The Society of Saint Pius X has built a new church in Atlanta, designed to accommodate 500 worshippers. It is designed in a neoclassical style and draws inspiration from Roman basilicas, although some Baroque elements are planned.
J.D. Vance attended a traditional Latin Mass with his family at Old St. Mary’s Church in Cincinnati on August 23. Although Vance has previously said he is not particularly devoted to the Latin Mass, he has criticized restrictions on the traditional liturgy. His attendance attracted attention because it is unusual for a sitting U.S. vice president to participate in a Mass celebrated according to the 1962 missal.
Today, Vice President J.D. Vance attended a Mass in the Roman rite with his family at Old St. Mary’s Church in Cincinnati, reports Crisis Magazine editor Eric Sammons on x.com, who was present. “It was nice to see J.D. Vance and his beautiful family at Mass this morning,” Sammons wrote on X on August 23. Sammons said Vance lives nearby and that his family attends several Cincinnati-area parishes when in town. He added that this was Vance’s first visit to Old St. Mary’s since becoming vice president. Vance’s presence brought additional security. According to Sammons, Secret Service agents screened everyone entering the church with handheld wands and checked bags. Sammons said the screening caused only a minute or two of waiting, describing the agents as “professional, efficient, and quite friendly. He also noted that he had heard Vance say his family deliberately varies which churches it attends to avoid repeatedly inconveniencing parishioners at any one parish. #newsBibrwcfcti
HustleBitch @HustleBitch_ JAPAN IS BANNING AMERICAN CEREALS BECAUSE THEY CAUSE CANCER — AND KIDS IN THE U.S. ARE STILL EATING THEM Japan is considering banning popular American cereals like Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, Honey Bunches of Oats, and snacks like Wheat Thins. Why? Because they contain BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene), a chemical used as a preservative and flavor enhancer that Japan considers too dangerous. While other countries are rejecting these products over cancer concerns, they’re still widely sold in American stores. If Japan doesn’t want it in their country… why are we still feeding it to our kids?
Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of ’s-Hertogenbosch spoke with AdVaticanum.com on August 22 about the Synod and the decline of Catholicism in the Netherlands. Main quotes. - “Walking together” is valuable only if the Church knows where she is walking. The destination is not increased participation but Christ. - Consultation, participation, pastoral structures and synodal methods all have their place. Once the means start occupying more attention than the end, something has become inverted. - The Church possesses something unusual among institutions: she has received a Revelation which she did not invent and cannot rewrite. - The missing words in the Synod are repentance and conversion. - The synodal process did not create the Western European crisis. But after several years, there is little evidence that it has found an effective remedy for it. The medicine resembles the disease! - Nobody needs Christianity in order to learn that meetings should be inclusive. - Dutch statistics report …More

Church authorities are examining a possible Eucharistic miracle after a consecrated Host placed in water reportedly failed to dissolve and subsequently developed reddish stains that “could be blood”, the Cathedral Parish of El Niño Dios in Cuilapa, Guatemala, has announced on August 22. The parish is the cathedral of the Diocese of Santa Rosa de Lima. The incident began on July 30, during a Missionary Eucharistic Week. A priest was celebrating the Eucharist at a private school when he noticed that a teenage student, after receiving Holy Communion, was removing the Host from his mouth. The priest intervened before the student could throw it to the ground. Following the procedure used in such cases, the priest placed the Host in a glass of water in the chapel of the parish house so that it could dissolve. When the chapel was cleaned the following Thursday, however, a parish worker found that the Host had not dissolved and noticed reddish stains which appeared as though they might be blood …More
Steve Greene @msugreen07 They want to hide their Jewishness. It was called "name changing" or "whitening." After WWII, Jews in America changed their last names to sound less Jewish because they were afraid of antisemitism. They wanted to blend in with white people and get better jobs. Continued...

Saint Éoghan of Ardstraw | The Irish Bishop Who Built a Community for Christ | August 23 August 23, we remember Saint Éoghan of Ardstraw, an early Irish bishop, monastic founder and missionary associated especially with County Tyrone in Ireland. Known in English as Saint Eugene, Éoghan lived around the 6th century, during the remarkable expansion of Christianity throughout Ireland. Historical information about his life is limited, and many details come from later traditions. Yet his enduring reputation tells us something important: Éoghan helped build Christian communities that continued long after his own lifetime. CHRISTIANITY IN EARLY IRELAND The Ireland of Éoghan's time looked very different from the Church we know today. Monasteries became important centres of: Prayer Scripture Learning Community Missionary activity Christianity was spreading through networks of bishops, monks, missionaries and newly established religious communities. Éoghan became part of this …More
By Peter Kreeft Without qualification, without ifs, ands, or buts, God's word tells us, straight as a left jab, that love is the greatest thing there is (1 Cor 13: 13). Scripture never says God is justice or beauty or righteousness, though he is just and beautiful and righteous. But "God is love" (1 Jn 4:8). Love is God's essence, his whole being. Everything in him is love. Even his justice is love. Paul identifies "the justice of God" in Romans 1:17 with the most unjust event in all history, deicide, the crucifixion, for that was God's great act of love. But no word is more misunderstood in our society than the word love. One of the most useful books we can read is C. S. Lewis' unpretentious little masterpiece The Four Loves. There, he clearly distinguishes agape, the kind of love Christ taught and showed, from storge (natural affection or liking), eros (sexual desire), and philia (friendship). It is agape that is the greatest thing in the world. The old word for agape in English was …More
The ART of deceit to mislead the Faithful. Many consecrated will break the Vows they made with God and embrace what is abominable. 1) Genesis 3: 1-4,6; The serpent was the most cunning of all the animals of the field that Yahweh God had made. And he said to the woman, “How is it that God has said to you, ‘You shall not eat from any of the trees of the garden’?” The woman replied to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden. But as for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it, or you will DIE.’” The serpent said to the woman, “YOU WILL NOT DIE”. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eye, and desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, and he ate it. 2) Proverbs 6:16-17: "A lying tongue" and "a false witness who lies with every breath" among the seven things God detests. 3) John 8:44; You belong to your father,…More
1) Księga Rodzaju 3: 1-4,6; Wąż był najprzebieglejszym ze wszystkich zwierząt polnych, które stworzył Bóg Jahwe. I rzekł do kobiety: „Jak to, że Bóg wam powiedział: «Nie wolno wam jeść z żadnego drzewa w ogrodzie»?”. Kobieta odpowiedziała wężowi: „Możemy jeść owoce drzew w ogrodzie. Ale co do owocu drzewa, które znajduje się pośrodku ogrodu, Bóg powiedział: «Nie wolno wam go jeść ani nawet dotykać, bo umrzecie»”. Wąż rzekł do kobiety: „NIE UMRZECIE”. Gdy kobieta zobaczyła, że drzewo to jest dobre do jedzenia, miłe dla oczu i pożądane, by zdobyć mądrość, zerwała z niego owoc i zjadła; dała też mężowi, a on zjadł. 2) Księga Przysłów 6:16-17: „Kłamliwy język” i „fałszywy świadek, który kłamie z każdym oddechem” należą do siedmiu rzeczy, których Bóg nienawidzi. 3) Ewangelia według św. Jana 8:44: „Wy należycie do waszego ojca, diabła, i chcecie spełniać pragnienia waszego ojca.

Second Letter. The original letter is allegedly preserved in the city of Montalto in Calabria: My excellent Lord, — You and your consort desire to have children; you shall have them. Your holy offspring shall be admired upon earth. Among your descendants there will be one who shall be like the sun amidst the stars. He shall be a first-born son; in his childhood he will be like a saint; in his youth, a great sinner; then he will be converted entirely to God and will do great penance; his sins will be forgiven him, and he shall become a great saint. He shall be a great captain and prince of holy men, who shall be called the holy Crociferi (I.e the Cruciferi, cross-bearers) of Jesus Christ, with whom he shall destroy the Mahometan sect and the rest of the infidels. He shall annihilate all the heresies and tyrannies of the world. He shall reform the Church of God by means of his followers, who shall be the best men upon earth in holiness, in arms, in science, and in every virtue, because …More
"He shall reform the Church of God by means of his followers, who shall be the best men upon earth in holiness, in arms, in science, and in every virtue, because such is the will of the Most High. They shall obtain the dominion of the whole world, both temporal and spiritual, and they shall support the Church of God until the end of time. I say no more."
" Your holy offspring shall be admired upon earth. Among your descendants there will be one who shall be like the sun amidst the stars.

Book of Revelation 21,9b-14. The angel spoke to me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." He took me in spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. It gleamed with the splendor of God. Its radiance was like that of a precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal. It had a massive, high wall, with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed and on which names were inscribed, (the names) of the twelve tribes of the Israelites. There were three gates facing east, three north, three south, and three west. The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation, on which were inscribed the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. shareyourcatholicfaith
Buch der Offenbarung 21,9b-14. Ein Engel sagte zu mir: Komm, ich will dir die Braut zeigen, die Frau des Lammes. Da entrückte er mich in der Verzückung auf einen großen, hohen Berg und zeigte mir die heilige Stadt Jerusalem, wie sie von Gott her aus dem Himmel herabkam, erfüllt von der Herrlichkeit Gottes. Sie glänzte wie ein kostbarer Edelstein, wie ein kristallklarer Jaspis. Die Stadt hat eine große und hohe Mauer mit zwölf Toren und zwölf Engeln darauf. Auf die Tore sind Namen geschrieben: die Namen der zwölf Stämme der Söhne Israels. Im Osten hat die Stadt drei Tore und im Norden drei Tore und im Süden drei Tore und im Westen drei Tore. Die Mauer der Stadt hat zwölf Grundsteine; auf ihnen stehen die zwölf Namen der zwölf Apostel des Lammes.
More than 2,300 Catholics took part in Argentina’s 17th Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Christendom from August 15–17. Inspired by the Paris–Chartres pilgrimage in France, this year’s pilgrimage set a new attendance record. The pilgrims covered approximately 100 kilometres from the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rawson, in Buenos Aires Province, to the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján, Argentina’s national Marian shrine. Mass in the traditional Roman rite was celebrated each day at outdoor altars along the route. The traditional Mass was not permitted inside the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján. The pilgrimage instead concluded at the basilica on August 17 with Eucharistic adoration and the Rosary. Several prominent clergy took part in the pilgrimage. - Fr. Raúl Olazábal, of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, celebrated Mass on the first day, the Feast of the Assumption. - Fr. Augustin-Marie Aubry, prior of the Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer in Chémeré, France, celebrated …More
Christendom College Alumna Seeks to Restore Beauty and Truth to the Fashion Industry: ‘Fashion [is] actually a unique expression of man’s rational and social nature. It is only as rational beings that we are able to perceive beauty and attempt in an infinite number of ways to try and express it.’
That's the good thing about classical education--it produces people with the foundation to reflect on all the ways they could use their intelligence and imaginations to serve God in a way few had ever thought of before.
Two short video quotes from today's Angelus: Leo XIV offers unusual definitions of faith, suggesting that focusing on what has been handed down to us is insufficient.
@hiti "Ist bei Menschen dasselbe: Mag ich ihn, grüße ich ihn, mag ich ihn nicht, sperre oder meide ich ihn." Ja, habe ich auch schon bei mir selbt erlebt. Als ein Autofahrer mir die Vorfahrt nahm und es beinahe zu einem Unfall gekommen wäre, habe ich beim Aussteigen geschimpft wie ein Rohrspatz und als ich dann näher hinschaute, wurde aus dem Schimpfen ein " Ach du bist es, lange nicht gesehen, also beinahe hätte es gekracht, liebe Grüße an deine Familie ...Tschüß".
Wer dem Papst gut gesinnt ist, sieht das ganze positiv. Wer den Papst nicht anerkennt, findet immer das Haar in der Suppe. Ist bei Menschen dasselbe: Mag ich ihn, grüße ich ihn, mag ich ihn nicht, sperre oder meide ich ihn. CHRISTLICH IST DAS NICHT!
