Israel’s Widest Demolition Wave in Months: Israeli forces carried out demolitions across several West Bank communities, affecting homes, businesses, and farms. Near Anza, south of Jenin, owners of three buildings with 18 shops and two apartments were given 40 minutes to evacuate before demolition. Israel says the demolitions target unpermitted construction, while humanitarian groups say Palestinians in Area C are rarely granted building permits. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz also announced more home demolitions, weapons confiscations, and work permit revocations. Palestinian officials say 341 demolition operations in the first half of 2026 destroyed about 740 structures and affected 923 Palestinians.
Israel’s Widest Demolition Wave in Months: Dozens of Palestinian Families Given 40 Minutes to Leave Their Homes
Conservative Archbishop Alexander K. Sample of Portland, Oregon attacked in an in-house interview on Youtube.com on July 28 the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). Main quotes. • "The FSSPX's recent consecration of bishops without a papal mandate takes the situation to a whole new level. They are now the second time bishops have been consecrated." • "They see themselves as the faithful remnant, as though the rest of the Church is wrong and they alone are right. Folks, please don't be in that position." • "I don't attribute any ill will to these folks. They're sincere in wanting to preserve tradition and be faithful Catholics. But they have in fact become something else now, especially in light of these recent consecrations." • "They still mention the Pope in the Eucharistic Prayer, but it's just words. It's not a real communion. They give lip service." Summorum Pontificum Not About FSSPX • "Everybody thinks that Pope Benedict issued Summorum Pontificum... to bring them back …Ētahi atu
Just STOP abusing the abused sheep already. Try not being one of THOSE. For the love of heaven, where is your heart? Your soul? Surely not with the man robbed and thrown in the ditch, the same being tended by that hideously filthy schismatic 'Good' Samaritan. Can't make the ^%$#@! up.
Several Ukrainian intelligence agents were caught far from Ukraine's borders. In fact, these intelligence agents were busted in Iraq, a nation Ukraine helped invade in 2003. According to the Iraqi government, these agents were busted before they could carry out any sabotage attacks inside the country. I would think that the US and Israel were behind this. NOT just Israel. We have not only lost but have been humiliated from day one. Ukraine Agents Caught in Iraq!
Regarding the Novus Ordo, he claimed that the Church wanted to be "more missionary" - Instead of Protestants returning to the faith, Catholics left. The Novus Ordo has failed miserably. Two questions they should have asked Cardinal Roche: Mark 8:18
Society has a thirst for transcendence, but “the old instruments have already fulfilled their purpose and no longer meet the needs of today's people". This claims Bishop Tomáš Holub, 58, of Plzeň, Czech Republic, in a lengthy article about "Synodality and the Novus Ordo Missae" on 21 July on the blog Come se non, run by the Italian theologian Andrea Grillo. Grillo is an opponent of the Roman rite and is considered an influencer of Traditionis Custodes. According to Bishop Holub, a missionary outlook must be rooted in synodality: "Synodality is not merely a technique of communication, but a way of living the faith... The point is not to hold a synod, but to become a synod." The Czech bishop goes on that the Novus Ordo provides the appropriate expression of the Church's synodal identity: "The Novus Ordo makes it possible for this synodality to be applied in the liturgical sphere. Otherwise, this would be very difficult, since the Vetus Ordo is the expression of a Tridentine vision of the …Ētahi atu
SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA - July 31 Priest (1491-1556) St. Ignatius was born in Loyola, Spain. He was a courtier and a soldier until an injury forced his retirement at age 30. While recuperating, he experienced metanoia. A book he was reading encouraged him to place himself amidst the scenes of the Gospel during prayer. With charity for God and zeal for souls, Ignatius vowed to evangelize the Holy Land together with Peter Faver and Francis Xavier. However, war broke out and prevented them from leaving. The group turned to the vicar of Jesus Christ and received approved for their order: the Society of Jesus. The Jesuits' vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to the pope made them effective clerical reformers during the Counter-Reformation. Our Lord promised Ignatius that the precious heritage of His Passion would never fail the Society. Ignatius was once cast into prison in Salamanca on suspicion of heresy. To a friend who expressed sympathy, he replied: "It is a sign that you have but …Ētahi atu
Private Masses During Spain's "Chartres" Pilgrimage: The picture shows the private Masses in the Roman Rite celebrated simultaneously by the priests attending the Pilgrimage to Covadonga, Spain last weekend.

Today, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Gerard Nash, 67, as Bishop of Ossory while he remains also Bishop of Ferns. The pope united two neighboring Irish dioceses in persona episcopi. Under this arrangement, both dioceses retain for now their separate legal identities but are entrusted to the same bishop. Bishop Nash has led the Diocese of Ferns since 2021 and has served as Apostolic Administrator of Ossory since January 2026. Together, the two dioceses serve less than 200,000 Catholics. The appointment marks another step in the ongoing restructuring of the shrinking Church in Ireland. The policy of diocesan consolidation is clearly expanding beyond western Ireland While three previous in persona episcopi unions took place within the Ecclesiastical Province of Tuam in western Ireland, the union of Ferns and Ossory is the first outside that province.

[St. Robert Bellarmine – XVI-XVII Century A.D.; born: Montepulciano, Grand Duchy of Tuscany/died: Rome, Papal States; (Aged 78); Cardinal; Rector; Professor; Doctor of the Church; Role in Giordano Bruno & Galileo cases] CHAPTER V. THE FIFTH PRECEPT, IN WHICH THE DECEITFUL ERROR OF THE RICH OF THIS WORLD IS EXPOSED. IN addition to what has been already said, I must add the refutation of a certain error very prevalent among the rich of this world, and which greatly hinders them from living well and dying well. The error consists in this: the rich suppose that the wealth they possess is absolutely their own property, if justly acquired; and that therefore they may lawfully spend, give away, or squander their money, and that no one can say to them, "Why do you do so? Why dress so richly? Why feast so sumptuously? Why so prodigal in supporting your dogs and hawks? Why do you spend so much money in gaming, or other such-like pleasures?" They will answer: "What is it to you ? Is it not lawful …Ētahi atu
"I shall add two more testimonies from the words of Christ, in the New Testament: " There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted is goods. And he called him, and said to him: How is it I hear this of thee ? Give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer." (St. Luke xvi.) By the "rich man" is here meant God, who, as we have just said, crieth out by the prophet Aggæus: " Mine is silver, and mine is gold." By the "steward" is to be understood a rich man, as the holy Fathers teach, St. Chrysostom, St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, Venerable Bede, besides Theophylact, and Euthymius, and others on this passage."
Poland's Constitutional Tribunal has ruled that homosex “marriages” performed abroad cannot be entered into the country's civil registry. Doing so would violate Article 18 of the Polish Constitution, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The July 28 ruling comes after a series of conflicting legal decisions. In November 2025, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held that Poland must recognize homosex marriages performed in other EU member states where necessary to protect EU free movement rights. In March, Poland's Supreme Administrative Court applied that judgment, and the government began preparing regulations to implement it. The Constitutional Tribunal has now reached the opposite conclusion, holding that foreign marriage certificates may only be transcribed if they meet the constitutional definition of marriage. The court said any change would require an amendment to the Constitution and legislation passed by Parliament - not administrative action. …Ētahi atu
The "pink lobby" is in its element. Here is what the group *Otro Rebaño* says: "A meeting that fills us with hope. We joyfully share this moment we spent with Msgr. José Armando Álvarez Cano, Archbishop of Morelia. As a community, we continue to believe that dialogue, listening, and encounter are paths toward building a Church where everyone can draw near to God with confidence and hope. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide our steps so that we may bear witness to the love, mercy, and fraternity that Christ taught us. 'That they all may be one.' — John 17:21"
(LifeSiteNews) Under Fauci’s leadership, the NIAID approved funding for horrific experiments that involved grafting aborted babies’ scalps onto the backs of lab rats, pro-lifer David Daleiden noted. Just hours before Dr. Anthony Fauci is to appear before a Senate hearing chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, pro-life hero David Daleiden took to social media to highlight the link between the former COVID chief and a horrifying study sponsored by his NIH agency — the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — in which aborted baby scalps were grafted onto lab rats. “Dr. Fauci copied a cover-up headline into his diary disputing his role in a study that grafted 5-month aborted baby scalps onto lab rats,” noted Daleiden, yet, “3 weeks earlier, Fauci swore to Congress his NIAID funded the study ‘with the appropriate oversight and guidelines.'” “You can actually see the photographs in the published study of little baby scalps grafted onto the backs of lab rats growing little baby …Ētahi atu
