“Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it.” - Saint Joan of Arc Feast Day: May 30 St. Joan of Arc said these words when people questioned why she risked everything to follow the mission God had given her. She was young, misunderstood, mocked, imprisoned, and eventually killed. Yet she believed that obedience to God mattered more than comfort, popularity, or even her own safety. This quote is a reminder that faith is not just about believing in God. It's about trusting Him enough to follow where He leads, even when it's difficult. Throughout Scripture, we see the same pattern. Noah built the ark. Abraham left his homeland. Mary said yes to God's plan. None of them knew exactly how things would unfold, but they trusted God anyway. Most of us will never lead an army like Joan, but we are all called to choose between God's will and our own. Sometimes the hardest battles are the quiet ones no one sees. Have you ever felt God calling you to do something difficult, but …Zaidi
Notre Dame Priest Abused Students for 17 Years: An investigation of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, found Holy Cross priest Father Thomas King, a dorm rector and history professor, homosexually abused male students over 17 years during the 1980s and 1990s. He used a "weighing scheme" to see students naked and coerced others with threats of bad recommendations. Despite repeated reports, officials were slow to act, and King wasn't removed from ministry until 2020. Notre Dame's president apologized to victims upon the report's release in May 2026. King himself has remained silent.
Notre Dame Rector Sexually Abused Students Over 17 Years
17 years of abuse, destroying the body and souls of those entrusted to him and nobody a the University knew anything, I'll guess that many people knew but kept their mouths shut. Some out of fear and others because they were abusing students themselves. What is worse is that in many areas of the Church today, this still goes on.
What do you mean “he has remained silent”? Who’s letting him “remain silent”? Has he been laicized or at least put on Trial? Why is he getting away with this? God help us.
BlessedBlessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa A Life of Eucharistic Witness Alexandrina Maria da Costa’s life stands as a testament to the Catholic belief in the Eucharist’s transformative power. From her early years of strength to her decades of paralysis, she grew into a profound witness of faith and suffering. Her 13-year fast, while extraordinary, was not the core of her holiness; rather, it was her love for Christ and sinners that defined her. The Church’s recognition of her as “Blessed” affirms her virtues, leaving the miraculous aspects as a matter of personal reflection. Her story bridges the natural and supernatural, inviting believers to consider the depth of God’s grace. She died on October 13, 1955, with the words, “I am happy, because I am going to Heaven,” a fitting end to a life of hope. Her legacy endures in her writings, her village, and the hearts of those who venerate her. For Catholics, she exemplifies the call to live fully for Christ, sustained by His Body and Blood …Zaidi

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh HOLY CRAP! The Trump admin has just SUBPOENAED Marxist influencer Hasan Piker and CODE PINK cofounder Susan Benjamin after they went to Cuba to assist the communist regime — Fox They're being investigated for possibly violating US SANCTIONS by delivering goods to Cuba, or through financing and coordinating it FAFO! Piker and CODE Pink are caught into a TREASURY DEPARTMENT Office of Foreign Assets Control inquiry, and were specifically sent administrative subpoenas. Piker and the leftists who went to Cuba were notorious for staying in LUXURY HOTELS with SECURITY and electricity while surrounding residents suffered.
Yes, you can't help the people the US is starving on purpose. That's the whole idea. To make them weak, to destroy their lives and then invade them and bomb them as he has tried to destroy Iran. Once again, I am happy to see him humiliated over and over and over again. He went home humiliated by China as well. After that, once he came back, first thing he did was threaten the "IRANIAN" people with a nuke! Third time!

In Chinese universities, they design reactors whose operation is based on nuclear fusion. At the University of Silesia, they feed a stuffed horse a carrot.
Worse than Germany: On May 21, Archbishop Gherardo Gambelli of Florence presided over a prayer vigil against “homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia”. 300 participants, including clergy, gathered. The event took place in the parish of Beata Vergine Maria delle Grazie all'Isolotto in Florence, a church located in the Isolotto district. This area is historically associated with ecclesiastical rebellion in the 1960s. During the vigil, Archbishop Gambelli cited Acts 10:34-35: "God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him." He presented the passage as a reflection on the dignity of every person and the need to reject prejudice and hatred. The event featured personal testimonies from unrepentant homosexuals. One speaker, Carlo, a 53-year-old homosexual from Florence, whined about experiences of bullying during his youth. He publicly confessed to sinning stubbornly with a man since twenty years but called this accomplice "a precious …Zaidi
Instead of seeking the conversion of those who have fallen into the vice of homosexuality, these apostate priests—homosexual activists—rebel against God and seek the perdition of all those souls.
On Pentecost Monday, the Church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens near Agen, France, was found vandalized.

For the second time, Pope Leo XIV has called on believers around the world to unite in prayer for peace. On May 30, he will lead a live Rosary prayer from the Lourdes Grotto in the Vatican Gardens, joined by shrines and faithful across Ukraine, Lebanon, Fatima, Medjugorje, the Philippines, Washington D.C., and many other places.
Sorry boss, no medjugorje for me... There’s Eucharist adoration anywhere and everywhere so; the apparition is fake just ask blinking vijka and the other one who has an "apparition on the road" kind of show... NOW, what is truly happening in Medjugorje that is TRUE? The faith of the pilgrims, but I don’t care about them "messengers"... Oh, our Mother is appearing and ask prayers and pennance? The same she did everywhere
In 2022, James Talarico’s campaign all decided to go vegan in order to fight climate change. Now he’s filming campaign videos of himself eating barbecue to prove that he is “more Texan”. In other words, he’s a windsock.
The climate is always changing….it’s a feature of weather and climate…BUT there are stories that governments or companies are capable and causing weather to be changed by cloud seeding, for example, or other factors….so are we looking at climate alarmism in order to control us like the fake fluctuations, or the fake flu and dangerous clot shots?

Austrian Bishop Rides Scooter Through Church During Confirmation: On May 24, Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics of Eisenstadt rode an electric scooter through a church in Neckenmarkt during a Confirmation Eucharist. The scene was captured by a photographer and shared by ORF Burgenland on Instagram. The bishop explained that he wanted to make his sermon "relevant" to the young congregation, having been told that the children in the area are avid scooter riders. By incorporating the vehicle into the service, he hoped to use it as a means of explaining the Holy Spirit in a way that would resonate with them.

@mccallansteve, they are use to be for a long time. Remember, it's Bunnini's novus ordo. And they will not have it other way. If they would, there should be some TLM there, which is not. Not even close to their place, I am pretty sure.
