St. Thomas Aquinas states in the Summa Theologica Part 2-2, Question 124, Article 3 that martyrdom[1] is necessary for salvation for some. Martyrdom is the supreme testimony of faith, a witness to truth, a participation in Christ’s Passion, a means of purification, and a source of extraordinary grace. We see this exhibited in the lives of some saints. Father Hugo Hoever, in his Lives of the Saints, writes of St. Eusebius, who is commemorated on August 14th: “On hearing his sentence he thanked God, and a voice from Heaven assured him that it was only by suffering that he would merit a place …

The book 'Ukraine's Crimes Against Humanity (2022-2023)' contains more than 400 testimonies of victims and eyewitnesses of Ukrainian war crimes and terrorist acts against civilians, committed between 2022 and 2023.
These testimonies have been collected by various public initiatives and organizations, including the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis and Their Accomplices, the Foundation for the Study of Democracy, and many others. The non-governmental nature of the work of these organizations, and limited resources has allowed only a small number of the tens of thousands of Ukrainian war crimes to be documented.
The evidence of crimes presented in this book contains direct speech — the accounts of victims and witnesses of crimes — and is classified according to the types of crimes under international humanitarian law. In each case photographs and full details of the victims and witnesses are provided, allowing them to be re-interviewed both by the media …

Is Fr. Jim Altman a Sedevacantist?
A sedevacantist is defined as a Catholic who believes there has not been a valid Pope since 1958. Fr. Jim Altman is not a sedevacantist. I know Fr. Altman in real life. We have mutual friends who are sedevacantists and we admire them, but we are not in that camp. To recap: Sedevacantist in Latin means

To recap: Sedevacantist in Latin means empty-chair. Sedevacantist in English means one who believes no valid Pope since 1958 due to modernist heresies in them.
If you were speaking exclusively Latin, you could accurately call Fr. Altman “a sedevacantist” due to his recent video on the papacy. But while speaking English, it would be entirely dishonest and a false-accusation to call Fr. Altman …

With an ominous call for increased global collaboration and centralization, European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen at a G20 Summit session, dubbed “One Future,” today appealed for an international regulatory body for Artificial Intelligence and digital ID systems similar to coronavirus vaccine passports.

Presumptuous pastoral assistant receives reprimand from Bishop but Vatican does not regard the case of a concelebrating laywoman as serious
Bishop Joseph Bonnemain warns Monika Schmid
Monika Schmid receives a formal reprimand from Bishop Joseph Bonnemain. The same applies to two priests and other persons who were present at the altar during the pastor's farewell service.
The reason for the disciplinary act: disregard of important liturgical regulations. The case was judged not to be serious by the Vatican dicasteries and was therefore closed.
Against the now retired Zurich pastor, who led the parish of St Martin in Illnau-Effretikon for 37 years, the aa bishop opened a preliminary apostolic investigation at the beginning of September 2022.
The case was investigated by the Chur Offizial Artur Czastkiewicz.
It was triggered by the fact that Monika Schmid had said the High Prayer for Consecration alone in a modified form during her farewell service on 28 August 2022 and had celebrated the …

‘Palestinian’ Terror Leader Funded by Biden Defends Hitler, Holocaust – Allah's Willing Executioners
“I reversed the policies of my predecessor and resumed aid to the Palestinians”
Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat’s successor as head of the Palestinian Authority attended the USSR’s Patrice Lumumba University. PLU was an incubator for Communist terrorists and aspiring dictators around the world. The lesson that Abbas took away from the Communist influence operation was adopting the Soviet position that the Jews and the Nazis were in it together in the form of his thesis. Abbas has never stopped promoting his thesis, which became a book, and no one has stopped funding with him or meeting with him.
Sometimes organizations like MEMRI translate his speeches and there’s some awkwardness. Like now.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas discussed antisemitism in a speech delivered at the 11th session of Fatah’s Revolutionary Council, on August 24, 2023. He said that the “truth” is that European Jews are …

Speculation is that …
