The calm, the coherence and the logic of St. Joseph by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira March, 19th 1976 What was the occasion in Saint Joseph’s life when he practiced logic to a heroic degree? It was the well known episode when he saw that Our Lady had conceived a child of which he was not the father. The Gospel mentions the matter. He was faced with an absurd situation. On one hand, it was evident to him that Our Lady was a saint because her sanctity shone forth in every way. However, on the other hand, he faced a situation that he could neither explain or live with. Instead of denouncing her as was required by Hebrew law, he came to the only logical conclusion: “The unnecessary person in this house is neither this mother, who is the owner and queen of this place, nor the child she has conceived. I am the unnecessary one. I will take my leave and vanish. I don’t understand this mystery, but I will not rise up against it. I will spend my days far off, venerating the mystery that I do not …More

CATHOLIC EUROPE, WAKE UP BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! | SG News A video from Belgium has ignited an intense debate among Catholics about liturgy, interreligious dialogue and the Catholic identity of one of Europe’s oldest universities. On September 16, KU Leuven officially opened its 2026–2027 academic year with a Catholic Mass at St. Peter’s Church in Leuven. During the celebration, a person was filmed reciting or chanting in Arabic from the front of the church. The Flemish Catholic student organization KVHV-Leuven described the segment as “Islamic chants,” and the video quickly spread across Catholic and conservative social media, provoking criticism from Catholics who questioned why material identified as Islamic prayer was included within a Eucharistic celebration. As of September 19, KU Leuven has not published an official transcript or detailed explanation identifying the Arabic text, so reports describing it specifically as an Islamic prayer should be treated with appropriate caution …More
KATHOLISCHES EUROPA, WACHT AUF, BEVOR ES ZU SPÄT IST! | SG News Ein Video aus Belgien hat unter Katholiken eine intensive Debatte über Liturgie, interreligiösen Dialog und die katholische Identität einer der ältesten Universitäten Europas ausgelöst. Am 16. September eröffnete die KU Leuven ihr akademisches Jahr 2026/27 offiziell mit einer katholischen Messe in der St.-Peter-Kirche in Leuven. Während des Gottesdienstes wurde eine Person gefilmt, die vorne in der Kirche auf Arabisch rezitierte oder sang. Die flämische katholische Studentenorganisation KVHV-Leuven bezeichnete den Ausschnitt als „islamische Gesänge“. Das Video verbreitete sich rasch in katholischen und konservativen sozialen Medien und rief Kritik von Katholiken hervor, die hinterfragten, warum Material, das als islamisches Gebet identifiziert wurde, in eine Eucharistiefeier eingebunden war. Bis zum 19. September hat die KU Leuven weder ein offizielles Transkript noch eine detaillierte Erklärung zu dem arabischen Text …More
Leo XIV wants to beatify controversial Aids-Priest Don Luigi. Leo XIV has opened the way towards the beatification of Luigi Di Liegro (1928–1997), a Roman priest who wanted to be close to people dying of AIDS. The pope made the announcement on Friday during the diocesan assembly in the Basilica of St John Lateran. He said he had “gladly approved” the steps necessary to begin the diocesan investigation into Di Liegro’s life, virtues and reputation for holiness. The most controversial episode of Di Liegro’s ministry came in 1988. As head of Caritas Rome, he insisted on opening a home for people with AIDS at Villa Glori in Parioli — an affluent Roman neighbourhood. It was the height of the AIDS panic. HIV was associated particularly with drug users and homosexuals. Residents protested. More than a thousand signatures were reportedly collected against the home. Rome temporarily delayed the opening; demonstrators marched against the project, while scouts, environmentalists and others organised …More
The synodal-conciliar hierarchy canonized Vatican second; today, Vatican II is "saint Vatican second," thanks to the canonization of all the post-vatican II popes.
Correct. Our Lady did not intervene for the Crusades to take over the Holy Land (with the Blessed Sacrament already present there). Rather she intervened to aid and protect the Crusaders from Muslim invaders (self defense).
We can’t give you medical care but we can kill you. This is the progressive thinking at Canada Health. How evil. It’s like reproductive choice. We can kill your unborn baby.
Mitch McConnell Mystery Joanna Coles and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty discuss Mitch McConnell’s mysterious return to the Senate after 92 days away, the disturbing questions surrounding his health, and the obscure Senate rules that may be keeping his condition out of public view. They examine the growing cracks in the Republican Party as longtime conservatives turn against Donald Trump, from Karl Rove’s decision to back a Democrat in Texas to the political backlash over immigration enforcement in Florida and beyond. Plus, ICE’s leadership chaos, the fallout from Pete Hegseth’s tumultuous tenure at the Pentagon, and the growing influence of his wife, Jennifer, who has earned some very revealing nicknames inside the department. And as questions mount about Trump’s own health and the strange bulge spotted beneath his jacket, Joanna and Hugh take a closer look at the White House’s refusal to provide answers, the administration’s attacks on The Daily Beast, and what may be …More

In the spiritual life, we always desire to be closer to God and have more graces. In the secular world we are never satisfied as our passions control us.
