– Folha de S. Paulo, November 20, 1968 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira During my visit to Rome in 1962, I sensed a mood of open optimism among influential and high-ranking circles about events beyond the Iron Curtain. The main reasons for this optimism were the start of the “softening” of the communist regime taking hold in Russia and Wladislaw Gomulka’s actions in Poland, which were seen as original, astute, and patriotic. In my previous article, I discussed the key features of Russia’s communist “softening” (political disintegration of the bloc of nations under Russian control, decentralization of large administrative structures within Russia, “restoration” of capitalism and property, etc.), which was widely promoted by Soviet propaganda. I also outlined the significant — if not monstrous — benefits that communists have gained from this on the international stage. This week’s telegraphic news prompts me to comment on Władysław Gomulka. To understand this communist leader’s …More
Tue Jun 30, 2026 - 2:20 pm EDTTue Jun 30, 2026 - 3:04 pm EDT CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (LifeSiteNews) – A roomful of Texas Democrats chanted “we’re all going to hell” in solidarity with left-wing US Senate nominee James Talarico, in a moment ostensibly meant to express defiance of recent criticism he received but which critics would argue is more fitting than the party intended. Democrats initially framed Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian and current Texas state representative, as a mainstream figure and rising political talent capable of appealing across partisan lines due in part to his ostensible faith background, which was swiftly quashed not only by his strident left-wing stances on abortion, sexuality, and more, but by claiming Christianity endorses them. LifeSiteNews reported earlier this month that, while addressing the Republican Party of Texas’s 2026 State Convention on June 12, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick gave Talarico a grave warning: “I’ve never seen so much blasphemy from anyone …
July is traditionally the month of devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. In this article, you can read a short history of the devotion, read the prayer in Latin and watch a pronunciation video. History Prayer in Latin Latin pronunciation video Prayer in English The month of the Precious Blood of Jesus beautifully flows forth from the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As the side of Christ was pierced with a lance, out gushed blood and water, from which (as the early Fathers say) came the birth of the Church and the Holy Sacraments. Indeed, it is also by the shedding of the Spotless Lamb’s Blood that our sins are forgiven and our redemption purchased. Every single drop of the Precious Blood contains in It the entirety of the Life and Love of God; His very Self is fully contained in a single droplet from the Precious Chalice. (SOURCE) History of the devotion The devotion to the Precious Blood began in Spain, then spread to Italy and was celebrated as a feast day from the time …
Burning Crosses at a Polish Festival: On 26 June, during the Bangarang heavy metal festival in Chwałkowo, Poland, a stage performance included the burning of wooden crosses. A firefighter stood by for fire safety. Local politicians and officials condemned the act as blasphemous and disrespectful of religious feeling.
Płonące krzyże na satanistycznym festiwalu Na festiwalu "Bangarang" w Chwałkowie który odbył się w miniony weekend doszło do skandalicznego wydarzenia i znieważenia chrześcijańskiego symbolu religijnego. Został spalony Krzyż. Pytanie dlaczego nikt o tym nie piszę i nie mówi? Impreza dofinansowana przez lokalne samorządy, promowana głośno w mediach.. ogromny skandal na skalę Polski, a tutaj cisza Chodzi o festiwal Bangarang7, który odbył się w miniony weekend w Chwałkowie. To wydarzenie od kilku lat przyciąga fanów metalu, punka, rocka i hardcore’u. Festiwal organizuje Stowarzyszenie „Dżentelmeni Metalu”, które z pola kukurydzy stworzyło miejsce rozpoznawalne w środowisku miłośników ciężkiego grania.
A firefighter stood by for fire safety. Local politicians and officials condemned the act as blasphemous and disrespectful of religious feeling. And yet it was still allowed. Even with a firefighter to make sure it doesn't get out of control. Their only real concern. A lot of people get away with this sort of thing in Poland like Blaspheming against Catholics and GOD. Very few are even fined. Then below we have this mess in Poland. No wonder they don't stop burning of crosses and filthy plays. You will never see this in Russia! It's a crime, and a serious crime to attack any religion in Russia. They won't pretend to be outraged. THEY WILL BE! And off to jail you go! Freedom of religion is one thing they take very seriously. They got caught in their own laws trying to ban freemasons. But working on how to change it without hurting others. That will be one huge challenge they have on their hands. Thankfully there isn't many at all. About 1.000 +. This is why many hate Russia. She destroys …More
Vatican drapes with Carpet of Flowers for Princes of Apostles | Shalom World News The road leading to St. Peter's Square was transformed into a colourful carpet of floral art on Sunday as Rome marked the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, hailed as the princes of the Apostles. Known as the Infiorata Storica, the annual tradition saw artisans and volunteers from across Italy create large religious images using flower petals, colored sand, wood shavings and other natural materials. The intricate designs, completed overnight along Via della Conciliazione, welcomed thousands of pilgrims making their way to the Vatican for the feast. The tradition dates back to 1625, when Vatican florist Benedetto Drei first decorated the entrance to St. Peter's Basilica with floral mosaics. Though it faded for centuries, the Infiorata was revived in 2011 and has since become a highlight of the city's celebration of its patron saints.
"This is the rotten comedy of the age." Occult mockery at its finest! And to say," They refuse certain fundamental elements of the Church, beginning with several points of the Second Vatican Council." Is an outright lie! And also the writer says, " The SSPX profession says exactly that." I didn't read that in the profession so I think the writer is way off base making that assertion. V2 isn't the problem or nexus. It is the errors of Russia, and Archbishop Lefebvre knew that!
A Sacred Communion: New Archbishops Receive Pallium from Pope | Shalom World News On the Solemnity of the Apostles, Saints Peter and Paul, Pope Leo XIV celebrated a solemn Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. During the Mass, the Holy Father blessed the Sacred Pallium and imposed them on the newly appointed Archbishops. The Pallium, sacred woolen vestment adorned with crosses, is one of the Church's most profound signs of communion between the Pope and the Archbishops of the universal Church.

Cardinal Fabio Baggio, currently Under-Secretary of the Dicastery, has been appointed Pro-Prefect, with special responsibility for the Laudato si’ Higher Education Center. Monsignor Jozef Barlaš, currently Under-Secretary of the Dicastery, has been appointed Secretary of the Dicastery. The Personification of the Francis Agenda Sister Smerilli is a Francis-era appointee through and through. She uses all the Francis buzzwords new economy, integral ecology, climate justice, migrants, social justice, “Economy of Francesco”. Francis named her interim secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development in 2021, making her the highest ranking woman in the Roman Curia at the time. Before, she was in charge of the Vatican's COVID-19 economic recovery commission. "Change Rules That Only Priests Can Do Certain Things" …More

In what he calls his last video from this small office, Fr. Mark Goring, CC reflects on his priestly calling and the duty to preach the Gospel. He shares the simple technical method he has used for years and marvels at how it became a powerful worldwide tool of evangelization. Quoting 1 Corinthians 9:16 “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” It is a moving farewell from this setting. youtube.com/watch?is=FF3_C2uOZ5mZDZ3U&v=6D-OOokbn…
The Roman rite is "not an attack on the unity of the Church," Cardinal François-Xavier Bustillo, 57, of Ajaccio, France, told Italian daily Il Giornale on June 29. "The Church also has the Eastern rites, and even in the West we have many rites: I am thinking of the Ambrosian Rite, the Mozarabic Rite, or the Spanish Rite," the Spanish-born cardinal added. In his view, the difficulty arises only when "the search for greater radicality turns into rigidity". However, Cardinal Bustillo opposes the reversion of Traditionis Custodes. It would be "dangerous," he said, "to send the message that Francis was wrong and that Leo XIV is here to solve the problem." He believes Leo XIV "will give a response that is fair and well-calibrated." On the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, he spoke of "a painful rupture for the Church." He lamented that any new break would come little more than a year into a pontificate centered on the words [!] "peace" and "unity." Picture: …More
Why You Can’t Forgive Yourself After Confession: Greg on Defeating a Fear-Based Faith "I went to Confession, but I wouldn't allow Greg to forgive Greg." Author and producer Greg opens up about swinging for the fences in his vulnerable new spiritual memoir. Why do so many of us leave the Confessional box still carrying the heavy weight of shame? A familiar friend in the CatholicTV living room, Greg joins the show to share the providential blueprint behind his new book, God Doesn’t Hate Me After All.

Greg shares a profound "wow" moment from his own prayer life, recounting the exact words he felt the Holy Spirit speak to him when he asked why he still felt dirty after absolution.

The State of Affairs at L'Osservatore Romano: During today's Angelus, Pope Leo XIV greeted homeless people present in St Peter's Square who were distributing L'Osservatore di strada, a supplement of L'Osservatore Romano. According to Silere non possum, Andrea Monda, editor-in-chief of L'Osservatore Romano, requested that a greeting to the distributors be included in the Pope's prepared text. Monda attended the Angelus in St Peter's Square. SilereNonPossum.com adds that Monda does not usually go to the office even on days when he is expected to be there, that public interest in L'Osservatore di strada is "non-existent," and that Monda is personally responsible for the costly project out of an "obsession."
Angelus: Pope Leo Reads, Andrea Monda Gets the … Among the greetings drafted by the Prefecture of the Papal Household for the Pope was one addressed to the homeless people present in St Peter’s Square to distribute L’Osservatore di strada, a supplement to L’Osservatore Romano. Naturally, the request came from Andrea Monda himself. A man who does not usually go to the office even on the days when he is expected to be there was hardly likely to spend a Sunday in St Peter’s Square beneath the scorching Roman sun of recent days. But having secured confirmation from the Prefecture that the short passage had been inserted into the text prepared for the Pope, Monda could not miss the occasion. He had to be there, he had to be seen, he had to make his presence visible at the very moment Leo XIV spoke about the costly paper. And so there he was in St Peter’s Square, beside a banner that had cost hundreds of euros, waving his arms about in his embarrassing braces to greet the Pope, who, puzzled …More
Saint Otto of Bamberg | The Apostle of Pomerania | Feast Day June 30th Today we remember Otto of Bamberg, whose feast day is celebrated on June 30. Born around 1060 in **Germany, Otto became Bishop of Bamberg in 1102. Although he was known as a capable bishop and trusted adviser to both the Church and civil leaders, Otto is most remembered for his missionary work. At the request of the Church, he travelled to Pomerania, where many people had not yet embraced Christianity. Rather than forcing conversions, Otto patiently shared the Gospel through: Charity and kindness Faithful preaching Respect for local communities Building churches and strengthening Christian life His gentle approach led thousands of people to embrace the Christian faith. Because of his extraordinary missionary success, he became known as the "Apostle of Pomerania." He also served as a papal legate, representing the Holy See in important missions, and remained Bishop of Bamberg until his death in 1139…More
