Jerome, give me your sins! September 30 – Memorial of Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church Jerome was of a cantankerous, uncompromising, and argumentative temperament. In his debates with other scholars or when criticizing the hypocrisy of the Roman clergy, he often used words that were sharp, aggressive, and offensive. He never denied his difficult character, yet he spent his entire life engaged in a relentless spiritual and physical struggle to curb his anger. He himself described his wrath as a constant "enemy." To combat his outbursts and tame his temper, Jerome turned to four main remedies: 1 Intense and ceaseless study. 2 Harsh physical discipline: he would withdraw into solitude and literally beat his chest with a stone. 3 Constant prayer, tears, and fasting. In his letters, Jerome admitted to spending entire nights weeping, fasting, and crying out to God for mercy immediately after succumbing to a fit of anger. 4 Desert solitude. Whenever he realized that social life in …Zaidi

Leo XIV Appoints Bishop Who Celebrates Jewish Passover with Seminarians. Pope Leo XIV today appointed Bishop Ramón Salazar Estrada, 63, until now auxiliary bishop of Guadalajara, as the new Bishop of Mazatlán, Mexico. Salazar was ordained a priest in 1993 for the Archdiocese of Guadalajara. He holds a doctorate in moral theology from the Alphonsian Academy in Rome. Allegations of Homosexual activity at the seminary In the Archdiocese of Guadalajara there is an anonymous church watchblog, GdlSantaIPecadora.blogspot.com. According to this source the seminary was suffering in 2012 from “delicate cases of homosexuality”, alongside alcoholism. In May 2014 the blog alleged an internal network of seminarians arranging homosexual encounters by phone, connections with priests outside the seminary, and protection or tolerance by some formators. It also claimed that at least seven seminarians had been dismissed after accusations concerning homosexuality. Salazar was already closely involved in …Zaidi
The heresy of VII ecumenism has led their adherents to the Great Apostasy—that is, to the Great Rebellion against the Most Holy Trinity. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) “It is absurd for a heretic to say that he believes in Jesus Christ. To believe in a person is to give our full consent to his word and to all he teaches. True faith, therefore, is absolute belief in Jesus Christ and in all He taught. Hence, he who does not adhere to everything Jesus Christ has prescribed for our salvation does not have any more of the Doctrine of Jesus Christ than the pagans, Jews and Mohammedans.”
Being Catholic is not defined by what Gloria.tv says, but by what the Church says. Many Gloria.tv users have set up their own church or joined parallel churches, such as El Palmar de Troya in my country. That is not being Catholic. I suppose that for Irishpool and other users, any sect like El Palmar counts as Catholic because "they adhere to all the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church."

Wounded Polish Priest Returns to Mass After Deadly Abbey Attack, Preaches Forgiveness | SG News Two days after a deadly knife attack at the Benedictine Abbey in Jarosław, Poland, the monastery reopened its doors to the faithful — and one of the priests wounded in the violence returned to the altar with a message of forgiveness. Father Adrian Mantykiewicz, still bearing visible bruises and bandages on his head and hand, celebrated Holy Mass on September 26 following the September 24 attack. Father Stanislaw Zbojniewicz died from injuries sustained in the assault, while Father Marek Pienkowski remained in serious condition in hospital. Four people were injured in total. Police arrested a 31-year-old Ukrainian man, identified by prosecutors as Ihor M., who was charged with murder, attempted murder and causing serious injury. The investigation remains ongoing. Yet Father Adrian’s homily was centered not on anger, but on the Gospel. He told the congregation that the evil committed at the …Zaidi
Leo XIV invokes Europe’s Christian roots in defence of human rights and migration. Pope Leo XIV offered a sweeping account of European civilisation and its future in a September 28 landmark speech at the Robert Schuman Congress Centre in Metz, France. Speaking on “The Roots of Europe for Peace and Unity,” Leo XIV’s argument was, at its deepest level, anthropological: Europe’s future depends upon its understanding of the human person. Leo XIV began with Europe’s Greek, Roman and Christian inheritance, but emphasised that “European civilization is also the fruit of centuries-long encounters.” He specifically cited “the presence of Arab culture in the Iberian Peninsula.” He then turned to the contribution of Benedictine monasticism. After recalling its role in caring for the poor, sick and elderly, as well as in universities, hospitals, medicine, science, architecture, law and political organisation, he declared: “Without this monastic tradition, European civilization as we know it would …Zaidi
At a moment in history when relations between nations "are becoming increasingly barbaric," dialogue and multilateralism remain "the best antidote to the desire for domination, which lies at the root of every conflict," Pope Leo XIV said.
Pope of Applause. Leo XIV received three minutes of thunderous applause after his speech in Metz on September 28, accompanied by emotional orchestral music. He stood, visibly pleased, and nodded. Applause has an old political language: the acclamation of rulers. Leo XIV readily accepts the ritual, in Metz as in the Vatican, several times a day. Pius XII did not invent papal applause, but helped normalize what earlier popes had often regarded with suspicion: the Pope as the object of prolonged public ovation.
He uses the fact that he spoke up in defense of life to wrap with it his heresy of fraternity of religions (aka One world religion). The devils poison is always sugarcoated
"If the fruitfulness of religious traditions is seen above all in their service of peace and fraternity, it is also expressed in their ability to protect, accompany and serve life" Pope Leo XIV at the Conclusion of the Interfaith Meeting in Metz.
The involvement of children in paramilitary training has been on the rise in Ukraine since the 2014 Western-backed Euromaidan coup, with the process accelerating further in the wake of the full-blown conflict with Russia. The idea of lowering age thresholds for such training and, potentially, for active service has been repeatedly floated by various public figures. Moreover, boot camps for children have frequently been set up by openly neo-Nazi groups, with basic training going hand in hand with hateful indoctrination at such facilities.
Leo XIV is “following in Francis’s footsteps,” Cardinal Ángel Rossi, 68, of Córdoba, told La Nación on September 27. Cardinal Rossi described Leo XIV’s visit to Argentina as an homage to Francis, comparing his visit to the Cottolengo with Francis’s trip to Lampedusa, with both emphasizing the poor and marginalized. He also said that “Leo XIV will find a battered Argentina, socially downcast, and one in which triumphalist language is heard.”
Cardenal Ángel Rossi: «León XIV se encontrará con una Argentina en ruinas, socialmente abatida y en la que se escucha un lenguaje triunfalista»

The freedom loving Ukrainians were the same people who wrote to Putin. Keep up with my posts and listen carefully to what the old pensioners are saying in them. One elderly women said to Patrick Lancaster. I personally wrote to Putin to come and save us. And so Putin finally went in because he couldn't take it any longer. Taking a chance to provoke the US AND NATO. To save the Ukrainian people. Not just from death and rape. Sounds awfully strange that Russia is already bringing salvation to the Ukrainian people. Lead by The Blessed Mother through Putin. You sound more and more everyday like a globalist puppet. If I can see it so does many others. Though I know you have at least two helpers from other countries who also show their true colors. Working on the side of the enemy as usual.
Leo XIV "did not want to get involved in French politics". Tonight, on the return flight from Metz to Rome, Pope Leo XIV was asked whether his remarks on euthanasia had crossed the boundary between religion and politics. Leo XIV replied: “I have not crossed that boundary.” When the Church speaks “in defense of life,” it is “not doing politics, but applying the Gospel to people’s lives.” And: “If this is doing politics, I did it; but I certainly did not intend to meddle in French politics. I simply wanted to teach what the Church really believes.”
‘I didn’t want to get involved in French politics, I only wanted to proclaim the gospel.’ That’s what Pope Leo XIV said on Monday evening during the plane interview on the return flight to Rome after his four-day visit to France.
La anglicana Abadía de Westminster honrará a Tolkien. J.R.R. Tolkien, famoso escritor católico autor de “El Señor de los Anillos”, será homenajeado con un monumento en la Abadía de Westminster. hmtv
J.R.R. Tolkien, writer, artist, scholar and linguist is to be honoured in Westminster Abbey in Poets’ Corner alongside his close friend and fellow writer, C.S. Lewis. A major new memorial celebrating Tolkien’s creative vision and storytelling by artist Stephen Broadbent will be revealed at a dedication ceremony in Spring 2027, which is also the 90th anniversary year of The Hobbit and 50th anniversary year of The Silmarillion. The new memorial has been inspired by Tolkien’s Tree of Tales, which he called the Tree of Amalion. Featuring the imagery of a tree in a forest as its central theme, it will be a significant new artwork for the Abbey, inlaid vertically within a stone pillar in the south transept and rising 2.5 metres high. Predominantly made from native woods found in the UK, it will include a piece of the iconic black pine, known as ‘Tolkien’s tree’, which was felled from Oxford University’s Botanic Garden in 2014. The tree, a Pinus nigra, was a favourite of Tolkien during his time …Zaidi
Slovakia’s PM warns that we may be on the brink of war with Russia. He argues that many European leaders are compensating for socio-economic problems at home by stoking war rhetoric. He also expresses concern that we no longer talk about peace, only war.
The big boys as he calls them do not want peace. After he returns from Ukraine he will be more pessimistic than ever before. There will be no stopping them from fulfilling their agenda. Except they won't get what they are hoping for. It's not meant to be. Thank GOD For that.
4000 Years Anniversary of 8 Martyrs’ Martyrs’ Shrine celebration scheduled for Sept. 26, 2026 Canadian Martyrs’ feast marks 400 years of faith
HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICAEight Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons were ritually tortured and killed on various dates between 1642-49 in Canada, in what is now southern Ontario, and in upstate New York, during the warfare between the Iroquioan tribes the Mohawk and the Huron. They have subsequently been canonized and venerated as "the Canadian martyrs by the Catholic Church" (René Goupil, Isaac Jogues, Jean de Lalande, Antoine Daniel, Jean de Brébeuf, Gabriel Lalemant, Charles Garnier, Noël Chabanel) .

‘GEORGIA MARTYRS’: U.S. TO WITNESS ANOTHER BEATIFICATION CEREMONY | SG News Just weeks after the historic beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the Catholic Church in the United States is preparing for another major beatification. The Venerable Servants of God Pedro de Corpa and his Four Companions — collectively known as the “Georgia Martyrs” — will be beatified on October 31, 2026, in Savannah, Georgia. Cardinal Frank Leo, Metropolitan Archbishop of Toronto, will represent Pope Leo XIV as Papal Legate and preside over the beatification liturgy at the Savannah Convention Center at 11 a.m. The story of the Georgia Martyrs reaches back more than four centuries. In 1595, Franciscan missionaries were assigned to missions along the coast of what is now Georgia, where they ministered among the indigenous Guale people, learned their language and shared the Catholic faith. In 1597, a conflict arose when Pedro de Corpa opposed the decision of Don Juanillo, a baptized Christian and heir …Zaidi
Pedro de Corpa was born circa 1560 in Corpa, near Alcalá. He joined the Franciscan Order around 1577 and was likely ordained around 1584. On July 21, 1587, Pedro and twelve other friars (including Antonio de Badajoz) set sail from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and later departed Havana on September 29, arriving at St. Augustine on October 5. Pedro was assigned to work at Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Tolomato. He was the first to be martyred on September 14, 1597. Blas Rodríguez was born in the 1550s in Cuacos de Yuste, Cáceres. In the early to mid-1570s, he joined the Franciscans and was ordained sometime in the 1580s. On May 17, 1590, he was approved to be sent to the New World and was assigned to Tupiqui.[5] Those who killed Pedro then went to kill Blas. Before being executed on September 16, 1597,[4] he was allowed to celebrate a final Mass and preach: My sons, for me it is not difficult to die. Even if you do not cause it, the death of this body is inevitable. We must be ready …Zaidi
