The Genocide Of The Gazans Continues: Majority Of Israelis Support Ethnic Cleansing And Starvation Of Gazans; 58% Say Army Using Too Little Firepower

 Did you get that??

Too little firepower??

These monsters want the IDF to use more firepower!!??

First off, if you can believe it, the U.S. is very complicit in this ongoing disaster that continues in the Gaza Strip.

How?

By our taxpayer monies that are funneled to the Israeli government to the tune of several billions of dollars each and every year!

(I must warn you that what you will hear in the accompanying video is quite disturbing -- and it should be!!)

More Of The Same Modernist, Novus Ordo Nonsense: Pope Leo XIV Suggests He Believes Pope Francis Is In Heaven

Okay, so when do we start calling Pope Francis "Saint"??

Sancto Subito!!!   Sancto Subito!!!

Really??

Why not, all the conciliar- and post-conciliar popes have been canonized, less John Paul I and Benedict XVI, but I feel that those folks will be declared "saints" in the very near future...

But what is it that really has been canonized here?  

Why, the Second Vatican Council, that's what...

Don't you get it??

The overthrow of Catholic Tradition and enthronement of the modernist revolution -- the culture of death -- began when Adam and Eve were tossed out of the Garden!

How so?

The first killer, Cain, did away with his brother Abel because of envy and pride, and from that point on, it has been all downhill to the point that the only way to prevent mankind from sinking all the way down into the abyss, was for Our Blessed Lord to sacrifice Himself on the Cross for us sinful, stiff-necked ways.

                                            ******

Now I'll post the very words of Leo XIV, then judge for yourself to see if there is any difference from the last several popes shoving modernist doubletalk down our throats...

"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV commented Sunday that he believed Pope Francis was in heaven, thus echoing a phrase employed by a prominent cardinal just prior to the conclave.

Some 200,000 people are estimated to have been present in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday for the opening Mass of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate.

Just around a month after the death of Pope Francis, the many crowds eagerly listening to the words of his successor heard Leo attest to Francis’ presence in heaven:

During Mass, I strongly felt the spiritual presence of Pope Francis accompanying us from heaven.

In making such a remark, Leo appeared to suggest that the late pope was enjoying the Beatific Vision in heaven.

The Catholic Church teaches the necessity of praying for the souls of the dead, noting that those who die and go to purgatory – due to needing further purification of their sins – are to be remembered by the Church in prayer.

Drawing from Scripture, the Church teaches the importance not just of praying for the souls of the faithful departed, but also of offering sacrifices and penances for them. Quoting directly from St. John Chrysostom, the Church teaches:

Let us help and commemorate them. If Job’s sons were purified by their father’s sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them.

However, in recent decades, there has been a growing custom of describing the deceased individual as being in a “better place” or quite simply in “heaven.”

Such a practice has also led to the decline in praying for the dead, since those in heaven no longer require the assistance of prayer. As attested to by many priests, fewer and fewer Catholics remain aware of the dire importance of praying for the holy souls of the departed, believing instead that many go directly to heaven.

Re – dean of the College of Cardinals – described Francis as being able to “bless the whole world from heaven” as part of his homily:

Dear Pope Francis, we now ask you to pray for us. May you bless the Church, bless Rome, and bless the whole world from heaven as you did last Sunday from the balcony of this Basilica in a final embrace with all the people of God, but also embrace humanity that seeks the truth with a sincere heart and holds high the torch of hope.

Similar phraseology was used by Joseph Cardinal Zen during his intervention to the General Congregations of cardinals, prior to the conclave.

Indeed, Pope Francis himself made similar comments about the late Pope Benedict XVI on the first anniversary of the German pope’s death.

Delivering a post-Angelus address – just like Leo – Francis commented:

One year ago, Pope Benedict xvi ended his earthly journey, after having lovingly and wisely served the Church. We feel so much affection, gratitude and admiration for him. He blesses and accompanies us from Heaven. A round of applause for Benedict XVI!

Notwithstanding the growing trend of describing the souls of the recently deceased as being in heaven, the Church’s emphasis on praying for the dead remains.

The Council of Trent defined that “there is a Purgatory, and that the souls there detained are helped by the suffrages of the faithful, but principally by the acceptable sacrifice of the altar.”

Consequently, the council fathers urged that the true teaching of purgatory be widely taught and that the bishops ensure Masses, prayers, and works of piety are offered up for the repose of the souls of the dead.

Such a practice is not just an act of charity, but also of justice. Father Michael Monshau O.P. – a professor of liturgy and spirituality in Rome – commented that “this is an aspect of the Catholic patrimony that must not be forgotten or de-emphasized. Justice demands that our brothers and sisters in the faith who have died find in us faithful friends who acknowledge that it is indeed a good and pious thing to pray for the dead.”

Catholics are encouraged to continue to remember the repose of the soul of Pope Francis in prayer."

End of very disturbing article...

Even Cardinal Zen pronounced Benedict XVI in Heaven!!

Really??

Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters and for their conversion -- and for strength and honor!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...

Ohio Bishop: In An Age Of ‘Uninspiring’ Liturgies, Silence And Reverence Are Needed At Mass

 Bishop Earl Fernandes admitted that ‘many of our liturgies are — on the human level — uninspiring, hurried, pedestrian.’

From lifesitenews.com and written by Emily Mangiaracina Fri May 16, 2025 - 6:23 pm EDT: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/ohio-bishop-in-an-age-of-uninspiring-liturgies-silence-and-reverence-are-needed-at-mass/?utm_source=most_recent&utm_campaign=usa

"(LifeSiteNews) — The bishop of Columbus, Ohio, has highlighted the need for silence and reverence at Mass in keeping with the need for “Christocentric” worship.

Bishop Earl Fernandes, who has seen the number of seminarians in his diocese more than double under his watch, penned a commentary published by the National Catholic Register on Wednesday suggesting that many liturgies today aren’t fit for purpose.

Fernandes told how he first encountered the Traditional Latin Mass when he was young at St. Joseph’s in Toledo and realized that he not only craved the traditional liturgy but found it to be more reflective of what the Mass is.

“For me, Gregorian chant at the Mass was much more consonant with what the Mass truly is: the beautiful, unbloody sacrifice of Our Lord. I was young, but I remember thinking, I wanted the old-time religion, just like my father did,” Fernandes wrote.

After he was ordained to the priesthood and became a pastor, he was “somewhat shocked” to find that much of what had drawn him “closer to God” was absent.

“Many people did not genuflect before Our Lord — because they had rarely seen anyone genuflect. Guitars and liturgical dancing were still common. Almost none of the more than 1,000 schoolchildren in my parish had even heard or knew how to sing the hymn Immaculate Mary,” Fernandes recalled. 

He realized that an important part of his task as pastor was to restore a “sense of liturgical reverence.” This is not just a matter of personal preference but of making the Mass Christ-centered, he noted — as it should be. Fernandes came to reflect on how God gave commands for how worship was to be conducted “in both the Old and New Testaments.”

He pointed out that the liturgy is the work of Christ, to which we unite ourselves — it is not our work. Thus, we must ask how we are fulfilling God’s command through our worship of Him. For example, we must re-examine even the choice of hymns used at Mass, Fernandes noted.

“When most of the Communion and entrance antiphons are drawn from the Psalms or other parts of Scripture, why are we replacing them with manmade creations?” the bishop asked. Moreover, the music used during Mass often doesn’t “foster contemplation,” something that not only the laity but the priest himself needs.

On top of this, “many of our liturgies are — on the human level — uninspiring, hurried, pedestrian,” he admitted.

While he maintains that “reverence is not confined to one form of the liturgy,” such reverence is overwhelmingly more present in traditional Masses, such as the traditional Latin Mass, than in the new rite of the Mass, the Novus Ordo. 

For example, in the traditional Latin Mass, the priest bows profoundly before the consecration and genuflects before raising the consecrated host; he bows profoundly during his Confiteor; he makes many more signs of the cross; he bows more; he kisses the altar more; he prays much more in a sign of humility, fervor and devotion; there are more prayers of contrition and supplication from both the priest and the faithful; the voice of the priest during the canon is hushed to show awe and reverence; the faithful receive the Holy Eucharist, God Himself, kneeling and on the tongue; the priest does not afterward make announcements to the faithful and quickly wrap up the Mass as if they have not just received God Himself!

In fact, Fernandes previously celebrated the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) every Sunday, according to a 2015 interview with a Catholic publication.

“Most of them are young,” he said of the attendees at TLM. “They’re looking for reverence and beauty, a sense of transcendence, and to be connected to their parents and grandparents, the generations of faith.”'

South Carolina Supreme Court Unanimously Upholds Law Banning Abortion At Point When Heartbeat Can Be Detected!!

Written by  

"The South Carolina Supreme Court has unanimously determined that the state can continue banning abortion at the point when a fetal heartbeat can be detected.

The law, which the court upheld on Wednesday, bans the procedure at approximately six weeks of pregnancy.

Planned Parenthood had challenged the law in court, arguing that the law should not apply until nine weeks of pregnancy.

According to the law, abortions cannot be performed once an ultrasound can detect “cardiac activity, or the steady and repetitive rhythmic contraction of the fetal heart, within the gestational sac.”

The Associated Press reports, “The state argued that is the moment when an ultrasound detects cardiac activity. Planned Parenthood said the words after the ‘or’ mean the ban should only start after the major parts of the heart come together and ‘repetitive rhythmic contraction’ begins, which is often around nine weeks.”

The court ultimately determined that the law must be based on the intent of the general assembly, which was clearly to ban the practice at six weeks, not nine.

“We could find not one instance during the entire 2023 legislative session in which anyone connected in any way to the General Assembly framed the Act as banning abortion after approximately nine weeks,” Associate Justice John Few wrote.

The AP report also noted, “And the Supreme Court pointed out Planned Parenthood used the phrase ‘six-week ban’ more than 300 times in previous filings, as South Carolina’s 2021 ban at cardiac activity was overturned in a 3-2 decision in 2023 and then reinstated months later after the General Assembly tweaked the law and the court’s only woman who overturned the ban had to retire because of her age.”

The Supreme Court’s ruling states:

“This Court holds that it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that the General Assembly intended, and the public understood, that the time frame of the Act would begin around the six-week mark. The moral and ethical issues that this case presents are immense and this Court does not take that lightly. However, as Justice Kittredge noted in Planned Parenthood II, the courts must respect the separation of powers principles and the limited (non-policy) role it is enshrined with, and this Court must approach this case with one single commitment: to honor the rule of law. The South Carolina Supreme Court and the General Assembly have spoken. This Court must listen.”

Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster celebrated the decision, issuing a statement saying, “Today’s ruling is another clear and decisive victory that will ensure the lives of countless unborn children remain protected and that South Carolina continues to lead the charge in defending the sanctity of life.”'
