Leo XIV’s emphasis on peace and fraternity amounts to “100% Masonic ideology.” Paweł Lisicki, editor-in-chief of the Polish weekly Do Rzeczy, challenges in a October 2 video the claim that Leo XIV’s visit to France signals a Christian revival in Europe. Leo XIV referred to Europe’s Christian roots, but Lisicki argues that the Pope presents Christianity primarily as a source of modern ideals such as human dignity, peace and fraternity, rather than as a call for Europe to return to Catholicism. Lisicki sees this as a profound reversal of Catholic priorities, placing man rather than God, divine truth and salvation at the center. “The glory of man, the dignity of man, has replaced the glory of God,” Lisicki notes, describing recent pontificates as increasingly oriented toward the “false idol” of human dignity. For Lisicki, Leo XIV’s emphasis on interreligious coexistence and on religions serving peace and fraternity represents a secularized redefinition of Christianity—one he describes as …ተጨማሪ
Paweł Lisicki ostro krytykuje słowa Leona XIV o roli religii. Papież podkreśla, że żywotność tradycji religijnych przejawia się w służbie pokojowi i braterstwu. Lisicki odpowiada bez ogródek: „100% ideologii masońskiej”. Jego zdaniem takie podejście sprowadza katolicyzm do budowania pokoju i braterstwa między ludźmi, zamiast stawiać w centrum Boga i prawdę religijną

Bishop Schneider: Christ’s enemies have carried out “a hostile takeover” of the Church. At the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 4, Bishop Athanasius Schneider delivered a diagnosis of the crisis in the Church, describing it as a “hostile takeover” from within. “We are witnesses of an unprecedented crisis of the Church,” Schneider said, pointing to “poisonous doctrinal ambiguities” and even “brazen heresies in the ranks of the high clergy”. “The world Christ warned of seems to have occupied the Church’s strategic administrative positions. There took place a hostile takeover.” Schneider said the crisis now affects virtually every aspect of Church life: “doctrine, morals, liturgy, discipline.” He also spoke of the “marginalization and a true persecution” within the Church of “all what is true Catholic.”

246th Anniversary Since Agnes Mathieu Gained Her Freedom PBS program, History Detectives segment, “The Gálvez Papers“. In 1779 the Governor of Spanish colonial Louisiana signed a document that emancipated Agnes Mathieu from slavery. What was so special about Agnes that a Governor had to sign off on her release? Most freedom papers from the time bear only the signature of the former slaveholder notarized by a local clerk. But Governor Bernardo de Gálvez had a special interest in this case. History Detectives heads to Louisiana to trace an epic tale of politics, war, love and loyalty. In the French Quarter, at Tulane University, and on the shelves of a local archive we discovers Governor Galvez’s pivotal role in America’s fight for freedom – both in the Revolutionary War and in a romantic story of our contributor’s past.

An Outrage in 2019. No Problem in 2026. Trump Has Moved the Ethical Line. nytimes.com/…/10/04/us/politics/trump-moving-ethi… The president’s decision to hold an international summit at his own private golf club, an idea rejected in his first term, illustrates how much he has shattered norms. By Peter Baker Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent, is covering his sixth presidency. He reported from Washington. Oct. 4, 2026, 5:02 a.m. ET When President Trump decided in his first term to host the annual Group of 7 summit of world leaders at his own private golf club in Miami, the act of self-dealing was so astonishing that it incited an uproar among fellow Republicans, forcing him to scrap the idea. Now in his second term seven years later, Mr. Trump has decided to host the Group of 20 annual summit of world leaders at his private golf club in Miami in December — and this time the plan has generated practically no protest. The unprecedented blitz of self-enrichment by Mr. Trump,…ተጨማሪ
US Bishop attends smudging ceremony. On July 11, the Diocese of Raleigh hosted its first multicultural celebration honoring St. Kateri Tekakwitha - the first North American Indigenous saint - at Holy Cross Church. The gathering included discussions, music, and indigenous dances. Richard Duran, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe from Arizona, led a smudging ceremony, which the diocese described as sharing cleansing smoke “as an act of prayer and spiritual connection.” Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama was present and drew laughter when he said he would dance with his heart, not his body, because dancing to music can frustrate him. Smudging has nothing to do with St. Kateri. She left her indigenous community and moved to the Christian Mohawk community at Kahnawake, where she could freely live her Catholic faith.
The bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina participated over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion. Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy.
