The writing is on the wall. For those who have eyes, see!
Israel eliminated Gaza. Look at pictures; rubble. They also killed and drove out people living in Gaza. Southern Lebanon will be annexed by Israel. They are clearing the ground; leveling towns and buildings and driving the Lebanese out.

They do these things because they hate the Catholic faith and they know Trump will say not a word against it. Billions of American taxpayer dollars will continue to flow freely into Israel .

Leo XIV Appoints Smuggled Illegal Immigrant as U.S. Bishop

Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump.
Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, currently auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington, is the new bishop of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia. He is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the United States in a car trunk.
Furthermore, Leo XIV elevated the prelates Gary Studniewski, 68, and Robert Boxie, 45, as new auxiliary bishops for Washington Archdiocese.
Cardinal McElroy of Washington is one of the strongest pro-homosexual infiltrators. He publicly defended Fiducia Supplicans and said U.S. opposition focused on homosexual blessings reflected “enduring animus” toward homosexuals.
His Archdiocese of Washington spans Washington, D.C., and surrounding Maryland communities, placing its bishops in regular contact with policymakers, diplomats and national media.
With Menjivar, Boxie and Studniewski, Leo XIV has again reinforced a leadership group …Siwaju sii

Being a “critic” of DJT is a good thing….a very good thing. These newly appointed Bishops may have other dire issues but in this area they’re right on target.

I put to thought as to why , all of a sudden, we now have violent acts upon the Novus Ordo from the Hebrews...........
Apostasy, Desecration of the Altar - the Holy of Holies, and the outright violation of the Very First Commandment with Pachamama.
This is the Lord God Yahweh speaking through his people, as the Novus Ordo have abandoned the faith and forsaken Christ himself.

Before and After: St. Frances Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Liturgical Arts Journal: Before and After: St. Frances Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Home » Architecture » Before and After: St. Frances Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin
Conrad Schmitt Studios have provided us with yet another 'before and after' project, this time coming out of the parish church of St. Francis Borgia in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The present church building was originally constructed in the year 1870 and over the century it underwent at least two renovations; one around the mid-century period, and another following the Second Vatican Council. In the mid-century period it obtained a renovation which essentially modified the church's altars and decoration programme to something more akin to the fads and fashions of the twentieth century liturgical movement; what came in the latter part of the twentieth century was far more radical with decorative paintwork being white-washed over, altars stripped out, and the sanctuary ordering completely changed.
That is the particular face of the church that constitutes what came immediately before the restorative works …

Bishop René Henry Gracida has died at the age of 102. A veteran of World War II who flew combat missions aboard bombers before entering the priesthood, Gracida later served as Bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee and then as Bishop of Corpus Christi, Texas, from 1983 to 1997. In his later years, he became known for questioning the legitimacy of Pope Francis’s papacy. Requiescat in pace.

Rest in Peace, Bishop René Gracida (June 9, 1923 – May 1, 2026)!

From Diocese of Corpus Christi
At the age of 102, Bishop René Henry Gracida passed away on the morning of May 1, 2026. Bishop Mario Avilés wrote, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bishop Emeritus René Henry Gracida. He served as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Corpus Christi from 1983 until 1997. We are deeply grateful for his faithful service as our shepherd for 14 years.” Previously, he was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee in Florida (1975–1983) and as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Miami in Florida (1971–1975).
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on June 9, 1923, Gracida was the second child of Enrique J. Gracida Carrizosa, a Mexican architect and engineer, and Mathilde Derbes, a fifth-generation French American Cajun. His great uncle was a vicar general of a diocese in Mexico. As a teenager, Gracida was fascinated by the Jesuit martyrs portrayed in James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans.

Al Gore Shifts On Global Warming: Time To Watch Out For A New Ice Age?
BY TYLER DURDEN

APR 29, 2026 - 08:10 PM
The rhetoric and predictions behind climate change "science" change so haphazardly, it's a sure sign that the entire field of study is fraudulent. If the manufactured hysteria is not enough to clue people in, the failed predictions of Al Gore should do the trick.
Former Vice President Al Gore warned a Hollywood audience this week that a "Gulf Stream collapse" could occur within 25 years, leading to an abrupt and devastating new Ice Age.
Mr. Gore, now 78, appeared at the inaugural Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event, co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. He participated in a keynote conversation with actor Bradley Whitford of “The West Wing,” timed to the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth.”

The church Saint-Cyriaque in Montenach, France, was severely damaged by fire on April 30. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No injuries were reported.

L’église Saint-Cyriaque de Montenach a été gravement endommagée par un incendie le 30 avril 2026. Le feu, probablement parti d’une zone végétalisée voisine, s’est propagé à la toiture sous l’effet du vent, détruisant une grande partie de la charpente et provoquant l’effondrement partiel du clocher. Aucun blessé n’est à déplorer. Les causes exactes restent à déterminer.

Solennité de saint Joseph ouvrier, époux de la bienheureuse Vierge Marie, confesseur, patron des ouvriers.

Saint Joseph, Artisan, époux de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie
La fête de saint Joseph Artisan, fixée au 1er mai par le pape Pie XII, succède à la solennité de saint Joseph qui se célébra jusqu’en 1955. Le monde du travail prend une conscience grandissante de son importance et c’est le rôle de l’Église de lui enseigner toute sa dignité; la figure de saint Joseph y contribue merveilleusement. Cette fête de saint Joseph est une triple fête patronale: fête de l’Église, fête de la famille et du foyer, fête du travail et de l’atelier. En était-il une qui fût davantage dans l’esprit de l’Évangile et dans l’esprit des temps nouveaux?

Donald Trump vs Léon XIV : heureuse polémique
ktotv
Parfois, si regrettable soit-elle, une polémique peut avoir des effets positifs. La récente opposition entre le président des Etats-Unis et le Pape est de celle-là. En critiquant avec une certaine brutalité le pape américain sur les réseaux sociaux, l'irascible Donald Trump a contribué à faire découvrir aux médias du monde entier la stature véritable de Léon XIV. Si l'actuel successeur de Pierre est un homme de nature plus réservée que son prédécesseur, il est aussi un pasteur d'âmes, qui annonce l'Evangile avec une calme obstination à temps et contretemps. Quitte à déplaire aux puissants. Et cela est une bonne chose. Une chronique avec le père Eric de Beukelaer.

It is good to approach them gently and reveal the beauty of God in their hearts.

Meditation III ~ Arrangements for eating the Paschal Lamb.
When the disciples had spoken to Heli of Hebron
, the latter went back into the house by the court, but they turned to the right, and hastened down the north side of the hill, through Sion. They passed over a bridge, and walking along a road covered with brambles, reached the other side of the ravine, which was in front of the Temple, and of the row of houses which were to the south of that building. There stood the house of the aged Simeon, who died in the Temple after the presentation of our Lord; and his sons, some of whom were disciples of Jesus in secret, were actually living there.

Meditation IV ~ The Chalice used at the Last Supper
The chalice which the Apostles brought from Veronica’s house was wonderful and mysterious in its appearance. It had been kept a long time in the Temple among other precious objects of great antiquity, the use and origin of which had been forgotten. The same has been in some degree the case in the Christian Church, where many consecrated jewels have been forgotten and fallen into disuse with time. Ancient vases and jewels, buried beneath the Temple, had often been dug up, sold, or reset. Thus it was that, by God’s permission, this holy vessel, which none had ever been able to melt down on account of its being made of some unknown material, and which had been found by the priests in the treasury of the Temple among other objects no longer made use of, had been sold to some antiquaries. It was bought by Seraphia /Saint Veronica/, was several times made use of by Jesus in the celebration of festivals, and, from the day of the Last Supper …Siwaju sii

Ed Pentin, Diane Montagna slam Vatican’s reception of female ‘archbishop’ of Canterbury – Allah's Willing Executioners

Prominent Vatican journalists Edward Pentin and Diane Montagna decried the Vatican’s recent reception and celebration of the Anglican female “archbishop” of Canterbury as scandalous and “absurd.”
Montagna on Monday
quoted from Pope Leo XIV’s address to Sarah Mullally in which he referred to “new problems” that “have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion” between the Catholic Church and Anglicans “more difficult to discern.”
“Of course, chief among these new problems is the fact that a woman dressed in liturgical attire is now being passed off – and celebrated by the Vatican and even by the Pope – as someone who seemingly has valid Orders when she doesn’t – first because she’s a woman and second because she’s an Anglican,” Montagna wrote.
She highlighted the fact that Archbishop Flavio Pace, Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, had gone so far as to “bow” before her and make the Sign of the Cross “as though receiving a real …
