"As a bishop, it is my duty to warn the West! The barbarians are already inside the city." -

Des images de désolation proviennent des grandes villes de France : j'en suis trÚs profondément indigné.
Ces scĂšnes de violence sont insupportables. Elles ont estompĂ© les justes revendications, empĂȘchent la majoritĂ© de sâexprimer, et font oublier les vrais motifs d'un malaise social profond. J'apporte mon soutien et ma compassion Ă tous les Français, manifestants, riverains, commerçants, policiers, pompiers et gendarmes, qui ont eu Ă subir cette violence.
Lâanalyse ne peut pas rester superficielle. En rĂ©alitĂ©, depuis bien des annĂ©es, nous constatons que de nombreux mouvements sociaux et populaires sont gangrĂ©nĂ©s et parasitĂ©s par des groupes terroristes. Car en effet, ces bandes terrorisent les populations, terrorisent les commerçants, terrorisent les reprĂ©sentants de lâordre. Ces individus ont compris que notre Ătat est faible et que toute dĂ©monstration de force le fait reculer.
La violence est un mode dâaction. Samedi, le manque dâeffectif de police et de gendarmerie, constatĂ© dans de nombreux quartiers, a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© un grand manque dâanticipation des autoritĂ©s. Voire, ce qui serait pire, une vĂ©ritable dĂ©route des responsables politiques qui se refuseraient dâassurer la sĂ©curitĂ© des Français.
Entre la peur de la confrontation, ou la volontĂ© de laisser pourrir la situation, rien nâest fait et des centaines de Français ont Ă©tĂ© laissĂ©s Ă lâabandon. Pillages, violences envers des particuliers, incendies criminels, destructions de biens collectifs : tout cela sâest fait dans une impunitĂ© rĂ©voltante. Il faut que le pouvoir recouvre son autoritĂ© avant que ne surviennent de pires situations. Pour cela, il faut donner aux forces de lâordre et aux magistrats la capacitĂ© de traiter ces individus comme des terroristes.
Des mesures exemplaires, constantes dans le temps, doivent sâappliquer Ă ces groupes afin de dissuader quiconque de se joindre Ă eux. Il faut que les manifestations puissent se dĂ©rouler sans que cela ne se termine dans ce chaos.
Le pouvoir se lĂ©gitime par lâautoritĂ© quâil manifeste et lâordre quâil fait rĂ©gner. Ă lâapproche des 800 ans du sacre de saint Louis, je prie pour la France et lui consacre toute mon attention.

Our local bishop is banning the St Michael prayer from the end of Mass.
His article, in the local Catholic paper, explains that in order to celebrate the liturgy âin accordance with the mind of the Churchâ priests need to âcatechize the people of God as we move away from additional prayers recited together immediately before, during, and immediately after Mass.â

This is child abuse. Society is conducting an open experiment on INFANTS, who cannot consent to being a product in a commercial surrogacy arrangement.
Babies cannot consent to being bought and sold.
Babies are not products or props.

There is nothing more primal than a newborn searching for their mother's breast.
Sometimes babies lose their mother due to tragedy, and we mourn.
Manufacturing motherless so two men can "make a family" is an injustice.

Could be the most important picture of the 21st Century. Remember of all things, âThree things last: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.â St Paul

âPicking up after kidsâ and you leave three items in an impeccably clean house? My brother, you need every pillow and blanket on the floor, toys strewn everywhere so you can hardly walk, random cheerio land mines, the works. You clean that, three times a day every day and weâll talk.

Dear @FiberFirstUSA. Please turn the Internet back on. Iâd call or email but that apparently is not an option.

You know who abhorred the veneration of relics in ancient times?
Pagans.
Pagans as in Julian the Apostate: the emperor who tried to revive paganism after the conversion of the Empire.
Protestants are making the same case as the pagans, and donât even realize it.
This is not Christianity.

This video shows the skull of Saint Agatha, a 3rd-century Christian martyr, being placed in her reliquary in Catania for the 900th anniversary of her relics' return. Veneration of relics is a long-established practice of the Catholic Church, Christianity's largest branch. facebook.com/EWTNVatican/poâŠ
