German Bishop: Perceived Absence of God Expands Homosexual Practices: “Conservative” Bishop Stefan Oster of Passau said in his Assumption homily that the lifestyles, sexual preferences and identities displayed at Christopher Street Day are difficult to reconcile with the Christian view of humanity: “The perceived absence of God has massively expanded the scope of what is possible within the entire context surrounding sex and gender.” Oster asked: “Is the writer Dostoevsky ultimately right when he says, ‘If God does not exist, then everything is permitted’?”
Videozitat: Bischof Stefan Oster von Passau sprach in seiner am 17. August 2026 veröffentlichten Predigt zu Mariä Himmelfahrt über Menschenwürde, Säkularisierung und den Wandel des Menschenbildes. Zum Christopher Street Day sagte Oster: „Wenn wir den Christopher Street Day in seinen verschiedenen Formen betrachten, mit den vielen Facetten von offen zur Schau gestellten Lebensweisen, sexuellen Präferenzen und angeeigneten Identitäten, dann wird auch hier unmittelbar anschaubar, wie fundamental sich Gesellschaft verändert hat.“ Zugleich stellte er die Frage: „Entspricht das dann der Würde des Menschen, die uns von Gott gegeben ist? Oder widerspricht es ihr nicht viel mehr?“ Weiter fragte Oster: „Hat der Schriftsteller Dostojewski am Ende recht, wenn er sagt, wenn es Gott nicht gibt, dann ist alles erlaubt.“ Dabei betonte der Bischof ausdrücklich: „Auch alle Menschen, die da teilnehmen, [sind] geliebte Kinder Gottes mit unverlierbarer Würde“ und Christen hätten sie „in ihrer Freiheit zu …Okuninzi

During the Consistory, Leo XIV told the cardinals, “Support me, stand with me in this battle against war,” pro-homosexual Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers told IlMessaggero.it on August 23. Questioning the “Just War” Cardinal Vesco questioned the Christian concept of a just war, arguing that “for those who are fighting, their own war is always just.” While acknowledging a right to self-defense, he asked, “But up to what point?” “In any case, war itself is not just. In the end, we no longer know where to draw the line.” Israel and its “Settlements, Settlements, Settlements” On Gaza, CardinalVesco recalled living in Jerusalem for two years and visiting Gaza several times during the Intifada: “I experienced the checkpoints and saw with my own eyes the humiliation they represented. Today it is much worse.” Even then, he said, it was difficult to believe in a two-state solution because the Israeli authorities did not want one: “Netanyahu has not wanted it for more than twenty years.” …Okuninzi
There is no worldly solution for the Middle East crisis. There will only be peace when the Jews acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Then there will be peace.
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has announced that it will continue its annual pilgrimage to Lourdes. Following the episcopal consecrations on July 1 in Ecône, Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes withdrew permission for the SSPX to celebrate public Masses, administer sacraments, or organize public prayers at Lourdes. In an August 22 statement, Fr. Gonzague Peignot, superior of the FSSPX in France, announced that the Fraternity intends to continue coming to Lourdes every year, “Our Lady does not deserve to be abandoned despite the obstacles,” he said. The FSSPX expressed 'sorrow and incomprehension', questioning the bishop's decision and pointing to the interreligious Christian-Muslim pilgrimage that was welcomed at the sanctuary in October 2025. For now, the FSSPX faithful intend to remain present at Lourdes, but their pilgrimage will no longer be able to take the same public form as in previous years. #newsPjxbelhyed

More than 2,300 Catholics took part in Argentina’s 17th Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Christendom from August 15–17. Inspired by the Paris–Chartres pilgrimage in France, this year’s pilgrimage set a new attendance record. The pilgrims covered approximately 100 kilometres from the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rawson, in Buenos Aires Province, to the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján, Argentina’s national Marian shrine. Mass in the traditional Roman rite was celebrated each day at outdoor altars along the route. The traditional Mass was not permitted inside the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján. The pilgrimage instead concluded at the basilica on August 17 with Eucharistic adoration and the Rosary. Several prominent clergy took part in the pilgrimage. - Fr. Raúl Olazábal, of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, celebrated Mass on the first day, the Feast of the Assumption. - Fr. Augustin-Marie Aubry, prior of the Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer in Chémeré, France, celebrated …Okuninzi
THE happenings of our days are supplying strong arguments that the prophecies of the Holy Scriptures are coming to their realization. Better information means better preparedness. THE SMOKE OF THE ANTICHRIST is not available in book stores. The distribution of this book is carried out by the goodwill and ingenuity of its readers who wish to be the "fragrance of Christ for God" (II Cor. 2, 15), by sharing the light of Christ with their fellow men, in this age of general confusion brought into the world by "the world rulers of this darkness" (Eph. 6, 12).

Saint Emily de Vialar | The Woman Who Wouldn't Give Up on God's Mission | August 24 Today, August 24, we remember Saint Emily de Vialar, a French religious sister, missionary and founder of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Apparition. Born Émilie de Vialar in Gaillac, France, in 1797, Emily grew up in a relatively prosperous family. But God gradually placed another desire within her heart: to serve people who were poor, sick and forgotten. SERVING BEFORE FOUNDING Even before establishing a religious congregation, Emily quietly helped people around her. She cared for children. Visited those who were sick. Provided food and medicine. Helped people in need. Her father did not always understand or support the direction her life was taking. Yet Emily continued discerning what God was asking of her. Then an inheritance gave her an unexpected opportunity. Rather than simply using the money for herself, she used it to begin something much bigger. THE SISTERS OF SAINT JOSEPH OF THE …Okuninzi
Sainte Emilie de Vialar - 24 août Fondatrice de la congrégation de Saint-Joseph de l'Apparition (+ 1856) Sainte Émilie est née en 1797 à Gaillac (France). En 1832 elle a fondé, en cette même ville, une Congrégation missionnaire: les Sœurs de St Joseph de l'Apparition. Ce nom évoque l'apparition de l'Ange à St Joseph relatée en Mt. 1, 20-24. Comme St Joseph, les sœurs de cette Congrégation s'efforcent de contribuer à la réalisation du Plan sauveur de Dieu pour l'humanité, témoignant que Dieu a tant aimé les hommes qu'il leur a donné son Fils unique. Sainte Émilie est morte à Marseille en 1856. Site du Vatican, Chemins de l'Esprit,Recueillement et zèle apostolique Elle a été canonisée le 17 juin 1951, par Pie XII.

"O comrades of Judas Iscariot! To you I say, evil prelates, greedy for robbery to devour the sheep of Jesus Christ bought back with His Most Precious Blood: what care do you have of the holy fold of Christ? Good care, you say; but what? You have no other care than to devour and eat the goods of Holy Church without ever remembering the poor of the blessed Jesus Christ. Your benefits are not enough for you, I call evil deeds for you, not the abbeys of the monks you have tyrannized, but hospitals, giving them their income, and the poor are starving to death in the fields and on the streets."
Third Letter My excellent Lord, — O great treasurer of the Holy Spirit! O new Abraham upon earth! [After these words St. Francis gives a long and severe reproach to ecclesiastics for their covetousness, indolence, and want of charity and zeal for the spiritual welfare of the people; then he says]: Let the kings and princes in Christendom be ashamed of themselves, who live without charity. God has granted them means to lead a good life, and they are bad, having their hands shut up with the accursed lock of avarice; they are stingy in good works and prodigal in doing evil; they spend more than what they have in vanities and in useless things, in order to indulge their passions, oppressing their poor subjects. O wretched, unhappy men! Do you know what vanity is? Do you understand that your people are the creatures and subjects of the Most High God? They are men like you; children of Adam like you; they have been given to you as subjects, not that you might rob and maltreat them, but in …Okuninzi
We have a duty to seek the truth, and to reject evil. Sadly, the sources we've been told we can trust are politically compromised and have become one big stealth campaign for evil.
