Has anybody read Inferno by Augustine Virgil? It's a hilarious 400-page, Dantean-style take on today's incredulous media and politics (particularly "alternative" media). I did a quick review of it on my site.
Vatican Case Against SilereNonPossum Closed: The case against SilereNonPossum.com has reportedly ended, with the Vatican courts ruling they lacked jurisdiction. The complaint was filed by politician and businessman Angelo Chiorazzo over a 2023 Facebook post that described him as having “more criminal proceedings than hairs on his head.” The Vatican courts dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds, without ruling on the defamation claim itself.

Video message of the Holy Father on the occasion … Dear friends, I am happy to greet all of you as you gather in various locations for the Steubenville Summer Youth Conferences during the year that marks the fiftieth anniversary of these encounters. As you might know, this year we are also celebrating the eight-hundredth anniversary of the death of Saint Francis. Since this event is organized by the Franciscan University of Steubenville, I thought it would be fitting to reflect upon the message Saint Francis might have for young people today. I think that he could speak to us about many things, but especially authentic peace and perfect joy, for these themes were an important part of his life. If you had met Saint Francis on the streets of Assisi in the thirteenth century, he might have looked at you with a serene and loving smile, and said: “Pace e bene,” that is “Peace and all good.” This was the way that Saint Francis often greeted people, and it expresses one of the desires in …More
– Folha de S. Paulo, January 29, 1969 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I cannot simply continue with my previous explanation to satisfy the public’s interest or desire for information on the TFP. I would be forced to discuss facts the average reader is unfamiliar with. Therefore, I must start by outlining the scope of the topics and events I will address. To do this, it is best to demonstrate that these topics and events are central to the major issues facing Brazilians who genuinely love their country. ________________ * * * ________________ It’s common to say that a country’s main institutions are its driving forces. Brazil’s key forces include the Church, the Armed Forces, professional associations, and universities. With some goodwill, we might also add political parties. The press often covers these institutions, but it does not always give them the prominence they deserve. Main news usually focuses on politics — the conflicts between parties and the actions of official bodies …More
Saturday, 21st June 1913 Justice Aim in Phagan Case, Says Hooper Saturday, June 21, 1913 I have not been employed in the case to prosecute Leo M. Frank, but to help find and convict the murderer of Mary Phagan. If the trial proves we are wrong, we will begin work on another angle. We have but one object and idea. It is that justice and the law be vindicated. We are, however, convinced we have a strong case against the accused. FRANK A. HOOPER, Attorney. Mrs. Mina [sic] Formby and her sensational affidavit will not be used by the State in the trial of Leo M. Frank, according to a statement Saturday from Attorney Frank A. Hooper, assisting the prosecution. Mr. Hooper said the State had never attached any importance to the affidavit, except for the first few days, and that when Mrs. Formby mysteriously disappeared from the city, the State eliminated her from the case entirely and made no effort to locate her. He said time set forth in the affidavit and the alleged facts were at too wide a …More
