The Dead End to Trump’s ‘Perfect’ War July 25, 2026 nytimes.com/…nion/trump-iran-saudi-arabia-war-nuc… By Nicholas Kristof Opinion Columnist “We won,” President Trump announced on March 11, less than two weeks into his Iran war. “In the first hour, it was over.” On March 24, in the Oval Office, he reiterated, “This war has been won.” On April 6, he asserted, “They are militarily defeated.” On April 11, Trump posted on Truth Social, “The United States has completely destroyed Iran’s Military.” “The war in Iran is going along swimmingly,” Trump said on April 16. “It’s perfect.” The perfection of Trump’s war has confused some of his supporters. “I don’t understand how it’s possible that Iran has the capabilities to fight this way and continue to try to lash out at Gulf countries and U.S. military bases,” Maria Bartiromo of Fox News said on air recently. “Because the U.S. has obliterated Iran’s military, and the president continues to reiterate that.” Yet Trump’s perfect war seems …More
A beautiful lie... When you mix the truth with something that you wanted to be true but it's not, you get a beautiful lie. True, the Catholic Church has the fullness of the truth, false the other religions had the truth (Jewish), but rejected its peak in Christ, the other "religions" if we ever want to call something that push stray as one, all of them with NO exception calls Jesus a prophet but won’t adhere to His teachings, therefore they are false. A beautiful lie does nothing but to numb or disarm your spiritual defenses so you could become food for hell, the silly... but "refreshing idea", that all religions could join hand in hand, even with "atheists who do good", is not just a sugar high or sort of Woodstock moment, it is a delivertly crafted manuver from hell to ruin souls. There is NO doubt whatsoever that Divine Mercy CAN be given to souls who never have heard the gospel, souls who have lived their lives doing their very best to honor Almighty Father, as it is stated that …More

@Jeffrey Ade, my friends are Saints, Angels and good Catholics. I am very simple with that question. Friend is an very expensive word with a tremendous important meaning. Even more than own familie members. Our Lord said to us: " Majorem hac dilectionem nemo habet, ut animam suam ponat qui pro amicis suis." (Ioan 15,13) So, who would lay down his life for his friend, and not for his brother or uncle who would lay down his life.
These miserable people can't win on the battlefield so they attack children and civilians. How much more can Russia and Putin take? I think people should thank GOD for giving the world a man like President Putin who tries to avoid an outright WW.
“The enemy knew exactly who they were targeting and deliberately struck civilians,” Balitsky said in a statement on Max. “This is a blatant crime..." Why does anyone support governments that commit war crimes?!
Munich Liturgical Controversy Goes Around the Globe: Many Catholic media outlets across the globe - in English, French, Polish, Spanish, Italian, etc. - are reporting on the latest liturgical abuse from the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The case centers on a Mass for the feast of St. Mary Magdalene, where Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof delivered a "dialogue homily" together with laywoman Theresia Reischl, despite the Holy See's recent reaffirmation that the homily during Mass is reserved to an ordained minister. The celebration also featured liturgical dancing and balloons, further fueling criticism.
Why God Sometimes Allows Spiritual Darkness During times of spiritual difficulty and purification, it may feel like God has abandoned us, but this is not the case. God allows us to experience these feelings to purify us of selfishness and strengthen our virtues. Like Mother Teresa, we should focus on loving and serving others, even when we don’t feel God’s presence, because He is always with us, guiding us towards sainthood. The journey to holiness involves four stages: the active and passive nights of the senses, and the active and passive nights of the spirit. While we can actively pursue virtues like humility, true perfection requires God’s transformative work through trials and darkness. These experiences, though painful, are ultimately rewards that purify us and deepen our charity, the foundation of all virtues. Fr.

Today, Fr Michael Mary, superior of the sedevacantist Transalpine Redemptorists in Scotland, will be consecrated as an alleged bishop. Katholisch.de traced the long and tangled succession lines of schismatic bishops, focusing primarily on the lines of Marcel Lefebvre (1905-1991) and Pierre Martin Ngô Đình Thục (1897–1984). Here are the key points:. Lefebvre line (FSSPX) Among the different splinter groups, only the SSPX has significant size. In 1988, Lefebvre consecrated Alfonso de Galarreta, Bernard Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, and Richard Williamson as bishops. All four later consecrated additional bishops. In 1991, Tissier de Mallerais consecrated Licínio Rangel for the Priestly Union of St. John Mary Vianney, Brazil. Rangel and his community reconciled with Rome in 2002 and became an Apostolic Personal Administration. The same year Fernando Arêas Rifan became Rangel's coadjutor, but he was consecrated by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, with Rangel serving only as co-…More
I used to wonder how the consecration requested by Our Lady of Fatima, in unison with all the Bishops of the world could ever take place since bishops are all over the place with their beliefs. Then I realized as these bishops ascend to heresy, they are no longer bishops so it may end up being some sede, bishops, SSPX and a few good sons of the church left in the NO. There is the manageable number.
Unfortunately, it seems "most" Ukrainians know what's going on. And the Russians know all to well what's going on and who's behind it all. Both want to destroy nazism in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people wrote to Putin to destroy their conscription offices. and Russia obliged them. They wrote to President Putin since before 2014 to come and save them. But President Putin is extremely wise and knew what the west was looking for. But in 2014, he had enough. Broken hearted that so many people and mostly children were dying. So he finally stepped in and trying to be very careful not to provoke the west. But it doesn't take much to provoke them and give them a reason to attack Russia and to help the nazi government of Ukraine. In the end, Russia will be victorious in many ways. Let them try to destroy Russia. GOD has great plans for her and no evil man or otherwise can stop it.
"Finally, we should be united to God’s will in regard to the time and manner of our death. One day St. Gertrude, while climbing up a small hill, lost her footing and fell into a ravine below. After her companions had come to her assistance, they asked her if while falling she had any fear of dying without the sacraments. “I earnestly hope and desire to have the benefit of the sacraments when death is at hand; still, to my way of thinking, the will of God is more important. I believe that the best disposition I could have to die a happy death would be to submit myself to whatever God would wish in my regard. For this reason I desire whatever kind of death God will be pleased to send me.”
[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII-XVIII Century AD; born: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/died: Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); Bishop; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian; Founder; Doctor of the Church] What has been said of dryness holds true of temptations also. Certainly we should strive to avoid temptations; but if God wishes that we be tempted against faith, purity, or any other virtue, we should not give in to discouraging lamentations, but submit ourselves with resignation to God’s holy will. St. Paul asked to be freed from temptations to impurity and our Lord answered him, saying: “My grace is sufficient for you.” So should we act when we find ourselves victims of unrelenting temptations and God seemingly deaf to our prayers. Let us then say: “Lord, do with me, let happen to me what thou will; your grace is sufficient for me. Only never let me lose this grace.” Consent to temptation, not temptation of …More

What better death could we have to fulfill that last sentence. (turned out to be a hoax anyway)
