Augustinians to Close Cork Church After 800 Years: After nearly 800 years in Cork, Ireland, the Order of St Augustine will close St Augustine’s Church this July. The decision, described as being taken with “great sadness,” follows an accelerating decline in vocations that began in the mid-1970s. Of the 70 Augustinian priests in Ireland, only 10 are under 70. The Cork community is now down to just three members.
Religious order to end near 800-year association with Cork when it closes church in city centre
A religious community which has been ministering to the people of Cork for almost 800 years its to close its church in the city centre later this year. Vicar Provincial of the Augustinians in Ireland, Fr Paddy O’Reilly, told the congregation attending a Vigil Mass at St Augustine’s on Washington Street on Saturday that the order was closing the church in July due to falling vocations. O’Reilly told Mass-goers that the decision to close St Augustine’s was taken with “great sadness”. He said that since the mid-1970s, the order had experienced “a slow but accelerating decline in vocations”. According to the Order of St Augustine website, it has 70 priests living in 10 locations in Ireland. READ MORE O’Reilly told worshippers that only 10 of these priests are under the age of 70 and more than half its members are over 80. It is understood that St Augustine’s, which was run with the consent of the Bishop of Cork and Ross, is now home to just three Augustinian priests following the deaths …
It would be nice if “Fr. Paddy” (as I’m sure he’s now known) would own up to the fact that he and his Modernist confreres bare as much responsibility for the collapsing membership as any of the other supporters of the Conciliar Church. He’d have to have been living in a cave not to realize that he could revive his membership almost overnight by simply offering the Traditional Latin Mass once a week. Indeed, if he were to offer it exclusively, as well as denouncing the false and heretical teachings of Vatican II (such as Ecumenism, Religious Liberty and Collegiality), the church would be as crowded as it was a hundred years ago. Yet, he won’t do that. He’ll put the church on the market and allow the once sacred space to be turned into a restaurant, a hotel, or even an Islamic mosque. One thing is for certain, however. He will never sell it to the SSPX no matter how generous the offer may be. After all, the Society is authentically Catholic. I shed not a tear for them.

Leo XIV has appointed Archbishop Mário Antônio da Silva, 59, as the new Archbishop of Aparecida. The archdiocese is significant because it houses Brazil's National Shrine. Born on October 17, 1966, he was ordained a priest on December 21, 1991, for the Diocese of Jacarezinho. Benedict XVI appointed him as Auxiliary Bishop of Manaus in 2010. Francis promoted him to Bishop of Roraima in 2016 and to Archbishop of Cuiabá in 2022. He is President of Caritas Brazil. Monsignor da Silva participated in the Amazon Synod in October 2019. He was among the drafting committee responsible for preparing the Synod's final document. Wisdom of the Indigenous and Hugging Trees In October 2019, during the Amazon Synod, Bishop da Silva used all of Francis’ buzzwords. The Synod provided an opportunity to “listen to the voice of the Amazon” and to open “new paths” for the Church and integral ecology. He also supported the concept of “ecological conversion”. He called the Synod “an opportunity to get in …Hafa
"Today, we have a pope who views Ukraine through the lens of the European context," Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kyiv, the Primate of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, told Ugcc.ua on February 4 (an in-house interview on the website of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church). Archbishop Shevchuk summarized various statements from Leo XIV in recent months: "This is a war in Europe, and Europe must be a party to the negotiations. We cannot negotiate about Ukraine at the level of, say, the U.S. and Russia." According to Monsignor Shevchuk "we have not heard such a clear position for a long time." He noted Leo XIV’s use of the phrase, 'Constitution of Ukraine': "I had never heard this term used in international discourse before – for some reason, it had fallen out of use. And the Pope emphasized that today it is impossible to seek any ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine without respecting the Constitution of Ukraine." He added: "It was a very professional and carefully worded statement – simply …Hafa
Of course he would. The same man who said that Traditionalists are dangerous. Anyone who would side with Ukraine is on the side of the globalists. Plain and simple. This so called Pope we have now is just like bergogilo. Both are part of the new world order who wants to destroy The Catholic Church and make a one world religion with their one world order. Anyone with a brain cell knows this by now. But that's ok, they are going to cause the Consecration of Russia to The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Then all evil will all be destroyed. Thank GOD!

An unpublished letter by Benedict XVI on Christian prayer, dated April 27, 2021, has been published in the Italian book ‘La fede del futuro’. His short meditation. In general, prayer is the fundamental religious act. It is an attempt to establish a direct connection with God. The peculiarity of Christian prayer is that one prays with Jesus Christ and to Him simultaneously. As both man and God, Jesus can be the bridge that overcomes the infinite abyss between God and man. In this sense, Christ is the ontological possibility of prayer. For this reason, he is also the practical guide to prayer. His disciples, who had seen him pray, addressed this request to him: "Lord, teach us to pray" (Lk 11:1). They recalled that John the Baptist had taught his disciples to pray, knowing that Jesus was infinitely closer to God than even the greatest religious figure: John the Baptist. Thus, the two fundamental characteristics of prayer emerge: those relative to being and awareness. These two characteristics …Hafa

“Everyone, truly Everyone!” Leo XIV preached pacifism during his visit to the Ascension Parish in eastern Rome on Sunday. He demands a “logic of unconditional love, of abandoning every defense that becomes offense”. Furthermore, Leo XIV applauded the parish for its “journey to strengthen the sense of belonging and welcome, with open arms, of everyone, truly everyone”. Meanwhile, a Brazil bishop threatens Catholics of the Roman rite with excommunication.

Sometimes wars MUST be fought. If there were never any wars, everything might today be part of the Roman Empire. If not for the Crusades, we would all be under Moslem leadership. War is a punishment for sin, but nations have a right and a moral obligation to keep their countries safe and that means war oftentimes cannot be avoided.
Visiting Roman parish this afternoon, Pope reiterated his Angelus plea: “I'm deeply concerned, and we don't know how many days it will last, about the situation in the Middle East. War again! And we must be heralds of Jesus' peace, which God desires for everyone! We must pray much for peace, live in unity, and reject the temptation to harm others; violence is never the right choice.”

A California school secretly socially transitioned a mother’s 13-year-old daughter. When she demanded it stop, Child Protective Services was sent to her home. The next day, police showed up. Children are not property of the state. In America, parents — not bureaucrats — decide how their children are raised.
100%! They are trying to usher in the antichrist. Some say trump is being told lies. But I don't buy that at all. And if he is being told by those who are working against him, then it's worse than we thought. He is not his own person. And he is owned. And we know by whom he is owned. Trying to hide the epstein files and what he did. And protecting his family as well.
The cost for Leo XIV’s one-and-a-half-day stay in Madrid exceeds €30 million, InfoVaticana.com has learned. This amount corresponds exclusively to the Madrid leg of the trip. The papal visit from June 6 to 12 will also include Barcelona and the Canary Islands (Tenerife and Gran Canaria). The Madrid Archdiocese is appealing to the faithful and businesses for financial support. Significant resources are needed for temporary infrastructure, logistics, venue refurbishment, technical production, additional private security, transportation, institutional coordination and other items typical of a large-scale event. For historical reference, the 2011 World Youth Day in Madrid with Benedict XVI had an overall organizational cost of around €50-60 million, but that event was longer and had an international dimension.
