U.S. sailors are freaking out off the coast of Iran—literally: “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” write the terrified sailors as they lose their minds. What happened? A nine-month voyage to the shores of Iran. ---- Well, we’ve actually finished fighting. The crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is freaking out. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” say the terrified sailors; some are trying to jump overboard. So what happened, you ask? It’s just a mission off the coast of Iran that’s already been dragging on for nine months. ---- The sailors’ wives have panicked. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” a sailor from the aircraft carrier messaged his wife via instant messaging. So many such messages from the crew have come in that the information has already leaked to the press. The situation aboard the Abraham Lincoln was reported not only by specialized military publications such as *Navy Times* and *Stars and Stripes*, but also by the British newspaper *The Guardian* ---- “*Navy …More

Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna wrote an editorial for the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption without stating the bodily dimension of the Marian feast and the eternal destiny of man. The cardinal reflects on Mary, war, peace, fraternity, and the divisions of our age, but his interpretation of the feast repeatedly turns the reader’s attention back toward earthly concerns. Some key passages: - “The reunion with the Son, in the bosom of the Father—this is the meaning of the Assumption.” - “Yes, Mary is assumed into heaven. But she still stands beneath the Cross.” - “The mystery of Mary, assumed into heaven by her Son, invites us to take up again the weaving of fraternity among peoples as the heart of the Church’s mission today.” - “A Mother in heaven who teaches us to be brothers and sisters all together on Earth.” The editorial then moves through war, democracy, the global economy, the condition of women, poverty, digital culture, human relationships …More
Developing story… Yes. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has scrapped its proposal to install additional Islamic foot-washing (ablution/wudu) stations. The plan would have added one station inside an existing men’s restroom and one inside an existing women’s restroom on the pre-security side of Terminal D (the international terminal). It was still in the evaluation phase (not fully approved), with a state filing listing an estimated cost in the $115,000–$300,000 range and a potential late-2026 timeline. DFW said it accelerated its review due to elevated public interest this week and determined the project “would not deliver the originally anticipated operational benefits.” DFW already has two ablution stations (installed around 2019) beside the Terminal D Interfaith Chapel near Gate D40 on the post-security side. Reports indicate the cancellation applies only to the proposed new restroom stations; there has been no announcement about removing the existing ones. Texas Gov. …More
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Angelo Accattino as Nuncio to Colombia. He had until now served as Nuncio to Tanzania. Monsignor Accattino appears to be a reliable institutional exponent of the Francis pontificate: he praised Francis's magisterium as “firm and secure” and spoke positively of Amoris Laetitia. He embraced the Amazon Synod process and the Synod on Synodality. In 2026, he explicitly spoke of "journeying together as a Synodal Church". His online profile emphasizes ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, social justice, and the characteristic pastoral vocabulary of the Francis era.
In God's reality, Moses was the first Bishop, the lineage of Aaron the first priests, and the Sons of Levi the lineage of deacons. Of the true Israel, the Catholic Church. With the incarnation of God our Lord and Savior, these blood lines started pretending they were Semites, even Jews. As our Lord tells us Revelation 3:9: "I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—come and bow down before your feet."
Interesting video. Thank you Pierre. Check out the link I posted below. Well they can try all they want. They have tried for decades to take out Putin. Either by many assassination attempts or replacing him. They (US and NATO AND EU) are planning a huge coup in Russia soon. "IF" it's GOD Will, it might be time for him to be replaced. But I don't think GOD is done with Putin from preventing WWlll. Just yet! But I see it coming very quickly now. I can only hope that GOD will prevent the coup from happening. Even if it happens, they usually grow closer to Putin and love and protect him even more. We will protect him. The people of Russia! "Putin! Nobody will arrest him" Russians react to Putin's arrest warrant

"Not sure we've heard the last word from this pontificate on Traditionis Custodes." [rorate-caeli] In an interview granted yesterday to Raymond Arroyo of EWTN, the Archbishop of Oklahoma City and President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Abp. Paul Coakley, had choice words on the Traditional Latin Mass and the Francis document that aimed to gradually annihilate it, Traditionis Custodes: This is the specific part of the interview dedicated to it (our transcript): Raymond Arroyo: The fight over the Traditional Latin Mass isn't going away. Cardinal Arthur Roche told The Tablet in July that Pope Leo is not going to change Traditionis Custodes—Summorum Pontificum being Benedict's liberality, if you will, to celebrate the old traditional rite whenever and wherever it was celebrated or a priest wanted to celebrate it. After the SSPX illicit episcopal consecrations last month, you were among a handful of U.S. bishops who told the faithful in your dioceses not to attend the …More
Friday, 15th August 1913 Women Tell of Seeing Frank On Way to and From Factory On Day That Girl Was Murdered, The Atlanta Constitution Atlanta Constitution August 15th, 1913 The first of a chain of witnesses who were produced to prove Frank's movements during the time he left the pencil factory for dinner was Miss Helen K. Curran, a pretty stenographer, who stated that she met him at Jacobs' pharmacy on Whitehall street and Alabama. She was questioned by Mr. Arnold. "Where were you on April 26?" "A little after 1 o'clock I was standing at Jacobs' drug store at Whitehall and Alabama streets. It was about 2:05 o'clock." "Did you see Frank?" "I had been standing for five minutes on the corner when I turned around and saw him standing against the wall." "What time was it?" "About 10 minutes after one." Father Works for Montag. Hooper began cross-examination. "Your father works for Montag?" "Yes." "There was a big crowd on the streets on the 26th, wasn't there?" "Yes." "Wasn't the corner at …More
Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters with Excommunication: On August 14, Bishop Michael F. Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, issued a “pastoral” letter concerning the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) — using sharp and decidedly unsynodal language. He warns that knowingly providing public, organizational, material, or financial support to FSSPX communities is "objectively sinful" and "can result in excommunication." Bishop Olson even described the FSSPX as a “self-formed and schismatic sect.” He specifically mentioned two FSSPX churches within his diocese — Our Lady of Mount Carmel in North Richland Hills and Our Lady of Fatima in Sanger — as well as the former Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Arlington, whose nuns have been in open conflict with Bishop Olson for years.
Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters With Excommunication
Very pastoral of the bishop. It is remarkable that the "listening", "Synodal" church refuses to listen to the clear, respectful questions raised by the SSPX. Is it possible that their agenda cannot stand up to clear and objective review.
Pastoral Letter of Bishop Michael F. Olson to the Faithful of the Diocese of Fort Worth Concerning the Holy See’s Declarations on the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), the Schismatic Status and Excommunication of SSPX Sacred Ministers, and the Canonical and Spiritual Risks of all Faithful Participating in SSPX Celebrations and Activities Source: fwdioc.org
>>The Catholic Church has survived corrupt popes, inept bishops, foolish pastoral decisions, and periods of great moral collapse throughout her history. Yet, Christ’s promises do not permit that the Holy Spirit’s ordinary work has departed from the visible structures of the Catholic Church and relocated to a self-formed and schismatic sect that sets itself apart from the doctrine and organic structures of the Catholic Church as founded by Christ and guaranteed by the Holy Spirit.<<
Friday, 15th August 1913 Wife and Mother of Frank Are Permitted to Remain in Court, The Atlanta Constitution Atlanta Constitution August 15th, 1913 At the opening of the morning session yesterday Solicitor Dorsey motioned for the court to exclude the wife and mother of Leo M. Frank, Mrs. Lucille Frank and Mrs. Rae Frank, on account of the sensational outburst of the mother Wednesday afternoon, when she denounced the solicitor for attacking the character of her son. In reply to the solicitor's move to have the mother and wife of the defendant excluded from the court room, Attorney Arnold made a strong speech in their behalf, saying: "It is a new doctrine to me where a wife and mother of the defendant cannot sit in court with him in the hour of his trial. I promise there will be no more outbreaks in court. Mrs. Frank, his wife, has sat through the trial, quietly and orderly. My friend's conduct, I would think (meaning Dorsey) was a little more culpable than that of the mother's. A man, …More
