First of all, I believe that the Novus Ordo Mass is a valid Mass. But also, in my personal opinion, it is insufficient. What do I mean by insufficient? It lacks some of the elements that mark it as our HIGHEST form of worship. Not because it is less elaborate in external elements. Not because it is not in Latin. But because it was stripped down in its prayers. Those prayers and psalms that are embedded into the rubrics themselves, most of them are gone. Now, this isn’t about whether the new Mass is valid or not. I’ve already said it is. That’s not the issue. The point here is that there’s an objective weakening in the new Mass that affects the doctrinal clarity of its sacrificial nature. And honestly, this ties into a bigger problem. Our society right now tends to oversimplify everything. But when you start simplifying the way we worship, it doesn’t just stay there, it starts to shape and weaken how we believe. Now my question is this: why did the reformers do it? If their only reason …More
The same case could be made for the 1962 Missal which saw over 100 changes from its predecessor. Nothing good has come or will ever cone from us whining about something that only the Vatican has control over.
A careful examination of this graphic, in and of itself, lends to the notion that this is itself little more than rough propaganda. For example, OFAC and the U.S. State Department are referred to (without any direct citations) as if they are legitimate sources of truthful information. I'm a bit disappointed.
Al Gore Shifts On Global Warming: Time To Watch Out For A New Ice Age? BY TYLER DURDEN WEDNESDAY, APR 29, 2026 - 08:10 PM The rhetoric and predictions behind climate change "science" change so haphazardly, it's a sure sign that the entire field of study is fraudulent. If the manufactured hysteria is not enough to clue people in, the failed predictions of Al Gore should do the trick. Former Vice President Al Gore warned a Hollywood audience this week that a "Gulf Stream collapse" could occur within 25 years, leading to an abrupt and devastating new Ice Age. Mr. Gore, now 78, appeared at the inaugural Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event, co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. He participated in a keynote conversation with actor Bradley Whitford of “The West Wing,” timed to the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth.” Gore invoked the scenario depicted in the 2004 disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow …More
After destroying the town church, the Israeli occupation forces demolished the historic nun’s monastery and school in Yaroun, southern Lebanon despite the local Christians calls to preserve their heritage. Is this also an isolated incident?
"My research began in 2022 with an investigation into Russian intelligence active measures targeting the American right. This focus quickly expanded into multiple additional lines of research. The first examined the continuity of Soviet-era intelligence operations into post-Soviet Russia and the activities of prominent former Communists and KGB officers in the post-Soviet era. From there, I began researching domestic communist and radical leftist groups and their ties to foreign governments.
Quick interesting chart of Russian disinformation agents.
The Israeli army has stated that it has replaced the crucifix that one of its soldiers defaced in Lebanon. The IDF has expressed deep regret over the incident and is working to ensure that it does not happen again.

Why do the righteous suffer while the wicked prosper? Why is it that those striving for righteousness are often beset by trials, sorrows, and infirmity, while the transgressor appears to dwell in uninterrupted peace? Consider the hunter: he wastes no arrow on the carcass, nor does he strike the prey already bound within his cage. In this same manner, the Devil—the Great Hunter of Souls—sets his sights only upon those who are spiritually vibrant. He does not waste his strength on those who already wear his chains; he reserves his fury for the one attempting to escape. To the spiritually dead, he grants a false peace—the quiet of the graveyard. A Call to Vigilance: Let not the heart be deceived by a season of ease, for the silence of the Enemy is often the greatest proof of his ownership. The peace of the sinner is not a blessing; it is a numbing anesthetic administered before the final blow. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, …More
C'era da aspettarselo. Il Vaticano è in piena fase di apostasia e chiunque la pensasse diversamente ha dato ascolto ai manipolatori dell'opinione pubblica invece che a chi dice la verità.
