Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, 97, in a text published by Sandro Magister on September 8, writes about “synodality.” Main points: - According to the classical Catholic understanding, a synod is a meeting of bishops for the purpose of exercising jointly their teaching and pastoral ministry. - In 1965, Paul VI created the so-called Synod of Bishops as a consultative body of the pope. - Recently established bodies whose members include, in addition to bishops, priests and lay faithful of both sexes cannot properly be called synods. - Competent laypeople can, of course, be entrusted with a consultative role. But wherever such collaboration is practiced, one should carefully avoid any misleading use of the terms “synod,” “synodality,” and the like, and instead find a term that adequately expresses the actual situation. - The establishment of such bodies arises from an effort to adopt secular structures and democratic procedures within the life of the Church. - What is being proposed within the …More

Title: The Syro-Phoenician woman's faith The persevering faith of the Syro‑Phoenician woman inspires my own life and strengthens my faith in God. She came to Jesus seeking HIS blessing, pleading for the cure of her afflicted daughter. And I too plead with Jesus for mercy upon my afflicted mother— a cancer patient for the second time. Together, my mother and I persevere in our faith, waiting upon HIS saving help. Though she endures painful, physically exhausting chemotherapy each month, yet she perseveres, keeping her faith and hope strong in God. Her steadfastness is a living witness to the strength that comes from trusting Jesus. #God#Christianlife
Full Movie - Secret of the Golden Arrow Holy Face Devotion -- Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face. youtube.com/watch?v=DcemQnlnleo Holy Face Devotion: Home Sister Mary of St. Peter (1816–1848), a Carmelite of Tours, reported interior locutions calling for reparation for blasphemy and the profanation of Sunday. Devotion to the Holy Face subsequently developed at Tours; the Archdiocese of Tours states that Pope Leo XIII approved the devotion in 1885, when the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face was established. The traditional Little Chaplet honors the five senses of Christ's Holy Face in five groups of six small beads and then recalls his public ministry on three small beads. With six large beads, there are 39 beads in all. This is a private devotion rather than a liturgical rite, and claims associated with private revelations must be understood according to the Church's teaching in Verbum Domini 14.
Why Did Trump Order Up 660 Million Pounds of Mystery Meat? nytimes.com/2026/09/07/opinion/trump-meat-import.… Sept. 7, 2026 CBy Eric Schlosser Eric Schlosser is the author of “Fast Food Nation.” Leer en español If you buy a T-shirt at Gap, it will have a label that tells you where it was made. That’s federal law. The same is true for automobiles, appliances, television sets, every fresh or frozen fruit and vegetable sold at the supermarket. Beef and pork are notable exceptions to these laws. And that may help to explain why President Trump signed a proclamation last month that will allow the duty-free importation of about 660 million pounds of inexpensive beef. If American consumers knew where that beef was coming from, they might not want to eat it. The cuts of meat covered by Mr. Trump’s proclamation aren’t fresh sirloins, rib-eyes and filets. They’re lean beef trimmings that will be added to fattier American cuts to make ground beef. They’re small chunks of frozen meat that could …More
The Second Pastoral Synod of the Archdiocese of Kraków degenerates into a 'rainbow event'. It opened in March 2026 under the leadership of Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, and the first 56-page report was produced on 19 June. A Synodal Day of Recollection has been scheduled for 10 October 2026, and the next plenary session is planned for 12–13 February 2027. Cardinal Ryś was already known for his pro-homosexual tendencies when Leo XIV promoted him Archbishop of Kraków in November 2025. At the plenary session of the Kraków Synod in June 2026, Cardinal Ryś addressed the issue of homosexuality directly: 'Sexual orientation does not exclude anyone from the Church.' The 56-page synodal report summarises proposals emerging from local consultations. On page 34, under the heading 'Radical change of language towards LGBT+', the report calls for 'safe pastoral havens'. It demands an end to portraying practicing homosexuals as a threat and calls for 'open, honest dialogue with contemporary knowledge about …More
@Boanerges Boanerges Why blame Leo? These Priests already promote it. They are not forced to do a thing they don't want to do. It's up to each Priest if they want to remain faithful to the True Faith. Or walk the road to perdition. The SSPX rather be excommunicated than to be disloyal to GOD. Or promote sin. All the Priests, Bishops, Cardinals etc all have the same choice. Either you love GOD and wish to obey Him. Or you don't. And our job is to pray for their souls. To pray they will wake up before it's too late.
Today, the Vatican announced that Leo XIV approved Archbishop Andrea Ding Yang, 44, of Chongqing, China, on 28 July and that he was consecrated a bishop today.

Posted just 8 hours ago. After 4 years of Sanctions take a look around a typical Russian supermarket in Moscow, Russia. How does a typical Russian supermarket look? What are the prices & stock really like now? If you are wondering why there are so many American products in Russia, that's because Russia buys them from other countries after buying them from us. But I see a lot of bad products being sold. Which Russia needs to look into. The Picture below he is explaining there are check out's going into the 70's!!! Did you ever see so much food? It's amazing. And Russia would be more than happy to share their wealth of food with the rest of the world as they are doing to many countries. Mostly giving it away to the poorer countries. But the West rather see their own people suffer and starve and die. Russia is always willing to do fair trading. Though they sell everything including their oil at very low prices. Not wanting to cheat anyone and trying to make everyone happy. Youtube channel …More
The West and US said there is also no oil in Russia. But Larry Johnson and The Judge along with Scott Ritter among others are actually in Russia some just left. And they say, there is no problem. In some areas it's low., but NOT out. Watched a few video's of Americans and people from other countries who actually show the gas stations and how there is no problem. Besides, Russia now has more oil they are getting from the Arctic.
SAINT PETER CLAVER - September 9 Priest (1580-1654) St. Peter Claver was a Spanish Jesuit. In Majorca, the Balearic Islands, he befriended the holy lay-brother Alphonsus Rodriguez. The latter became his spiritual guide and foretold his labors in the Indies. When St. Peter was ordained in New Granada (modern-day Colombia), he signed a final profession document with the words beside his name, "Servant of the Africans forever." He was sent to Cartagena, a slave market on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, and baptized around 300,000 souls. St. Peter learned the dialects of Angola to better preach and serve. The slaves were mistreated to the point of death during the voyage; and St. Peter brought them food and medicine knowing the limits of his human agency. He nursed some slaves back to health when they were on the brink of death. He also advocated so zealously for their human rights that they began receiving better treatment in Colombia. St. Peter acted with magnanimity in the face of injustice …More
Saint Peter Claver - September 9 breski1 SAINT PETER CLAVER Priest (1580-1654) Peter Claver was a Spanish Jesuit. In Majorca he fell in with the holy lay-brother Alphonsus Rodriguez, who, having already learned by revelation the saintly career of Peter, became his spiritual guide, foretold to him the labors he would undergo in the Indies, and the throne he would gain in heaven. Ordained priest in New Granada, Peter was sent to Cartagena, the great slave-mart of the West Indies, and there he consecrated himself by vow to the salvation of those ignorant and miserable creatures. For more than forty years he labored in this work. He called himself "the slave of the slaves." He was their apostle, father, physician, and friend. He fed them, nursed them with the utmost tenderness in their loathsome diseases, often applying his own lips to their hideous sores. His cloak, which was the constant covering of the naked, though soiled with their filthy ulcers, sent forth a miraculous perfume. His …More
