The Antilles Episcopal Conference published a Pastoral Letter on Sexual and Gender Identity on 26 July (full text below). Main quotes. - We must resist narratives that suggest the human person is a self-made project, detached from biological reality or moral order. - The human body is not an accessory to identity. - The confusion of our times - driven by ideologies that detach the body from identity, treat desire as destiny, and blur sexual difference - compels us to offer the light of the Gospel and the wisdom of Christian anthropology. - The body is not a barrier to identity but a revelation of it. It is through our male or female embodiment that our unique personhood and our capacity for relationship are revealed. - It is a scientific fact, not a social construct, that human beings are sexually dimorphic. - Sex, then, is not arbitrarily 'assigned' at birth; it is determined at conception through the presence or absence of the SRY gene.

Canada Barring Military Chaplains from Praying at Military Ceremonies: On July 29, Canada's [totalitarian] government introduced a new Canadian Armed Forces policy requiring military chaplains to replace prayers with non-religious "spiritual reflections" at official ceremonies, including Remembrance Day, graduations, and change of command events. The government says the change is intended to uphold state religious neutrality and make ceremonies inclusive of all beliefs.
Non deve restare pietra su pietra della Civiltà Cristiana -specie quella Cattolica.

Happy Feast of St Alphonsus Liguori. St Alphonsus was renowned for his contributions to moral theology and as the patron saint of confessors and moral theologians. Despised by his own contemporary confreres for his rigidity, it’s a small wonder why today, the feminists and amoralists also despise him. St Alphonsus, pray for us. Pray for the coven.
St. Alphonsus Liguori, Doctor of the Church (1787) He founded the missionary Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. He was forced to accept the bishopric of "St. Agatha of the Goths", near Naples. He composed a vast number of books filled with profound learning and piety. He died at 91.
Cardinal Zuppi Wants "a Mediation" on Euthanasia Legislation. Worse than Germany: Speaking on Luca Zaia's podcast Il Fienile in late July 2026, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, President of the Italian Bishops' Conference, said: "I know well that those who are ill don't wait for the law. There are also regions acting in a fragmented way. Politics should find a mediation. I've met sick people who wanted to leave. In these cases, respect is needed. The only choice you can make is to stay close to those who are suffering, which doesn't mean giving up your principles."

Geopolitical analyst Ben Norton discusses Trump and Israel's preparations for a massive strike on Iran and breaks down why the US is choosing escalation now despite retreating on multiple fronts in the war. Oil Reserves (with diagram as seen below) Iran, trump, Israel and so on. A post with Scott Ritter warning us about the same things are confirmed. As well as warned by Larry Johnson, Col Macgregor and many others. Also our depleted stock piles and how it will take 3 + years to replenish and so on. Also how the strikes in Gaza against the children and women are continuing. Once the oil gets to a certain level the tank will be destroyed.

An suggestive exhibition by the Lecoq artists' collective was withdrawn from the church Chapelle du Bourg in Arradon, Bretagne, northwestern France, on 30 July. The exhibition, titled Le Poulailler 4, was scheduled to run from 27 July to 2 August 2026 and had been organized by the municipality as part of its cultural programme. It included photographs depicting two men kissing, a man wearing pink underwear in a suggestive pose, a photograph of male buttocks. Only after complaints about this homosexual propaganda, the municipality proposed that the most controversial photographs either be removed from the chapel or transferred to a nearby municipal exhibition space. The Lecoq collective declined both proposals and removed the entire exhibition on 30 July, before its scheduled closing date. Photographer Nikolaz Le Coq stated that he had not considered the photographs to be a profanation of the chapel and said he had [alledgely] not anticipated that they would be perceived in that way.
