Completed in May 2026, the restoration of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in O’Neill, Nebraska, revived its historic artistic character. Like many churches, its interior was disfigured in the mid-20th century, including the loss of its original apsidal fresco and installation of a monumental crucifix with a faux stained-glass-style backdrop. Conrad Schmitt Studios renewed the interior with stenciling, gold leaf, faux-marbled columns, and a new apsidal mural depicting the Ascension. The project also returned the high altar to prominence.
Before and After: St. Patrick's Catholic Church in O’Neill, Nebraska
On 6 September, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi. The group had planned to conclude their annual pilgrimage with public prayer inside the basilica. Individual pilgrims were permitted to enter privately or in small groups. The group therefore remained outside and concluded their pilgrimage in the basilica square. Father Gabriele D’Avino, head of the FSSPX in Italy, drew a contrast between this decision and the interreligious gathering in Assisi on 27 October, for which representatives of different religions and Christian denominations are expected to attend the 40th anniversary of the 1986 World Day of Prayer for Peace.

1) Revelation 11:3-6; “I will let my two witnesses prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” “They are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the Lord of the earth.” If anyone tries to harm them, fire will come out of their mouths and devour their enemies; if anyone tries to harm them, that is how they must die. They have the power to shut the sky so that it does not rain during the days they prophesy; they also have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and power to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they wish. 2) Isaiah 49:2-3; Yahweh made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He hid me; He made me like a sharp arrow; in His quiver He kept me. He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” 3) Jeremiah 51;20; You are an ax to Me, a weapon of war: with you I crushed nations; with you I destroyed kingdoms. 4) If you understand the mystery of iniquity that is unfolding right now in the Church …Bontsi
Walka duchowa przed Armagedonem: JHWH wyciągnie ze swojego kołczanu tych, którzy nie są godni nosić sandałów na nogach. Odziani w wory będą dokonywać niezwykłych cudów. 1) Objawienie 11:3-6; „Pozwolę moim dwóm świadkom prorokować przez 1260 dni, odzianym w wory”. „Są to dwa drzewa oliwne i dwa świeczniki stojące przed Panem ziemi”. Jeśli ktoś spróbuje im zaszkodzić, z ich ust wyjdzie ogień i pochłonie ich wrogów; jeśli ktoś spróbuje im zaszkodzić, w ten sposób musi umrzeć. Mają moc zamknąć niebo, aby nie padał deszcz w dniach, w których prorokują; mają też władzę nad wodami, by zamienić je w krew, oraz moc, by uderzyć ziemię wszelkiego rodzaju plagami, tak często, jak tylko zechcą. 2) Izajasz 49:2-3; Jahwe uczynił moje usta jak ostry miecz; w cieniu swojej ręki ukrył mnie; uczynił mnie jak ostrą strzałę; w swoim kołczanie mnie przechowywał. Powiedział do mnie: „Ty jesteś moim sługą, Izraelu, w którym będę uwielbiony”. 3) Jeremiasz 51:20; Jesteś dla Mnie siekierą, bronią wojenną: tobą …Bontsi
The final programme for the annual Rome pilgrimage of the Traditional Roman Rite (23–25 October) has been announced. However, there is a notable change this year: the pilgrims will enter St Peter's Basilica at 1 p.m. to pray, but there will be no Mass. Instead, pilgrims will travel to the Basilica of St Mary Major, where Bishop Athanasius Schneider will celebrate Mass at 3 p.m. On Friday evening, Bishop Schneider will preside over Pontifical Vespers at the Pantheon. Unlike in previous years, no cardinal is scheduled to celebrate the principal liturgies. On Sunday, the traditional Feast of Christ the King, Masses will be held at San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini, Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini and Sant’Anna al Laterano. The organisers have expressed their gratitude to Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of St Mary Major, for welcoming the pilgrims. Picture: Don Elvir Tabaković, #newsFjtfiqeqpm
Swedish news was filming a report in Ukraine and was interrupted by a guy running from mobilization. Earlier the same Swedish news was reporting in Ukraine and one of their team members got mobilized. The Swedish news has a hard time pretending all is fine in Ukraine. The more the US and Europe try to hide the crimes of Ukraine, the more they are exposed. Live on TV!
On 7 September, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller addressed the “Tavola di Assisi 2026”: “Islam… is not ashamed of God, it is not ashamed of transcendence, but it proposes an anthropology and a revelation radically different from the Christian ones.” Invoking St Francis of Assisi’s encounter with Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil, Müller rejected the modern portrayal of Francis as a precursor of interreligious dialogue: “Francis did not go to Egypt to open a diplomatic salon and confirm the Sultan in his faith.” Instead, he went convinced that Jesus Christ is the only Savior. For Cardinal Müller, calling Muslims to conversion is “not an act of hostility… on the contrary, it is the highest act of charity.” He also warned that the Christian West is not “simply threatened by external forces, but is being worn down by an internal apostasy.”
Il cardinale Müller: "l'Islam non rispetta i cristiani deboli" Il cardinale Gerhard Ludwig Müller, nell'intervento alle Tavole di Assisi organizzate da Simone Pillon, affronta di petto il tema dell'Occidente logorato dal postumanesimo e dal nichilismo. E parla del rapporto con i musulmani: "Va rispettata la nostra identità". Video completo su YouTube: @TivuVerita
Ceuta is under siege again tonight and Madrid still treats it like a PR problem. Either the military seals the perimeter with real force or this enclave is lost for good. No more “managing flows.” Defend Spanish soil or surrender it.
Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, removed in June as an exorcist by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy, is continuing his deliverance ministry. In an August 3 email to subscribers, Monsignor Rossetti said he remains a priest in good standing in his home Diocese of Syracuse, New York, and will continue his work through the St. Michael Center, which operates within the territory of the Washington archdiocese. On June 3, Cardinal McElroy removed Rossetti as an archdiocesan exorcist and ended all affiliation between the Archdiocese of Washington and Rossetti's St. Michael Center. Monsignor Rossetti argues that he retains priestly faculties in several dioceses and exorcist faculties in two others. He also says his own bishop has encouraged him to continue the ministry. The June controversy followed Rossetti's eccentric claim that UFOs "are, in fact, demons." Cardinal McElroy - who had removed him for this claim - later said the decision was not about UFOs but reflected his view that the role of an …Bontsi
Read this garbage: Msgr Rossetti says " sexual abuse of minors by mothers could more easily be disguised as ordinary acts of cleaning, grooming or dressing children." If it is true that he said this, such a thought could only come from a rotten, corrupt mind. Our mothers -our blessed, beloved mothers- could never do such a thing! Thank you, Mom, for taking care of me since I was a baby!

Very perceptive observation "As has already been observed, it is precisely in this that one recognizes an ecclesiological neo-Arianism which, while not expressly denying the supernatural character of the Church, more or less ignores it : the Church as social entity."
The University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life has published on July 17 a report containing twelve proposals for assessing candidates for the priesthood. Entitled, "Do You Know Them to Be Worthy?", the file was written by Father Thomas V. Berg and psychologist Timothy G. Lock. The report draws on research commissioned from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and a consultation held at Notre Dame in September 2025. The proposals concern psychological assessment, candidates with particular psychological or developmental conditions, and formation for chastity and celibacy. It addresses candidates with conditions including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder. On homosexual attraction, the Notre Dame authors note that a pause in formation may "more often than not" lead to a decision not to advance a candidate toward ordination. The authors think the pause is needed to assess four things: - how the man understands his identity; …Bontsi
On August 15, InfoVaticana.com noted a pattern in Leo XIV’s 2026 liturgies: the Roman Canon has been absent from nearly all the year’s major solemnities. At the Assumption Mass, Eucharistic Prayer III was used instead, as it was at Easter, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, and Saints Peter and Paul. The Canon has not disappeared entirely: Leo XIV used it on Holy Thursday and at a Sacred Heart Mass in Tenerife on June 12. For more than fourteen centuries, the Roman Canon stood at the heart of the Roman rite, its roots reaching deep into the earliest centuries of Christian worship in Rome. #newsQwvjswksfd
A beautiful lie... When you mix the truth with something that you wanted to be true but it's not, you get a beautiful lie. True, the Catholic Church has the fullness of the Truth, false the other religion had the truth (Jewish), but rejected its peak in Christ, the other "religions" if we ever want to call something that push souls stray as a true one, all of them with NO exception, calls Jesus a prophet but won’t adhere to His teachings in any way, therefore they are false. A beautiful lie ONLY numbs or disarms your spiritual defenses so you could become food for hell, the silly... but "refreshing idea", that all religions could join hand in hand, even with "atheists who do good", is not just a sugar high or some sort of Woodstock moment, it is a delivertly crafted manuver from hell to ruin souls. There is NO doubt whatsoever that Divine Mercy CAN be given to souls who never have heard the gospel, souls who have lived their lives doing their very best to honor Almighty Father, as it …Bontsi
Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, 79, a former Apostolic Nuncio and the Apostolic Visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, administered Confirmation to two young Irish Travellers in the Adoration Chapel in Medjugorje, reports David Murgia on IlSegnoDiGiona. According to pictures, the women wore inappropriate short white pyjamas. Murgia says the outfits reflect festive dress customary in the Irish Traveller community. He claims to have verified the circumstances through multiple sources and that the photographs are authentic.

09.09.2026 MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY IN ROME LABELLED ‘DOMESTIC TERRORIST’? : BIBLE, VC2 AND CATECHISM OF POPE JOHN PAUL II ‘POLITICALLY DANGEROUS’. Yesterday (Sept 8) I formally asked the religious community Missionaries of Charity Contemplative Brothers of Mother Teresa, Rome, if I could join them as a religious brother.

I had been living in a dormitory of their Home for the Aged, Casa Serena. I participated in their daily prayers, at the mother house. My Eucharistic Adoration time was 8 a.m to 10 a.m and then 7 p.m to 8 p.m before the night prayers. But to accept me as a member of their religious community, to live with them as a brother, Fr.

Two pastors in South Korea have been fined 1 million won (about €620) each after loudly preaching on a domestic flight from Jeju to Seoul. They shouted that passengers would “go to hell” if they did not believe in Jesus, while one moved around the cabin. They continued despite instructions from the cabin crew to stop. A Seoul court found that their conduct constituted a disturbance under South Korea’s Aviation Security Act.
The court said the 64-year-old pastor stood in the aisle despite repeated attempts by crew members to stop him and shouted at passengers, “You will go to hell if you don’t believe in Jesus.”
