Cardinal notes “changing understandings of gender,” says Church must discern how to change. At Leo XIV's meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia on October 8, Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão delivered a speech on the challenges facing families in Asia. He is the President of the Conference of Bishops of India. Discussing changes in the “identity, nature and composition of the family,” the cardinal observed that “new forms of partnership and cohabitation are emerging, amid changing understandings of gender and relationships in urban settings.” Reflecting on what the Church has learned from its pastoral work, Ferrão declared: “Pastoral work is itself a place of discernment. We don't arrive with ready-made answers. We discern together with families and, in doing so, we learn how the Church herself is being asked to change.” In his conclusion, the cardinal stated that “there is no single stereotype of an ideal family” and asked, “What is the Holy Spirit asking the Church to change – not …More
I would challenge the cardinal to ask any 5 year old how many genders there are. They will give the correct answer than this cardinal will the answer, too. Apparently, he never learned it. Or, he knows the answer and is out to destroy the Church with demonic teachings.
Apostate and Gay activistJames Martin suggests his critics struggle ‘with their own sexuality’ 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Are you not aware that wrongdoers will never inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, extortioners, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
“The Creator is the source of human dignity, not the State.” Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk of Utrecht, Netherlands, argued in an October 8 interview with LaNuovaBq.it that democratic majorities cannot determine fundamental human rights. Without recognition of God as Creator, the State assumes the power to decide who deserves legal protection and who does not, including unborn children. Eijk insisted that legislation must be grounded in natural moral law. He also pointed to growing numbers of young Catholics in France, the Netherlands and England who embrace Church doctrine as a sign of hope.
Comments on St. Therese’s Offer in Holocaust to God’s Merciful Love by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Saint of the Day, Monday, April 17, 1967 Saint Galdinus, Confessor, cardinal and archbishop of Milan, gave his soul to God after a sermon against heretics. What a beautiful death! That is how I would like to die! After doing the most radical thing against heretics in my life, to pronounce the words “Our Lady” and die. That is how one should die. That would fill my soul. Our Lady will dispose of us as She sees fit. Since there is no Saint of the Day today, Dr. Paulinho forwarded to me a request from Chilean members to comment on an excerpt from St. Therese’s Offering to God’s Merciful Love. Here is the text: “I want to console You for the ingratitude of the wicked, and I beg of you to take away my freedom to displease You. If through weakness I sometimes fall, may Your Divine Glance cleanse my soul immediately, consuming all my imperfections like the fire that transforms everything into itself. …More

I still remember the summer my grandmother left my brother and me at the country house with Grandpa because she had to go away for a day. We were eight years old. That night, we were supposed to be sleeping, but instead we were whispering, laughing, and fooling around in bed. Grandpa finally said, “Go to sleep. I’m getting you up early tomorrow. Breakfast is at nine.” We didn’t care. We stayed awake past midnight. At 8:30 the next morning, Grandpa came in. “Up. Breakfast is at nine.” “Okay, Grandpa…” And we rolled over and went right back to sleep. We finally woke up around eleven. The little storage room where all the food was kept was locked. Grandpa had the key in his pocket. That was new for us. Grandma would have reheated breakfast five times if necessary. “Grandpa, what about breakfast?” He looked at us calmly. “Breakfast was at nine.” We wandered around for a while, annoyed and hungry, then decided we didn’t care. “Grandpa, we’re going down to the river.” “Go ahead,” he said. “…More
Very tense exchange between Bérénice, a doctor of philosophy and professor, and Elwan, a 17-year-old high school student. As he challenges her legitimacy to speak about school, she responds: "This young man is not going to explain to me what a teacher's mission is." Then she recalls what she considers to be the role of the educator: to transmit "the heritage of past centuries" and "the great works." Before concluding, dryly: "I am the possessor of knowledge and you are not. You are a student." A sequence that sums up the debate on authority in school all by itself.
08.10.2026 THE DECREE OF PROHIBITIONS ON THE SBC IN PRINCIPLE CONFUSES WHAT IS INVISIBLE AS BEING VISIBLE : THIS IS ILLEGAL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE? The Decree of Prohibitions on the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire, USA confuses what is invisible as being visible, this is illegal in New Hampshire? The Legislature and Mayor’s Office in New Hampshire, could confirm if LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to invisible or visible cases in 2026-2027. The media refers to the St. Benedict Center in Richmond, NH, as ‘ a sect’ even though they affirm the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms and Vatican Council II, interpreted rationally and they accept Pope Leo as the pope. He interprets Magisterial Documents irrationally, like popes Benedict and Francis. With Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church interpreted rationally, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican and Bishop Peter Libasci, the …More

just so we're clear, those guys in the black suits and hats are against the draft AS IT PERTAINS TO THEM. Otherwise, they're fine. They are despised in Israel. Kinda like ISIL is despised by Mohammedens and Trads are despised by Catholics.
