"All Churches, Mosques, and Synagogues Are Sacred": Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger of Detroit spoke at the dedication of the new mosque in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, on June 5. He said there was nowhere he felt greater honor, fraternity, and kindness, and that he had sensed "the divine presence" from the moment he arrived. Echoing the imam, he said that all present belong to the same human family and described all churches, mosques, and synagogues alike as "sacred" places where God reaches out to humanity - places that would bring "all of humanity" into deeper communion with "our one God."

In our time, authority is deeply discredited, both in society and in the Church, whether because of excess or deficiency. This was said by Father Francisco Rivera, 46, on June 14 in an interview with VidaNuevaDigital.com. He was elected on May 20 as the new abbot of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa María de Huerta in Soria, Spain. It is one of Spain’s great monasteries and one of the most important historic houses of the Cistercian Order. Father Rivera acknowledged that the number of vocations has declined drastically: “We can blame the world, its values or lack of them, young people, social media, and so on. But I believe consecrated life must also undertake a rigorous examination of conscience. Perhaps we have become a kind of tasteless salt. And we know what the Lord Jesus says in the Gospel about that.” For the new abbot, the best vocation campaign is “to live, in our case, a serious and coherent monastic life, in fidelity to our monastic commitments and to the Rule of Saint …Ọzọ
Dormition Cathedral at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, part of a UNESCO-listed monastery complex, was damaged during a large Russian missile-and-drone attack on Kyiv on June 15. Ukraine blamed Russia for the damage. Moscow denied targeting the site, claiming that it was caused by a malfunctioning U.S.-supplied Patriot air-defense missile.
@Stepan Rudenko Tell me something. Where do you come off calling me a liar? All because you decided not to look at all our posts for at least the past 6 or 7 years? And ignored the fact that 2 or 3 people were begging us to come and save them and their Church. There are some who remember that if they have been on gtv for years. And there are many. If it was a like someone by now would have denied it. Posts with Church's bombed with the remnants of the bomb showing it was from the UK and US. I and others have posted many video's and pictures of what's going on. My favorite are the independent journalist like Patrick Lancaster who has a channel on youtube going back to 2014!!!! In them you will hear the elderly talk about how he went to them and looked around at the devastation he made to their villages, towns and cities. Who he told them to their face. I hate you! I hate you all! And I am going to kill you all! It's all on his channel. You want proof? Look for it yourself! With him and …Ọzọ
@Instaurare Omnia in Christo A lie has no feet. Don't lie; instead, give examples of where Ukraine has bombed "numerous churches, hospitals, schools, universities, and museums." Where has Zelenskyy bought houses around the world? Russia is destroying houses and wiping out entire Ukrainian towns and villages!
Today, Pope Leo XIV received a delegation from the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York (UJA-Federation) in the Apostolic Palace. Founded in 1917, the UJA-Federation is among the world's largest Jewish philanthropic organizations, supporting “the poor”, refugees, and other vulnerable populations in New York, Israel, and more than seventy countries worldwide. Welcoming the delegation, Leo XIV praised the organization as an instrument of global Jewish philanthropy. It demonstrates a profound commitment to human fraternity that resonates with the Church's own vision of integral human development. Leo XIV Rejects Discrimination Based on Religion Leo XIV recalled that sixty-six years ago, in 1960, Pope John XXIII welcomed a delegation from the same organization with the memorable words, "I am Joseph, your brother" (Genesis 45:4). Then, Leo XIV observed that this encounter helped inspire a new era in Catholic-Jewish relations and contributed to the development of the Second Vatican …Ọzọ
Archbishop Franco Moscone of Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo has come under criticism after signing a petition calling on the Il Libro Possibile festival to reconsider hosting Israeli novelist Eshkol Nevo. According to AgenSir on June 15, Monsignor Moscone argued that intellectuals have a duty to speak clearly in the face of injustice. He added that Nevo had failed to provide sufficient "criticism and clarity" regarding the actions of the Israeli government. He insisted that "the issue is not that Nevo is Israeli." Festival organizers rejected the petition and confirmed that Nevo will participate as scheduled, noting that the writer has repeatedly spoken in favor of peace. The initiative triggered sharp reactions within the Italian Church. Archbishop Giuseppe Baturi, secretary-general of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), said that "peace is not built by preventing those who think differently from speaking." Archbishop Carmelo Pennisi of Monreale described the campaign as …Ọzọ
With Vatican II's document NOSTRA AETATE, non-Christian religions were basically proclaimed to be equal to Catholicism. A huge can of poisonous worms was thus released.
As the video on this link points out, this book is an excellent guide for converts - which I was, 25 years ago when I bought this little treasure for myself at a local Catholic bookstore. Truly, Of Mary There is NEVER ENOUGH
Today, Archbishop Carlo Viganò published the personal letter that he had sent to Pope Leo XIV in January. It appears that - despite Viganò having denied that Francis was a legitimate pope - he recognizes Leo XIV. Monsignor Viganò addresses Leo XIV as "Holiness," asks him to exercise his authority, and seeks an audience with him. Archbishop Viganò recounts his long career in Vatican service, argues that he was punished for exposing corruption and doctrinal problems in the Church, explains how retirement led him to reject Vatican II and the post-conciliar direction of the Church, defends himself against the charge of schism, and urges Leo XIV to break with the errors of the Francis era and the synodal project. The letter contains a noticeably heavy use of first-person pronouns and is full of self-reference, emphasis on personal integrity, descriptions of persecution and mistreatment, frequent presentation of himself as a key witness to major events, and relatively little self-criticism …Ọzọ
Leo XIV’s newly appointed archbishop of New York, the effeminate Monsignor Ronald Hicks, celebrated a recent win of the New York basketball team ‘Knicks’ with the Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the city’s Puerto Rican festival. On Sunday, Hicks abused the homily during the Eucharist to talk about his basketball religion again.
This is the new Archbishop of New York (lacking some male hormons to my mind)

“The Church cannot be the receptacle for events and gatherings that have no connection to the spiritual identity and sacred purpose of these holy places—churches, chapels, oratories, and shrines,” Bishop Emeritus Dominique Rey told TribuneChretienne.com (June 13) in response to Paris's blasphemous Nuit Blanche festival on June 6–7. During the event, a masturbating figure was displayed inside a church. Rather than addressing the responsibility of the Archbishop of Paris, Bishop Rey recast the controversy as one example of a wider pattern of general offenses against places of worship: “We are currently seeing an increase in sacrilegious acts, vandalism, and offensive insults that damage the integrity of places of worship, which scandalizes and angers the faithful,” he said. Monsignor Rey's intervention appears to be the first episcopal response to the scandal. #newsTbrnwdjrwb
On Saturday, more than 1,000 Catholics took part in a Eucharistic Rosary procession through Derry in Northern Ireland. The procession was part of the first Worldwide Marian Procession, held in conjunction with around 400 parishes and 50 Marian shrines worldwide. The public prayer, which brought the streets to a standstill, was supported by Bishop Donal McKeown of Derry.
They should have just listened and looked at all the documents that Russia held up and showed the world they had it. Instead of calling it Russian propaganda. Showing pictures of where and what they looked like. So the world will know what is going on. After Russia kept warning us and showed the proof, victoria newland had no choice but to admit it. But "TRIED" to turn it on Russia that they were afraid IF Russia found out they would try to take it for themselves. Or some such nonsense. Morons. If they wanted it for themselves, would they have tried to warn us we have them? Or just take them without a sound. Now this administration is trying to say, they are worried with the conflict going on? Russians are highly intelligent. Russia already said from day one, they must be very careful not to even go near them. That if it was bombed, diseases or the chemicals in the lab can escape. And no one knows how deadly or serious the situation is. Russia is on the ball. They know better than this …Ọzọ
"Devil" Beer Tap in Belgian Confessional: A deconsecrated church built in 1878 in Antwerp, Belgium, has served as a foyer for Theater Elckerlyc since 2025. One confessional now contains a token machine, while another has been fitted with a self-service Duvel 6.66% beer tap. "Duvel" is Dutch for "devil" and is also the name of a Belgian beer brand. An earlier report claimed the diocese had approved the concept, but the article was corrected on 10 June: the diocese says it was not involved in the redevelopment.
