On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Umberto Longo, Director of the Italian Historical Institute for the Middle Ages in Rome and Professor of Medieval History at the secular Sapienza University of Rome, as a member of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. The online footprint of Umberto Longo repeatedly places that name - and, in later cases, an identifiable Professor Longo - within the institutional environment of Italian Freemasonry and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The examples span a decade. 2013 - Scottish Rite, Lazio: The Masonic publication LOGOS identifies a certain “Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°” as an officer of the Loggia di Perfezione Maestri Segreti “Giano” in Rome. The publication introduces a series of texts under the heading: “Le Tavole del Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°.” The abbreviation Fr. is used throughout for Fratello - “Brother” - while the number identifies the Scottish Rite degree. More importantly, the issue contains the official 2013 officers …Ibindi
1) Ezekiel 9:4; Yahweh said to him, “Go through the city, through Jerusalem, and mark with a CROSS the foreheads of the people who groan and lament over all the abominations committed within it.” 2) Ezekiel 9:5–6; And I heard Him say to the others, “Go through the city after him and strike. Show no mercy; spare no one—kill the old, the young, the virgins, the children, and the women—until not a single one remains. But do not touch anyone who has the CROSS on his forehead. 3) Revelation 7:2-3; Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, and he had the Seal of the Living God; and he cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given authority to harm the earth and the sea: “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4) Revelation 9:1-4; The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the heaven to the earth.

PIECZĘĆ Żywego Boga (Objawienie 7:2-3). „Pan zna tych, którzy są Jego” (2 List do Tymoteusza 2:19) 1) Ezechiel 9:4; Jahwe rzekł do niego: „Przejdź przez miasto, przez Jerozolimę, i naznacz KRZYŻEM czoła ludzi, którzy jęczą i lamentują nad wszystkimi obrzydliwościami popełnionymi w nim”. 2) Ezechiel 9:5–6; I usłyszałem, jak rzekł do pozostałych: „Przejdźcie za nim przez miasto i zabijajcie. Nie okazujcie litości, nie oszczędzajcie nikogo – zabijajcie starych, młodych, dziewice, dzieci i kobiety – aż nie pozostanie ani jeden. Ale nie dotykajcie nikogo, kto ma KRZYŻ na czole”. 3) Objawienie 7:2–3; Potem ujrzałem innego anioła, który przybywał ze wschodu, a miał Pieczęć Boga Żywego; i zawołał donośnym głosem do czterech aniołów, którym dano władzę, by wyrządzali krzywdę ziemi i morzu: „Nie wyrządzajcie krzywdy ziemi, morzu ani drzewom, dopóki nie opieczętujemy czoła sług naszego Boga”. 4) Objawienie 9:1-4; Piąty anioł zadął w trąbę, a ja ujrzałem gwiazdę, która spadła z nieba na ziemię. …Ibindi
The Archdiocese of Utrecht has rejected as false rumours that Cardinal Willem Eijk, 73, could have asked Pope Leo XIV during an audience on Monday to accept his early resignation as Archbishop. “These reports are false. He has not offered his resignation,” the archdiocese told the Dutch newspaper Katholiek Nieuwsblad on Wednesday. An archdiocesan spokesman added that there was no basis for such speculation. The audience attracted attention because Eijk has experienced health problems in recent months and didn't attend the consistories in January and June. The archdiocese also provided an update on the cardinal’s health. “It is known that Cardinal Eijk struggled with health problems last winter,” the spokesman said. His recovery had taken longer than initially hoped, but was now progressing well. According to the archdiocese, Eijk is expected to resume his duties fully on September 1. #newsKxqihmxlwe
Life in the Making It all begins in silence: one cell meets another, and in an instant, a new, unique, and unrepeatable life emerges. The imagery unfolds ceaselessly—division, form, heartbeat—until there is no longer any doubt about what we are seeing: not a mass of tissue, but a tiny body, joined to its mother by a cord that serves as both bridge and lifeline. Hands reaching out, legs curled up, a face settling into sleep just as any human being does. And therein lies the wrenching realization: that very being—already capable of movement, sensation, and resembling us—is the one whose life is chosen to be ended in a late-term abortion. It is not an abstract cell that is being stopped; it is a story that already possessed form, expression, and a heartbeat of its own. That is why those who defend life from conception describe such a decision—particularly in the later stages—as an act of special cruelty: because the biological development itself, revealed without filters, leaves little room …Ibindi
Vida en construcción Todo empieza en silencio: una célula se encuentra con otra y, en un instante, surge una vida nueva, única, irrepetible. La imagen avanza sin pausa —división, forma, latido— hasta que ya no queda duda de lo que estamos viendo: no una masa de tejido, sino un cuerpo pequeño, unido a su madre por un cordón que es puente y sustento a la vez. Manos que se buscan, piernas recogidas, un rostro que empieza a dormir como duerme cualquier ser humano. Y ahí está el desgarro: ese mismo ser, capaz ya de moverse, de sentir, de parecerse a nosotros, es el que en un aborto a término se decide interrumpir. No es una célula abstracta lo que se detiene: es una historia que ya tenía forma, gesto, latido propio. Por eso quienes defienden la vida desde la concepción llaman a esa decisión, en sus etapas más avanzadas, un acto especialmente cruel: porque el propio desarrollo biológico, mostrado sin filtros, deja poco espacio para la indiferencia. Quien defiende el valor de la vida desde la …Ibindi
Biblical Cosmology: The Earth Is a Stationary Plane Beneath the Celestial Vault - The Bible makes no mention of outer space or the trillions upon trillions of other planets that modern astronomers claim exist. Nor does it mention a Big Bang beginning or the force of gravity that keeps people and oceans attached to all sides of a rotating sphere. The cosmology described in the Bible is clearly geocentric, fixed, and motionless, with a flat Earth. Source:youtube.com/watch?v=mkDfxFR5gwg
Pick your favorite travel website, like Travelocity. Create two flight plans circumnavigating the earth. One above the equator and the other below the equator. If the earth was flat, the flight below the equator should be about 3 times longer "near the ice wall" than "near the flat earth center". You will find that they are nearly the same.
Today, Leo XIV sent a prerecorded video message to the 70th-anniversary assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando. LCWR is the largest association of leaders of Catholic women religious in the United States. Its members are generally the superiors of congregations of sisters. The video was shown to an overwhelmingly elderly gathering, with scarcely a religious habit or young face in sight. Religious to Become “Experts in Synodality” Leo XIV said that all Christians are called to be “formed in a synodal Church”. He continued: “In a special way, those in religious life are called to become experts in synodality due to the opportunities afforded by community life to practice it.” Then, he praised the assembly's planned “synodal method of listening, discussion and discernment,” expressing the hope that through such “fraternal and receptive dialogue” the sisters would be able to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying” about “the present and future of consecrated …Ibindi
Not Disturbing the Political Powers Behind France’s Euthanasia Law? Bishop Emeritus Dominique Rey told TribuneChrétienne.com of his one regret about Leo XIV’s September 25–28 visit to France: the Pope’s “very busy program” leaves no time to visit people at the end of life or palliative care units. Yet Leo XIV’s schedule includes several other meetings, including one with survivors of clergy sexual abuse. Meanwhile, France is close to legalizing euthanasia.

“Globalism has already failed to meet the needs of the people. It serves only the financial elite,” Marian Eleganti, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Chur, told LaNuovaBq on August 13. On Muslim immigration, he said: “Personally, I am convinced that Islam cannot be integrated into our political systems shaped by Christianity. There is no apolitical Islam, consisting purely of an interior religious life. It is a system of domination. The more convinced its followers are of this, the less integrable it is. The result is parallel societies.” He also criticized the Church’s approach to unlimited immigration: “The Catholic Church should not adopt an idealistic approach… [that] ignores the very real social problems associated with unlimited immigration.”
Worse than Germany: Cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi of Tokyo has welcomed the Japanese government's plan to promote "understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity", which was approved on 16 June. The plan involves education and "awareness initiatives" in government, schools, and workplaces, as well as measures to combat "discrimination" against homosexuals. In an interview with UcaNews.com on June 17, Cardinal Kikuchi described the government’s decision as “meaningful”, stating that it had clearly articulated a policy intended to foster a "deeper understanding of sexual minorities". And: "An inclusive community that welcomes everyone is not just an attitude; it is the first step towards building the world that God calls us to create." The cardinal's latest remarks are consistent with his longstanding homosex activism. Tokyo Archdiocese has organised monthly homosexual Eucharists. In 2023, he contributed to the book LGBT and Christianity, promoted by the 'Catholic HIV/AIDS Desk'. …Ibindi
Forget the East Wing. The Real Demolition Has Only Just Begun. Aug. 9, 2026 nytimes.com/…rump-washington-landmarks-arch-pool-… By Paul Goldberger Mr. Goldberger is a former architecture critic for The Times and The New Yorker and the author of “Why Architecture Matters.” The proposed “Arc de Trump” in Washington is less a monument than a gaudy construction the height of a skyscraper — a travesty that, if built, would dramatically change the landscape of the nation’s capital. This is probably why President Trump is so eager to get it made as fast as he can. It would be an unavoidable monument to a presidency and a man whom many Americans would rather not honor so conspicuously, if at all. He understands that once it is there, it will be hard for anyone to make it go away. Change is supposed to happen slowly and carefully in Washington, and there are systems in place to make that so. When the National Park Service said last week that the arch would not only block the vista between the …Ibindi
The Diocese of Providence in Rhode Island is holding a series of “Listening Sessions” for homosexuals and their friends at four parishes. According to the diocesan website, Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, 59, is presiding at each gathering, which includes the celebration of the Eucharist, small-group sharing, and a community dinner. The diocesan announcement opens with Pope Francis' notorious words, “Todos, Todos, Todos” (“Everyone, Everyone, Everyone”). LepantoIn.org asked the diocese whether confession would be available and whether participants would be invited to repentance and conversion in accordance with Catholic teaching. Instead of answering those questions, the diocesan communications director replied only: “As the diocesan bishop, Bishop Lewandowski has the pastoral responsibility to know and understand the spiritual needs of all the souls entrusted to his care.” Picture: LepantoIn.org, #newsVedmnhuvak
Book of Ezekiel 12,1-12. Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, you live in the midst of a rebellious house; they have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house. Now, son of man, during the day while they are looking on, prepare your baggage as though for exile, and again while they are looking on, migrate from where you live to another place; perhaps they will see that they are a rebellious house. You shall bring out your baggage like an exile in the daytime while they are looking on; in the evening, again while they are looking on, you shall go out like one of those driven into exile; while they look on, dig a hole in the wall and pass through it; while they look on, shoulder the burden and set out in the darkness; cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel. I did as I was told. During the day I brought out my baggage as though it were that of an exile, and at evening …Ibindi
Buch Ezechiel 12,1-12. Das Wort des Herrn erging an mich: Menschensohn, du wohnst mitten unter einem widerspenstigen Volk, das Augen hat, um zu sehen, und doch nicht sieht, das Ohren hat, um zu hören, und doch nicht hört; denn sie sind ein widerspenstiges Volk. Du, Menschensohn, pack deine Sachen, als würdest du verschleppt, und geh am hellen Tag vor ihren Augen weg, als ob du vor ihren Augen von deinem Wohnsitz an einen andern verschleppt würdest. Vielleicht sehen sie es; aber sie sind ja ein widerspenstiges Volk. Trag dein Gepäck bei Tag vor ihren Augen hinaus, wie ein Mann, der verschleppt wird. Am Abend aber geh selbst vor ihren Augen hinaus, wie die Leute, die in die Verbannung ziehen. Brich dir vor ihren Augen ein Loch in die Wand, und kriech hindurch! Vor ihren Augen nimm das Gepäck auf die Schulter! Bring es in der Dunkelheit weg! Verhülle dein Gesicht, damit du das Land nicht mehr siehst. Denn ich habe dich zum Mahnzeichen für das Haus Israel gemacht. Ich tat, was mir befohlen …Ibindi
