Cardinal Domenico Battaglia of Naples wrote the foreword to a new Catholic book on transgender people, writing that “no one is excluded from the heart of God.”
Cardinal Domenico Battaglia, 63, of Naples, Italy, wrote the foreword to the book 'Transgender People'. He believes that the Church is called to "renew its gaze upon humanity". The book deals with “complex and sensitive issues,” he writes. His examples are “gender dysphoria, transgender identities, and life experiences that do not conform to traditional models.” This raises “profound questions - including for the Church.” Cardinal Battaglia proposes “a path not of condemnation, but of accompaniment”: “No one is excluded from God’s heart.” And: “No life is foreign to the mystery of salvation.” “Every person, every story - even those that seem distant or difficult to understand - carries within it the possibility of a revelation.” The book “reminds us that behind ideas there are people. People whom we must encounter, listen to, and accompany.” #newsUqdcmgjzfp
If the author hadn't introduced his commentary by mentioning G.K. Chesterton's beautiful biography of St Francis, I probably would have scrolled on by this post and missed reading the excellent article from infovaticana.com. It's short and to-the-point. I recommend it. I also highly recommend G.K. Chesterton's work on St Francis to anyone who could use an energized and joyful boost to their faith and love of God.
In the case of KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, we have a man who was thoroughly maligned in the press and by the media. In the early 1980s he wrote a book about a coming deceptive liberalization in the USSR. And here is the thing nobody can dispute: Golitsyn’s 1984 predictions about the coming of a liberal Soviet leader came true. Even more impressive, his predictions about the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, with the Communist Party giving up power, also came true. Golitsyn warned that if the West was fooled by the false liberalization in Russia, the post-Cold War era would be one of Western disarmament. In that event, Russia and China would rearm and unite together into “one clenched fist.” The West would be unable to correct the resulting power imbalance.A Psychopath’s Dream: The Nuclear Option
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 …เพิ่มเติม
Love Others Enough To Tell Truth The second reading emphasizes the obligation to love one another, a challenging task that requires charity. This love is demonstrated through the fulfillment of the offices of priest, prophet, and king, shared by all baptized individuals. The priest offers sacrifice and mediates, the prophet teaches God’s will, and the king serves, all with the ultimate goal of leading people to holiness and heaven. Marriage and family life are designed by God to help individuals become saints through self-sacrifice, teaching, and prayer. Parents should teach their children through words and example, while spouses should point out each other’s faults in charity to help each other grow. Even single individuals can serve, pray, and offer sacrifices for others, fulfilling the priestly role in their own lives. Fr.

It’s obvious they’re for stealing bread. Really? The progressive secular religion: it’s always someone else’s fault. The rules aren’t fair. The system is systematically racist.
Regime Caught Deleting THIS After CRISIS EXPLODES The CDC’s own website just quietly changed. Weeks after Pennsylvania reported the first US measles deaths of 2026 — one a newborn who tested positive for measles hours before dying — the specific sentence excluding those deaths from the count disappeared, replaced by a vaguer one. Today on ELLA: Black and Brown Women Disruptors in Healthcare and Beyond, Dr. Haydée Brown and Dr. Sonya Sloan trace what happened in between: newly confirmed CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz personally ordering the deaths excluded, reportedly at Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s request, while the agency’s own internal system keeps counting them as confirmed. Plus: what it cost Schwartz to walk away from an $850,000 job for “the mission,” 2026’s case count hitting 3,134 and already topping all of 2025, and the 1918 Philadelphia parade that offers an uncomfortable preview of what happens when public health truth gets sacrificed to political convenience. Dr. Haydée …เพิ่มเติม
Saturday, September 6th, 1913: Mary Phagan Home For Girls Suggested, The Atlanta Journal PAGE 2, COLUMN 3 A "Mary Phagan" home for working girls is suggested in a letter received Saturday morning by The Journal from one of its subscribers in Covington, Ga. The idea grew out of the agitation for the erection of a monument in memory of the little factory girl. "Instead of an immense marble shaft," wrote the subscriber, "I would suggest a neat memorial at her grave and a home in Atlanta where working girls can board for a reasonable rate. This also would serve as a retreat for those out of work. I would have all conveniences for their comfort and a night school for those desiring instruction. In the vestibule, I would have a life-sized statue or portrait of Mary Phagan." PAGE 2, COLUMN 4 GOVERNOR WILL NAME NEW JUDGE NEXT WEEK Judge L. S. Roan Mentioned Prominently for Fulton Co. Criminal Court Judgeship Governor Slaton is expected to announce the appointment of the new Fulton superior court …เพิ่มเติม
I – THE “PRO DEO INFORMATION CENTER” (CIP) Introduction General William Donovan, Agent Morlion, and the "Pro Deo" William Donovan (1883-1959), a U.S. Army general and secret agent who became head of the OSS during World War II, had secretly established a spy network with certain elements within the Vatican as early as 1941. It was Donovan who recruited Frank Gigliotti and Father Morlion to prepare—in collaboration with the Mafia and Freemasonry, of which Gigliotti was a prominent and high-ranking member—the American landing in Sicily. As early as 1942, Donovan had contacted Mafia godfather Lucky Luciano (then imprisoned in New York) to facilitate contacts with the Sicilian Mafia, with the aim of ensuring the success of the landing and, above all, subsequently governing Sicily, and then all of Italy, "in complete peace and quiet." In short, much like the Camorra during the Risorgimento, led by Liborio Romano (Patù: 1793–1867)—a Freemason, Carbonaro since 1820, and head of the Camorra in …เพิ่มเติม
C’è chi canta e la basilica di San Pietro cade a pezzi. Il cardinale Mauro Gambetti, come sempre, ama circondarsi di compagnie semplici e umili. I poveri e la preghiera restano, naturalmente, le sue uniche preoccupazioni. In questa umile dimora, con poveri e migranti. Del resto basta guardarlo: anche il saio francescano racconta perfettamente la sua idea di umiltà e povertà. da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum
