Conservative Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, published a “counter-view” to the teaching that Judas has earned his place in hell on FoxNews.com on Palm Sunday. Monsignor Barron's main arguments for having hope for Judas' salvation - Judas shows repentance: "Judas, the betrayer, deeply regretted what he had done: 'I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.'" "This is not callous indifference or self-justification. This is a clear and honest admission of guilt." - The Church has never declared that Judas is in hell: "St. Pope John Paul II insisted that the Church has never made a definitive statement regarding whether any particular person is in hell." "Pope Benedict said that we should suspend judgement regarding Judas and commit him to the mercy and justice of God." - Suicide does not guarantee damnation: "We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives.' 'By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary …Aktar
Christ said this concerning Judas ' It would have been better for him had he not been born. ' Also, Judas despaired and committed suicide. Hell is where he is.
Girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever before — and the numbers are shocking. In the late 1800s, the average age was around 16–17. By the early 1900s it had dropped to 12.5–13. Today it’s down to about 11, with some Black and Hispanic girls showing signs as early as 8, 9, or even 6–7 years old — the earliest recorded in history. Patrick Bet-David asked FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary why this is happening. Makary pointed to the modern environment: constant exposure to substances and chemicals with estrogen-like binding properties (found even in river water) that partially activate estrogen receptors. He called it a “huge issue” and an existential threat to human development, noting the age has been dropping by about a week and a half every year for the last 30 years. He also mentioned that in Europe, where some of these exposures may be lower, puberty still starts later (14–15 in some cases), and that American medicine has largely treated this as a minor footnote rather than …Aktar
To be clear, in the case of heresy it is God who judges it because the Catholic Faith is revealed by God. The Pope is in effect judged by God as a heretic when he rejects the faith. Any man can identify the Pope as a heretic freely without any problem in that case. The man is not judging the Pope, the Pope has already been judged by God. The man is simply expressing an existing judgement.
What's odd about this, is that I just commented twice, what goes around, comes around. Both good and bad. I saw it all my life. Then I see this. After giving tens of thousands of tons of aid to several countries. Including sending teachers and professors to Burkino Faso, Russia found another oil filed in February. And now this. For his love and kindness Russia once again is rewarded. With tens of thousands of sanctions and more constantly being added, she should have been destroyed by now. But it's plain to see, Heaven will never allow that. Who can't see this?

During the January consistory, Leo XIV told Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, France, of his wish to explore avenues for resolving the tensions surrounding the Roman rite, La-croix.com reports, citing anonymous sources. One bishop, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that Leo XIV is allegedly "extremely interested in the question and asked us to think something through". Another bishop, who has spoken with Leo XIV about the Roman rite, said that "for the Pope, what is done in France serves as a model" for other countries. "It is the first time I have heard so clearly that the subject must be addressed at a theological level and not just in a pastoral and emotional way," he added. Another anonymous bishop, from the southeast, said: "Behind the attraction to beauty and the sacred, there is a whole theological debate that some do not perceive: a distant God versus a God who draws near - encompassing a whole relationship with the world, freedom of conscience and interreligious …Aktar
Good, Leo. Check out what Benedict XVI did in the way of trying to solve tensions. But unless you change the other aberrations of Francis, not many will trust your intentions towards the Traditional Mass.
"...only because..." It is not "only because". There are many, many reasons for this. The reason listed is perhaps one of the chief ones, but it is not the core of the issue. We are given the bishops we deserve.
Mikhail is describing blind obedience. I suppose if you have not the gift of faith you might mistake it as blind obedience. It is not blind at all. Faith allows you to recognise truth.
One of the main reason for the emergence of Islam is the west's allowing the Holocaust crowd perpetually denying of God's mercy from generation to generation even to the point of neutering the dignity of nations. A grave sin. Some people and nations see teachings of mercy and dignity in Islam, so the common sense finds a home in Islam (in my opinion temporarily).
The prot's are totally lost and love it that way. Every single person as well as every single fake religion they have all believe in a different Christ. And most hate The Blessed Mother. With some who say, she is a good woman.

Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israeli authorities to grant Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusal “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He reversed an earlier decision after Israeli police blocked the Cardinal and few other priests from entering the holy site during Palm Sunday celebrations. The disproportionate restriction triggered strong international criticism from political leaders. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog personally apologized to the Cardinal following the incident. The video below shows the empty, silent streets of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, devoid of the procession, olive and palm branches, and the cheers of the faithful. #newsOnyraezrlx
The streets are void the article says. Hmm, no processions, no faithful equals no tourism. No tourism equals no money. Hotels, restaurants, shops, all are empty.
