Asked about the Mass in the Roman rite, Cardinal Jaime Spengler of Porto Alegre, Brazil, said that “the river doesn’t flow backwards.” He spoke with VidaNuevaDigital.com on January 16. The cardinal is president of the bishops’ conferences of Brazil and Latin America (CELAM). His main statement echoes the historically weak ideas promoted by Cardinal Roche at the consistory on January 7-8. Cardinal Spengler said, “Throughout history, the liturgy has undergone various reforms. The Second Vatican Council represents an enormous effort to recover fundamental elements of Catholic liturgical celebration. Nostalgic proposals do not help to promote what the Council identified as essential for the liturgy.” Furthermore, Cardinal Spengler offered a pointless definition of the Eucharist: “Liturgy cannot be understood simply as an expression of religious practice; above all, it is a vigorous expression of a lived experience of faith, both personal and communal - an experience of encounter with …Bontsi
Wisdom 1:7 “The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.” Psalm 69:9 “The zeal for Your House consumes me, and the insults of those who insult You fall upon me.”
1) "Reforms", yes. but the N.O. is not a reform. It's a purge. It's an emptying out, a replacement, not quite a confection as implied by it's creators or adherents, but more like a conjuration, applied by those more self assured than confidant, more visionary than inciteful, more desparate than diciplined 2) "Recover fundamental elements". One could argue the point, but no, in practice: remove and replace fundamental elements. 3) Flow backwards? Then why seek to "recover"? 4) "a vigorous expression of a lived experience of faith, both personal and communal". This could take volumes and in fact has. In short, it may be all of these things, but is it the faith [that was recovered]? Or something else; and if so, what is this expression saying? And from where does it come?And what has it produced? I'm reminded of something... youtube.com/watch?v=B4M-54cEduo

Jason Jones reports that Israel has approved an illegal settlement project that threatens Shepherd’s Field in Beit Sahour, revered as the site of Christ’s Nativity announcement. At least 19 Christian families have already been displaced, and the new development could sever Bethlehem’s Christian community from Jerusalem. Jones warns this may mark the final erasure of Christianity in the West Bank, exposing decades of church destruction and settler violence. He calls on Western Catholics to abandon silence, insisting they have the power, and duty, to stop this before it’s too late. He also mentioned something about Governor DeSantos. And it didn't sound good either. He decided to criminalize criticizing Israel. I didn't like that man. People fell for the bones he kept throwing as well. Now it's starting to come all out. Just like he said, he will catch and stop those who are spraying our skies and it only got worse "right after he said that"! BREAKING: Israel is about to TAKE OVER the …Bontsi

Not only CAN you - You SHOULD. Here’s why. Yesterday, I participated in a focus group as part of a research study for a friend’s Masters Research. The Topic was DIGITAL DETOX. While digital usage varied greatly, the feeling was unanimous: The less digital, the better. Moreover, there were a handful of themes that continually resurfaced in the conversation. Things like: The importance of silence The need for relief The continuous stream of information Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) The fact of the matter is clear. Our brains are NOT designed to deal with the amount and speed of information that they are presently encountering. Trying to get “caught up” (another recurring theme) is thereforea losing strategy. So what to do? Slow down. Retreat is not surrender. In a sample of 8 people, I believe all, except one, said they were less stressed during digital detox than outside of it. Your time is your most valuable asset. I’ve been saying for years now that the ability to simply FOCUS is quickly …Bontsi
A Patristic Homily on Christian Marriage Beloved brethren, God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. From the beginning He established order, and by order He preserves all things. When He created man and woman, He joined them before transgression, not in disorder, but in unity of life and purpose, in harmony of soul under God. There was no shame in the beginning, because there was no rebellion. The will was upright, and the body obedient. Thus it is written: “The two shall be one.” This oneness signifies unity and indissolubility, not indulgence. Therefore the Lord Himself later proclaimed: “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Divorce is strictly shunned, for it violates the order established by God from the beginning. After the transgression, however, man fell from obedience, and with that fall came disorder. Desire—which had no place before—now inclined the will. The flesh no longer obeyed the soul with ease. In this state of infirmity, marriage was …Bontsi
Leo XIV’s consistory in January did not involve a general debate, Cardinal Raymond Burke told Edward Pentin for his Substack.com-account on 16 January. The consistory adopted a format closer to Francis’s synods, with discussion confined almost entirely to small groups:"All the discussion took place in the small group, and then in the general session there was simply a report from the secretaries." Divide and Conquer Burke added that the way the consistory was structured did not allow for so-called free interventions. The two plenary sessions permitted only brief interventions: "Each intervention was limited to three minutes, so just 15 cardinals could speak in one session." With more than 160 cardinals present, many were left unheard. In the small groups, "the topics were assigned, and then there was a whole structure that had to be followed at the tables". Every Pope Appoints the Bishops He Wants Beyond the consistory itself, Cardinal Burke expressed concerns about the Pope’s many …Bontsi
PART OF THE MEANING OF THE CROSS AND THE LETTER "A" IN THE SKY AS THE LORD LET ME KNOW, The 7 trumpets (a trumpet is a warning, though some crazy people they hear sounds and say they hear the trumpets, when they do not understand the bible symbolism some even dare to say that Donald Trump because of Trump is one of the Trumpets mentioned in the Book of revelation the Apocalypse, when it's not, lunacy is what it is with these fanatic speaking nuisance. Last name Trump has nothing to do with the 7 Trumpets or 7 warnings given by heaven to humanity, we living now in the 5th and 6th Trumpet. These are signs, warnings to all of us to wake up because once the last warning or the 7 Trumpet is given, then we will have the cups of chastisement. The 7 seals are 7 heavenly secrets that are revealed to humanity to destroy the influence and power of the anti-christ in the souls, but not all souls will break away form such power. The 7 secrets or seals are to humble humanity and return them to God. …Bontsi

Unlike his beloved predecessor, Leo XIV will not carry out the Holy Thursday foot washing in a prison or with transgender participants, but at the Lateran Basilica. This has been confirmed by the schedule released by the Prefecture of the Papal Household. He will celebrate the Eucharist of the Lord’s Supper there in the evening, after the Chrism Eucharist at St Peter's in the morning.
" Help me, dear sister, succour me in the frightful torture which I endure. Oh ! if you knew the severity of the Judge who desires all our love, what atonement He demands for the least faults before admitting us to the reward ! If you knew how pure we must be to see the face of God ! Pray ! pray, and do penance for me, who can no longer help myself."
“CHAPTER XVII ~ Pains of Purgatory — Blessed Quinziani — The Emperor Maurice. In the Life of Blessed Stephana Quinziani, a Dominican nun, mention is made of a sister named Paula, who died at the convent of Mantua, after a long life of eminent virtue. The body was carried to the church and placed uncovered in the choir among the Religious. During the recitation of the Office, Blessed Quinziani knelt near the bier, recommending to God the deceased Religious, who had been very dear to her. Suddenly the latter let fall the crucifix, which had been placed between her hands, extended the left arm, seized the right hand of Blessed Quinziani, and pressed it tightly, as a poor patient in the burning heat of fever would ask the assistance of a friend. She held it for a considerable time, and then, withdrawing her arm, sank back lifeless into the coffin. The Religious, astonished at this prodigy, asked an explanation of the Blessed Sister. She replied that, whilst the deceased pressed her hand,…Bontsi
The Army, "Chinese brains" and Russian "Murmansk BN": Iran has neutralized Starlink and is on its way to suppressing the wave of unrest. ----- Tehran has found an answer to the instigators of unrest. The Iranian army has announced that it is ready to participate in suppressing the unrest and has declared that it intends to "resolutely defend national interests, strategic infrastructure, and state property." The army blamed Israel and "terrorist groups" for the escalation, according to the Wall Street Journal. Until now, street rioters have been dispersed by the police and militarized formations, primarily structures associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The "Israeli footprint" in the events in Iran is becoming increasingly apparent. Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi said Tehran has evidence of Washington and Tel Aviv's involvement in the unrest. Arakchi also accused the US and Israel of "terrorist acts." In response, Israel publicly expressed its support for the protesters …Bontsi
