Good essay. The Transfiguration also reminds the Jews (both the real ones and the non-Semitic ones) that the patriarchs of the Old Testament needed the DEATH AND RESURRECTION OUR LORD to get to Heaven. So all were waiting for this event.
Archbishop Paulo Jackson Nóbrega de Sousa of Olinda and Recife, Brazil, has warned the faithful about an “alleged baptism” celebrated at the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows in Recife’s Graças neighborhood. In a February 22 statement, the archdiocese said the rite was presided over by a man who presents himself as a bishop but has no canonical bond with the Catholic Church. Although not named in the note, the celebrant was Rodrigo Henrique Ribeiro da Silva, who identifies as a sedevacantist bishop. “The public administration of Baptism by someone not in communion with the Church, especially in a Catholic church, constitutes a gravely illicit act,” the statement said. The archdiocese acknowledged shortcomings in the authorization process, noting that greater prior verification should have taken place at the parish level. #newsZzxaoeqekw
On Saturday morning, Pope Leo XIV received a delegation from the World Council of Churches at the Vatican, reaffirming the Catholic Church’s ongoing commitment to ecumenical dialogue
"reaffirming ongoing commitment to (ecumenical) dialogue" - is this how Catholic Church speaks or man-made secular organization like NGOs or UN? Parliament of world churches in the making
How can the US and Kuwait shoot down our planes with their own intel? Doesn't sound right to me. But at least people can see now that trump is the king of liars. We don't have the biggest, strongest and most powerful military in the world. That's just a way of brainwashing the gullible and easily manipulated. Well I won't hold my breath because I can see people are still believing him and trusting him. Some of us warned that trump will be the one to cause WWlll. And here we are. Getting closer by the second. The man of peace who in the middle of talks bombs a country he said had no more nuclear facilities. Imagine that?
Brazilian authorities confirmed on February 27, that 82-year-old Ukrainian Catholic Sister Nadia Gavanski was sexually assaulted before being murdered in her convent in Ivaí, Paraná, on February 21. The final police report concluded that the suspect will be charged not only with homicide but also with rape, based on forensic findings. Sister Nadia was found partially naked and showed signs of extreme physical aggression. She was beaten to death with a piece of wood. Sister Nadia belonged to the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate, a Ukrainian Greek Catholic order. The order called the crime an “act of unjustifiable violence.” The state of Paraná is home to one of the largest Ukrainian diasporas in Latin America. Almost half of the population of Ivaí can trace their heritage back to Ukrainian immigrants who started settling in southern Brazil in the late 19. century. The suspect was arrested shortly after the crime by military police. He told the police that he had been under the …Hiroc’h
Disgusting Satanists. Poor sister, may she rest in peace. Severe punishment deserved by the guilty. I didn't know about the Ukrainian diaspora. God bless you.
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.”
Never let a crisis go a waste . Let abstract hippy theology dictate my chameleon papacy to placate religious modernist from how empty there ideas truly are. St Pope Pius X pray for us

Keir Starmer today insisted he 'stands by' his decision to snub Donald Trump's Iran strikes because they were 'not thought through' - despite a brutal rebuke from the US. Making a statement to MPs on the mounting crisis, the PM acknowledged that the president was not happy that the UK initially refused to get involved. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth went further this afternoon by swiping at 'hand-wringing' from America's long-standing allies. But in a dramatic escalations of tensions in the Special Relationship, Sir Keir insisted he did not believe in 'regime change from the skies'. 'It's my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest. That is what I've done and I stand by it.' Sir Keir is bracing for a battering from his own left-wing MPs after conducting a partial U-turn last night, agreeing that American forces can use British bases for 'defensive' actions against Iranian retaliation. As he tries to quell the backlash, the PM told the Commons: 'The use of British bases is …
Fri Feb 27, 2026 - 3:15 pm EST MONTREAL, Quebec (LifeSiteNews) — A historic Catholic church in Montreal, Canada, was reduced to near rubble in a huge blaze, the cause of which investigators still have not determined. The over 100-year-old Saint-Paul Catholic Church in Montreal, Quebec, went up in flames on February 23. A food bank next to it was also reduced to ashes. The church was built in 1910 and holds significant historical meaning for the local community. While the church has been vacant for some time, about 148 people had to flee the area due to the flames, including over 70 seniors who lived in a nearby care home. The cause of the church fire, say investigators, is not yet known; however, it comes at a time when arson attacks on Catholic churches in Canada have reached epidemic-like proportions. Mayor of the local borough of Saint-Paul’s, Véronique Fournier, in a statement on social media, said the fire is “challenging for the residents of Côte-Saint-Paul” as the church has …
The only hate and discrimination that is allowed in Canada today is towards Christians and Christian belief. Had this and other Christian churches destroyed been mosques or synagogues it would have been front page news for months. Not so with Christian churches,
@Paul Leonard Kramer WHY TRUMP IS A DANGER TO CATHOLICS Trump admitted on the air to Mark Levin that he is a Jew. He is a notorious Zionist. From the earliest days of the Church, the apostles and their disciples taught salvation is only for those who profess faith in Jesus Christ. They taught love for your enemies, and followed Jesus' teaching to turn the other cheek if someone hits you. The Jewish response was to condemn Christ to death, and to kill his disciples, beginning with St. Stephen, whom they stoned to death because they were enraged at him because he so deftly refuted all their arguments. They spread the malicious lies that the early Christians were subversives who wanted to overthrow the Empire; and their "Eucharist", the sacrifice in which the Christians offered the "body and blood of Christ", which they ate and drank, was actually a perverse ritual of infanticide and cannibalism. Emperor Nero's wife, Poppaea Sabina, was a Jewish sympathizer*, who planted those Jewish lies …Hiroc’h
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 …Hiroc’h

Blackwater Founder Fumes to Steve Bannon About Iran Strikes: ‘I Don’t Think This Was in America’s Interests’ Blackwater founder Erik Prince told Steve Bannon he was disappointed in the U.S. strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with Prince saying he did not believe the mission served “America’s interests.” Prince — who served as a Navy SEAL before founding the private military contractor in 1997 — vented he did not know what the endgame was for President Donald Trump during his appearance on Bannon’s WarRoom on Sunday. His appearance comes one day after the joint American-Israeli strikes eliminated the ayatollah and dozens of other leaders from Iran’s theocratic regime. Bannon noted it was a “spectacular” result, but Prince was not as thrilled. “Look Steve, I’m not happy about the whole thing. I don’t think this was in America’s interests,” Prince said. “It’s going to uncork a significant can of worms and chaos and destruction in Iran now.” He then …Hiroc’h
