“God did it”: Austin Applebee, 13, swam for nearly four hours in the open ocean off the coast of Western Australia to get help for his mother and two younger siblings, who had been swept out to sea while kayaking and paddleboarding. Battling strong currents and freezing water, he swam far beyond what most trained adults could endure. He says that he prayed constantly until he reached the shore: "I don't think it was actually me swimming... It was God the whole time. I kept praying, I kept praying. I told God I would get baptised."

And to think that those in charge are making huge profits from the war. All done with the suffering and deaths of the poor people. Trump during the election said he could end the wars in Ukraine abs Gaza. He lied. He’s one of them.
Prevost and his cardinals and bishops need to unite and condemn Zionist genocide in Palestine. They should be hammering this point frequently and insisting that it stop NOW. Prevost should meet with Trump and EU to condemn this genocide. He won't because all he cares about is Synodality and welcoming perverts into the Church.

Pope Leo XIV met at the Vatican with members of Courage International, a Catholic apostolate supporting people with same-sex attraction who seek to live chastely according to the teachings of the Catholic Church. During the private audience, they spoke about the healing power of chastity, true freedom as mastery of one’s passions, and surrender to God’s will. Fr. Brian Gannon, Executive Director, said the Pope was very supportive and emphasized that no one is alone and Christ walks with the wounded. The meeting was described as a historic first papal audience for the ministry, active worldwide since 1980.
Courage actually encourages SSA people to live celebate lives and remain faithful to Christ and his Church. Fr. Martin tries to influence and change Church teaching to accept homosexuality.
Prevost is like married prostitutes who first sleep with their husband and then sleep with someone else. Bishop Mtumbuka (Malawi) on Fiducia supplicans: “Our major concern with this declaration is that it looks to us like a heresy, it reads like a heresy and it affects heresy, because is asks us to bless two people of same sex, as individuals, but not as a couple, who the previous night sleep together like a couple, presented themselves to us as a couple, are blessed as individuals, but they leave our presence as a couple, they go to their home as a couple, they sleep in the same bed as a couple. But the document says they are not blessed as a couple, although they appear to have been blessed as couple. How could this not be changing the authentic teaching of the Church.”
"May every human entity realize from now on, once and for all, that it is and exists in this world to live, for eternity, in the Holiness of God Himself. In the Holiness desired for all of us, which is that of God, one and triune. The Holiness of Christ and of His Most Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, are for each of us, their beloved children. We are called to this Holiness. Destined to live it here below and in Heaven, for eternity. Invited also to know Science and through it the universe and all that is. Invited to practice the crafts, to exercise the creative and useful work of the artisan, to create works that please God and beautify the Earth. We are here for God, to dedicate our lives to Him. To give Him everything, our work, our families, our homelands, so that He may bless them and keep them forever. Even today, the urgency of this return to God and his divine anthropology is great. Because the time has come. Because the times are fulfilled. Those offered to us to convert …Caman

“There has been a confusion in the Church with regard to moral questions”, Cardinal Raymond Burke told the Substack.com-Account Per Mariam on February 5. “There are questions of intrinsic evils, for instance the killing of an innocent, defenseless human life is always and everywhere wrong. It’s intrinsically evil.” Regarding the million babies killed in the womb every year in the USA, Cardinal Burke said that it is “really infanticide”. About Euthanasia and the denial of nutrition and hydration to patients, Cardinal Burke said: “The Church has first of all, to announce clearly her teaching and not in any way give the impression that She’s unsure about what should happen in these cases, but at the same time to support those members of the faithful who are trying to establish Catholic medical schools, truly Catholic hospitals.” On contraception, he said that it is “an attack on marriage“: “The true meaning of our human sexuality is that it’s not for lust, but it’s for love.” Cardinal …Caman
