A sailor had been receiving letters from a woman he had never met. Her name was Rose. They had been writing to each other for three years. Somewhere between the long months at sea, the lonely evenings, and the letters he read over and over, he realized he had come to depend on her words. She became part of his life, and without ever planning it, they fell in love. When his service finally ended, they agreed to meet at the city’s main train station at five o’clock. Rose told him she would be wearing a red rose pinned to her coat so he could recognize her. On the way there, the sailor couldn’t stop wondering what she looked like. He had never seen a photograph of her. He didn’t know her age. He had no idea whether she was beautiful or plain, tall or short, slim or heavy. At exactly five, he saw a woman approaching with a red rose pinned to her coat. She looked to be around sixty. For a moment, the sailor hesitated. He could have turned around and walked away. Rose would never have known. …More

Preliminary Recourse of FSSPX Rejected: The Vatican’s deadline to respond to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) regarding its preliminary recourse against the July 2 decree declaring six bishops automatically excommunicated has now passed, notes @Michael Haynes The FSSPX submitted its recourse to the Holy See on July 11. Under canon law, the competent authority had 30 days to respond. With that period now expired without a decision, the FSSPX can proceed to the next stage of its canonical challenge. Canon 1735 provides that when no decision is issued within the prescribed 30 days, the time limit for presenting hierarchical recourse begins to run from the 30th day.
Chris Jackson Aug 26, 2026 A Vatican doctrinal official offered coca leaves to Mother Earth in Cusco. Francis defended her idols. Robert Prevost once knelt inside her rite. Vatican media buried the evidence. Watch the footage before reading another word. A woman stands over an arrangement on the floor in Cusco. Coca leaves have been passed around. The participants close their eyes and breathe as instructed. August, she tells them, is the special month of Mother Earth, who loves them, feeds them, and must be thanked. Each person is to breathe three times over the leaves and place them in the offering. Later, “Grandmother Fire” will carry their messages and return wisdom.

July 1 Blessed Junípero Serra Ferrer, O.F.M. (November 24, 1713 – August 28, 1784) Junípero Serra Ferrer, O.F.M. was a Spanish Franciscan friar who founded a mission in Baja California and the first nine of 21 Spanish missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco, which at the time were in Alta California in the Province of Las Californias in New Spain. He began in San Diego on July 16, 1769, and established his headquarters near Monterey, California, at Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo. The missions were primarily designed to convert the natives. Other aims were to integrate the neophytes into Spanish society, and to train them to take over ownership and management of the land. As head of the order in California, Serra not only dealt with church officials, but also with Spanish officials in Mexico City and with the local military officers who commanded the nearby presidios (garrisons). Serra was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 25, 1988 and Pope Francis expects …More
"Well, I guess I am also jealous of the TLM promoters. They are so well organized that, even though they are few in numbers, they get a huge amount of attention from the bishops and the media."

Ben-Gvir claims removing UNRWA compound from East Jerusalem Israel seizes UNRWA training center in occupied East Jerusalem Israel seized the Qalandia Training Center from UNRWA to build a new educational complex, claiming historical ownership by the Jewish National Fund and prompting Palestinian calls for UN intervention. 'Israeli' police forces took control of a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) facility in Kafr 'Aqab, located in East Jerusalem, and evicted its staff on Tuesday, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed. Speaking on behalf of the police force, Ben-Gvir confirmed that a large detachment of police personnel carried out the operation to remove the UN agency from the site.

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
I am leaving Part 1 here The Resurrection of Christ Season 1. Episode 1 And this is the playlist for the other parts. Some are in French and others in Polish further down. The Film The Resurrection of Christ Monk Elijah (Clement, Disciple of the Apostle Peter – Volume III) The central theme of The Apocalypse, the third volume of the tetralogy Clement, Disciple of the Apostle Peter, is the Apostle John’s Revelation on the island of Patmos. Through the prism of such disturbing contemporary phenomena as the new world order, microchipping, gender ideology, heresy, idolatry and occultism, the book explores the meaning of apocalyptic symbols and imagery. One interesting aspect of the book is its prophetic nature. First published in Czech in 2019, the book highlighted dangerous means of global control and depopulation, such as microchipping, vaccination and digitalisation, which became a reality almost immediately in the near future (the Covid pandemic, artificial intelligence). Not only does …More
