"There is always a remedy provided through Christ's Passion, for defending themselves against the wicked snares of the demons, even in Antichrist's time." — St. Thomas Aquinas
Jean-Marie Vianney ~ ‘SERMONS OF THE CURE OF ARS – EXCERPTS’ ~ ‘FOLLOW ONE MASTER ONLY, etc., …’ ~ pages 14-15 [Saint John Vianney, XVIII-XIX Century, (aged 73), born: Dardilly, Lyonnais, Kingdom of France/died: Ars-sur-Formans, Ain, French Empire, Cure d’Ars, French Priest, patron saint of parish priests] FOLLOW ONE MASTER ONLY What a sad life does he lead who wants both to please the world and to serve God! It is a great mistake to make, my friends. Apart from the fact that you are going to be unhappy all the time, you can never attain the stage at which you will be able to please the world and please God. It is as impossible a feat as trying to put an end to eternity. Take the advice that I am going to give you now and you will be less unhappy: give yourselves wholly to God or else wholly to the world. Do not look for and do not serve more than one master, and once you have chosen the one you are going to follow, do not leave him. You surely remember what Jesus Christ said to you in …More

"Clear abuse of office" - Cardinal Müller criticises German bishops for their anti-AfD stance. After the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller accused German bishops of interfering in party politics in an interview with Kontrafunk.radio on 11 September. When asked about the [Berlin Archbishop Heiner Koch's] idea that the Church could do without Catholics who vote the 'wrong' way, Müller responded: "In my view, this is quite simply a clear abuse of office." The Church, he added, is "not a trade union". "When it comes to party-political preferences, bishops have no right to call into question the civil rights of Catholics." Müller also dismissed comparisons between the AfD and National Socialism as "far-fetched". Nazism was an ideology that was incompatible with Christianity. By contrast, the AfD has "a political programme that every individual citizen can judge for themselves". His message to Germany’s bishops: "Bishops …More
Audiobook on The Life of Gabrielle Lefebvre (Mother of a Family) by Rev. Fr. Le Crom; with thanks to Br. Anthony Neyrot for providing the narration for this video. This is the story of the mother of the Lefebvre Family — the mother of Archbishop Lefebvre — told by her spiritual director. Family tradition records that she would only embrace her new-born children after their baptism, at the same time invoking their destiny. Thus, after the baptism of the future Archbishop, she said: "He will have a great role to play in Holy Church, at Rome, near the Holy Father." " It is by sanctifying myself that I will obtain... the graces to sanctify my children. Education — above all maternal education — is in fact much more of an outpouring of the soul than a syllabus for a teacher." While describing her strong commitment to the ordinary way of salvation, the author also reveals some of what is known about her extraordinary mysticism as a stigmatist in a very active life.

Did the mother of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre have the stigmata? I am only half way through this audiobook and I never thought she was as Holy as she was. I knew she had to be by her children and Archbishop Lefebvre. But this really surprised me.
Dorado draws his own conclusion: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” He explained his ecclesiology with the explicit analogy to John the Baptist's words in John 3:30, "He must increase, but I must decrease."
Leo XIV appoints Archbishop: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Father Mario León Dorado, 52 — a T-shirt guy and an adherent of the heretical Abu Dhabi program — as Coadjutor Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco. Born in Madrid, Dorado joined the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1996 and was ordained a priest in 2001. He has served as Apostolic Prefect of Western Sahara since 2013. “The Church is called to disappear” In September 2022, he wrote a reflection on his almost two decades of missionary work in an extraordinarily small Catholic community. His experience is that authentic love makes it possible to welcome the other without the 'need to change him'.

Douay Translation of Luke 21:25-28 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves; 26 Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved; 27 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty. 28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.

"Now among all afflictions, three of the greatest and most terrible are shortly to come upon mankind: first, the affliction of Antichrist, a man but a diabolical one; second, the destruction by fire of the terrestrial world; third, the universal judgment. And with these tribulations the world will come to an end."
Pepe Escobar Yemen Rocks the Gate of Tears Ansarallah now has the luxury of installing a toll gate, arguably multi-layered, in the Bab al-Mandab, if they want it. No less than 25 years after 9/11, the Angel of History once again delivers a powerful kick. Five years ago, we had the astonishing imperial humiliation in Afghanistan, accomplished in a matter of days. Now, we have the astonishing humiliation of Epstein Syndicate vassal Saudi Arabia in Yemen, also accomplished in a matter of days. Serial humiliations now follow the Empire’s path like a plague – and we’re not even talking about the impending, stratospheric, twin strategic defeats in West Asia and the black soil of Novorossiya. Emperors’ heads used to roll in Ancient “Divide and Rule” Rome for much less. The overall collapse of the Saudi mercenary gangs in Yemen is so swift that even Epstein Syndicate mainstream media has been forced to acknowledge it. The Ansarallah Rolling Thunder is seizing cities; islands; capturing thousands …More
Love God More, Fear Nothing Else The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of fearing God, not in a servile sense, but with filial fear, which is rooted in love. This fear of offending God, born out of love, leads to confidence and peace, even in the face of death. By focusing on loving God and living a life for Him, we can overcome fear and find true freedom. Fr.

Brazilian bishop’s Mass includes heretical creed featuring ‘goddess,’ ‘sexual diversity’
A heterodox creed invoking a “God/Goddess” and featuring left-wing political language was recited at the annual “Cry of the Excluded” Mass celebrated by Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes of Brejo, Brazil.
WHITE SMOKE 1958 -63- REFLECTION The most important point to consider regarding the 1958 conclave—a point that no one dares to raise, yet must be raised—is that the white smoke was not a false alarm: a Pope was indeed elected around 5:50 p.m.; in fact, Vatican Radio clearly announced it around 6:00 p.m.; but here’s the thing: the new Pope never appeared! What’s more, the conclave continued in the days that followed. Did the ceremonial officials make a mistake by putting dry straw in the stove instead of wet straw? Not at all! Did Vatican Radio make a mistake by announcing Habemus Papam? Not at all! We must therefore conclude that something serious happened, and that is where imaginations have concocted scenarios that make no sense. The only valid explanation is that the Pope resigned under duress to make way for an intruder: the Guardian of the Obstacle was defeated in 40 minutes. If we are not convinced by this undeniable outward sign, the fruits that have come of it must convince us:…More
