The American military bases are strikingly reminiscent of the situation with the eleven U.S. aircraft carriers: instead of serving as a deterrent, they themselves have to flee. The U.S. empire remains dangerous. This is because the paper tiger is highly flammable and, when it burns, can set bystanders ablaze. This is the only element of intimidation that still works on some people. It drives the enemies to roaring laughter. The Americans had to make such fools of themselves, but as we can see, they wanted this war, which exposes their powerlessness. Most of the US military bases and facilities in the Persian Gulf (listed below) have been hit by Iran during the first five weeks of the war. And many of these are no longer operating or have been effectively destroyed. The US Naval base in Bahrain is no longer operational and cannot service US ships. One of Iran’s stated demands in its 10-point plan, which was presented to the US more than two …
2 Peter 2:21-22 It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs: “The dog returns to its own vomit,” and “The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.”
Jude 7: 7 Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust,[a] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Video included Speaking exclusively to RT on Thursday, Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, warned that Finnish lawmakers would be making a “big mistake” if they voted in favor of the bill. The arrival of foreign nuclear weapons in the Nordic country would significantly undermine its own security, according to the senior Russian MP. The relevant military installations on Finnish soil would inevitably end up on Russian strategic forces’ priority target list, Kartapolov predicted.

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has lamented about what he describes as a "coordinated campaign" on social media against the German Synod, he told Herder Korrespondenz. He is frustrated about “the narrative” portraying the German Synodal as schismatic and that it gained such strong influence. “This is also a phenomenon of social media, especially among the more reactionary camp,” Cardinal Marx used Marxist language. “They are very well coordinated in their efforts, particularly in the United States. This applies to politics, and it also applies to the Church. The other side [that is not interested in the Church] isn’t as active there. I have repeatedly pointed out to both Francis and Leo XIV that propaganda is taking place.” And: “In terms of communication, it certainly would have been better to talk to one another more. But perhaps we - myself included - should have sought dialogue earlier. I admit, however, that I was worried we wouldn’t have made any progress then. Now the task …More
Dear Marx of Munich, It's called technology that now allows the truth to be embraced......rather quickly. Trying to pull the wool over the laity's eyes is now a no-no. Time to go back into your corner , eat some Brats, drink some beer, and think how to be an Honest to goodness Catholic, because at the moment, you are an utter failure and disgrace to the Uniform.
The SSPX look set to consecrate five new bishops—without Pope Leo's permission— on July 1st in Écône, Switzerland. Father Davide Pagliarani, the Society's Superior General, insists this is not an act of schism. It is an act of fidelity. "The rupture does not come from us," Pagliarani declares. It originates in a "flagrant divergence" from Tradition and the constant Magisterium of the Church. The SSPX sees itself as a "sign of contradiction"—a thorn in the side of reformers who have normalized doctrinal error while marginalizing those who refuse to accept it. Pagliarani notes the bitter irony: Pope Francis granted him an affable audience within 24 hours, while Pope Leo will not meet with him at all, even as Vatican officials threaten to declare the Society schismatic. Dialogue has collapsed. The Vatican's only language now is condemnation. Yet the Superior General finds allies in unexpected places. He praises Bishop Joseph Strickland's "strength" and predicts Bishop Athanasius Schneider's …More

Pope Leo XIV affirms informal blessing for homosexual couples and downplays sexual sin Prevost’s Evasive Response to the Apostate Marx’s Homosexual Pseudo-Blessings: No Sanctions. Malachi 2:2 I will send a curse on you, and I will turn your blessings into a curse. se. Prevost has not repudiated "the entirety" of the apostate and heretical pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans*. Rather, Tucho and Prevost seek to legitimize this by invoking an alleged transgression of the boundaries that the homosexual Tucho—acting in complicity with Bergoglio—had established; this maneuver, in its diabolical cunning, was skillfully contrived to soften the impact of the apostasy. But homosexual activists—beginning with Tucho, Bergoglio, Prevost, James Martin and the sacrilegious German apostates—have, in fact, given themselves permission to transgress biblical boundaries and Catholic moral doctrine. Consequently, the pamphlets *Amoris Laetitia* and *Fiducia Supplicans* consummate a triple …More
Footnotes Hebrews 10:26 Once again the author repeats this somber warning (see Heb 6:1-8; Mt 12:31). Those who rebel against Christ exclude themselves from Christ’s forgiveness, from his life, and from his grace. Let them, therefore, meditate on the threats of God’s vengeance about which the Bible speaks, and especially the texts cited here (see Ex 24:8; Deut 17:6; 32:35f; Isa 26:11).
Hebrews 10:26 New Catholic Bible 26 Apostasy Remains Unforgiven.[a] If we deliberately persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, then there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins.
04/23/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. War is good in only one instance: when it is successfully prevented. Of course, every state has the right to defend itself against aggression. There is no point in debating that. Even a state under attack has a duty to do everything in its power to avoid war. And by that I do not mean that one should give in to the enemy’s threats. Such a submissive attitude usually provokes even greater aggression. In my opinion, Iran has provided an excellent example in recent decades of how to avoid war. If you’ve read that Iran sought to build a nuclear bomb and thereby threatened the civilized world, then you’ve read that. And if you believe it, that speaks to your thoughtlessness and your susceptibility to primitive propaganda. Such a mainstream claim has just as much to do with the truth as COVID-19 has to do with a pandemic—namely, nothing at all. A young Pakistani artist paid tribute to the slain leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, by creating an …
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.”
Thu Apr 23, 2026 - 3:56 pm EDTThu Apr 23, 2026 - 4:43 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A Dominican archbishop’s opposition to non-traditional ideas of how priests should concelebrate Mass, a topic debated at the Second Vatican Council, is making the rounds online. Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his 2022 book The Catholic Mass, referred to a speech by Archbishop Paul-Pierre Philippe, OP as “one of the most doctrinally and liturgically sound contributions during the conciliar debate on concelebration.” “The ritual form of Eucharistic concelebration introduced after the Second Vatican Council, and its practice in the life of the Church today, is certainly contrary to the entire tradition of both the Eastern and Western Church,” Schneider wrote. “The vision of the Council Fathers corresponded to the constant practice of the Church, where the concelebration of the Eucharist was done according to hierarchical order, that is, the cardinals and bishops with the pope and the priests with the bishop …

Moscow, however, has little interest in the old G8 logic Trump keeps invoking. Peskov previously said the G8 “has lost its relevance” for Russia, while the G7 looks “bleak” and “ineffective” compared to the G20. He has also argued that the G7 no longer reflects the real balance of the global economy, whereas the G20 includes the major growth centers and “better reflects the economic locomotives of the world.”
“The Catholic Church cannot recognise Anglican ordinations, as decided by Pope Leo XIII. This applies regardless of whether the person ordained is a man or a woman.”

The Trinity (Scivias II, 2) The illustration accompanying this vision of the Trinity in the Rupertsberg codex shows a series of three concentric coloured circles with a large figure of a man standing in the middle. The subtlety with which Hildegard uses imagery to explain the mysteries of the Trinity should be compared with her letter to Odo of Soissons (4) on the same subject.

"2 . The three persons Therefore you see ‘an extremely bright light’, which signifies the Father, who is without the stains of illusion, failure or deceit. And in the light is ‘the figure of a man the colour of sapphire’, which represents the Son, who is without the stains of hard-heartedness, envy or evil, and who before all time, according to his divinity, was begotten of the Father, but afterwards, in time, according to his humanity, became incarnate in the world. And ‘it was all burning in a delightful red fire’; this is the fire without the stains of aridity, mortality or darkness, which represents the Holy Spirit, by whom the Only Begotten of the Father was conceived in the flesh, born in time of the Virgin and poured out his light, truth and brightness over all the world."
