Today, Leo XIV made two linked appointments in Pakistan, involving a strange exchange of dioceses between two prelates. Monsignor Khalid Rehmat has become the Archbishop of Lahore. He had previously served as Apostolic Vicar of Quetta. Archbishop Sebastian Francis Shaw, who was previously Archbishop of Lahore, is the new Apostolic Vicar of Quetta. Lahore is the most important Catholic archdiocese in Pakistan with 500,000 Catholics. Quetta has 34,000 Catholics. Allegations of Fraud, Nepotism, Abuse Monsignor Shaw had led Lahore since 2013, before being removed from active leadership in 2024. In August 2024, the Vatican forced him to step aside temporarily. The investigation involved serious accusations, including financial corruption, the misuse of church property, nepotism, and allegations of sexual misconduct. The Vatican's investigation has never been publicly concluded with a judgment. Appreciate and Celebrate the Diverse Religions His successor, Archbishop Rehmat, had only become …තව
**Faith Without Submission Is Dead: A Catholic Wake-Up Call to the “Traditionalists” Who Resist the Pope or Deny He Exists. St. James could not have been clearer: “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead” (James 2:26). The inspired word of God does not say “faith apart from feelings is dead,” or “faith apart from private judgment is dead,” or “faith apart from whatever you personally decide is ‘traditional’ is dead.” It says faith without *works*—concrete, visible acts of submission to God’s will—is a corpse. And nowhere does the Catholic faith demand a more concrete work than this: submission to the visible head Christ appointed for His Church. Vatican I did not issue a pious suggestion. In the dogmatic constitution *Pastor Aeternus*, the Council solemnly defined, with the full weight of an ecumenical council under the Holy Spirit’s protection, that the Roman Pontiff possesses “primacy of jurisdiction over the whole Church of God.” Full …තව
You do not address the question of whether the man sitting as Peter is in fact Peter. You presume that he is, and hence then, is your case not circular? You have yet to address the meaningful challenge that there is an antipope in the See of Peter, and one does not owe obedience to an imposter. You never answered the question: if the man sitting as Peter told you to honor a demon with a sacrifice on the Altar of God during Mass, are you required to do it? Doesn't making the request by definition exclude the man from being the Supreme Pontiff? Please don't hide behind ignorance of the event pictured; one who is unaware of this is hardly in a position to instruct others in such a weighty matter.
Is this wake up call for St Paul as well??? He tells us "But when Cephas (St Peter) was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed." (Gal 2:11). He also says: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." (Gal 1:8). Maybe St Paul didn't realize that the Roman Pontiff has primacy of jurisdiction over the entire Church? or maybe he didn't realize that faith without works is dead? ... or maybe he knew that one can acknowledge someone's authority, and yet refuse to obey their illegitimate commands!
In addition to approximately 1,400 Iranian casualties, the aggression against Iran has already claimed more than 560 US military casualties. According to the IRGC, 560 US soldiers have been killed and wounded in strikes on US bases in the region, and the attacks continue. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the deaths and injuries of at least 560 US soldiers as a result of a series of Iranian attacks on US bases in the Middle East. The IRGC statement, published by the Fars news agency, said that US forces in Bahrain were attacked with two ballistic missiles, while other bases were repeatedly attacked, resulting in numerous casualties among US soldiers, RIA Novosti reports. Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani, in turn, stressed that Iran has no intention of attacking countries in the region, but is attacking exclusively US bases, which it considers US territory. He also assured that the attacks would continue as long as these facilities …තව
DEAR FATHER: PLEASE WEAR PROPER VESTMENTS I’m just wondering: why do churches enforce dress codes for parishioners, but sometimes the priests themselves don’t wear their proper priestly vestments properly? I’m just asking. You walk into a church and sometimes you’ll see signs or hear reminders about dress codes. People are told to dress modestly, wear appropriate clothing, and show reverence because we are entering the house of God. And honestly, that makes sense. The church is not a casual venue. It’s not a coffee shop or a concert hall. It’s the place where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered. So naturally, the faithful are encouraged to dress with dignity and respect. But then sometimes you notice something else that raises a question in your mind. If the faithful are expected to dress properly for Mass, why is it that sometimes the clergy themselves don’t always wear their vestments with the same sense of precision and reverence? Traditionally, the Church has been very …තව
Leo XIV recognized the "International Women’s Day" during the Angelus: "Today, 8 March, is International Women’s Day. We renew our commitment, which for us Christians is based on the Gospel, to recognize the equal dignity of man and woman", he said. International Women’s Day is a feastday of socialist and communist movements. The modern date, March 8, became prominent during the 1917 protests by women workers in Petrograd, which helped spark the Russian Revolution that led to Bolshevik rule. For decades it was mainly observed in communist and socialist states and associated with revolutionary politics including on abortion and gender ideology. In parts of South America, radical activists’ protests on this day have vandalized churches, attacked Catholic symbols, or disrupted Eucharists. In Leo XIV's Rome, during yesterday's "Women’s Day" protests, demonstrators stopped outside the office of a prolife organization and chanted violent slogans such as (video below): - "Prolife offices …තව
Prevost's audacity in defying God and violating the First and Second Commandments demonstrates his malice and impenitence. He follows the same path of perdition as his infamous mentor, the deplorable Bergoglio.
Commenting on the Gospel read that day, Leo urged his listeners: “The Lord still says to his Church: ‘Lift up your eyes and recognize God’s surprises!’”

Blood thirsty fear and warmongers don't realize that what goes around will come around. Just as we see it going on in Israel. The sad part is they always aim at the children. NOT just a little girls school and gym, but also they were aiming at a boy's school as well. They will get theirs and unfortunately so will we.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we are back. I had an email from Father Paul Kramer today, and it's titled, Watch the Trump administration drafted the Epstein death notice the day before his death. I mentioned that earlier tonight, and yes, it's a funny one. There's lots of very odd things going on out there, to put it mildly. Hello, Father Kramer, and welcome back. Glad to hear you, as always. Great to be back. Yeah. Well, they made a mistake, and evil does that. It makes mistakes. That's funny. The whole Epstein thing. When he allegedly died in jail, I was right on that, as were a lot of other sharp people. They understood. The Mossad doesn't kill its own, especially someone so masterfully successful, working for the devil. No, they're not going to kill him. They took him out. They're both free now, both Maxwell and Epstein. There's a double in there for Ghislaine or Ghislaine, however you want to be formal with the pronunciation. They're both free. They're out. That double is not her. …තව
