I still remember the summer my grandmother left my brother and me at the country house with Grandpa because she had to go away for a day.
We were eight years old.
That night, we were supposed to be sleeping, but instead we were whispering, laughing, and fooling around in bed. Grandpa finally said, “Go to sleep. I’m getting you up early tomorrow. Breakfast is at nine.”
We didn’t care.
We stayed awake past midnight.
At 8:30 the next morning, Grandpa came in.
“Up. Breakfast is at nine.”
“Okay, Grandpa…”
And we rolled over and went right back to sleep.
We finally woke up around eleven.
The little storage room where all the food was kept was locked. Grandpa had the key in his pocket.
That was new for us.
Grandma would have reheated breakfast five times if necessary.
“Grandpa, what about breakfast?”
He looked at us calmly.
“Breakfast was at nine.”
We wandered around for a while, annoyed and hungry, then decided we didn’t care.
“Grandpa, we’re going down to the river.”
“Go ahead,” he said. “…

Leo XIV appoints religious sister – lobbying for female ordinations – to senior leadership position in the Roman Curia.
On October 8, Pope Leo XIV appointed Sister Mary Teresa Barron as Adjunct Secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization and President of the Pontifical Mission Societies. The Pontifical Mission Societies is a global network supporting missionary activity, particularly in Africa, Asia, Oceania and parts of Latin America.
Born in Ireland, Sr. Mary became a member of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles. The missionary congregation was founded in Lyon, France, in 1876 for evangelization, particularly in Africa.
“Some women sense a call to priesthood”
At a Vatican press conference during the Synod on Synodality in 2024, Sister Barron argued for the ordination of women:
“Is the Spirit calling women? Because some women do sense a call to priesthood or diaconate.”
Sister Barron believes that “we have to look at broader than just can or can we not …

Suicide of a priest: Bernard Card, 73, parish priest of Sainte-Chantal Church in Dijon, France, has committed suicide (pictured left).
The Diocese of Dijon announced his “tragic death,” which occurred during the night of October 4–5 at the Sainte-Chantal presbytery.
Archbishop Antoine Hérouard (pictured right) described the suicide as “completely unexpected and difficult to understand.” According to reports citing his message to diocesan clergy, Rev. Card had recently been tired and had previously been deeply affected by the suicide of his brother.
Ordained in 1981, Rev. Card served the Diocese of Dijon for more than four decades and had been parish priest of Sainte-Chantal since 2019.
Despite the suicide, he will be buried at Sainte-Chantal on October 13.
His death comes less than two years after another priest of the Diocese of Dijon, Rev. Claude-Marie Millet, also committed suicide.

Happy Feast day to Our Lady of Victory.
Now known as Our Lady of The Most Holy Rosary.
Our Lady of Victory Please pray for us.
Link to a short story.
Pope Pius V was the first to give the Blessed Mother the title of “Our Lady of Victory,” instituting devotion to her after Christian forces defeated the Ottomans at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. In 1629, France’s King Louis XIII honored Mary as “Our Lady of Victories,” dedicating a church in Paris in thanks for his own military successes. By 1837, the church, then a basilica, was the site for the Archconfraternity for the Conversion of Sinners. A special group of American visitors stopped there in 1851.
Our Lady of Victory: Histories and Mysteries

At the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia anniversary event, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., approvingly presented a fellow Dominican’s “provocative” description of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as beginning with a “flirt” — adding that “the ambiguity persists” before Christ confronts her with the truth.

UK Muslim Minister Admits Most Muslim Migrants are Rapists
“Every woman that’s in the north of France has been raped along the journey. Some of the men too.”

“You can almost guarantee that every woman that’s in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey. Some of the men too,” UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood admitted on a podcast. “They’ve certainly been abused and threatened.”
If a fellow Muslim woman or girl isn’t safe on a boat full of her own people, what happens to a British woman or girl alone at night in a park or a train station with one of these ‘migrants’?
What the Pakistani Muslim Labour politician put in charge of Britain’s immigration and national security policies didn’t admit was that the majority of those migrants illegally crossing on ‘small boats’ from France to England are from Muslim countries.
In 2025, 77% of ‘small boat’ migrants came from majority …

Devotion to the Holy Rosary: a weapon for the counter-revolutionary to persevere, to sanctify oneself, and to defeat heresies
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
February 12th 1964
Our Lady of Las Lajas (Colombia)
As we all know, one great value of devotion to the Rosary is that it was revealed by Our Lady to Saint Dominic as a means for reviving the Faith in regions heavily devastated by the Albigensian heresy.
Indeed, the general practice of the Rosary revived Faith. With this the Rosary came to be, in epochs when there was true faith in the world, one of the classic Catholic devotions.
This was to such a point that not only were images of Our Lady spread throughout the world, but also the practice of this devotion became common among the faithful.
Moreover, the rosary hanging from the waist became an official part of the habits of many religious orders.
Among a thousand things that can be said in this respect, I would like to emphasize exactly this connection between the origin of the Rosary …

Anti-Church: The Crushing Force Trying to Destroy Catholicism
The Catholic Church faces its greatest test yet: its mirror opposite . . . the Anti-Church!
“I know thy tribulation and thy poverty, but thou art rich: and thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer.” – St. John’s Apocalypse 2:9-10
There is an evil Anti-Church! Our opponents are among us, visible yet clandestine, shameless yet sanctimonious, cruel, cunning, and, alas, much more coordinated and quicker to the punch than today’s shrinking, confused, and desolate remnant faithful.
Oh, how vital it is for us to witness the fulfillment of Holy Scripture and Catholic prophecy right before our eyes. Yes, we should now recognize that a collection of false prophets, false shepherds, and adjacent secularist enemies have assembled into a massive conspiracy against the Catholic Church, paving the way for the eventual arrival of the …

Bishop Mutsaerts: Go to Latin Mass instead of trying to fix your own parish - LifeSite
'If there's a bad Novus Ordo Mass, you can't improve those priests, I'm afraid. So just go anywhere else,' Mutsaerts told LifeSite at the Catholic Identity Conference.
Tue Oct 6, 2026 - 3:38 pm EDTTue Oct 6, 2026 - 8:31 pm EDT
PITTSBURGH (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Robert Mutsaerts said that Catholics who attend parishes with irreverent Novus Ordo Masses should find a Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) or another reverent liturgy instead of attempting to transform their home parish.
During a brief October 3 interview with LifeSite after his talk at the 2026 Catholic Identity Conference (CIC), Mutsaerts responded to a question about whether the faithful should try to improve their home parish with a bad liturgy or attend the TLM.
Mutsaerts, a conservative Dutch bishop who only knows how to celebrate the Novus Ordo, stressed that trying to improve bad parishes is futile. Instead, laypeople should go somewhere …

Poland: 3 foreigners arrested for illegally killing a goat, but prosecutors want to dismiss the case
Medforth AI
Three foreigners were placed under arrest for killing a goat in the Polish city of Wałbrzych. However, Polish prosecutors now want to drop the case.
The incident occurred in late 2025 outside a restaurant in Wałbrzych that was closed for renovation and not operating, authorities said. A witness called police, who arrived and detained the men, two citizens of Bangladesh and one of India, at the scene.
Chief Inspector Marcin Świeży of the District Police Headquarters in Wałbrzych said the men told officers that such behavior is normal in their countries and they did not know it is prohibited in Poland.
The goat was intended as a meal for two of the men, according to Do Rzeczy. The Indian citizen said he is a vegetarian and pleaded not guilty.

Gambetti leaves behind ‘eco-friendly’ St Peter’s that has lost its sacredness
Now is the moment to restore a sense of the sacred to St Peter’s which under Gambetti’s management, bowed to climate neutrality and high energy efficiency.

Now is the moment to restore a sense of the sacred to St Peter’s which under Gambetti’s management, bowed to climate neutrality and high energy efficiency. The chaotic and disrespectful transformation from the Pope’s church into a museum favoured desecrations by tourists and distractions for the faithful.
The replacement of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti as archpriest at the helm of St Peter’s Basilica will only make full sense if his successor departs from the path he traced during his five-year term. In took only Five years to tip the delicate balance, the failure of which is now fully evident in public …
