For decades, legend claimed that the pilot who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima became a Carthusian monk at Serra San Bruno in Calabria.
The truth was different. Father Tony Lehmann, a former U.S. soldier, visited Hiroshima after the war and, deeply affected by its devastation, chose to become a “man of peace.” He later joined the Carthusians, living at Serra San Bruno, before becoming a Jesuit devoted to pastoral service.
He was no “penitent pilot,” but a witness to Hiroshima who chose peace, prayer and service. Father Tony died of leukemia on March 8, 2002, aged 73.

Da Hiroshima alla Certosa

La Certosa di Serra San Bruno, luogo di solitudine e di preghiera, è stata per molti anni associata a una delle leggende più persistenti del Novecento italiano: quella del presunto “pilota pentito di Hiroshima”, che dopo aver sganciato la bomba atomica si sarebbe ritirato in clausura tra i boschi della Calabria. Una storia suggestiva, capace di intrecciare colpa e redenzione, orrore e silenzio, ma che nel tempo si è rivelata essere una leggenda nata da un fondo di verità profondamente diverso e, per certi versi, ancor più eloquente. Tutto ebbe origine all’inizio degli anni Sessanta, quando lo scrittore calabrese Sharo Gambino ipotizzò che un militare americano coinvolto nel bombardamento di Hiroshima si fosse rifugiato nella Certosa; la voce fu amplificata nel luglio 1962 da un servizio del telegiornale Rai diretto da Enzo Biagi, suscitando un’ondata di curiosità, pellegrinaggi impropri e visite giornalistiche. Il riferimento sembrò condurre addirittura a Paul Tibbets, il pilota dell’…

Two seriously ill men shared a hospital room.
One bed was beside the window. The other was near the door.
One day, the man by the door asked, “What can you see outside?”
The man by the window brightened.
“Oh, all kinds of things. There’s a beautiful sky, clouds shaped like animals, a lake, and a line of trees in the distance.”
From then on, every day, the man by the window described what was happening outside.
He talked about a small boat crossing the lake, fishermen returning with a huge catch, children playing near the water, and young couples walking hand in hand as though no one else in the world existed.
The man by the door listened.
But instead of feeling grateful for the stories, he slowly became bitter.
It isn’t fair, he thought. Why does he get the bed by the window while all I can see is a door with peeling paint? Why does he get to watch life outside while I’m stuck looking at this room?
One night, the man by the window began coughing violently.
He struggled to breathe and …More

The Impeded Papacy
The Katechon, the Obstacle to the Legitimate Holder, and the Eclipse of the Petrine Function
Introduction — A question more precise than that of the “pope in contradiction with the Papacy”
The present crisis compels us to ask a question that goes beyond the simple alternative between “a legitimate but bad pope” and “an empty see.”
The problem can be formulated as follows:
What if the Papacy, as a perpetual divine institution, remained intact, while its legitimate occupation were prevented by a power that had seized the visible structures of the Church and presented itself to the world as the Church itself? An ecclesiological hypothesis
This hypothesis makes it possible to understand the contemporary paradox differently.
On the one hand, Catholicism teaches that the Church is a visible, hierarchical society, founded by Our Lord and visibly governed by a head who holds the place of Peter. Pius XII recalled in 1943 that Christ willed a visible Church and that, after His …More

German Church Cancels November Synodal Conference as Vatican Delays Approval: The first “Synodal Conference” of the Church in Germany, scheduled to take place in Stuttgart on November 6–7, has been postponed, Domradio reported on August 28. The main reason is that the statutes are still awaiting the necessary recognition from the Vatican. Hotel rooms that had been reserved for the November meeting have been cancelled. The president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Heiner Wilmer of Hildesheim, had already said in May that, given the ongoing review by several Vatican dicasteries, he no longer expected the Synodal Conference to begin in November.

Stirbt der Synodale Weg einen stillen Tod?

Vor acht Jahren wurde die Kirche in Deutschland von Grund auf erschüttert. Die sogenannte MHG-Studie, die im Herbst 2018 veröffentlicht wurde, hat auf einen Schlag das massenhafte Problem sexualisierter Gewalt in der Kirche in die Öffentlichkeit gebracht. Sofort war der Wunsch da: Es muss sich etwas ändern. Die Deutsche Bischofskonferenz und das Zentralkomitee der deutschen Katholiken beschlossen damals einen gemeinsamen Schritt, der bis heute hohe Wellen schlägt – nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch im Vatikan. Auf dem “Synodalen Weg” sollte der Grundstein für ein neues Miteinander in der Kirche gelegt werden. Bischöfe und Laien sollten in Zukunft gemeinsam über ihre Kirche entscheiden. Dann kamen Corona, Einsprüche aus Rom sowie interne Streitigkeiten, die den Prozess immer weiter in die Länge zogen. Im November 2025 dann der letzte große Schritt: Die Satzung der sogenannten “Synodalkonferenz” wurde final verabschiedet und in Folge von DBK und ZdK zugestimmt. Ende März wurde sie …

On August 29, Pope Leo XIV became the first Pope to take part by boat in the procession for the Feast of Our Lady of the Lake in Castel Gandolfo. After celebrating the Eucharist at the Church of Maria Santissima del Lago, Leo XIV boarded the Falco together with the statue of Our Lady of the Lake and crossed Lake Albano in a 25-minute procession, accompanied by canoes and other boats. The tradition dates back to 1954 and was established to bring together the local community and those who lived and worked around the lake.

Leone XIV è stato il primo Papa a partecipare in barca alla processione della Madonna del Lago

Nell’omelia a Castel Gandolfo ha parlato dell’amore cristiano davanti alla violenza e alle ingiustizie, dicendo che «l’odio e la violenza non portano nulla di buono» e richiamando il bisogno di pace tra le persone e tra le nazioni. CASTEL GANDOLFO - Paolo VI aveva voluto quella chiesa e l’aveva consacrata. Giovanni Paolo II vi era tornato pochi anni dopo. Nessuno dei due, però, aveva percorso sull’acqua la processione della Madonna del Lago. Lo ha fatto per la prima volta Leone XIV questa sera, partecipando alla festa mariana celebrata sulla riva del Lago Albano, a Castel Gandolfo. Il Papa ha lasciato nel pomeriggio il Vaticano in automobile e ha raggiunto la piccola chiesa di Maria Santissima del Lago, che appartiene alla parrocchia pontificia di San Tommaso da Villanova. Alle 18 ha presieduto la Santa Messa e, terminata la celebrazione, si è unito alla processione con il simulacro della Madonna. La statua è stata quindi imbarcata insieme al Pontefice sul battello “Falco”, che ha …

Discontent of Right and Center

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
– Folha de S. Paulo, July 21, 1978 –
In a previous article, I promised to inform readers about multiple attacks in the US against widespread leftism.
Today I fulfilled that promise. From the outset, I note that I will deal here with an offensive not only from the right but also from the center (and, if we take into account the preponderant importance of the means that the latter has launched into the struggle, even less from the right than from the center) against what would be a “new look” of leftism.
In fact, “leftism” here is not merely a set of socioeconomic reforms aimed at establishing complete equality among men in the short or medium term. It is also everything that corrodes, corrupts, or dissolves Christian morality, the foundation of Western civilization.
The omnipresent permissiveness of our days can and should be considered a genuine expression of the leftist mentality and doctrine, for it is as characteristic of communist regimes as state and …More

Scathing DOJ report denounces Biden FBI memo targeting traditional Catholics - LifeSite

Sat Aug 29, 2026 - 1:37 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has released a report on the targeting and investigation of traditional Catholics as a national security threat under the Biden administration. The 230-page document charts how it came to be that a single agent working in the FBI’s Richmond Field Office concocted a memo which cast suspicion on many Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) Catholics as radical extremists, with the seeming intent of weaponizing U.S. law enforcement against them. “On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14147 to eliminate the political weaponization of federal agencies,” notes a statement from the DOJ. “To many Americans, the Richmond Domain Perspective came to embody the misuse and weaponization of government power.” The FBI memo focused on what it called “Radical Traditionalist Catholics” (RTCs) to identify its chosen target group.

Instaurare Omnia in Christo

How odd it is that there is a man telling us we should work as he is golfing. And no one gets it? No less on Christmas day! Yet the cheap excuses still flow to protect their idol.

Instaurare Omnia in Christo

How pathetic people still look for cheap excuses to protect that man. Golfing on Christmas is now ok? Even some protestants won't dare to golf on Christmas. And he calls himself a protestant? And worse a Christian!
Never heard of it. Never seen it. Confession! Mass! Celebrating The Birth of Christ and the reason he became man. And also this day is for His Holy Mother as well. Mary remaining a Virgin after the birth of Her Holy and Divine Son. But I guess most Catholics on gtv belong to the protestant no mess church. So I will say, Father forgive them. For they know not what they do.
Or do they?
