Does anyone actually care what ermine clothed lace sleeved men in Rome have to say about anything? I have said it a number of times here-- take away their lifestyle and money and maybe they will (don't hold your breath) stary heeding what Sacred Scripture says.
On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Umberto Longo, Director of the Italian Historical Institute for the Middle Ages in Rome and Professor of Medieval History at the secular Sapienza University of Rome, as a member of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. The online footprint of Umberto Longo repeatedly places that name - and, in later cases, an identifiable Professor Longo - within the institutional environment of Italian Freemasonry and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The examples span a decade. 2013 - Scottish Rite, Lazio: The Masonic publication LOGOS identifies a certain “Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°” as an officer of the Loggia di Perfezione Maestri Segreti “Giano” in Rome. The publication introduces a series of texts under the heading: “Le Tavole del Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°.” The abbreviation Fr. is used throughout for Fratello - “Brother” - while the number identifies the Scottish Rite degree. More importantly, the issue contains the official 2013 officers …More
Life in the Making It all begins in silence: one cell meets another, and in an instant, a new, unique, and unrepeatable life emerges. The imagery unfolds ceaselessly—division, form, heartbeat—until there is no longer any doubt about what we are seeing: not a mass of tissue, but a tiny body, joined to its mother by a cord that serves as both bridge and lifeline. Hands reaching out, legs curled up, a face settling into sleep just as any human being does. And therein lies the wrenching realization: that very being—already capable of movement, sensation, and resembling us—is the one whose life is chosen to be ended in a late-term abortion. It is not an abstract cell that is being stopped; it is a story that already possessed form, expression, and a heartbeat of its own. That is why those who defend life from conception describe such a decision—particularly in the later stages—as an act of special cruelty: because the biological development itself, revealed without filters, leaves little room …More
Vida en construcción Todo empieza en silencio: una célula se encuentra con otra y, en un instante, surge una vida nueva, única, irrepetible. La imagen avanza sin pausa —división, forma, latido— hasta que ya no queda duda de lo que estamos viendo: no una masa de tejido, sino un cuerpo pequeño, unido a su madre por un cordón que es puente y sustento a la vez. Manos que se buscan, piernas recogidas, un rostro que empieza a dormir como duerme cualquier ser humano. Y ahí está el desgarro: ese mismo ser, capaz ya de moverse, de sentir, de parecerse a nosotros, es el que en un aborto a término se decide interrumpir. No es una célula abstracta lo que se detiene: es una historia que ya tenía forma, gesto, latido propio. Por eso quienes defienden la vida desde la concepción llaman a esa decisión, en sus etapas más avanzadas, un acto especialmente cruel: porque el propio desarrollo biológico, mostrado sin filtros, deja poco espacio para la indiferencia. Quien defiende el valor de la vida desde la …More

Trump is being sued over his Truth Social paywall The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan, alleges the paid early-access service violates the First and Fifth Amendments MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump and Natalie Harp getting sued together in a major federal lawsuit.. The complaint names Trump in his official capacity, along with White House Executive Assistant Natalie Harp, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Daniel Scavino, the Executive Office of the President, and the White House Office as defendants. The plaintiffs argue that the arrangement — in which paying subscribers receive the president's official announcements before the general public — violates the First Amendment's guarantee of equal access to a president's public statements and the Fifth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable conditions for government benefits. "This scheme is profoundly corrupt," the complaint says. "The President stands to gain financially by giving 'market-moving …More
Forget the East Wing. The Real Demolition Has Only Just Begun. Aug. 9, 2026 nytimes.com/…rump-washington-landmarks-arch-pool-… By Paul Goldberger Mr. Goldberger is a former architecture critic for The Times and The New Yorker and the author of “Why Architecture Matters.” The proposed “Arc de Trump” in Washington is less a monument than a gaudy construction the height of a skyscraper — a travesty that, if built, would dramatically change the landscape of the nation’s capital. This is probably why President Trump is so eager to get it made as fast as he can. It would be an unavoidable monument to a presidency and a man whom many Americans would rather not honor so conspicuously, if at all. He understands that once it is there, it will be hard for anyone to make it go away. Change is supposed to happen slowly and carefully in Washington, and there are systems in place to make that so. When the National Park Service said last week that the arch would not only block the vista between the …More
For years, a local farmer spent every single night praying the exact same prayer: "Lord, I’m miserable. I’m convinced there isn't a single person on this earth who has it worse than me. I wake up every day wondering what I did to deserve such a raw deal. I just have one simple request: please let me trade my problems with somebody else. I'd gladly swap my baggage with the first guy I see on the street, because there's absolutely no way his life is as messed up as mine. I’m not asking for winning lottery numbers or a perfect life. Just a simple trade. I'm counting on Your mercy here." One day, his prayers were finally answered. A booming voice echoed from the heavens: "Gather up all your troubles, pack them into a duffel bag, and bring them down to the town church." The catch? Everyone in town heard the exact same voice. So, everybody started packing up their own miseries, heartbreaks, and daily struggles into bags. The farmer was absolutely thrilled. Finally, he was going to ditch his …More
The Archdiocese of Utrecht has rejected as false rumours that Cardinal Willem Eijk, 73, could have asked Pope Leo XIV during an audience on Monday to accept his early resignation as Archbishop. “These reports are false. He has not offered his resignation,” the archdiocese told the Dutch newspaper Katholiek Nieuwsblad on Wednesday. An archdiocesan spokesman added that there was no basis for such speculation. The audience attracted attention because Eijk has experienced health problems in recent months and didn't attend the consistories in January and June. The archdiocese also provided an update on the cardinal’s health. “It is known that Cardinal Eijk struggled with health problems last winter,” the spokesman said. His recovery had taken longer than initially hoped, but was now progressing well. According to the archdiocese, Eijk is expected to resume his duties fully on September 1. #newsKxqihmxlwe
