"Today, I saw a vast number of people fall into the fiery pit . . . they seemed to be worldlings and a demon cried vociferously: 'The world is ripe for me . . . I know that the best way to get hold of souls is to rouse their desire for enjoyment . . . Put me first . . . me before the rest . . . no humility for me! but let me enjoy myself . . . This sort of thing assures victory to me . . . and they tumble headlong into hell.' " (October 4, 1923) "I heard a demon, from whom a soul had escaped, forced to confess his powerlessness. 'Confound it all... how do so many manage to escape me? They were mine' (and he rattled off their sins)... 'I work hard enough, yet they slip through my fingers... Someone must be suffering and repairing for them.'" (January 15, 1923). ("Repairing," that is, "making reparation" for them). "Tonight I was transported to a place where all was obscure. . . Around me were seven or eight people; I could see them only by the reflections of the fire. They were seated …More

Our Anglican "brethren" at Wells Cathedral (which was Catholic until the time of Henry VIII) have decided to stage an exhibition of "Mythical Creatures," based on a 17th-century book held in their library. Particularly striking is a fifteen-meter-long dragon—sporting rainbow colors—that soars above the few elderly congregants, baring its menacing claws at them. It serves as a true parable of what awaits us Catholics if we remain passive in the face of the brazen advance of the hierarchical "Pink Lobby." (It is astonishing to see the degree of confusion among some of the faithful—such as the person who wrote on a tag: "Dear dragon: always be kind and generous to entire human kind." As if we didn't know what the dragon symbolizes!) Visit our Blog: pagina-catolica.blogspot.com
St Shmouni, her seven sons, and their teacher, St Eleazar (The Lamb's Witnesses) August 1 is the feast of the 7 Holy Maccabean Martyrs, their mother, St. Shmouni and their teacher, St. Eleazar. St. Shmouni, her seven sons and St. Eleazar, pray for us. The book 2 Maccabees depicts events during the turbulent period of the 170s and 160s BCE. King Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid Empire which then ruled Judea departs on a campaign in the Sixth Syrian War, but becomes enraged after what he interprets as a Jewish revolt. He issues decrees forbidding various traditional Jewish practices, such as keeping kosher and circumcision of sons. The mother and seven sons are swept up in this persecution and are arrested. They are brought directly before Antiochus, tortured, and ordered to eat pork or die. One of the brothers says that even if they were all to die, they would not break the law. The angry king orders the pans and cauldrons heated, and orders that the first brother's tongue …More

What in heaven's name is the Vatican thinking or are they not thinking at all? It's a continued abandonment of the flock in China. Is there thirty pieces of silver involved?
The argument that a volunteer military is expendable is deeply troubling. Millions of trained and willing individuals could confront an unprepared US force Iran has 2 million soldiers. Another 2 million will readily and willing to pick up an AK or something and go fight. You now have 4 million people. The very most we can muster between the Marines and Army merged would be 300,00 is his guess. And probably won't even be able to do that. Military Expendable? Ex-Military Reacts to Outrageous Claims #shorts Why is trump throwing away our money on his useless projects? Only for them to turn out a lot worse than before?

98-YEAR-OLD FINALLY CATHOLIC July 29, 2026 TUCSON — At 98, World War II veteran and retired Illinois cop Raymond “Ray” Martin Sr. has done what many never do: received Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation in one moving rite at the Villas of Marana, surrounded by family, caregivers, and fellow residents. After years of attending Mass and praying the rosary, Martin — visibly tearful, deeply grateful, and finally at peace — embraced the Catholic faith in a powerful reminder that it is never too late for grace.
Un veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial de 98 años recibe el bautismo A los 98 años, después de haber combatido en Okinawa y en Filipinas y de haber servido durante 27 años como policía en Illinois, Raymond Martin pidió ser bautizado. El 16 de julio recibió el bautismo, la confirmación y la primera comunión en el salón de la residencia asistida donde vive, en Tucson (Arizona), rodeado de otros residentes, cuidadores y familiares. Le llevó hasta allí el recuerdo de su esposa católica y la amistad con un diácono que también había sido policía. Martin, conocido como «Ray», nunca había recibido ningún sacramento. Su vínculo con la fe católica venía de su difunta esposa, Ann Marie, con la que acudía a Misa y rezaba el Rosario. hmtv
