ALSO WE HAVE THIS. Ukrainian press gang abducts naked man (VIDEO) The incident reportedly occurred in Kharkov as complaints about Kiev’s forced mobilization campaign continue to mount Search results Well, we are told by some people that Ukraine has a great army. That it's Russian Soldiers who are dying. So why is Zelensky calling to conscripting women? Why is he raising an army of children soldiers? And why is he taking people in the workforce who are exempt and conscripting them now? He already forced disabled people and lowered the age as well. They are constantly dragging people out of their homes and off the streets, out of classrooms and anywhere else they can. Don't forget they are calling for mercenaries and duping them into receiving a lot of money, food and so on. Only to find out they are treated worse than dirt and thrown on the front lines. Never to be paid but find them dead. Or running away. Thank GOD Russia will save their lives when captured and they don't kill them.

Dropping MOAB on Iran would invite all-out retaliation across the Gulf – academic Iran’s retaliation to the US dropping the "Mother of all bombs" (MOAB) on it would be aimed at any US-linked targets in the region, Prof. Mohammad Marandi, former adviser to the Iranian nuclear negotiations team, said on Judge Napolitano’s podcast. “It goes beyond just oil and gas infrastructure, it means everything that is somehow linked to the United States, whether it’s data centers or banks or anything that is of any value,” he elaborated. Marandi also pointed out that the US previously dropped a MOAB on Afghanistan, but it did not help them win the war there. geopolitics_prime
In a speech given on Oct. 7, Vatican interreligious dicastery head Cardinal George Koovakad attacked "integrists". And: The 1986 Assisi interreligious prayer meeting, "becomes part of the ordinary teaching of the Magisterium. It is no longer merely an event to be remembered: It is a criterion through which to interpret the present."
Catholic criticism of the 1986 Assisi meeting is "schismatic", and this interreligious prayer meeting is part of the "ordinary magisterium". These remarks were made by Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad in a speech on 7 October at the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome. He is the Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue. Cardinal Koovakad recalled that, in 1986, 160 religious leaders gathered “to pray: each faithful to his own tradition, all before the Mystery”. Despite the presence of a Buddha statue on the altar and photographic evidence, Cardinal Koovakad insisted that “the encounter had been conceived and experienced without a shadow of syncretism.” He added that “not everyone understood it”: “Integrist circles contested the day, even making it one of the reasons for a schismatic rupture, while others feared syncretism or relativism, as they still do today.” Cardinal Koovakad paraphrased Leo XIV's encyclical 'Magnificent Humanity', saying that “the 'spirit of …More

Bebo’s FriendsZelensky: The war will cost €155 billion next year. And we need at least another €70 billion from you for defense, weapons and our resilience. This is a realistic amount. And I ask you to find this support. It will help us deter Russia.
Georgetown University, the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit university, is hosting several pro-LGBT events as part of its celebration of “LGBTQ+ History Month,” or “OUTober,” while trying to claim a Catholic identity.
This is really good, I'll save and share it. The Art of War and Thick Face, Black Heart seem to reveal an ancient, strong Catholic influence. Similar to finding that Confucius and Thomas A Kempis are both credited for the saying, "No matter where you go, there you are."

God’s Servants Feast: October 17 John the Dwarf John the Dwarf is best known for his obedience. The most famous story about his obedience is that one day Saint Pambo gave Abba John a piece of dry wood and ordered him to plant and water it. John obeyed and went on watering it twice a day even though the water was about 12 miles from where they lived. After three years, the piece of wood sprouted and grew into a fruitful tree. Pambo took some of this tree's fruits and went around to all the elder monks, saying "take, eat from the fruit of obedience". Postumian, who was in Egypt in 402, assured that he was shown this tree which grew in the yard of the monastery and which he saw covered with shoots and green leaves. Ababius was a monk of Scetes and is a saint of the Coptic Church. He is the subject of a long biography attributed in manuscript form to John the Dwarf. The manuscript has yet to be translated into English.

From age 18, he lived in an underground cave he dug in the desert of Skete. Spiritual student of Saint Poemen and Saint Ammoes. Noted for being short of stature, short of temper, and conceited by nature; he did not grow in height, but as his faith increased, so did his gentleness and humility. In later life he was known for absent-mindedness, his thoughts being on the spiritual life. As a test of his new humble obedience, his director ordered him to water a walking staff stuck in the sand; John did so. It later blossomed, and John referred to it as the “tree of obedience”.

"Meddle thee not with other men's goods, neither busy thee in great men s causes: have always an eye to thyself and diligently inform and admonish thyself before all others.

If thou have not the favour of worldly-living people, sorrow not therefor: but let this be thy daily sorrow, that thou behavest not thyself in thy conversation, as it beseemeth a good religious person to do. It is more expedient and more profitable that a man sometimes lack consolations in this life, than that he have them always after his own will, namely, fleshly consolations. Nevertheless, that we have not sometimes heavenly consolations, or that we so seldom feel them as we do, is through our own default : for we seek not to have true …More
