Enoch Burke Ordered to Pay Over €200,000 in Fines – Allah's Willing Executioners

Enoch Burke @RoscommonPeople on X, July 2, 2026 Irish teacher Enoch Burke has been ordered by the High Court to pay over €200,000 in fines following his refusal to comply with a request to use a student’s preferred pronouns and new name, in a case that has become one of Ireland’s most controversial legal battles over free speech and religious freedom. The controversy began in 2021, when Burke refused to comply with the directive of the principal of Wilson’s Hospital School that said teachers were “expected” to refer to a biologically female who had decided to ‘transition’ as “they.” His brother, Josiah Burke, shared news of the ruling the ruling on X, writing: “BREAKING: My brother teacher @EnochBurke has been ordered to pay almost €210,000 in fines by a High Court Judge.” He argued that Burke’s “crime” was “refusing to accept you can be suspended from your job for not calling a child ‘they,’” adding the court decision marked “a shameful day for Ireland.” Before the ruling was announced …

1302. Ceasefire Suspended – World Scam

18. July 2026 18. July 2026 07/18/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The ceasefire in the Persian Gulf will go back into effect, provided the Israeli president can reach an agreement with the U.S. president on this issue. If they fail to reach an agreement, we’ll be treated to a grand speech by Trump in which he announces that Iran is begging him to end hostilities and that he is showing mercy for humanitarian reasons. Why? Because in three and a half months, the U.S. will hold elections for both chambers of Congress—the so-called midterm elections. Before that, on October 27, Israel will hold presidential elections. I know many of you believe that elections would be banned if they actually changed anything. I agree with the assertion that elections are a theatrical charade that exploits the base motives of voters who are hungry for “campaign promises,” but surely no one will dispute that Trump’s election changed a great deal in the world. You’ll say: Sure—he attacked Iran, is constantly …

Leo XIV May Replace Cardinal Parolin as Secretary of State: The Substack.com account The Pillar speculates that Leo XIV could replace Cardinal Pietro Parolin, 71, as Secretary of State as early as this summer. Citing anonymous Vatican sources, it says Leo XIV has concerns about Parolin's effectiveness in coordinating Vatican departments. The article identifies Archbishop Paul Gallagher, 72, and Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu, 66, as the leading candidates.

At the largest and most influential of these, the Secretariat of State, Pope Leo XIV could replace Cardinal Pietro Parolin as Secretary of State as early as this summer, according to several diplomatic and Vatican sources who spoke to The Pillar...
...The question of who might succeed Gambetti at Saint Peter’s is more complicated. Vatican sources told The Pillar that Parolin himself might be appointed to the position. However, other senior sources told The Pillar that the pope intended to move Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, current archpriest of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major to the position, while other rumors point to the appointment of Archbishop Diego Ravelli, Master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations...

Who could be Leo’s pick for Secretary of State, whenever it comes?

One of the remaining great unknowns of the Leonine pontificate is when the pope could choose to replace the heads of Vatican departments remaining from the Francis papacy. Pope Leo XIV and Caridnal Pietro Parolin. Credit: Vatican media. At the largest and most influential of these, the Secretariat of State, Pope Leo XIV could replace Cardinal Pietro Parolin as Secretary of State as early as this summer, according to several diplomatic and Vatican sources who spoke to The Pillar. The move, if it happens, would replace the Vatican’s second-highest official and the pope’s closest institutional advisor. According to several of these sources, Pope Leo has privately expressed some reservations about Parolin’s effectiveness as the epicenter of curial organization, a dynamic that may have led the pope to start considering replacing him. While no one knows except the pope when he might choose to replace the 71-year-old Parolin, speculation has already begun about his potential successors. The …

Vatican media publishes article dismissing the realities of original sin and the devil

It is not found in Genesis—at the root of a misunderstanding The serpent, the woman and the fruit. And Satan? When reading the opening pages of the Bible, a question inevitably arises: how does the Garden of Eden—where God placed the human being "to cultivate and care for it" (Genesis 2:15)—transform from a place of delight into an abyss of despair (Genesis 3:24)? Article by Marinella Perroni, a theologian The story’s protagonists are well known to all: a serpent—the animal desert nomads considered the most insidious; a woman—whom God created because it was not good for man to be alone; and a fruit—not an apple, but the fruit of a garden where every tree was "pleasing to the eye and good for food" (Genesis 2:9). The message is clear: treachery inhabits the garden of life just as much as wonder and abundance; for this very reason, Eden serves as a primal metaphor for life—for its beauty, yet also for its tragic contradictions. Thus, in just a few strokes, one of antiquity’s most poignant …

To what end: the tallest and most expensive skyscraper in the world?

From Genesis 11: 1-9 we have the story and lesson of the Tower of Babel: The whole world spoke the same language, with the same vocabulary. Now, as people moved eastwards they found a valley in the land of Shinar where they settled. They said to one another, 'Come, let us make bricks and bake them in the fire.' For stone they used bricks, and for mortar they used bitumen. 'Come,' they said, 'let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top reaching heaven. Let us make a name for ourselves, so that we do not get scattered all over the world.' Now the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people had built. 'So they are all a single people with a single language!' said the Lord. 'This is only the start of their undertakings! Now nothing they plan to do will be beyond them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they cannot understand one another.' The Lord scattered them thence all over the world, and they stopped building the city. That is why …

Father Víctor Hugo Gaviria, named Torvic, from Tuluá, Colombia, say: "It feels so good when people support you and share your passion with you." It is to be expected that he has more passion for his priesthood than for women and dancing.

Archbishop Wrote That Leo XIV Shares Pro-Homosexual Agenda: The pro-homosexual final report of the Synod's Study Group Number 9 should not surprise anybody, because certain bishops are encouraging the homosex community, Cardinal Burke told Edward Pentin in a recent video interview. These bishops claim that the Church is changing and that the homosexuals should continue in their sinful ways. Cardinal Burke mentioned the letter from an Archbishop who claimed that "Leo XIV shared this view, because he doesn’t talk about sexual morality." For Cardinal Burke it is completely irresponsible to write something like that.

The SSPX excommunications have forced the Church crisis out in the open
Faith & Reason
July 15, 2026
The excommunications of the Society of Saint Pius X have done what decades of debate could not: They have forced the crisis in the Catholic Church out into the open. Cardinals, archbishops, and faithful are now publicly divided over whether Pope Leo XIV is preserving or departing from historic Catholic teaching.
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo praises the Pope’s leadership. Archbishop Jan Paweł Lenga labels Leo a “False Peter.” Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò defends the SSPX and questions the Vatican’s response. The battle lines are drawn, not over personalities but over authority, tradition, and the very identity of the Church.
The SSPX’s decision to appeal its excommunication decree is a strategic move to force a public examination of the Vatican’s justification. Father Charles Murr argues that Catholics should not fear respectfully questioning Church leaders. The pope is not beyond criticism,…More

‘What we do is called international terrorism’ – Ukrainian spy behind Monaco bombing

Russian law enforcement has lifted the veil on the identity of the agent who plotted numerous terrorist attacks around the world Ukrainian military intelligence feels complete impunity for their terrorist attacks, be it in Russia or in the heart of Europe, Vitaly Zhikovich, the alleged mastermind of the Monaco bombing, bragged in audio recordings obtained by RT. The suspect was well known to Russian security services and was on Moscow’s radar for over two years due to his attempts to organize dozens of terrorist attacks and sabotage in Russia. After Zhikovich was caught getting rid of an asset who tried to assassinate a foe of Vladimir Zelensky in Monaco, Russian law enforcement decided to lift the veil on his true identity, RT’s Roman Kosarev said in an exclusive report. Monaco bombing The operation took place on June 29 and was initially described by Monaco officials as an unprecedented attack in the history of the country. The target was Vadim Ermolaev, a former Ukrainian multimillionaire …

Is Immigration Becoming a New Catholic Dogma?

The migrant is presented as the sole holder of rights, while the host community is reduced to a collection of moral debtors, stripped of any legitimate claim to security, identity, cultural continuity, and political order. On July 15, several outlets reported the news of a very particular tour that Mattia Ferrari, an Italian priest and coordinator of the World Meeting of Popular Movements (WMPM), is carrying out from the end of June across 21 cities in the United States, starting from California and reaching New York, passing through the State of Washington, Texas, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan, Louisiana, Washington D.C., and New Jersey. The tour is expected to end around the first days of August. The ultimate goal of this tour is to receive and listen to the various immigrant families, to understand their suffering and the difficulties of integration, and to raise awareness not only among public opinion in the cities visited, but above all among the bishops of …

[EN/DE] Behind the curtain:

Israel quietly instructed Ukraine's war machine
For nearly 4 years, Israel has claimed neutrality in Ukraine. Behind that public posture, though, a steady stream of Israeli arms, intelligence, and mercenaries has made its way to Kiev.
Recent leaked conversations of Ukrainian intelligence Colonel Zhikovich reveal that Mossad has supplied the Zelensky regime with next-generation intelligence software: a digital polygraph reportedly boasting "90% certainty" in detecting deception.
Shadow intelligence, shadow aims
Since 2022, Israeli private defense firms have provided Ukraine with high-resolution satellite imagery. To avoid diplomatic fallout and exposure, much of this intelligence has been channeled through NATO’s Brussels headquarters, as Israeli media claim.
In return, Ukraine has shared battle-tested drone-defense tactics, including electronic warfare measures and anti-drone nets, honed in real combat. Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Korniychuk confirmed the exchange in March 2026,…More
