Leo XIV “largely continues the post-conciliar revolution,” Edward Pentin said October 3 at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh. “Pope Leo… is very much a continuity figure, continuing the post-conciliar course mapped out by Pope Francis,” Pentin said. While Leo has “changed the tone for the better,” his improvements remain “largely symbolic and small scale.” Pentin said he has “often heard in recent months in Rome” that many around Leo “helped him get elected precisely so he might continue the revolution.” On Leo XIV’s emphasis on unity, Pentin said the pontificate has avoided many “neuralgic issues” by “essentially not talking about them.” He added that “what is unacceptable among the Church’s leadership is fidelity to the Church’s doctrine and tradition”. Pentin said some call Leo XIV’s priority a “false peace and false unity,” and cited two anonymous Roman priests warning against unity through silence about error.
Edward Pentin on Leo XIV at the CIC conference: Leo XIV continues Francis's work with a better style.
St. Catherine of Siena and the Reverence Due to Priests In this inspiring reflection, we explore the powerful messages God gave to Saint Catherine of Siena—a Doctor of the Church and one of the greatest mystics in Catholic history. Through her divine revelations, God reminded the faithful never to judge, criticize, or scorn His priests, no matter their human weaknesses. Saint Catherine’s writings in The Dialogue reveal a profound truth: the dignity of the priesthood comes not from the man himself, but from the sacred office he holds in Christ’s name. This video uncovers her heavenly conversations, where God speaks with tenderness yet firmness about the sacredness of His chosen servants, calling us to prayer, humility, and reverence for the priestly ministry. Join us as we reflect on Saint Catherine’s timeless message—a call to pray for priests, to trust in God’s justice, and to love His Church with purity of heart. @Boanerges Boanerges I am leaving a video or the dialogue of Saint …Ossotina
The part of the faithful, God tells St. Catherine, is to weep over the sins of clergy who do not follow God’s will, and to call upon His mercy for them.
At the same time, He laments the many sins of faithless clergy, including promiscuity, lying with prostitutes, selling graces, usury, gluttony, avarice toward the poor, vanity in seeking high offices, greed for worldly riches, and, as He tells St. Catherine, many more sins far worse than what He describes. He tells her how abominable these sins are in His sight, and how deeply these ministers offend Him. Yet He makes it clear to St. Catherine that His people must give reverence to His priests no matter how sinful the priests may be, and leave the judgment to God
Daily Scripture Readings | 4 October 2026 | 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A) Book of Isaiah 5,1-7. Let me now sing of my friend, my friend's song concerning his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; He spaded it, cleared it of stones, and planted the choicest vines; Within it he built a watchtower, and hewed out a wine press. Then he looked for the crop of grapes, but what it yielded was wild grapes. Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard: What more was there to do for my vineyard that I had not done? Why, when I looked for the crop of grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes? Now, I will let you know what I mean to do to my vineyard: Take away its hedge, give it to grazing, break through its wall, let it be trampled! Yes, I will make it a ruin: it shall not be pruned or hoed, but overgrown with thorns and briers; I will command the clouds not to send rain upon it. The vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel …Ossotina
27. Sonntag im Jahreskreis - Erntedanksonntag Buch Jesaja 5,1-7. Ich will singen von meinem Freund, das Lied meines Liebsten von seinem Weinberg. Mein Freund hatte einen Weinberg auf einer fruchtbaren Höhe. Er grub ihn um und entfernte die Steine und bepflanzte ihn mit edlen Reben. Er baute in seiner Mitte einen Turm und hieb zudem eine Kelter in ihm aus. Dann hoffte er, dass der Weinberg Trauben brächte, doch er brachte nur faule Beeren. Und nun, Bewohner Jerusalems und Männer von Juda, richtet zwischen mir und meinem Weinberg! Was hätte es für meinen Weinberg noch zu tun gegeben, das ich ihm nicht getan hätte? Warum hoffte ich, dass er Trauben brächte? Und er brachte nur faule Beeren! Jetzt aber will ich euch kundtun, was ich mit meinem Weinberg mache: seine Hecke entfernen, sodass er abgeweidet wird; einreißen seine Mauer, sodass er zertrampelt wird. Zu Ödland will ich ihn machen. Nicht werde er beschnitten, nicht behackt, sodass Dornen und Disteln hochkommen. Und den Wolken gebiete …Ossotina
US Bishop attends smudging ceremony. On July 11, the Diocese of Raleigh hosted its first multicultural celebration honoring St. Kateri Tekakwitha - the first North American Indigenous saint - at Holy Cross Church. The gathering included discussions, music, and indigenous dances. Richard Duran, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe from Arizona, led a smudging ceremony, which the diocese described as sharing cleansing smoke “as an act of prayer and spiritual connection.” Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama was present and drew laughter when he said he would dance with his heart, not his body, because dancing to music can frustrate him. Smudging has nothing to do with St. Kateri. She left her indigenous community and moved to the Christian Mohawk community at Kahnawake, where she could freely live her Catholic faith.
The bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina participated over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion. Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy.

29 DE OCTUBRE - SAN PETRONIO. sanPablotv. San Petronio (fallecido ca. 450 d. C.) fue un obispoboloñés del siglo V, patrón de Bolonia, canonizado por Gregorio IX en 1234. Nacido en el seno de una noble familia romana, Petronio se convirtió y tomó la orden sacerdotal. Ya como obispo de Bolonia, encargó la construcción de la iglesia de San Esteban. La única información histórica fiable que conservamos sobre San Petronio se deriva de una carta escrita por el obispoEuquerio de Lyon (muerto entre 450–455) a Valeriano (en P. L., L, 711 ss.), y de un texto de Genadio de Marsella titulado De viris illustribus XLI (ed. Czapla, Münster, 1898, p. 94). Euquerio afirma que el «santo obispo Petronio era renombrado en Italia por su virtud». Leemos en Genadio que Petronio, además, pertenecía a una noble familia cuyos miembros habían ostentado puestos prominentes en la corte Imperial de Milán, y que a finales del siglo IV y principios del V ocupaban puestos en la administración provincial. …Ossotina

I have already spoken of the devotion of the ancient Jewish Church to the souls of the departed. But perhaps you arc not aware that the Jews retain to this day, in their Litany, the pious practice of praying for the dead. Yet such in reality is the case.

And may the High Priest stand to receive thee, and go thou to the end, rest in peace, and rise again into life ! May the repose established in the celestial abode ..."

I pray every midnight 3 Our Fathers as The Blessed Mother told us to do and plead with GOD The Father to destroy all evil. Then I say an extra Our Father separate from the first 3 we must say for The Consecration of Russia to The Immaculate Heart of Mary to be done and said as the Pope was ordered to do it. I have confidence that GOD'S Will be done. And everything will be done according to His Will. For His Glory and for the good of the people. I accept and I never worry that GOD'S Will and His Great Chastisement that the world has never seen before. Or what His Will be for me. As long as in the end there shall be one fold and one shepherd. The one thing I dream and think of a lot. I have to correct myself. I say the 3 Our Fathers when I am able to. Which is nearly every night. I just want to be totally honest about what I say or do.

“In those years,” says satan, “I will make many revelations. (I.e.,False revelations through apparitions that are actually demonic.) It will be impossible to expose my language. I will imitate all too well the words of Christ and His revelations. By loading these souls, I want a lot of pious priests to be lost, to mislead them deeply into all these things. I also want to lose many souls (the same way) who are not priests. (Other religious and the laity.) If I can not lose these souls, I will (make them) lose their reputation at least, I will make them charges of heavy slander, I will make them denounce up to the point of counsels of human laws.” A possible interpretation of this text: in the years when satan creates great confusion in the Church, he will cause many false apparitions to occur to mislead even the zealous and faithful with high sounding mysteries. It will be difficult to tell the difference between a false message from the true ones as satan will mimic how Our Lord and …Ossotina
many of her prophecies came to fruition And many have not. 1. They take our very own prophecies and use them against us. Most of the time with a twist of their own beliefs. 2. It is said, most do it for money, fame and attention. 3. Some "maybe" mentally ill. This is what Priests have said and come to the conclusion. Which I already knew and saw many years before any Priest started to warn us against them. If I can see those things, I wonder all the time why others haven't.

“I was addressing the secretary general [Rutte, asking] ‘Is there any proof, real proof intelligence services are providing, something on the table, that Russia is getting ready for something?’ And there is actually none,” Sinkevicius said. Of course there is NONE. There never is. Just empty threats and lies. And once again we have another person to destroy propaganda spread by the West and US. And a few on gtv. If I were to post everything of the truth I see, hear and read, gtv would be overwhelmed with it. So I post occasionally something once in awhile. Sometimes back to back. I understand it's hard to believe that more people around the world actually loves, and has deep respect for President Putin. Because all you ever get is propaganda from those who don't want you to know the truth. And who will do everything in their power to turn you against that great man. That way you will approve of their next war. This time with Russia! Let's see how that goes for everyone when that happens.
Monsignor Gilles Wach, founder and prior general of the traditionalist Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICRSP), has been an honorary member of the Rotary Club Firenze Valdisieve for years. Medias-Presse.info highlights Rotary publications from both 2014 and 2024 describing Monsignor Wach as an honorary member, including on occasions when the club was received at the ICRSP seminary in Gricigliano. In 1950, the Holy Office issued a decision, approved by Pope Pius XII, forbidding Catholic clergy from joining Rotary Clubs or attending their meetings. Catholic authorities at the time cited concerns including religious indifferentism and Masonic or anticlerical influences. Medias-Presse.info asks: how does Monsignor Wach reconcile his Rotary affiliation with the tradition his Institute professes to uphold?

There is a lot going on around the world that we are prevented from seeing. Their goal is to make sure there is enough propaganda to hate Russia and Putin so when they start their next war, this time with Russia, many will be in favor of it.

The majority of the world is totally against it. And knows why they started it.
Advocate General Laila Medina at the European Court of Justice has issued an opinion in a Belgian case that could have wider implications across the EU for how churches handle requests to erase baptismal records under the GDPR. She concluded that everyone has “in principle, the right to have his or her personal data erased from the baptismal register where the controller fails to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject.”
