During a pastoral visit to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus near Rome’s Termini station on February 22, Leo XIV shared a detail from his youth, reports Vatican News.va. He had briefly considered entering the Salesian order founded by St. John Bosco. “Before I entered the Augustinians, as a young man I also visited the Salesian community,” he said with a smile. “You came in second place — I’m sorry!” His remark drew laughter from the Salesians who run the parish. Leo XIV added that since his election, he has visited more Salesian communities than Augustinian ones, joking that perhaps “something of you has remained in my heart.” Speaking after the Eucharist, Leo XIV expressed appreciation for the Salesians’ work with young people, especially immigrants. Leo XIV served as Prior General of the Augustinian Order from 2001 to 2013. Picture: Vatican Media, #newsMuljhvgbzr
Mon Feb 23, 2026 - 2:29 pm ESTTue Feb 24, 2026 - 6:31 am EST CHICAGO (LifeSiteNews) — A man saved an eight-month-old baby girl from drowning in Lake Michigan after he jumped into its icy waters. Lio Cundiff, 30, was taking a walk along Belmont Harbor in Chicago while wishing a happy belated birthday to his aunt on the phone when he heard a woman scream and saw a stroller with a baby inside swept into Lake Michigan by a strong gust of wind. “I wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Cundiff, who reportedly does not swim, told Fox10 from a nearby hospital, where his heart was being monitored after the rescue. “I immediately dropped my phone, threw my jacket off,” Cundiff told Block Club Chicago. “I realized the woman was in too much shock to do anything, which is more than understandable. So I thought, ‘I guess I’m going in.’” Cundiff jumped into the water and grabbed ahold of the stroller, with the baby still strapped in. “I just held the stroller up,” Cundiff said. “I was thinking …
Wonderful story. What a great world this would be if we all helped each other like Cundiff did to save that baby’s life. God bless everyone who helped!
FEBRUARY 25 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,29-32. While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, "This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here."

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 is what is at stake). 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.
The Apostolic Line of St Peter can not be proven. HOWEVER Both SSPX and the Vatican do have their Apostolic Line of Saint Andrew via the UGCC You do not loose the Apostolic Line of Succession if Excommunicated or in Schism
In the Saint Andrew Line - Patriarch Bartholomew is considered " First among Equals" of all the Patriarchs. The Oriental Orthodox have St Mark and St Matthew
The best U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier, Gerald Ford, was flooded with sewage. On the 2017 vessel worth $13 billion, the plumbing got clogged. Toilets are overflowing, and crew members have to wait up to 45 minutes in line. An emergency dock in Greece had to be requested for repairs. The aircraft carrier didn’t even make it to the shores of the Middle East, targeting Iran. This isn’t the first toilet-related accident on the Gerald Ford; the ship is faulty. Of the 650 toilets on board, at least one breaks every day. Лучший авианосец США тонет в дерьме! 13 млрд на корыто! НАТО против Ирана с забитыми унитазами?

SciTech Era @SciTechera Ageing could soon be reversible, says Harvard scientist Scientists have reversed biological aging markers by up to 75% in specific animal tissues within weeks.. At the 2026 in Dubai summit, Dr. David Sinclair said scientists are preparing human clinical trials to reverse aspects of ageing. The goal is to treat ageing itself, the main risk factor behind diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease and diabetes. The approach uses epigenetic reprogramming to restore cells to a younger state. As people age, cells lose epigenetic information that controls how genes function. Resetting this information may allow old cells to behave like young ones again without altering DNA. Using modified Yamanaka genes (reprogramming factors), Sinclair’s team has already reversed ageing in animal tissues by up to 75% within weeks through partial cellular reprogramming. Human trials aim to test whether similar effects can be achieved safely in people. Sinclair predicted that within the …بیشتر
Given that alzheimers is a disease induced by poisoning and nutrition deficiency of course it is reversible by removing the poisons and improving nutrition. As regards the other claims, well it's always soon! soon!
Rev Jaime Mercant Simó, a Spanish diocesan priest and professor at the Center for Theological Studies of Mallorca Diocesan priest from Spain, wrote on X.com on February 22 about the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X. His thoughts. Several of my readers have asked me about the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of St. Pius X. Here is my position, presented in a pedagogical format of questions and answers: 1. Will the Lefebvrists commit a mortal sin with these episcopal consecrations? — No, not at all. 2. Is it not a schismatic act? — No, formally it is not. 3. Why is it formally not a schism? — Because, for a “perfect schism” to occur, there must be a clear intention to perform a schismatic act and to establish, with the new bishops, a hierarchical jurisdiction parallel to the one existing in the Roman Catholic Church. In this case, neither of these two things will occur. 4. Could it at least be an act of disobedience? — Yes, indeed it is, at least materially, since Rome …بیشتر
The excommunication is unjust. The doubtful pope is in grave error for denying the supply of Bishops to faithful of the SSPX after they legally requested them.
At least there is one courageous and wise priest who defends the truth. When they change the formula of consecration in Rome, rendering it invalid, the SSPX will remain faithful to it; their Masses will be valid, the others will not.
“Chapter III ~ Of Humility Now understand this: we find in Christ, according to His Godhead, two kinds of humility. The first kind is this: that He willed to become man, and took on Himself that very nature which had been banished and cursed to the bottom of hell, and willed to become one with it according to His personality; so that now any man, either good or evil, can say: Christ, the Son of God, is my brother. The second kind of humility according to His Godhead consists in this; that He chose a poor maiden, not a king's daughter, for His mother, so that a poor maiden should be the mother of God, who is Lord of heaven and earth and all creatures. And further, we can say of all the works of humility which Christ ever did, that they were done by God Himself."

Bishop Athanasius Schneider published on Diane Montagna’s Substack.com-Account a “Fraternal Appeal” to Pope Leo XIV about the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X (FSSPX). He urges Leo XIV in this “truly Providential moment” to grant the apostolic mandate for the episcopal consecrations. The backbone of the appeal. - In this debate, new quasi-dogmas are being established that do not exist in the Depositum fidei. - These quasi-dogmas maintain that the Pope’s consent to a bishop’s consecration is of divine right, and that a consecration carried out without this consent, or even against a papal prohibition, constitutes in itself a schismatic act. - Centuries of ecclesial practice, as well as traditional canon law, stand in opposition to such absolutizing assertions. Canonical Argument - In the first millennium of the Church’s life, episcopal consecrations were generally performed without formal papal permission, and candidates were not required to be approved by the Pope. - According to …بیشتر
Strategically, cutting off the SSPX (excommunication or otherwise) has only downsides for the foundering Synodal Church. As the ond saying goes, "never force someone to choose if you can't live with one of the options." Drawing a strict boundary between the SSPX and the Synodal Church forces a choice and, in a number of countries, the Synodal Church is not well thought of enough to be the winner. "Deeply regretting" and continuing to dialogue as an act of mercy is the optimal stance.

Commentary | Global Ivermectin Research Hub @Ivermectinkart World-renowned cancer biologist Thomas Seyfried, PhD, reveals "we have a mechanism now why parasite medications are working". Professor Thomas Seyfried: "Mebendazole, Fenbendazole [I] did a dive on it and I said, why [do] Parasite medications work against cancer cells, and it turns out that the parasites use mitochondrial substrate level phosphorylation in the tissue .. and mebendazol fenbendazol kill these parasites. So I tried it on the cancer cell and sure as hell, it targets the mitochondrial substrate and glycolysis" Parasites rely on the EXACT same dysfunctional energy pathway cancer cells do and these drugs don’t care that cancer isn’t a parasite. "So we have a mechanism now why parasite medications are working, but cancer is not a parasite" Thomas Seyfried mentions avoiding researching Ivermectin because of political pressure during covid, but Dr. Isabella Cooper, PhD in Ketogenic Science and Hyperinsulinemia points …بیشتر
