Communion in the hand
WATCH: Mother Teresa told priest Communion on the hand was 'worst evil' she'd ever seen - LifeSite
Fri Apr 17, 2026 - 12:26 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — In a recent interview with Matt Fradd on his podcast Pints With Aquinas, Father John Perricone described how Mother Teresa had once told him that receiving the Holy Eucharist on the hand was the worst evil she had seen in her decades as a religious. During the podcast, which first aired April 13, Perricone recalled having breakfast with Mother Teresa, who had attended his Mass on several occasions, and how he had asked the nun about the most evil thing she had seen in her work with the most vulnerable across the globe. The priest emphasized how, without hesitation, the sainted nun said, “Communion in the hand.” “I remember once I said, ‘Mother, you’ve been in the worst areas, sectors of the world imaginable, and you’ve seen the greatest evils. Tell me, of all the things that you’ve seen, what can you tell me is the worst evil you’ve come across?” he recalled. “I suspected she was going to say abortion or euthanasia, (but) she looked at …
Thanks for posting her Catholic Wisdom.
I dislike Communion in the hand greatly, but I can think of worse evils.

STAY INFORMED Must Watch Videos 740: Pope Francis calls Latin Mass Leaders to Rome: FSSP and ICKSP will by loyalty tested [Podcast] The “Ecclesia Dei” communities or priestly societies attached the 1962 Latin Mass are being summoned to Rome in September.

These alleged "Latin Mass Leaders" are in fact backers of the Novus Ordo revolution supporting indult fables of Wojtyla, Ratzinger and Bergoglio.
Doesn't bother me because those in Rome are set to destroy the Church. As a good Catholic, I reject all they have to say and will follow the true Church so that I can save my soul

People who have read me for a long time know that the World has never held much of an allure. I’ve spent my life on a search for the metaphorical Door to Narnia, a way to get away from it. I talked a lot, when I moved in 2014 to Norcia and became a Benedictine Oblate, about having found at least the threshold of that door. From Norcia, I could at least see the Enchanted Realm. And when the earthquake came, it was a loss I could hardly bear. And it left me, I thought, with nothing I wanted in this life. ~ Help support my work ~ When I was at a low point during the lockdowns, I was listening to Jordan Peterson a lot, to try to cheer myself up and give myself some hope and reason to go forward. He talks a lot about "meaning" and seeking meaning above seeking "happiness." And he's right. Meaning is something transcendent that you can spend a lifetime pursuing and living in, however you happen to be feeling. Happiness is something ephemeral and passing that you can get from a plate of spaghetti. …

"The prohibition of the traditional Latin Mass is an abuse of ecclesiastical power and noncompliance with its prohibition does not in fact constitute disobedience"
The following statement by Bishop Athanasius Schneider is being published in numerous places today. The prohibition of the traditional Latin Mass is an abuse of ecclesiastical power and noncompliance with its prohibition does not in fact constitute disobedience1. The traditional Roman liturgy of the Mass was the liturgy of our Catholic ancestors. It was the form of the Mass with which most of the European nations (except some Eastern European countries and the Ambrosian and Mozarabic rites), all American nations, and most of the African, Asian, and Oceanian nations were evangelized. 2. “What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too” (Pope Benedict XVI). 3. “The problem with the new Missal lies in its abandonment of an ever-continuous history, before and after St. Pius V, and in the creation of a thoroughly new book (albeit compiled of old material)” (Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger). 4. The new Missal’s “publication was accompanied by a kind of prohibition of …
An abuse of ecclesiastical power is not a problem. Abuses happen. The problem begins when such an abuse becomes... a heroic virtue. Cf. Paul VI the Abuser and John Paul II the Abuser called by some diabolical mockery... the Saints!

Gay Pride Launches Economic Warfare On Catholic Father Of Five
Long before the left invented “pride month,” the Catholic Church dedicated June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a tradition originating from the 17th-century visions of Christ received by French nun St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. Enter Ross McKnight, a Louisiana Catholic father of five and owner of Backwater Foie Gras, whose business is now under attack after he made an Instagram post on Sunday commemorating the Sacred Heart of Jesus that provided his followers with ways they can protect themselves from “false pride” and counter the “attempted coup of the month of June.” McKnight’s post was fairly innocuous, encouraging his followers to adhere to the traditional liturgical calendar — instead of the new secular one — and to hold onto their French Catholic identity by “enthron[ing] the Sacred Heart in your home this month,” “Wear[ing] the Sacred Heart as a badge wherever you go,” “Pray[ing] the Rosary” in French, and reading his blog post titled, “This Tremendous Weight.” “The push to have …
What a brave, upstanding man! This beautiful article brought tears to my eyes; tears of gratitude to God for letting me see this kind of courage!
Gay pride, loyal demons of Satan.

Pope Cancels Latin Mass as 80% of US Catholics Skip New Mass EVERY Sunday
Pope Francis is not telling the truth. He claims that he must cancel the Latin Mass to preserve unity in the Church. Trouble is, eighty percent of US Catholics don't go to Mass at all anymore. In Europe, the percentage is even higher. Pope Francis is not telling the truth. He claims that he must cancel the Latin Mass to preserve unity in the Church. Trouble is, eighty percent of US Catholics don't go to Mass at all anymore. In Europe, the percentage is even higher. In forcing us to "unite" with defecting mainstream Catholics, is he hoping we'll stop going to Mass, too? Plus, what about all the other 23 rites in the Church? Is Francis going to cancel them, too? What's really going on here? Why is Francis lying about the Latin Mass? And why is he so afraid of it? He's attacking the 2000-year-old historical, dogmatic, and liturgical patrimony of his own Church. Why? Who is this guy, and why is he doing everything in his power to crush faithful Catholics and build up a New World Order? FULL …
Catholic (universal) was meant to mean united in the one true faith, the church Jesus Himself founded, not led off into heresy by an apostate pope. Know your faith!

Church Reasons to Condemn the Divine Mercy Devotion by Msgr. Patrick Perez
Several readers have addressed questions to TIA asking orientation about the Divine Mercy devotion. Since we knew Msgr. Perez had addressed the topic some months ago, we invited him to write an article about it for our website. Since he is busy with many pastoral duties and unable to write, he sent us both the tape and text of that sermon (April 21, 2013) for us to edit and post at our convenience. We transferred its spoken language to written language and inserted title and subtitles. Although it is a long article, we thought it would be better to offer it to our readers in a single piece, rather than to break it into several articles. TIA My dear faithful, today I want to say a few words about the Divine Mercy devotion. I receive many questions about this subject every year and now I want to address the topic. As a source reference I am using principally an issue of The Angelus magazine (June 2010). This research comes from Fr. Peter Scott. Since he provided most of what I needed for …
St. Augustine says the devil deceives men in two ways: by despair and by hope. After the sinner has sinned, the devil tempts him to despair through terror of the Divine justice. Before he sinned, he encouraged him to it by the hope of Divine mercy. Therefore does the Saint give this counsel: After sin, hope for mercy: before sin, fear Judgment.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus IS devotion to God's mercy. Jesus' love for us is symbolized in His Sacred Heart. He loved us so much he died for us.
Sister Faustina's diary quotes Jesus as telling her she, Sister Faustina, was closer to Jesus than any other person (not Jesus' mother). There are several errors in her diary.

Sister Lucia’s 1957 Interview with Fr. Fuentes: Are We Now Rejecting the Last Means of Salvation?

Augustin Fuentes (postulator for the causes of beatification of the Fatima seers, Francisco and Jacinta) interviewed Sister Lucia, the eldest Fatima seer. As Fr. Karl Stehlin describes in his Fatima: The Great Secret of Fatima (volume III), the progressive authorities in Rome soon thereafter sought to discredit Fr. Fuentes and his interview, which should give us some indication of its importance today: “Why then such a strong reaction to this text? First, this text placed Sister Lucia among the prophets of doom whom John XXIII condemned in his speech at the opening of the council. The Pope, therefore, must not have liked what she was …

Little Boy Killed After 145-Pound Pit Bull Mix Attacked Him Without Warning, Wouldn't Let Go
News A 2-year-old boy died after a 145-pound dog with whom he often played turned on the child and attacked him. On her Facebook page, Kandi Bettis mourned the loss of her son, Blake. The incident took place Tuesday in Brunswick, Maryland — about 40 miles northwest of Washington — in the home of the boy’s grandmother, Kim Russell, according to WUSA-TV. The mastiff-pit bull mix had been with the family for five years, Russell said. “This is just a complete shock,” she told the outlet, holding back tears. “I just have flashbacks. He was just an angel.” Russell said the incident happened as a party for her birthday was ending. The dog grabbed the child and refused to let go, she said. “We don’t know,” Tammy Crawford, the boy’s aunt, said, according to WTTG-TV. “He just attacked him, so. And the dog is very lovable too, so we just don’t know what happened.” “It’s very heartbreaking, for him to be gone at such a young age. He was such a joy to be around. Very lovable kid. Loved his mother …
Pitt Bulls were bred to be aggressive and to attack. It is a manipulated type of dog. Wolves can be bred to be domesticated submissive dogs in just 8 generations. The opposite is also true.
You miss the point,animals in their place are a wonderful part of Gods creation but pets as companions is a bit perverted.
Two Children Killed in Pit Bull Mauling, Mother Severely Injured
Two small children were mauled to death by two pit bulls on Wednesday while their mother sustained severe injuries in attempting to pull the dogs off, according to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department. When authorities arrived at around 3:30 p.m. at the family home on the 700 block of Sylvan Road near Shelby Forest State Park in Tennessee, they found Lilly Jane, two, and Hollace Dean, five months old, dead on the scene. Their mother, Kirstie Jane Bennard, 30, was found seriously wounded and was rushed by fire paramedics in critical condition to Regional One Health in Memphis. Family member Jeff Gibson shared on Facebook that Kristi is currently in stable condition but with “an uncountable” number of stitches over her body and face, while her arms and legs are entirely bandaged up. “As of now it looks like there isn’t any permanent damage other than a heart that will never heal,” Gibson added. He also noted that the attack lasted approximately ten minutes. A pit bull (Tiffany Kelly/…
No matter what, pit bulls , by nature, are not good pets
Sad to hear this. Many of these fatal cases the pit bulls are either abused (used for dog fighting) or not well trained by their owners. I have a pit and she is a great dog. They bond with the owner for life and if you are attacked by a would be criminal they will literally give their life courageously defending you. And, I would hate to be that bad guy on the receiving end of things.They are strong and fierce but require a strong owner who will establish an alpha relationship. However, if they are properly trained and loved they are no more dangerous than any other breed of dog.
