James 1:14–15 "Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
Patriarch accuses Curia Cardinal. Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignatius Youssef III Younan has accused Curia Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches, of helping orchestrate an effort to remove him. Younan told the Substack.com-account 'The Pillar' that Gugerotti encouraged bishops to turn against him. He also alleges that Gugerotti helped develop the new papal law now being used against him. Younan, 81, has led the Syriac Catholic Church since 2009. He is the first Eastern Catholic patriarch to face proceedings under Pope Leo XIV’s 'Mutua concordia', promulgated on August 29. The process against him was reportedly initiated on September 4 - just six days later. Under the new law, a synod may request a patriarch’s resignation for a grave cause. If he refuses, proceedings can continue under another bishop’s presidency. Removal requires a two-thirds secret vote, the patriarch must be allowed to defend himself, and the decision requires papal assent. The …އިތުރު
Trump’s New Favorite Neighbor: Mexico nytimes.com/…3/world/americas/trump-mexico-trade-… President Trump built his political brand in part on bashing Mexico. Now his second presidency depends on deepening partnerships with the country. By Jack NicasEmiliano Rodríguez Mega and Zolan Kanno-Youngs Jack Nicas reported from Mexico City and Washington. Emiliano Rodríguez Mega reported from Mexico City. Zolan Kanno-Youngs reported from Washington. Sept. 23, 2026 Leer en español The U.S.-Canada relationship has imploded. But along the other, typically more contentious U.S. border, a partnership is blooming. In his second term, President Trump has made Mexico — once his favorite punching bag — now one of his closest and most important allies. The two nations have expanded cooperation to slow illegal border crossings to historic lows, joined forces to disrupt drug cartels and increased commerce to become each other’s biggest trading partners. Mr. Trump opened his second term by threatening …އިތުރު
Funeral for a male dancer turns into a comedy performance. Dancer, choreographer, and social worker Thierry Parmentier, 74, was given a funeral in the Catholic church of Caldogno, Italy, on June 24. He had planned the event himself, including its music, choreography and performances. Belgian-born, Parmentier had lived in the Vicenza area for over 40 years and staged productions to raise funds for AIDS research. The church was filled with Doctor Clown volunteers, biodance and holistic practitioners, and stilt-walkers. Don Gigi Maistrello, chaplain to Vicenza prison, preached the homily. After the funeral, an animated procession accompanied the coffin to the parish centre, where the farewell continued with music, dance and performances.
C’è ancora qualcosa di Cattolico? Venghino, siori, venghino: al gran circo del funerale di Thierry Parmentier a Caldogno!
More propaganda. The sort of thing a couple of people at least would defend and cheer on. Ukraine is not part of NATO. And what about Iran or Lebanon or Palestine? I don't see them protecting them or the many other countries that the filthy hands of Trump and Bibi are involved in.
Cardinal McElroy hails Leo XIV’s shift from “unfortunate” Catechism teaching. Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, writing at NcROnline.org on September 23, said that “during the past six months, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in Catholic teaching on war.” McElroy praised the “tremendous progress” made during that period toward “eclipsing the role of the just war tradition in Catholic teaching.” “The just war framework has been distorted to become a source of justification for those inclined to go to war, rather than a constraint on war,” McElroy claimed. Then this: “One of the accelerants for this trend is the unfortunate statement in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that the evaluation of the just war criteria belongs to those who have responsibility for the common good.” The cardinal's statement comes in the wake of Leo XIV’s encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas'. In §192, Leo XIV writes that just-war theory “is now outdated.” However, Catechism 2309 doesn’t say …އިތުރު

A priest has been killed and four people injured in a knife attack at the Benedictine abbey in Jarosław, Poland, on September 24. Police say a 31-year-old Ukrainian citizen attacked four men and a woman shortly before 9:30 a.m. and was detained at the scene. Fr. Stanisław died from his injuries. Fr. Marek was seriously wounded. The other victims were also hospitalized. The motive has not yet been established.
Dziś rano, na terenie Opactwa Sióstr Benedyktynek w Jarosławiu doszło do ataku nożownika (31-letniego obywatela Ukrainy) na grupę osób, które prawdopodobnie zgromadziły się na poranne nabożeństwo. W wyniku napaści zginął kapłan - ks. Stanisław, rektor ośrodka rekolekcyjnego. Dwóch kolejnych duchownych (w tym ks. Marek) jest w bardzo poważnym stanie. W ataku ranione zostały również inne osoby, w tym jedna kobieta. Do morderstwa doszło po godzinie 9:00. Natomiast o 10:00 miała rozpocząć się Msza Święta. Sprawca został ujęty. Świadkami była m.in. młodzież, która chwilę wcześniej zwiedzała Opactwo, które jest otwarte. Pozostaje nam podjąć pilny szturm modlitewny, zwłaszcza za tych, którzy teraz walczą o życie..
Emmanuel Macron’s decision not to attend the papal Eucharists during Leo XIV’s visit to France is in keeping with France’s state religion of laicism. Jacques Chirac did not attend John Paul II’s celebrations in 1997, nor did Nicolas Sarkozy attend Benedict XVI’s in 2008. The only recent exception was Macron’s presence at Pope Francis’s Eucharist in Marseille in 2023, but the circumstances were different: attending the Mass was effectively the only opportunity for the French president to formally welcome the Pope.
Nessuno scandalo per la mancata presenza di Macron alle messe papali in Francia: è la prassi. Né Chirac nel '97 né Sarkozy nel 2008 parteciparono alle celebrazioni presiedute da Giovanni Paolo II e Benedetto XVI. Unica eccezione: Macron con Francesco a Marsiglia (ma era l'unica possibilità di accogliere con tutti gli onori il Papa)
They will all lose in the end. So they are all wasting their time. Let them have fun now. But they will all pay later. Including Trump and his sick administration. It will be fun watching as I have been enjoying watching Iran humiliate Trump from day one. He can use nukes on them as he plans. Probably soon after the elections. But he better know now. He is playing with fire. Not just physical fire but Heavenly fire! So let the fun continue for them. For now.

Hosts from tabernacle scattered across a town square. On September 19, unknown perpetrators entered the Sacred Heart of Mary parish church in Guitiriz, Lugo, Spain, forced open the tabernacle and stole the silver ciborium containing hosts. They were later found scattered outside in the town square. The Diocese of Mondoñedo-Ferrol described the incident as a grave profanation of the Eucharist. The parish filed a complaint and the Guardia Civil opened an investigation. Investigators are reportedly reviewing security cameras from nearby businesses. Bishop Fernando García Cadiñanos will celebrate a Eucharist of reparation at the church on 29 September.
El salto cualitativo de la cristofobia: Profanan una iglesia y esparcen las hostias consagradas por la plaza del pueblo ADELANTE ESPAÑA Unos desconocidos profanaron el pasado sábado a mediodía la iglesia parroquial del Sagrado Corazón de María de Guitiriz, en Lugo, después de acceder al templo y forzar el sagrario para extraer el copón que se encontraba en su interior. La frialdad y la impunidad con la que los criminales actúan a plena luz del día demuestran un desprecio absoluto hacia los sentimientos religiosos más íntimos de nuestro pueblo. Un asalto a un recinto sagrado, perpetrado con el único propósito de profanar el cuerpo de Cristo y de herir el corazón de la cristiandad que dejará una marca imborrable de indignación en nuestras almas.
