The Holy Emperor... July 13 - Memorial of Saint Henry Dear brothers and sisters, Henry II is the patron saint of kings. Son of the Duke of Bavaria, he was born in 973 near Bamberg and grew up in a deeply Christian environment. In fact, he was educated first by the canons of Hildesheim and then by the Bishop of Regensburg, St. Wolfgang. The deep faith lived in his family can also be seen in the choices made by his brother Bruno, who renounced court life to become Bishop of Augsburg; his older sister Gisela, who married a future saint, King Stephen of Hungary; and his younger sister Bridget, who became a nun. Henry II succeeded his father as Duke of Bavaria in 995, and then his cousin Otto III as King of Germany in 1002. In 1004, he also became King of Italy. He was finally crowned emperor in Rome in 1014 by Pope Benedict VII, to lead the Holy Roman Empire. Henry committed himself to strengthening the Empire internally and defending it from external threats. He made mistakes, one of which …More
LGBT-identifying 'Catholics' march in Rome Pride … Unrepentant homosexuals who rebel against God and Catholic morality march in the Rome Pride Parade to promote the sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance LGBTQ+ ‘Catholics’ March in Rome Pride Parade Saint Bernardine of Siena : — He who lived with this vice of sodomy suffers more than another, for this is the greatest sin." Revelation 22:15 New Catholic Bible 15 Others must remain outside: the dogs,[a] the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices deceit. Footnotes Revelation 22:15 Dogs: when the term was applied to people it referred to all types of ceremonially unclean persons and also to people of low moral character: e.g., male prostitutes (Deut 23:18) and unfaithful leaders (Isa 56:10).
“We’ve had ten deals with these people, and so we’re just going to hit them very hard,” Trump claimed, adding that the US is going to “guard” Hormuz and going to get paid “a lot of money.” Yes! And each deal he hit them during those talks and right after. And going to get paid a lot of money? His greed is as bad as his lying and pride. This is why GOD keeps humiliating him.
French dioceses face a worsening vocation crisis, despite claims of improvement in seminary recruitment, Laurent Dastros writes on July 9 on Substack.com. Dastros notes that, as of 2026, three French dioceses - Aire-et-Dax, Le Puy-en-Velay, and Le Havre - have gone between 12 and 14 years without a diocesan priestly ordination. Carcassonne et Narbonne ended a 19-year gap in 2025 with the ordination of a 51-year-old candidate. Annecy and Rodez could join this list next year if they continue without new ordinations. Longer-Term Picture Dastros calculates that between 2011 and 2026, only three dioceses recorded a single diocesan priestly ordination: Carcassonne et Narbonne, Rodez et Vabres, and Pamiers, Couserans et Mirepoix. Based on the assumption that priests remain in active ministry for approximately 50 years, he estimates that, if current trends continue, each of these dioceses could eventually have only about three native diocesan priests. He further identifies seven dioceses that …More
The newly appointed Bishop Christian Würtz of Eichstätt, Germany, expects further debate over priestly celibacy, he told Br.de on July 12. On Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV appointed him from auxiliary bishop of Freiburg to the diocesan bishop of Eichstätt. During Germany's Synodal Way in 2022, he voted in favour of "blessings" for homosexual concubines and the "ordination" of women-clergy. When asked about his predecessor, Msgr. Gregor Maria Hanke, who voted against those Synodal Way documents, Bishop Würtz said: "I think it goes too far to conclude from that that there are fundamental differences between him and me." He described the different beliefs as "factional disputes." Instead, he said, the focus should be on "what unites us": "That is also an important aspect of synodality - listening to one another, walking together, and learning from one another." When it came to the topic of priestly celibacy, Bishop Würtz said: "This will certainly be a question that continues to occupy us in the …More

while warping their economy and social fabric Israel has monopolized trade in the West Bank and Gaza, profiting from the very people it is methodically exterminating. In Gaza, the Israeli military prioritizes the entry of commercial goods from Israel over international aid, according to an Al Jazeera investigation Israel's largest exporter of fresh produce, Mehadrin, sold $20 million worth of products to Gaza in the first quarter of 2026. Palestinian markets have been overtaken by Israeli goods. Israeli companies reportedly make nearly $6 billion a year in the West Bank alone At the end of 2025, Israel's Tax Authority limited sales to Gaza to large suppliers and retailers, effectively placing the trade in the hands of about 10 biggest Israeli distributors, Israeli publication Haaretz reports Palestinian firms based in the Strip are not granted the security clearances necessary for trade. Palestinian producers in the occupied West Bank are simply banned from selling products to …More

Electroverse @Electroversenet Svalbard, a remote Arctic archipelago, holds inconvenient secrets about our climate history. A new study reveals it was up to 9C warmer around 10,000 years ago when CO2 was just 260 parts per million. Despite this warmth, glaciers didn't vanish. They survived, supported by increased snowfall. Svalbard then cooled for the next 8,000 years while CO2 kept rising. No tipping points, no runaway melt. Yet today's climate models project the same 8 to 9C of warming by the year 2100 (using the discredited RCP8.5 scenario), and predict widespread glacier loss. That directly contradicts the historical record. Even the study's authors admit the future may follow the past. Warmer, wetter conditions could bring more snowfall, stabilizing or even growing glaciers. The fatal flaw in climate modeling has raised its ugly head once again. It can't replicate history. And when the past contradicts your theory, it's the theory that's broken, not the past.
