Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon, has renewed a 2018 directive requiring the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel to be recited after Eucharists across the Archdiocese. The instruction was included in a May 12 pastoral letter published on ArchdPdx.org The prayer should be said “after the conclusion of every Mass celebrated in the archdiocese,” describing it as part of a spiritual response to challenges facing the Church. The “Mission Renewal” initiative includes consecration of the archdiocese to the Sacred Heart, novenas, Eucharistic processions, fasting and penance, and works of mercy. Explaining the reason for the prayer, Archbishop Sample wrote that “Satan seeks to divide, disrupt and interfere,” adding that united prayer against “the enemy” is crucial for renewal efforts. #newsIchjizaoee
On May 6, a man vandalized La Ermita Church in Cali, Colombia. Seven statues were destroyed, including images of the Virgin of Sorrows and the Risen Christ. The suspect was arrested at the scene.
A serious case of vandalism was reported a few minutes ago at the La Ermita chapel in Cali.
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is an end in itself," Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, told OsvNews.com on 11 May during a trip to the USA. "Any attempt to instrumentalise the Gospel for a subsidiary purpose, whether cultural, ideological or political, is suspect." He warned against "any attempt to brandish Christianity void of the message and presence of the Wounded and Risen One". And: "Any presentation of Christianity that abstracts the scandal of the Cross, or that uses the Cross perversely as a weapon with which to strike others, is veering towards heresy or even blasphemy." However, the main focus of the interview is psychology, not religion. Some of his main points are: - absolutizing our own experience - immersed in my own experience - the drama of my existence - learn to live with my wound - being wounded is the human norm - a remembrance of healing - living enclosed in ourselves - shut myself off - a new way of being human - a human life is a drawn-out affair Picture: …ད་རུང་།
Shouldn't the Pope be saying this. One thing to describe the problem another to fix it .( SSPX is fixing it) our final hope if they fail all hell will break lose
" Any presentation of Christianity that abstracts the scandal of the Cross..." --- I read in St. Paul's epistle: "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a scandal (skandalon)..." (1 Corinthians 1) So a question follows: is this guy a Jew?
[Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Chapter X ~ HOW GOD MAKES USE OF PURGATORY TO RENDER THE SOUL PERFECTLY PURE THE SOUL THERE ATTAINS SUCH PURITY, THAT WERE IT TO STAY AFTER BEING CLEANSED IT WOULD NO LONGER SUFFER AGAIN, I see that the love of God directs towards the soul certain burning rays and shafts of light, which seem penetrating and powerful enough to annihilate not merely the body, but, were it possible, the very soul itself. These work in two ways ; they purify, and they annihilate. Look at gold : the more it is melted, the better it becomes ; and it could be melted so as to destroy every single defect. Such is the action of fire on material things. Now the soul cannot be annihilated so far as it is in God, but only in itself ; and the more it is purified, so much the more it annihilates self, till at last it becomes quite pure and rests in God. Gold which has been …ད་རུང་།
Great thought:"For a work to be perfect, it must be wrought in us, without our co-operation as principal agents ; it must be God's work, done in God, and man must not in any way take the lead."
"KNOW that what man deems perfection is in the sight of God a defect. All the things which have the appearance of perfection, so far as they come before the sight, the feeling, the understanding, the memory, or the will, are tainted and spoilt if not recognised as from God."
On Pentecost Monday, Cardinal Raymond Burke will celebrate the closing Mass of this year's Chartres Pilgrimage in France. With more than 20,000 pilgrims registered to take part, this is the highest number yet. Other celebrants and preachers alongside Cardinal Burke include Monsignor Patrick Chauvet, former rector of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris; Father Antonius Maria Furtado, Superior General of the Missionaries of the Holy Cross; and Father Serge-Thomas Bonino, OP. Cardinal Burke also celebrated the closing Mass of the pilgrimage in 2017. Other prelates who have previously celebrated the Mass include Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Cardinal Gerhard Müller and Cardinal Robert Sarah. #newsFfujebqnww
When Jesus Christ asserted that we would recognize evil and false shepherds by their wicked deeds, he clearly teaches us that no one who claims to be his disciple—and who possesses mental capacity—has any excuse for ignorance. Therefore, neither Burke, nor Muller, nor Sarah, nor Schneider, nor any other priest or layperson of sound mind has any excuse of ignorance. Since Prevost's rebellion against God's natural law and Catholic doctrine is public and obstinate.
Just like JPII in Poland he never been put in jail yes once Burke was removed from a post but never treated like SSPX but is kept on a leash to keep the traditionist at bay.
Tucho toys with the dogma of the papacy—not to defend the faith against heresy, but so that others may join Prevost's rebellion against God.and against the Church. Thus, for these apostates—who promote the heresy of religious indifferentism—Christ is not necessary for salvation, but Prevost is. According to this servant of the devil, sodomy no longer constitutes an offense against God, but rather the failure to join the promoter of sodomy: Robert Prevost.
Here, there is no "synodality"—that concept in which the figure of the Pope of the synodal sect is nothing more than an equal among others, even the false religions.

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Father Emilio Biosca Agüero, 61, as the new bishop of Venice, Florida. Biosca's parents are both Cuban. He speaks Spanish and Tok Pisin. The Venice diocese covers most of southwest Florida. Monsignor Biosca is a member of the Pittsburgh-based Capuchin Franciscan Friars. He served for over two decades in Papua New Guinea (1994-2006) and Cuba (2007-2019). His public profile is almost entirely defined by immigration ministry. Since 2019, he has been the pastor at the parish of the Sacred Heart in Washington, D.C., one of the city's historic immigrant parishes located five kilometres from the White House. The congregation is predominantly Latino, particularly Salvadoran, but also includes Haitians, Brazilians and Vietnamese Catholics. Under Fr Biosca, the parish expanded ministries for illegal immigrants well beyond pastoral care, including immigrant accompaniment, attending court hearings, legal support, covering rent and legal fees. Several of his parishioners …ད་རུང་།
The talk of a Catholic revival spurred by a surge in adult conversions is misplaced, writes Matthew Schmitz in FirstThings.com (May 12). Conversions show no signs of offsetting the broader decline of Catholic life in the United States. Schmitz points to statistics. In 2000, 2.6 million American children attended Catholic schools. By 2025, that number had fallen to 1.6 million. In 2001, more than a quarter-million Catholic weddings took place in the United States; by 2024, there were only around 107,000. Infant baptisms have also collapsed: more than one million infants were baptized in the Church in 2001, compared with fewer than half a million in 2024. "Catholicism" in Service of U.S. Political Interests At the same time, Schmitz argues that while the Church is shrinking institutionally, Catholic ideas and language are allegely shaping public debate in America. Discussions about immigration, war, political authority, and moral responsibility are now often conducted using Catholic concepts …ད་རུང་།

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Auxiliary Bishop Michele Autuoro, 59, of Naples as the new Metropolitan Archbishop of Benevento, Italy. He was mentored by the pro-homosexual Cardinal Domenico Battaglia of Naples, who is famous for washing the feet of homosexuals and allowing liturgies including transvestites. "Todos, todos, todos" Talking to LaPorzione.it in November 2024, Monsignor Autuoro praised the Francis’ Church. Some quotes from this interview: - “The Church is a great construction site — the construction site of the Synod.” - “The Synod is not a conclusion, it is only a beginning.” - “There is a great desire for change.” - “The Church has only one mission: to reach everyone.” - “The Church is a banquet offered to all peoples, where everyone must sit and no one must be excluded.” Migration / anti-border rhetoric During his time as director of Missio (2013–2018), he campaigned in favour of illegal immigration and criticised "walls and closed borders".

"Strong Lobby Within the Church for the Homosexual Agenda": Rev Donald Haggerty of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York, criticized during a May 11 homily the Vatican Synod study document proposing a “reconsideration” of homosexual relations: "It’s kind of stunning to have that coming out of a document from the Vatican." He added that "there is a strong lobby within the Church for the homosexual agenda".
Fr. Donald Haggerty denounced the Synod study document’s proposed “rethinking” of homosexuality as a disturbing challenge to Catholic teaching.
May 12, 2026Download PDF Story at-a-glance A 2026 scientific review concludes vaping is likely to cause lung and oral cancer, shifting the conversation from uncertainty to clear concern The damage from vaping starts at the cellular level, where DNA injury, oxidative stress and inflammation build long before symptoms appear E-cigarette aerosol contains a mix of cancer-linked chemicals, including nitrosamines, toxic gases and metals released from the device itself Using both cigarettes and vaping products at the same time dramatically increases your lung cancer risk instead of reducing harm Eliminating vaping exposure, improving metabolic health and using exercise to break nicotine dependence directly lowers your risk and helps your body recover For years, vaping was marketed as the cleaner alternative, a way to keep the ritual of smoking without the tar, the smell, or the serious health consequences. That framing is collapsing. A growing body of research now points in the opposite …
@Wilma Lopez It is widely recognized in alternative health circles that cancer is a toxic body's defense mechanism. Vapes are filled with toxins and use an oil as the carrier. These will be considered toxins by your body and if you are not healthy they will form tumors just like other toxins do. However not everyone who smokes gets cancer because some are healthier than others. God bless you. Happy feast day!
