Vendée: About 10 minors, the oldest just 14, are implicated in the profanation of Saint-Hilaire church in Soullans. They filmed themselves inside, some climbing on the altar, while playing rap referencing Mohamed Merah, Salah Abdeslam and the Bataclan. Objects were overturned and pews showed burn marks. Their parents themselves brought the children to the gendarmerie. Prosecutors opened an investigation for glorifying terrorism. The town filed a complaint. The church is closed pending a Eucharist of reparation on October 12.

Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts, speaking at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh last weekend, asked why a young man would want to become a priest: “If what he hears is, well, you will become the administrator of eight parishes, and your diary will be filled with meetings, and above all, you must avoid offending anyone, and after 20 years someone may present you with a strategy plan on sustainable property management.” “It’s astonishing that anyone turns up at all.”

Faced with the near-disastrous fall of SLOTUS Usha Vance with newborn Alec in her arms I ask myself how far military protocol would have gone in standing there frozen, instead of catching her in their arms and sparing her a tumble
Three men standing there while a woman with a newborn in her arms nearly falls from a flight of steps and hurts both of them very badly and ...... they don't even flinch in an attempt to keep her from falling head first?
The Rosary: A Most Extraordinarily Efficacious Devotion by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira To be a devotee of the Blessed Virgin Mary for a Catholic is not a matter of preference, inclination or sympathy, much less sentimentality. It is a matter of life or death, since it involves effectively wanting or not eternal salvation. If it is true that the only necessary mediator between Heaven and Earth is Our Lord Jesus Christ, it is also certain that no grace is communicated to man without the intercession of the Most Holy Virgin Mother of God. This is how Divine Providence was pleased to arrange the supernatural order. It is therefore very important for the faithful to honor Mary Most Holy with tender, filial and strong devotion, using the means that best contribute to maintaining in their souls the sentiments of true love and deep veneration for the Holy Mother of God. Singular among these means, in the very authoritative opinion of the Roman Pontiffs, stands the frequent recitation of the …Ibindi
When I was a child, I was praying the Rosary in the back seat of my family's car, when the brakes gave out and my father went through a red light in a busy intersection in Los Angeles. There was no accident, as Our Lady protected us.

I read as far as I could, before my email address was required. Maybe the part of the article I didn't access says something about Vitamin D damaging the kidneys. But, many of us found out the hard way that taking mega-doses of Vitamin D to enhance immunity to all of the coronavirus variants that were going around a few years ago, wasn't such a great idea. In my case, a timely blood test alerted me to the problem. I immediately stopped taking Vitamin D and my kidney function returned to normal. (Whew that was close!)
A Hungarian priest has apologised after criticising Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s Tisza party and its supporters. Rev. Zoltán Osztie made the remarks during a Eucharist in Feldebrő on 26 September. He described Tisza as an “unbelieving, immoral and traitorous” political force. He added that Christians who vote for the party “understand nothing” of the Gospel. The Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest criticised the priest’s comments. It claimed insulting or labelling people because of their political views is not in line with Christian teaching. Church authorities formally warned Rev. Osztie and asked him to remove the video of the sermon from parish websites and social media. He was also told to avoid similar statements in the future. On 6 October, Rev. Osztie apologised to those who felt personally offended by his words. However, he did not withdraw his criticism of Tisza. He said he had intended to criticise a political worldview rather than individual people and maintained that, in his …Ibindi

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem has expressed his condolences following the deaths of two Palestinian Christian women in an Israeli air strike on Gaza City. “With deep sorrow and grief,” the Patriarch mourned Maysa Khader Ibrahim Abu Daoud (Ayyad) and Mary Hafez Michel Najjar (Abu Daoud).

They had sheltered at the Catholic church Holy Family during the war. #newsQnztxwkjwm
A WhatsApp post by an Italian bishop’s secretary showing Pride flags as a swastika sparked media coverage, prompting explanations from the secretary and two responses from his bishop. The Italian city of Aosta held its third homosexual march on 26 September. That same day, Bishop Franco Lovignana’s secretary, Gilbert Turcotti, posted on his personal WhatsApp status a graphic showing four trans flags arranged to form a swastika. He accompanied it with the words “Questione di prospettiva…” (“A matter of perspective…”). Turcotti subsequently deleted the post. When GazzettaMatin.com contacted him about the image, Turcotti replied: “It seemed like a nice colourful design to me.” According to Bobine.tv, Turcotti said that he had deleted it because the day was over and repeated that he thought it was a colourful design. When the swastika was pointed out, he replied: “Well, look, sometimes, coincidence. I have nothing to say.” According to La Verità, the following evening Turcotti said that he …Ibindi
