Starbucks employees expose that Starbucks is using “blending powder” in many of their newer drinks This new powder was just introduced this month. If you drink Starbucks you should be concerned about this. This “blending powder” consists of Gum arabic, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, natural flavor, silica and stevia extract (rebaudioside-A)
The reason they use it is because it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer. The gums and other components create a smoother, more consistent frozen blended texture and slows separation that would otherwise happen soon after the drink leaves the blender Starbucks employees have been making videos saying it makes their throats hurt, makes them cough and makes their head hurt.
The silica is silicon dioxide and acts as an anti-caking agent. This is a very controversial ingredient for health concerns But it’s also a concern for these Starbucks employees because inhaling it is dangerous. Fine silica …Ավելին

German Bishop Opposes Efforts to Convince People of the Gospel

Bishop Gerhard Feige of Magdeburg, Germany, has criticized calls for new evangelization strategies as a response to declining Church membership.
“I am very skeptical of strategies and methods aimed at deliberately persuading people,” Monsignor Feige told Herder Korrespondenz in its September issue.
Addressing secularization, pluralization, individualization, increased mobility and digitalization, Bishop Feige said: “Methods of evangelization hardly seem to me to be the right response to these complex phenomena.”
Instead, the bishop argued that the Church should focus on living out its mission through service to others, “It is not about imposing the Gospel on people,” he said. “The present age challenges us to be a Church that is as authentic and committed to serving others as possible.”

Rev. Michael Pfleger Cleared of Latest Abuse Allegation

Rev. Michael Pfleger, 77, was reinstated effective August 24 after the Archdiocese of Chicago's Independent Review Board completed its investigation. He is known nationally for his progressive activism.
Cardinal Blase Cupich, 77, said the board, assisted by the Office of Child Protection and outside investigators, concluded there was “no reason to believe” Pfleger was guilty of the allegation. Cupich accepted the recommendation and returned him to ministry at St. Sabina.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times reporting, a woman alleged that Pfleger sexually abused her when she was a girl attending St. Sabina's school sometime between 1993 and 1995. The allegation surfaced this July, and Pfleger was removed from ministry on July 11 while it was investigated.
Rev. Pfleger denied it emphatically from the outset, calling it an “absolute lie.”
Under archdiocesan policy, the allegation was reported to police, and the accuser was offered assistance through the church's Victim Assistance Ministry. …Ավելին

Vatican diplomat calls for end to Ukraine war during Moscow visit: Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Holy See’s Secretary for Relations with States, met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday. “Let us be clear, this war must end,” Gallagher said after the talks. He warned that every additional day of fighting creates new victims and makes future reconciliation more difficult. Gallagher said the talks also covered possible paths toward peace and humanitarian issues. It is Gallagher’s first visit to Moscow since 2021.

Preliminary Recourse of FSSPX Rejected: The Vatican’s deadline to respond to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) regarding its preliminary recourse against the July 2 decree declaring six bishops automatically excommunicated has now passed, notes @Michael Haynes The FSSPX submitted its recourse to the Holy See on July 11. Under canon law, the competent authority had 30 days to respond. With that period now expired without a decision, the FSSPX can proceed to the next stage of its canonical challenge. Canon 1735 provides that when no decision is issued within the prescribed 30 days, the time limit for presenting hierarchical recourse begins to run from the 30th day.

Leo’s liturgical problem: SSPX and the Latin Mass

VATICAN CITY (Per Mariam) — The return of Pope Leo from his summer vacation serves as a useful moment for both the pontiff and the wider Church to take stock of his pontificate after another year, with a number of key agenda items demanding his early attention. As the motorcade departed the papal villas in Castel Gandolfo on the evening of July 27, Vatican observers began to resume their normal posts as Leo’s return to the Vatican signalled the pope’s return to work. This year he took nearly the full month of July for a personal holiday, and though it was interspersed with some lighter duties and trips to pilgrimage spots, it was overall a period of quiet. No official meetings or audiences were scheduled and it is the longest single block of time that Leo has spent away from work since he was elected – last summer he took two separate and shorter holidays at Castel Gandolfo.

Leo XIV “has made room for progressive LGBTQ+ voices in several recent high-profile appointments”, writes the homosexual website Them.us on August 24. The article highlights four recent pro-homosexual appointments of bishops. The examples are:
- James Checchio (New Orleans): he supported homosexual propaganda as bishop of Metuchen, New Jersey.
- Ramón Bejarano (Monterey, California): he presided over homosexual Eucharists as auxiliary bishop in San Diego, including transvestites in the liturgy.
- Christian Würtz (Eichstätt, Germany): he supported “blessings” for homosexuals and changes to biblical teaching on homosexuality.
- Thomas Hennen (Baker, Oregon): he drafted pro-homosexual “pastoral” guidelines.

Pope Leo XIV’s LGBTQ-Friendly Appointments Include Bishop Invited Drag Queen to Mass

The first American Pope has made room for progressive LGBTQ+ voices in several recent high-profile appointments, per an analysis in the popular Substack Letters from Leo, written by former Obama staffer Christopher Hale. In February, Pope Leo XIV officially appointed Bishop James Checchio as leader of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, per a blogpost from New Ways Ministry, a Catholic outreach organization that “educates and advocates for equity, inclusion, and justice for LGBTQ+ persons.” Checchio had been in line to take over the role informally since September 2025, per EWTN News. Checchio, who had previously led the Metuchen Diocese in New Jersey, made LGBTQ+ outreach a priority with at least two of the 75 parishes under his jurisdiction known to be explicitly LGBTQ+-friendly, according to New Ways Ministry: Sacred Heart Parish in South Plainfield and St. Joseph Parish in Hillsborough. Not only did Checcio support a group for LGBTQ+ Catholics in his diocese, he attended their 2016 …

Leo XIV to Lutheran Lay-Bishops: We Have a “Shared Mission in the World”

Today, Leo XIV welcomed the Lutheran State Bishops of Norway in audience.
Referring to the fallen human condition, Leo XIV said it is “all too easy to adopt an attitude of hostility toward those with whom we disagree”.
That is why he seeks – at least with Protestants – “concrete paths of reconciliation and of fraternity”.
Leo XIV recalled Christ’s prayer for the unity of his disciples.
Key phrase: “Grounded in our common Baptism and our shared mission in the world, I pray that we may always grow together in our service to the promotion of peace and justice.”

Ecumenism sounds nice, but it does not work. Much dialogue has produced hardly any converts to Catholicis, while there have been countless apostate Catholics who have become non-Catholic.

Perhaps the Superior General of the FSSPX should have declared himself a “Lutheran Bishop” from Norway, so he could have joined this delegation in Private Audience with Leo. Hmmm? 🤔

Leo XIV: “A radical reform of the liturgical rites was not in fact necessary in order to make the liturgy more accessible after the Second Vatican Council — a reality that the full, conscious, actual and extraordinarily fruitful participation in the unreformed rites today makes perfectly clear.”

Leo XIV: "Novus Ordo Rooted in and Respected the Tradition of Church"

At today’s General Audience, Leo XIV praised the failed liturgical reform after Vatican II.
He quoted extensively from a letter by the future Paul VI, Cardinal Montini, dated October 1962. He wrote that the faithful “cannot and must no longer remain silent and passive”.
No Participation: Novus Ordo Churches Empty
Leo XIV added that “the participation of the faithful cannot be passive”. The Conciliar reform “was intended to allow the liturgy to shine forth”.
He believes there was “the need to make the richness of the biblical texts and prayers more accessible to all the faithful”.
"Necessary" to Revise Liturgy
Furthermore, Leo XIV claims that the liturgy “has always been subject to developments and changes”.
“It is therefore not surprising that the Second Vatican Council too, with the utmost respect for the heritage of tradition, and precisely in order to make it more accessible, considered it necessary to revise the liturgical books.”
According to Leo XIV, “the liturgical reform promoted …Ավելին

Two pastors fined W1m each for disrupting flight with loud preaching - The Korea Herald

This unrelated file photo shows the interior of an airplane. (Getty Images Bank) Two pastors were fined 1 million won ($723) each for disrupting a domestic flight by loudly preaching to passengers and refusing repeated requests from cabin crew to stop, local media reported Monday. The pastors, 64 and 68, were convicted of violating the Aviation Security Act over an incident aboard a flight from Jeju to Gimpo that departed at around 3:40 p.m. on March 12, according to the Seoul Southern District Court's Aug. 18 ruling. The court said the 64-year-old pastor stood in the aisle despite repeated attempts by crew members to stop him and shouted at passengers, “You will go to hell if you don’t believe in Jesus.” The other pastor joined in, shouting, "Hallelujah, you will go to hell" while walking up and down the aisle. When a crew member approached to issue a warning, the pastors reportedly shouted back, "Don't try to lecture me." The two ignored repeated complaints and objections from crew …
