Just like Pope Leo who served in Latin America, so did the Ven. Eusebio Kino do the same in Tucson & Mexico; could reach sainthood 2025 SAN XAVIER INDIAN RESERVATION, Ariz. -- PAUL CICALA REPORTS" The Tucson area may someday get a visit from Pope Francis if and when Father Eusebio Kino becomes a saint. Kino is already widely known as the 'Patron Saint of the Borderlands' for his efforts establishing 21 missions in what is now Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. The list includes Tucson's world-renown church, San Xavier Del Bac Mission. The San Xavier Del Bac Mission was established in 1692 by Father Kino and built by Tohono O'odham tribal members. According to officials, Kino is two steps away from Sainthood. "There's probably some mixed feelings among the (Tohono) O'odham," said Ned Norris, Chairman of the Tohono O'odham Nation. Norris says he is not surprised Father Eusebio Kino was recently declared a "venerable" by Pope Francis. The next steps are canonization, beatification and then sainthood …More
Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo plans the first diocesan synod in Oslo before the 2030 jubilee of St. Olaf. “A diocesan synod is not a democratic assembly,” Bishop Hansen wrote on August 6 on Katolsk.no, the website of the Catholic Church in Norway. “As bishop, I am also obliged to exclude from the synod anything that contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church,” he added. “It is not for us to decide on matters of faith and morals.” The synod will arrive at plans and documents that are “presented to me as bishop and brought to a decision by me.” Bishop Hansen indicated that participation in the assemblies would probably resemble “a considerably expanded pastoral council.” He compared his diocesan synod with the synods held by St Archbishop Charles Borromeo of Milan “in accordance with the provisions of the Council of Trent.” However, his working method “will resemble that of the Second Vatican Council,” he threatened. Bishop Hansen recently extended permission for the …More
Biblical Cosmology: The Earth Is a Stationary Plane Beneath the Celestial Vault - The Bible makes no mention of outer space or the trillions upon trillions of other planets that modern astronomers claim exist. Nor does it mention a Big Bang beginning or the force of gravity that keeps people and oceans attached to all sides of a rotating sphere. The cosmology described in the Bible is clearly geocentric, fixed, and motionless, with a flat Earth. Source:youtube.com/watch?v=mkDfxFR5gwg
Pick your favorite travel website, like Travelocity. Create two flight plans circumnavigating the earth. One above the equator and the other below the equator. If the earth was flat, the flight below the equator should be about 3 times longer "near the ice wall" than "near the flat earth center". You will find that they are nearly the same.
– Folha de S. Paulo, July 9, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira IN A world wide report by the Ansa News Agency also published by several Roman dailies, “comrade” Alessandro Natta, the new Secretary General of the Italian Communist Party affirmed, in an interview requested by Vatican Radio, that he did not see the Catholic Faith as an “obstacle,” but on the contrary, a “possible point of support” for the “perspectives” that, in his judgment, the Italian Communist Party (PCI) and the Catholic Church have in common. These perspectives are: “the liberation of man and the peoples, the affirmation of the values of peace and morality in their highest sense” (Il Messaggero, Rome, 6-30-84). On that occasion, the interviewer appointed by Vatican Radio asked Natta if “something new will arise in the relations between the PCI and the Catholic world.” The answer of the Italian politician was evasive, but not devoid of significance: “It would be timely and just to follow the inspiration that began …More
Dying To Self Produces Abundant Spiritual Fruit The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of dying to self to produce much fruit, not just for ourselves but for others and God. This requires a joyful disposition, giving ourselves to God and others out of love, not selfishness. By doing so, we align ourselves with God’s will, glorify Him, and grow spiritually, ultimately becoming more perfectly like Him. Fr.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,1-5.10.12-14. The disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.” …More
Hiroshima must remain forever in humanity's memory as a warning, not a precedent. Behind that explosion lay lives, families, dreams, and generations scarred by a pain that should never be repeated. No conflict, ideology, or pursuit of power can justify such a tragedy. May the memory of Hiroshima help us understand that, given our capacity for self-destruction, peace, dialogue, and reason are not merely options—they are a responsibility we owe to humanity and to generations yet to come. Never again a nuclear war.
Hiroshima debe permanecer para siempre en la memoria de la humanidad como una advertencia, no como un precedente. Tras aquella explosión había vidas, familias, sueños y generaciones marcadas por un dolor que jamás debería repetirse. Ningún conflicto, ideología o afán de poder puede justificar semejante tragedia. Que el recuerdo de Hiroshima nos ayude a comprender que, dada nuestra capacidad de autodestrucción, la paz, el diálogo y la razón no son meras opciones: son una responsabilidad que tenemos con la humanidad y con las generaciones venideras. Nunca más una guerra nuclear.
Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Piotr Pytłowany, 57, as the new Bishop of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. He is a fidei donum missionary priest of the Polish Archdiocese of Przemyśl. Kazakh Catholicism is small and deeply marked by Soviet persecution, particularly in Karaganda with a strong consciousness of the martyrs. Liturgical practice is pious and Communion in the hand forbidden. Monsignor Pytłowany has worked for decades within the tiny and very Catholic Kazakh hierarchy. Unlike Bishop Schneider, Pytłowany publicly embraced the 2022 Astana interreligious Congress with Francis and spoke - in language reminiscent of the Abu Dhabi fraternity approach - of Kazakhstan’s “beautiful diversity of religious confessions.” Background on Karaganda Karaganda is famous for its Catholicism, connected with Bishop Jan Paweł Lenga, 76. From 1991–1999, Bishop Lenga was Apostolic Administrator of the entire Kazakhstan. After Catholic structures were reorganized in 1999, he became Bishop of Karaganda until …More
SAINT CLARE of Assisi - August 11 Foundress (1194-1253) Virgin (1194-1253) On Palm Sunday, March 17, 1212, Assisi's bishop presented a palm to a noble 18-year-old maiden. St. Clare emulated St. Francis and spurned worldly vanity. She resolved to live for God alone. She went with one companion to the Church of the Portiuncula and was met by St. Francis. At the Altar of Our Lady, he cut her hair and clothed her in his habit of penance: a sack-cloth with a cord as a girdle. Thus, she was espoused to Christ. In a rustic house outside Assisi, St. Clare founded her Order. Her 14-year-old sister joined her and later her mother along with other noble ladies. They walked barefoot, observed perpetual abstinence, constant silence and perfect poverty. When the Saracen army of Frederick II ravaged the valley of Spoleto, some mercenaries menaced St. Clare's convent. She placed the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance above the monastery gate, and kneeling before it prayed, "Deliver us, O Lord, the souls …More
Saint Clare of Assisi - August 11 breski1 SAINT CLARE Virgin (1194-1253) On Palm Sunday, March 17, 1212, the Bishop of Assisi left the altar to present a palm to a noble maiden, eighteen years of age, whom bashfulness had detained in her place. This maiden was St. Clare. Already she had learnt from St. Francis to hate the world, and was secretly resolved to live for God alone. The same night she escaped, with one companion, to the Church of the Portiuncula, where she was met by St. Francis and his brethren. At the altar of Our Lady, St. Francis cut off her hair, clothed her in his habit of penance, a piece of sack-cloth, with his cord as a girdle. Thus she was espoused to Christ. In a miserable house outside Assisi she founded her Order, and was joined by her sister, fourteen years of age, and afterwards by her mother and other noble ladies. They went barefoot, observed perpetual abstinence, constant silence, and perfect poverty. While the Saracen army of Frederick II was ravaging the …More
This man is a liar. He is untrustworthy and downright evil like his boss. Funny how Trump ignored everything a good man suggested and warned him about. Colonel Macgregor. Yet he choose a punk like Hegseth? A man accused of many crimes. Not by one person but by many. A rapist and a drunk. And the beast choose him. Why does Trump hire all criminals and evil people. Why is he friends with the most evil people in the world. Defending them. Pardoning them and so on. Yet there are some, sadly Catholics who will defend every evil thing that the beast and his sick administration says and does. Who would have thought GOD would use such an insignificant country like Iran to bring America down to her knees and to humiliate the beast and his sick administration on a daily bases? The might shall fall and the weak shall rise.
Deep Dives @DeepDivesUsa THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. His lawyers didn’t show up to negotiate. They showed up to BEG. Here’s what Bondi’s team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama’s codename — RENEGADE: — 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.” — A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN. — Communications with Epstein’s handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.” — A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office. He didn’t just betray America. He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired. His lawyers are now offering FULL COOPERATION in exchange for immunity. Trump said no. No deals. No mercy. No escape. The man who divided …More
Do they have proof those things were done? Or just lying and twisting more things which this administration is famous for? And everyone who seeks the truth, seeks to see the other over 3,000,000 files which they refuse to release. What are they hiding? Whom are they protecting. I don't trust a word one person in this administration says. Release the other over 3,000,0000 files. Start showing real proof. Not edited, not fake pictures or ai. Show us what they really found. Maybe, just maybe we might believe something from them Until then? I don't even bother to listen to a word any of them say.
– Folha de S. Paulo, November 13, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Having always avoided partisan battles, I had planned to stay silent on the shifting dynamics of the succession debates. This was especially true since, until recently, the ideological differences between the two candidates were vague — almost intangible—and therefore did not warrant serious commentary. Aside from a doctrinal perspective, any interference on my part in this great “brouhaha” would be pointless. I don’t have a structured constituency to lend political weight to my statement, and my role in the Brazilian public sphere is purely ideological or doctrinal. It so happens, however, that in recent weeks, the landscape of political controversy has experienced notable shifts. For quite some time, Mr. Tancredo Neves’s public stance leaned left, with only occasional right-wing statements meant to reassure conservative voters in his home region. Mr. Paulo Maluf, on the other hand, maintained a subtly right-leaning …More
1) Isaiah 49:3; Yhaewh have said: “You are my servant Israel, through you i will be glorified.” 2) Luke 9:52-54; He sent messengers ahead of him, and they went and entered a Samaritan village to make preparations for Him; but they did not welcome Him because He was on His way to Jerusalem. When His disciples James and John (Boanerges: sons of thunder, Mark 3:17) saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” 3) Deuteronomy 33:8-10; “Give to Levi Your Urim and Your Thummim, to the man after Your own heart, whom You tested at Massah, with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah, who said of his father and mother, ‘I have not seen them.’ He who does not recognize his brothers and does not acknowledge his children. For they keep Your Word and observe Your Covenant. They teach Your Decrees to Jacob and Your Law to Israel; they offer incense before Your Face and a perfect Sacrifice on Your altar. 4) Psalm 137:5-6; “O Jerusalem, if I forget you,…More
