Jerome, give me your sins! September 30 – Memorial of Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church Jerome was of a cantankerous, uncompromising, and argumentative temperament. In his debates with other scholars or when criticizing the hypocrisy of the Roman clergy, he often used words that were sharp, aggressive, and offensive. He never denied his difficult character, yet he spent his entire life engaged in a relentless spiritual and physical struggle to curb his anger. He himself described his wrath as a constant "enemy." To combat his outbursts and tame his temper, Jerome turned to four main remedies: 1 Intense and ceaseless study. 2 Harsh physical discipline: he would withdraw into solitude and literally beat his chest with a stone. 3 Constant prayer, tears, and fasting. In his letters, Jerome admitted to spending entire nights weeping, fasting, and crying out to God for mercy immediately after succumbing to a fit of anger. 4 Desert solitude. Whenever he realized that social life in …Okunengi
"Again, our Lord, said, that whither he was going they could not follow him, when Peter exclaimed: ‘Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison and to death.’ And Jesus replied: ‘Amen, amen, I say to thee, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.’ Jesus, while making known to his Apostles that trying times were at hand for them, said: ‘When I sent you without purse, or scrip, or shoes, did you want anything?’ They answered: ‘Nothing.’ ‘But now,’ he continued, ‘he that hath a purse let him take it, and likewise a scrip, and he that hath not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword. For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: AND WITH THE WICKED WAS HE RECKONED. For the things concerning me have an end.’ "

Jesus again instructed his Apostles for a considerable length of time, and also prayed several times. He frequently appeared to be conversing with his Heavenly Father, and to be overflowing with enthusiasm and love. The Apostles also were full of joy and zeal, and asked him various questions which he forthwith answered. The scriptures must contain much of this last discourse and conversation. He told Peter and John different things to be made known later to the other Apostles …Okunengi
Leo XIV Appoints Bishop Who Celebrates Jewish Passover with Seminarians. Pope Leo XIV today appointed Bishop Ramón Salazar Estrada, 63, until now auxiliary bishop of Guadalajara, as the new Bishop of Mazatlán, Mexico. Salazar was ordained a priest in 1993 for the Archdiocese of Guadalajara. He holds a doctorate in moral theology from the Alphonsian Academy in Rome. Allegations of Homosexual activity at the seminary In the Archdiocese of Guadalajara there is an anonymous church watchblog, GdlSantaIPecadora.blogspot.com. According to this source the seminary was suffering in 2012 from “delicate cases of homosexuality”, alongside alcoholism. In May 2014 the blog alleged an internal network of seminarians arranging homosexual encounters by phone, connections with priests outside the seminary, and protection or tolerance by some formators. It also claimed that at least seven seminarians had been dismissed after accusations concerning homosexuality. Salazar was already closely involved in …Okunengi
The heresy of VII ecumenism has led their adherents to the Great Apostasy—that is, to the Great Rebellion against the Most Holy Trinity. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) “It is absurd for a heretic to say that he believes in Jesus Christ. To believe in a person is to give our full consent to his word and to all he teaches. True faith, therefore, is absolute belief in Jesus Christ and in all He taught. Hence, he who does not adhere to everything Jesus Christ has prescribed for our salvation does not have any more of the Doctrine of Jesus Christ than the pagans, Jews and Mohammedans.”
Being Catholic is not defined by what Gloria.tv says, but by what the Church says. Many Gloria.tv users have set up their own church or joined parallel churches, such as El Palmar de Troya in my country. That is not being Catholic. I suppose that for Irishpool and other users, any sect like El Palmar counts as Catholic because "they adhere to all the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church."

Wounded Polish Priest Returns to Mass After Deadly Abbey Attack, Preaches Forgiveness | SG News Two days after a deadly knife attack at the Benedictine Abbey in Jarosław, Poland, the monastery reopened its doors to the faithful — and one of the priests wounded in the violence returned to the altar with a message of forgiveness. Father Adrian Mantykiewicz, still bearing visible bruises and bandages on his head and hand, celebrated Holy Mass on September 26 following the September 24 attack. Father Stanislaw Zbojniewicz died from injuries sustained in the assault, while Father Marek Pienkowski remained in serious condition in hospital. Four people were injured in total. Police arrested a 31-year-old Ukrainian man, identified by prosecutors as Ihor M., who was charged with murder, attempted murder and causing serious injury. The investigation remains ongoing. Yet Father Adrian’s homily was centered not on anger, but on the Gospel. He told the congregation that the evil committed at the …Okunengi
"More of them yawn and stretch and turn the pages of their prayer book as if they were examining it in order to see whether the printer had made any mistakes. There are others, and you can see them sleeping as soundly as if they were in a comfortable bed. The first thought that comes to them when they awake is not that they have been profaning so holy a place but: "Oh, Lord, this will never be over.... I'm not coming back any more." And finally there are those to whom the word of God (which has converted so many sinners) is actually nauseating."

Well, my dear children, let me describe them. I will compare them (if I may dare to make use of the term) to dogs who will run to the first person who calls them. You may follow them from the morning to the evening, from the beginning of the year to the end. These people look upon Sunday as merely a day for rest and amusement. They stay in bed longer than on weekdays, and instead of giving themselves to God with all their hearts, they do not even think of Him. Some of them will be thinking of their amusements, others of people they expect to …Okunengi
La anglicana Abadía de Westminster honrará a Tolkien. J.R.R. Tolkien, famoso escritor católico autor de “El Señor de los Anillos”, será homenajeado con un monumento en la Abadía de Westminster. hmtv
J.R.R. Tolkien, writer, artist, scholar and linguist is to be honoured in Westminster Abbey in Poets’ Corner alongside his close friend and fellow writer, C.S. Lewis. A major new memorial celebrating Tolkien’s creative vision and storytelling by artist Stephen Broadbent will be revealed at a dedication ceremony in Spring 2027, which is also the 90th anniversary year of The Hobbit and 50th anniversary year of The Silmarillion. The new memorial has been inspired by Tolkien’s Tree of Tales, which he called the Tree of Amalion. Featuring the imagery of a tree in a forest as its central theme, it will be a significant new artwork for the Abbey, inlaid vertically within a stone pillar in the south transept and rising 2.5 metres high. Predominantly made from native woods found in the UK, it will include a piece of the iconic black pine, known as ‘Tolkien’s tree’, which was felled from Oxford University’s Botanic Garden in 2014. The tree, a Pinus nigra, was a favourite of Tolkien during his time …Okunengi
Leo XIV "did not want to get involved in French politics". Tonight, on the return flight from Metz to Rome, Pope Leo XIV was asked whether his remarks on euthanasia had crossed the boundary between religion and politics. Leo XIV replied: “I have not crossed that boundary.” When the Church speaks “in defense of life,” it is “not doing politics, but applying the Gospel to people’s lives.” And: “If this is doing politics, I did it; but I certainly did not intend to meddle in French politics. I simply wanted to teach what the Church really believes.”
‘I didn’t want to get involved in French politics, I only wanted to proclaim the gospel.’ That’s what Pope Leo XIV said on Monday evening during the plane interview on the return flight to Rome after his four-day visit to France.
Leo XIV invokes Europe’s Christian roots in defence of human rights and migration. Pope Leo XIV offered a sweeping account of European civilisation and its future in a September 28 landmark speech at the Robert Schuman Congress Centre in Metz, France. Speaking on “The Roots of Europe for Peace and Unity,” Leo XIV’s argument was, at its deepest level, anthropological: Europe’s future depends upon its understanding of the human person. Leo XIV began with Europe’s Greek, Roman and Christian inheritance, but emphasised that “European civilization is also the fruit of centuries-long encounters.” He specifically cited “the presence of Arab culture in the Iberian Peninsula.” He then turned to the contribution of Benedictine monasticism. After recalling its role in caring for the poor, sick and elderly, as well as in universities, hospitals, medicine, science, architecture, law and political organisation, he declared: “Without this monastic tradition, European civilization as we know it would …Okunengi
At a moment in history when relations between nations "are becoming increasingly barbaric," dialogue and multilateralism remain "the best antidote to the desire for domination, which lies at the root of every conflict," Pope Leo XIV said.

The freedom loving Ukrainians were the same people who wrote to Putin. Keep up with my posts and listen carefully to what the old pensioners are saying in them. One elderly women said to Patrick Lancaster. I personally wrote to Putin to come and save us. And so Putin finally went in because he couldn't take it any longer. Taking a chance to provoke the US AND NATO. To save the Ukrainian people. Not just from death and rape. Sounds awfully strange that Russia is already bringing salvation to the Ukrainian people. Lead by The Blessed Mother through Putin. You sound more and more everyday like a globalist puppet. If I can see it so does many others. Though I know you have at least two helpers from other countries who also show their true colors. Working on the side of the enemy as usual.
Pope of Applause. Leo XIV received three minutes of thunderous applause after his speech in Metz on September 28, accompanied by emotional orchestral music. He stood, visibly pleased, and nodded. Applause has an old political language: the acclamation of rulers. Leo XIV readily accepts the ritual, in Metz as in the Vatican, several times a day. Pius XII did not invent papal applause, but helped normalize what earlier popes had often regarded with suspicion: the Pope as the object of prolonged public ovation.
He uses the fact that he spoke up in defense of life to wrap with it his heresy of fraternity of religions (aka One world religion). The devils poison is always sugarcoated

The involvement of children in paramilitary training has been on the rise in Ukraine since the 2014 Western-backed Euromaidan coup, with the process accelerating further in the wake of the full-blown conflict with Russia. The idea of lowering age thresholds for such training and, potentially, for active service has been repeatedly floated by various public figures. Moreover, boot camps for children have frequently been set up by openly neo-Nazi groups, with basic training going hand in hand with hateful indoctrination at such facilities.
God bless these honest men. "We lived in a beautiful peace with the Palestinian people for hundreds of years." Yes, and with Christians in the Middle East, as well. Now there is nothing but genocide going on. Christians have fled and there are hardly any Christians left.
