Dutch Cardinal Wim Eijk condemned the euthanasia of a severely disabled Dutch child, nearly two years old, as a violation of human dignity. “Is it merciful to violate the fundamental dignity of the human person by ending their life?” he asked. Speaking to CruxNow.com in an interview on September 25, Eijk warned that “merciful” is often used to justify “ethically questionable actions.” He said ending the body is a “fundamental violation” of a person’s inherent dignity.

La casa de Carlos de Foucauld en el Sáhara, restaurada y a la espera de religiosas. La casa en la que San Carlos de Foucauld quiso ser testigo de Cristo en pleno Sáhara está preparada para acoger de nuevo una comunidad religiosa, pero quienes desean habitarla no consiguen llegar. Noticias - HM Televisión
The house of the Little Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Charles de Foucauld has been restored in Tamanrasset, with the support of Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), but it currently houses only one religious sister. “The call for a female presence in Tamanrasset remains very much alive. The house, rebuilt with the support of ACN, is ready and waiting for those – religious or laywomen – who wish to inhabit it with a faithful, humble presence that is open to encounters in the heart of the desert. It is ready to become a place of fraternal, simple, and Gospel-centered life, at the service of communion,” says Bishop Diego Sarrió Cucarella of the Diocese of Laghouat-Ghardaïa. It is understandable that few people would want to leave everything to go and live in almost complete isolation in the Sahara, in a mostly Muslim country. But the bishop explains that there is no lack of willing women. The problem is exclusively bureaucratic, as those who have shown interest have been unable to obtain the …Sateruse
Actual situation of Saint Peter's Holy See through the guidance of Saint Alphonsus For my understanding of the actual situation of the Holy See of Saint Peter, I searched for guidance in Saint Alphonsus’ writings. There is a cardinal fragment in Alfonso Maria De Liguori: Verità della fede – Torino, Presso Giacinto Marietti Stampatore - 1826., – Volume secondo, Parte terza – Contra i settari che negano là Chiesa Cattolica esser l’unica vera, Capo Primo The English translation of most parts of this cardinal fragment is contained in a Doctoral Dissertation, with the author’s wise comments about our fragment is here: DAVID JOHN SHARROCK, C.SS.R., S.T.L. – The Theological Defense of Papal Power By St. Alphonsus de Liguori In my humble opinion, bonum animarum imposes that the Alphonsian quotation must be interpreted in the logic of his great moral development of equiprobabilism, defending the Church’s visibility, indefectibility and infallibility, used mostly as arguments against the …Sateruse
Mary Live with Dr. Mark Miravalle: Do You Know Your Guardian Angel? Your guardian angel has been waiting for you since the beginning of time to guide you to heaven. How are you responding?
Conservative Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts joins the media enthusiasm surrounding Leo XIV’s reception in France. His praise of Leo XIV becomes rather grandiloquent: “The guillotine is gone. Now a man in white appears, proudly raising the Cross.” His central point is more interesting: secular Europe may have lost much of its Christian memory without losing its religious hunger. Mutsaerts sees a generation rediscovering the Cross, the rosary, Gregorian chant, Augustine and Aquinas. And he lands on a memorable image: “The world has organized Christianity’s funeral many times. The remarkable thing is that the deceased keeps showing up.”
LA GHIGLIOTTINA, IL PAPA A PARIGI E IL RITORNO INASPETTATO DELLA FEDE Un’illuminante riflessione di mons. Rob Mutsaerts su Vitamin Exp commenta il trionfale viaggio di Papa Leone XIV in Francia, mettendo a confronto il fallimento delle ideologie laiciste con la permanente attrattiva della fede. I punti salienti dell’articolo: I paradossi della Rivoluzione: Nata con la promessa di libertà, la Rivoluzione francese sfociò nel Terrore, nella ghigliottina e nella creazione del grottesco “Culto della Ragione”. Il surrogato woke: L’uomo non può fare a meno della religione. Rifiutato Dio, la cultura laico-progressista ha inventato il woke: un sistema fondato su colpa e condanna, ma privo della grazia e del perdono cristiano. La smentita delle profezie laiciste: Voltaire ipotizzava la scomparsa della Chiesa, ma le centinaia di migliaia di fedeli a Parigi e l’aumento dei battesimi di adulti dimostrano che la secolarizzazione non è un destino ineluttabile.

A diocesan bishop has undergone a personal “conversion” toward the traditional Latin Mass. Bishop Donald Lippert of Mendi, Papua New Guinea, has come personally to see the beauty and power of the traditional Roman rite. He told AdVaticanum.com on September 29 that he had “over the last year or so, a bit of a conversion myself into the Traditional Latin Mass.” “I am, as many of us are, an amphibian. I exist mainly in the Novus Ordo, because that is the reality in which I live, and the Church that I have been called to serve at the moment.” He has “no problems with the Novus Ordo”, but sees the power of the traditional Mass particularly in its reverence: “The Traditional Latin Mass has a mysticism about it, and a reverence about it, that can touch the hearts of people and draw them closer to God in a world where there are so many distractions pulling them away.” He is still learning to celebrate the Mass. Mass not primarily for educated Western people When someone told him that the Mass …Sateruse

Vatican II Church Permits Protestants and Orthodox to Receive Catholic Communion in Particular Cases - The recent beatification ceremony for Archbishop Fulton Sheen, a man whose popularity extended also to many non-Catholics on account of his nationwide radio and television prominence, has drawn renewed attention to a little-known law that has been on the books in the Vatican II Church since the 1980s. Over 43 years ago, Pope John Paul II enshrined in official church law a permission for Protestants and Eastern Orthodox to receive Holy Communion and two other sacraments under certain circumstances — but without renouncing their respective religions.
Honduran Bishop Teodoro Gómez Rivera has died at 63 while traveling to Rome to meet Pope Leo XIV during an ad limina visit. The bishop of Choluteca died Monday during a stopover in Madrid. Gómez Rivera had led the diocese since 2023 and was vice president of the Honduran Bishops’ Conference. ACI Prensa, citing an unnamed Church source in Honduras, reported that he died from respiratory arrest and had diabetes. Spanish authorities are conducting an autopsy following his sudden death.

The Bible teaches truth; it teaches us how to get to heaven AND how the heavens go. The two are one. Christ died and rose from the dead. The sun, the preserver of life, 'dies' and rises from the 'dead'. Nature reflects the divine.
But, to be honest Galileo was no scientist (he presented no proof on his theory) - only a polemist/publicist who mocked Urban VIII as Simplicio. And freemasons love the myth of eppur si muove.
Vatican: late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela responsible for homosexual offences. The Vatican has publicly addressed the long-running case of Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE). The case began formally in May 2020, when Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló established a Special Penal Tribunal to examine allegations against Buela. After hearing the accused, his lawyer and numerous witnesses, the tribunal issued its judgment on 20 July 2021. It found that Buela had committed offences against the sixth commandment in relation to five male members of the Institute. Buela appealed. A Special Penal Tribunal of Appeal was subsequently constituted and conducted additional investigations, including further testimony from Buela and witnesses proposed by his defence. On 30 March 2023, the appellate judges deliberated and voted to confirm the first tribunal’s finding concerning the five cases. Before the appellate judgment could be formally drafted …Sateruse
"Cling therefore to Christ if you wish to be secure: for you will not be able to go astray, because he himself is the way. Hence those who cling to him do not walk in a pathless place, but by the right way." — St. Thomas Aquinas
"More of them yawn and stretch and turn the pages of their prayer book as if they were examining it in order to see whether the printer had made any mistakes. There are others, and you can see them sleeping as soundly as if they were in a comfortable bed. The first thought that comes to them when they awake is not that they have been profaning so holy a place but: "Oh, Lord, this will never be over.... I'm not coming back any more." And finally there are those to whom the word of God (which has converted so many sinners) is actually nauseating."

Well, my dear children, let me describe them. I will compare them (if I may dare to make use of the term) to dogs who will run to the first person who calls them. You may follow them from the morning to the evening, from the beginning of the year to the end. These people look upon Sunday as merely a day for rest and amusement. They stay in bed longer than on weekdays, and instead of giving themselves to God with all their hearts, they do not even think of Him. Some of them will be thinking of their amusements, others of people they expect to …Sateruse
