‘Miraculous Stories of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of Her Intercession’ From St Alphonsus De Liguori, ‘The Glories of Mary’; Examples 40-41, pages 19-20 [Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD: born: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/died: Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church] 40. A servant of Mary went one day to visit a church of our blessed Lady, without the knowledge of her husband, and she was prevented by a severe storm from returning that night to her own house. She felt a great fear lest her husband should be very angry with her ; but she recommended herself to Mary, and when she returned home, her husband was very kind and gracious to her. Upon questioning him, she found that the evening before, the heavenly mother had taken her form, and attended to all the little affairs of the household like a servant. She then related the …Mai
"41. A certain cavalier, of the city of Doul, in France, named Ansaldo, received in the battle a wound from an arrow, which entered so deep into the jaw-bone, that it was not possible to extract the iron. After four years of suffering, the afflicted man could endure the pain no longer, and being besides very ill, he thought he would again try to have the iron extracted. He [702] recommended himself to the blessed Virgin, and made a vow to visit every year a sacred image of her which was in that place, and make an offering of a certain sum of money upon her altar if she granted this request. He had no sooner made the vow than the iron, without being touched, fell into his mouth. The next day, ill as he was, he went to visit the image, and scarcely had he placed the promised gift upon the altar, when he felt himself entirely restored to health."
Venerable Augustus Tolton Overcame Hatred & Segregation with Radical Holiness: Bishop Joseph Perry "Born into slavery and denied entry into every American seminary, he answered hatred with radical patience and Christ-like charity." Bishop Joseph Perry joins CatholicTV to explore the inspiring path to sainthood for Venerable Augustus Tolton. How did a boy born into chattel slavery escape across the Mississippi River and rise above systemic prejudice to become the first publicly recognized Black Catholic priest in the United States? Bishop Joseph Perry, postulator for the cause of Fr. Augustus Tolton, sits down on This Is the Day to unpack the life, heroic virtues, and ongoing canonization cause of this pioneer of the American Catholic Church. Bishop Perry reflects on Tolton’s dramatic early life: escaping enslavement with his heroic mother, receiving tutoring from dedicated School Sisters of Notre Dame and Franciscan priests when public laws forbade educating African Americans, and facing …Mai
Father Benedict Barla, the principal of a Catholic middle school in the northeastern Indian state of Jharkand, was seriously injured during an October 21 attack.
Oslo Bishop Responds to FSSPX Consecrations: "I Will Expand the Roman Rite in the Diocese" Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo, Norway, issued a July 3 statement following the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He said the two consecrating bishops and the four newly consecrated bishops had removed themselves from ecclesial communion and unity with the Pope: “This is sad, painful, and calls us to prayer and penance.” He urged Catholics to pray the Rosary for the unity of the Church on the Feast of Saint Sunniva, July 8. Monsignor Hansen repeated Cardinal Tucho Fernández’s explanation that the consecrations were a schismatic act and that the priests “can no longer validly grant absolution in the sacrament of confession.” He also urged Catholics to refrain from attending FSSPX Masses and other activities. Addressing FSSPX faithful directly, he wrote: “I understand that these are difficult and distressing days for you. You may find yourselves pulled in …Mai
Priest from excommunicated sect says future pope will reverse Vatican move This whole excommunication things is appearing more and more to be one huge joke, I know no one taking this matter seriously. Where is Pope St Pius X when you need him?
Did the 12 Apostles have to put up with this Vatican bureaucracy tit a tat? No. Why? Because Christ our Savior was their be all and end all. I doubt there are 4 priests today who could believe and declare Jesus Christ as their be all and end. They are too fretted with their standing and how they appear to others instead of Christ. It is sickening.
It seems very interesting. I only listened to some of it. But too long for me. I might finish it up another time. I try to get those who use it to stop. And it's hard to get away from it. It's everywhere. I will never ask any of it any question. Never get into a conversation with evil it's said.
A Spanish bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV told a gathering of so-called “LGBT Christians” in Chipiona, Spain, “You have much to offer the Church,” adding, “at the same time, you can be enriched within it.”
Leo XIV-appointed Spanish Bishop José Antonio Satué sent a supportive message to the 15th gathering of homosexual Christians in Chipiona, Spain, on October 9–11: “You have much to contribute to the Church.” Leo XIV appointed Satué Bishop of Málaga in June 2025 despite his public record as homosexualist. Satué described homosex "blessings" as “a step forward”. The homosex gathering, organized by PADIS Canarias (Pastoral para la Diversidad Sexual en Canarias), attracted just over 100 participants. Monsignor Satué wrote them that everyone deserves to be heard, welcomed, and treated with dignity. He claimed that homosexuals suffered within the Church and urged that it not be trivialized. At the meeting, participants agreed to establish a nationwide network of homosexual Christian groups, extending into Portugal. They also intend to prepare a document outlining their proposals for bishops, possibly by the end of 2026. They called for pastoral ministry developed “with” homosexuals rather than …Mai

Still Chasing His Yalta. Here’s What He Doesn’t Get. nytimes.com/…/10/22/opinion/trump-ukraine-russia-… Oct. 22, 2026 By Michael Kimmage Mr. Kimmage, a historian of the Cold War, is an expert on U.S.-Russian relations. In February 1945, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin met at the Crimean city of Yalta to lay out the shape of postwar Europe. Yalta is typically used as a metaphor for appeasement or cynical realpolitik, and it is both. But it is also a metaphor for consequential diplomacy. The agreements made presaged a Europe separated into different zones, a state of affairs that lasted until the Central and Eastern European revolutions of 1989. President Trump has been searching for his Yalta in the war in Ukraine since the start of his second term. It’s easy to see why: It could be an appealingly simple, Trumpian transaction, in which the leaders of great powers sit down and determine a course, while minor powers must take what they are given. Like F.D.R., Mr …Mai
The Interview She’s Been to Gaza. She Met With the Iranians. Now She Has a Warning. nytimes.com/…26/10/10/magazine/mirjana-spoljaric-… By Lulu Garcia-Navarro Oct. 10, 2026 Are we already in the middle of a new world war without realizing it? That’s the provocative question I wanted to explore when I sat down with someone in the rare position to know: Mirjana Spoljaric, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The I.C.R.C. is a secretive organization that is not well known outside war zones. Unlike the American Red Cross, which deals with blood drives and American disaster relief, the I.C.R.C. is the independent and neutral guardian of the Geneva Conventions, a series of international agreements created in the wake of World War II that laid out the rules of war. In her role, Spoljaric travels to all sides of active war zones — Gaza, Ukraine, Iran — meeting with the heads of governments and armed groups alike. She rarely gives interviews because of the politically fraught …Mai
