‘HOW GOD MAKES USE OF PURGATORY…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; Chapters XV; pp. 40-41

[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

Not any human being can comprehend the magnitude of Jesus' love!

Remember,
Jesus looks upon you
with inexpressible love,
even if you were the greatest sinner.
He is waiting for your answer!

Cardinal Aveline: “Every Religion Legitimately [!] Considers Itself True”

"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

[DE↓] Behind Trump's bravado, the US doesn't have enough missiles to wage war

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

‼️👉 Fauci wegen Missachtung des Kongresses belangt
"Senatsrepublikaner haben Dr. Anthony Fauci wegen Missachtung des Kongresses belangt, um den ehemaligen Architekten der nationalen COVID-19-Reaktion zu zwingen, sich zu seinen Handlungen vor und während der Pandemie zu äußern.
Der Ausschuss für Heimatschutz und Regierungsangelegenheiten des Senats stimmte entlang scharfer Parteilinien dafür, Fauci, den ehemaligen Chefarztberater des Präsidenten, wegen Missachtung anzuklagen, nachdem er Fragen von beiden Seiten des Ganges aus Angst vor Selbstbelastung nicht beantwortet hatte. (...)
Normalerweise geht eine Missachtungsresolution nach der Verabschiedung im Ausschuss an das Plenum des Senats zur vollständigen Abstimmung. Pauls Resolution erlaubt jedoch, diesen Schritt komplett zu überspringen und die Überweisung direkt an den US-Staatsanwalt für den District of Columbia zu senden. Paul möchte das Justizministerium (DOJ) so schnell wie möglich einbeziehen. (...)

Russia-North Korea Relations

Russia's most immediate benefit from upgrading ties to North Korea is its ready access to large stockpiles of ammunition. As of late 2024, Russia was firing an average of 10,000 artillery shells a day. To sustain this rate of fire while it increases its domestic production capacity, Russia has turned to North Korea for artillery ammunition and ballistic missiles. According to U.S. officials and observers, North Korea has supplied Russia with millions of artillery and rocket artillery ammunition. According to the May 2025 MSMT report, North Korea also supplied Russia with at least 100 ballistic missiles in 2024 that were "launched into Ukraine to destroy civilian infrastructure and terrorize populated areas."congress.gov/crs-product/IF12760

However, it is also possible that the lack of a response is a matter of personnel connected with the basilica.
There is growing speculation that Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, Archpriest of Saint Peter’s Basilica, is due to be replaced soon. Rumors in Rome indicate that Gambetti’s replacement might be Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, or Bishop Guido Marini, who are all thought to be friendlier to the TLM than Gambetti.
It is possible that a forthcoming transition in archpriest could be delaying a response about the celebration of a TLM in the basilica
Therefore, silence should not be understood as rejection — at least not yet.
Several Vatican sources told The Pillar the decision to allow the Mass last year happened after Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke asked the pope in an Aug. 22 audience to allow the Mass to be celebrated there...

Is Pope Leo maintaining a TLM ‘gray area’?

Last month’s illicit SSPX consecrations and subsequent excommunications raised expectations that Pope Leo might soon act to expand the celebration of the TLM in communities that are in union with Rome. But more than a month later, that expected papal action has not come. Credit: Thoom / Shutterstock. Pope Leo has made a number of small yet tangible gestures towards traditionalist communities in the first year of his pontificate – for example, receiving some of the bishops, cardinals, and religious superiors most closely connected to them, and allowing a traditionalist pilgrimage to celebrate Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica. Those measures have sharpened expectation in some corners that the pope has planned to address longstanding discontent over Francis’ liturgical policy, with a solution friendly to Catholics who prefer the older liturgical rubrics. Last week, though, the prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments said in an interview that Pope Leo …
