U.S. and Canadian Jesuits Consolidate Novitiates

A decline in religious vocations has prompted the Jesuits in the United States and Canada to restructure the way they train future members of the pro-homosexual order.
The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States has announced that it will reduce the number of its novitiates from five to two by 2028. This decision was communicated in a letter dated 9 July and signed by the superiors of the conference's five provinces.
Under the new arrangement, one novitiate will be located in Detroit, Michigan, serving the USA Midwest, USA East and Canada provinces, while the second will remain in Culver City, California, serving the USA West and USA Central and Southern provinces. Each facility is expected to accommodate up to 30 novices.
"Running five novitiates takes an awful lot of high-quality Jesuit personnel," Fr. Joseph Daoust, SJ, superior of the Detroit Jesuit community, told DetroitCatholic.com on July 10. "Each novitiate requires three to four experienced Jesuits dedicated to …Aktar

Infant Surrendered to Safe Haven Baby Box in Indiana

A newborn baby was surrendered to the Marion General Hospital in Indiana, according to Safe Haven Baby Boxes. Local news outlet WTHR reported on Friday that the baby was surrendered to the device in June. The child is in the care of the Indiana Department of Child Services, which is working to find an adoptive family for the infant. “We are grateful this mother trusted our program on one of the hardest days of her life to keep her baby safe,” said Monica Kelsey, Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder. “When communities are prepared for safe surrender, vulnerable members of those communities are protected.” Baby boxes were created to deter parents from abandoning their newborns, potentially leaving them to die. Baby boxes are temperature-controlled incubators often built into exterior walls of fire stations, police stations, and hospitals that can be accessed from inside. At-risk mothers can safely and legally place their newborns inside. Then, the outside door locks, and mothers have time to …

Welcome to the Middle East, Monsieur Macron. Allahu Akbar! – Allah's Willing Executioners

Two years after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Emmanuel Macron was in Damascus to meet the new strongman, the former jihadist Ahmed al-Sharaa, who has never been a man of peace but rather the polished face of the most violent Islamism – the one that disfigured Syria under the banners of jihad and massacred Christians, Druze, and Alawites in collusion with Turkish and Qatari protectors. The imposing door of the Great Umayyad Mosque opened with a theatrical creak. Macron and his host, al-Sharaa, removed their shoes and entered, followed by the delegations. Built 1,300 years ago on the site of a church, the mosque houses the relics of St. John the Baptist and the tomb of Saladin. Beneath Byzantine-era frescoes, the two signed energy and trade agreements. Two devices meanwhile exploded near the Four Seasons Hotel where the French president had stayed. “Macron is safe,” the Élysée immediately reassured. It is not a travel incident, but the background noise of a Middle East that has never stopped …

How Severe Is the Priest Shortage in French Dioceses?

French dioceses face a worsening vocation crisis, despite claims of improvement in seminary recruitment, Laurent Dastros writes on July 9 on Substack.com.
Dastros notes that, as of 2026, three French dioceses - Aire-et-Dax, Le Puy-en-Velay, and Le Havre - have gone between 12 and 14 years without a diocesan priestly ordination.
Carcassonne et Narbonne ended a 19-year gap in 2025 with the ordination of a 51-year-old candidate.
Annecy and Rodez could join this list next year if they continue without new ordinations.
Longer-Term Picture
Dastros calculates that between 2011 and 2026, only three dioceses recorded a single diocesan priestly ordination: Carcassonne et Narbonne, Rodez et Vabres, and Pamiers, Couserans et Mirepoix.
Based on the assumption that priests remain in active ministry for approximately 50 years, he estimates that, if current trends continue, each of these dioceses could eventually have only about three native diocesan priests.
He further identifies seven dioceses that …Aktar

Emergency Baby Formula - How to Feed Your Infant When You Can't Get to the Store - Ask a Prepper

A grid-down event, a hurricane, a job loss, or a supply chain disruption like the 2022 formula shortage can cut you off from baby formula with almost no warning. Unlike most preps, this one has zero margin for error. An adult can skip a resupply run for a week and lose some weight. An infant fed the wrong substitute for even a few days can end up in the ER with low calcium, kidney strain, or severe malnutrition. This guide covers exactly what is safe to do when formula runs out, what to never feed a baby under any circumstances, and how to build a stockpile now so you never have to make these decisions in a panic. Why This Is the One Prep You Can’t Improvise Every other category of prepping gives you room to get creative. Food storage, water filtration, heat, shelter, you can jury-rig a workable solution out of what you have on hand. Infant nutrition does not work that way. A baby’s kidneys, liver, and digestive system are not built to process adult food, and their entire nutritional …

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 …

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.

False Prophets – Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

On the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, the Church reads part of Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount. “At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father in heaven shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 7:15-21) The Sermon on the Mount was delivered early in Christ’s public ministry, after the first Passover and our Lord’s initial preaching and miracles. It comes amidst Our Lord’s injunctions to have confidence in God, and to …

Pope Leo XIV personally lobbied Macron over French euthanasia bill, sources say | Advaticanum

A notable feature of the June Consistory was Pope Leo XIV’s call for frankness in addressing the pressing issues facing the Church. According to sources close to AdVaticanum, this approach has recently been put into practice through the Pope’s personal engagement with the highest levels of the French government on the question of euthanasia. The intervention has taken place through quiet but consistent channels. While sources could not confirm exactly when it began, Pope Leo XIV is said to have initiated a series of direct communications with Emmanuel Macron. According to sources within both the diplomatic sphere and the Vatican, His Holiness has been making regular 15-minute phone calls to the French President focused solely on the euthanasia and assisted suicide bill. These conversations have centred on ways to slow the bill’s progress and prevent France from following paths seen in other nations, such as Canada, where the law is now responsible for more than 5 per cent of deaths.

POPE LEO AGREES WITH ME: AG 7 IS ALIGNED WITH EENS . LG 16 IS NOT AN EXCEPTION FOR EITHER. VC2 IS DOGMATIC (AG 7/EENS) AND ECCLESIOCENTRIC (AG7/EENS).
Pope Leo is aligned doctrinally with the SSPX General Chapter Statement 2012.
ONE QUESTION
The pope would agree with the traditionalists. He has to be asked only one question. His reply will be “Yes”. Pope Leo simply has to be asked, “Does Lumen Gentium 16 (being saved in invincible ignorance) refer to a hypothetical and invisible case in 2026?” He will reply, “Yes”.
Ask any cardinal the same question .The answer will always be, yes. Ask even a non Catholic or non Christian the same question. The answer will be an obvious-yes.
He cannot meet or see someone now in Heaven saved without faith and baptism and instead in invincible ignorance.
A journalist would clarify, , “Holy Father, when Vatican Council II refers to being saved in invincible ignorance ( I.I ) and the baptism of desire (LG 14), the reference is to a hypothetical …Aktar

The Third Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima | The Fatima Center

From time to time it is good to remind readers of the Secret of Fatima. Thus, we take the opportunity to provide the known text on this 109th anniversary of the third apparition of Our Lady of Fatima and the revelation of the Great Secret to the three shepherd children, The Great Secret of Fatima[1] The Great Secret given by Our Lady to the three shepherd children consists of three parts. 1. The First Secret The first part was fully revealed in Sister Lucia’s Third and Fourth Memoirs, written at the command of her bishop, in 1941. This first part of the Secret of Fatima describes what Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco saw on that day. From Sister Lucia’s memoirs: “She opened Her hands once more, as She had done during the two previous months. The rays of light seemed to penetrate the earth, and we saw as it were a sea of fire. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls [of the damned] in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the …

“Continue to pray the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war; for only She can help you.” (Our Lady of Fatima, July 13, 1917)

Svalbard, a remote Arctic archipelago, holds inconvenient secrets about our climate history. A new study reveals it was up to 9C warmer around 10,000 years ago when CO2 was just 260 parts per million. Despite this warmth, glaciers didn't vanish. They survived, supported by increased snowfall. Svalbard then cooled for the next 8,000 years while CO2 kept rising. No tipping points, no runaway melt.
Yet today's climate models project the same 8 to 9C of warming by the year 2100 (using the discredited RCP8.5 scenario), and predict widespread glacier loss. That directly contradicts the historical record. Even the study's authors admit the future may follow the past. Warmer, wetter conditions could bring more snowfall, stabilizing or even growing glaciers. The fatal flaw in climate modeling has raised its ugly head once again. It can't replicate history.
And when the past contradicts your theory, it's the theory that's broken, not the past.

Café Catholicism: Parishes Are Upping Their Coffee Game

Coffeehouses aren’t a nice added extra for a Catholic parish, but rather an essential, one priest told the Register. Salvation through coffee? Not quite. But at Our Mother of Sorrows Church in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, making a coffeehouse out of the first floor of a former convent in 2016 was one of many decisions that helped turn it around. Known at the time as “the rich church on the hill,” the parish had a reputation for being unfriendly and transactional, said Julie Sheehan, a parishioner for 35 years and the current parish administrator. “Just extremely cold,” said the pastor (then and now), Father Mark Begly. He had in mind a church that was more welcoming, more giving to the needy, and more of a community. Fellowship is strong at Holy Grounds at Our Mother of Sorrows Church in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.(Photo: Julie Sheehan, Our Mother of Sorrows) Holy Grounds, as the coffee shop is called, is far from the only change during the past dozen years or so. Sheehan ticked off a long …
