Bishops have been promoting the Islamization of Europe for decades under the pretext of charity, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (German video below). He accused these bishops of “cowardice” for failing to profess their Christian and Catholic identity. According to Schneider, European political elites are deliberately organizing Muslim immigration: “These are generally not refugees, but deliberately orchestrated and organized measures by European political elites to bring a Muslim population into Europe.” Schneider described Islam as “totalitarian” and “anti-Christian.” Building large mosques amounts to propaganda for a religion that is not willed by God. Bishop Schneider also condemned interreligious dialogue, as exemplified by the 2019 Abu Dhabi Document, as “a betrayal of the mission of the Gospel, which God Himself, Jesus Christ, entrusted to us.” Schneider criticized the practice of placing all religions on an equal footing, even visually, as though one could “choose a …Ավելին
Homily Monday, October 19, 2026 Ephesians 2:1-10 " We are created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them." God is. We reflect God through good thoughts, words, and actions. Luke 12:13-21 Jesus said, "The things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" It would be worthwhile to cleanse our minds and surrender to the Lord all that is negative and then rejoice in what is wise. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

The Judge answered: ”You are not asking this out of love, since you have none, but my power compels you to ask it for the sake of this bride of mine who is listening. In the same way in which both the good and bad handled me in my human nature in order to prove the reality of my human nature as well as my patient humility, so too good and wicked alike eat me at the altar - the good unto their greater perfection, the bad in …Ավելին

We want our words to be applauded, our decisions to be praised, and our beliefs to be welcomed without opposition. We fear being misunderstood, rejected, or ridiculed. And sometimes, in our desire to avoid disapproval, we begin surrendering little pieces of the truth we once professed without hesitation. The danger does not always begin with a dramatic rejection of the Faith. It may begin with silence when we should speak honestly, compromise when we should remain firm, or the deliberate concealment of our convictions because we fear what others might think. We tell ourselves that we are merely avoiding conflict. But if the desire for acceptance repeatedly causes us to betray what we know to be right, we must ask ourselves a serious question: Whose …Ավելին
‘Pope Innocent III. …’ – ‘Purgatory’ by Rev. Shouppe; 1929; Chapter XXIII; p. 72-74, part II Chapter XXIII ~ Duration of Purgatory — The Cistercian Abbot and Pope Innocent III. — -John de Lierre. Aside from this, considering the event in itself, can we find any good reason for calling it into question ? Do we not know that God makes no exception of persons — that the Popes appear before His tribunal like the humblest of the faithful — that all the great and the lowly are equal before Him, and that each one receives according to his works? Do we not know that those who govern others have a great responsibility, and will have to render a severe account? Judicium durissimum his qui prcesunt fiet — "A most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule."1 It is the Holy Ghost that declares it. Now, Innocent III. reigned for eighteen years, and during most turbulent times ; and, add the Bollandists, is it not written that the judgments of God are inscrutable, and often very different from …Ավելին
"Pope Innocent III. died July 16, 1216. The same day he appeared to St. Lutgarda in her monastery at Aywieres, in Brabant. Surprised to see a spectre enveloped in flames, she asked who he was and what he wanted. "I am Pope Innocent," he replied. "Is it possible that you, our common Father, should be in such a state ? " " It is but too true. I am expiating three faults which might have caused my eternal perdition. Thanks to the Blessed Virgin Mary, I have obtained pardon for them, but I have to make atonement. Alas! it is terrible; and it will last for centuries if you do not come to my assistance. In the name of Mary, who has obtained for me the favour of appealing to you, help me." With these words he disappeared."

The Quiet Revolution Undermining Catholic Tradition | A Bishop Speaks remnantnewspaper | By: Bishop Rob Mutsaerts The Church's most dangerous revolution is the one that never admits it is happening. Bishop Rob Mutsaerts exposes how pastoral ambiguity, progressive reforms, and local experiments erode Catholic teaching while claiming to leave doctrine untouched. The Deceptive Tactics of the Quiet Revolution Over the course of two thousand years, the Catholic Church has endured just about everything that can happen to an institution: bad popes, corrupt bishops, heresies, schisms, revolutions, persecutions, decadent monasteries, dissolute clergy, and theologians so determined to be original that, in the end, they were the only ones who still understood what they meant. And yet the Church is still here. Not because Catholics have always been sensible. That would be a rather daring historical hypothesis. The Church survived because, time and again, one remarkable phenomenon occurred: once the …Ավելին
The Vatican is controlled by heretics. Heretic Pope Leo XIV approved 'A Path To Hope'. It goes against Catholic dogma. It walks lock-step with Noahide laws that the globalists want to push on non-Jews. TL;DR: Pope Leo/Prevost, like Pope Francis/Bergoglio, wants to empty Catholic churches to appease the globalists.

Leo XIV-appointed Spanish Bishop José Antonio Satué sent a supportive message to the 15th gathering of homosexual Christians in Chipiona, Spain, on October 9–11: “You have much to contribute to the Church.” Leo XIV appointed Satué Bishop of Málaga in June 2025 despite his public record as homosexualist. Satué described homosex "blessings" as “a step forward”. The homosex gathering, organized by PADIS Canarias (Pastoral para la Diversidad Sexual en Canarias), attracted just over 100 participants. Monsignor Satué wrote them that everyone deserves to be heard, welcomed, and treated with dignity. He claimed that homosexuals suffered within the Church and urged that it not be trivialized. At the meeting, participants agreed to establish a nationwide network of homosexual Christian groups, extending into Portugal. They also intend to prepare a document outlining their proposals for bishops, possibly by the end of 2026. They called for pastoral ministry developed “with” homosexuals rather than …Ավելին
