In 1947, Italian nurse and postulant Pierina Gilli reported a series of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in Montichiari, Italy. In one, Gilli said Mary appeared with three swords piercing her heart, symbolizing the suffering and spiritual failures among priests and religious. In a later vision, the swords were replaced by three roses — white, red and yellow — representing prayer, sacrifice and penance. She reported another series of apparitions in 1966 in nearby Fontanelle. In July 2024, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith granted a nihil obstat to the devotion associated with Gilli’s experiences and messages, allowing it to be promoted publicly while stopping short of declaring the reported apparitions supernatural.

How One Man’s Quest for a Musketeer’s Bones Got Him Locked Up nytimes.com/…/europe/wim-dijkman-musketeer-bones-… A secret archaeological dig inside a Dutch church has led to drama worthy of Alexandre Dumas. Did Wim Dijkman really find the bones of the fourth musketeer? We may never know. By Jeanna Smialek Reporting from Maastricht, the Netherlands Published Sept. 13, 2026Updated Sept. 14, 2026 Leer en español Wim Dijkman was in Munich the first time I talked to him, in possibly illicit possession of three possibly ancient bones. The remains — two teeth, one humerus — may or may not belong to what is left of D’Artagnan, the French historical figure upon whom Alexandre Dumas based the main character in “The Three Musketeers.” They are part of a skeleton Mr. Dijkman and his friends unearthed in an old church near Maastricht, in the Netherlands, earlier this year. To the city’s dismay, they did so without permits, and largely in secret: Even church parishioners weren’t fully informed about …ଅଧିକ
Leo XIV wants to beatify controversial Aids-Priest Don Luigi. Leo XIV has opened the way towards the beatification of Luigi Di Liegro (1928–1997), a Roman priest who wanted to be close to people dying of AIDS. The pope made the announcement on Friday during the diocesan assembly in the Basilica of St John Lateran. He said he had “gladly approved” the steps necessary to begin the diocesan investigation into Di Liegro’s life, virtues and reputation for holiness. The most controversial episode of Di Liegro’s ministry came in 1988. As head of Caritas Rome, he insisted on opening a home for people with AIDS at Villa Glori in Parioli — an affluent Roman neighbourhood. It was the height of the AIDS panic. HIV was associated particularly with drug users and homosexuals. Residents protested. More than a thousand signatures were reportedly collected against the home. Rome temporarily delayed the opening; demonstrators marched against the project, while scouts, environmentalists and others organised …ଅଧିକ

Hl. Eustachius - Gedenktag: am 20. September Märtyrer, Nothelfer † 118 (?) in Rom Die Legende berichtet von Eustachius, der vor seiner Bekehrung Placidus hieß, dass er Jäger und Heermeister einer Legion in Kleinasien unter Kaiser Trajan war. Eines Tages erschien ihm bei der Jagd auf einer Felskuppe ein Hirsch, der zwischen seinem Geweih den Gekreuzigten in großem Strahlenglanz trug. Er stürzte vom Pferd und hörte die Worte: "Warum verfolgst du mich? Ich bin Christus, der den Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, ich ließ das Licht aufgehen und teilte die Finsternis." Die Erscheinung wiederholte sich anschließend auch seiner Frau in der Nacht. Christus erschien Placidus ein zweites Mal, Placidus ließ sich nun mit seiner Frau Theopistia und den Söhnen Agapius und Theopistus taufen, dabei erhielt Placidus den Namen Eustachius. Die Prüfung, die Christus ihm bei der zweiten Erscheinung vorausgesagt hatte, trat ein: Eine Seuche tötete alle Knechte und Mägde, alles Vieh und alle Rosse, Räuber …ଅଧିକ

Mitch McConnell Mystery Joanna Coles and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty discuss Mitch McConnell’s mysterious return to the Senate after 92 days away, the disturbing questions surrounding his health, and the obscure Senate rules that may be keeping his condition out of public view. They examine the growing cracks in the Republican Party as longtime conservatives turn against Donald Trump, from Karl Rove’s decision to back a Democrat in Texas to the political backlash over immigration enforcement in Florida and beyond. Plus, ICE’s leadership chaos, the fallout from Pete Hegseth’s tumultuous tenure at the Pentagon, and the growing influence of his wife, Jennifer, who has earned some very revealing nicknames inside the department. And as questions mount about Trump’s own health and the strange bulge spotted beneath his jacket, Joanna and Hugh take a closer look at the White House’s refusal to provide answers, the administration’s attacks on The Daily Beast, and what may be …ଅଧିକ
'The thing I find utterly strange is how embarrassed our church leaders are to even talk about Christianity.' Writer Andy Jones reacts to the Archbishop of Canterbury withdrawing an award given to an Islamic cleric who praised Osama bin Laden.
Protestantism leads to atheism, so said E Michael Jones, and I totally agree with him. He mentioned another religion, but I will leave that up to the reader.
In the spiritual life, we always desire to be closer to God and have more graces. In the secular world we are never satisfied as our passions control us.
Correct. Our Lady did not intervene for the Crusades to take over the Holy Land (with the Blessed Sacrament already present there). Rather she intervened to aid and protect the Crusaders from Muslim invaders (self defense).
The Quran was sung during the Novus Ordo for the opening of the academic year at the Catholic University of Leuven, a university with centuries-old roots in the Catholic tradition. They call this inclusivity.
