Rev. Joseph was seven when he saw his father murder his mother. Decades later, he became a Catholic priest. Born Youssef in Cluses in the French Alps, he was seven when he returned from a ski camp and found his father stabbing his mother. She died hours later. His father was imprisoned and Youssef placed in foster care. At 18, he was expelled. Alcoholism cost him his work and housing, and he spent three years living on a bench in Grenoble. There, a priest named Gérard greeted him daily. After three years, Gérard sat beside him and invited him for coffee—the start of Youssef’s recovery. After three detoxifications and two rehabilitation stays, he became sober, converted to Catholicism and took the name Joseph. He later travelled to his father’s grave in Constantine, Algeria, where he says he forgave him. Joseph entered seminary at 44 and was ordained for the Archdiocese of Paris in 2020. He now serves at the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre.
Poor Jesus. Just as there is nothing sacred in dancing on Calvary, there is nothing sacred in jumping in the presence of Jesus in the holy sacrament. One more hireling leading the flock astray.

Episcopal preacher Flourish Klink, given name Madeline, sparked controversy this week after a March 21 sermon resurfaced online. Klink declared “God is trans” and, referring to Our Lady and Jesus’ birth, claimed he was “assigned a gender at birth” that “wasn’t quite right.” Klink concluded: “Jesus was not only transfigured. I think that Jesus transitioned.” Klink’s hand gestures during the sermon come across as distinctly feminine.

Tragic Suicide of Italian -Priest, 75 Italian priest Lino Zatelli, 75, killed himself on August 12. He had been parish priest of San Carlo Borromeo in Trento for a quarter of a century. He was found dead inside the rectory of his parish after he didn’t show up to celebrate the Eucharist. Corriere del Trentino reported the death as a voluntary act. Two months earlier he had learned that he would have to leave San Carlo in November for another pastoral assignment. Zatelli publicly said he had not asked to leave. Sad detail: During his Easter homily, Don Zatelli preached about Judas's suicide. He discussed Judas as someone overwhelmed by despair who could no longer see beyond the obstacle before him, but emphasized Christ's forgiveness and imagined Jesus ultimately embracing Judas in heaven. Eucharists Beyond Rubrics A 2019 interview called him the “eternal bad boy of the Trentino Church.” A November 2020 profile describes Zatelli as working in a kind of laboratory parish. His Eucharists …მეტი
We are obliged to pray for all of the lost, but the point is clear - current theological aberrations are poisoning the Faith and the Faithful. We are being led by those who "are like whitewashed sepulchers, which outwardly appear brilliant to men, yet truly, inside, they are filled with the bones of the dead and with all filth." Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

The Infinite Ocean I remember when I was in highschool, the school took us to a catholic retreat, the confessional was open and it was my turn, an old priest was waiting, I sat down and pour my sins in the open, that confession was like any other... Repeat offender? Yeah, Did I want to get better? Sure, but the only thing I remember about this particular confession was what happened at the end... The priest took his hand and put it exactly where my heart is and said to me: "Remember this, Jesus loves you, He loves you." My heart started to burn, literally... The sensation or the feel of this fire burning my heart from the inside out was surprising yes, ethereal and magnific... There and then I knew Love. This actually happened to me, such an unworthy human being, no humility, no holiness, no nothing just a sad clown looking to roll with the world, while my Lord waited and waited and waited and still... waits on me, this sack of unworthiness, I wish the Love I was shown in my heart would've …მეტი
