Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …Дукха
Remember the good old days when the Jesuits forbade their members from becoming bishops or accepting any other kind of powerful religious or secular office to keep their innate intelligence and talent from devolving into arrogance, and resulting in their judgment about whether they existed to serve God or to improve on Him being clouded? So much of the evil that has seized the church has been initiated by Jesuits who were set free to give their conceit and arrogance free rein.
On 29 April, the Canadian homosexual activist Jake Tucker, 39, was found guilty of multiple sex-trafficking and assault-related charges following a trial in Barrie, Ontario. Tucker is in a homosexual "marriage" and produced/bought a baby girl via surrogacy. In the past, he has organised homosexual events, drag nights, flag raising, and other local activist initiatives. According to prosecutors, Tucker recruited, controlled and exploited two women for several years, arranging their prostitution and taking a share of the profits. He also used coercion, violence and drugs to maintain control. The case began in 2022, when a woman reported to the police that Tucker had trafficked her for years. Investigators later identified a second alleged victim who made similar claims. After the verdict, Tucker denied the allegations and said he plans to appeal, arguing that the women were lying and that the police investigation was flawed. He is expected to return to court for sentencing and could face …Дукха

Archimandrite Boniface Luykx (1915–2004) was a Belgian Premonstratensian canon regular, professor, and liturgical scholar. In the 1940s and 1950s he was among the leading figures of the Catholic liturgical movement and taught for many years at the University of Notre Dame’s Summer School of Liturgy. From 1960 to 1971 he served as a missionary in Africa, where he founded the Monastère de l’Assomption and taught at Lovanium University in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo).

@Chung Clement Jaeho Ave brother! I share your frustration but we must always see God's will in these things and trust in His Divine Providence! I just posted an article on the Russia/Sino communist takeover of Africa and I can't believe the comments! Maybe you should check them out! God bless you!
@Jeffrey Ade"Dear Brother Jeffrey, I hope you’ve been doing well. As I mentioned before, I’ve been staying away from this place because I’m frankly disillusioned. There are just too many fools here who claim to be 'Traditional Catholics' yet offer blind support to Trump, J.D. Vance, and the current GOP. Still, I sincerely wish for your peace and well-being. Thank you so much for sharing such excellent material. It’s incredibly refreshing to see a clear critique—not just of the hypocrisy of 'Trad Inc.', but also of those so-called Traditional Catholics who blindly follow these politicians. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can call people like Trump, J.D. Vance, or Marco Rubio 'devout believers' or 'protectors of the Christian community.' As you may have heard, a French nun was recently assaulted in Jerusalem. Beyond that, while radical Zionists brutally oppress Christian communities in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Armenia, has Trump, Vance, or Rubio ever raised a …Дукха
Russia-US Diplomatic Row Erupts Over Citizenship Of Diplomats’ Children | WION Tensions have flared between Russia and the United States over the citizenship status of diplomats’ children. Moscow has accused Washington of “forcing” American citizenship through birthright laws, claiming it violates international diplomatic norms. The US maintains its legal framework, but the dispute has added a fresh layer to already strained ties, highlighting how even legal interpretations can spark geopolitical friction.
06.05.2026 Popes Leo, Francis and Benedict use the LG 16 - visible premise to interpret Vatican Council II liberally : President Trump could correct the general dishonesty of the U.S State Dept., the Vatican and Italian Govt. This dishonest interpretation of Vatican Council II is being used by the U.S State Department and the Government in Italy. The Catholic traditionalists have to accept Vatican Council II interpreted with the Irrational and not Rational Premise or be excommunicated. This is not the Gospel. This is not the truth but a falsehood. With the LG 16- error the books of Cardinal Ratzinger are no more conservative and authoritative but heretical and schismatic. It is the same with the writings of Pope Francis. For Pope Leo, Vatican Council II has exceptions for EENS. It indicates that LG 16 refers to a physically visible and not invisible case. This is dishonesty and it is irrational. Pope Leo and Cardinal Fernandez used the LG 16 error of Rahner and Ratzinger to interpret …Дукха
Chapter XIX ~ Pains of Purgatory — St. Magdalene de Pazzi and Sister Benedicta — St. Gertrude — Blessed Margaret Mary and Mother de Montoux. We read in the Life of St. Magdalene de Pazzi that one of her sisters, named Maria-Benedicta, a Religious of eminent virtue, died in her arms. During her agony she saw a multitude of angels, which surrounded her with a joyful air, waiting until she should breathe forth her soul, that they might bear it to the Heavenly Jerusalem ; and at the moment she expired, the saint saw them receive the soul under the form of a dove, the head of which was of a golden hue, and disappear with her. Three hours later, watching and praying near the remains, Magdalene knew that the soul of the deceased was neither in Paradise nor Purgatory, but in a particular place where, without suffering any sensible pain, she was deprived of the sight of God. The following day, whilst Mass was being celebrated for the soul of Maria-Benedicta, at the Sanctus Magdalene was again …Дукха
"A Religious died in the flower of her age in the embrace of the Lord. She had been remarkable for her tender devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. After her death St. Gertrude saw her, brilliant with a celestial light, kneeling before the Divine Master, whose glorified wounds appeared like lighted torches, from whence issued five flaming rays that pierced the five senses of the deceased. The countenance of the latter, however, was clouded by an expression of deep sadness. " Lord Jesus," cried the saint, " how comes it that whilst you thus illumine your servant, why does she not experience perfect joy?"
"Until now," replied the good Master, "this sister has been worthy to contemplate my glorified humanity only, and to enjoy the sight of my five wounds, in recompense for her tender devotion to the mystery of the Holy Eucharist ; but unless numerous suffrages are offered in her favour, she cannot yet be admitted to the beatific vision, on account of some slight defects in the observation of her holy rules."
Monday, 5th May 1913, The Exhumation of Mary Phagan Monday, May 5th, 1913 [Coroner and County Physician Will Have Girl's Stomach Examined — Added from May 6th article — Ed.] The reason for the delay in beginning the Coroner's inquest was that Coroner Donehoo was in Marietta up to 2:30 o'clock. The body of Mary Phagan was exhumed by direction of the Coroner who went to Marietta for the purpose. An examination of the contents of the stomach will be made for the purpose of determining whether the child had been poisoned before she was attacked on the day of her death. It will probably be several days before this examination can be completed. The examination was done very quietly, and few people in Marietta knew anything about it. [With the coroner were Dr. J. W. Hurt, County Physician, and Dr. H. F. Harris, of the State Board of Health, acting under the direction of Solicitor Dorsey. It is understood that the analysis of the stomach's contents will be made by Dr. Harris at the laboratory …Дукха

Tue May 5, 2026 - 6:00 am EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Newly published writings from before Leo XIV became Pope shed new light on his theological formation, including an interpretation of Benedict XVI’s famous Regensburg address through a sociological lens, downplaying what Benedict himself framed as a metaphysical crisis of Western civilization. On May 4, 2026, the Vatican Publishing House released Free Under Grace, a volume collecting homilies and addresses delivered by Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, during his tenure as prior general of the Augustinian Order. The book, presented to him on May 2, aims to illustrate the Augustinian spiritual framework of his thought and includes a text commenting on Pope Benedict XVI’s lecture at the University of Regensburg on September 12, 2006.

That is the intellectual ecclesiastical worldview that dominated S.A. in those years. Great numbers of baptized living in poverty spurred Christian thinkers to try to find reasons why. Unrecognized economic ignorance limited the categories some of them used. It was hard to think outside the boxes of Marxist dialectic. Some of the better thinkers like Juan Carlos Scannone, sj tried to frame the argument in terms of culture.
A letter in today's Irish Times claims that 'most Catholics' support women's ordination The letter writer claims that it should be 'the headline issue at the National Synodal Assembly of Ireland on October 17th, 2026'
So, what! The laity have no voice at all in changing dogma and traditional practices of the Catholic Church. Wrong is wrong even though everyone is doing it, and right is right even if no one is doing it.
