Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, removed in June as an exorcist by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy, is continuing his deliverance ministry. In an August 3 email to subscribers, Monsignor Rossetti said he remains a priest in good standing in his home Diocese of Syracuse, New York, and will continue his work through the St. Michael Center, which operates within the territory of the Washington archdiocese. On June 3, Cardinal McElroy removed Rossetti as an archdiocesan exorcist and ended all affiliation between the Archdiocese of Washington and Rossetti's St. Michael Center. Monsignor Rossetti argues that he retains priestly faculties in several dioceses and exorcist faculties in two others. He also says his own bishop has encouraged him to continue the ministry. The June controversy followed Rossetti's eccentric claim that UFOs "are, in fact, demons." Cardinal McElroy - who had removed him for this claim - later said the decision was not about UFOs but reflected his view that the role of an …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
Apologies for straying from the topic, but if anyone knows anything about the new Bishop of Karaganda, Father Piotr Plytowany, I would be interested to hear it. Thank you very much.
Biblical Cosmology: The Earth Is a Stationary Plane Beneath the Celestial Vault - The Bible makes no mention of outer space or the trillions upon trillions of other planets that modern astronomers claim exist. Nor does it mention a Big Bang beginning or the force of gravity that keeps people and oceans attached to all sides of a rotating sphere. The cosmology described in the Bible is clearly geocentric, fixed, and motionless, with a flat Earth. Source:youtube.com/watch?v=mkDfxFR5gwg
Bishop Mark A. Eckman, 67, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will bring an end to the traditional Latin Mass at St. Titus Church in Aliquippa after nearly 20-years. Bishop Eckman was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Pittsburgh in 2021. In June 2025, Leo XIV promoted him to Bishop of Pittsburgh. In a letter dated 7 August (see below), Monsignor Eckman announced that the final Mass to be held at St. Titus using the 1962 Missal is scheduled for 4 September. The remaining two traditional Latin Masses in Pittsburgh are offered by the Institute Christ the King in Brighton Heights and by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in the West End. Bishop Eckman said his predecessor, Bishop David A. Zubik, received Vatican permission in 2022 to continue the Mass at St. Titus. The initial two-year authorization was extended in September 2024 for another two years. The Bishop didn't seek another extension, “The permission to celebrate according to the older ritual in a parish church was only ever meant to be …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
The Redemption of Man and the Rejection of “Holy Sex” A Patristic and Scholastic Disputation Against the Modern Exaltation of Carnal Pleasure “The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.” —1 Corinthians 15:45 Prologue: The Question Before Us There is a fundamental question which must be asked before we speak of the holiness of sexual pleasure: What is man? And immediately after that: What became of man through the Fall? For if we begin with fallen man as though his present condition were the standard of human nature, we shall inevitably mistake the wounds of the Fall for the original design of God. This is precisely the danger in the modern exaltation of sexuality. The question is no longer merely: "Is marital intercourse lawful?" The Catholic tradition already answers that question. The more profound question is: "What ought the Christian to desire within the marital act?" And here a profound difference appears between the ascetical tradition …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
On 6 August, Italian journalist David Murgia published the results of a confidential 2016 consultation within the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith concerning the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje on IlSegnoDiGiona.com. Two Thirds of the Congregation said Medjugorje was NOT Supernatural According to Murgia, 33 participants were asked to provide written opinions, or 'vota', on the Medjugorje phenomenon. Murgia reports the following results (17 September 2016): 21 participants chose 'constat de non supernaturalitate' (not of supernatural origin). 9 participants chose 'constat de supernaturalitate' (supernatural origin). 3 chose 'non constat de supernaturalitate' (the supernatural character has not been established). This corresponds to approximately 63.6 per cent for 'not supernatural', while only nine voted in favour. Ruini Commission, 2010-2014 This voting followed the work of the International Commission of Inquiry on Medjugorje, commonly known as the Ruini Commission. The …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

Called By Name: Fr. Patrick Suh on Mobilizing Parishes for Priestly Vocations "If vocations depend just on me, we're never going to get any." Fr. Patrick Suh joins CatholicTV to share how the Archdiocese of Newark invited parishioners to actively call forth future priests. How do we cultivate a culture of vocations in our local parishes? Fr. Patrick Suh, Vocation Director for the Archdiocese of Newark, sits down with CatholicTV's Jimmy Reynolds to discuss the success of the Called By Name campaign. Fr. Suh shares the providential origins of the initiative—prompted by Cardinal Joseph Tobin—and explains how it launched on Good Shepherd Sunday. Rather than leaving vocation efforts solely to the diocesan office, the campaign empowered families, friends, and fellow parishioners to identify young men in their pews who possess the qualities of a good shepherd. With over 500 unique nominations submitted, Fr. Suh details the next steps: personal invitation letters from the Cardinal, St. Andrew's …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi
Poor Jesus. Just as there is nothing sacred in dancing on Calvary, there is nothing sacred in jumping in the presence of Jesus in the holy sacrament. One more hireling leading the flock astray.
@ Pagina Cadolica blogspot com/2026/08/esto-es-cari... Thank you for the warning of this blasphemous mockery of Devotion to The Blessed Eucharistic Present in the Monstrance. ~ It not only offends Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament; It really is child abuse of the worst kind. ~ ("It would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck & be cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones"). ~ St. Luke Chapter 17-2.
Hiroshima must remain forever in humanity's memory as a warning, not a precedent. Behind that explosion lay lives, families, dreams, and generations scarred by a pain that should never be repeated. No conflict, ideology, or pursuit of power can justify such a tragedy. May the memory of Hiroshima help us understand that, given our capacity for self-destruction, peace, dialogue, and reason are not merely options—they are a responsibility we owe to humanity and to generations yet to come. Never again a nuclear war.
Hiroshima debe permanecer para siempre en la memoria de la humanidad como una advertencia, no como un precedente. Tras aquella explosión había vidas, familias, sueños y generaciones marcadas por un dolor que jamás debería repetirse. Ningún conflicto, ideología o afán de poder puede justificar semejante tragedia. Que el recuerdo de Hiroshima nos ayude a comprender que, dada nuestra capacidad de autodestrucción, la paz, el diálogo y la razón no son meras opciones: son una responsabilidad que tenemos con la humanidad y con las generaciones venideras. Nunca más una guerra nuclear.

Angela Merkel admitted on camera that she deliberately flooded Germany with Muslim migrants to “stop the far-right.” She preferred to erase her own people and put them in danger rather than risk losing power.
They'd better disclose her personal Stasi archive. She's talking as if she was the head of state of the former DDR. Does she even know how real democracy works?
[Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Chapter XVI ~ THE SAINT SHOWS THAT THE SUFFERINGS OF THE SOULS IN PURGATORY DO NOT DESTROY THEIR PEACE OR THEIR JOY. I SEE that the souls in purgatory in the midst of their pains are sensible of doing two things : First, that they are suffering willingly ; for when they perceive their own deserts and God's Majesty, they think that He is treating them with great leniency in afflicting them as He does ; for had not goodness tempered justice with mercy through the satisfactions of the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, a thousand hells would have been the portion of a single sin through all eternity. Hence they suffer all their pains gladly, and would not rid them of a single pang, knowing that all is justly deserved and righteously ordained : they no more complain of God, so far as their will is concerned, than if they were in life eternal.

"Secondly, they are conscious of feeling positive satisfaction in beholding the love and mercy with which God orders His work within them. They are made sensible of these two facts at one and the same moment, and being in a state of grace, understand them as they are, each soul according to its capacity ; and they experience great happiness, which never grows less, but, on the contrary, goes on increasing the nearer they approach God."
