Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht celebrated his first public Mass in the Roman rite on Sunday at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (known as the Grote Kerk) in Oss, the Netherlands. In his homily (video below), he spoke about the Gospel of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Cardinal Eijk recounted an example from the 1950s in the Netherlands. A priest teaching religion at a Catholic school told students that the multiplication of the loaves should not be taken literally, since such a miracle would be impossible. Instead, he explained it as a moral story: people shared the food they already had because they were inspired by Jesus’ preaching about love. Eijk added that this kind of denial destroyed the faith of many Catholics. He recalled that in the 1950s and 1960s the once-strong Church in the Netherlands collapsed, identifying one of the causes as poor preaching by clergy who themselves undermined belief. According to him, the faith of once-convinced Catholics was “…More
"The miraculous multiplication of the loaves was indeed performed by Jesus. (...) God created the universe ex nihilo. If He possessed the power to achieve that, then He is surely capable of multiplying bread in a miraculous manner" (Willem Jacobus Cardinal Eijk)
“Grünwidl said he hoped the Church would remain “open to changes, including changes to Church commandments and laws”, if such developments helped to lead people more deeply into a life oriented towards God.”
Tue Mar 17, 2026 - 12:01 am EDTMon Mar 16, 2026 - 6:20 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The saint we have to honor today is the apostle of that faithful people, whose martyrdom has lasted three hundred years: it is the great St. Patrick, he that gave Erin the faith. There shone most brightly in this saint that gift of the apostolate, which Christ has left to His Church, and which is to remain with Her to the end of time. The ambassadors or missioners, sent by our Lord to preach His Gospel, are of two classes. There are some who have been entrusted with a small tract of the gentile world; they had to sow the divine seed there, and it yielded fruit, more or less according to the dispositions of the people that received it: there are others, again, whose mission is like a rapid conquest, that subdues a whole nation, and brings it into subjection to the Gospel. St. Patrick belongs to this second class; and in him we recognize one of the most successful instruments of God’s mercy to mankind. And …
Voices of MAGA: From support to open rebellion The protest of key figures within MAGA has been particularly striking. Tucker Carlson, a well-known supporter of isolationism, expressed outrage during an ABC News interview on March 1, declaring the attacks on Iran “Absolutely disgusting and evil.” In a podcast, he added,“This is not America’s war. This is Netanyahu’s war that’s being forced upon us… We promised America First, and instead got endless wars fought for the interests of others.”
The night of February 28-March 1, 2026, will be remembered by all those who followed the news in real time. At 1:15 AM EST, seated in the White House Situation Room, US President Donald Trump said,“Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck.” Those nine words signaled the launch of the largest US-Israeli military operation in decades. F-35 fighters, B-2 bombers, cruise missiles launched from ships in the Persian Gulf, and drones struck over 3,000 targets in Tehran, Natanz, Fordow, and other locations in Iran. The mission was to eradicate what remained of Iran’s nuclear program, dismantle the command structure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and as Trump later confirmed in a video address from Mar-a-Lago, “eliminate imminent threats” to the US from the Iranian leadership. However, within hours, the situation changed. Iranian state television announced that “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has fallen a martyr due to the aggression of the Zionist and American …
Tech billionaire Peter Thiel, 58, is holding a closed-door lecture series at Palazzo Orsini Taverna in Rome’s historic center on the theme of the Antichrist (March 15–18). Organized by the cultural association Vincenzo Gioberti, about 100 invited participants attended. Among them are many Americans, including priests and seminarians from the Angelicum. This pontifical university had originally been supposed to host the event before Vatican intervention. According to LaStampa.it (March 16), Thiel said: “I am a Christian, I want to preserve freedom, and I fear the Antichrist.” Thiel grew up in an Evangelical Christian family and has said that his worldview is shaped by “Christianity”. Shaped by Homosexuality Already in 2007, the Silicon Valley blog Valleywag, run by the media company Gawker Media, published an article stating that Thiel “is totally gay.” Thiel later secretly funded Hulk Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker over a leaked sex tape. The case resulted in a $140 million verdict …More

It's no surprise they said no. People don't care to see or know the truth. And because they refuse it, they will go down with him. Maybe if they call themselves Catholic, they should start thinking and acting like a Catholic. I will give them all a sweet reminder. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
The trouble with a great deal of the commentary on this war is that most critics and leftist narrative designers haven't a clue as to the data and the intelligence whereupon the decisions and strategy are formulated. The President has a superb cabinet and inner circle of advisers, and a top notch military command.
A historic moment in the Netherlands: Pontifical Mass by Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk according to the ancient Roman rite In a time when there is often talk of a crisis of identity and memory within Western civilization, there are moments that strongly remind us that the heart of the Catholic Church still beats to the rhythm of its two thousand years of tradition, which we call Tradition. One such extremely important moment in the history of the Church occurred yesterday, on Laetare Sunday, March 15, 2026, in the city of Oss, where His Eminence Willem Jacobus Eijk presided over a solemn Pontifical Mass according to the traditional Roman rite (Vetus Ordo). The liturgical celebration was held in the historic Grote Kerk (Great Church), dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, and this event represented for many believers a historic moment in contemporary Catholic life in the Netherlands. Namely, this is the first Pontifical Solemn Mass celebrated in this country by a Dutch bishop …More
Novus Ordo priest becomes Novus Ordo Bishop becomes Novus Ordo Cardinel and offers the Tridentine Rite. We are seeing a pattern of Novus Ordo-TLM fusion. The obvious objective is to regularize the false synodal church among those poor unfortunate and stagnant "traditionalists!'
Extramarital sex with witches, cursed bloodlines and possessed politicians: DC's chief exorcist reveals the potent stench of evil among America's elite
Gareth Gore, an accuser of Opus Dei, writes on his Substack.com account that it was Pope Leo XIV who requested today’s meeting. Several weeks ago, a Peruvian journalist contacted Gore to inform him that Leo XIV "was well aware" of his work on Opus Dei and "keen to speak" with him. During today's audience, Leo XIV congratulated Gore on his book, calling it a "rigorous piece of work". The book is entitled Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking and Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church (2024). Opus Dei replied that the book is full of lies and conspiracy theories.
Gareth Gore, accuser of Opus Dei, wrote on his Substack.com account, about today’s meeting with Leo XIV. Some excerpts - The Pope congratulated me on my book, which he called a “rigorous piece of work”. - I shared with the Pope documents and testimonies detailing how the group controls and manipulates the lives of its members – and how it is accused of breaking the seal of confession and abusing “spiritual guidance” sessions to collect information about unsuspecting Catholics. - I talked about how Opus Dei abuses the faith of its members to extract money, favours and obedience. - I argued that the group should be considered an abusive cult that has zero regard for its victims – or the wider Church. - I also shared disturbing first-hand accounts shared with me of a psychiatric facility in the north of Spain known to those inside Opus Dei as la cuarta planta – the fourth floor – where members were quietly sent to be treated for the devastating impact that life inside the group has …More
It is a mortal sin to observe the old rites after the Passion of Christ The Apostle says (Gal 5:2): “If you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” But nothing save mortal sin hinders us from receiving Christ’s fruit. Therefore since Christ’s Passion it is a mortal sin to be circumcised, or to observe the other legal ceremonies. All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith, by deeds as well as by words: and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally. Now, though our faith in Christ is the same as that of the fathers of old; yet, since they came before Christ, whereas we come after Him, the same faith is expressed in different words, by us and by them. For by them was it said: “Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,” where the verbs are in the future tense: whereas we express the same by means of verbs in the past tense, and say that she “conceived …More
Saint Thomas Aquinas commenting on Romans 1 pointed out that sodomites are idolaters: (Rm 6,23): The wages of sin is death. All their idols will be burned in the fire ((Micah 1,7). And it is noteworthy that the Apostle very reasonably assigns to vices against nature, which are very serious among carnal sins, the punishment of idolatry (...) And Saint Paul also points out in Romans 1:32 that the defenders of sodomy are themselves sodomites.
Friends, I've always wondered why people go to the trouble of uttering that most awful blasphemy when a simple "damn" would do well on its own (make what you will of that word). Check out this quick blog where I ridicule this terrible behavior and suggest common sense alternatives.
16.03.2026 WITH LUMEN GENTIUM 16 VISIBLE BISHOP BERNARD FELLAY AND FR. PAGLIARANI ARE IN SCHISM BUT WITH LG 16 INVISIBLE CARDINALS CUPICH, FERNANDES AND ROCHE ARE IN SCHISM: WE CAN CHOOSE THE HERMENEUTIC. Orthodoxy depends upon LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, and GS 22 being physically invisible and not visible,implicit and not explicit. When Lumen Gentium 16 is visible then Pope Benedict, Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J. (Editor) and Mark Brumley (President) of Ignatius Press are in schism. So is Carl Olsen at the Catholic World Report. When LG 8 etc are explicit exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, then there is a break with EENS as it was known to the Jesuits in the Middle Ages. This is a schismatic break. But when LG 8, 14, 16 etc are implicit and invisible cases in 2026 then there are no exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Being saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire refer to invisible cases. We know that an invisible person cannot …More
