"Devil" Beer Tap in Belgian Confessional: A deconsecrated church built in 1878 in Antwerp, Belgium, has served as a foyer for Theater Elckerlyc since 2025. One confessional now contains a token machine, while another has been fitted with a self-service Duvel 6.66% beer tap. "Duvel" is Dutch for "devil" and is also the name of a Belgian beer brand. An earlier report claimed the diocese had approved the concept, but the article was corrected on 10 June: the diocese says it was not involved in the redevelopment.

Devil installed in confessional with Church's blessing

Duvel - Flemish dialect word for Devil - beer vending machine in confessional in Antwerp: “The diocese even thought it was a good idea”
Antwerp “Is this really how we treat our ecclesiastical heritage?” Outrage has arisen on social media regarding two confessionals in the former Church of Our Lady of Grace on Frankrijklei, which has served as the foyer of Theater Elckerlyc since last year. You can no longer go there to confess your sins, but you can to buy tokens or tap a Duvel 6.66%.
Although both confessionals have been part of the foyer for more than a year, a new debate arose this week after a theatergoer shared a photo of the token vending machine in a confessional on Facebook. The person in question criticized the way religious heritage is being handled. The numerous responses show that the repurposing of ecclesiastical elements remains a sensitive subject for some people, even though the Church of Our Lady of Grace has been deconsecrated for quite some time and the building now …

Former atheist says Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream as he hung off the edge of a cliff, crying for help. He didn’t understand the dream when he woke up. He figured it out later. But once he did, he could no longer remain an atheist. DR. SY GARTE: “I was hanging from the edge of a cliff, terrified. I didn’t know what to do, and I couldn’t climb up.” “I was holding on with my hands, and I screamed out, ‘Help. Help.’ I didn’t know who I was calling to. I just said, ‘Help, help.’ And I heard a voice say, ‘Just let go.’ And I said, ‘What? What? I fall down?’” “And the voice said, ‘Just let go.’ So I finally said, ‘Well, okay.’ So I let go. And the moment I let go, the entire landscape turned 90 degrees. And instead of hanging from a cliff, I was lying on the ground.” “And there was a man whose voice I had heard standing there. That was the man who said, ‘Just let go.’ I woke up, and I was like, ‘Whoa, what was that?’ I didn’t know what he meant by ‘just let go.’ I didn’t …More

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò to Leo XIV

A few weeks ago, I made public the events surrounding my request to meet with Leo – specifically, his initial acceptance, his sudden rescission, and then his definitive cancellation. While a Catholic Archbishop was deemed unworthy of being received in Audience, an abortionist and heterodox figure – in the guise of an Anglican “Archbishop” – merited not only the full honors of Vatican protocol but was even permitted to engage in “communicatio in sacris” with Leo and other Prelates, going so far as to impart a “blessing” within the shrine of the Prince of the Apostles. This serves only as further proof of the double standard applied by the proponents of the “synodal church.” I do not believe it is necessary to dwell on this with further commentary ... After long months of silence, the time has come to make known the contents of my letter to Leo of January 25th of this year, thereby establishing a documentary record of the matter.
Holiness, with this letter, I wish to offer for your …More

@Instaurare Omnia in Christo No proof, here, right now. Not even one! I just showed you three proofs regarding the "errors of Russia.". Three different sources that you didn't refute. Okay well you did say, "An old article." But actually that doesn't refute anything. Oh and something "RIGHT FROM PUTIN'S MOUTH," isn't proof, that is propaganda. In case you didn't know the KGB is an elite foreign espionage agency. "Putin served in the KGB from 1975 to 1991, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel." So they are trained in espionage and lying you are going to believe them. Ok. And you said one writer was "untrustworthy" but that isn't proof either. At least you didn't try to get me to watch an RT video! LOL! You believe those are the Gospel truth!

Archbishop Viganò Reveals Cardinal Burke Advised Him to Live in Hiding

Today, Archbishop Carlo Viganò published the personal letter that he had sent to Pope Leo XIV in January. It appears that - despite Viganò having denied that Francis was a legitimate pope - he recognizes Leo XIV. Monsignor Viganò addresses Leo XIV as "Holiness," asks him to exercise his authority, and seeks an audience with him.
Archbishop Viganò recounts his long career in Vatican service, argues that he was punished for exposing corruption and doctrinal problems in the Church, explains how retirement led him to reject Vatican II and the post-conciliar direction of the Church, defends himself against the charge of schism, and urges Leo XIV to break with the errors of the Francis era and the synodal project.
The letter contains a noticeably heavy use of first-person pronouns and is full of self-reference, emphasis on personal integrity, descriptions of persecution and mistreatment, frequent presentation of himself as a key witness to major events, and relatively little self-criticism …More

How to receive the Holy Eucharist according to St Ignatius of Loyola

By Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
Saint of the Day, September 15th 1973
Tyrol (Austria), 1958 – Chinese priest distributes Holy Communion
The highly stable GIFT:
- The grandeur of the GIFT
- The affection of Him Who gives
- Its usefulness to the one who receives it
THE GRANDEUR OF THE GIFT
God gave us being by creating us. God created heaven and earth for all men. God gave us the Incarnation of the Word, becoming flesh to save us. It is a huge gift for Him to have consented to become Man in order to save us.
After becoming a Man, he spent thirty years in this earthly life with Our Lady to glorify God and pray for us men.
After having given us His Teachings and example of Patience, Forgiveness and Affection, He did even more: He gave us the HOLY EUCHARIST.
Through the HOLY EUCHARIST He acquired a more intimate union with us than by the fact that He became Incarnate.
1. HOW HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST
He does so in a way no one could invent. It is such an admirable way that if …More

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5,43-48.
Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Why Does Leo XIV Appoint This Kind of Leadership to the Church? During Sunday Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Archbishop Ronald Hicks of New York celebrated the New York Knicks’ NBA championship victory with an embarrassing display of fandom, which included nervous giggling and requests for applause. Holding up a No. 11 Knicks jersey, he told worshippers that he had 'caught Knicks fever' and had watched the entire championship-winning match. He then showcased a FIFA shirt and a Puerto Rican hat to highlight New York’s major events that day. The performance quickly attracted attention online. Catholics on social media ridiculed the Archbishop, questioning Pope Leo XIV’s decision to appoint him as Archbishop of New York.

la verdad prevalece

All these infiltrated homosexual activists are members of the anti-Church who attack the Church from within—and, with Prevost’s complicity, they defy God. Just as Lucifer dragged a third of the angels along with him in his rebellion against God, Bergoglio and Prevost are dragging their own followers along with them. But God is not mocked with impunity; woe to them, for they are consummating their rebellion against God without the slightest repentance.

Pope Leo met with representatives of the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York and thanked them for their work in helping vulnerable populations. He also highlighted how in a world still wounded by division and conflict, the Second Vatican Council Declaration 'Nostra Aetate' called us "to move beyond past misunderstandings toward collaboration for the common good."

Putin works for the Kremlin! This is funny! The only thing he fears is the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Then he won't be able to go through with the Kremlin's satanic plans to destroy Christianity.

The Ukrainian people were showing and telling Russia where the conscription offices were located. So Russia can destroy them. I posted about that awhile ago. And RT has mentioned it again in a post I just put up. Some people have died and have been seriously injured by those thugs. It won't come to an end till the last Ukrainian is dead. As long as they kill a lot of Russians. Their only goal!
The reported Russian attacks on Ukrainian conscription centers came hours after a large protest in Kiev, said to have been sparked by forced mobilization. The rare mass demonstration was broken up by riot police, who used tear gas to disperse the crowd, according to local media.

How Canada's legal system fights Christians

Remember Pastor Derek Reimer from Alberta? Back in February 2023, he was charged for peacefully protesting against a drag queen story hour for children in a Calgary Public Library. The performance is called "Reading with Royalty." Supposedly his crime was causing a disturbance, and he was forced to leave the premises.
"Reading with Royalty" describes itself as "a family-friendly story time program featuring local drag queen, king, and monarch performers. Created to celebrate inclusivity, kindness, and self-expression, children are invited to dress in their best outfits or crowns to listen to stories and songs in a welcoming environment." Of course none of this "welcoming" stuff applies to those with different views like Pastor Reimer.
In May of 2025, the case was tried. The verdict: Reimer was acquitted of all chargers. But the decision wasn't acceptable to the Crown. They appealed it and the case has been back in court since April 27 of this year. This is how the legal system in Canada …

Italian Archbishops Clash Over Israel: "Antisemit"

Archbishop Franco Moscone of Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo has come under criticism after signing a petition calling on the Il Libro Possibile festival to reconsider hosting Israeli novelist Eshkol Nevo.
According to AgenSir on June 15, Monsignor Moscone argued that intellectuals have a duty to speak clearly in the face of injustice. He added that Nevo had failed to provide sufficient "criticism and clarity" regarding the actions of the Israeli government.
He insisted that "the issue is not that Nevo is Israeli."
Festival organizers rejected the petition and confirmed that Nevo will participate as scheduled, noting that the writer has repeatedly spoken in favor of peace.
The initiative triggered sharp reactions within the Italian Church.
Archbishop Giuseppe Baturi, secretary-general of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), said that "peace is not built by preventing those who think differently from speaking."
Archbishop Carmelo Pennisi of Monreale described the campaign as …More
