1) How fierce is the spiritual battle? a) Daniel 10:13-14 "The prince of the kingdom of Persia has been resisting me for twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to my assistance. I have left him confronting the kings of Persia and have come to tell you what will happen to your people in the days to come”. b) 1 Corinthians 15:30–32; Why do we put ourselves in danger all the time? Every day I face death—yes, brothers and sisters! My glory lies in Christ Jesus our Lord, for every day I face the danger of death. I fought against the beasts in Ephesus for the sake of humanity. c) Acts 19:13-16 “Some itinerant Jewish exorcists also tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, ‘I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.’ There were seven sons of a certain Jewish high priest named Sceva who did this. But the evil spirit answered them, ‘I know Jesus, and I know who Paul is, but who are you?’ And the man possessed by the evil spirit …Gehiago
Today in his meeting with civil authorities and the diplomatic corps in Spain, Leo XIV portrayed the oppressive Islamic occupation of Spain (711-1492) as place of confrontation, but also of dialogue and encounter between religions: “The presence of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, for example, constituted a long-standing political, cultural, and religious reality. During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews. At the School of Translators enhanced by Alfonso X (the Wise), experts from all three religions collaborated on translating the texts of the rich Arabic, Greek and Hebrew heritage, contributing to the dissemination of texts such as those of the philosophers Averroes (1126-1198) and Maimonides (1138-1204), among others. The cities of Córdoba and Toledo, in particular, became centers of dialogue between languages, religions and knowledge. …Gehiago

Although researchers claim that the UPA employed over 650 different methods of brutal murder against its Polish victims, I will present “only” 362 of them, which are listed on wmeritum.pl.Source. The Volhynia massacre clearly falls under the definition of genocide. This article will feature dramatic photos documenting the Volhynia massacre. On October 14, 1942, one of the bloodiest and most horrific terrorist organizations in world history was formed—the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army). The UPA was formed under the full patronage of the Germans from scattered bands of OUN members, police officers, and camp guards. In this matter, Bandera was one step ahead of his main rival—Andriy Melnyk—and so the Germans entrusted him with founding the UPA. The motto of Bandera’s terrorists quickly became a slogan: “You must have blood on your knees to liberate Ukraine.” “A Wreath of Children.” Anonymous photographer. Public …
Virginia’s Department of Health is recommending infants ages 6 to 11 months receive a MMR vaccine — earlier than the age recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Doctors and other vaccine experts told The Defender that Virginia’s guidance is “reckless” and “not grounded in science.” The state’s recommendations also include an accelerated measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination schedule, advising that infants get the second dose in the two-dose MMR series 28 days after the first. Virginia’s recommendation comes in response to a recent measles outbreak in Buckingham County, which as of Tuesday had reached 54 cases. The state’s MMR vaccine guidance was included in a May 13 letter from Virginia State Health Commissioner Cameron Webb. The recommendations call for infants ages 6 to 11 months to “get an early dose of the MMR vaccine,” and two more doses at the AAP’s recommended ages, at least 28 days apart. …
Same as Germany: Archbishop John Wester of of Santa Fe, USA, recently attended a meeting in Racine, Wisconsin, organized by the homosexual group New Ways Ministry. He wrote about this on AmericaMagazine.org on June 2. The meeting deepened his “pastoral concern, understanding and right judgment” about homosexuals. “As a Church, I fear we are not drawing near enough to our L.G.B.T.Q. brothers and sisters; we are not moving forward together on the same journey.” Archbishop Wester calls this “especially true when it comes to the experiences of our transgender and nonbinary people, many of whom feel we approach them with suspicion and hostility”. The sins by these people are for Archbishop Wester “deeply complex and personal human journeys”. His time in Racine was “an opportunity to gain a deeper, more empathetic view about transgender people”. The Archbishop started believing that “gender is determined by specialized areas within the brain” and compares sexual distortion to being left …Gehiago

Ice Age Farmer @iceagefarmer Mercuria shipping head says fuel shortages could idle 10% of global fleet This would trigger immediate and severe breakdowns in global supply chains, as container ships, tankers, and bulk carriers sit idle, halting the movement of food, fertilizer, fuel, and critical imports that modern economies depend on. "The shipping sector is fast approaching afuel crisis that could paralyze a tenth of the global fleet, Larry Johnson, global head of freight at commodities trading house Mercuria, said in an interview. Since the Middle East war erupted, markets have been preoccupied with potential shortfalls in the diesel and jet fuel traditionally exported in large quantities from the Persian Gulf. However, as refiners strain to capture soaring clean product cracks, residual fuels have suffered. Increasingly,feedstocks have been held back from the marine fuel market to kept for further processing, leaving the shipping sector at risk of crippling shortages, Johnson said. …Gehiago
Cardinal Robert Sarah spoke with LaNef.net (May 5) about Pope Francis, the return of paganism within the Church, Vatican II, and the decline of the West. Main points. On Francis' Pontificate - "Loving the pope does not mean suspending all critical intelligence." - "It would be unjust to attribute to one man alone a crisis that largely preceded him." - "We must recognize that an era can leave wounds of confusion." Paganism within the Church - "Paganism is not merely the worship of visible idols; it is also the loss of the spirit of adoration." - "When God is no longer first—even within the Church—everything else is distorted." - "When faith is reduced to sociological language, liturgy to entertainment, morality to endless negotiation, and the Church to an institution that must adapt itself to the desires of the age, then something of paganism returns." - "The world does not expect the Church to repeat its own words; it expects the Church to open heaven to it." - "Susceptibility to the …Gehiago
" Paganism is not merely the worship of visible idols; it is also the loss of the spirit of adoration" --- At the same time H.E. Sarah wants people to adhere to the religion declaring that in paganism: "men contemplate the divine mystery and express it through an inexhaustible abundance of myths and through searching philosophical inquiry. They seek freedom from the anguish of our human condition either through ascetical practices or profound meditation or a flight to God with love and trust" or that paganism "in its various forms, realizes the radical insufficiency of this changeable world; it teaches a way by which men, in a devout and confident spirit, may be able either to acquire the state of perfect liberation, or attain, by their own efforts or through higher help, supreme illumination. Likewise, other religions found everywhere try to counter the restlessness of the human heart, each in its own manner, by proposing "ways," comprising teachings, rules of life, and sacred rites" …Gehiago

President Putin with the French family at the awards. Pilgrims from France in Kazan Last week, Kazan was visited by French pilgrims who began their journey on foot in 2021 from Fatima (Portugal) to Moscow's Red Square with the aim of consecrating Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and fulfilling the Fatima prophecy. Throughout the entire journey, the pilgrims carried a statue of Our Lady of Fatima, which now remains in Russia. Upon completing one of the most difficult pilgrimages of the 21st century, its Pilgrims' route: after the events that began in 2022, the border between Finland and Russia was closed. Therefore, it was necessary to go to Russia through the Baltic countries. I never knew that the families that were not born in Russia were eligible to receive the award. Maybe Putin also changed that as well recently. He has made so many changes for Catholics and others persecuted by their own governments. And also who are sick and tired of the evils allowed in them.
