INSIDE THE TRADITIONAL BIRTHPLACE OF THE VIRGIN MARY Near the Pools of Bethesda and the beginning of the Via Dolorosa stands the Church of St. Anne, one of Jerusalem’s best-preserved Crusader churches and an important Catholic pilgrimage site in the Holy Land. For centuries, Christians have honored this sacred place as the home of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. But pilgrims come here for another reason. Ancient Christian tradition also remembers this area as the birthplace of the Virgin Mary. Before Our Lady stood at the foot of the Cross, held the Child Jesus, and said yes to God, she was a child raised by Saints Joachim and Anne. The Church of St. Anne was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century over earlier Christian remains. After Saladin took Jerusalem, it was preserved and used as a Muslim school. Today, Catholic pilgrims visit this Marian shrine to pray and sing. Beneath the church is an ancient stone grotto honored as the place of Mary’s …Zvimwe
Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, Scotland, declared Fr. Michael Mary Sim, 72, Superior of the Transalpine Redemptorists, excommunicated on July 25. After publicly embracing sedevacantism in May, he was found guilty of schism. Although the consecration as Sedevacantist bishop took place on the same day the diocesan judgment was published, Bishop Gilbert clarified that the canonical trial had been completed before the ceremony and therefore did not include the new offense in its verdict. Bishop Gilbert stated that Fr. Michael Mary was found guilty on multiple ecclesiastical charges, the most serious being schism: "As a result, he is declared to be excommunicated, dismissed from ecclesiastical office, and prohibited from the celebration of Mass or the other sacraments." The diocese said the Vatican's competent dicasteries had been informed throughout the process. Bishop Gilbert also noted that the penalties could be lifted should Fr. Michael Mary sincerely repent and seek reconciliation …Zvimwe

After two years of diocesan vacancy, on 22 July, Bishop José Guadalupe Torres Campos, 66, was installed as the third Bishop of Ecatepec, Mexico. The diocese has 1.5 million Catholics and around 100 parishes. A native of León, Guanajuato, Torres Campos was until then the Bishop of Ciudad Juárez and has ministered along Mexico’s northern border for the last eleven years. Many pictures on the internet show him in civilian clothes. Leo XIV has appointed a vocal advocate of immigration and a pastoral ideologue of "closeness2 and "acocompaniment". Bishop Torres became known for his focus on migrants, including celebrating liturgical abuses in the middle of the Rio Grande border river. He was also committed to social outreach. During the installation, Bishop Torres described the “synodal” style of ministry he will represent: "I come with the sincere desire to listen before speaking, to understand before deciding, and to love before asking. I want to be a bishop who is close to the people, a …Zvimwe
"57. To sum up, Mary becomes all things for the soul that wishes to serve Jesus Christ. She enlightens his mind with her pure faith. She deepens his heart with her humility. She enlarges and inflames his heart with her charity, makes it pure with her purity, makes it noble and great through her motherly care."

Experience will teach you much more about this devotion than I can tell you, but, if you remain faithful to the little I have taught you, you will acquire a great richness of grace that will surprise you and fill you with delight. 54. Let us set to work, then, dear soul, through perseverance in the living of this devotion, in order that Mary's soul may glorify the Lord in us and her spirit be within us to rejoice in God her Saviour. Let us not think that there was more glory and happiness in dwelling in Abraham's bosom - which is another name for Paradise - than in dwelling in the bosom of Mary where God has set up his throne.

Saint John Vianney, the cure of Ars, had a profound and famous devotion to St. Philomena, attributing all his miraculous healings and the conversion of his parish to her intercession. ~ He famously stated, "I have never asked for anything through the intercession of my Little Saint without having been answered". Note: The Litany of St. Philomena was composed by St. John Vianney. He also built a majestic chapel and erected an altar dedicated to St. Philomena in Ars, France. ~ Pope Pius XI by a brief of April 23rd, 1929, made the cure of Ars "Patron of all parish priests in the world". ~ St. John Vianney, Pray for us!
"My Children, St. Philomena has great power with God. Her virginity and generosity in embracing heroic martyrdom has rendered her so agreeable to God that He will never refuse anything she asks for us." ~ St. Jean-Marie Vianney, Cure of Ars.

According to Our Lady of Lasalette, they are two worm ridden Popes. I don't recall her saying anything about fake or pretend or imposters etc. I also remember Marie-Julie Jahenny calling them two bad Popes. They are what they are. rotten to the core. We don't see things as GOD sees them. We don't know all GOD knows. Maybe he doesn't see the sede's as fake. Just really very bad Catholics. I don't know for sure. But I want nothing to do with the sede's or anyone else like them. As in the prots and so on.
Why Does This Blood Change State Every July 27 ? — Saint Pantaleon Each year on July 27, within churches in Madrid and Ravello, a small relic attributed to Saint Pantaleon draws quiet attention. For most of the year, the substance remains solid, carefully preserved, approached with restraint rather than expectation. Historical records note that during the annual observance, without heating or physical intervention, the relic appears to change state. This moment unfolds within prayer, silence, and inherited practice, recorded repeatedly across centuries without commentary or imposed interpretation. This documentary explores how the Church has remembered this event not as a spectacle, but as a testimony carried through continuity. Set within real places, dates, and lived tradition, the story invites reflection shaped by time, patience, and careful observation rather than explanation.

He is particularly critical of the community's leader at the time, Father Ramón Angles, whom he portrays as an authoritarian priest with extremist ideological views. Massett accuses him of fostering a culture of intimidation, public humiliation, and fear. Later in the article, he discusses abuse allegations against Angles, citing investigations by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), testimonies from former students, and the case of an alleged victim who later died by suicide. At the same time, the article notes that Angles, through his attorney, has categorically denied all allegations.
– Folha de S. Paulo, January 12, 1983 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I revisit the points I discussed in my last article about the position five prominent Brazilian bishops have taken on the legalization of the Brazilian Communist Party. 1. As I see it, four of the five prelates who addressed the issue in Folha de S. Paulo (December 26, 1982) went beyond their authority and essentially supported the creation of a hidden yet harsh centrist dictatorship in Brazil — one disguised as a strange democracy where disagreement would no longer be a right. In such a system, freedom in the secular sphere would be limited to the right — actually, the obligation — to endorse whatever the bishops decide. As emphasized in a previous article, I agree that the PCB should not be given the right to operate. I am convinced that no democracy, nor any of the three legitimate forms of government, can recognize such a right. This is not because communist preaching itself is a serious threat. It is permitted in …Zvimwe
"56. Behold now I commend my soul to God who is most faithful and for whom I perform my mission in obscurity, but he is no respecter of persons and he chose me for this service that I might be one of the least of his ministers."
[Saint Patrick - mid-fifth to early-sixth century; born: Roman Britain/died: Ireland; Missionary, Bishop; Apostle of Ireland] 54. Behold, I call on God as my witness upon my soul that I am not lying; nor would I write to you for it to be an occasion for flattery or selfishness, nor hoping for honour from any one of you. Sufficient is the honour which is not yet seen, but in which the heart has confidence. He who made the promise is faithful; he never lies. 55. But I see that even here and now, I have been exalted beyond measure by the Lord, and I was not worthy that he should grant me this, while I know most certainly that poverty and failure suit me better than wealth and delight, but Christ the Lord was poor for our sakes; I certainly am wretched and unfortunate; even if I wanted wealth I have no resources, nor is it my own estimation of myself, for daily I expect to be murdered or betrayed or reduced to slavery if the occasion arises.

All ten children of Gertrude Scheerer, a widow, entered religious life. During the episcopal ordination of one of them—Bishop Aloysius Louis Scheerer, O.P., as Bishop of Multan, Pakistan—Pope John XXIII exclaimed in amazement, “One mama?” One of the siblings replied, “Yes, Your Holiness, one mama!” Among the siblings were six priests (five Discalced Carmelites and one Dominican) and three Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine de Ricci.
Wow, domestic church heavenly harvest! "And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred." St. Mark 4:20
This is a Novus Ordo church Cardinal. I honestly believe their lack of spiritual dignity of office is in part due to their invalid orders. Valid ordination doesn’t make one a saint, but it does bring graces and good fruits which the Novus Ordo clergy clearly lack. Chris(@FreeIrishman7) on X

He was consecrated a bishop on May 8. On Sunday, July 19, he celebrated a Eucharist during the diocesan Youth Day in the bullring in Yahualica, attended by some 1,300 young people. Still wearing his mitre and liturgical vestments, he started hopping and dancing around like an overexcited young person.
