‘Purgatory’ by J. Sadlier; 1886; Chapter I – ‘CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PURGATORY.…’; pages 48-49; part I [Saint Catherine of Genoa – XV-XVI Century AD; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; Aged 62-63; mystic, known for her work among the sick and the poor] CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PURGATORY. The Catholic Church teaches that, besides a place of eternal torments lor the wicked and of everlasting rest for the righteous, there exists in the next life a middle state of temporary punishment, allotted for those who have died in venial sin, or who have not satisfied the justice of God for sins already forgiven. She also teaches us that, although the souls consigned to this intermediate state, commonly called Purgatory, cannot help themselves, they may be aided by the suffrages of the faithful on earth. The existence of Purgatory naturally implies the correlative dogma—the utility of praying for the dead ; for the souls consigned to this middle state have not reached the term of …Gehiago
"Is it not strange that this cherished doctrine should be called in question by the levelling innovators of the sixteenth century, when we consider that it is clearly taught in the Old Testament ; that it is, at least, insinuated in the New Testament ; that it is unanimously proclaimed by the Fathers of the Church ; that it is embodied in all the ancient liturgies of the Oriental and Western Church; and that it is alike consonant with our reason and eminently consoling to the human heart ?"
WATCH: Priest Has Mystical Experience During Live-Streamed Mass During a September 14 Mass at Saint Gabriel's Church in Hopkins, Minnesota, chaplain Father Bauman experienced something extraordinary during the consecration. Early rumors suggested he physically saw the wine transform into blood or felt the chalice grow heavier. Official clarification from Father Paul Haverstock offers a more interior interpretation: Father Brant received an intense "experiential knowledge" of Christ's sacrifice, experiencing the profound spiritual "weight" of Christ's blood. Video footage captures Father Brant visibly weeping during the consecration, emotional proof of an intense spiritual moment. The event highlights the tension between seeking extraordinary physical signs and recognizing deep mystical graces. The true essence of any Eucharistic miracle lies in the core Catholic belief of the Real Presence, that Christ is genuinely present in the Blessed Sacrament.
Leo XIV. continues Abu Dhabi Document: False religions become “expressions of God’s will”. On September 16, three Vatican Dicasteries - Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, and Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue - published the document The Path of Hope: A Note on the 60th Anniversary of Nostra Aetate. Leo XIV. approved the text on June 22. Religions may become expressions of God's will §58 contains perhaps the document’s most troubling claim: The contradicting “religions are called to transform the world and society so that they may become fraternal expressions of God’s will”. Vatican II “Changed” Church’s understanding The document admits in §1 that Vatican II’ declaration Nostra Aetate “marked a profound change in the Church’s understanding and expression of her relationship with followers of other religions”. “Sacred” texts of the false religions §32 claims that there is a universal criterion of discernment that can be found in the “…Gehiago

Putin recently noted that Western states are now openly talking about preparing for war with Russia, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stressed that Moscow has "NO REASON" TO ATTACK EUROPE UNLESS IT IS ATTACKED FIRST! Other Russian officials have also condemned the Polish minister’s rhetoric. Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko said Sikorski’s calls for NATO to conduct more aggressive exercises near Russia’s Kaliningrad Region should be assessed by “people in white coats,” while Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described his comments as “Russophobia of the brain.”
Migrants Fear Discrimination After Far Right Surge in German State nytimes.com/…6/world/europe/migrants-germany-far-… Alternative for Germany, an anti-immigrant party widely known as the AfD, could take power in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, spurring panic among its immigrant population. By Ashley Southall and Tatiana Firsova Reporting from Magdeburg, Germany Sept. 16, 2026, 5:06 a.m. ET After polls closed in a German state election this month, dozens of local pro-migrant activists gathered anxiously for dinner to see how big a win the anti-immigrant far right would secure. When exit polls flashed onscreen showing a wide lead for the Alternative for Germany, an anti-immigrant party, the activists fell quiet, several said in interviews. When the party’s landslide victory was confirmed, guests left early, some in tears. “After the result, no one felt like eating anymore,” said Amidou Traore, 57, a social worker originally from Ivory Coast who attended the gathering and described experiencing …Gehiago
NATO-backed Kosovo separatist ‘responsible for war crimes’ Hasam Thaci ha been found guilty of the murder of 96 political opponents and suspected Serbian collaborators Published 16 Sep, 2026 10:42 | Updated 16 Sep, 2026 11:57 The former leader of the NATO-backed Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) has been found responsible for war crimes committed by the militant group during its NATO-backed campaign to break away from Serbia in the 1990s. Hasam Thaci, who served as the first president of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, has been found guilty of the murder of 96 political opponents and suspected Serbian collaborators, the verdict said. He was also convicted for the unlawful detention and torture of hundreds of people. The 58-year-old Thaci and three other former KLA leaders tried in The Hague are widely regarded as heroes in Kosovo. Thaci’s defense argued that senior figures in the KLA could not control rank-and-file separatist fighters and thus could not be held responsible for crimes …Gehiago
Hopkins, Minnesota. Fr. Brent receives wisdom from our Lord while in transubstanciation, in which Jesus let Fr. Brent know how much blood He pours for the salvation of souls, the weight of so much of His Divine Blood is tremendous, Fr. Brent had trouble lifting the coup. The title of this video is misleading, despite there was no physical change from bread or wine into flesh and blood, IT was a miracle, as it is His Flesh and Blood, such miracle happens EVERY DAY AT EVERY MASS, yet people don’t believe. Please pray for Fr. Brent to really be holy. Thanks, God bless.
Lord Bebo & Friends UK’s 26th royal army regiment marching is hilarious. Watch the arm and leg positions, and don’t laugh. Would look better if they just came in like a normal group of people without marching, this is just embarrassing. Me and the boys probably can do it better after practicing for 30 minutes and a six pack. LMAO … it’s so bad. (Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) on X Join us (Join group chat on Telegram | @MyLordBebo

Yes, she murdered her children. It's the why she murdered them that has many women opening their hearts to her. I'm a mother of a large family. I am fiercely pro-life. And yes, I feel for her. By all accounts she was a good mother who loved her children very much. What makes such a mother kill her own? What makes such a mother attempt to kill herself? Something incredibly abnormal occurred. I remember during one of my pregnancies, I was absolutely convinced there were giant spiders crawling all over the ceiling. I saw them. And I was terrified. Thankfully I had a cousin staying with me who helped dispel my fears and calm me down. And I was not on any medication. I was simply delirious from morning sickness and dehydration. Can you imagine if the doctors had of put me on a cocktail of drugs at that point? Regardless of the outcome, Mrs. Clancy is going to be locked away for life. She is going to be punished for what she did. But, in union with many other women supporting her case, it …Gehiago
MOTHER OF SALVATION “Cling to the Truth at all times, for without it, you will be living a lie” Sunday, September 28th, 2014 @ 18:15 My dearly beloved daughter, the Word of God, as laid down by Him, and the Word dictated to My Holy Apostles, was the foundation upon which My Mystical Body, the Church, was built. The Eternal Word is the foundation upon which the Church sits. It is not the other way around. The Word of God is Eternal – it is cast in stone. It is the foundation of the Truth. The foundation of My Church cannot be shaken but the edifice, which sits upon it, may be changed and amended. However, if the building changes, then the foundation may not sustain it if it deviates from the building structure for which it was designed. The Word of God may never be amended because it can never change. For how could it? God did not say one thing only to mean something else. The Church must be subservient to the Word of God. The Word of God is not subservient to those members of My Church …Gehiago

Leo XIV has appointed the much-criticized Monsignor Michele Di Tolve as the new Bishop of Chioggia (50 priests, 100'000 Catholics) Italy (September 16). Until now, he was auxiliary bishop of Rome and rector of the Pontifical Roman Major Seminary. Born in Milan in 1963 and ordained a priest in 1989, Di Tolve spent much of his ministry in priestly formation. Seminarian numbers fell sharply during his rectorship in Milan. “He Destroyed the Seminary” In 2023, a priest of the Milan Archdiocesan Curia told SilereNonPossum.com that Di Tolve “destroyed this seminary.” This article portrays Di Tolve as an extremely controlling and short-tempered rector. He had video surveillance cameras installed throughout the seminary, reportedly to monitor seminarians’ movements, including where they went and with whom. In preparation for diaconal and priestly ordination, Di Tolve had seminarians sign a document declaring that they were not homosexual, to absolve himself of responsibility. At the same time, …Gehiago
I'm curious. Regardless of outcome, Lindsay Clancy will be locked away. And she will have to live with the brutal and heart searing fact that she ruined her own life and that of her family who, by all accounts, she loved and cared for very much. Moreover she killed her children, not for a lover, or financial gain, or freedom to live a single life, but because she was on a lethal cocktail of medication on top of exhaustion and chronic depression. Why then, is this "lone holdout" a legend?
