    The wildfires in Dalmatia are terrible right now. There are usually major fires there during the summer because it’s the coast, with rugged terrain, rocks, and dry vegetation that arsonists set on fire. But what happened yesterday in Omiš was terrifying, because the four Canadairs (water-bombing aircraft) couldn’t fly at night. More than 100 vehicles still weren’t enough, and the city is right by the sea, with an entire hill above it burning and the fire spreading into the city. There were more than 200 hotspots.

    This year has been particularly difficult. First, there was the attack on Iran, which led to the entire Strait of Hormuz being closed, and we will only feel the economic consequences once the oil reserves run dry. The entire Middle East is unstable, the wildfires have ravaged Europe this year and are still ongoing, and now earthquakes have shaken Colombia and Venezuela.

    There’s no need to spread defeatism and pessimism. Historically, we have experienced wars and devastating natural disasters, and in the end, things always somehow turn around.

    Still, everyone has the feeling that something is brewing beyond the horizon. People don’t even notice the signs anymore because we are so consumed by hedonism and pleasure that God has become some distant, foreign concept to us.

    We are buried in signs but it is amazing how few take cognizance.

    Prayers. I hear it is truly horrible in Greece too. Poor people. I saw two big fire fighting helicopters fly over last night and felt a pang.

    Jewish Scholar Elected President of Catholic Biblical Association




    "Frank Wright argues the controversy is not ethnic; it is theological. The issue is not Levine's identity, but her approach to Scripture, which Wright says emphasizes Christ's humanity while rejecting or setting aside His divinity. The election, Wright contends, reflects a broader modernizing tendency within Catholic institutions: efforts to reinterpret Scripture through contemporary historical frameworks. He links it to what he calls the "Synodal Church," warning that diminishing Christ's divinity transforms Catholicism into a human-centered religion emptied of the supernatural. Wright connects the appointment to Pope St. Pius X's condemnation of modernism, which he describes as an attempt to reduce Christ to a merely human figure. If Scripture is treated as a purely historical document rather than divine revelation, the Church's identity shifts from supernatural to secular. The election is not an isolated event. It is a symptom of a deeper crisis."

    This appointment was so clearly wrong it kind of leaves you breathless. It is so clearly, clearly wrong that it is astonishing in its brazenness. But at least it is good that evil is so clearly out in the open now.

    The Catholic Biblical Association is not an official organ of the Church.

    It has ceased to be Catholic by appointing a Jew to head the organisation. It needs to be stripped of its Catholic title for its deception but I wont hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

    The Jews are doing what they do best: promoting the destruction of Western Christian civilization through hatred of God and the establishment of the world communism. They are capable of spending their entire lives in the very environments they loathe, solely to distort the truth and destroy the Church, morality, and faith.

    Amy Jill Levine by her own words...


    Levine’s own words settle the matter. “I don’t have faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.” She also says she can appreciate Jesus’ message “without worshiping the messenger.” Source: No Small Endeavor, “Jewish, Yankee Feminist, New Testament Professor,” July 2, 2020.

    Levine stated again: “I am not a Christian.” Source: ABC Religion & Ethics,

    And in 2026 she described Christ as the one “whom the church proclaims to be God.” Source: National Catholic Reporter, “Amy Jill Levine elected first Jewish president of Catholic Biblical Association,” August 12, 2026.


    Yet Levine has openly stated that she wants her scholarship pushed directly into Catholic formation: “The problem is getting the academic material into the hands of priests and homilists.” She continued: “I would like to get this better material into the hands of people who are speaking to people in the pews, into the hands of people in parochial schools who are teaching biblical studies to teenagers or to little kids, and mainstream it.”

    Source: National Catholic Reporter, “Amy Jill Levine elected first Jewish president of Catholic Biblical Association,” August 12, 2026.


    Her moral positions are also irreconcilable with Catholic teaching. Levine openly admits her “personal preference for queer advocacy.” She also declares, “I am not interested in debating those who still want to bar queer people from full enfranchisement.” Source: Outreach, “Amy Jill Levine: How to read the Bible’s ‘clobber passages’ on homosexuality,” September 12, 2022.

    More revealing still, Levine admits what Scripture actually says: “They are not reading erroneously when it comes to same sex relations: the Bible does not condone such relationships.” Yet rather than accept the traditional Christian moral conclusion, she argues: “If God declares that it is not good for the human being to be alone … then surely condemning gay people to lives of singleness and celibacy opposes divine will.” Source: ABC Religion & Ethics, “Not Good to be Alone: Rethinking the Bible and Homosexuality,” August 23, 2017.


    Levine also openly embraces feminism. In the No Small Endeavor interview she accepts the description “Yankee, Jewish feminist.” Source: No Small Endeavor, “Jewish, Yankee Feminist, New Testament Professor,” July 2, 2020. Publishers Weekly again identified her in 2026 as the self described “Yankee Jewish feminist.” Source: Publishers Weekly, “The Genesis of Bible Scholar Amy Jill Levine,” July 21, 2026. Catholics must reject any form of feminism that attacks the divinely established differences and complementary roles of man and woman, rejects Christian sexual morality, undermines motherhood and fatherhood, demands women’s ordination, or places modern ideology above divine revelation. Catholic doctrine is not rewritten according to the political fashions of the age.

    On abortion, a direct quotation from Levine explicitly declaring herself “pro choice” or endorsing elective abortion has not been established from the available primary material, and Catholics should not invent evidence. The Catholic teaching itself is absolute: “Direct abortion … is gravely contrary to the moral law.” CCC 2271. If Levine has explicitly rejected that teaching, the quotation should be produced. Until then, there is no need to manufacture a charge when the documented record already speaks for itself.

    Amy Jill Levine says “I don’t have faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.” She speaks of appreciating Christ “without worshiping the messenger.” She says “I am not a Christian.” She acknowledges a “personal preference for queer advocacy.” She admits “the Bible does not condone” same sex relationships, yet nevertheless declares that homosexual celibacy “opposes divine will.” And she wants her preferred biblical material placed into the hands of Catholic priests, Catholic teachers, Catholic teenagers, and Catholic children.


    And when any academic contradicts that Faith, the Catholic answer remains unchanged: “My Lord and my God.” John 20:28

    May God have mercy. "Evil militates to absurdity" (Father Ripperger) I see more and more clearly how a twist of the truth becomes a lie that can spread like a contagion. And never has evil manifested itself so clearly. The darnel growing silently with the wheat is now finally showing itself. Now more than ever we need Our Blessed Mother to guide us. In prayer before the Blessed Sacrament a few weeks ago I believe the Lord said that the narrow way was becoming so narrow it was almost disappearing from sight and that reliance on His Mother was absolutely essential for us in these days because " she who carried the Light of the World in her womb will light your path"
    I share this knowing as always that it may well be my own thoughts that emerge in these moments before Our Lord but it struck me all the same. So I am passing it on. Events like this seem to bear it out.

    Evil once openly claimed to be evil, whereas now it presents itself as progress.

    What is even worse is that a large part of the population is blinded to such an extent that they are willing to accept all kinds of compromises with this depravity. How can you be a Catholic and an academic and allow someone who does not recognize Jesus as the Savior to be at the head of your organization that is Catholic? That is an oxymoron, madness...

    The wise men of this world once again turn out to be fools before God a corruption of morality. Jews and communist are clearly pushing themselves into positions of leadership through these christian organizations, while Levine clearly emphasizes that her message must be preached in Catholic schools, universities, and churches, rather than Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church.

    This is a pure process of indoctrination based on hatred. Only now do Christ's words become even more apparent: that not even the gates of hell will prevail against the Catholic Church. Yet even the Church has been deeply compromised since the Second Vatican Council. Still, that Spirit of God will not allow it to fall. But I would not be surprised if they attempted to split it into smaller factions.

    The Jews are anti-Logos and therefore anti Christ.

    Thankfully, due to the genocide they are inflicting on the people of Gaza people are waking up so the days of Jewish privelege are over.

    Because they know that their time has come and there is no longer any need to hide, all of that power of theirs also has a source that is not from God. They are going full force in pursuing communism because, through the media, culture—i.e. entertainment—education, politics, and the destruction of the family, they have poisoned the morals of the West, along with the power of the money they possess. They have come out of the closet; the image they project is no longer important to them.

    It is no wonder that numerous apparitions and prophecies refer precisely to this era. Evil is also aware of the things that will unfold in the coming period, which is why it is accelerating the entire process. Only gullible, naive people who have embraced atheism and a purely worldly outlook are falling behind and wondering at certain events that cannot be explained within earthly frameworks.

    Lately, when I pray the Rosary, I go outside in the evening, sometimes even after midnight. When you look up at a sky full of stars, it’s almost as if, in a way, you are looking at God. You see the boundless beauty of the stars shining against the darkness, creating the most beautiful mosaic that no human hand could ever design. Then you realize just how vast this universe is, and that those tiny specks are larger than the entire Earth. You realize that this is only a fraction of God’s power—and that this greatest power, this infinite vastness, love and strength, knows your name, knows your problems, and feels your pain.

    And that this same force loves you as if you were the only person who existed, and that as long as you stay on this path, one day it awaits you, for you to join it in glory.

    It brings an incredible sense of peace and tranquility. And then you return to the noise of the world—all these moral, economic, political, and demographic catastrophes—and you get lost in the grayness and depression. It’s no wonder that Jesus so often withdrew into solitude to seek God and comfort. Wherever there is noise, God is quickly lost.

    Not sure if people are familiar with the brilliance of John Waters. He is a national treasure in my opinion. Here he speaks about Trump, America and Ireland - and the future of all 3. His insights are fascinating....

  20. "(LifeSiteNews) — During a televised Mass celebrating the 125th anniversary of his parish’s founding on the Feast of the Assumption, a priest delivered a heretical sermon questioning the Assumption of the Virgin Mary while also allowing men and women dressed in brightly colored hoop skirts to perform a liturgical dance.

    The troubling liturgy took place at La Asunción parish in the town of Torrelavega, Spain.


    “Today we celebrate Mary ascending to heaven, body and soul,” began Father Juan Carlos Rodríguez del Pozo’s homily. He then declared:

    Obviously, we should not take this literally. No human being ascends to heaven, body and soul. Heaven is not a physical place; it is a state of the soul — a state of fulfillment and happiness.
