Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …Күберәк
What Bergoglio (and his Mini-Me Leo14) call theoretical, Burke calls " an objective reality, a supernatural gift." Cardinal Burke contradicts Pope Francis. Modernists have trouble understanding the supernatural.
Workers Disassemble Parts of Trump’s White House Helipad, Photos Show Last week, construction workers had begun to decorate the new South Lawn helipad with a giant presidential seal.

As of last week, the helipad appeared to be nearing completion. After starting work in June, workers had built a circle 100 feet in diameter in the middle of the green expanse of the South Lawn. They were starting to add the finishing touches in granite, laying out the lettering of the presidential seal along the edge of the pad. But then, on Sunday, photos showed that some of the lettering had been removed. Where it had said “…Күберәк
From the hearts of the Romanian people. And may this be a lesson for the European Union.

The answer, he argued, is that the West doesn't need a large and strong Russia. «Зачем делать из нас врага?»: Путин задал риторический вопрос США #путин #россия #сша Isn't that the truth.

Auxiliary Bishop Ludger Schepers of Essen, the German Bishops' Conference's commissioner for homosexual propaganda, has urged Catholic parishes to become places where homosexuals can live "without fear". Writing on Kirche-und-Leben.de on August 2, Bishop Schepers commented on the recent deadly attack during Berlin's homosexual march. "Our parishes must be places where every person is welcome and experiences the inalienable dignity that God has given them. No one should ever have to fear prejudice, distrust, or rejection because of their sexual orientation or gender identity." He attacked the Church, claiming gratuitously that she "has not always been a safe place for queer people," adding that biblical passages had too often been taken "out of context" and used against them. Ludger Schepers contrasts what he calls "the Gospel's message of unconditional love" with "the experience of many queer people". This contradiction calls Catholics "to repent". Looking to the global Church, Bishop …Күберәк

Six Jewish extremists were arrested after spitting at the Armenian Orthodox St. James Monastery in Jerusalem, verbally abusing a woman who filmed them, and throwing rocks. Their punishment? A 15-day ban from Jerusalem's Old City. The Armenian Patriarchate says these attacks are part of a growing pattern of anti-Christian violence and is urging the Israeli government to treat them as hate crimes. The Religious Freedom Data Center (RFDC) documented 83 attacks against Christians between April and June 2026, almost twice as many as the previous quarter.
Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher noted the producers of a homosexual performance staged inside a former Catholic church on Kent Street deliberately mocked the Catholic faith. Writing in CatholicWeekly.com.au on July 28, a week after hundreds of Catholics gathered outside the venue to pray the Rosary, Archbishop Fisher rejected claims that the show was simply artistic expression. The performances were "not neutral expressions of art" but "a deliberate appropriation, sexualisation, and denigration of symbols and rituals specific and sacred to the Catholic faith." The archbishop cited promotional images showing a pig offering McDonald's fries as the "Body of Christ," male performers dressed as nuns, and events titled "Sunday Mess" and "Unholy Confessions." He considered claims - that the production was not intended to mock Catholics - were "unpersuasive." "For Catholics, the Eucharist is not a cultural motif available for parody," Fisher wrote. "It is the sacrament at the heart of our …Күберәк
NEW from Bishop Schneider: “History has proved 1,000 times that nothing is more dangerous for a religion – nothing more likely to result in discontent, uncertainty, division & apostasy – than interference with the liturgy”

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Le Curé d'Ars offrant la nouvelle église à sainte Philomène The book The Spirit of the Cure of Ars by Fr. Alfred Monnin contains the catechism classes, homilies and conversations of Saint John Vianney. One passage speaks about how to see suffering as a privilege. The Cure of Ars says: “Some people do not love God or pray to Him, and yet they prosper. When this happens, it is a bad sign. It means these people did a few good things amid many bad things. God rewards these small good deeds in this life. Sometimes, we say that God punishes those He loves. However, this statement is not always true. For those whom God loves, trials are not punishments; they are graces.” Suffering as a Means of Approaching God This passage summarizes the great principle of Catholic doctrine that suffering is an indispensable means of approaching God. It is indispensable for two reasons. The first is because God wants us, for the good of our souls, to complete that small bit of …Күберәк
The Society of Jesus is continuing a major reorganization of its presence in Catalonia as declining numbers of Jesuits and an aging membership force the closure of houses. Working-Class Communities Close, Elite Schools Remain The first recent closure came in Bellvitge, where the Jesuit community founded in 1968 ended its presence at the close of 2025.

While technology and distractions are not inherently evil, they can lead to a decline in spiritual and intellectual growth if not used in moderation.
