
Ha, ha, ha, ha...the sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance is so funny says the Devil! Hahahah, it's so funny to see so many burning in Hell for this, says the Devil!

Cardinal Robert Sarah spoke with LaNef.net (May 5) about Pope Francis, the return of paganism within the Church, Vatican II, and the decline of the West. Main points. On Francis' Pontificate - "Loving the pope does not mean suspending all critical intelligence." - "It would be unjust to attribute to one man alone a crisis that largely preceded him." - "We must recognize that an era can leave wounds of confusion." Paganism within the Church - "Paganism is not merely the worship of visible idols; it is also the loss of the spirit of adoration." - "When God is no longer first—even within the Church—everything else is distorted." - "When faith is reduced to sociological language, liturgy to entertainment, morality to endless negotiation, and the Church to an institution that must adapt itself to the desires of the age, then something of paganism returns." - "The world does not expect the Church to repeat its own words; it expects the Church to open heaven to it." - "Susceptibility to the …ਹੋਰ
" Paganism is not merely the worship of visible idols; it is also the loss of the spirit of adoration" --- At the same time H.E. Sarah wants people to adhere to the religion declaring that in paganism: "men contemplate the divine mystery and express it through an inexhaustible abundance of myths and through searching philosophical inquiry. They seek freedom from the anguish of our human condition either through ascetical practices or profound meditation or a flight to God with love and trust" or that paganism "in its various forms, realizes the radical insufficiency of this changeable world; it teaches a way by which men, in a devout and confident spirit, may be able either to acquire the state of perfect liberation, or attain, by their own efforts or through higher help, supreme illumination. Likewise, other religions found everywhere try to counter the restlessness of the human heart, each in its own manner, by proposing "ways," comprising teachings, rules of life, and sacred rites" …ਹੋਰ
David Lammy. Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, CC-BY-2.0, Wikimedia Commons The Justice Secretary’s attempt to defend controversial police guidance on race has exposed a contradiction that goes to the heart of Britain’s increasingly confused approach to policing. Faced with public outrage over guidance that appeared to encourage officers to treat ethnic-minority suspects differently, Lammy reached for an example involving Orthodox Jews and the Sabbath. Police, he suggested, sometimes have to consider cultural or religious circumstances rather than simply treating everyone the same. At first glance, this may sound reasonable. A voluntary appointment can be arranged around religious observance. Courts and public bodies routinely make practical accommodations for religious practices, disabilities, childcare responsibilities and countless other legitimate considerations. But that is precisely why Lammy’s argument fails. The controversy surrounding police race guidance was never …
Bishop Andrzej Jeż of Tarnów, the Polish Bishops' Conference delegate for municipal affairs, has backed local officials who oppose the registration of homosex marriages in Polish civil registry records. “There are higher values that must not be sacrificed for the sake of peace,” Bishop Jeż wrote in a message issued on the occasion of Local Government Day last week. His statement followed rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union and Poland's Supreme Administrative Court requiring Poland to recognize a homosex marriage lawfully contracted in Germany. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński subsequently instructed registry offices throughout the country to implement the court's decision. Bishop Jeż argued that Poland's Constitution holds “absolute precedence over European and international law” and defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. He added that no external institutions or EU courts have the right to impose a different definition of the family on …ਹੋਰ
@Michael Haynes “Pope Francis has turned the indissolubility of marriage into a farce through “Amoris Laetitia.” It now applies only in theory. In practice, with a few “pastoral distinctions”—on whatever basis, by whomever—one can live in adultery with a clear conscience. The Vatican’s non-liturgical blessing of few seconds for same-sex and unmarried couples (“Fiducia supplicans”) represents a further departure from Christian marriage.”
Today, Leo XIV touched on the concept of a just war. During the flight from Rome to Madrid, he told Franca Giansoldati that “there is no just war” in Iran. Leo XIV pointed to his encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas”, which says that just war theory is “now outdated. Today, he repeated: "I think this has already been made very clear: the notion of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we have today or humanity's capacity for destruction." Leo XIV made “overcoming the theory of the ‘just war'” one of the themes of the June 26-27 summit of cardinals he convened at the Vatican. #newsUmthcgthhs

The Destruction of Catholic Marriage How Von Hildebrand's Subjective Personalism Erased the Objective Order of Catholic Marriage — and Produced the Crisis We Now Inhabit There is a word for what happened to Catholic marriage theology in the twentieth century. The word is flattening. Not development. Not enrichment. Not a recovery of neglected truths. Flattening — the systematic removal of every hierarchy from a reality that was structured by hierarchy from top to bottom: the hierarchy of ends in marriage, the hierarchy of the sexes in nature, the governing authority of the husband in the household, and the moral ordering of the conjugal act itself. One by one, all the heights were leveled. What remained was a single plane of mutual feeling, going nowhere in particular, accountable to nothing above itself. The man most responsible for this was Dietrich von Hildebrand — a German-American Catholic philosopher who fled the Nazis, and whose ideas now govern the mainstream of Catholic marriage …ਹੋਰ
It seems very well written peace Henry. Well done. I must say about this paragraph: " The couple is pursuing the act's primary meaning. They are simply declining its secondary result. This is the logic — never stated plainly, but structurally present — that underlies the catastrophic collapse of Catholic fertility. " It is actually said, very plainly, by the v2 ultra-liberal-modernists, whereby one of them simply were the infiltrants (remember Bella Dodd and her list of 1100 masonic-communist infiltrants). It is written in de new very Code of Canon Law 1983. A result of this is the new Code of Canon Law which came in 1983., which has mixed purposes of marriage, so that puts an abstract concept of "common good of the spouses" in front of the procreation and raising children! But there is more: For Christian understanding of marriages, the Old Testament Book of Tobit is extremely important. Especially those warnings given by God through Archangel Rafael to Tobit 6, 16-17, and Tobit 6, 22. …ਹੋਰ
Michael Jackson left the Jehovah's witness in 1987, from there, he kind of stumble between various religious denominations seeking refuge... Michael always acknowledge Jesus as God and perhaps, he never went catholic (and this is my own assumption), because he saw the child abuse from some members of the Church, the same thing he was accused of by people wanting to ruin him financially and just straight up destroy him (Sony). Perhaps Michael is still in purgatory as we speak, or maybe in Heaven (I hope), so... please, remember to pray for the souls in purgatory daily, they need those prayers, to me the most quick way is with St. Gertrude the great prayer, the BEST way is with a Rosary.

Throughout the week, you wake up early, prepare meals, organize the house, solve problems, take care of your loved ones, and do everything possible to make sure nothing is lacking. Many times, you end the day tired, yet you keep going because you love your family. That’s why, when Sunday arrives, remember that you also have the right to rest. Not because cooking is a bad thing, nor because taking care of your loved ones is a burden. On the contrary. But someone who is always giving also needs a moment to regain their strength. Before all else on Sunday, first go to church. Go for a walk if you feel like it. Visit someone you care about. Read a book. Sit quietly for a while. Breathe without looking at the clock. Give yourself a few hours to do something that makes you feel good. The meal can be simpler for a day. The house does not have to be perfect every minute. And your family can also help and learn to handle some things on their own. Sometimes women become so accustomed to taking …ਹੋਰ

The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary reveal the heartbreaking truth of her union with Jesus’ Passion. Every wound of Christ pierced her heart. From Simeon’s prophecy to the flight into Egypt, from Calvary to the burial of her Son, Mary suffered not only as His Mother — but as our Mother too. Her tears were shed for us, her anguish embraced for our salvation. The saints call her the Queen of Martyrs, for though she shed no blood, every fiber of her soul was pierced with pain. In this video, we meditate on each sorrow — with Scripture, the Fathers, and Catholic tradition — to understand how her suffering unites us to Christ. Mary is not only the Mother of Sorrows but also the Cause of Our Joy. Credits to youtube Maker: Excerpta Catechismi
