26 Years Later: Why Jeanette Hall Is Still Grateful to Be Alive: In Oregon, USA, on July 17, 2000, Jeanette Hall was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Believing she had no future, she asked her doctor for assisted suicide under Oregon's newly enacted law. Instead of writing the prescription, Dr. Kenneth Stevens took the time to understand her fears and encouraged her to consider treatment. One question changed everything: "Wouldn't you like to see your son graduate from the police academy?" Jeanette chose treatment. She survived, attended her son's graduation, and years later told Dr. Stevens: "You saved my life. If I had gone to a doctor that believed in assisted suicide, I would not be here."

Leo XIV Appoints Indian Bishop Practicing Indigenous Adivasi Rites: Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed the indigenious Bishop Albert Hemrom, 57, as Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Guwahati, India. This video was taken in October 2023 when he celebrated the silver jubilee of St John Vianney Church in Uriamghat, Assam. Monsignor Hemrom participated in the Aarti ceremony with the Adivasi community. Women held ceremonial brass platters (thali). Incense was waved before the bishop to purify him and invoke blessings. Then, a red tilak blessing mark was placed on his forehead. Finally, he was presented with a traditional Assamese gamosa, a handwoven white-and-red ceremonial scarf, which was draped around his neck.
Leo XIV promoted this Bishop, Dr. Albert Hemrom to a major Archdicoese. The video shows him at the St John Vianney Church at Uriamghat for their Silver Jubilee.
The Test: Roman magistrates gave arrested Christians a chance to go free. All they had to do was scatter a pinch of incense on an altar fire to the pagan gods or to the genius of the Emperor. That "single pinch of incense" was the definitive test of the ancient world. It is most famously associated with St. Polycarp, the Bishop of Smyrna, who was martyred around 155–156 AD.
Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Excerpts from Saint of the Day, Wednesday, 11/20/1963 (*) It seems to me that this invocation (Mother of God) has a very important point: it is that since Our Lady is the Mother of God, by a series of consequences She also is, and especial so, the Mother of men, and therefore, our Mother. I believe that the most precious grace that one can have in terms of devotion to Our Lady comes when She deigns to establish with each of us, through ineffable ties, a truly maternal relationship. This can take place in a thousand ways, but in general Our Lady shows to be our Mother especially when She saves us from some predicament in a way that becomes completely unforgettable. Or when She forgives us for some particularly unforgivable fault through one of those kindnesses that only mothers can have; She passes by, forgives us, and removes all rubbish much like Our Lord Jesus Christ would heal leprosy: nothing is left. [Our fault was such that] nothing deserved to be forgiven …Ավելին
Talking to Diane Montagna on July 16, Cardinal Robert Sarah argues that Leo XIV wants to allow the Roman rite, but fails because of the bishops and that the pope will be “very prudent” about the dissemination of the pro-homosexual final text of the synod's Study Group Number 9. On Leo XIV's letter to the French bishops "It seems to me that the Holy Father did well to write to the French Bishops, encouraging them to be more open to the traditional Mass, because it is a Mass we have celebrated for centuries." Follow what Leo XIV says "I think that what was written to the French Bishops must apply to all bishops: be more open, so as not to create division for no reason." "We must follow what Pope Leo says - that is, not be so averse toward something holy, something beautiful, something conducive to recollection." Traditionis Custodes should be abrogated "Yes, let's hope so. This depends on the Holy Father's decision, but perhaps the Holy Father could be helped. If, for example, in a Consistory …Ավելին
Cardinal Robert Sarah questioned whether the Church has authority to suppress the Traditional Latin Mass and urged bishops to be more open to the faithful devoted to it.
The word salad Cardinal Sarah is talking about: Finally, dear brothers, you intend to address the delicate theme of the Liturgy, to which the Holy Father is particularly attentive, in the context of the growth of communities attached to the Vetus Ordo. It is troubling that a painful wound continues to open in the Church concerning the celebration of the Mass, the very sacrament of unity. To heal it, a fresh regard from each person toward the other, with a greater understanding of the other's sensibility, is surely needed — a regard that could allow brothers enriched by their diversity to welcome one another mutually, in charity and in the unity of faith. May the Holy Spirit suggest to you concrete solutions that would generously include those sincerely attached to the Vetus Ordo, while respecting the orientations set forth by the Second Vatican Council regarding the Liturgy. --Cardinal Pietro Parolin The Modernists use obscurity and wiggle words. They know if the Modernist theology gets …Ավելին
And? How can we stop it when Trump, Kennedy and the fake Dr. Oz is working with phizer to help them make more? Soon, I would bewared of Trump trying to force it on us by the request of Bourla. After all it's Trump who refuses to listen to Dr.'s like McCullough that it is dangerous even with mounds of proof in the Senate. NONE of them care. It's their plan. They will do all they can to force it on us and dupe the people. But many have woken up. Still many more need to be shaken awake.

Archbishop Wrote That Leo XIV Shares Pro-Homosexual Agenda: The pro-homosexual final report of the Synod's Study Group Number 9 should not surprise anybody, because certain bishops are encouraging the homosex community, Cardinal Burke told Edward Pentin in a recent video interview. These bishops claim that the Church is changing and that the homosexuals should continue in their sinful ways. Cardinal Burke mentioned the letter from an Archbishop who claimed that "Leo XIV shared this view, because he doesn’t talk about sexual morality." For Cardinal Burke it is completely irresponsible to write something like that.
Three scheduled Masses in the Roman rite in August at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, are likely to be cancelled unless the Diocese of Versailles authorizes a priest to celebrate them. Earlier this year, after months of dialogue, the diocese reached an agreement with representatives of the faithful to ensure that the Latin Mass would be celebrated every Sunday and holy day throughout the year. According to Paix Liturgique (15 July), the Diocese of Versailles acknowledged that it might be unable to provide priests for several summer dates and invited the faithful to propose canonically regular priests to fill the gaps. Most of the missing celebrations have since been covered, but the Masses scheduled for 2, 9, and 23 August remain without an approved celebrant. The faithful say that Rev. Jacques-Pascal Bosi, a priest in good standing of the Diocese of Gap-Embrun who is currently serving on mission in Paris, is available to celebrate the remaining Masses. They state that the Diocese of …Ավելին
I often wonder how people can formulate grammatical sentences completely detached from reality. These migrants choose to leave their homes for financial advantage. The transition from one's home to a foreign land, like the Pilgrims, requires struggle and sacrifice. If dignity is the lifestyle of the native Europeans, then, of course the migrants will be below that standard. Again, the Pilgrims, but for iron tools, were worse off than the native Americans when they arrived. On the other side, the good father seems to imply that it is the obligation of the natives to address this difference with zero concern as to whose money, housing and jobs will be taken to achieve this "dignity." I think the Apostolic Faith is eminently practical. It asks charity from the faithful but does not expect poverty will be eliminated (the poor you will have with you always). The Modernist Faith looks at any inequity and sees it as injustice. There is no recognition of God's permissive will to allow every …Ավելին
Last weekend, Archbishop Luc Terlinden of Mechelen-Brussels, Belgium, attended the General Synod of the Anglican Church of England in York. He was there to find out more about how synodality is practised there. "It functions like a parliament. That fits with the long English tradition. There is a chair and a secretary. Sitting beside them is a lawyer wearing one of those traditional wigs", he told Nd.nl on 15 July. "We are asking ourselves how synodality - the participation of all the faithful - relates to the collegiality of the bishops. As a bishop, I am convinced that a balance must be found between these two realities." Bishop Terlinden added that the bishop or the Pope always has the final say, which makes sense to him: "At the same time, I very much identify with the words that Pope Leo XIV recently addressed to the cardinals: 'I must listen before I lead and learn before I teach.'"

Only God Can Satisfy Your Heart True contentment comes from godliness and a focus on God, not material possessions. St. Paul emphasizes the importance of pursuing justice, faith, charity, and patience, while Jesus teaches that giving up everything for Him results in gaining everything.
