[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 53 ~ The Mother and Son’s words of blessing for each other, and about how the Virgin is likened to the ark wherein the staff, the manna, and the tablets of the Law were, and many wonderful things are revealed in this comparison. The Virgin Mary spoke to the Son and said: “Blessed be you, my Son, my God, and Lord of angels! You are the one whose voice the prophets heard, whose body the apostles saw, and the one whom the Jews and your enemies laid their hands on. You are one God with your Divinity and Manhood and Holy Spirit. For the prophets heard the Spirit, the apostles saw the glory of your Divinity, and the Jews crucified your Manhood. Therefore, may you be blessed without beginning and without end.” The Son answered: “Blessed be you, for you are Virgin and Mother. You are the Ark of the Old Law in which …More
"Therefore, no one shall enter Heaven, but the one who has been purged like gold in the fire of purgatory or who has proved himself over a long duration of time in good deeds on earth so that there is no stain in him left to be purged away. If you do not know to whom my words should be sent, I will tell you: The one who is worthy to have my words is the one who wants to gain merit through good deeds in order to come to the kingdom of Heaven or who already has deserved it with their good deeds in the past. To such as these shall my words be opened up to and enter into them. Those who have a taste for my words and who humbly hope that their names are written in the Book of Life keep my words. But those who have no have taste for my words, consider them first, but then throw up and vomit them out immediately.”
Today, Leo XIV made two linked appointments in Pakistan, involving a strange exchange of dioceses between two prelates. Monsignor Khalid Rehmat has become the Archbishop of Lahore. He had previously served as Apostolic Vicar of Quetta. Archbishop Sebastian Francis Shaw, who was previously Archbishop of Lahore, is the new Apostolic Vicar of Quetta. Lahore is the most important Catholic archdiocese in Pakistan with 500,000 Catholics. Quetta has 34,000 Catholics. Allegations of Fraud, Nepotism, Abuse Monsignor Shaw had led Lahore since 2013, before being removed from active leadership in 2024. In August 2024, the Vatican forced him to step aside temporarily. The investigation involved serious accusations, including financial corruption, the misuse of church property, nepotism, and allegations of sexual misconduct. The Vatican's investigation has never been publicly concluded with a judgment. Appreciate and Celebrate the Diverse Religions His successor, Archbishop Rehmat, had only become …More
'If you wish to imitate the multitude, then you shall not be among the few who shall enter in by the narrow gate.' St. Augustine, Doctor and Father of the Church 'Woe to you who command others! If so many are damned by your fault, what will happen to you? If few out of those who are first in the Church of God are saved, what will happen to you? Take all states, both sexes, every condition: husbands, wives, widows, young women, young men, soldiers, merchants, craftsmen, rich and poor, noble and plebian. What are we to say about all these people who are living so badly? The following narrative from Saint Vincent Ferrer will show you what you may think about it. He relates that an archdeacon in Lyons gave up his charge and retreated into a desert place to do penance, and that he died the same day and hour as Saint Bernard. After his death, he appeared to his bishop and said to him, "Know, Monsignor, that at the very hour I passed away, thirty-three thousand people also died. Out of this …More
"'All infidels and heretics are surely on the way to being lost. What an obligation we owe God! For causing us to be born not only after the coming of Jesus Christ, but also in countries where the true faith reigns! I thank Thee, O Lord, for this. Woe to me if, after so many transgressions, it had been my fate to live in the midst of infidels or heretics!' St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Doctor of the Church"
The Synod Secretariat today released the report of Study Group 5, which examined the role of women in the Church. The report calls for the expansion of existing instituted ministries for women including lector, acolyte, catechist as well as leadership roles in communities, dioceses and Vatican institutions. Most troubling quotes, slightly paraphrased: - It is necessary to reflect particularly on reformulating the areas of competence of ordained ministry […] Redefining these areas of competence could open recognition of new spaces of responsibility for women in the Church. (page 12) - There are no reasons that prevent women from assuming leadership roles in the Church. It is important to reiterate that there is nothing, in the mere fact of being a woman, that prevents assuming roles of leadership in the Church. (page 13) - Every Curial institution carries out its mission by virtue of authority received from the Roman Pontiff. The primatial authority of the Roman Pontiff can be delegated …More

"Conclave of 1958 On October 25, 1958, 51 cardinals participated in the papal conclave to elect the successor to Pope Pius XII. Cardinal Siri, then 52 years old, was considered a serious candidate. Siri was seen at the time, and throughout his life, as a staunch conservative. At 11:53 a.m. on October 26, the first day of voting, white smoke was seen rising from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, the traditional signal to the crowds gathered in the square outside that a pope had been elected. This white smoke was followed a few minutes later by black smoke. Italian radio and the Italian news agency had to retract their initial reports that a pope had been elected. At 5:53 p.m., white smoke appeared to be coming out of the chimney again, and this time it did not quickly turn black. At 6 p.m., with the smoke remaining white for several minutes, Vatican Radio declared to the world: “The smoke is white... There is absolutely no doubt. A Pope has been elected.” After about half an hour, the …More

I saw a senior black woman in the St Petersburg's mall glowing, it was back in 2012, the glow was due to God, she is Christian and the glow came from the inside out... I was marveled, the amazing Love of God for her and her love for Him resonated accordingly with each other, she accepted Jesus as her Lord and due to this she was on her way to Heaven. Years later I saw something similar but not quite... JEWS! Every time I see Jews, and I mean live, not in tv or social media, I see the same glow... BUT they're not glowing like the woman I saw, the light and brilliance is on the outside of them, they look lovely due to the light teying to get in, but they won’t allow its entrance. God is at the door, His Love its still there for them yet they won’t let it in, God's covenant, His Son is not allowed to get in. For years the Jews has been hugging anything but God, the entire bible literature is basically God denouncing the Jews about rejecting His Love for ANY idol they liked, they chased …More

The apostate Robert Prevost defies God's Law and attacks faith (Abu Dhabi Pact, synod of synodality etc.) and morals (Amoris Laetitia, Fiducia Supplicans, etc.), which shows us that he is not a legitimate Catholic pope because he is not assisted by the Holy Spirit but by the spirit of the antichrist. Prevost supports sinful same-sex civil unions and gay adoption Leo XIV Taps Sodomite & Gay Activist Chef for Castel Gandolfo
Leo XIV recognized the "International Women’s Day" during the Angelus: "Today, 8 March, is International Women’s Day. We renew our commitment, which for us Christians is based on the Gospel, to recognize the equal dignity of man and woman", he said. International Women’s Day is a feastday of socialist and communist movements. The modern date, March 8, became prominent during the 1917 protests by women workers in Petrograd, which helped spark the Russian Revolution that led to Bolshevik rule. For decades it was mainly observed in communist and socialist states and associated with revolutionary politics including on abortion and gender ideology. In parts of South America, radical activists’ protests on this day have vandalized churches, attacked Catholic symbols, or disrupted Eucharists. In Leo XIV's Rome, during yesterday's "Women’s Day" protests, demonstrators stopped outside the office of a prolife organization and chanted violent slogans such as (video below): - "Prolife offices …More
Prevost's audacity in defying God and violating the First and Second Commandments demonstrates his malice and impenitence. He follows the same path of perdition as his infamous mentor, the deplorable Bergoglio.
Commenting on the Gospel read that day, Leo urged his listeners: “The Lord still says to his Church: ‘Lift up your eyes and recognize God’s surprises!’”
The great apostasy was predicted. But we did not imagine that it would begin with the takeover of the physical structure of the Church and the hierarchy, starting with the papacy.
