Good essay. The Transfiguration also reminds the Jews (both the real ones and the non-Semitic ones) that the patriarchs of the Old Testament need the DEATH AND RESURRECTION OUR LORD to get to Heaven. So all were waiting for this event.
At the Sunday Angelus in St. Peter’s Square, Leo XIV voiced deep concern over the escalating violence involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. He warned that the situation could lead to “a tragedy of enormous proportions” if hostilities continue. “Stability and peace are not built through mutual threats, nor through weapons,” Leo XIV said, stressing that only “reasonable, authentic, and responsible dialogue” can bring lasting peace. He urged all parties to assume their moral responsibility and halt the spiral of violence before it becomes an “irreparable abyss”. Calling for diplomacy to regain its central role, he emphasized the need to promote justice and peaceful coexistence. #newsWizrkaihsy
Classic speech of UN pope or actually unpope. Yeah, how about Christians in China, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and so many other places- is their Pope only in Heaven?
An inspiring but sad read about the "Cursed Soldiers." Something to consider as the US government becomes more anti-Catholic. Eternal rest grant unto them O' Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the divine assistance remain always with us, and may the souls of the faithful, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace!
Biblia mówi o karze za grzechy ojców spadającej na potomków do trzeciego pokolenia. To właściwe podejście do sprawiedliwości! Tysiące ludzi zostało zamordowanych przez komunistów w latach powojennych. Żołnierze wyklęci byli inwigilowani przez zdrajców. Biorąc pod uwagę, że do złapania jednego potrzeba było kilku donosicieli, mamy do czynienia z setkami tysięcy zdrajców. Otrzymywali oni, oprócz bieżących nagród, także inne formy gloryfikacji za swoją judaszową zdradę: stanowiska, lepszą pracę czy duże gospodarstwa na ziemiach zachodnich, jeśli zdecydowali się tam wyjechać. Rodziny żołnierzy wyklętych często musiały uciekać, bo odebrano im majątki, możliwość pracy i godność. Nawet Kościół przyczynił się do ich stygmatyzacji, gdy w 1950 roku episkopat nazwał ich bandytami, dając moralne usprawiedliwienie zdrady i uśmiercania ostatnich rycerzy Rzeczypospolitej. Dodajmy, że byli to ludzie głęboko wierzący, często noszący ryngraf z wizerunkiem Matki Bożej na piersi.
Today, Leo XIV issued new statutes for the Pontifical Academy for Life. These will be in place for five years. The Academy now consists of a Presidency, a Central Office, Members (Accademici) and Supporters (Sostenitori). The introduction of supporters is the main structural novelty. Membership Without "Religious Discrimination" Leo XIV largely confirms the destruction that occurred during Francis's reign in 2016. At that time, Francis abolished the requirement for members to sign a formal pro-life oath. He broadened the concept of 'pro-life' to encompass ecology, migration and global health. Non-Catholics, as well as people with different bioethical views, could become members. Article 6 §5(a) explicitly states that members are chosen regardless of religion. Paper Tiger As before, Article 6 §5(e) still reaffirms that members can be removed for publicly contradicting Church teaching. However, these statutes are not enforced. Two notable figures are the current president, Monsignor …More
According to Pillay, Leo XIV stressed "the need for visible Christian unity, recognising the challenges this presents even within the Roman Catholic Church due to the existence of different and diverse views".
Today, Leo XIV received a delegation from the ecumenical 'World Council of Churches', reports Oikoumene.org. The delegation included the German lay bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, the Armenian archbishop Vicken Aykazian, the Baptist preacher Merlyn Hyde Riley, and the Protestant preacher Jerry Pillay.

Pillay said that Leo XIV affirmed that, "while our task is not to build a Christendom yet Christians must work together in unity to heal and restore the world". After the audience, German Bedford-Strohm told Kna.de that Leo XIV had "wholeheartedly agreed upon the necessity to move us towards visible unity". They also agreed that the Christian faith should not be used for political purposes: "Whether it is about aggressive invasion, chasing migrants or oppressing whole groups of people …More
Fri Feb 27, 2026 - 8:00 am ESTFri Feb 27, 2026 - 9:19 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — The Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue has sent a message to Muslims “on the occasion of the month of Ramadan.” The Islamic season of fasting coincides with Lent this year in what the message calls “a providential convergence of calendars.” Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, Prefect for the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, expressed his hope that “through the shared season of Ramadan and Lent, our inner transformation becomes a catalyst for a renewed world.” The approach adopted in the letter is erroneous in two respects: It falsely equates Lent and Ramadan It presents a false, naturalistic understanding of Lent The distinction between Lent and Ramadan The existence of God, and the necessity of mortification of the passions through fasting, are truths that can be known by the natural light of human reason. Many world religions teach these truths, but that does not mean their beliefs and practices …
"12 ~ The human creature should not investigate the secrets of God any more than he wishes to reveal them You, human creature! In the way of humans, you desire to know more about this exalted plan, but a seal of secrecy will be imposed on you; for you are not permitted to investigate the secrets of God more than the divine majesty wishes to reveal, because of his love for believers."
[Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] “8 ~ How Adam, having received the gentle commandment of clear obedience, did not accept it, on the advice of the devil ‘Once this was done, the shining fire with its flame burning bright in the gentle breeze offered the man a brilliant white flower that hung in the flame like a drop of dew on a stalk of grass.’ When the Father, who is brightest Light, had created Adam, he entrusted him, through the Word in the Holy Spirit, with the gentle commandment of clear obedience, which clings to the Word in the moist green vigour of fruitfulness; for by that same Word a most pleasing sacred moisture streams like dew from the Father in the Holy Spirit, producing great and plentiful fruit, just as pure dew …More
"The place given him to clear was situated on the border of a lake, and as he worked with might and main, the iron slipped off the handle and flew into the lake whose water was so deep that there could be no hope of recovering the lost blade. The Goth seeing his iron lost, went, trembling with fear, to the monk Maurus and told him the loss the monastery sustained and underwent penance. Maurus made the matter known at once to Benedict, the servant of God, who, as soon as he had heard it, went to the shore. He took the handle from the Goth and immersed it a little in the water. Immediately the blade returned from the bottom of the lake and adjusted itself to the handle. The hook having been thus restored, Benedict returned it to the Goth, saying : " Take thy hook, go to work and trouble thyself no further."
[Saint Benedict of Nursia; V-VI Century AD; Nursia, Kingdom of Italy/Mons Casinus, Eastern Roman Empire; aged 67; Father of Western Monasticism ~ Order of Saint Benedict, Patron of Europe, Rule of Saint Benedict, Saint Benedict Medal] Chapter V ~ ‘Of a spring of water which the saint, by his prayers, produced on a mountain.’ “Of the monasteries which the saint built, three were situated on the rocks of mountains. It was a painful task for the monks to be obliged to come down every day to the lake to fetch water. This labor incommoded them all the more as it was accompanied with danger, and they were afraid of falling when coming down, as the declivity was very steep. The brethren of these monasteries assembling together, went to Saint Benedict and said: ''It is very fatiguing for us to be forced to come down every day to the lake for water, and it is therefore necessary to change the site of our monasteries." The saint having heard their complaints, consoled them in gentle language …More

Israel and its US auxiliaries have attacked Iran. In terms of international law and elementary justice, things are clear beyond the slightest doubt: the attack is a war of aggression – but to be fair, in Israel’s case that hardly makes a difference anymore. With ‘highlights’ including apartheid, ethnic cleansing, unlawful detention, torture, sexual violence, and genocide, Israel has such an extensive and constantly growing record of, literally, every crime under international law, including human-rights and humanitarian law (or the law of armed conflict), that one more or less hardly seems to matter anymore. This state is a monster, and monsters will monster as long as they can. The US, of course, is no spring chicken either when it comes to treating international law – really, any law – as a doormat and brutally, gleefully violating the most basic ethics, the kind of simple rules normal people intuitively recognize, such as “don’t murder, lie, or steal.” Indeed, while Israel …

28.02.2026 WITH VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL AND ORTHODOX AND SO MAGISTERIAL AND APOSTOLIC THE SSPX COULD ORDAIN BISHOPS: BREAKTHROUGH Karl Rahner, Joseph Ratzinger, Karl Lehmann and others were in schism with the new theology created with Lumen Gentium 16 allegedly visible. For me, LG 16 is invisible and hypothetical. So there is no new theology. It is Larry Chapp and Bishop Robert Barron who are in schism with the Magisterium and missionaries of the 16th century on extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS). Not me. For me there is the hermeneutic of continuity today with the 16th century on EENS. Larry Chapp and Bishop Athanasius Schneider- like Lubac, Congar, Kung and others- used the LG 16 mistake.So there was the hermeneutic of discontinuity with the EENS of the Middle Ages. The Jesuit founders did not project the baptism of desire etc as being explicit. For Bishop Barron, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, Bishop Fellay and conservatives and liberals, there are explicit exceptions for the dogma EENS …More
