In Kharkiv, the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was damaged as a result of a Russian missile strike. This was reported on Facebook by the parish of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of the UGCC, according to Ukrinform. “The Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was damaged in the recent missile strike on Kharkiv: shrapnel damaged the church’s windows, as well as the surrounding area and premises,” the post reads.
"The reason the Church’s leaders persecute the most faithful Catholics is that, broadly speaking, the leadership of the Catholic Church on earth at this time is dominated by a network of active homosexuals and theological modernists." "Homosexuals reject the first principles of natural law. Modernists reject the first principles of divine revelation. Together, they reject the foundations not only of Christianity but of religion as such, and therefore of morality."
False movements in religion, science, politics move through phases. First the revolution phase where they blame bad fruit on the status quo, then the aftermath phase where they blame the bad fruit on the transition, then the cleansing phase where they blame the bad fruit on the infidels, then the bankruptcy phase where they blame the bad fruit on the lack of funding. Why did God let the Israelites wonder in the desert for 40 years? The answer may surprise you.
Italian Diocese Expands Women’s Roles in Church Administration. Worse than Germany: The Italian Diocese of Trapani, is increasingly appointing laypeople - including women - to formal Curia and diocesan roles as the number of priests declines. The diocese now has fewer than 100 diocesan priests and is bringing in priests from Madagascar, Tanzania, and religious institutes to fill parish vacancies. Among the most significant appointments, lawyer Susanna Catalano has been named the diocese’s second vice-chancellor. Four lay Catholics will receive the instituted ministry of catechist, including two women, Francesca Messina and Caterina Vesco.
Trapani, mancano i preti ma crescono i laici in Curia: Fragnelli cerca sacerdoti all’estero e nomina la seconda vicecancelliera
A depiction of Our Lady by Romanian artist Teodora Axente has sparked controversy in Siena, Italy. The Virgin on this year's Palio banner os androgynous and departs from any Marian iconography. The Municipality of Siena commissioned Axente to create the Drappellone, the painted silk banner awarded to the winning contrada, one of Siena's historic districts, in the city's centuries-old Palio horse race. Axente was appointed by the city government on the proposal of Mayor Nicoletta Fabio. The banner was unveiled on August 10. It places the Virgin above Siena and its contrade, protecting the Golden Rose associated with Pope Pius II, and commemorates the 500th anniversary of the 1526 Battle of Camollia. Axente called the figure her personal vision of the Madonna and said the figures in the work were “more androgynous” and therefore “universal characters.” On August 13, the Archdiocese of Siena published a statement by Father Enrico Grassini, rector of the Collegio dei Correttori. He rejected …More
A mother in Ceuta has broken down in tears on Live TV: "My 16-year-old daughter has to go everywhere with her father or with me because the migrants devour her. I can't take it anymore. I want them all gone." The left-wing feminists are silent.
"In the Middle Ages, the Christian nations and princes, enlightened by the Church, had foreseen this great social peril. On the one hand, they knew that they had a duty to bear with the Jews, and that it was impossible for them to make away with them, since the prophecies announce that they will subsist until the end of the times, and that only then will they return to the true Faith. On the other hand, they knew that they could not live in peace and security if they granted unrestricted freedom to such a grasping, all-pervading race. It is a fact of experience that, wherever the Jews establish themselves and predominate, they turn into despots and ravaging tyrants. That is why, denying them civil and political rights, which they would have abused - and do abuse - wherever wealth has made them masters, Canon Law granted them tolerance. It watched over them so that they might live in peace and go quietly about their activities and their commercial affairs without harming the Christians …More

One Canadian pastor who isn’t afraid to speak out as the Canadian military moves to ban Christian prayer at public events. It’s just another government attack against Christians.
Chapter V ~ On Charity to Sinners [Whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on Me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. —St. Matt. xviii. 6 (R.V.). Deal not roughly with him that is tempted; but give him comfort, as thou wouldest wish to be done to thyself. —The Imitation of Christ, i. 13.] I ~ The example of St. Antony, showing how he valued a sinner who repented. It happened that a certain brother in the community of the abbot Elias fell into sin. The brethren expelled him from the monastery and he fled to St. Antony who then dwelt on the inner mountain. The saint kept him there some time and then sent him back to the monastery from which he had been cast out. The brethren, when they saw him, immediately drove him forth again. Then, as at first, he fled to St. Antony, and said to him, "My father, they will not receive me." Then the saint was grieved, and sent to …More
"II ~ How the abbot Besarion desired to share the reproach of the Lord, of whom they said, "He eateth with publicans and sinners." A certain brother had sinned, and the priest ordered him to go out of the church and depart from the company of the brethren. Then the abbot Besarion arose and went out along with him, saying, "I also am a sinner."
– Folha de S. Paulo, November 23, 1987 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Today, I address a matter of great importance in our troubled national situation, but not in my capacity as President of the National Council of the TFP. I do so simply as an observer of events unfolding before everyone’s eyes. If I mention a current initiative of the TFP to illustrate my point, it is only because it provides a striking example and a useful analytical tool. I aim to underscore the gap between the truly historic importance of several issues raised during the debates of the Constituent Assembly and the role culture has played in shaping those debates. One could argue that the more significant a subject is, the more eager our constituents — and the political, social, and economic sectors interested in it — should be to listen to the experts (of whom we have long had a substantial number, endowed with unquestionable competence) whose contributions would elevate the preparatory studies and the debates …More
A sermon in Chicago, summer of 1975, St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church, Fr. John Kurty, in a church that had no air conditioning: "Just be attentive and sing the liturgy, and you'll forget the heat. And now that I've told you how to beat the heat up here, I'll teach you how to beat the heat down there." He was a believer -- imagine, preaching about Hell.

The Mass in the traditional Roman rite plays “no separate or prominent role” in the Archdiocese of Cologne, "conservative" Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki told Die-Tagespost.de on the occasion of his 70th birthday on August 17. “I see myself entirely at home in the tradition and teaching of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Woelki said. The liturgical reform was “one of the essential reforms” of Vatican II. The cardinal expressed gratitude to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), which celebrates the Roman liturgy at designated locations in the archdiocese. “I see this as an enrichment, because there have always been different rites in the Church,” he explained. His but: “The Novus Ordo Missae has a beauty and dignity that is in no way inferior to the Tridentine rite.” For Cardinal Woelki, the ars celebrandi is decisive. Liturgical abuses are not confined to the Novus Ordo, Cardinal Woelki believes. If Mass were merely "rattled off in ten to twelve minutes" - something that …More
You're kidding me. "looks to Protestants...Anglican". Let's imitate the "church" that's responsible for 2% "church" attendance of its population, and the very identify of the British may be erased? They're grasping for straws.
“The Novus Ordo Missae has a beauty and dignity that is in no way inferior to the Tridentine rite.” I don't think that is true. There is a lack of coherency inherent in it no matter how devoutly offered. I have on a few occasions attended a devoutly offered Latin Novus Ordo without knowing much about the Tridentine Rite having just started attending. The Offertory is so short the heart is not prepared for the consecration, in addition there is the irritation of the "you say I say" dialogue that disturbs full participation. Let alone the very many other shortcomings. He does make a serious and important point though concerning offering priest. I have heard of very short low Masses rattled off in record time in the past. It is sad to think of such a thing now. A lack of piety on the part of the priest and negligent liturgical oversight on part of the Bishop is toxic to any liturgy. In the end of the day though you have to face one telling fact. No one, not even a heretic modernist would …More
