An abbey with almost 900 years of history is up for sale in France for around two million euros. Notre-Dame de Langonnet in Brittany was founded in 1136. The estate includes around 5,380 square meters of buildings, set within nearly 58 hectares of woodland, meadows and agricultural land. For centuries, Cistercian monks prayed here and shaped the area around the monastery. After the horrors of the French Revolution, the Spiritans - the congregation whose later superior general was Monsignor Marcel Lefebvre - made Langonnet their home in the 19th century. They remained for nearly 170 years. Generations of missionaries passed through the abbey before leaving for Africa and other parts of the world. Now that chapter is coming to an end. The last Spiritans are leaving, including elderly members of the order who had spent their retirement at Langonnet. The property has reportedly been looking for a buyer for around two years, while attempts to find a future that would preserve its religious …More
Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman D.C. spends $32,000 a year on each kid. One high school: 84% chronically absent. Others at 79 and 78. Graduation rates still climb. Reading and math do not. That’s not underfunding. That’s a racket with a diploma printer. Bowser sent parents a 180-day reminder to show up. Jeanine Pirro is talking fines and jail. One of those is a newsletter. The other is a standard. Unions protect the adults. The children get the empty desk and a fake transcript. School choice isn’t a slogan. It’s the exit from a system that already quit. If the building can’t get them in the chair, let the parent pick a school that will.
At my Catholic grade school, the sisters charged my parents $15.00 a month. My high school was $250.00 a year. I Learned a great deal then and would probably have to pay several thousand a year to get the same education.

First Letter to the Corinthians 9,16-19.22b-27. denicemay Brothers and sisters : If I preach the Gospel, this is no reason for me to boast, for an obligation has been imposed on me, and woe to me if I do not preach it! If I do so willingly, I have a recompense, but if unwillingly, then I have been entrusted with a stewardship. What then is my recompense? That, when I preach, I offer the gospel free of charge so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel. Although I am free in regard to all, I have made myself a slave to all so as to win over as many as possible. To the weak I became weak, to win over the weak. I have become all things to all, to save at least some. All this I do for the sake of the gospel, so that I too may have a share in it. Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. Thus I …More
Erster Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Korinther 9,16-19.22b-27. Schwestern und Brüder! Wenn ich das Evangelium verkünde, gebührt mir deswegen kein Ruhm; denn ein Zwang liegt auf mir. Weh mir, wenn ich das Evangelium nicht verkünde! Wäre es mein freier Entschluss, so erhielte ich Lohn. Wenn es mir aber nicht freisteht, so ist es ein Dienst, der mir anvertraut wurde. Was ist nun mein Lohn? Dass ich unentgeltlich verkünde und so das Evangelium bringe und keinen Gebrauch von meinem Anrecht aus dem Evangelium mache. Obwohl ich also von niemandem abhängig bin, habe ich mich für alle zum Sklaven gemacht, um möglichst viele zu gewinnen. Allen bin ich alles geworden, um auf jeden Fall einige zu retten. Alles aber tue ich um des Evangeliums willen, um an seiner Verheißung teilzuhaben. Wisst ihr nicht, dass die Läufer im Stadion zwar alle laufen, aber dass nur einer den Siegespreis gewinnt? Lauft so, dass ihr ihn gewinnt! Jeder Wettkämpfer lebt aber völlig enthaltsam; jene tun dies, um einen …More
A Christian of unknown denomination has become the patron of a new Catholic parish in Texas. Bishop Michael Olson of Fort Worth has announced the creation of a parish in Arlington named after Matthew Ayariga, a Ghanaian killed by ISIS in Libya in 2015. Ayariga was abducted alongside 20 Egyptian Coptic Christians. On February 15, 2015, ISIS executed all 21 men on a Libyan beach. According to accounts of the event, when Ayariga was asked about his faith, he replied, “Their God is my God.” The Coptic Orthodox group canonized all 21 victims shortly after their deaths. In 2023, Francis announced that the 21 martyrs would also be added to the Roman Martyrology.
– Folha de S. Paulo, April 26, 1979 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira The “most obvious weaknesses of present-day civilization.” What, then, is the conception of man — and of his “conveniences” — proposed by the new current John Paul II alludes to in his address to the Latin American bishops at the opening of the Puebla Conference? The Link Between Atheism and Collectivism Considering the question in general terms, does the new humanism logically lead to a right-wing, centrist, or left-wing position? The message does not say so. In the section on “the truth about man,” it identifies leftism in its various shades as the content of the new humanism, without specifying whether this link stems from the very premises of the system of errors it condemns or from one of those fortuitous coincidences that are not uncommon in history. In my view, this is not a coincidence but a genuine, logical sequence. Those who do not believe in God but only in humanity are led to see the full realization of this …More

Everyone, except for the FSSPX: In a new video message, Leo XIV says we must “walk together” to ensure that “no one is marginalized, isolated, excluded, or rejected.” He tells the youth they must “Be builders of bridges between peoples, cultures and religions.”
"Be sure that you first preach by the way you live. If you do not, people will notice that you say one thing, but live otherwise, and your words will bring only cynical laughter and a derisive shake of the head." -- St. Charles Borromeo
Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Thinking Like a Saint: Fr. Timothy Gallagher on Consolation, Desolation, & God's Will "Discernment begins when we understand our inner stirrings—recognizing what is from God and what is from the enemy." Renowned author and spiritual director Fr. Timothy Gallagher, OMV joins CatholicTV to discuss Thinking Like a Saint. Why is it so difficult to hear God's voice through the constant noise and distractions of modern life? Returning to CatholicTV after more than two decades, Father Timothy Gallagher, OMV steps into the living room on This Is the Day to unpack the timeless wisdom of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and his new book, Thinking Like a Saint. Fr. Gallagher explains that the spiritual life is naturally filled with ups and downs. Drawing from 40 years of teaching, he breaks down the essential dynamics of Spiritual Consolation (when God feels close and prayer is full of life) and Spiritual Desolation (when prayer feels dry, heavy, and difficult). Rather than leaving us stranded in these …More
10.09.2026 RATIONAL VERSION OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH III. THE CHURCH IS CATHOLIC ⇡ The Church and non-Christians ⇡ 845 To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood.334 St. Augustine, Serm. 96,7,9:PL 38,588; St. Ambrose, De virg. 18 118:PL 16,297B; cf. already 1 Pet 3:20-21. III. THE CHURCH IS CATHOLIC ⇡ "Outside the Church there is no salvation" 846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head …More
Msgr. Indunil Kankanamalage, Secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, attended the Tri Hita Karana Universal Reflection Ceremony in Bali. It was “anchored by an interfaith prayer” and included a Bumi Bajra performance featuring a Barong from Ubud Palace and what they called “sacred rhythms.” Barong is a lion-like ceremonial representation of a supernatural protector in Balinese Hindu tradition, closely associated with Balinese religious and ritual life.
Honoring Idol Barong in Bali: The Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue participated in a gathering in Indonesia organized by Scholas Occurrentes and United in Diversity.
