US Bishop bans St. Michael prayer after Mass. Bishop Mark Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has directed priests to discontinue the communal recitation of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel immediately before or after Mass. In his October 16 article, he claims that in order to celebrate the liturgy “in accordance with the mind of the Church” priests need to “catechize the people of God as we move away from additional prayers recited together immediately before, during, and immediately after Mass.” Additional prayers - including those to St. Michael, St. Francis, and the Holy Spirit - should not become regular additions to the celebration of Mass. He cited the Second Vatican Council's call for a liturgy marked by “noble simplicity.” #newsIisjgbwbuz
But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always. 3But they that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity. 4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be manifold.
17.10.2026 THE LIONEL ANDRADES METHOD: A DIFFERENT WAY OF READING VATICAN COUNCIL II We now have a different way of reading Vatican Council II. This is a discovery. To understand the Lionel Andrades Apologetics, 1) it is important to make the invisible –visible distinction. 2) We then use this method, as a tool to interpret the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms. We find that there are two different conclusions. Liberals and traditionalists we notice were making the same mistake. Also the popes over the centuries were rational but today they are not. So we have what Lionel calls The Rational Approach and the Irrational Approach, or, Feeneyism or Cushingism. The popes in the Middle Ages were Feeneyite but Pope Leo is a Cushingite. He is irrational on the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms - and it shows. The error is there in public. Ask A.I on Google for a time line on Lionel Andrades with reference to Vatican Council II, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the baptism of desire, the dogma …Kara

Leo XIV-appointed Spanish Bishop José Antonio Satué sent a supportive message to the 15th gathering of homosexual Christians in Chipiona, Spain, on October 9–11: “You have much to contribute to the Church.” Leo XIV appointed Satué Bishop of Málaga in June 2025 despite his public record as homosexualist. Satué described homosex "blessings" as “a step forward”. The homosex gathering, organized by PADIS Canarias (Pastoral para la Diversidad Sexual en Canarias), attracted just over 100 participants. Monsignor Satué wrote them that everyone deserves to be heard, welcomed, and treated with dignity. He claimed that homosexuals suffered within the Church and urged that it not be trivialized. At the meeting, participants agreed to establish a nationwide network of homosexual Christian groups, extending into Portugal. They also intend to prepare a document outlining their proposals for bishops, possibly by the end of 2026. They called for pastoral ministry developed “with” homosexuals rather than …Kara
God’s Servants Feast: October 17 John the Dwarf John the Dwarf is best known for his obedience. The most famous story about his obedience is that one day Saint Pambo gave Abba John a piece of dry wood and ordered him to plant and water it. John obeyed and went on watering it twice a day even though the water was about 12 miles from where they lived. After three years, the piece of wood sprouted and grew into a fruitful tree. Pambo took some of this tree's fruits and went around to all the elder monks, saying "take, eat from the fruit of obedience". Postumian, who was in Egypt in 402, assured that he was shown this tree which grew in the yard of the monastery and which he saw covered with shoots and green leaves. Ababius was a monk of Scetes and is a saint of the Coptic Church. He is the subject of a long biography attributed in manuscript form to John the Dwarf. The manuscript has yet to be translated into English.

Does Leo XIV use archdioceses as dumping grounds for unwanted Vatican officials? Italian priest Filippo Di Giacomo criticises the appointment of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti as Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto. Chieti-Vasto is a historically significant episcopal see in central and southern Italy. Di Giacomo suggests that Leo XIV instrumentalised the Archdiocese to get Gambetti out of the Roman Curia. Di Giacomo also reports an unconfirmed claim that Gambetti accepted the transfer only after being promised an auxiliary bishop. Gambetti reportedly intends to retain other “commitments”. If true, the archdiocese could end up with an archbishop whose attention is elsewhere. Di Giacomo warns that the same misfortune may await the Archdiocese of Pescara-Penne, with the likely arrival of another “castoff from the Roman Curia.”

Pope Leo XIV leaves Rome hospital after surgery for lung tumour Pope Leo XIV leaves a Rome hospital where he has been recovering from lung cancer surgery after doctors deemed him "fit for discharge", the Vatican says.

The Quiet Revolution Undermining Catholic Tradition | A Bishop Speaks remnantnewspaper | By: Bishop Rob Mutsaerts The Church's most dangerous revolution is the one that never admits it is happening. Bishop Rob Mutsaerts exposes how pastoral ambiguity, progressive reforms, and local experiments erode Catholic teaching while claiming to leave doctrine untouched. The Deceptive Tactics of the Quiet Revolution Over the course of two thousand years, the Catholic Church has endured just about everything that can happen to an institution: bad popes, corrupt bishops, heresies, schisms, revolutions, persecutions, decadent monasteries, dissolute clergy, and theologians so determined to be original that, in the end, they were the only ones who still understood what they meant. And yet the Church is still here. Not because Catholics have always been sensible. That would be a rather daring historical hypothesis. The Church survived because, time and again, one remarkable phenomenon occurred: once the …Kara
The Vatican is controlled by heretics. Heretic Pope Leo XIV approved 'A Path To Hope'. It goes against Catholic dogma. It walks lock-step with Noahide laws that the globalists want to push on non-Jews. TL;DR: Pope Leo/Prevost, like Pope Francis/Bergoglio, wants to empty Catholic churches to appease the globalists.
Hosea the Prophet | God's Faithful Love Never Gives Up | Feast Day October 17th Today we remember Hosea, whose feast is traditionally observed on October 17th in the Roman Martyrology. Hosea lived during the eighth century BC in the northern kingdom of Israel. God called him to deliver a powerful message to His people. Through Hosea's own family life, the Lord revealed how deeply He loves His people, even when they turn away from Him. Again and again, Hosea proclaimed that God desires: Mercy over sacrifice Repentance instead of stubbornness Faithfulness rather than empty religious practices His prophecy reminds us that God's covenant love never fails. Even when His people are unfaithful, He continues to invite them back with compassion and forgiveness. Hosea became known for: Courageous prophecy Proclaiming God's faithful love Calling people to repentance Trust in God's mercy His message points forward to Jesus Christ, who came to reconcile humanity with the Father …Kara
Hosea - Gedenktag katholisch: 17. Oktober 4. Juli auch: Oseas, ‘Ozya Prophet † 725 v. Chr. in Israel Hosea, ein gebildeter Mann, war wohl Beamter am Königshof in Samaria - dem heutigen Shomron / as-Samarah in Palästina -, verheiratet mit einer unzüchtigen Frau (Hosea 1), wohl einer Tempelhure; als symbolischer Akt sollte dies auf die sittlichen Verfehlungen des Volkes hinweisen. Rund dreißig Jahre lang wirkte er ab 725 als Prophet zunächst im Nordreich Israel und kritisierte die kultischen Verfehlungen - insbesondere den Einfluss kanaanitischer Religion - und die Machtpolitik der Könige. Nach dem Fall des Nordreichs wirkte er im Südreich in Jerusalem. Am Ende heiratete er noch einmal, diesmal als Symbol der verheißenen Heilszeit (Hosea 3). Die Grundzüge des nach ihm benannten alttestamentlichen Prophetenbuches hat Hosea wohl selbst niedergeschrieben. Das wissenschaftliche Bibellexikon im Internet bietet in seinem Artikel über Hosea und das Hoseabuch ausführliche und fundierte …Kara
The surgeon who operated on Leo XIV, Prof. Stefano Margaritora, sees no medical reason to cancel the November trip to South America. He explained that the lung cancer was discovered “entirely by chance” during routine abdominal examinations. A small spot appeared at the base of the lung. Had it been slightly higher, he said, it would have gone unnoticed. The Pope had no symptoms. Margaritora also recounted finding Leo XIV rearranging chairs in the hospital chapel just two days after surgery. When staff offered to do it for him, the Pope reportedly replied: “It doesn't matter. I can do it, so I do it.” The surgeon expects a rapid recovery.
I see that he doesn't make the Sign of the Cross as a blessing, but just waves to everyone and now and then touches his breast. He acts as though he's just a public figure, a celebrity.

In a speech given on Oct. 7, Vatican interreligious dicastery head Cardinal George Koovakad attacked "integrists". And: The 1986 Assisi interreligious prayer meeting, "becomes part of the ordinary teaching of the Magisterium. It is no longer merely an event to be remembered: It is a criterion through which to interpret the present."
Catholic criticism of the 1986 Assisi meeting is "schismatic", and this interreligious prayer meeting is part of the "ordinary magisterium". These remarks were made by Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad in a speech on 7 October at the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome. He is the Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue. Cardinal Koovakad recalled that, in 1986, 160 religious leaders gathered “to pray: each faithful to his own tradition, all before the Mystery”. Despite the presence of a Buddha statue on the altar and photographic evidence, Cardinal Koovakad insisted that “the encounter had been conceived and experienced without a shadow of syncretism.” He added that “not everyone understood it”: “Integrist circles contested the day, even making it one of the reasons for a schismatic rupture, while others feared syncretism or relativism, as they still do today.” Cardinal Koovakad paraphrased Leo XIV's encyclical 'Magnificent Humanity', saying that “the 'spirit of …Kara
Leo XIV will be discharged from hospital this afternoon, earlier than initially planned. Pope Leo XIV will be discharged from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital early Saturday afternoon following surgery for lung cancer. Doctors Luigi Carbone and Stefano Margaritora declared the Pope fit for discharge after reviewing blood tests, a chest X-ray and his overall clinical condition. According to the Holy See Press Office, he will return to the Vatican later today and recite the Angelus on Sunday from the window of the papal apartment.

Dropping MOAB on Iran would invite all-out retaliation across the Gulf – academic Iran’s retaliation to the US dropping the "Mother of all bombs" (MOAB) on it would be aimed at any US-linked targets in the region, Prof. Mohammad Marandi, former adviser to the Iranian nuclear negotiations team, said on Judge Napolitano’s podcast. “It goes beyond just oil and gas infrastructure, it means everything that is somehow linked to the United States, whether it’s data centers or banks or anything that is of any value,” he elaborated. Marandi also pointed out that the US previously dropped a MOAB on Afghanistan, but it did not help them win the war there. geopolitics_prime
