It happened on an ordinary Tuesday at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Dr. Sydney Engelberg — a 67-year-old professor of Organizational Psychology, grandfather of five, and one of the most quietly extraordinary educators in Israel — was in the middle of a graduate lecture when a baby started to cry. The young mother in the back row began to gather her things, cheeks flushed, already apologizing with her eyes. She started to stand. Dr. Engelberg stopped her. "Please stay," he said. He walked over, took the infant gently into his arms, and turned back to the whiteboard. He kept teaching. He kept walking the room. He answered questions, explained concepts, covered every point on his syllabus — all while cradling a baby in blue star-covered footie pajamas who slowly, steadily, calmed down. A student quietly raised a phone and took a photo. That single image would eventually reach millions of people across the world. But here is what made it truly remarkable: Dr. Engelberg didn't even remember …More

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., about the bombing of the girls' school in Iran. "It was terrible. We made a mistake," he said. "Other countries do that sort of thing intentionally, like Russia. We would never do that intentionally. I think the department is investigating it now, and I'm sorry. I'm just so sorry it happened. It was a mistake."
He meant to say Ukraine does that intentionally. Just like they did again the other day. Killing a 6 year old child. And before that I think it was 40 people. They hit apartment buildings, hospitals, schools and shopping centers. They are all losing and can't take it after they started a mess. And they always go after the children and innocent people as they are doing in Iran after they did it in Palestine.
**Faith Without Submission Is Dead: A Catholic Wake-Up Call to the “Traditionalists” Who Resist the Pope or Deny He Exists. St. James could not have been clearer: “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead” (James 2:26). The inspired word of God does not say “faith apart from feelings is dead,” or “faith apart from private judgment is dead,” or “faith apart from whatever you personally decide is ‘traditional’ is dead.” It says faith without *works*—concrete, visible acts of submission to God’s will—is a corpse. And nowhere does the Catholic faith demand a more concrete work than this: submission to the visible head Christ appointed for His Church. Vatican I did not issue a pious suggestion. In the dogmatic constitution *Pastor Aeternus*, the Council solemnly defined, with the full weight of an ecumenical council under the Holy Spirit’s protection, that the Roman Pontiff possesses “primacy of jurisdiction over the whole Church of God.” Full …More
You do not address the question of whether the man sitting as Peter is in fact Peter. You presume that he is, and hence then, is your case not circular? You have yet to address the meaningful challenge that there is an antipope in the See of Peter, and one does not owe obedience to an imposter. You never answered the question: if the man sitting as Peter told you to honor a demon with a sacrifice on the Altar of God during Mass, are you required to do it? Doesn't making the request by definition exclude the man from being the Supreme Pontiff? Please don't hide behind ignorance of the event pictured; one who is unaware of this is hardly in a position to instruct others in such a weighty matter.
Is this wake up call for St Paul as well??? He tells us "But when Cephas (St Peter) was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed." (Gal 2:11). He also says: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." (Gal 1:8). Maybe St Paul didn't realize that the Roman Pontiff has primacy of jurisdiction over the entire Church? or maybe he didn't realize that faith without works is dead? ... or maybe he knew that one can acknowledge someone's authority, and yet refuse to obey their illegitimate commands!
youtube.com/watch?v=x7uqAiGNY3cIran jest jedną z sześciu najstarszych cywilizacji świata. Niewiele krajów na świecie wie dokładnie, jak narodziły się i zniknęły cywilizacje. Persowie mają bogatą historię i pamięć pokoleniową. Pamiętają nie tylko swoją historię, ale także historię innych narodów. Są mądrymi, kreatywnymi i hojnymi ludźmi. Niech Bóg błogosławi Iran!
Michael Turnage Ashkenazi Jews are actually ethnically Jewish. They're an admixed population with both Near Eastern/Levantine (Semitic) and Southern European ancestry. Approximately 50–60% of the population's DNA is Semitic, whereas about 40–50% is Mediterranean or Southern European DNA—which is mostly Hellenic (Greek) and Latin/Roman (Italian), with minuscule trace of Central or Eastern European components. Ashkenazi Jews are more closely genetically related to other Jewish groups, such as Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews as well as Samaritans, and with other Levantine populations—including Palestinians, Jordanians, Lebanese, Druze, and Syrians—than they are to non-Jewish white European populations, despite their long history in Europe. The European component is majorly due to Hellenisation during the Hellenistic and Roman periods of Jewish history, and nothing to do with Khazars. They acquired a significant portion of their European DNA during the Roman period, roughly between the 1st …More

IRAN HAS MADE ITS DECISION. AMERICAN HOPES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DASHED. Trump faces a stalemate in which any move will lead to a worsening of conditions. If the US responds with full force, Tehran will ultimately move closer to a nuclear scenario. But if Washington remains silent, the Western security system will collapse before the eyes of the whole world. Iran is aware of this and is deliberately pushing the situation to the brink. The US hoped that strikes on IRGC bases would force Iran to crawl and seek a new "fair deal." However, the opposite happened: Tehran rejected Trump's proposals and is not seeking a truce. As Ivan Prokhorov, a columnist for the Cargrad daily, notes, the Iranians are now officially sending all mediators from Oman and Qatar into captivity. "Khamenei's death did not lead to the paralysis of power and the collapse of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as the White House had hoped. On the contrary, paradoxically, it removed the last person who showed restraint and was …More
It started with a fever. In 1941, a seven-year-old girl named Karin lay bedridden with pneumonia, restless and bored. To pass the long, slow hours, she turned to the one thing that always made everything better — her mother's stories. "Tell me about Pippi Longstocking," she whispered one evening, the name tumbling out of her imagination from nowhere. Her mother, Astrid, paused. She had never heard the name before. Neither had anyone else. But Astrid Lindgren was not just any mother. She was a born storyteller. And so, right there in that quiet, dimly lit sick room, she began to spin a tale about a wild, red-pigtailed girl who lived alone, lifted horses over her head, had a monkey for a best friend, and answered to absolutely no one. Karin laughed. She asked for more. And more came. What neither of them knew was that those whispered bedtime stories — created purely out of love for a sick child — would one day be translated into over 70 languages and read by hundreds of millions of …More
@catholic Women's Group: That night in July 1943, the women of Nowogródek ran to the convent in desperation. They were crying, pleading, barely able to speak. The Nazis had just taken their husbands, their fathers, their sons—120 men dragged away at once. The order was clear: execution by firing squad. “Please,” they begged the sisters. “Pray for them. They are all we have.” Inside the convent, the world felt unbearably small. Outside its walls, Nazi-occupied Poland was already soaked in grief. Half the town was gone. Jewish families who had once lived beside them had vanished. Priests they knew had been murdered. Death had become ordinary. And now, more was coming. The eleven sisters gathered quietly in a dim room lit by candles. Among them was Sister Maria Stella, 54 years old, the steady heart of their community. She looked around at the faces of women who were teachers, nurses, servants—ordinary women who had chosen lives of hidden sacrifice. They had no weapons. No influence. …More
In addition to approximately 1,400 Iranian casualties, the aggression against Iran has already claimed more than 560 US military casualties. According to the IRGC, 560 US soldiers have been killed and wounded in strikes on US bases in the region, and the attacks continue. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the deaths and injuries of at least 560 US soldiers as a result of a series of Iranian attacks on US bases in the Middle East. The IRGC statement, published by the Fars news agency, said that US forces in Bahrain were attacked with two ballistic missiles, while other bases were repeatedly attacked, resulting in numerous casualties among US soldiers, RIA Novosti reports. Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani, in turn, stressed that Iran has no intention of attacking countries in the region, but is attacking exclusively US bases, which it considers US territory. He also assured that the attacks would continue as long as these facilities …More
Instaurare Omnia in Christo - I have always trusted Trump, but the attack against pro-life and pro-family conservative Iran is a huge disappointment for me. Despite this, I think that participation in Congressional elections and the election of pro-life and pro-family conservative Republican candidates to the US Congress is very important, and those Republican voters who do not vote will be making a big mistake.
It's also been said that around 170 to 180 Americans are now held prisoner. It just keeps getting worse and worse. It doesn't matter who wins in November. They are all one and the same. Though I never ever saw anyone as evil and wicked as trump is.
Novena to Saint Patrick Blessed saint Patrick, glorious Apostle of Ireland, who didst become a friend and father to me for ages before my birth, hear my prayer and accept, for God, the sentiments of gratitude and veneration with which my heart is filled. Through thee I have inherited that faith which is dearer than life. I now make thee the representative of my thanks, and the mediator of my homage to Almighty God. Most holy Father and patron of my country, despise not my weakness; remember that the cries of little children were the sounds that rose, like a mysterious voice from heaven, and invited thee to come amongst us. Listen, then, to my humble supplication; may my prayer ascend to the throne of God, with the praises and blessings which shall ever sanctify thy name and thy memory. May my hope be animated by the patronage and intercession of our forefathers, who now enjoy eternal bliss and owe their salvation, under God, to thy courage and charity. Obtain for me grace to love God …More
