Father Jean-François Laco of Sainte-Suzanne, a commune in Réunion, a French overseas department near Madagaskar, preached on Pentecost (May 19) against false religions. Laco is also a composer and singer. "I don't believe in that fat, sitting man, the one with a nice belly, who is called Buddha", he preached saying that Buddha statues should not be used for decoration: "That doesn't bring peace, but rather disorder." The video reportedly received 180,000 views and allegedly hundreds of [bot] comments. Réunion has 885,700 people and Laco spoke in a kind of French that can only be understood by locals which means that over 20% of the population has seen the video which is unlikely. The priest deleted the video but copies of it remained available in the internet. At the behest of his bishop, he expressed his regret using the usual formulas like "parts of the sermon had been excerpted" and "words taken out of the context". "If you watch the video of the homily in its entirety, you'll think …More

Siddhartha Gautama did teach some truth...and yes, even a broken clock is right twice a day...but he certainly did not teach, or have a chance to know the full truth. For a pagan, the guy was not the worst...certainly better than the Mohammedans. Some worship him. Others treat him like a holy man. The "fat" Buddha is just a visual to show he was "spiritually rich", but in reality he gave his princely wealth to the poor and practiced self-denial. Not the worst practices to preach and propagate for a pagan. I admit, it's a weird scenario. Would I be a little more prudent, (as in "wise as serpents and simple as doves" Matt 10:16) as a priest, about doing a cheap personal attack ("fat guy") on a guy held in high esteem, Buddha, especially when there are so many Muslim tensions and conquests? Yeah, probably. There are still plenty of ways to say exactly the same thing and nobody would have batted an eye. "Don't have statues of other gods or other religions. Don't have talismens, charms, …More

Twin Babies Talking in a Laundry Basket 18-month-old twins Stella and Lilah hold a short meeting in a laundry basket to discuss socks. -- Update Jan. 14 2023. The girls are now 11.5 years old. They still think this video is pretty funny. :) We still have and use the same laundry basket, but one of the handles has fallen off. They are each about 5'6" tall, very tall for their age. -- Update Dec 3 2015. The girls are now 4.5 years old. They think this video is pretty funny. :) If anyone wants to talk to me about this video, please email skel73@gmail.com. I rarely check this Youtube account and realize I have missed a bunch of messages and enquiries about the video.

Jesus or Beelzebul? Gospel of June 9th - X Sunday of Ordinary Time Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, in the passage from the Gospel of Mark that we're going to listen to on Sunday, June 9, reveals Himself as the One who has the power to "bind" the strong, that is, Satan, thus preventing him from unleashing his destructive power in us. Free and happy in Christ we experience the thrill of "coming out of ourselves" no longer obsessed by the search for first place we enjoy occupying the last; honored to serve rather than being served; working with passion to increase not discord, but brotherhood; not war, but peace, not sadness and depression, but joy and hope…

Hymn to the Sacred Heart: COR ARCA LEGEM Hymn of St. Bonaventure (13th century) to the Sacred Heart of Jesus: O Heart, Thou ark containing the Law, not of the old servitude, but of grace, and indulgence, and also of mercy. O Heart, Thou spotless sanctuary of the new covenant, Thou Temple, holier than the ancient one, And Veil, more profitable than that torn of old. Charity willed Thee to be wounded; by the spear thrust opened, that we might venerate the wounds of an invisible love. Under this symbol of love, having suffered bloody and mystical torments, Christ the Priest offered each in sacrifice. Who would not love in turn the One so loving him? Who, being thus redeemed, would not love, and choose eternal dwellings in this Heart? O Jesus, to Thee be glory, Who pourest grace from Thy heart, with the Father and the loving Spirit unto everlasting ages. Amen. ________________________________________________________________________________ harpadei.com/en/home-en/ Spotify: spotify.com/artist …More

The true family of Jesus. Homily for the 10th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B. In today’s gospel we have an example of what scripture scholars often call the “Markan sandwich.” This narrative technique involves “sandwiching” one story within another or, if we discard the culinary metaphor, framing one story with another. The first story is about the family of Jesus turning up, thinking that he has gone out of his mind. They want to take him home. The story that is “sandwiched” within that story is about the scribes accusing Jesus that he casts out demons by the power of the prince of demons. fr.geoffreyplant

I can only pray that the young lady takes care of her health. Morbid obesity can be horribly debilitating or in many cases, deadly. For a vast number of reasons it is nothing to be proud of or to embrace or to promote. Let us help our youth to do better and to BE better, and to make better, healthier choices in life.

JESUITS FAIL AGAIN IN ETHIOPIA The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church’s Holy Synod strongly condemned homosexuality and same-sex marriages, asserting that these practices undermine individual identity (personhood), disrupt family dynamics, and weaken societal bonds. The Holy Synod deemed both acts as incompatible with natural law and ethical standards. Additionally, the Holy Synod emphasized that homosexuality and same-sex marriages, which can lead to psychological instability and go against one’s conscience, are explicitly prohibited in the Holy Scriptures – as decreed by God, in the Church’s canons – the Nomocanon, and the Civil Code.

No one disputes that Luther has much to do with modern unbelief. But it is another thing to be the author of evil, or to be only its propagator. Now, we cannot repeat it enough, the father of Protestantism, Luther, did not give birth to rationalism, he applied it particularly in the religious order, by putting his reason above the authority of the 'Church. The truth is 1° that Luther was, as Leibnitz says, only a consequentialist. When he came, atheism was already reduced to a system, and free thought a big girl. Born from the poisonous breath of the Greek sophists, brought to Europe by the fugitives from Constantinople, and by them presented to the admiration of youth, it had a large number of followers and apostles in Europe, especially in Italy. As proof of this fact, I could cite you a hundred pages of history (you will find them in Rationalism , 8th issue of the Revolution). I am content with two or three testimonies of incontestable authority. An ancient Protestant author, Thomasius …More
