26 Years Later: Why Jeanette Hall Is Still Grateful to Be Alive: In Oregon, USA, on July 17, 2000, Jeanette Hall was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Believing she had no future, she asked her doctor for assisted suicide under Oregon's newly enacted law. Instead of writing the prescription, Dr. Kenneth Stevens took the time to understand her fears and encouraged her to consider treatment. One question changed everything: "Wouldn't you like to see your son graduate from the police academy?" Jeanette chose treatment. She survived, attended her son's graduation, and years later told Dr. Stevens: "You saved my life. If I had gone to a doctor that believed in assisted suicide, I would not be here."
Actually, this is a dry run. Tucho has proposed to change the designation of the period between Advent and Lent from "Ordinary Time" to "Fabulous Time" with rainbow rather than green chasable.

Talking to Diane Montagna on July 16, Cardinal Robert Sarah argues that Leo XIV wants to allow the Roman rite, but fails because of the bishops and that the pope will be “very prudent” about the dissemination of the pro-homosexual final text of the synod's Study Group Number 9. On Leo XIV's letter to the French bishops "It seems to me that the Holy Father did well to write to the French Bishops, encouraging them to be more open to the traditional Mass, because it is a Mass we have celebrated for centuries." Follow what Leo XIV says "I think that what was written to the French Bishops must apply to all bishops: be more open, so as not to create division for no reason." "We must follow what Pope Leo says - that is, not be so averse toward something holy, something beautiful, something conducive to recollection." Traditionis Custodes should be abrogated "Yes, let's hope so. This depends on the Holy Father's decision, but perhaps the Holy Father could be helped. If, for example, in a Consistory …Ibindi
Cardinal Robert Sarah questioned whether the Church has authority to suppress the Traditional Latin Mass and urged bishops to be more open to the faithful devoted to it.
The word salad Cardinal Sarah is talking about: Finally, dear brothers, you intend to address the delicate theme of the Liturgy, to which the Holy Father is particularly attentive, in the context of the growth of communities attached to the Vetus Ordo. It is troubling that a painful wound continues to open in the Church concerning the celebration of the Mass, the very sacrament of unity. To heal it, a fresh regard from each person toward the other, with a greater understanding of the other's sensibility, is surely needed — a regard that could allow brothers enriched by their diversity to welcome one another mutually, in charity and in the unity of faith. May the Holy Spirit suggest to you concrete solutions that would generously include those sincerely attached to the Vetus Ordo, while respecting the orientations set forth by the Second Vatican Council regarding the Liturgy. --Cardinal Pietro Parolin The Modernists use obscurity and wiggle words. They know if the Modernist theology gets …Ibindi
And? How can we stop it when Trump, Kennedy and the fake Dr. Oz is working with phizer to help them make more? Soon, I would bewared of Trump trying to force it on us by the request of Bourla. After all it's Trump who refuses to listen to Dr.'s like McCullough that it is dangerous even with mounds of proof in the Senate. NONE of them care. It's their plan. They will do all they can to force it on us and dupe the people. But many have woken up. Still many more need to be shaken awake.
Leo XIV Appoints Indian Bishop Practicing Indigenous Adivasi Rites: Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed the indigenious Bishop Albert Hemrom, 57, as Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Guwahati, India. This video was taken in October 2023 when he celebrated the silver jubilee of St John Vianney Church in Uriamghat, Assam. Monsignor Hemrom participated in the Aarti ceremony with the Adivasi community. Women held ceremonial brass platters (thali). Incense was waved before the bishop to purify him and invoke blessings. Then, a red tilak blessing mark was placed on his forehead. Finally, he was presented with a traditional Assamese gamosa, a handwoven white-and-red ceremonial scarf, which was draped around his neck.
Leo XIV promoted this Bishop, Dr. Albert Hemrom to a major Archdicoese. The video shows him at the St John Vianney Church at Uriamghat for their Silver Jubilee.
The Test: Roman magistrates gave arrested Christians a chance to go free. All they had to do was scatter a pinch of incense on an altar fire to the pagan gods or to the genius of the Emperor. That "single pinch of incense" was the definitive test of the ancient world. It is most famously associated with St. Polycarp, the Bishop of Smyrna, who was martyred around 155–156 AD.
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; born: Uppland, Sweden/died: Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 60 ~ The words of the Son to the bride about the three kinds of Christians that are symbolized by the Jews living in Egypt, and about how the things which have been revealed to the bride should be transmitted, published and preached to ignorant persons by the friends of God. The Son of God spoke to the bride and said: “I am the God of Israel and the one who spoke with Moses. When Moses was sent to my people, he begged for a sign, saying: ‘The people will not believe me otherwise.’ But if the people to whom Moses was sent were the Lord’s people, why did they not believe? You should know that this people consisted of three kinds of men: Some believed in God and Moses. Others believed in God but distrusted Moses, in that they thought that he, perhaps of his own invention and presumption, had presumed to …Ibindi
"Therefore, just as those Hebrews, who neither believed in God nor in Moses, yet went out of Egypt for the promised land when they, as it were, were forced along together with the others, so too, many Christians go out unwillingly together with my chosen men since they do not trust in my power to heal them. They do not believe in my words and they have a false hope in my power."
The contribution of three women - two religious sisters and one laywoman - at the Dicastery for Bishops is "highly valued and important," the Prefect, Archbishop Filippo Iannone, told Glas-Koncila.hr on July 14. As head of the Dicastery for Bishops, Monsignor Iannone oversees the Vatican office responsible for evaluating candidates for bishopric. However, many of these appointments are very controversial and difficult to justify from a Catholic perspective. Appointments are one of the most important ways in which a pope exercises governance and reveals his true priorities. Francis announced in July 2022 that women would become members of the Dicastery for Bishops for the first time in history. He then appointed Sr. Raffaella Petrini, Sr. Yvonne Reungoat and María Lía Zervino. Leo XIV retained the reform by confirming Petrini and Zervino as members and appointing Sr. Simona Brambilla. Reungoat's term ended. All four women are closely associated with the Francis-era deform agenda and its …Ibindi
Only God Can Satisfy Your Heart True contentment comes from godliness and a focus on God, not material possessions. St. Paul emphasizes the importance of pursuing justice, faith, charity, and patience, while Jesus teaches that giving up everything for Him results in gaining everything. The key to fulfillment lies in loving God and allowing Him to fill our hearts, as He is the source of all contentment. Fr.

French Bishops Condemn Euthanasia Law as ‘Serious Turning Point’: The French Bishops' Conference has condemned in words only the country's new law legalizing euthanasia, calling it "a serious turning point" in the nation's history. The bishops warn that the legislation breaks with the long tradition of caring for the sick and risks weakening trust between patients and caregivers. They also caution that the most vulnerable - including the elderly, the disabled, and those facing serious illness - could come under increasing pressure: "The greatness of a society is never found in giving death to the most vulnerable, but in accompanying them with genuine fraternity until the end."

Is this why Our Lord said this to Sister Lucia? If so then I was right all along. Read the very bottom. Our Lord was very concerned for Russia it seems. Why not another country? Because it's Russia who has destroyed, banned and kicked out every evil possible. And still working on more. While the rest of the world embraces evil of every kind. And why Russia will be quick to convert. While the US will be slow and Russia will teach her how. Padre Saint Pio.
Archbishop Wrote That Leo XIV Shares Pro-Homosexual Agenda: The pro-homosexual final report of the Synod's Study Group Number 9 should not surprise anybody, because certain bishops are encouraging the homosex community, Cardinal Burke told Edward Pentin in a recent video interview. These bishops claim that the Church is changing and that the homosexuals should continue in their sinful ways. Cardinal Burke mentioned the letter from an Archbishop who claimed that "Leo XIV shared this view, because he doesn’t talk about sexual morality." For Cardinal Burke it is completely irresponsible to write something like that.
Three scheduled Masses in the Roman rite in August at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, are likely to be cancelled unless the Diocese of Versailles authorizes a priest to celebrate them. Earlier this year, after months of dialogue, the diocese reached an agreement with representatives of the faithful to ensure that the Latin Mass would be celebrated every Sunday and holy day throughout the year. According to Paix Liturgique (15 July), the Diocese of Versailles acknowledged that it might be unable to provide priests for several summer dates and invited the faithful to propose canonically regular priests to fill the gaps. Most of the missing celebrations have since been covered, but the Masses scheduled for 2, 9, and 23 August remain without an approved celebrant. The faithful say that Rev. Jacques-Pascal Bosi, a priest in good standing of the Diocese of Gap-Embrun who is currently serving on mission in Paris, is available to celebrate the remaining Masses. They state that the Diocese of …Ibindi
Today, Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Michael Router, 61, as Bishop of Derry, Ireland. He was ordained a priest in 1989 for the Diocese of Kilmore and has served as Auxiliary Bishop of Armagh since 2019. Francis Was "Commited to Gospel" In April 2025, Bishop Router wrote a warm statement on Francis's death. He described the late pope as a spiritual and inspirational leader who guided the faithful over twelve years with humility, compassion, and commitment to the Gospel. He also said Francis embodied simplicity and service from his earliest days as priest and bishop.
