Saint Pio of Pietrelcina Feast September 23 Francesco was born in the small Italian village of Pietrelcina on May 25, 1887. His parents, Grazio Forgione and Maria Giuseppa Di Nunzio, were peasant farmers, but they recognized their son was close to God. When he was only five years old, he solemnly consecrated himself to Jesus. It is said he often spoke with Our Lord, Our Lady and his guardian angel, who defended him against attacks by the devil. He joined the Capuchin Franciscans at the age of fifteen, and took the name Pio with his religious vows. After seven years of study he was ordained to the priesthood in 1910. During the same month he was ordained, Padre Pio was praying in the chapel when Our Lord and His Blessed Mother appeared and gave him the Stigmata. However, the wounds soon faded and then disappeared. “I do want to suffer, even to die of suffering,” Padre Pio told Our Lady, “but all in secret." Soon after, he experienced the first of his spiritual ecstasies. Pio was in the …เพิ่มเติม

Leo XIV’s Prayer Intention Is … for the Care of Water: In September 2026, Leo XIV invites Catholics around the world to pray for the care of water. In his monthly prayer intention, he reminds Christians that access to clean water should be a right. “We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders.” He encourages Christians to reject waste and pollution and to use natural resources responsibly. Caring for water, he says, is both an expression of love for creation and an act of solidarity with the poor.
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of September is to pray for care of water: “Lord of Life, you have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We thank you because it is also a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through baptism. Today, we ask you to teach us to safeguard it with gratitude, justice, and responsibility. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. We see with pain, so many brothers and sisters, who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. May your Spirit make us pilgrims of the essential, able to live with simplicity, denouncing waste and pollution, defending the right of every brother and sister to drink without fear and without inequality. May our care for water, be a sign of love for the Creator, and a commitment to the lives of …เพิ่มเติม
Is this prayer for my ears or for God’s? Is this weaponised virtue signalling or a sincere prayer to God. Because if it is to God the prayer could be recited in Latin a language God knows well!

Leo XIV awards Ratzinger Prize to theologian who attacked Benedict XVI’s Summorum Pontificum. John C. Cavadini will be awarded with the 2026 Ratzinger Prize, announced today by the Joseph Ratzinger–Benedict XVI Vatican Foundation. Pope Leo XIV will present the prize on December 19 at the Apostolic Palace. Cavadini, a professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, has written extensively on Ratzinger. Benedict XVI. appointed him to the International Theological Commission in 2009. Cavadini is an explicit critic of Benedict's Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum that liberalized the traditional Roman rite. In 2022, the three "conservatives" Cavadini, Mary Healy and Fr Thomas Weinandy published a series in Notre Dame’s Church Life Journal on the post-Vatican II liturgical reform. “In normalizing the Tridentine Mass, Benedict undermined the principle by which, as he himself insists, Vatican II must be interpreted: a hermeneutic of continuity,” they wrote. They went further …เพิ่มเติม
The Ratzinger-Frings attack on the Holy Office (1963) On 8 November 1963, Card. Frings declared in the Conciliar aula: “The Holy Office’s manner of conducting itself in many spheres is not in step with our times, is detrimental to the Church, and is a cause of scandal for many.” He was, of course, speaking from a script known to have been previously dictated by Ratzinger.2 Peter Seewald commented that “no one had ever dared before to criticize Ottaviani’s machinery so fiercely.” 3 It is a well recorded fact in the annals of the Council that Card. Ottaviani was several times publicly humiliated by progressivist reformers, especially from Germany, in a manner that defied both Christian charity and the gentlemanly code of ethics. The Frings/Ratzinger broadside, which constituted one of the Council’s most emotionally-charged and dramatic events, was no exception.

So sieht die Antenne für den Empfang des Signals aus, das die Rasswet Satelliten senden. Bald bei vielen in Russland zu sehen. Der Selenskij Berater Beskrestnow befürchtet, dass Russland unerwartet schnell die Gruppe von Satelliten "Rasswet" entfalten könnte, was zu einem grossen Problem für die AFU wird, weil dieses System eine Steuerung von Drohnen und Raketen online erlaubt. "Russland ist eine Weltraum-Nation und es kann sein, dass eine Angara-Rakete (russischer Weltraumfrachter mit 25 Tonnen Nutzlast) mit nur einem Start "ganz unerwartet" die Hälfte der Satelliten Gruppe "Rasswet " in die Umlaufbahn bringen kann. Anm.d.Red. Obwohl sich Russland bedeckt hält, liegt der Schluss nahe, dass die spürbar gestiegene Effektivität und Zielgenauigkeit der Angriffe im tiefen ukrainischen Hinterland auf das bereits teilweise entfaltete "Rasswet" System zurückzuführen sind.

“Conservative” Auxiliary Bishop Josef Graf of Regensburg, Germany, can envision ordaining married men to the priesthood. Monsignor Graf made this remarks during a holiday in San Genesio, South Tyrol, where he also helped with the grape harvest in a local vineyard. He told Bz-bx.net: “I personally believe that the Church could afford viri probati”. He added that married priests would probably not solve the shortage of priests. On the ordination of women to the priesthood, Monsignor Graf said he believes it is “not possible.” He pointed there are “still” weighty theological reasons for reserving Holy Orders to men. #newsAdwjzpyvzr
Oddly enough, I can 'envision' waking up and discovering a Church which nurtures vocations by holding to the Faith rather than deviating from it to suit the needs of prelates who should never have been ordained in the first place.
Mature married men have worked out as well in the parishes founded by Anglicans who converted to Catholicism and, of course, historically in the Eastern Churches, so I don't see what people are worrying about. As long as they don't offer ordination to married men under the age of, say, 45 or 50, I think they'd make an excellent and much needed source of new priests.
A 'ritual concert' featuring shamanic elements was held inside a medieval Spanish church.

The event featured ancestral chants, improvisation and music presented as a bridge between the human and "the sacred".

Israeli Settler Who Attacked French Catholic Nun Acquitted The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court has acquitted Yona Simcha Schreiber, 36, of criminal responsibility for a violent attack on a French Catholic nun in April. The court accepted psychiatric evidence that he was psychotic at the time of the assault. He could neither understand the nature of his actions nor control them, the court ruled. He was ordered to undergo compulsory psychiatric hospitalization for up to six years. The attack occurred on Mount Zion, near King David’s Tomb outside Jerusalem’s Old City. Security footage showed Schreiber running toward the 48-year-old nun from behind and knocking her violently to the ground, causing her head to strike the stone pavement. Schreiber initially walked away before returning and kicking the nun while she remained on the ground. He also assaulted a passerby who attempted to intervene. The victim is a researcher at the Dominican-run École Biblique et Archéologique Française de Jérusalem. …เพิ่มเติม
Gregory Baum, a Jewish convert to Catholicism and Augustinian priest, authored the first draft of Nostra Aetate as a theological expert at Vatican II. In his 2016 memoir, Baum revealed he had kept his homosexual relationships private during the Council, saying disclosure "would have reduced my influence as a critical theologian." Baum left the priesthood in 1974 and became an outspoken critic of Humanae Vitae, reportedly playing a significant role in the Canadian bishops' 1968 "Winnipeg Statement," which opened the door to dissent from Church teaching on contraception. He later called himself the first Catholic theologian to publicly defend homosexual relationships and remained a prominent advocate for liberation theology.
Gregory Baum, what a loser! Augustinian priest that was not celibate; in a disordered relationship. Promoter of the Communistic doctrine of Liberation Theology. No wonder the results produced by Vatican II were wretched!
