2024 05 17 Reconquest - My Children, Silence Before God

I am not a theologian, but there is something unsettling about this. Perhaps in part because the purported communications use the term 'our' messages. I read about a religious practice called '"Quietism" which sprung up in Catholicism some time ago..."All these varieties of Quietism insist with more or less emphasis on interior passivity as the essential condition of perfection; and all have been …More

I read about a religious practice called '"Quietism" which sprung up in Catholicism some time ago..."All these varieties of Quietism insist with more or less emphasis on interior passivity as the essential condition of perfection; and all have been proscribed in very explicit terms by the Church..." There is a longer article about this in The Catholic Encyclopedia

Italian Actor Roberto Benigni to Join Pope Francis for World Children’s Day

Roberto Benigni was superb in "Life is Beautiful" (1997). He, a Jew, ingeniously concealed his child from the Nazis in an extermination camp. I see Benigni today embraces the man who insists children get the Covid-19 vaccination. I wonder where the child would be hidden today from exterminators. Not in the Vatican surely.

@Info Krieger Krieger Im Mittelalter bestand eine Form der Hinrichtung darin, die Verurteilten mit Steinen zu zerquetschen, die langsam auf die Verurteilten gestapelt wurden, bis sie nicht mehr atmen konnten. Westeuropa wird derzeit auf ähnliche Weise ausgelöscht. Wenn die gegenwärtigen Umstände weiterhin ohne Widerstand toleriert werden, haben wir dann geprobt, was wir in unserem letzten Atemzug sagen werden?
(In the Middle Ages, one form of execution involved crushing the condemned with stones that were slowly piled on top of the condemned until they could no longer breathe. Western Europe is currently being extinguished in a similar way. If present circumstances continue to be tolerated without resistance, have we rehearsed what will we utter in our last breath?)

Dutch contestant Joost Klein kicked out of Eurovision 2024: Did he bully Israel’s Eden Golan before …

Eurovision has gone down hill since Craggy Island's 1996 Father Ted and Father Dougal's "My Little Horse" entry.

Bishop Strickland: "I Am Not A Sedevacantist."

"Strickland describes sedevacantism as a false belief and the claim that there has been no valid pope since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958..." The statement strikes me as perhaps nuanced. What about no valid pope since 2013?
