"I'm a Catholic, and Catholics do not embrace Zionism, just so you know. So are all Catholics anti-Semites according to you?" Incredible exchange today between Carrie Prejean Boller and a group of Jewish Zionists at the White House's Religious Liberty Commission. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had to step in and interrupt her for daring to take the hearing seriously and using it as an opportunity to push back against the incredibly broad, anti-free speech IHRA definition of "anti-Semitism."
Eccellent on Flavius Josephus: The upshot of his analysis is that we may have to rethink a key line. In the traditional Testimonium Flavianum, the statement “He was the Christ” is the giveaway, so it was thought, that this couldn’t have been written by a non-Christian Jew like Josephus. The expression “a (mere) wise man” earlier in the paragraph fits Josephus’s likely view, but a declaration of messianic identity is out of place. But Schmidt notes that Latin and Syriac manuscripts of this passage don’t have the clear affirmation “He was the Christ” but instead the more doubtful “He was believed to be [Latin] / thought to be [Syriac] the Christ.” Given the early date of these renditions—AD 300s—and the unlikelihood that any Latin or Syriac Christian copyist would demote Jesus, it seems reasonable to conclude this was what Josephus wrote. In the Greek copying tradition, a single verb (legomenos, “called,” perhaps) appears to have dropped out, either by accident or intent.
When confusion over Christ’s identity spread, St. Cyril stood firm, defending the truth that Mary is the Mother of God (Theotokos) and that Jesus is both fully God and fully man.
Long before Dachau or the gulag, revolutionary France created a system designed to make Catholic priests die “without noise.” Near Île-Madame, 829 priests were starved and tortured on prison ships—then erased from history. This is the forgotten story of their martyrdom, faith, and astonishing forgiveness

However, now a days, maybe He would! Smartphones are pokemon's! The Japanese title for Pokémon is two English words given Japanese pronunciation, Poketto Monstaa (“pocket monsters”)
He trusted science. He believed reason was enough. He thought faith was a weakness. And the Church now calls him Servant of God Takashi Nagai. Takashi Nagai was a brilliant Japanese physician and radiologist. Raised in Shinto and influenced by materialism, he searched for truth in microscopes and textbooks. God, to him, was an idea—interesting, but unnecessary. Then suffering entered his life. While studying medicine, Nagai was exposed to radiation. His health began to fail. Around the same time, he encountered the quiet witness of Japanese Christians—people who had endured centuries of persecution and still sang hymns with peace. Curiosity turned into questions. Reading the Bible late at night, caring for the sick by day, Nagai slowly realized something science could not explain: love that endured pain without bitterness. He was baptized Catholic. He married Midori Moriyama, a devout Catholic, and together they lived a life of deep faith. Then war came. On August 9, 1945, the atomic …More
Thanks for this. He was overwhelmed by a painting of our Lady at the Cathedral in Nagasaki in his conversion. The “terrible mystery of providence”he talks about is the targeting of Catholics of Japan so that they can intercede with God for never again nuclear war. An anathema that it seems only the Shiite Sect of Islam has officially recognized among major religions. This targeting of Catholics is being repeated in Ukraine by soulless Ukrainian and European leaders with non-constitutional American support. Takashi Nagai is one of my intercessors in Radiolgy.
Nach einer alten kroatischen Tradition sagt der Priester einem Ehepaar nicht, dass sie „den Richtigen“ gefunden haben. Er sagt ihnen die Wahrheit: Ihr habt euer Kreuz gefunden. Kein Kreuz, dem ihr entfliehen müsst. Kein Kreuz, das ihr ablegen müsst. Sondern ein Kreuz, das ihr lieben, gemeinsam tragen und schätzen sollt.
Der Anteil der Erwachsenen, die sich als katholisch bezeichnen, ist in weiten Teilen Lateinamerikas in den letzten zehn Jahren stark zurückgegangen. Laut einem Bericht des Pew Research Center vom 21. Januar ist die Zahl der Menschen ohne Religionszugehörigkeit gestiegen. Dies stellt eine Veränderung in einer Region dar, in der um 1900 mehr als 90% der Menschen katholisch waren. Der Bericht, Catholicism Has Declined in Latin America Over the Past Decade (Katholizismus ist in Lateinamerika im letzten Jahrzehnt zurückgegangen ), basiert auf Umfragen unter mehr als 6.200 Erwachsenen in Argentinien, Brasilien, Chile, Kolumbien, Mexiko und Peru, die im Frühjahr 2024 durchgeführt wurden. Beim Vergleich der Ergebnisse mit einer ähnlichen Umfrage von 2013-14 stellte Pew fest, dass der Anteil der Katholiken in allen sechs Ländern um mindestens 9 Prozentpunkte gesunken ist. Heute machen die Katholiken 46% der Erwachsenen in Brasilien und Chile aus, 58% in Argentinien, 60% in Kolumbien und 67% …More
Consultations have started in parishes of the Archdiocese of Paris amid a growing influx of adults and teenagers seeking baptism in the Catholic Church. Over 10,000 people entered the Catholic Church in France at last year’s Easter Vigil
St. John Chrysostom, one of the great Church Fathers, described how demons thrived on sexual immorality, particularly child molestation, marital destruction, etc. This debauchery was central to the “mysteries” of various pagan religions that denominated the world before the advent of Christ and His Church. When (since?) Satan is once more unleashed (Apoc. 20:7), don’t be surprised if those who do such things attain the summits of power. “As long as the sacrifices and shameful rituals are carried out—for their mysteries are nothing else but sexual immorality, child molestation, violations of marriages, and upsettings of families…as long as these rites are carried out, they [the demons] are present and rejoice.” St. John Chrysostom, “Discourse on Blessed Babylas” (§74)
Thanks for this. Today is the feast day of the Transfer of the Relics of Saint John Chrysostom in the East "[The Lord] teaches us to make prayer in common for all our brethren. For He did not say "my Father" who art in heaven but "our" Father, offering petitions for the common Body." Saint John Chrysostom, Homiliae in Matthaeum
23. januára 2026AktualityLGBT Tak toto nemali asi ani v Amerike: protestantský pastor celebroval „svadbu“ dvoch homosexuálov v katolíckom kostole Nanebovzatia Panny Márie na populárnom pútnickom mieste. Kostol v Neratove so sklenenou strechou, ktorá tak ohúrila dvoch homosexuálov, až sa ho rozhodli znesvätiť zdroj: fb Jaroslav Jindra „Obrad, aký múry istého českého kostola doposiaľ nezažili. Roman a Štěpán, dvaja mladí muži, sa rozhodli spečatiť svoj vzťah aj pred Bohom. Mnohí by si povedali, že niečo také je až nereálne. No kde je vôľa, tam je aj cesta,“ píše drzo TV Markíza na svojej internetovej stránke v článku pod rovnako drzým názvom Zdalo sa to nemožné, no napokon skončili pri oltári: Roman a Štěpán si povedali áno v rímskokatolíckom kostole. Na stránke je aj reportáž Markízy k tejto poburujúcej udalosti, ktorá je natočená spôsobom, akoby išlo o romantickú svadbu mladého muža a mladej ženy, no opak je pravdou: za ruky sa držia dvaja muži. Najprv sa zoznámili …
Here is the July 2024 video of JD Vance endorsing access to the abortion pill mifepristone: "Just to be clear, you support access to mifepristone?" JDVance: "Yes, I do."
Trump and his gang promoting the death pill must be getting a great kickback from the pharmaceuticals. Pro Life means ALL LIFE! Killing people in the high seas so they can't speak and prove they are fishermen is not Pro Life. Telling bibi to KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! Is not Pro Life. Bombing innocent people. Not pro life. Telling the governors in the US to do what they want with abortion laws, is not Pro Life! There is no such thing as becoming more Pro Life. Either you are. Or you aren't. Just like his sick wife who is totally for killing unborn babies in the womb. I wonder if she is also for killing children outside of the womb. I wonder sometimes how many children she killed. (If she did.) If she is that strongly for abortions. Two sick people who pretend to be religious. Neither have GOD in them. melania who sounds and acts more prot. trump who doesn't sound like he even cares about GOD. Only mentions GOD when it's convenient to him. You know to dupe his fan club. What did he do …More
Hl Franz von Sales: Als junger Mann litt Franz unter einer schrecklichen spirituellen Krise. Beeinflusst von der calvinistischen Lehre, wurde er von der Prädestination besessen und war überzeugt, dass er, egal was er tat, auf ewig verdammt sein würde. Er verfiel in Verzweiflung, hörte auf zu essen und glaubte, Gott habe ihn verworfen. Eines Tages, als er vor einer Statue der Muttergottes betete, vollzog er einen radikalen Akt der Hingabe: „Was auch immer geschieht, Herr, ich werde dich lieben.“ In diesem Moment brach der Bann des Calvinismus vollständig.
