Vatican Synod commission proposes “complete revision” of canon law — including marriages without a priest. A 10-member Canonical Commission established as part of the Vatican’s Synod on Synodality has published today proposals to reshape canon law. The report says that in the long term there is an “obvious need for a complete revision” of the Codes. The goal is to reflect emerging “theological and ecclesiological issues.” Among the proposals: • Sensus fidei: Canon 749 would begin by stating that “the entire body of the Christian faithful… cannot err in matters of faith” when universal consent in faith and morals is manifested “from the bishops down to the last of the lay faithful.” • Duty to listen: Pastors would have a canonical “duty to listen to the opinion of the Christian faithful” through communal discernment. • Lay governance: Bishops could appoint lay “episcopal delegates” exercising delegated authority. Lay men and women could serve as diocesan judges and, in certain cases, as …Kara
Conservative Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts joins the media enthusiasm surrounding Leo XIV’s reception in France. His praise of Leo XIV becomes rather grandiloquent: “The guillotine is gone. Now a man in white appears, proudly raising the Cross.” His central point is more interesting: secular Europe may have lost much of its Christian memory without losing its religious hunger. Mutsaerts sees a generation rediscovering the Cross, the rosary, Gregorian chant, Augustine and Aquinas. And he lands on a memorable image: “The world has organized Christianity’s funeral many times. The remarkable thing is that the deceased keeps showing up.”
LA GHIGLIOTTINA, IL PAPA A PARIGI E IL RITORNO INASPETTATO DELLA FEDE Un’illuminante riflessione di mons. Rob Mutsaerts su Vitamin Exp commenta il trionfale viaggio di Papa Leone XIV in Francia, mettendo a confronto il fallimento delle ideologie laiciste con la permanente attrattiva della fede. I punti salienti dell’articolo: I paradossi della Rivoluzione: Nata con la promessa di libertà, la Rivoluzione francese sfociò nel Terrore, nella ghigliottina e nella creazione del grottesco “Culto della Ragione”. Il surrogato woke: L’uomo non può fare a meno della religione.

Dutch Cardinal Wim Eijk condemned the euthanasia of a severely disabled Dutch child, nearly two years old, as a violation of human dignity. “Is it merciful to violate the fundamental dignity of the human person by ending their life?” he asked. Speaking to CruxNow.com in an interview on September 25, Eijk warned that “merciful” is often used to justify “ethically questionable actions.” He said ending the body is a “fundamental violation” of a person’s inherent dignity.

The Exorcism of the Catholic Marriage Bed: The Medicine of Saint Raphael for a Fallen Generation On this twenty-ninth day of September, the Feast of Saint Raphael the Archangel, faithful Catholics are compelled to look upon the widespread ruin of the domestic church. Everywhere, marriages are dissolved, souls are imperiled, and families are fractured. While the worldly ascribe this collapse to passing social conditions, the true cause is far more ancient, deep-seated, and deadly. It is the unchecked reign of lust within the very sanctuary of the sacrament. To understand why Catholic unions perish in our midst, we must look to the holy history of Tobias and Sarah, where seven husbands were delivered unto death before a single godly marriage could endure. The Sacred Scripture reveals that Sarah, the daughter of Raguel, was given sequentially to seven men, and each was struck dead on his wedding night by the demon Asmodeus. This is no mere historical curiosity; it is a terrifying spiritual …Kara
Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra Palantir’s PRISMA software is actively running inside Ukrainian long-range drone strike command posts, confirmed on camera by CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh, who filmed inside a unit planning kamikaze drone strikes deep into Russia. Screens showed real-time maps, flight paths, and AI-processed data overlays while a masked commander (“Vector”) walked through strike planning live. The AI ingests thousands of parameters, including where Russian air defenses are intercepting drones, then calculates optimal routes for the next wave to slip through the gaps.
Trump brought into Palantir then went on to praise them and advertise for them. As usual Trump is behind the strikes and planning of attacking Russia. Pride is the downfall of man. Good riddance to Trump.
A diocesan bishop has undergone a personal “conversion” toward the traditional Latin Mass. Bishop Donald Lippert of Mendi, Papua New Guinea, has come personally to see the beauty and power of the traditional Roman rite. He told AdVaticanum.com on September 29 that he had “over the last year or so, a bit of a conversion myself into the Traditional Latin Mass.” “I am, as many of us are, an amphibian. I exist mainly in the Novus Ordo, because that is the reality in which I live, and the Church that I have been called to serve at the moment.” He has “no problems with the Novus Ordo”, but sees the power of the traditional Mass particularly in its reverence: “The Traditional Latin Mass has a mysticism about it, and a reverence about it, that can touch the hearts of people and draw them closer to God in a world where there are so many distractions pulling them away.” He is still learning to celebrate the Mass. Mass not primarily for educated Western people When someone told him that the Mass …Kara
“I consider him, one might say, an outstanding statesman. And today I said with a fairly high degree of conviction that President Putin, as a statesman and as a leader, is the most acceptable political figure – strange as that may sound to you – for Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, for Europe, and for the entire world,” Tokayev said in Russian. “I know him very well. He possesses the qualities that are most essential for the leader of a great country with a complicated history and with its own understanding of the strategic goals it faces,” he added.
One more person to say exactly what I have been trying to show and tell everyone I can. Putin is the greatest leader in the world today. There is no doubt about that.
More American money found on terrorists in Russia. Special forces took down a Five Eyes traitor in Khabarovsk! During operational and investigative activities, officers of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia detained a 55-year-old resident of Khabarovsk. The man is officially accused of treason.

He's been warning those crazy lunatics for too long. They won't listen as usual. 56+ countries think if they ganged up on one country they will succeed in destroying Russia and breaking her up into several sections. But it's guaranteed by GOD that "RUSSIA" WILL BE SAVED"!

Trump Wants to Get His Hands on the Power of the Purse nytimes.com/2026/09/30/opinion/trump-vance-fraud-… Sept. 30, 2026, 5:09 a.m. ET By Jamelle Bouie Opinion Columnist Since March, Vice President JD Vance has been tasked with rooting out any fraud perpetrated against the federal government. “This is a very big thing that we’re doing,” President Trump said when he announced the task force. “If we found half of the fraud that’s taking place in this country — and I think you have a chance of doing that — we would have much more than a balanced budget.” The White House says that since then it has “uncovered” hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud and “stopped” tens of billions in ongoing fraud. But, as my newsroom colleague Linda Qiu notes in a recent report, “It is difficult to verify those figures because there is no publicly available breakdown of the total.” And while fraud is real, there has been no independent verification of the administration’s claims. They’re asking us, in …Kara
How Meta Uses A.I. Data Centers to Avoid Billions in Federal Taxes nytimes.com/…6/09/30/technology/meta-ai-data-cent… Meta is exploiting a lucrative tax break intended to support research and experimentation. Its own accountants say the gambit is risky. By Kashmir HillJesse DruckerEli Tan and Mike Isaac Sept. 30, 2026 Mark Zuckerberg says Meta’s A.I. push is a tremendous success. “Our investments in A.I. are accelerating every major part of our core business,” he has toldinvestors. “Every sign that we’re seeing in our own work and across the industry gives us confidence in this investment.” But when Meta files its taxes, it tells the Internal Revenue Service a different story. It claims that its A.I. data centers are a giant experiment that could fail, according to four people with knowledge of the company’s operations. It does this so it can tap into a tax credit intended for research and experimentation. It’s an aggressive interpretation of the tax break, which Meta embraced to …Kara
