Cardinal Joseph Zen, 94, published today on his blog a short meditation on the readings of the Eucharist: "The first reading (Jeremiah 18:18–20) reminds us that this prophet who ‘feared death yet remained faithful to God’ was not a hero. But he spoke whatever the Lord commanded him. Facing the persecution of the ungrateful people, and court-appointed false prophets, he lamented to God, even complaining at times. Yet in the end he always placed his destiny in God’s hands. The Gospel (Matthew 20:17-28) reveals how the mother of two of the apostles mistakenly believed Jesus would be a worldly ruler, hoping her sons would attain high office and wealth. In fact, at that time no one could understand Jesus’ plan of salvation. Shall we emulate the prophets in proclaiming God's word, or willingly become false prophets for the court - be it the secular or ecclesiastical?" #newsYmrgxzjzru
Bondi Is Subpoenaed to Testify About Handling of Epstein Case INTERVIEW: Tommy Vietor on Bondi subpoena, Noem hearing and Texas primary Subscribe to @podsaveamerica nytimes.com/live/2026/03/04/us/trump-news-updates A key House committee voted on Wednesday to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to compel her to testify about the Justice Department’s investigation of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and its release of investigative material about him, after Republicans sided with Democrats to insist on it. Over the objection of the panel’s Republican chairman, Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, five Republicans on the Oversight Committee joined Democrats to force approval of the subpoena, which was introduced by Representative Nancy Mace, Republican of South Carolina. The vote, 24 to 19, was a striking rebuke of a top Trump administration official by members of President Trump’s own party at a time when the Republican-controlled Congress has generally marched in lock …තව
Instaurare Omnia in Christo The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. After removing tens of thousands of files, the Department of Justice currently makes public about 2.7 million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a CBS News analysis found, a number below the Department's initial claim of 3 million, and a total that continues to fluctuate. The Justice Department initially said that its release, made in response to a law passed by Congress compelling the agency to disclose nearly all files related to Epstein, comprised more than 3 million pages. Combined with previously released materials, the Department put the total at 3.5 million pages. And now, in part in response to widespread criticism and concern from survivors and their attorneys that the files contain nearly 100 survivors' personal information and photos, the DOJ has scrambled to remove documents. A CBS News analysis found that as of late February, the Justice Department has taken down more …තව
Kristi Noem Asked — With Her Husband Sitting Right Behind Her — If She’s Had ‘...Relations With Corey Lewandowski’ “It is about your judgment and decision making, it is about the 260,000 employees that work under you that want to make sure you are giving information and making decisions clearly,” Kamlager-Dove said. “It is about conflict of interest. It is about national security risk.” “American lives are at risk,” she added. Noem did not answer whether she had hooked up with Lewandowski. She stared forward as Kamlager-Dove read a series of headlines related to Noem and Lewandowski, which she said she wanted entered into the record; Jordan objected to each one. Noem’s husband, Bryon, was sitting behind her during her testimony but was blocked from view as his wife was asked about her reported lover. The prodding comes a month after the Wall Street Journalreported Noem and Lewandowski had a “close relationship”; the report said President Donald Trump and his advisors were …තව

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran Brian McGinnis was arrested during a hearing of the United States Senate Armed Services Committee after interrupting proceedings in protest over U.S. policy toward Israel. Video from the hearing shows a confrontation involving Tim Sheehy, as security personnel moved in and the veteran was removed from the chamber. The protest occurred amid heightened tensions in Congress over continued military aid and U.S. involvement in regional conflicts. Authorities have not yet released full details regarding the charges stemming from the arrest. I believe they broke his hand. “Israel is the reason for this war” ------------------
Donald Trump's commanders have been accused of telling troops that the war with Iran is part of God's plan for Armageddon. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), a non-profit civil rights watchdog, said it has received 110 complaints from troops since the war broke out on Saturday. The complaints span more than 40 different units across 30 military sites, first reported on veteran journalist Jonathan Larsen's Substack. A non-commissioned officer (NCO) wrote to the MRFF Monday that his combat-unit commander had claimed Trump was 'anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.' 'He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ,' the NCO said. The NCO, anonymized by MRFF, said they were writing on behalf of 15 others, including 11 Christians, a Muslim …
Keep yourself in the state of grace, attend Mass as often as you can, and receive the sacrament of Penance frequently. Then perhaps you will be ready for Armageddon.
Weltweit wird jetzt über die "wahren Gründe" dieses Krieges spekuliert ... Und uralte Prophetien, die sich heute wie "Verschwörungstheorien anzufühlen scheinen, geraten immer deutlicher in den Blick.

Rev. Asif Sardar, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Lahore, participated recently in an interreligious prayer event at the Badshahi Mosque, Lahore’s historic royal mosque. On March 2, he told Fides.org that the gathering included an iftar, the meal that Muslims use to break their fast. "In this difficult time marked by war that directly affects us, we want to reaffirm our spiritual communion and our shared commitment to peace," he said. There is currently violence and war at the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to VaticanNews.va, the Vicar General described the event as a "dream" because he was able to witness interreligious harmony and peace between the two communities. During the meeting, Fr. James Channan, a Dominican and the head of the Peace Center in Lahore, shared a commitment with Abdul Khabir Azad, the imam of the mosque, to "deepen the roots of relations between Christians and Muslims in Pakistan." They also agreed to "live the shared values of fasting, …තව
Number of war victims in Iran: - The number of Iranian victims of US-Israeli attacks against Iran has risen to 1,045, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported, citing the Foundation for Iranian Martyrs and Veterans. Previous reports said the attack claimed 787 lives. The report states: "To date, the number of victims buried during this series of brutal acts has reached 1,045." Reports indicate that both Iranian civilians and Iranian soldiers were among the victims. -- In addition to Iranian casualties in the conflict with Iran, more than 500 American soldiers have been killed, said Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Larijani wrote on social network X (Twitter): "Under Netanyahu's leadership, Mr. Trump dragged the American people into a cowardly war with Iran. And now let's count who is worse off with more than 500 American soldiers dead — the United States or Israel?"
Pray for Iran. Pray for the defeat of the Epstein forces. We can now see that the accusations of pedophilia against Holy Mother Church in the era of JPII (actual incidence of a fraction of 1%) were projections of what THOSE forces were actually doing. Wounding Holy Mother Church with these exaggerations led to the encouragement of homosexuals in the Church. Pray for Iran. Pray for the axis of resistance. Pray for the defeat of the Epstein forces.
Jessica Tarlov on the Iran War: "Rubio admitted that Israel decided to do this, and we went along for the ride... Israel was going to go in and Iran was going to attack us because of what our ally was doing. The decisions being made are being orchestrated by Netanyahu."
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Feb. 26 announced the Pentagon will conditionally continue to provide support to Scouting America following the youth organization's "commitment to pull all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives from its program." In a video, Hegseth said he had been weighing ending "all support" of Scouting America, the nonprofit formerly called the Boy Scouts of America, after "DEI crept in." Scouting America has signed a memorandum of understanding stating that it will comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump that aimed to bar DEI efforts in the public and private sectors, Hegseth said. Changes include the removal of DEI-focused language from Scouting America's programs and publications, and the elimination of a "citizenship in society" merit badge that required Scouts to "realize the benefits of diversity, equity, inclusion and ethical leadership." A new military service merit badge will be introduced, according to the Pentagon. …
Leo XIV appointed on November 26 the Indian Carmelite Fr Joshy George Pottackal, 48, as Auxiliary Bishop of Mainz, Germany. He will be ordained a Bishop on March 15. Monsignor Pottackal was born in the southern Indian state of Kerala. He became a German citizen in 2014, after living in Germany for ten years. On March 2, he told the Substack.com-Account 'The Pillar' that his appointment can be seen as a stance against the alleged "growing racism" and "xenophobia in Germany": "Immigration is a part of Germany, and therefore immigrants are a natural part of all areas of society." Furthermore, he presented himself as an opponent of the Apostolic liturgy, faith and morals. "I like that priests in Germany have more freedom to add personal and individual touches to church services." He did not participate in the heretical German synod: "I have been following it closely over the years." His opinion: "I think it is a positive that the synodal way led to quicker reforms and brought about a change …තව
This appointment is Rome's approval of the German Synodal while officially calling for caution. You can see the pattern. A priest in the Apostolic Church Acts in persona christi, denying himself. In the Synodal Church it is all about the individual, innovation (non servium) promoted for one and all.
World-renowned cancer biologist Thomas Seyfried, PhD, reveals that "we now have a mechanism by which antiparasitic drugs work." Professor Thomas Seyfried: "Mebendazole, fenbendazole. I researched it and wondered why antiparasitic drugs work against cancer cells, and it turns out that parasites use phosphorylation at the mitochondrial substrate level in the tissue... and mebendazole (fenbendazole) kills these parasites. So I tested it on the cancer cell, and it definitely acts on the mitochondrial substrate and glycolysis." Parasites rely on the EXACT same dysfunctional energy pathway as cancer cells, and these drugs don't care that cancer isn't a parasite.
El biólogo oncológico de renombre mundial Thomas Seyfried, PhD, revela que "ahora tenemos un mecanismo por el cual los medicamentos contra los parásitos funcionan". Profesor Thomas Seyfried: "Mebendazol, fenbendazol. Lo investigué y me pregunté por qué los medicamentos antiparasitarios funcionan contra las células cancerosas, y resulta que los parásitos utilizan la fosforilación a nivel del sustrato mitocondrial en el tejido... y el mebendazol (fenbendazol) mata a estos parásitos. Así que lo probé en la célula cancerosa y, sin duda, actúa sobre el sustrato mitocondrial y la glucólisis". Los parásitos dependen EXACTAMENTE de la misma vía energética disfuncional que las células cancerosas y a estos medicamentos no les importa que el cáncer no sea un parásito.

Novice master, guardian, and provincial of the Order. When his term as provincial expired, he dedicated himself to hearing confessions and practising mortification, two concerns contrary to the spirit of the dawning Age of Enlightenment.

March 5 Saint John Joseph of the Cross Confessor, priest, Franciscan Friar (1654-1734) Saint John Joseph of the Cross was born on the feast of the Assumption in 1654, on the island of Ischia in the kingdom of Naples. From his childhood he was a model of virtue, and in his sixteenth year he entered the Franciscan Order of the Strict Observance, or Reform of Saint Peter of Alcantara, at Naples. Such was the edification he gave in his Order, that within three years after his profession he was sent to found a monastery in Piedmont. He assisted in its construction himself and established there the most perfect silence and monastic fervor. One day Saint John Joseph was found in the chapel in ecstasy, raised far above the floor. He won the hearts of all his religious, and became a priest out of obedience to his Superiors. He obtained what seemed to be an inspired knowledge of moral theology, in prayer and silence. He assisted at the death of his dear mother who rejoiced and seemed to live …තව

On 1 March, the anti-Catholic Italian association Rete L'Abuso reported that the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith had confirmed that the statute of limitations would apply in the case of Italian priest Valentino Salvoldi of the Diocese of Bergamo. Ordained in 1970, Salvoldi served as a missionary in several African countries and presented himself as a professor of philosophy and moral theology involved in clergy formation. Describing himself as a “beggar of love”, he promoted a spirituality centred on affection, the body, and physical closeness, often positioning himself as critical of what he considered to be a “rigid” Church. He has been accused by at least 21 individuals — all male and including minors at the time — of sexual abuse allegedly committed during youth camps and spiritual retreats between the 1990s and early 2000s. The allegations describe a pattern of prolonged kissing, inappropriate physical contact, sharing beds, and manipulative spiritual practices …තව
