The Roman Rite Revived a Church Planned for Demolition: The church St. Francis de Sales in St. Louis, Missouri, was facing demolition after its parish closed in 2005. Instead, then-Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke of St. Louis entrusted it to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. The Roman rite has been celebrated ever since. Today, the church regularly attracts more than 700 worshippers each Sunday, many of whom are young adults and families.

Ornate Catholic church was on the brink of closing... until priest came up with extraordinary old-fashioned idea that made attendance boom

An ornate Catholic church was on the brink of closure but now sees hundreds of faithful flock to its pews for Mass each week thanks to a priest's extraordinary idea. St Francis de Sales Oratory was founded in 1867 by a group of German immigrants who settled in St Louis, Missouri. The gorgeous church became a landmark in the midwestern city and for decades served parishioners of more than a dozen nationalities. But as families started moving out to the suburbs, the church, dubbed the Cathedral of south St Louis, saw a massive drop in parishioners, the church website states. St Francis de Sales was closed by the Archdiocese of St Louis in June 2005, and the church was forced to merge with another local parish. The church was scheduled to be torn down and sold, but was saved that July when Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke made the church an Oratory where Mass is strictly administered in Latin. St Francis de Sales is now one of about 450 churches across the country that regularly celebrate the …

Spanish Archbishop Rejects Opposition to Mosque: Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses of Seville addressed the proposed mosque in the city at a press conference on Friday. He cited Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16 of the Spanish Constitution, and Vatican II's Dignitatis Humanae, emphasizing that religious freedom is both a universal and constitutional right. He added that these rights must be exercised in accordance with state, regional, local, and municipal law. His remarks come as Seville City Council has postponed a decision on the mosque's building permit while seeking additional technical and legal reports following objections from the political party Vox.

Russia recently bombed another bunker with NATO members. Soon Russia will have to strike deep into Europe where they are actually in control over Ukraine. As they bomb and kill many innocent children and civilians. They have been planning a war against President Putin and Russia for a long time. And one coup after the other trying to replace him. Now once again they are planning a huge coup in Russia to "TRY" and replace Putin, AGAIN! Let them try. The Russian people will protect their President whom they love and grateful for. They are all united together. No matter what Faith or background. They will stand and protect their President.

Munich Cathedral Hosted First Homosexual Service for “CSD” March

On 28 June, the closing day of Munich "Pride" weekend, the Cathedral of Munich, Germany, hosted its first Christopher Street Day (CSD) Youth Liturgy.
The liturgy included scripture readings, prayers, music and personal blessings. The event was organised jointly by the Cathedral Parish, the Catholic youth organisation BDKJ, and the Queer Pastoral Ministry of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising.
The organisers of the 'Catholic' cathedral service also participated in the Munich homosex march.
BDKJ members marched carrying a large rainbow banner bearing the words 'Love is no sin'. They also carried a large orange banner depicting Jesus Christ with the slogan 'Jesus would dance with us at CSD!'.
Both banners displayed the BDKJ logo to identify them as part of the organisation's official participation in the homosex march.

🌈 Bishops Attack FSSPX - "Invalid Sacraments", "Abuse of Eucharist"

Many bishops in the USA (and elsewhere) forbid Catholics from attending Mass in chapels belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, yet they welcome schismatics and homosexuals. Three examples:
Arlington Bishop: FSSPX Sacraments Are "Invalid"
Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, instructed Catholics to “avoid participating in the activities of the FSSPX.”
In a letter dated 8 July, he wrote that "any celebrations of the sacraments of confession and matrimony by the FSSPX are invalid, and the administration of other sacraments is illicit".
In September 2025, Bishop Burbidge said that his meeting with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew was “incredible,” and marked a “historic moment of Christian unity”.
Covington Bishop: FSSPX Mass Is "Abuse of Eucharist"
Bishop John Iffert of Covington, Kentucky, said in a recent statement that the sacraments from the FSSPX are “illicit”:

The RED LINES that the Magisterium of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV have crossed, and which are confusing the faithful and leading souls to the devil, to implement the Agenda of the New World Order in the Church.

1) Dismantling of Catholic Church doctrine and the two-millennia-old tradition brick by brick, to adapt it to the Agenda 2030.
a) Mark 8:33; Jesus rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan! For your thoughts are not those of God, but of men.”
b) John 7: 18; "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the Glory of Him who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him."
2) Desecration of the Catholic Church through Syncretism of the Catholic Faith with paganism. Desecrating it through the goddess Pachamama and the introduction of the worship of Islam in the Vatican, and urging the faithful to discover Islam, the religion of Baal. They invited the practice of other pagan religions into the Vatican.
a) Deuteronomy 30:17-18; But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, if you let yourself be led astray into bowing down to other gods and worshiping them, I declare to you today that you will surely perish.
b) Exodus 32:19-21; When Moses came near the …Ossotina

Donbass civilians recount horrors of life under Ukrainian occupation (VIDEO)

Refugees from the recently-liberated city of Konstantinovka have told RT’s Roman Kosarev that Kiev’s forces were using them as human shields Civilians from the recently-liberated Donbass city of Konstantinovka have shared their harrowing stories of abuse at the hands of Ukrainian troops exclusively with RT’s Roman Kosarev. By contrast, Russian forces helped evacuees to navigate their way to safety, at times risking life and limb. The Russian military announced last Friday that its forces had seized the heavily fortified Ukrainian stronghold, which is part of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk-Konstantinovka agglomeration in the northwest of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). Commenting on the development, President Vladimir Putin said that Konstantinovka is the “key to liberating the entire” region. On Saturday, RT correspondent Kosarev visited the city of Gorlovka, where several temporary accommodation centers for refugees from the locality had been set up. He spoke with some of the …

In an interview with a teenager and her Aunt, they were trying to explain what really happened in Georgia. That it was the Georgian government who started the war and killing their own people. But fake news kept cutting them off, or going to commercial. They finally cut them off and said, they were done. But the Aunt and teenager rushed in, the Russian soldiers saved many lives. We thank them for all they did for our families and others. The Aunt got in. during one of their breaks. Yes! You don't want the people to know the truth do you! But in the end they said what they had to say. Just like in Crimea when they went their to find at least one person who was against it. They found NO ONE at all. With one man saying. President Putin is our Commander in Chief. They were not happy at all. Oh! Well.

The Beggar Is Right!

– Folha de S. Paulo, November 26, 1982 –
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
In these confusing times, facts often influence us less by what they are than by how they appear. And they appear to be what propaganda presents them as. Now, the media — TV, radio, and the press, in short, the Republic’s Fourth Branch — is entirely focused on reporting what happened on November 15.
And, at least for now, it seems to be saving commentary for later. Since I have nothing to add to these extensive news reports, I don’t want to jump ahead with my commentary. As I mentioned above, I will comment more on the commentary than on the facts themselves.
Therefore, while waiting for the right moment, I set aside the big topic of the elections today.
What, then, should I discuss? I close my eyes to reflect. Since I just took a long ride through the streets, it’s not surprising that a multitude of human figures come to mind.

Ann Widdecombe, British Politician and Catholic Convert Who Vigorously Defended Church Teaching, Dies at 78

Former Member of Parliament became a prominent voice for life, conscience, and moral truth in Britain’s public square. Editor’s Note: The death of Ann Widdecombe is now being investigated as a murder, first reported by the BBC. EWTN News has a developing story surrounding this tragic news. LONDON — Ann Widdecombe, who has died aged 78, was a prominent and combative former British politician who consistently defended the Catholic faith and the Church’s moral teaching in public life. Her management agents announced the news “with great sadness” and sent their “deepest condolences to Ann’s family and friends.” Widdecombe became one of the best-known Conservative politicians of her generation, holding ministerial positions in the 1990s, and briefly returning to elected office in 2019 as a member of the Brexit Party. Already renowned for her outspoken conservative views, she gained further public recognition when she left the Church of England following its vote to ordain women as priests …
