Wars and rumors of wars... And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: 5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many. 6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: 8 Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 THEN SHALL THEY DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, AND SHALL PUT YOU TO DEATH: and you shall be HATED by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. 12 And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. 13 But he that shall PERSEVERE to the end, he shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached …More
Leo XIV: “A radical reform of the liturgical rites was not in fact necessary in order to make the liturgy more accessible after the Second Vatican Council — a reality that the full, conscious, actual and extraordinarily fruitful participation in the unreformed rites today makes perfectly clear.”
At today’s General Audience, Leo XIV praised the failed liturgical reform after Vatican II. He quoted extensively from a letter by the future Paul VI, Cardinal Montini, dated October 1962. He wrote that the faithful “cannot and must no longer remain silent and passive”. No Participation: Novus Ordo Churches Empty Leo XIV added that “the participation of the faithful cannot be passive”. The Conciliar reform “was intended to allow the liturgy to shine forth”. He believes there was “the need to make the richness of the biblical texts and prayers more accessible to all the faithful”. "Necessary" to Revise Liturgy Furthermore, Leo XIV claims that the liturgy “has always been subject to developments and changes”. “It is therefore not surprising that the Second Vatican Council too, with the utmost respect for the heritage of tradition, and precisely in order to make it more accessible, considered it necessary to revise the liturgical books.” According to Leo XIV, “the liturgical reform promoted …More

Pierre Henri53 minutes ago Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes Starbucks employees expose that Starbucks is using “blending powder” in many of their newer drinks This new powder was just introduced this month. If you drink Starbucks you should be concerned about this. This “blending powder” consists of Gum arabic, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, natural flavor, silica and stevia extract (rebaudioside-A) The reason they use it is because it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer. The gums and other components create a smoother, more consistent frozen blended texture and slows separation that would otherwise happen soon after the drink leaves the blender Starbucks employees have been making videos saying it makes their throats hurt, makes them cough and makes their head hurt. The silica is silicon dioxide and acts as an anti-caking agent. This is a very controversial ingredient for health concerns But it’s also a concern for these Starbucks employees because inhaling it is dangerous. Fine silica …More

"Where Are You Going, USA?": Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s Prophetic Warning & Blueprint "If souls are saved, everything is saved. Unless souls are saved, nothing is saved." Fulton Sheen expert Dr. Peter Howard joins CatholicTV to share the prophetic blueprint Archbishop Fulton Sheen left for renewing the faith in the USA. Why is Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen more relevant today than ever before? Dr. Peter Howard steps into the living room on This Is the Day to discuss Sheen’s road to beatification and preview the national conference, "America’s Saint: The Catholic Hour is Now" in St. Louis, MO. Dr. Howard explains why Sheen was far more than a 1950s television celebrity reaching 30 million viewers weekly with Life is Worth Living—he was a holy soul whose power to convert hearts came directly from his unbroken promise to make a daily Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament every day of his priesthood. As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, Dr. Howard reflects on Sheen's final prophetic …More
" They were but lightly fastened to the stakes, so that when finding themselves unbound they could easily escape and declare themselves apostates, or they might at least serve to amuse the people by remaining voluntarily in the fire. The first one burnt was Brother Louis, who seeing himself loosened from his cords, passed through the flames, cast himself at the feet of the priests, to kiss their hands, and then returned to his stake, where he expired a few moments afterwards."

Never Compromise Truth To Fit In The gospel reading criticizes the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy: they appear righteous on the outside but lack true righteousness. This serves as a reminder to stay true to God’s objective truth, even when it contradicts societal norms or public opinion. We must avoid compromising our beliefs to fit in, as this leads to a loss of truth and a disordered life. Fr.

Rev. Michael Pfleger, 77, was reinstated effective August 24 after the Archdiocese of Chicago's Independent Review Board completed its investigation. He is known nationally for his progressive activism. Cardinal Blase Cupich, 77, said the board, assisted by the Office of Child Protection and outside investigators, concluded there was “no reason to believe” Pfleger was guilty of the allegation. Cupich accepted the recommendation and returned him to ministry at St. Sabina. According to the Chicago Sun-Times reporting, a woman alleged that Pfleger sexually abused her when she was a girl attending St. Sabina's school sometime between 1993 and 1995. The allegation surfaced this July, and Pfleger was removed from ministry on July 11 while it was investigated. Rev. Pfleger denied it emphatically from the outset, calling it an “absolute lie.” Under archdiocesan policy, the allegation was reported to police, and the accuser was offered assistance through the church's Victim Assistance Ministry. …More
"The first, and the worst, are those Christians who have died in mortal sin, without repentance and without regret; for these have despised the death of Christ and His sacraments, or received them unworthily and in vain. And they have not practised works of mercy, showing charity toward their neighbours, as God has commanded. And for this they are doomed to the depths of hell."

The first, and the worst, are those Christians who have died in mortal sin, without repentance and without regret; for these have despised the death of Christ and His sacraments, or received them unworthily and in vain. And they have not practised works of mercy, showing charity toward their neighbours, as God has commanded. And for this they are doomed to the depths of hell. The second kind are unbelievers, Pagans and Jews. These must all appear before Christ, though they were damned already during their lives; for, in their time, they had neither Divine grace nor Divine love, and for this reason they have always dwelt in the eternal death of damnation. But these will have less pain than the evil …More
Vatican diplomat calls for end to Ukraine war during Moscow visit: Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Holy See’s Secretary for Relations with States, met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday. “Let us be clear, this war must end,” Gallagher said after the talks. He warned that every additional day of fighting creates new victims and makes future reconciliation more difficult. Gallagher said the talks also covered possible paths toward peace and humanitarian issues. It is Gallagher’s first visit to Moscow since 2021.
