“Be careful! They want a Church that simply cannot exist.” That’s what priests in Africa told Archbishop Hubertus van Megen when they learned he was heading to Germany as the papal nuncio in Berlin. In an interview with Katholisch.de, published September 23, Van Megen, who spent nearly 16 years in Africa before moving to Berlin, said tensions over Germany’s Synodal Path run “throughout the entire universal Church.” The Dutch prelate also sees parallels with secularization in the Netherlands. “The Germans, in my impression, often want too much too quickly,” he said, questioning whether reforms are meant to “save” the Church: “I would consider that an illusion.”
Deutschlands neuen Nuntius sagte, die Spannungen um den deutschen suizidalen Weg seien in der ganzen katholischen Kirche spürbar. Aus Afrika habe er Warnungen gehört: „Seien Sie vorsichtig! Sie wollen eine Kirche, die so nicht existieren kann.“
Cardinal McElroy hails Leo XIV’s shift from “unfortunate” Catechism teaching. Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, writing at NcROnline.org on September 23, said that “during the past six months, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in Catholic teaching on war.” McElroy praised the “tremendous progress” made during that period toward “eclipsing the role of the just war tradition in Catholic teaching.” “The just war framework has been distorted to become a source of justification for those inclined to go to war, rather than a constraint on war,” McElroy claimed. Then this: “One of the accelerants for this trend is the unfortunate statement in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that the evaluation of the just war criteria belongs to those who have responsibility for the common good.” The cardinal's statement comes in the wake of Leo XIV’s encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas'. In §192, Leo XIV writes that just-war theory “is now outdated.” However, Catechism 2309 doesn’t say …ད་རུང་།
Trump calls for all nations to quit the International Criminal Court, as the ICC never goes after the killers of Christians and constantly loves to whine about the "atrocities" of the US military and how they (the ICC), cherish the butchery of kids and transgenderism in children (sick), DJT truth bomb.
This is why we know people like @Falk B are either brainwashed or fools, the video and statement of this article is Trump denouncing the ICC for their proselytism of transgenderism and butchering of kids, but the ICC instead of trying the butchers of Christians and kids, with their omission and constant demon style proselytism prefer to butcher kids, and our dear unhinged democrat, liberal or perhaps bergoglian talks about the sins of the US military like if this post is about that. Even Jesus said about wars and rumors of wars: "they NEED to happen", I CHALLENGE YOU @Falk B to find 1 Venezuelan living abrought that backs you up on the killing of those who died safeguarding Maduro, BUT hey, you have free will and have NO common sense at all, so ill give you 1 point out of 100 for participating yet missing the mark entirely.
Atrocities of US military? Hell yes!!!! Iran, Irak, Contras, Syria, Venezuela, Peru, Cuba, Kongo, Haiti, Chile (not all wars but "involvement) you name it!!!! Basically no war on this planet without the US at least involved, many of em on their behalf...
Cardinal Mario Grech says the Church is “synodal by nature”, but also “hierarchical by nature.” The baptized meet to “make decisions together”, but the bishop must ensure those decisions are correct, and the Pope does so for the universal Church. Speaking to Domradio.de on September 22, Cardinal Grech said there is “room for everyone”, but Germany’s proposed Synodal Conference still requires “careful” examination. Synodality, he said, is still “developing”, but the Synod itself is already over. The three-year implementation phase culminates in a 2028 ecclesial assembly, which Grech stressed is “not a continuation of the Synod.” What follows is for Pope Leo XIV to decide.
Kardinal Mario Grech erklärte, die Kirche sei „von Natur aus synodal“ – „es gibt Platz für alle“ –, fügte jedoch sofort hinzu, dass sie ihrem Wesen nach weiterhin hierarchisch sei. Auf die Frage nach der noch anstehenden Synodalversammlung in Deutschland lehnte Seine Eminenz eine Stellungnahme ab und verwies die Angelegenheit an das Dikasterium für die Bischöfe. Die kirchliche Versammlung im Jahr 2028, fügte er hinzu, sei keine Fortsetzung der Synode von 2021–24.
The click is dying. Gloria.tv flourishes. “Social media is becoming an increasingly urgent issue in communications,” Cardinal Marx of Munich - not exactly known for his Catholic convictions - observed on Monday. Cardinal Marx added: “The media landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. We are witnessing a turning point.” On that, he is right. The old model of editorial, paternalistic media is fading. Users want a voice of their own. They increasingly consume headlines and news snippets directly in their feeds without ever clicking through. We see it on Gloria.tv: about 90% of users never get beyond roughly 1,000 characters. Gloria.tv has changed with the media landscape — into a social network. And it works: Gloria.tv ranks among the 10,000 largest websites worldwide on Cloudflare Radar. But success doesn't pay the bills. Our autumn fundraising goal is €10,000. That would give us breathing room until Advent. For almost twenty years, Gloria.tv has been short of money. That, too,…ད་རུང་།
The ART of deceit to mislead the Faithful. Many consecrated will break the Vows they made with God and embrace what is abominable. 1) Genesis 3: 1-4,6; The serpent was the most cunning of all the animals of the field that Yahweh God had made. And he said to the woman, “How is it that God has said to you, ‘You shall not eat from any of the trees of the garden’?” The woman replied to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden. But as for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it, or you will DIE.’” The serpent said to the woman, “YOU WILL NOT DIE”. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eye, and desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, and he ate it. 2) Proverbs 6:16-17: "A lying tongue" and "a false witness who lies with every breath" among the seven things God detests. 3) John 8:44; You belong to your father,…ད་རུང་།
Sztuka oszustwa mająca na celu wprowadzenie w błąd wiernych. Wielu osób konsekrowanych złamie śluby złożone Bogu i przyjmie to, co jest ohydne. 1) Księga Rodzaju 3: 1-4,6; Wąż był najprzebieglejszym ze wszystkich zwierząt polnych, które stworzył Bóg Jahwe. I rzekł do kobiety: „Jak to, że Bóg wam powiedział: «Nie wolno wam jeść z żadnego drzewa w ogrodzie»?”. Kobieta odpowiedziała wężowi: „Możemy jeść owoce drzew w ogrodzie. Ale co do owocu drzewa, które znajduje się pośrodku ogrodu, Bóg powiedział: «Nie wolno wam go jeść ani nawet dotykać, bo umrzecie»”. Wąż rzekł do kobiety: „NIE UMRZECIE”. Gdy kobieta zobaczyła, że drzewo to jest dobre do jedzenia, miłe dla oczu i pożądane, by zdobyć mądrość, zerwała z niego owoc i zjadła; dała też mężowi, a on zjadł. 2) Księga Przysłów 6:16-17: „Kłamliwy język” i „fałszywy świadek, który kłamie z każdym oddechem” należą do siedmiu rzeczy, których Bóg nienawidzi. 3) Ewangelia według św. Jana 8:44: „Wy należycie do waszego ojca, diabła, i chcecie spełniać …ད་རུང་།
Funeral for a male dancer turns into a comedy performance. Dancer, choreographer, and social worker Thierry Parmentier, 74, was given a funeral in the Catholic church of Caldogno, Italy, on June 24. He had planned the event himself, including its music, choreography and performances. Belgian-born, Parmentier had lived in the Vicenza area for over 40 years and staged productions to raise funds for AIDS research. The church was filled with Doctor Clown volunteers, biodance and holistic practitioners, and stilt-walkers. Don Gigi Maistrello, chaplain to Vicenza prison, preached the homily. After the funeral, an animated procession accompanied the coffin to the parish centre, where the farewell continued with music, dance and performances.
C’è ancora qualcosa di Cattolico? Venghino, siori, venghino: al gran circo del funerale di Thierry Parmentier a Caldogno!
A priest has been killed and four people injured in a knife attack at the Benedictine abbey in Jarosław, Poland, on September 24. Police say a 31-year-old Ukrainian citizen attacked four men and a woman shortly before 9:30 a.m. and was detained at the scene. Fr. Stanisław died from his injuries. Fr. Marek was seriously wounded. The other victims were also hospitalized. The motive has not yet been established.
Dziś rano, na terenie Opactwa Sióstr Benedyktynek w Jarosławiu doszło do ataku nożownika (31-letniego obywatela Ukrainy) na grupę osób, które prawdopodobnie zgromadziły się na poranne nabożeństwo. W wyniku napaści zginął kapłan - ks. Stanisław, rektor ośrodka rekolekcyjnego. Dwóch kolejnych duchownych (w tym ks. Marek) jest w bardzo poważnym stanie. W ataku ranione zostały również inne osoby, w tym jedna kobieta. Do morderstwa doszło po godzinie 9:00. Natomiast o 10:00 miała rozpocząć się Msza Święta. Sprawca został ujęty. Świadkami była m.in. młodzież, która chwilę wcześniej zwiedzała Opactwo, które jest otwarte. Pozostaje nam podjąć pilny szturm modlitewny, zwłaszcza za tych, którzy teraz walczą o życie..
" The man who would sooner die than offend God, feels death and the pain of dying ; but the sight of God supplies him with a zeal which makes him think more of the Divine honour than bodily death. In like manner, a soul knowing what God has appointed for it thinks more of the appointment than any outward or inward pain, no matter how dreadful ; and this be cause God, the Author of it, surpasses everything that can be thought of or imagined."
‘HOW GOD MAKES USE OF PURGATORY…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; Chapters XVII; pp. 48-52; part II [Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] I am sensible of all these things I have described as it were by sight and touch, but I cannot find fitting words to express myself as I could wish. I have said what I have, because I was conscious of its going on spiritually within me. The prison in which I fancy myself shut up is the world ; the chain by which I am held is the body ; the soul enlightened is she who, knowing well the grievousness of being detained and kept back by any hindrance from reaching her end, suffers thereby great pain, inasmuch as she is very tender. God, by His grace, bestows upon her a dignity which makes her like God, and not only like God, but even one with Him through participating in His goodness ; and as it is impossible that God …ད་རུང་།
Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen In New Zealand, where 94.7% of the eligible population is fully vaccinated, they experienced a *3,203% spike in excess deaths* compared to 2020, with 5,285 excess deaths recorded in a 49-week period in 2022. Whistleblower Barry Young released the NZ Government record level data which recorded the doses dates and deaths following the Covid shots being administered . Barry Young is being prosecuted by the Crown for making the data public and exposing the Covid jabs crime. The article contrasts these high mortality claims with evidence that the government granted over 11,000 vaccine exemptions to key staff and elites while enforcing mandates on the general public, leading to accusations of hypocrisy by former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s administration.

Emmanuel Macron’s decision not to attend the papal Eucharists during Leo XIV’s visit to France is in keeping with France’s state religion of laicism. Jacques Chirac did not attend John Paul II’s celebrations in 1997, nor did Nicolas Sarkozy attend Benedict XVI’s in 2008. The only recent exception was Macron’s presence at Pope Francis’s Eucharist in Marseille in 2023, but the circumstances were different: attending the Mass was effectively the only opportunity for the French president to formally welcome the Pope.
Nessuno scandalo per la mancata presenza di Macron alle messe papali in Francia: è la prassi. Né Chirac nel '97 né Sarkozy nel 2008 parteciparono alle celebrazioni presiedute da Giovanni Paolo II e Benedetto XVI. Unica eccezione: Macron con Francesco a Marsiglia (ma era l'unica possibilità di accogliere con tutti gli onori il Papa)
