Thomas Sowell grew up in Harlem during some of its hardest years, raised in deep poverty, moving between family members, navigating a world that offered young Black men in mid-century America very few clear paths forward. He left high school without finishing. He took whatever work he could find. Then he joined the Marine Corps during the Korean War, where he trained as a photographer — a practical skill for a young man trying to build something real out of very little. But something else was building too. Books. Questions. An insatiable, restless need to understand how the world actually worked — not how people said it worked, not how it was supposed to work, but what the evidence actually showed. After the Marines, he enrolled at Harvard University. He graduated in 1958. Then Columbia. Then the University of Chicago, where he studied under Milton Friedman — one of the most consequential economists of the 20th century — and earned his PhD in economics in 1968. What set Sowell apart …More
**The Patristic and Scholastic Consensus Against the Modern Idolatry of the Marriage Bed: Marriage Is the Indissoluble Bond of Wills, Not the Operations of the Flesh** The Church Fathers and the great Scholastic theologians present a unified, sober, and supernatural vision of holy matrimony that stands in radical opposition to much contemporary Catholic teaching and pastoral rhetoric. In the tradition from **St. Augustine** through the Scholastics (including **Peter Lombard** and preeminently **St. Thomas Aquinas**), the **essence** of the sacrament of marriage resides in the **mutual consent** that forms the indissoluble bond (*vinculum*) of fidelity between husband and wife. This covenant of wills is the primal reality: it images the union of Christ and the Church, confers sacramental grace, and sanctifies the spouses independently of any carnal act. The three goods of marriage—**offspring** (*proles*), **fidelity** (*fides*), and the **sacramental bond** (*sacramentum*)—flow from …More
"The Lebanese army was our guarantee and gave us strength," Fadi Falfil, a priest in Debel, told Reuters from his hometown. The withdrawal "created a feeling of insecurity among the people", he said. Trust in God's providence!
"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist. For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all, the Son of God, come among us to put and end to death." Saint Athanasios of Alexandria

2026-03-12 Reconquest - Call to Me 2026-03-12 Reconquest - Call to Me | Mission of … March 12th, 2026 Jesus. “Call to Me” (This Message was dictated to Sister in Spanish, and this is her translation into English. NOTE: The footnotes are not dictated by God. They are added by Sister Amapola. Sometimes the footnote is to help clarify for the reader Sister’s sense of the meaning of a certain word or idea, and at other times to better convey the sense of God’s or Our Lady’s tone when They spoke.) Note: I perceived that this Message is a call and invitation directed to all souls created by the Father, and in a particular way, to those who do not yet know Jesus, or have not wanted to recognize Him or respond to Him yet. I also perceived that it was important that the Image of His Face (as it appears on the Shroud of Turin) be included in this Message. Write. The Eternal Word, the living Word of the Father, He Who Is, Who Was, and Who Is to come, speaks. Hear, all ye nations. Take heed, all …More
@Olprint I see you have engaged @Instaurare Omnia in Christo! God speed! Many things could have transpired since the founding of the Monastery. However, the veracity of their teachings appears unrefutable. @Instaurare Omnia in Christo has a big problem with Catholic Truth. I just get a big kick out of people saying who is a Religious or not! Who placed her in the judgment seat? God bless you!
You did not prove anything. Even myself can anger you, like you are already furious. Feelings. You have feelings don't you? Something before I add more to the comment: Watch this video... because your... They have given a comprehensive history of their monastery as well in a video with a title (quite recent). What their apostolate was (cloistered), against now. The founder of the monastery.
Two more Lebanese Christians killed in an air strike, by the Israelis, in the South: George Said and his son Eli died while Israel targeted a side road in the town of Dibl in southern Lebanon. The family had returned to Lebanon from Africa in 2004, hoping to settle and invest in their homeland.
Zwei Zivilisten, George Said und sein Sohn Eli, sollen am 12. März bei einem israelischen Angriff auf eine Nebenstraße in der Stadt Dibl im Südlibanon getötet worden sein. Berichten in den sozialen Medien zufolge war die Familie 2004 aus Afrika in den Libanon zurückgekehrt, um sich dort niederzulassen und in ihre Heimat zu investieren. Ihr Tod ereignete sich vor dem Hintergrund anhaltender Angriffe und eskalierender Gewalt im Süden.
