On August 7, around 100 Freemasons from different obediences gathered at the Col de Vergio in Corsica, France, nearly 1,500 metres above sea level, for a summer lunch. Among those attending was Cardinal François Bustillo, Bishop of Ajaccio. According to LeCanardEnchaine.fr (August 18), the Cardinal spoke at length about “peace”. The Cardinal is one of the rising stars of the French episcopate. Seated beside him was Jean-Félix Acquaviva, the former autonomist MP currently under investigation for alleged passive corruption (offering positions to young women in exchange for sexual favours). Acquaviva has denied the allegations. #newsAoonddakbb
Sons of Thunder: Those who burned in blazing Zeal for Yahweh, the God of Sinai, Yahweh, the God of Israel. 1) Luke 9:52-54; He sent messengers ahead of him, and they went and entered a Samaritan village to make preparations for Him; but they did not welcome Him because He was on His way to Jerusalem. When His disciples James and John (Boanerges: sons of thunder, Mark 3:17) saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” 2) Prophet Elijah answered Yhaweh: "I am filled with burning zeal for Yahweh Sabaoth, because the sons of Israel have deserted you and broken down your altars” (1 King 19:10) a) 1 Kings 18:38-40; The fire of Yahweh fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood, and licked up the water from the trenches. All the people saw this, and they fell on their faces and said, “The LORD is God; the LORD is God!” Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not a single one of them escape.” So they seized them, and Elijah led …ਹੋਰ

Gdy Jego uczniowie Jakub i Jan (Boanerges: synowie gromu, Mk 3:17) to zobaczyli, rzekli: „Panie, czy chcesz, abyśmy sprowadzili ogień z nieba, by ich strawił?”. 2) Prorok Eliasz odpowiedział Jahwe: „Jestem przepełniony płonącą gorliwością ku Jahwe Sabaoth, ponieważ synowie Izraela opuścili Ciebie i zburzyli Twoje ołtarze” (1 Krl 19:10) a) 1 Krl 18:38-40; Ogień Jahwe spadł i strawił ofiarę całopalną oraz drewno, a także wchłonął wodę z rowów. Cały lud to widział, upadł na twarze i rzekł: „Pan jest Bogiem; Pan jest Bogiem!” Eliasz rzekł do nich: „Chwyćcie proroków Baala; niech żaden z nich nie ucieknie”.

THE QUEENSHIP OF MARY - August 22 Memorial According to ancient tradition and the sacred liturgy the main principle on which the royal dignity of Mary rests is without doubt her Divine Motherhood. In Holy Writ, concerning the Son whom Mary will conceive, We read this sentence: "He shall be called the Son of the most High, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father, and he shall reign in the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end,"[Lk I, 32, 33] and in addition Mary is called "Mother of the Lord"; from this it is easily concluded that she is a Queen, since she bore a son who, at the very moment of His conception, because of the hypostatic union of the human nature with the Word, was also as man King and Lord of all things. So with complete justice St. John Damascene could write: "When she became Mother of the Creator, she truly became Queen of every creature." Likewise, it can be said that the heavenly voice of the Archangel Gabriel was …ਹੋਰ
The Queenship of Mary - August 22 breski1 The Queenship of Mary Aug 22 A Marian feast day decreed by Pope Pius XII in his encyclical Ad caeli reginam to recognize and celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of the world, of the angels, of heaven, etc. The movement to officially recognise the Queenship of Mary was initially promoted by several Catholic Mariological congresses in Lyon, France, Freiburg, Germany, and Einsiedeln, Switzerland. Pro Regalitate Mariae, an international society to promote the Queenship of Mary, was founded in Rome, Italy by noted Marioligist and writer Father Gabriel Roschini.
Today, Leo XIV published a message for the 2026 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. He adopts the ecological vocabulary closely associated with Francis’ pontificate. Citing Laudato Si’, he speaks of an “authentic ecological conversion” and in metaphors such as “the ecosystems of the human heart.” The message also contains a naïve statement on warfare. “The true tools for building peace are not weapons of destruction,” Leo writes, listing instead “truth, dialogue, patience, goodness, justice, mercy, understanding, care and love.” Leo XIV enfolds an earthly program of disarmament, poverty reduction and ecological improvement: “Let us imagine a world in which the energies currently invested in war are directed toward integral human development, to overcoming poverty, protecting human dignity and reconciling divided peoples. Such a vision reflects faith in the coming of God’s Kingdom.” #newsUadwzxlixo
"Probably the most compelling argument in support of our taking of independence was the recent history of Africa; we were living cheek by jowl with the results. For example, Ghana was the first British country to be granted independence in 1957, and the British government claimed that this glorious example would prove the success of Britain’s colonial policy. Within a couple of years their President Nkrumah had established a one party dictatorship, half of the Members of Parliament were imprisoned, the leaders of the opposition had been eliminated, the economy was in ruins, and the President had established an external multi-million-pound personal bank account. We could not know at the time that in the following year, 1966, he would be ousted and lucky to get out with his life. Next in line for independence was Nigeria, in 1960, and we were told that this was a mature country with links with Britain and Europe going back over 200 years.

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; …ਹੋਰ
St. Bridget was told by the Lord that bad priests are not truly His priests, but true betrayesr, worse than Judas in some ways, because they sell Christ after He has already redeemed the world. They handle the sacred Host while living in lust, greed, and double lives, then return to sin with firm intention. The priesthood is the greatest dignity on earth, but also carries the strictest judgment (James 3:1).

Slovak pro-LGBT Catholic priest Adam Štefanec, 29, of the Diocese of Žilina said in an August 12 video that he does not like the word “God.” Rev. Štefanec believes that the term had accumulated so many associations that it no longer speaks to people today. “I try to find words that are universal,” he said, naming “humanity” as a universal value. Asked what Christ wants from people, Rev. Štefanec said the answer is “different for everyone,” different in every age, and “constantly changing.” Previously, Rev. Štefanec has supported homosex civil partnerships and said that homosexuality is not a sin.

Priest Alters Words of Consecration, Nuns Appear as "Concelebrants". Worse than Germany: A video published by InfoVaticana.com shows Trinitarian nuns at the Monastery of Suesa in Cantabria, Spain, standing around the altar like concelebrants, with their hands extended during the Eucharistic Prayer. The celebrating priest altered the words of consecration, using feminine forms. He said, “Tomad y comed todas de él” (“Take and eat, all of you” — using the feminine todas). Furthermore, he prayed “for all humanity” instead of “for many.” He also replaced “Do this in memory of me” with: “Do this to remember that I am among you as one who serves.”

Andy @andreas_nigbur THE STAR FORTRESSES MAKE NO SENSE. Scroll through these satellite images. Look closely. These are called "star fortresses." There are over 1,000 of them, scattered across every continent on Earth. Europe. Asia. North America. South America. Africa. Everywhere. And they all look SAME. Same geometric star pattern. Same precise angles. Same mathematical proportions. Same construction techniques. On every continent. In every climate. Built by civilizations that supposedly had NO contact with each other. Let that sink in. The official version? European colonial powers developed this design "independently" for military purposes between the 16th and 19th centuries. The star shape is supposed to deflect cannonballs better than straight walls. But here's what they don't tell you: 1. Many of these fortresses are located in places that were NEVER colonized by Europeans. Deep in Siberia. In remote parts of India. In regions of Africa that didn't have contact with Europeans until …ਹੋਰ

The main point of the third secret can be summed up in the words of Melanie Calvat: "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist." A heretic antipope will completely take over the Vatican apparatus and consummate Luther's Gnostic revolution and will erect a counterfeit church -- a "church" that will replace the primacy of the pope with sinodality, thereby creating a federation of regional hierarchies. It will be a Masonic inspired "dogma free Christianity" with no moral absolutes, and it will replace the holy sacrifice of the Mass with an invalid rite. The true sacrifice of the altar will be abolished. The false ecumenical religion will gain state recognition. Adherents of the Catholic religion will be severely persecuted by the civil powers. The true pope will be hunted down and killed. Then there will be world war, frightful epidemics that will exterminate entire nations, and starvation almost everywhere.
