US Bishop attends smudging ceremony. On July 11, the Diocese of Raleigh hosted its first multicultural celebration honoring St. Kateri Tekakwitha - the first North American Indigenous saint - at Holy Cross Church. The gathering included discussions, music, and indigenous dances. Richard Duran, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe from Arizona, led a smudging ceremony, which the diocese described as sharing cleansing smoke “as an act of prayer and spiritual connection.” Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama was present and drew laughter when he said he would dance with his heart, not his body, because dancing to music can frustrate him. Smudging has nothing to do with St. Kateri. She left her indigenous community and moved to the Christian Mohawk community at Kahnawake, where she could freely live her Catholic faith.
The bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina participated over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion. Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy.
Leo XIV only reversed Francis' course on financial or administrative matters, not on matters much more important, such as liturgy or faith,' said Diane Montagna at the CIC.
Leo XIV “largely continues the post-conciliar revolution,” Edward Pentin said October 3 at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh. “Pope Leo… is very much a continuity figure, continuing the post-conciliar course mapped out by Pope Francis,” Pentin said. While Leo has “changed the tone for the better,” his improvements remain “largely symbolic and small scale.” Pentin said he has “often heard in recent months in Rome” that many around Leo “helped him get elected precisely so he might continue the revolution.” On Leo XIV’s emphasis on unity, Pentin said the pontificate has avoided many “neuralgic issues” by “essentially not talking about them.” He added that “what is unacceptable among the Church’s leadership is fidelity to the Church’s doctrine and tradition”. Pentin said some call Leo XIV’s priority a “false peace and false unity,” and cited two anonymous Roman priests warning against unity through silence about error.

The Vigilant Fox @VigilantFox Joe Rogan and Andrew Huberman look up how many Americans die from medical error each year, and the answer floors them both. ROGAN: “Okay, so medical error is responsible for 251,000 deaths a year.” HUBERMAN: “Whoa, that’s crazy.” ROGAN: “Do you understand how insane that is? Imagine if that was Pop-Tarts.” That number comes from a 2016 Johns Hopkins study published in the BMJ. It estimated medical errors kill 251,454 Americans a year, which makes them the third leading cause of death, behind only heart disease and cancer. And it gets worse. A 2023 Johns Hopkins and Harvard study found that misdiagnosis alone kills an estimated 371,000 Americans a year and leaves another 424,000 permanently disabled. If an airline killed that many people, nobody would ever board a plane again.

@maria divine mercy And everyone else who believes in this fake seer, should read this well.
It's amazing Catholics are still following this fraud. Maria Divine Mercy was exposed in 2015 as Irish businesswoman Mary Carberry, who made millions of dollars in profits on her so-called visions of Jesus and Mary.
“In those years,” says satan, “I will make many revelations. (I.e.,False revelations through apparitions that are actually demonic.) It will be impossible to expose my language. I will imitate all too well the words of Christ and His revelations. By loading these souls, I want a lot of pious priests to be lost, to mislead them deeply into all these things. I also want to lose many souls (the same way) who are not priests. (Other religious and the laity.) If I can not lose these souls, I will (make them) lose their reputation at least, I will make them charges of heavy slander, I will make them denounce up to the point of counsels of human laws.” A possible interpretation of this text: in the years when satan creates great confusion in the Church, he will cause many false apparitions to occur to mislead even the zealous and faithful with high sounding mysteries. It will be difficult to tell the difference between a false message from the true ones as satan will mimic how Our Lord and …Bivule
many of her prophecies came to fruition And many have not. 1. They take our very own prophecies and use them against us. Most of the time with a twist of their own beliefs. 2. It is said, most do it for money, fame and attention. 3. Some "maybe" mentally ill. This is what Priests have said and come to the conclusion. Which I already knew and saw many years before any Priest started to warn us against them. If I can see those things, I wonder all the time why others haven't. It doesn't seem good in the end that they easily fall for such lies from such people. You will do what you want. Whether it is to keep going off on our Religious, or following these fake seers. There is nothing I can do for such stubbornness and pride in a person. Not just you but for all who refuse to listen, read and learn. We have a lot of bad religious. Both men and women.

Argentine bishop, a Synod Father, punished after canonical judicial process over allegations of abuse. Auxiliary Bishop Ricardo Seirutti, 70, of Córdoba, Argentina, has been punished by the Church following a canonical judicial process concerning complaints from two adults over conduct officially described as “improper to his episcopal ministry.” Monsignor Seirutti also served as vicar general of the Archdiocese of Córdoba. Pope Francis appointed him auxiliary bishop in 2015. In 2018, he participated as a voting Synod Father in the Synod of Bishops on Young People. He represented the Argentine episcopate. According to the Archdiocese of Córdoba, complaints from two adults led the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith to order a canonical judicial process before the Interdiocesan Tribunal of Buenos Aires. The proceedings concluded in recent weeks with sanctions against Bishop Seirutti. He has been deprived of his offices as auxiliary bishop and vicar general. For five years, he is …Bivule

I have already spoken of the devotion of the ancient Jewish Church to the souls of the departed. But perhaps you arc not aware that the Jews retain to this day, in their Litany, the pious practice of praying for the dead. Yet such in reality is the case. Amid all their wanderings and vicissitudes of life, though dismembered and dispersed, like sheep without a shepherd, over the surface of the globe, the children of Israel have never forgotten or neglected the sacred duty of praying for their deceased brethren. Unwilling to make this assertion without the strongest evidence, I procured from a Jewish convert an authorized Prayer-book of the Hebrew Church, from which I extract the …Bivule
Andrew, can you tell me which of your posts has GOD and Our Lord warning us about us about the scandals of our Religious and how we must avoid them? I can't find them in my folders that I saved. I don't wish for you to dig through your posts. Only if you know which ones I am referring to. Please! Don't go out of your way. Maybe which Saint revealed what was said. Or the title of your posts maybe? But please don't go out of your way.
"Unwilling to make this assertion without the strongest evidence, I procured from a Jewish convert an authorized Prayer-book of the Hebrew Church, from which I extract the following formula of prayers which are prescribed for funerals : " Departed brother ! mayest thou find open the gates of heaven, and see the city of peace and the dwellings of safety, and meet the ministering angels hastening joyfully towards thee! And may the High Priest stand to receive thee, and go thou to the end, rest in peace, and rise again into life ! May the repose established in the celestial abode ..."
The last letter from Fr Gruner April 30, 2015 Message from Fr. Gabriel Amorth to Fr. Nicholas Gruner Father Gruner's Newsletter - March 12, 2015 (Feast of Saint Gregory the Great) I recently returned from Rome, where I went to attend the February installation of the new cardinals. But while I was there something unexpected happened, something soul-shaking that I did not expect! I spoke with Father Gabriel Amorth, the world's most famous living exorcist. His words shook me as few things ever have! Father Amorth told me that we have but a Short-Time left before the chastisements predicted by Our Lady of Fatima begin to rip our world apart in ways we can hardly imagine! How Long? Less Than 8 Months! Father Gabriel Amorth told me that unless the consecration of Russia is performed as our Lady had asked that by the end of October 2015, the dark prophecies of Fatima may well come to pass any day after that! Why did Father Gabriel Amorth tell this to me? So that Our Lady's Apostolate will raise …Bivule
Bishop Corrado Sanguineti of Pavia is the frontrunner to become the next Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica - succeeding Cardinal Mauro Gambetti. Writing for IlGiornale.it, Nico Spuntoni says Bishop Sanguineti is now in “pole position” for the post following Gambetti’s departure. Other names floated in recent weeks include former papal master of ceremonies Archbishop Guido Marini, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of the Basilica of St Mary Major. Leo XIV knew Sanguineti before his election to the papacy through Pavia, home to the tomb of St Augustine. The two celebrated a Eucharist together there in February 2024. Sanguineti was also received by Leo XIV in a private audience at the Vatican in early September.

A Treasure Chest of Inspiration Three years ago, The Cenacle Press at Silverstream Priory, republished an incredible book from 1942 titled “Just For Today.” It is a compilation of 365 daily quotations from Saint Therese, matched with excerpts from The Imitation of Christ (which she had thoroughly memorized as a young girl.) The author/compiler is listed as a Benedictine of Stanbrook, Worcester. And, as the Introduction by The Right Reverend Monsignor Ronald Knox says, it is like a string of pearls pulled out of two treasure chests, perfectly matched. Since October 3rd is St Therese’s traditional feast day, I though I should recommend “Just For Today” to the Gloria.tv members. Like many others, I’ve read through The Imitation many times, but the presentation in this book is done with such inspiration, that I find precious gems from The Imitation that I had completely over-looked before. Truly, the most “converting” biography of St. Therese was written by Rev. Canon Thomas N. Taylor;…Bivule

Argentine Father Carlos Miguel Buela, who died in 2023, had long been under suspicion of alleged sexual abuse of seminarians.
Vatican: late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela responsible for homosexual offences. The Vatican has publicly addressed the long-running case of Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE). The case began formally in May 2020, when Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló established a Special Penal Tribunal to examine allegations against Buela. After hearing the accused, his lawyer and numerous witnesses, the tribunal issued its judgment on 20 July 2021. It found that Buela had committed offences against the sixth commandment in relation to five male members of the Institute. Buela appealed. A Special Penal Tribunal of Appeal was subsequently constituted and conducted additional investigations, including further testimony from Buela and witnesses proposed by his defence. On 30 March 2023, the appellate judges deliberated and voted to confirm the first tribunal’s finding concerning the five cases. Before the appellate judgment could be formally drafted …Bivule
Plato ~ When a fool gains power, the first thing he does is silence the wise. The next thing he does is gather other fools around him. The final thing he does is destroy the nation.
Advocate General Laila Medina at the European Court of Justice has issued an opinion in a Belgian case that could have wider implications across the EU for how churches handle requests to erase baptismal records under the GDPR. She concluded that everyone has “in principle, the right to have his or her personal data erased from the baptismal register where the controller fails to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject.”
