Vatican Synod commission proposes “complete revision” of canon law — including marriages without a priest. A 10-member Canonical Commission established as part of the Vatican’s Synod on Synodality has published today proposals to reshape canon law. The report says that in the long term there is an “obvious need for a complete revision” of the Codes. The goal is to reflect emerging “theological and ecclesiological issues.” Among the proposals: • Sensus fidei: Canon 749 would begin by stating that “the entire body of the Christian faithful… cannot err in matters of faith” when universal consent in faith and morals is manifested “from the bishops down to the last of the lay faithful.” • Duty to listen: Pastors would have a canonical “duty to listen to the opinion of the Christian faithful” through communal discernment. • Lay governance: Bishops could appoint lay “episcopal delegates” exercising delegated authority. Lay men and women could serve as diocesan judges and, in certain cases, as …Gehiago
Trump Wants to Get His Hands on the Power of the Purse nytimes.com/2026/09/30/opinion/trump-vance-fraud-… Sept. 30, 2026, 5:09 a.m. ET By Jamelle Bouie Opinion Columnist Since March, Vice President JD Vance has been tasked with rooting out any fraud perpetrated against the federal government. “This is a very big thing that we’re doing,” President Trump said when he announced the task force. “If we found half of the fraud that’s taking place in this country — and I think you have a chance of doing that — we would have much more than a balanced budget.” The White House says that since then it has “uncovered” hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud and “stopped” tens of billions in ongoing fraud. But, as my newsroom colleague Linda Qiu notes in a recent report, “It is difficult to verify those figures because there is no publicly available breakdown of the total.” And while fraud is real, there has been no independent verification of the administration’s claims. They’re asking us, in …Gehiago
How Meta Uses A.I. Data Centers to Avoid Billions in Federal Taxes nytimes.com/…6/09/30/technology/meta-ai-data-cent… Meta is exploiting a lucrative tax break intended to support research and experimentation. Its own accountants say the gambit is risky. By Kashmir HillJesse DruckerEli Tan and Mike Isaac Sept. 30, 2026 Mark Zuckerberg says Meta’s A.I. push is a tremendous success. “Our investments in A.I. are accelerating every major part of our core business,” he has toldinvestors. “Every sign that we’re seeing in our own work and across the industry gives us confidence in this investment.” But when Meta files its taxes, it tells the Internal Revenue Service a different story. It claims that its A.I. data centers are a giant experiment that could fail, according to four people with knowledge of the company’s operations. It does this so it can tap into a tax credit intended for research and experimentation. It’s an aggressive interpretation of the tax break, which Meta embraced to …Gehiago

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 …Gehiago

Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra Palantir’s PRISMA software is actively running inside Ukrainian long-range drone strike command posts, confirmed on camera by CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh, who filmed inside a unit planning kamikaze drone strikes deep into Russia. Screens showed real-time maps, flight paths, and AI-processed data overlays while a masked commander (“Vector”) walked through strike planning live. The AI ingests thousands of parameters, including where Russian air defenses are intercepting drones, then calculates optimal routes for the next wave to slip through the gaps.
Trump brought into Palantir then went on to praise them and advertise for them. As usual Trump is behind the strikes and planning of attacking Russia. Pride is the downfall of man. Good riddance to Trump.
September 30: Transitus of St. Thérèse On September 30, a special ceremony, the Transit of St. Thérèse, is held followed by the Vigil Mass for the Feast of St. Thérèse. Instituted in 2008, the ceremony commemorates the saint’s death of tuberculosis at age 24, narrating the saint’s final conversations before her death on Sept. 30, 1897. Just after entering the infirmary on June 9, 1897, Thérèse wrote: “I am not dying; I am entering a new life.” We invite you to contemplate her encounter with the Lord through her final words. The saint’s final months were spent in agony. She was unable to complete her memoirs, which her superiors had assigned, and which was to become one of the most popular spiritual autobiographies of all time: The Story of a Soul. It was during this time that she spoke of her future: “I feel that my mission is about to begin, my mission of making others love God as I love Him, my mission of teaching my little way to souls. If God answers my requests, my heaven will be …Gehiago
Gaetano Masciullo Sep 22, 2026 Part I. Priest excommunicated after defending Tradition speaks out Fr. Leonardo Maria Pompei tells LifeSiteNews how upholding traditional Catholic teaching through online preaching led to his suspension, a schism charge, and now excommunication. An Italian bishop has declared that Father Leonardo Maria Pompei, a priest in his diocese well known for his online preaching, has incurred automatic excommunication for schism. The decision, announced by Bishop Mariano Crociata of Latina-Terracina-Sezze-Priverno on September 11, came at the conclusion of a canonical investigation requested by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith after Pompei announced he would resign as a parish priest and continue his ministry within the world of Catholic Tradition. According to statements released by the diocese and as reported by the Italian press, the charge of schism stems from public declarations in which Pompei allegedly stated that he “no longer recognizes himself …Gehiago
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.
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 …Gehiago
More American money found on terrorists in Russia. Special forces took down a Five Eyes traitor in Khabarovsk! During operational and investigative activities, officers of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia detained a 55-year-old resident of Khabarovsk. The man is officially accused of treason. He faces severe punishment — up to life imprisonment. He is currently in custody. According to the Public Relations Center (PRC) of the FSB, the Khabarovsk resident acted without external pressure or recruitment. He proactively made contact with the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service. This agency is part of the elite Western intelligence alliance 'Five Eyes,' which also includes the USA, The UK, Canada, and Australia. In the video of the arrest and subsequent search released by the agency, you can see bundles of US cash that were seized. According to the investigation, the man handed over secret information purely for personal gain, using foreign postal services and encrypted …Gehiago
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.

However, the amended motion for a new trial has not been served on the Solicitor by Frank's attorneys. It is considered likely that Mr. Dorsey will require a longer time than the two weeks before October 11 in which to study the case the defense sets forth, and to prepare his answer.
