A man who had his store looted confronts the Mayor of Lyon when shows up on the streets this morning for a PR photo op meant to portray him as concerned and proactive: “Look at all the damage you’ve caused. You must resign! You’re a disgrace to France”

We want our words to be applauded, our decisions to be praised, and our beliefs to be welcomed without opposition. We fear being misunderstood, rejected, or ridiculed. And sometimes, in our desire to avoid disapproval, we begin surrendering little pieces of the truth we once professed without hesitation. The danger does not always begin with a dramatic rejection of the Faith. It may begin with silence when we should speak honestly, compromise when we should remain firm, or the deliberate concealment of our convictions because we fear what others might think. We tell ourselves that we are merely avoiding conflict. But if the desire for acceptance repeatedly causes us to betray what we know to be right, we must ask ourselves a serious question: Whose …More
Bishops have been promoting the Islamization of Europe for decades under the pretext of charity, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (German video below). He accused these bishops of “cowardice” for failing to profess their Christian and Catholic identity. According to Schneider, European political elites are deliberately organizing Muslim immigration: “These are generally not refugees, but deliberately orchestrated and organized measures by European political elites to bring a Muslim population into Europe.” Schneider described Islam as “totalitarian” and “anti-Christian.” Building large mosques amounts to propaganda for a religion that is not willed by God. Bishop Schneider also condemned interreligious dialogue, as exemplified by the 2019 Abu Dhabi Document, as “a betrayal of the mission of the Gospel, which God Himself, Jesus Christ, entrusted to us.” Schneider criticized the practice of placing all religions on an equal footing, even visually, as though one could “choose a …More
‘Pope Innocent III. …’ – ‘Purgatory’ by Rev. Shouppe; 1929; Chapter XXIII; p. 72-74, part II Chapter XXIII ~ Duration of Purgatory — The Cistercian Abbot and Pope Innocent III. — -John de Lierre. Aside from this, considering the event in itself, can we find any good reason for calling it into question ? Do we not know that God makes no exception of persons — that the Popes appear before His tribunal like the humblest of the faithful — that all the great and the lowly are equal before Him, and that each one receives according to his works? Do we not know that those who govern others have a great responsibility, and will have to render a severe account? Judicium durissimum his qui prcesunt fiet — "A most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule."1 It is the Holy Ghost that declares it. Now, Innocent III. reigned for eighteen years, and during most turbulent times ; and, add the Bollandists, is it not written that the judgments of God are inscrutable, and often very different from …More
"Pope Innocent III. died July 16, 1216. The same day he appeared to St. Lutgarda in her monastery at Aywieres, in Brabant. Surprised to see a spectre enveloped in flames, she asked who he was and what he wanted. "I am Pope Innocent," he replied. "Is it possible that you, our common Father, should be in such a state ? " " It is but too true. I am expiating three faults which might have caused my eternal perdition. Thanks to the Blessed Virgin Mary, I have obtained pardon for them, but I have to make atonement. Alas! it is terrible; and it will last for centuries if you do not come to my assistance. In the name of Mary, who has obtained for me the favour of appealing to you, help me." With these words he disappeared."
Vatican News has chosen to publish this glowing tribute to Cardinal Joseph Bernardin under the headline “An example for the Church and the world.” The Illinois Attorney General's devastating 2023 investigation documented that Bernardin was informed in 1989 that Fr Vincent McCaffrey was a paedophile, yet McCaffrey remained in ministry. It also recorded how Bernardin allowed Fr Robert Mayer to continue in parish ministry despite serious allegations and restrictions on his contact with minors.
Claretian Missionaries Leave Zamora and León. After 125 years of educational and evangelizing work, the Claretian Missionaries are leaving Zamora. Farewell events are scheduled for October 23 and 24, including a thanksgiving Mass at Zamora Cathedral. The congregation is also leaving León after 57 years, closing its residential care facility. Religious life, both male and female, is disappearing from Spain at an alarming pace. Vocations are virtually nonexistent, while deaths, departures, and community closures have become everyday realities.

‘Duration of Purgatory …’ – ‘Purgatory’ by Rev. Shouppe; 1929; Chapter XXIII; p. 71-72, part I Chapter XXIII ~ Duration of Purgatory — The Cistercian Abbot and Pope Innocent III. — -John de Lierre. In the Life of St. Lutgarda, written by her contemporary, Thomas de Cantempre mention is made of a Religious who was otherwise fervent, but who for an excess of zeal was condemned to forty years of Purgatory. This was an Abbot of the Cistercian Order, named Simon, who held St. Lutgarda in great veneration. The saint, on her part, willingly followed his advice, and in consequence a sort of spiritual friendship was formed between them. But the Abbot was not as mild towards his subordinates as he was towards the saint. Severe with himself, he was also severe in his administration, and carried his exactions in matters of discipline even to harshness, forgetting the lesson of the Divine Master, who teaches us to be meek and humble of heart. Having died, and whilst St. Lutgarda was fervently praying …More
"Since I am mentioning St. Lutgarda, ought I to speak of the celebrated apparition of Pope Innocent III. I acknowledge the perusal of this incident shocked me, and I would fain pass it over in silence. I was reluctant to think that a Pope, and such a Pope, had been condemned to so long and terrible a Purgatory. We know that Innocent III., who presided at the celebrated Council of Lateran in 1215, was one of the greatest Pontiffs who ever filled the chair of St. Peter. His piety and zeal led him to accomplish great things for the Church of God and holy discipline. How, then, admit that such a man was judged with so great severity at the Supreme Tribunal? How reconcile this revelation of St. Lutgarda with Divine Mercy ?"

Meanwhile in Russia. Funny thing someone said that Russia looks just like North Korea. Anyone see that in those pictures? People dancing at sunset in Gorgy Park. People lounging near the river. People strolling. And a peaceful walk and flowers everywhere in Russia.
Dropping MOAB on Iran would invite all-out retaliation across the Gulf – academic Iran’s retaliation to the US dropping the "Mother of all bombs" (MOAB) on it would be aimed at any US-linked targets in the region, Prof. Mohammad Marandi, former adviser to the Iranian nuclear negotiations team, said on Judge Napolitano’s podcast. “It goes beyond just oil and gas infrastructure, it means everything that is somehow linked to the United States, whether it’s data centers or banks or anything that is of any value,” he elaborated. Marandi also pointed out that the US previously dropped a MOAB on Afghanistan, but it did not help them win the war there. geopolitics_prime
"Meddle thee not with other men's goods, neither busy thee in great men s causes: have always an eye to thyself and diligently inform and admonish thyself before all others. If thou have not the favour of worldly-living people, sorrow not therefor: but let this be thy daily sorrow, that thou behavest not thyself in thy conversation, as it beseemeth a good religious person to do."
‘OF COMPUNCTION OF THE HEART...…’ ~ ‘The Imitation of Christ’ ~ Thomas A Kempis; 1872; Book I; Chapters 21; pages 36-37; part II [Thomas a Kempis – XIV-XV Century AD; Kempen, Holy Roman Empire/Zwolle, Holy Roman Empire; aged 90-91; Canon, Regular] 21. OF COMPUNCTION OF THE HEART. Meddle thee not with other men s goods, neither busy thee in great men s causes: have always an eye to thyself and diligently inform and admonish thyself before all others. If thou have not the favour of worldly-living people, sorrow not therefor: but let this be thy daily sorrow, that thou behavest not thyself in thy conversation, as it beseemeth a good religious person to do. It is more expedient and more profitable that a man sometimes lack consolations in this life, than that he have them always after his own will, namely, fleshly consolations. Nevertheless, that we have not sometimes heavenly consolations, or that we so seldom feel them as we do, is through our own default : for we seek not to have true …More
The Quiet Revolution Undermining Catholic Tradition | A Bishop Speaks remnantnewspaper | By: Bishop Rob Mutsaerts The Church's most dangerous revolution is the one that never admits it is happening. Bishop Rob Mutsaerts exposes how pastoral ambiguity, progressive reforms, and local experiments erode Catholic teaching while claiming to leave doctrine untouched. The Deceptive Tactics of the Quiet Revolution Over the course of two thousand years, the Catholic Church has endured just about everything that can happen to an institution: bad popes, corrupt bishops, heresies, schisms, revolutions, persecutions, decadent monasteries, dissolute clergy, and theologians so determined to be original that, in the end, they were the only ones who still understood what they meant. And yet the Church is still here. Not because Catholics have always been sensible. That would be a rather daring historical hypothesis. The Church survived because, time and again, one remarkable phenomenon occurred: once the …More
The Vatican is controlled by heretics. Heretic Pope Leo XIV approved 'A Path To Hope'. It goes against Catholic dogma. It walks lock-step with Noahide laws that the globalists want to push on non-Jews. TL;DR: Pope Leo/Prevost, like Pope Francis/Bergoglio, wants to empty Catholic churches to appease the globalists.
Seat of Wisdom has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
