Bishop Ángel Javier Pérez Pueyo of Barbastro-Monzón, Spain, has said he would offer his resignation rather than sign a settlement under which the statue of Our Lady of the Angels of Torreciudad remains permanently at the Opus Dei sanctuary. The bishop drew his red line in a public letter on 31 August, ahead of the image’s return to its ancient hermitage on 5 September for the 47th Pilgrimage of the Virgins of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe. That return is temporary. It has been authorized by Archbishop Alejandro Arellano Cedillo, the pontifical commissioner for Torreciudad. After the pilgrimage, the image is due to return to the sanctuary. Bishop Pérez Pueyo’s threat concerns the final settlement: he refuses to accept an arrangement under which the statue remains there permanently and returns to the hermitage only on special occasions. He would "never sign such an unlikely act of plundering your dignity," he wrote, adding he would instead offer his resignation. The dispute has effectively been …Daha çox
XIV. Leo’nun Dua Konusu… Suya Özen Göstermek: Eylül 2026’da XIV. Leo, dünyanın dört bir yanındaki Katolikleri suya özen göstermek için dua etmeye davet ediyor. Aylık dua konusunu açıklarken, Hıristiyanlara temiz suya erişimin bir hak olması gerektiğini hatırlatıyor. “Suyun evrensel bir armağan, sınır tanımayan bir hak olduğunu unutarak onu bir meta haline getirdiğimiz için af diliyoruz.” Hıristiyanları israfı ve kirliliği reddetmeye ve doğal kaynakları sorumlu bir şekilde kullanmaya teşvik ediyor. Suyun korunması, diyor, hem yaratılışa duyulan sevginin bir ifadesi hem de yoksullara karşı bir dayanışma eylemidir.
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 …Daha çox

After repeated Senate opposition, the National Assembly approved the euthanasia law on July 15. The Constitutional Council upheld the contested provisions on August 14. The law was promulgated on August 18.

Leo XIV personally intervened to stop VaticanNews.va from using the artwork of Father Marko Rupnik, according to Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes. Rupnik has been accused by numerous women of fornication and sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse. In an interview with Paris Match (August 31), Bishop Micas described a private audience with Leo XIV in June 2025. The pope asked him how Lourdes was dealing with Rupnik’s asymmetrical mosaics and the big black eyes. Leo XIV supported the bishop’s approach to cover the mosaics. Then, Leo XIV mentioned that he had instructed the Holy See’s communications office to stop using Rupnik’s mosaics to illustrate articles. “He is truly very determined on this issue,” Bishop Micas said. Rupnik’s work quietly disappeared from VaticanNews.va in June 2025, shortly after Leo XIV’s election. However, the canonical case against the Slovenian priest remains ongoing and is clearly delayed, even years after the allegations against him became public …Daha çox

HustleBitch @HustleBitch_ A NEUROLOGIST SHOWED A 10-SECOND DEMENTIA TEST — AND PEOPLE ARE PANICKING AFTER TRYING IT AT HOME A neurologist just demonstrated one of the simplest brain checks you can do without a hospital visit. Fist. Edge. Palm. Repeat it in a smooth sequence. That’s the Luria test. It measures motor control, executive function, and whether your brain can keep a pattern going. For most people it’s easy. For others, the movement falls apart. They get stuck repeating the same motion or lose the order completely. The doctor said studies show only about 2% of people with normal cognition struggle with it. In Alzheimer’s patients, that jumps to more than 50%. In frontotemporal dementia, almost 70%. Then he made the part everyone skipped: this is not a diagnosis. It’s a quick screening test. That has not stopped the comments from filling with people who just failed it on their couch and immediately spiraled. Would you try this at home ?

New crusade of the Vatican - the doctrine of lies: “Let us not retreat into our own convictions and religious certainties. This may ask us to follow unfamiliar paths and to make choices different from those we had imagined”. 1) Matthew 24:24; They will deceive, if posible, even the choosen. 2) There is no salvation in anyone else: a) John 14: 6; Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. b) Acts 4:12; There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” c) 1 Timothy 2:5; There is one God and one Mediator between God and mankind, Christ Jesus. 3) Hebrews 10:28-29; If anyone violates the Law of Moses, he is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severe a punishment do you think will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, treated as profane the Blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of Grace? 4) Galatians …Daha çox

Jak o wiele surowszej kary, jak sądzicie, zasłuży ten, kto zdeptał Syna Bożego, uznał za bezczelną Krew Przymierza, która go uświęciła, i znieważył Ducha Łaski? 4) List do Galatów 1:8; Ale nawet gdybyśmy my sami lub anioł z nieba głosił ewangelię inną niż ta, którą wam głosiliśmy, niech będzie przeklęty!
