"I know many bishops, and almost all of them — mostly from Western Europe — tell me that they also want to ordain married men," said Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp in an interview with Katholisch.de on 2 April. In March, he announced his intention to ordain married men as priests by 2028. "I have not yet heard a Catholic bishop tell me, 'Even if the Pope gives me the possibility, I will not ordain married men.' They know this in Rome as well." Bishop Bonny worked in the Vatican for eleven years and is familiar with the different interests at play: "In Rome, they understand the situation here, and I know bishops and cardinals who support this solution, at least in Western Europe." He believes that the ordination of married men as priests is "a great necessity". "The consensus is there." Until the 1960s, a diocese such as Antwerp's had almost 1,500 active priests, as well as several hundred more who were retired. Now, the diocese has fewer than 100 priests, half of whom come from abroad. …Zaidi
Many priests went from Antwerp to The Netherlands for their formation, because they didn't want to become social workers in Antwerp. Others went to France. Many were discouraged. At some time praying the rosary was prohibited in the Flemish seminary in Leuven. All conservative movements are discouraged or prohibited. The dioceses in Flanders constantly praise women rights, homosexuality and blaim the celibacy for ... And then you say there are no vocations, and you need to protestantisize the priesthood, in a paid job for married men (state paid in Belgium), and already hinting for woman priests.... But they cannot find men for the married diaconate. If you do not pray for priests, if you do not honour them, if you degrade the sacraments ... then go and do something else, mgr Bonny.
The Passion of the Christ movie. This is an old episode of What Catholics Believe from 2004.
The Passion of the Christ movie. WCBOhio on Nov 14, 2015 This is an old episode of What Catholics Believe from 2004. It was recorded shortly after the release of Mel Gibson's film, "The Passion of the Christ". Due to poor picture quality the program was never shown. Hoping there may still be some interest in the discussion however, it was decided to salvage the footage by converting it to black and white and make the best of what was there. The audio is still quite good. The host was James Urling, a Cincinnati area attorney. At the time, What Catholics Believe was broadcast on Time-Warner cable, hence the running time to fit inside a half-hour slot (this is true of all the older series of shows). Also like all the older shows, this one too is small in format. This is due to the deprecated analog NTSC broadcast standards that were used at the time.
Many dioceses across Europe, North America, and Asia have seen significant increases in Catholic baptisms and conversions this Easter. The strange thing is that anti-Catholic media including New York Times, Washington Post or CNN advertised this trend. The most significant increase was reported in France, where 21,386 catechumens were baptized during the Easter Vigil. The total included more than 13,000 adults and over 8,000 adolescents, marking the highest figure ever recorded in the country. Outside Europe, large numbers were also reported in parts of Asia. In Hong Kong, approximately 2,500 catechumens were baptized, while Singapore reported 1,089 catechumens entering the Church. In North America, several major dioceses published substantial baptism figures. The Archdiocese of Toronto reported 1,584 catechumens, while Vancouver recorded around 650 catechumens. In the United States, diocesan figures included approximately 900 catechumens in Richmond (Virginia), more than 680 in …Zaidi

Yes, you will continue to bomb schools, universities, hospitals, science centers, libraries, and truck drivers, shopping centers and towns and villages. Poisoning their water. Killing many innocent children and people. We know. Just like you and Israel did to Gaza! What goes around comes around. This man given to America as punishment for our sins. He is a disaster to the world. And he is going to bring all of us all down with him. But, it is GOD'S Will that he does this. So be it.

And isn't this the same apostate who wishes Muslims a Happy Ramadan? And who congratulates an Anglican heretic? And who allows himself to be subjected to the incantations of shamans? All while brazenly presenting himself as the pope of all false religions—and, moreover, demanding to be recognized as Pope.

1) The Remnant Church, Faithful to Jesus, will withstand all fiery persecution. a) Saint Mathew 16: 18; “I say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church and the gates of Hades will never prevail against it”. b) Daniel 12:1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not been since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.” c) Revelation 1:17-18: “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last, the Living One.

Following government directives, public Easter services in Dubai have been cancelled since Good Friday. The regime's excuse is that tensions in the Middle East are escalating. Dubai has two Catholic parishes - Saint Mary's and Saint Francis of Assisi in Jebel Ali. Both have confirmed the closures on their websites and will remain closed "until further notice". Saint Mary’s Church is one of the largest Catholic parishes in the world, with around 30,000 members, many of whom are Filipino workers. On Good Friday, many Catholics who had not been informed of the closure were seen praying outside on the pavement instead. Easter liturgies were only being streamed online. Bishop Paolo Martinelli, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia, acknowledged worshippers' disappointment at missing Holy Week celebrations. #newsAfvbsxvwah
