Christ was “flirting”: strange language at Leo XIV’s meeting on Amoris laetitia. At the Vatican event marking 10 years of Amoris Laetitia, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., presented a fellow Dominican’s reading of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman: “In a somewhat provocative way, but I think it is a useful provocation, he calls the first stage ‘flirt.’” “A conversation between a woman and a man who are both alone.” As Jesus gradually transforms the conversation, Alford says “the ambiguity persists.” Later, after Christ confronts the woman about her five husbands and the man she is currently with, Sr. Alford says she realizes: “This man is not just flirting.”
At the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia anniversary event, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., approvingly presented a fellow Dominican’s “provocative” description of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as beginning with a “flirt” — adding that “the ambiguity persists” before Christ confronts her with the truth.
Yes indeed. A thousand times YES. This has been going on since before Vatican II, but that council sped up and strengthened the church's self-destruction.
Suicide of a priest: Bernard Card, 73, parish priest of Sainte-Chantal Church in Dijon, France, has committed suicide (pictured left). The Diocese of Dijon announced his “tragic death,” which occurred during the night of October 4–5 at the Sainte-Chantal presbytery. Archbishop Antoine Hérouard (pictured right) described the suicide as “completely unexpected and difficult to understand.” According to reports citing his message to diocesan clergy, Rev. Card had recently been tired and had previously been deeply affected by the suicide of his brother. Ordained in 1981, Rev. Card served the Diocese of Dijon for more than four decades and had been parish priest of Sainte-Chantal since 2019. Despite the suicide, he will be buried at Sainte-Chantal on October 13. His death comes less than two years after another priest of the Diocese of Dijon, Rev. Claude-Marie Millet, also committed suicide. #newsAywayqmkjl
Devotion to the Holy Rosary: a weapon for the counter-revolutionary to persevere, to sanctify oneself, and to defeat heresies by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira February 12th 1964 Our Lady of Las Lajas (Colombia) As we all know, one great value of devotion to the Rosary is that it was revealed by Our Lady to Saint Dominic as a means for reviving the Faith in regions heavily devastated by the Albigensian heresy. Indeed, the general practice of the Rosary revived Faith. With this the Rosary came to be, in epochs when there was true faith in the world, one of the classic Catholic devotions. This was to such a point that not only were images of Our Lady spread throughout the world, but also the practice of this devotion became common among the faithful. Moreover, the rosary hanging from the waist became an official part of the habits of many religious orders. Among a thousand things that can be said in this respect, I would like to emphasize exactly this connection between the origin of the Rosary …More
Happy Feast day to Our Lady of Victory. Now known as Our Lady of The Most Holy Rosary. Our Lady of Victory Please pray for us. Link to a short story. Pope Pius V was the first to give the Blessed Mother the title of “Our Lady of Victory,” instituting devotion to her after Christian forces defeated the Ottomans at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. In 1629, France’s King Louis XIII honored Mary as “Our Lady of Victories,” dedicating a church in Paris in thanks for his own military successes. By 1837, the church, then a basilica, was the site for the Archconfraternity for the Conversion of Sinners. A special group of American visitors stopped there in 1851.

Vendée: About 10 minors, the oldest just 14, are implicated in the profanation of Saint-Hilaire church in Soullans. They filmed themselves inside, some climbing on the altar, while playing rap referencing Mohamed Merah, Salah Abdeslam and the Bataclan. Objects were overturned and pews showed burn marks. Their parents brought the children to the gendarmerie. Prosecutors opened an investigation for glorifying terrorism. The town filed a complaint. The church is closed pending a Eucharist of reparation on October 12.
Vendée : après la profanation de l’église Saint-Hilaire, les parents ont eux-mêmes conduit leurs enfants à la gendarmerie
Io direi -avendo conosciuto direttamente Parigi per anni, 35 anni fa circa- : il Francese medio considera ovvia la leadership mondiale del Materialismo massonico. Però non vive nel culto della Triade Lib/Egal/Frat , né nel culto dei "Grandi Uomini". Pensa che Cristo abbia dato tanto alla Francia, ma sia rimasto "vincolato a un Sistema ormai superato". ----------- Si tratta, se vogliamo, di un Radicalismo di massa (come quello di cui parlava A. Del Noce per il futuro prossimo dell'Italia). A cui la Chiesa NON SI OPPONE NE' si è opposta. ----------- Ben diversa, per grazia di Dio, l'impostazione culturale e spirituale di André Frossard, (1915-1995), di cui leggevo con gioia i brevi articoli di giornale Cavalier seul. "... His grandmother was Jewish, his mother a Lutheran Protestant, his father, Ludovic-Oscar Frossard, an official atheist who was first secretary of the Communist Party and later a socialist minister."

Bishops: this is the Proven Solution Editor’s note: under the new pontificate of Pope Leo, we will publish this monthly reminder of the proven, time-tested method to end heresy and the responsibility of every bishop for this, the “greatest act of charity.” onepeterfive | Back in 2023, all orthodox Catholics of good will heard the news of His Excellency, Bishop Paprocki’s condemnation of heresy in one of the most prominent American journals, First Things. This was ostensibly a condemnation of Cardinal McElroy’s brazen challenge to Catholic moral theology in two pieces (here and here) at America—a connection underlined by Bishop Paprocki’s quoting verbatim from the cardinal’s first article. Nevertheless, His Excellency did say shortly thereafter (on Raymond Arroyo) that he did not want to name names, but had European cardinals also in mind. Masculine Courage Faithful Catholics compare today’s bishops with the saintly bishops of old and they find the former woefully lacking in manly …More
“If there’s a bad Novus Ordo Mass, you can’t improve those priests, I’m afraid. So just go anywhere else,” Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Robert Mutsaerts told LifeSite. “I used to think, ‘Support your own parish.’ I’m not saying that anymore … because you might lose your faith there. Go somewhere where you think, ‘This is right, this is authentic, this is true.’” And especially for families: “If you have children or youngsters, go where they’ll meet other young people … at places where they find the sacred, where the liturgy is in order. You need some encouragement. You don’t get it if you’re 18 and all the rest are 80.”
Lo facciamo abitualmente, mia moglie e io, da anni. In particolare la "gestione sanitaria/globalistica COVID" ci ha spinti fortemente a "Qualcosa di pulito e di normale". Spesso trovato - Deo gratias !!
The Catholic Church must find new ways to be close to families, even when they encounter problems. That is what Pope Leo XIV said on Wednesday during an international meeting in the Vatican.
Leo XIV on Amoris Laetitia: “In many contexts, a growing distance has emerged between the way sex and intimacy are experienced and the Christian vision of marriage.” “And whether we can recognize the work of grace even in situations marked by limitations, wounds, and apparent failure.”
Isra was killed while making a doll from clay. Just 24 hours later, her mother followed her. On September 1, 2026, little Isra Al-Hassi was inside her family’s tent east of Deir al-Balah, sitting beside her mother, Umm Islam, playing with colored clay and shaping her favorite doll. Suddenly, Israeli gunfire tore through the tent, killing Isra instantly and critically wounding her mother. Isra had come after 17 years of waiting. Her mother could not survive losing her. The following day, September 2, Umm Islam died from her injuries. A little girl shaped a doll from clay; a mother shaped 17 years of waiting into a dream named Isra. Then they left together. theAxisofTruth

BREAKING! According to hearsay, the Mostar bishops Žanič and Perič were allegedly "victims of slander"—a claim reported by some websites based solely on assertions made to serve a specific agenda. This stirred-up "Medjugorje controversy," propagated by numerous opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions, reeks of malicious intent—or even a coordinated campaign. Yet, the opponents of the Queen of Peace apparitions have "forgotten"—or simply refuse to see—and are sweeping under the rug the objective, accessible facts regarding the very matters they claim to "refute" through mere hearsay.

If it is not Charity, it does not belong to Jesus: 1 John 4:8; Whoever does not love has not known God, because God is Love. Ezekiel 18:32; “I take no pleasure in the death of ANYONE, no matter who they are,” declares the Lord God. “Repent and live.” 1) The Gravity of failing to correct. a) Ezekiel 3:18-19; When I say to the wicked, “You will die,” if you do not warn him—if you do not speak up to warn the wicked to turn from his wicked ways so that he may live—he, the wicked one, will die for his own sin, but I will hold you accountable for his blood. If, on the other hand, you warn the wicked person and he does not turn from his wickedness and his evil ways, he will die for his own sin, but you will have saved your own life. b) Hosea 4:6; My people perish for lack of knowledge. 2. The correct attitude is to DENOUNCE the sin of the people, as the Prophets did, and to rebuke them as Saint Michael the Archangel did, without passing slanderous judgment or deciding the final destiny of souls. …More
Jeśli nie jest to miłość bliźniego, nie pochodzi od Jezusa: 1 List św. Jana 4:8; Kto nie miłuje, nie poznał Boga, ponieważ Bóg jest miłością. Ezechiel 18:32; „Nie mam upodobania w śmierci nikogo, bez względu na to, kim jest” – mówi Pan Bóg. „Nawróćcie się i żyjcie”. 1) Powaga zaniedbania napomnienia. a) Ezechiel 3:18-19; Gdy powiem bezbożnemu: „Umrzesz”, a ty go nie ostrzeżesz – jeśli nie zabierzesz głosu, by ostrzec bezbożnego, aby odwrócił się od swoich bezbożnych dróg, aby mógł żyć – on, ten bezbożny, umrze za swój grzech, ale ciebie pociągnę do odpowiedzialności za jego krew. Jeśli natomiast ostrzeżesz bezbożnego, a on nie odwróci się od swojej niegodziwości i złych dróg, umrze za swój grzech, ale ty ocalisz swoje życie. b) Ozeasz 4:6; Mój lud ginie z powodu braku wiedzy. 2. Właściwą postawą jest POTĘPIANIE grzechu ludzi, tak jak czynili to prorocy, oraz upominanie ich, tak jak uczynił to święty Michał Archanioł, bez wydawania oszczerczych wyroków ani rozstrzygania o ostatecznym …More
