Mexican Bishop Hops Left and Right Before the Altar: Bishop José Leopoldo González González, 71, of San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, Mexico, hopped and danced in liturgical vestments, including his mitre, during Emaús 2026. The diocesan gathering brought together more than 5,000 young Catholics on 23–24 May in San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco. González explained that a young man had told him the dance was simple—“one step to the right and another to the left” - and joked that he had “fallen into the trap.”
During Emaús 2026 in San Miguel el Alto, Bishop José Leopoldo González González drew attention for his energetic participation with young people during the activities and Mass.
WHAT DOES CARDINAL BURKE SAY IS MOST NEEDED FOR MARRIAGES TO THRIVE? | SG News Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has issued a powerful call for Catholics to courageously defend the sanctity of Holy Matrimony and the family, even when faced with ridicule, rejection, or cultural pressure. Preaching at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, during the Feast of St. James the Greater, the cardinal urged the faithful to embrace what the Church has long described as "white martyrdom"—a life of faithful witness through sacrifice rather than bloodshed. Reflecting on the Christian vocation to holiness, Cardinal Burke emphasized that marriage is not merely a human institution but a sacred sacrament rooted in Christ's sacrificial love for His Church. Referencing the enduring teachings of St. John Paul II and the continuing discussions surrounding Amoris Laetitia, he encouraged Catholic families to remain steadfast in the Church's teaching on the permanence and dignity of marriage. …More
Stop Negotiating and Get the Job Done: American approaches to war for the last 70 years have been characterized by a normalcy bias that war conduct should be guided by the goal of reaching negotiated compromise outcomes rather than achieving victory and total defeat of the enemy.
– Folha de S. Paulo, June 4, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Our great, beautiful, and beloved Brazil. These are just a few of the adjectives that — though deserved — have become worn out from constant use. Far more accurate and genuine to our reality would be to describe this country as indecipherable, for it truly is in more than one way. Today, I will focus on just one of those ways. Imagine, dear reader, a farmer living with his family in a spacious house, surrounded by the wide-open spaces that make up the rural property. Wide indeed, stretching as far as the eye can see. It so happens that the family has grown considerably, and there is no longer enough room in the big house for the farmer’s offspring. Quarrels erupt on every side. Some wish to enlarge the cramped corners they occupy and, to justify this, argue that the house is, in a sense, a common asset belonging to the entire family. They bellow, with the metallic insistence of busybodies, a handful of clichés about the …More

Called By Name: Fr. Patrick Suh on Mobilizing Parishes for Priestly Vocations "If vocations depend just on me, we're never going to get any." Fr. Patrick Suh joins CatholicTV to share how the Archdiocese of Newark invited parishioners to actively call forth future priests. How do we cultivate a culture of vocations in our local parishes? Fr. Patrick Suh, Vocation Director for the Archdiocese of Newark, sits down with CatholicTV's Jimmy Reynolds to discuss the success of the Called By Name campaign. Fr. Suh shares the providential origins of the initiative—prompted by Cardinal Joseph Tobin—and explains how it launched on Good Shepherd Sunday. Rather than leaving vocation efforts solely to the diocesan office, the campaign empowered families, friends, and fellow parishioners to identify young men in their pews who possess the qualities of a good shepherd. With over 500 unique nominations submitted, Fr. Suh details the next steps: personal invitation letters from the Cardinal, St. Andrew's …More

Friday, 8th August 1913 Bits of Circumstantial Evidence, as Viewed by State, Strands in Rope, The Atlanta Georgian Atlanta Georgian August 8th, 1913 By O. B. KEELER. They call it a chain that the State has forged, or has tried to forge, to hold Leo Frank to the murder of Mary Phagan. But isn't it a rope? A chain, you know, is as strong as its weakest link. Take one link out, and the chain comes apart. With a rope, it's different. Strand after strand might be cut or broken, and the rope still holds a certain weight. Then might come a time when the cutting of one more strand would cause the rope to break. The point is, the finished rope will sustain a weight that would instantly snap any one of its several strands. Bits of Evidence Threads. And that is what the various bits of circumstantial evidence might better be called—strands or threads. Edgar Allen Poe, in "The Mystery of Marie Roget," has nearly exhausted the philosophical phase of accumulative circumstance and its relation to …More

@Victor t J. I am glad to hear your dad made it through. What did he do to keep going? Did he pray the Rosary? I can see you do not care about innocent people being killed by weapons of mass destruction. I am celebrating their martyrdom not crying about about them. And exposing the US's immoral plan to destroy the center of Asian Catholicism. Was your dad on board with that?
And if they had developed the weapon first, they would have had no problems dropping it on a U.S.A. target. Dad was a P.O.W. of theirs for 3 years. Cry to someone else about the poor Japs.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 14,22-33. After he had fed the people, Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side of the sea, while he dismissed the crowds. After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. "It is a ghost," they said, and they cried out in fear. At once (Jesus) spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid." Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how (strong) the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" …More
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Matthäus - Mt 14,22-33. Nachdem Jesus die Menge gespeist hatte, drängte er die Jünger, ins Boot zu steigen und an das andere Ufer vorauszufahren. Inzwischen wollte er die Leute nach Hause schicken. Nachdem er sie weggeschickt hatte, stieg er auf einen Berg, um für sich allein zu beten. Als es Abend wurde, war er allein dort. Das Boot aber war schon viele Stadien vom Land entfernt und wurde von den Wellen hin und her geworfen; denn sie hatten Gegenwind. In der vierten Nachtwache kam er zu ihnen; er ging auf dem See. Als ihn die Jünger über den See kommen sahen, erschraken sie, weil sie meinten, es sei ein Gespenst, und sie schrien vor Angst. Doch sogleich sprach Jesus zu ihnen und sagte: Habt Vertrauen, ich bin es; fürchtet euch nicht! Petrus erwiderte ihm und sagte: Herr, wenn du es bist, so befiehl, dass ich auf dem Wasser zu dir komme! Jesus sagte: Komm! Da stieg Petrus aus dem Boot und kam über das Wasser zu Jesus. Als er aber den heftigen Wind bemerkte …More
Friday, 8th August 1913 Witnesses Attack Conley Story, The Atlanta Georgian Atlanta Georgian August 8th, 1913 Say Mary Phagan Did Not Reach Factory Before 12:10 FRANK TAKES ACTIVE INTEREST IN CASE AND ASSISTS HIS LAWYERS The vital time element which may serve alone to convict Leo Frank or set him free, entered largely into the evidence presented Friday by the defense at the trial of the factory superintendent. Two witnesses testified that Mary Phagan did not arrive at Broad and Marietta streets the day she was murdered until about 12:071/2 o'clock, the time the English Avenue car on which she rod[e] from home was due there. One witness, W. M. Matthews, motorman on the car, testified that Mary did not get off at Forsyth and Marietta, but continued on the car and rode as far as Broad and Hunter where the car arrives at about 12:10 o'clock, [t]he conductor corroborated Matthews. This testimony strongly supports the contention of the defense that Mary Phagan did not enter the factory until …More
