ST. FRANCIS PATH: CHOOSING CHRIST OVER COMFORT - October 4 SGNEWS-SG Francis Bernardone il Poverello Memorial 4 October Profile Son of Pietro Bernadone, a rich cloth merchant. Though he had a good education and became part of his father‘s business, he also had a somewhat misspentyouth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. Captured during a conflict between Assisi and Perugia, Italy, he spent over a year as a prisoner of war. During this time he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his faith seriously. He took the Gospels as the rule of his life, Jesus Christ as his literal example. He dressed in rough clothes, begged for his sustenance, and preachedpurity and peace. His family disapproved, and his father disinherited him; Francis formally renounced his wealth and inheritance. He visited hospitals, served the sick, preached in the streets, and took all men and …Dabalata
St. Catherine of Siena and the Reverence Due to Priests In this inspiring reflection, we explore the powerful messages God gave to Saint Catherine of Siena—a Doctor of the Church and one of the greatest mystics in Catholic history. Through her divine revelations, God reminded the faithful never to judge, criticize, or scorn His priests, no matter their human weaknesses. Saint Catherine’s writings in The Dialogue reveal a profound truth: the dignity of the priesthood comes not from the man himself, but from the sacred office he holds in Christ’s name. This video uncovers her heavenly conversations, where God speaks with tenderness yet firmness about the sacredness of His chosen servants, calling us to prayer, humility, and reverence for the priestly ministry. Join us as we reflect on Saint Catherine’s timeless message—a call to pray for priests, to trust in God’s justice, and to love His Church with purity of heart. @Boanerges Boanerges I am leaving a video or the dialogue of Saint …Dabalata
Leo XIV “largely continues the post-conciliar revolution,” Edward Pentin said October 3 at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh. “Pope Leo… is very much a continuity figure, continuing the post-conciliar course mapped out by Pope Francis,” Pentin said. While Leo has “changed the tone for the better,” his improvements remain “largely symbolic and small scale.” Pentin said he has “often heard in recent months in Rome” that many around Leo “helped him get elected precisely so he might continue the revolution.” On Leo XIV’s emphasis on unity, Pentin said the pontificate has avoided many “neuralgic issues” by “essentially not talking about them.” He added that “what is unacceptable among the Church’s leadership is fidelity to the Church’s doctrine and tradition”. Pentin said some call Leo XIV’s priority a “false peace and false unity,” and cited two anonymous Roman priests warning against unity through silence about error.
Edward Pentin on Leo XIV at the CIC conference: Leo XIV continues Francis's work with a better style.
US Bishop attends smudging ceremony. On July 11, the Diocese of Raleigh hosted its first multicultural celebration honoring St. Kateri Tekakwitha - the first North American Indigenous saint - at Holy Cross Church. The gathering included discussions, music, and indigenous dances. Richard Duran, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe from Arizona, led a smudging ceremony, which the diocese described as sharing cleansing smoke “as an act of prayer and spiritual connection.” Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama was present and drew laughter when he said he would dance with his heart, not his body, because dancing to music can frustrate him. Smudging has nothing to do with St. Kateri. She left her indigenous community and moved to the Christian Mohawk community at Kahnawake, where she could freely live her Catholic faith.
The bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina participated over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion. Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy.
A friend and faithful reader, Bill Wendell, alerted me today that Fr. Benedict Groeschel died on this date in 2014. This is the last of three posts I wrote about him.

Argentine bishop, a Synod Father, punished after canonical judicial process over allegations of abuse. Auxiliary Bishop Ricardo Seirutti, 70, of Córdoba, Argentina, has been punished by the Church following a canonical judicial process concerning complaints from two adults over conduct officially described as “improper to his episcopal ministry.” Monsignor Seirutti also served as vicar general of the Archdiocese of Córdoba. Pope Francis appointed him auxiliary bishop in 2015. In 2018, he participated as a voting Synod Father in the Synod of Bishops on Young People. He represented the Argentine episcopate. According to the Archdiocese of Córdoba, complaints from two adults led the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith to order a canonical judicial process before the Interdiocesan Tribunal of Buenos Aires. The proceedings concluded in recent weeks with sanctions against Bishop Seirutti. He has been deprived of his offices as auxiliary bishop and vicar general. For five years, he is …Dabalata
Bishop Corrado Sanguineti of Pavia is the frontrunner to become the next Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica - succeeding Cardinal Mauro Gambetti. Writing for IlGiornale.it, Nico Spuntoni says Bishop Sanguineti is now in “pole position” for the post following Gambetti’s departure. Other names floated in recent weeks include former papal master of ceremonies Archbishop Guido Marini, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of the Basilica of St Mary Major. Leo XIV knew Sanguineti before his election to the papacy through Pavia, home to the tomb of St Augustine. The two celebrated a Eucharist together there in February 2024. Sanguineti was also received by Leo XIV in a private audience at the Vatican in early September.

@maria divine mercy And everyone else who believes in this fake seer, should read this well.
It's amazing Catholics are still following this fraud. Maria Divine Mercy was exposed in 2015 as Irish businesswoman Mary Carberry, who made millions of dollars in profits on her so-called visions of Jesus and Mary.
“In those years,” says satan, “I will make many revelations. (I.e.,False revelations through apparitions that are actually demonic.) It will be impossible to expose my language. I will imitate all too well the words of Christ and His revelations. By loading these souls, I want a lot of pious priests to be lost, to mislead them deeply into all these things. I also want to lose many souls (the same way) who are not priests. (Other religious and the laity.) If I can not lose these souls, I will (make them) lose their reputation at least, I will make them charges of heavy slander, I will make them denounce up to the point of counsels of human laws.” A possible interpretation of this text: in the years when satan creates great confusion in the Church, he will cause many false apparitions to occur to mislead even the zealous and faithful with high sounding mysteries. It will be difficult to tell the difference between a false message from the true ones as satan will mimic how Our Lord and …Dabalata
many of her prophecies came to fruition And many have not. 1. They take our very own prophecies and use them against us. Most of the time with a twist of their own beliefs. 2. It is said, most do it for money, fame and attention. 3. Some "maybe" mentally ill. This is what Priests have said and come to the conclusion. Which I already knew and saw many years before any Priest started to warn us against them. If I can see those things, I wonder all the time why others haven't. It doesn't seem good in the end that they easily fall for such lies from such people. You will do what you want. Whether it is to keep going off on our Religious, or following these fake seers. There is nothing I can do for such stubbornness and pride in a person. Not just you but for all who refuse to listen, read and learn. We have a lot of bad religious. Both men and women. I would think by now, most know this. Even those in the protestant no mess have woken up. GOD and ONLY GOD can help them. But mainly through …Dabalata
Monsignor Gilles Wach, founder and prior general of the traditionalist Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICRSP), has been an honorary member of the Rotary Club Firenze Valdisieve for years. Medias-Presse.info highlights Rotary publications from both 2014 and 2024 describing Monsignor Wach as an honorary member, including on occasions when the club was received at the ICRSP seminary in Gricigliano. In 1950, the Holy Office issued a decision, approved by Pope Pius XII, forbidding Catholic clergy from joining Rotary Clubs or attending their meetings. Catholic authorities at the time cited concerns including religious indifferentism and Masonic or anticlerical influences. Medias-Presse.info asks: how does Monsignor Wach reconcile his Rotary affiliation with the tradition his Institute professes to uphold?

I have already spoken of the devotion of the ancient Jewish Church to the souls of the departed. But perhaps you arc not aware that the Jews retain to this day, in their Litany, the pious practice of praying for the dead. Yet such in reality is the case. Amid all their wanderings and vicissitudes of life, though dismembered and dispersed, like sheep without a shepherd, over the surface of the globe, the children of Israel have never forgotten or neglected the sacred duty of praying for their deceased brethren. Unwilling to make this assertion without the strongest evidence, I procured from a Jewish convert an authorized Prayer-book of the Hebrew Church, from which I extract the …Dabalata
Andrew, can you tell me which of your posts has GOD and Our Lord warning us about us about the scandals of our Religious and how we must avoid them? I can't find them in my folders that I saved. I don't wish for you to dig through your posts. Only if you know which ones I am referring to. Please! Don't go out of your way. Maybe which Saint revealed what was said. Or the title of your posts maybe? But please don't go out of your way.
"Unwilling to make this assertion without the strongest evidence, I procured from a Jewish convert an authorized Prayer-book of the Hebrew Church, from which I extract the following formula of prayers which are prescribed for funerals : " Departed brother ! mayest thou find open the gates of heaven, and see the city of peace and the dwellings of safety, and meet the ministering angels hastening joyfully towards thee! And may the High Priest stand to receive thee, and go thou to the end, rest in peace, and rise again into life ! May the repose established in the celestial abode ..."

Confirmed: Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, 60, as Metropolitan Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto. The move brings Gambetti’s tenure as Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City and President of the Fabric of St Peter to an end. His successor at the Vatican has not yet been announced. Cardinal Gambetti's years in the Vatican were marked by repeated controversies, many of which were brought to public attention primarily by SilereNonPossum.com. The investigation was based on documents, photographs, videos and testimony. Among other issues, SilereNonPossum reported favouritism in personnel appointments - including the hiring of people personally connected to Gambetti. Other scandals included controversial expenditure, costly events and projects, and concerns over the maintenance and management of the Basilica. Cardinal Gambetti succeeds Archbishop Bruno Forte, whose resignation Pope Leo XIV has accepted. The transfer comes after months of rumours that …Dabalata
