This is Easter Mass in 1940. Does anyone, serious about their faith, genuinely think Vatican II and the Novus Ordo and John Paul II’s communion in the hand standing were improvements on Catholic tradition?
In an article by Joseph Shaw, he states that in 878 Thomas Aquinas said only the consecrated hands of a priest should touch the Eucharist. How Ancient Is Communion in the Hand?
Communion in the hand is beautiful and reverent. Communion in the hand was the standard of the Catholic Church for the first 800 years because Jesus said "Take and Eat", not "open your mouth and stick out your tongue"
Last week, Elisa Martinez of the New Mexico Alliance for Life discovered that the Catholic Charities of Central New Mexico (CCASFNM) promoted a Planned Parenthood-sponsored event called the “Lavender Prom” as well as the Transgender Day of Visibility. Martinez reported: On Holy Tuesday, the organization promoted “Trans Day of Visibility.” More alarming, the next day on Holy Wednesday, it promoted a Planned Parenthood sponsored program of TeenMpower, a “Lavender Prom” event aimed at youth under 18 to intermingle with adults, described as “teens and allies.” The event encourages participation across a broad age range of young teens with adults offering “free rapid HIV testing” during the event. In fact, the 2024 Lavender Prom featured 4-5 grown adult males and drag performers attending Planned Parenthood’s TeenMpower event. It seems fitting that CCASFNM should promote Planned Parenthood on Spy Wednesday. But given this information, it seemed unlikely that this would be a one-off …

Tue Apr 7, 2026 - 4:27 pm EDTWed Apr 8, 2026 - 6:02 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — During a press conference with Hungarian President Viktor Orbán, Vice President JD Vance urged Hungarians to resist strong-arm tactics from the European Union’s powerful bureaucracy, headquartered in Brussels, that threatens the nation’s sovereignty. “There have been too few people to stand up for western civilization,” Vance said. “The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy independent. They have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers, and they’ve done it all because they hate this guy (Viktor Orban),” the Vice President said. “Why are bureaucrats in Brussels telling social media companies what information they’re giving to Hungarian voters?” he asked. “Hungarians are sovereign in their own country and they should be able to look at whatever information they would like to … without somebody in a faraway capital treating …

Hegseth: Trump 'chose mercy' on Iran By Ryan King Secretary of War Pete Hegseth underscored how the US could've taken far more brutal action against Iran, but President Trump opted for mercy instead. "They couldn't defend against it. President Trump had the power to cripple Iran's entire economy in minutes," Hegseth said, referring to energy and bridge infrastructure in Iran. "But he chose mercy." "He spared those targets because Iran accepted the cease-fire under overwhelming pressure. The new Iranian regime understood that a deal was far better than the fate that awaited them." Trump tells The Post in-person Iran talks will happen ‘very soon' — but reveals why JD Vance might not attend By Steven Nelson WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post that he expects peace talks with Iran to happen in Pakistan “very soon” following the Tuesday cease-fire deal — but that Vice President JD Vance may not attend due to security concerns.

Trump’s F-bomb post was appalling and offensive, and that was what he intended. But why? Why be ugly on purpose? Like everything Trump tweets, it was for a reason. Even the Times’s TDS-inflicted experts agree that Iran cannot win militarily. It’s just a matter of time. So the only way Iran can ‘win’ is politically. Iran’s strategy is to wait out Trump’s approval rating. That’s their whole plan. They plan to hold out until Trump’s own supporters make him stop. Treasonous corporate media is enthusiastically helping Iran. Trump’s offensive tweet was meant to convey one simple message to the mullahs: I don’t care about the politics. I’m moving forward anyway. Don’t test me.
The devil has sifted your earthly illusions, skillfully employing his wit and his charms but he was permitted for higher conclusions, God bless you, God keep you, Dear Brothers in Arms.
Letter to the Timothies They want you to join in, give up your last breath, become like the others: uneasy, annoyed and trapped in the working of fiefdom of death, the former empire Our Lord had destroyed. * The world has gone bigger, you're forced to the border, behold modern trends, beware of their Geist and firmly preserve the right ancient order, the order of God and His Holy Christ. * Ignore all the sirens, the voice for the stulted, wherever you struggle, just fight the good fights, this way you will hear the words of Exultet in depths of the darkest and longest of nights. * The devil has sifted your earthly illusions, skillfully employing his wit and his charms but he was permitted for higher conclusions, God bless you, God keep you, Dear Brothers in Arms.
Young Angel’s Descent Marks Easter in Spain’s Tudela | Shalom World News The Spanish town of Tudela marked Easter Sunday with its traditional “Descent of the Angel”, a ceremony that brings Holy Week to a close. Thousands gathered in the Plaza de los Fueros to watch the event. This year, a seven-year-old girl, Enma Madorrán, played the role of the angel. Secured by a harness, she was lowered from the Clock House into the square, where she symbolically announced the resurrection of Jesus to the Virgin Mary. She removed the black veil covering the Virgin’s face, a sign of mourning, and the crowd welcomed the moment with applause. The ceremony dates back to the 13th century and has been held in its current form since the 1600s. The role of the angel, once limited to boys, has been open to girls since 2008.

Mario Costabile on Reviving Your Parish with The "Amaze" Experience & Eucharistic Missions What does it actually look like to hear God’s voice? Mario Costabile, founder of Array of Hope, joins us to discuss his powerful documentary Vocation and the mission to make faith relatable for a new generation. In this episode, we sit down with executive producer Mario Costabile to explore the ongoing impact of Vocation, a film that follows six men through the raw, honest process of discerning the priesthood. Mario shares why "discerning out" can be just as holy as being ordained, and how the film is helping men across the country become stronger husbands, fathers, and disciples. We also dive into Rise Up Live, the hit Catholic variety show currently in its third season on Catholic TV, and discuss how parishes can bring "Steubenville on steroids" to their own communities through the Amaze Experience and the Behold Eucharistic Mission.

Pope Leo XIV has issued an Easter message to residents of Debel, a predominantly Christian village in southern Lebanon, currently besieged by ongoing Israeli bombardments and military restrictions. The message was delivered through Cardinal Pietro Parolin. Leo XIV expressed “paternal closeness and tenderness” to the people of Debel and extended compassion to all civilians suffering amid the conflict in South Lebanon. The message encouraged residents to find spiritual strength in the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, despite the “sorrow, anguish, and mourning” brought on by the violence and isolation facing the village. The Pope also urged the community not to lose hope, assuring them that their prayers and suffering are not forgotten. Invoking the protection of Our Lady of Lebanon, he concluded by offering his Apostolic Blessing to the people of Debel and their families. #newsHyygasezja
The "Fog" of Disbelief Abril 12, 2026 - Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy) Dear brothers and sisters, as Cardinal Cantalamessa has reminded us several times, over the past 150 years, modernity has spread a different narrative of the death of God in the West. A narrative that, instead of exploding in the joy of the Resurrection, as the Church attests, ends, as theorized by one of its most authoritative representatives, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in the sad wandering of the "superman" or the "beyond man" in an infinite nothingness. What good news, what a wonderful alternative, what boundless joy would be unleashed in the hearts of the men and women of our no longer Christian Western world in this beginning of the third millennium if, tired of wandering in the fog of disbelief, they awaken in their hearts the desire to contemplate and touch, like St. Thomas, the "signs" of God's merciful love manifested in Jesus His Son. Signs that the Risen Lord never …Gehiago

Ceasefire! Good news in the morning, the worst has been averted for now. Trump calls Iran's 10-point plan a solid foundation. Based on this, the USA will offload the reparation payments onto other countries like ours.
