First Foot to Reach the Empty Tomb Lives on in Rome | Shalom World News As the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene on July 22, pilgrims in Rome continue to venerate a remarkable relic believed to be from the left foot of the woman honored as the "Apostle to the Apostles" and the first witness to Christ's Resurrection. Housed in the Basilica of St. John the Baptist of the Florentines, just a short distance from the Vatican, the relic consists of small bone fragments preserved in a silver foot-shaped reliquary, traditionally attributed to renowned Renaissance goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. After disappearing from historical records for centuries, the relic was rediscovered in 2000 and later placed in the basilica for public veneration. According to an ancient tradition, most of St. Mary Magdalene's remains were transferred from Byzantium to France during the ninth century. As they passed through Rome, fragments from her left foot—the foot believed to have first crossed …Hafa
Le reliquie di Maria Maddalena a Roma In pochi però sanno che a Roma, nella chiesa di San Giovanni de’ Fiorentini all’ inizio di Via Giulia, è conservata una sua preziosissima reliquia, il piede: piccoli frammenti ossei rivestiti completamente in argento e conservati in una bellissima teca. La sepoltura di Maria Maddalena avvenne ad Efeso e la sua tomba fu ed è oggetto di grande venerazione. Nel IX secolo i suoi resti furono trasferiti a Costantinopoli. Anni dopo il re di Gerusalemme concesse il corpo della Maddalena al Re di Francia. Questi, di ritorno in patria, passò da Roma e qui omaggiò il Papa deponendo parte della reliquia, il piede sinistro, in una cappella ubicata all’ingresso di Ponte Sant’Angelo. Dopo varie vicissitudini il dono approdò infine nella Basilica in cui oggi è custodito.

He mentions how the history books in Ukraine were changed. That's odd because someone posted more twisted history about Crimea and said, it was never part of Russia. Yet History Professors and experts on Russian history all say the same thing. Crimea was always a part of Russia until the 1950's. Including both Russian and Ukrainians. They all agree, Crimea was always part of Russia! Professor Brovkin, Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, Col Macgregor, and many, many more. Even those I don't normally listen to all said the same thing. Crimea was always part of Russia! I know and most know how our history books have been changed drastically. So I wonder why anyone who do such an underhanded thing to post it and try to get others to believe such a lie that Crimea was never part of Russia. Very sad when people insist on posting propaganda so much. Especially as they are losing the war with their propaganda.

Did you know that there were Catholic Samurais? Meet Justo Ukon Takayama. He was a feudal lord and samurai in 16th-century Japan. When the Shogun banned Christianity, Takayama refused to renounce his faith. He abandoned his status, wealth, and samurai position, choosing exile and poverty over apostasy. He is now a Blessed in the Catholic Church, on the path to being declared a saint.
Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe, for the conversion of the Americas and of the World. ~ O Holy Mary, Virgin Mother of God, who as Our Lady of Guadalupe didst aid in the conversion of Mexico from paganism in a most miraculous way, we now beseech thee to bring about in these our times the early conversion of our modern world from it's present neo-paganism to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of thy Divine Son, Jesus Christ, starting in the Americas and extending throughout the entire world, so that there soon may be truly "one fold and one shepherd," with all governments recognizing the reign of thy Son, Jesus Christ the King. ~ This we ask of the Eternal Father, through Jesus Christ His Son Our Lord and by thy powerful intercession - all for the salvation of souls, the triumph of the Church and peace in the world. ~ Amen. ~ Catholic Prayers, compiled from Traditional sources, page 84.

“Do-It-Yourself” Bishop Factory: Fr. Michael Mary, founder and superior of the Transalpine Redemptorists at Papa Stronsay, Scotland, declared himself a sedevacantist on May 7. Today, he was consecrated as a sedevacantist bishop in the dubious Thục line. The "consecration" was performed by Bishop Pierre Roy, with Bishops Rodrigo Ribeiro da Silva and Fernando Altamira serving as "co-consecrators".

I haven't follow Archbishop Vigano for awhile now. Has it been fully and completely proven he was ordained by Bishop Williamson? I haven't noticed. But I hope he wasn't.
Today, Fr Michael Mary, superior of the sedevacantist Transalpine Redemptorists in Scotland, will be consecrated as an alleged bishop. Katholisch.de traced the long and tangled succession lines of schismatic bishops, focusing primarily on the lines of Marcel Lefebvre (1905-1991) and Pierre Martin Ngô Đình Thục (1897–1984). Here are the key points:. Lefebvre line (FSSPX) Among the different splinter groups, only the SSPX has significant size. In 1988, Lefebvre consecrated Alfonso de Galarreta, Bernard Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, and Richard Williamson as bishops. All four later consecrated additional bishops. In 1991, Tissier de Mallerais consecrated Licínio Rangel for the Priestly Union of St. John Mary Vianney, Brazil. Rangel and his community reconciled with Rome in 2002 and became an Apostolic Personal Administration. The same year Fernando Arêas Rifan became Rangel's coadjutor, but he was consecrated by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, with Rangel serving only as co-…Hafa
I used to wonder how the consecration requested by Our Lady of Fatima, in unison with all the Bishops of the world could ever take place since bishops are all over the place with their beliefs. Then I realized as these bishops ascend to heresy, they are no longer bishops so it may end up being some sede, bishops, SSPX and a few good sons of the church left in the NO. There is the manageable number.

Munich Liturgical Controversy Goes Around the Globe: Many Catholic media outlets across the globe - in English, French, Polish, Spanish, Italian, etc. - are reporting on the latest liturgical abuse from the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The case centers on a Mass for the feast of St. Mary Magdalene, where Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof delivered a "dialogue homily" together with laywoman Theresia Reischl, despite the Holy See's recent reaffirmation that the homily during Mass is reserved to an ordained minister. The celebration also featured liturgical dancing and balloons, further fueling criticism.
