A Social Media Ban For Minors Requires Data From Everyone

Authored by Luke Nelson and Mike Campbell via The Epoch Times,
In debating a social media ban for minors, it appears we face a choice between two perceived harms.
One is the reported damage that social media is doing to the mental health of children and adolescents.
The other is the normalization of mass age verification systems—most likely involving biometrics—that would apply to everyone, not just minors.

This carries real risks of privacy invasion, data breaches, and future mission creep.
There is little dispute that many Western countries have experienced a rise in youth mental health problems beginning around 2010–2012 (when Smartphones and social media exploded). Anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide rates among adolescents, particularly girls, have increased dramatically since this period. There is disagreement, however, not over whether these spikes exist, but whether they can be attributed specifically to social media. The lingering effects of the pandemic and …

Schism in the Church. The stages and events. How to recognise schismatics and the harm they cause.

1) Any doctrine that does not originate in the Holy Scriptures and which claims to proclaim the Truth is a lie.
a) Saint John 7:18 “He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the Glory of the One who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”
b) The FAITHFUL Church will suffer and be persecuted for protecting the Holy Gospel (Bishop Strickland); on the other hand, the schismatics are attempting to reinvent the Church of Jesus, modernise His teachings and introduce obscene laws into the Church (Fiducia suplicans, Pachamama: Cardinal Fernández, Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV).
2) Edson Glauber of Brazil received specific dates for events from the Blessed Mother of God:
a) During the seven years from 2005 to 2012: there will be fierce attacks against the Supreme Pontiff. (Benedict XVI resigned in February 2013).
b) During the seven years from 2012 to 2019: confusion and heresy against the faith, the dogmas and the teachings of the Church will …More

End of an Era: Jesuits Withdraw from Murcia: The Society of Jesus has closed its last remaining community in Murcia, Spain, ending its resident presence in the Diocese of Cartagena. Jesuit Provincial Fr. Enric Puiggròs said the closure is part of a "restructuring" driven by a lack of vocations and the aging of the order's members. The Jesuits' presence in Murcia goes back to the 16th century, shortly after the founding of the Society of Jesus in 1540.

The last Jesuits of the Region bid farewell as they close their Santo Domingo community in Murcia due to 'the scarce vocations and our unavoidable aging'

Los últimos jesuitas de la Región se despiden al cerrar su comunidad de Santo Domingo en Murcia por "las escasas vocaciones y nuestro inapelable envejecimiento"

"Que así hayan sucedido las cosas, después de intentar, durante no poco tiempo, que fueran de otra forma, es un capítulo más de ese momento de repliegue que experimenta hoy la vida religiosa en la Iglesia de Europa, y que también tiene su impacto en la Compañía de Jesús". Así comenzaba el provincial de la Compañía de Jesús en España, Enric Puiggròs Llavinés, su discurso de despedida con motivo del adiós a los pocos religiosos que aún vivían en comunidad en un pìso de Murcia, junto al templo de Santo Domingo.
Y es que la orden atraviesa, detalló, "un momento institucional de fuerte debilidad, causada principalmente por el escaso número de vocaciones que Dios nos está concediendo en estos últimos años y por nuestro progresivo e inapelable envejecimiento". Así las cosas, la Compañía de Jesús llevó a cabo una reestructuración y cerró el piso. Los moradores del mismo vivirán ahora en otra comunidad autónoma.
Para decirles adiós, una Eucaristía, en Santo Domingo, oficiada …

"And pride is the foundation of all sins. V.g. Why is someone avaricious? It is from pride, because he does not wish to obey the precept of God saying, "You should not lust," or "not commit thefts" etc. Why is someone lustful? Is it not from pride, because he does not wish to obey the precept, "You shall not commit fornication?" Same for gluttony and the other sins. Authority: "Pride is the beginning of all sin," (Sir 10:15). Therefore Christ comes in great humility to reform us, like a servant in administering to us the works of redemption through human incarnation."

– Folha de S. Paulo, February 23, 1981 –
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
I am taking a deep interest in the Polish question and I think the reader should too.
It is quite true that for many religious, historical, ethnic, and geographical reasons Poland of itself merits special respect and affection from all Catholics.
Consequently, current events there should attract everyone’s attention. But at the present we are led to that conclusion by reasons of an even greater import.
For the world, the events in Poland are constituted as a sign of the future. If the unique relationship, which a newspaper has called “the Polish triangle,” between the Warsaw government, the episcopate, and the coalition of workers’ organizations labeled “Solidarity” is successful, then something in communism has changed.
Or something has changed in the Church, and therefore, in the world. Something, indeed, that until a while ago was steadfastly deemed immutable. How can I affirm this?
Perhaps a metaphor would be …More

Vance Criticizes Vatican Over Immigration in New Memoir

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has launched a scathing critique of the Vatican’s diplomatic leadership, accusing high-ranking officials of offering “trite platitudes” instead of moral clarity.
In his newly released memoir,
Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, Vance details a tense encounter with the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. The confrontation, which took place in April 2025, centered on the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies. Vance, a high-profile Catholic convert, writes that he was “unsettled” by the Church’s refusal to endorse a nation’s right to secure its borders, describing the experience as a turning point in his relationship with the institutional Church.
The dispute highlights a fundamental ideological rift between the current U.S. administration and the Holy See under Pope Francis. While the Vatican has consistently championed the rights of migrants and the moral obligation of wealthy nations to provide sanctuary, Vance …

Italian Town of Mantua, (Italy)
geobeats Basilica di Sant'Andrea di Mantova: The purpose of the new building was to contain the pilgrims who visited it during the feast of Ascension when a vial, that contains the Blood of Christ, is brought up from the crypt below through a hole in the floor directly under the dome. The relic, called Preziosissimo Sangue di Cristo ("Most Precious Blood of Christ"), is preserved in the Sacred Vessels, according to the tradition was brought to Mantua by the Roman centurion Longinus.

‘Sanctus Infans’ Holy Rosary Devotion - Pax Orbis

The Rosary as a Spiritual Weapon
Just as Our Lady of Lepanto delivered Christendom from physical destruction, the
Holy Rosary remains one of our most powerful spiritual weapons against the culture of death, especially the evil of abortion.
by Lyn Wade
Each time we pray the angelic salutation of the Hail Mary, we not only honour the Mother of God, but also adore the blessed fruit of her womb: Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God, who sanctified the unborn by taking flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
Our Response to a Spiritual Battle
To confront the evil of abortion, which is deeply entrenched in our society, Catholics cannot rely on secular or political strategies alone. While pro-life rallies and sidewalk counselling have their place, this is ultimately a spiritual battle.
For this reason, we must turn with confidence to the enduring power of this Marian devotion: the Holy Rosary. The true battlefront is spiritual, and it is fought on our knees through prayer, sacrifice and …

I am saddened to read this. Our Lady of Fatima clearly stated "only I can help you." So instead of uniting their efforts to stop this "error of Russia," abortion, they fracture and draw attention away from the solution to this problem, the Five First Saturday Devotion, and the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate heart of Mary. I think this is an aspect of the "great deception," to ignore or down play the significance of Our Lady and her message today. Today the Rosary is not enough, but nobody is listening to what Our Blessed Mother of Fatima" said!

Leo XIV Against Remigration of Migrants: Asked about “remigration” of immigrants, Pope Leo XIV replied on Tuesday in Castel Gandolfo: “Simply saying, ‘We send them away, and then the problem is off our hands,’ does not seem to me to be the most Christian response.” He said migrants should be respected as persons, their reasons for leaving considered, and their cases examined individually.

Sulla questione remigrazione, esorta a trattare “con rispetto ogni persona”: “Dire mandiamo via, così ci laviamo le mani, non mi sembra una risposta cristiana”.
