August 6 - Blessed Tadeusz Dulny Blessed Tadeusz Dulny, also known as Tadeo Dulny, Taddeo Dulny, and Thaddeus Dulny, was born on 8 August 1914 in Kszczonowice, Swietokrzyskie, Poland, as one of eight children of Jan and Antonina Dulny. He grew up in a deeply religious family that fostered his own piety and devotion. Tadeusz's strong calling to the priesthood led him to become a seminarian in the diocese of Wloclawek, Poland. Although he was not an exceptional student, he was admired for his devout nature and his commitment to his vocation. However, the outbreak of World War II and the Nazi invasion of Poland brought about a sudden and tragic turn of events. On 7 October 1939, Tadeusz, along with other seminarians and their teachers, was arrested by the Nazis. They were taken prisoners and confined in the Salesian College of Lad, which had been transformed into a temporary detention center. Despite the dire circumstances, the teachers continued their clandestine instruction of the …More

The Real Reason Behind Trump’s Yen Intervention Aug. 6, 2026, 7:00 p.m. ET nytimes.com/…6/opinion/treasury-yen-trump-currenc… By Eswar Prasad Dr. Prasad is a professor at Cornell University and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. It’s rare for the United States to intervene in another country’s currency policy. It usually happens because there is a crisis. But in recent cases involving Argentina, Japan and the United Arab Emirates, none of those countries had reached the level of emergency usually required. In all three the Trump administration has directly supported or offered support for their currencies. Why would the administration do this? After all, it seems risky and expensive to buy another country’s currency or even offer to temporarily swap dollars for that currency, especially one whose value is falling. None of these actions were born of benevolence. The administration has U.S. economic interests in mind but is also keen to propagate its policies and reward its …More
– Folha de S. Paulo, February 22, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira A BRAZILIAN friend of mine in Spain — actually one of that country’s most ardent admirers — sent me some news of what is going on under the present socialist government. It was no surprise for one who knows the mentality, doctrine and program of the majority PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party), because Spanish socialism (like its French counterpart) strives to destroy the family in every possible way. Divorce, the “depenalization” of homosexuality and of abortion in many circumstances, and the promotion of contraception are key points in the PSOE’s activity. My friend wrote me: “Immorality in Spain has really grown in the last few years. This winter all the billboards are terribly immoral, and you cannot imagine what the TV programs are like. The ambience in the schools has also reached a climax of immorality. What you see in the streets are scenes of unbridled immorality. In short, immorality has a green light …More
Chapter XXVI ~ The Third Dungeon The Red Hot Floor Look into this room. What a dreadful place it is! The roof is red hot; the floor is like a thick sheet of red hot iron. See, on the middle of that red hot floor stands a girl. She looks about sixteen years old. Her feet are bare, she has neither shoes nor stockings on her feet; her bare feet stand on the red hot burning floor. The door of this room has never been opened before since she first set her foot on the red hot floor. Now she sees that the door is opening. She rushes forward. She has gone down on her knees on the red hot floor. Listen, she speaks! She says; "I have been standing with my feet on this red hot floor for years. Day and night my only standing place has been this red hot floor. Sleep never came on me for a moment, that I might forget this horrible burning floor. Look," she says, "at my burnt and bleeding feet. Let me go off this burning floor for one moment, only for one single, short moment. Oh, that in the endless …More
God the Eternal Father to St. Catherine of Siena about eternal punishment for unrepented mortal sin: " "The soul’s guilt is infinite because it was committed against Me, who am infinite Good. Therefore, it deserves infinite punishment."
chris griffin & mccallansteve Why the punishment in Hell is infinite (Chapters 40 & 78 of the Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena) - ChatGPT answer (the best among four altogether) : " In The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena, the explanation of why the punishment in hell is eternal is found primarily in First Treatise: Treatise on Divine Providence, specifically within the sections addressing God's justice, sin, and the state of souls in the afterlife. The core of God's explanation rests on two main theological principles: the infinite offense caused to an infinite God, and the fixity of the human will after death (souls in hell cannot repent). Here is the key passage where God explains this to Catherine (drawing from standard translations, such as that by Suzanne Noffke, O.P.): From The Dialogue (Chapter 40 / Section on Justice and Hell): "And their pain cannot be undone. Why? Because the soul cannot undo its guilt, having lost the time of mercy. For just as the tree falls, so …More

against Iran — or elsewhere Donald Trump finally collided with reality over depleted US weapons stockpiles – blaming Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who in turn blamed his deputy, in a buck-passing game that laid bare the White House's and the Pentagon's staggering incompetence. Shortages of critical munitions – especially long-range guided missiles and air-defense interceptors – have forced Trump to shelve plans for further massive strikes on Iran, the Washington Post reports As a result, Trump claimed Monday that he had called off "the biggest attack since World War 2," because of renewed negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. In reality, however, the decision appears to have reflected a mismatch between Trump's ambitions and US actual military capabilities Depleted air-defense missile stockpiles was also a key reason Gulf allies urged Trump not to escalate the conflict, as they feared further escalation could leave them vulnerable to Iranian retaliation, reports say During …More
[Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Chapter XV ~ HOW THE SOULS IN PURGATORY REBUKE THE MEN OF THIS WORLD. "WOULD that I could cry out" (said this blessed soul, when under Divine illumination she saw these things), "loud enough to strike with fear every man upon the earth, and say, Miserable beings, why suffer ye yourselves to be so blinded by this world as to make no provision for the dire strait ye will find your selves in at the hour of death ? Ye all shelter yourselves under the hope of God's mercy, which ye say is so great ; and ye consider not that this very goodness of God will rise up in judgment against you for having opposed the will of so good a Master: His mercy ought to constrain you to do all His Will, and not encourage you to do evil. Be assured that His justice cannot yield, but must in one way or other be fully satisfied. Let no one buoy himself up saying, ' I …More
"Let no one buoy himself up saying, ' I shall confess ; and then I shall receive a plenary indulgence, where by I shall be cleansed from all my sins and get through safely.' Know that a plenary indulgence requires confession and contrition ; and this latter is so difficult to obtain, that if ye knew how difficult, ye would tremble with fear, and rather make sure of not gaining than of gaining the indulgence."

"Every religion legitimately considers itself to possess the truth," Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline, Archbishop of Marseille and president of the French Bishops' Conference, said in an interview on Avvenire.it on August 5. Talking about Marseille's religious diversity [where Arabic has long become the dominant language], Cardinal Aveline described the coexistence of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and Christians as a theological challenge: "We did not invent the plurality of religions, nor the fact that every religion legitimately considers itself to possess the truth." On the Church's catholicity, Aveline claims: "The Creed we recite every Sunday embodies the Church's vocation to catholicity. If I had been born in China, I would have been Confucian; in Japan, Shinto." He argued that the Church's catholicity means recognizing "the desire for God in the hearts of women and men of every religion." Citing the Second Vatican Council, he said the Holy Spirit offers everyone "the possibility of being …More
