After destroying the town church, the Israeli occupation forces demolished the historic nun’s monastery and school in Yaroun, southern Lebanon despite the local Christians calls to preserve their heritage. Is this also an isolated incident?
Elon Musk acknowledging a "Creator" is NBFD. ALL thinking people acknowledge a "primary cause", and labelling that "primary cause" as "Creator" is both palatable and readily digestible to the masses.
Three Primordial Constants = The Φ–π–e Trinity Mirrors the Divine Trinity: Father (Form) Son (Process) Spirit (Harmony between these two) Mathematics reflects theology because both reflect divine mind.
Jesus didn’t come from within our system. He stepped into it. Born into time, but not bound by it. Fully human, yet fully God. Every other religious system begins with humanity reaching upward - trying to understand God, please God, or become like God through effort, discipline, or enlightenment. But the message of the Gospel is fundamentally different: God came down. Not as an idea or philosophy, but as a person who entered history, experienced hunger, fatigue, temptation, and suffering - yet without sin. This is the Incarnation: God becoming human, walking through our reality, and living under the same physical limits we do - feeling the same pressures of living in our broken world. Because of this, Christ offers understanding, representation, and redemption from within the human experience itself. Yet, death didn't hold Jesus. Sin didn't corrupt Him. Where every other human story ends in limitation, He broke through it. His resurrection wasn't just a miracle - it was a declaration …More
"My research began in 2022 with an investigation into Russian intelligence active measures targeting the American right. This focus quickly expanded into multiple additional lines of research. The first examined the continuity of Soviet-era intelligence operations into post-Soviet Russia and the activities of prominent former Communists and KGB officers in the post-Soviet era. From there, I began researching domestic communist and radical leftist groups and their ties to foreign governments.
Quick interesting chart of Russian disinformation agents.

First of all, I believe that the Novus Ordo Mass is a valid Mass. But also, in my personal opinion, it is insufficient. What do I mean by insufficient? It lacks some of the elements that mark it as our HIGHEST form of worship. Not because it is less elaborate in external elements. Not because it is not in Latin. But because it was stripped down in its prayers. Those prayers and psalms that are embedded into the rubrics themselves, most of them are gone. Now, this isn’t about whether the new Mass is valid or not. I’ve already said it is. That’s not the issue. The point here is that there’s an objective weakening in the new Mass that affects the doctrinal clarity of its sacrificial nature. And honestly, this ties into a bigger problem. Our society right now tends to oversimplify everything. But when you start simplifying the way we worship, it doesn’t just stay there, it starts to shape and weaken how we believe. Now my question is this: why did the reformers do it? If their only reason …More
The same case could be made for the 1962 Missal which saw over 100 changes from its predecessor. Nothing good has come or will ever cone from us whining about something that only the Vatican has control over.
**Faith Without Submission Is Dead: A Catholic Wake-Up Call to the “Traditionalists” Who Resist the Pope or Deny He Exists. St. James could not have been clearer: “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead” (James 2:26). The inspired word of God does not say “faith apart from feelings is dead,” or “faith apart from private judgment is dead,” or “faith apart from whatever you personally decide is ‘traditional’ is dead.” It says faith without *works*—concrete, visible acts of submission to God’s will—is a corpse. And nowhere does the Catholic faith demand a more concrete work than this: submission to the visible head Christ appointed for His Church. Vatican I did not issue a pious suggestion. In the dogmatic constitution *Pastor Aeternus*, the Council solemnly defined, with the full weight of an ecumenical council under the Holy Spirit’s protection, that the Roman Pontiff possesses “primacy of jurisdiction over the whole Church of God.” Full …More
You do not address the question of whether the man sitting as Peter is in fact Peter. You presume that he is, and hence then, is your case not circular? You have yet to address the meaningful challenge that there is an antipope in the See of Peter, and one does not owe obedience to an imposter. You never answered the question: if the man sitting as Peter told you to honor a demon with a sacrifice on the Altar of God during Mass, are you required to do it? Doesn't making the request by definition exclude the man from being the Supreme Pontiff? Please don't hide behind ignorance of the event pictured; one who is unaware of this is hardly in a position to instruct others in such a weighty matter.
Is this wake up call for St Paul as well??? He tells us "But when Cephas (St Peter) was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed." (Gal 2:11). He also says: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." (Gal 1:8). Maybe St Paul didn't realize that the Roman Pontiff has primacy of jurisdiction over the entire Church? or maybe he didn't realize that faith without works is dead? ... or maybe he knew that one can acknowledge someone's authority, and yet refuse to obey their illegitimate commands!
