Rabbi Sacks: “In the middle ages Jews were hated because of their religion. In the 19th and the 20th centuries they were hated because of their race. Today, when it is no longer done to hate people for their religion or their race, today they are hated because of their state. The reason changes, but the hate stays the same.“

The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!
So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.

The trailer of the SSPX video came out today and has caused quite a stir. The videos themselves may change public perceptions radically ; if the Holy See is sensitive to public perceptions this could make quite a difference.
Retired Argentine Archbishop Héctor Agüer has praised the growing popularity of the Paris-Chartres pilgrimage among young Catholics. In the same essay, he renewed longstanding allegations that Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, a central figure in the post-Vatican II liturgical reforms, was a Freemason

A lot of well-meaning conservatives believe homosexuality to be immoral but don't think it should be illegal. But there's good reasons why it was illegal and should be illegal again.
Once homosexuality was made legal it was just a matter of time for it to go from quietly and shamefully practiced-> tolerated->promoted->required to support->shoved in our faces. When it was illegal, it stayed at the "quietly and shamefully practiced" phase.
Remember: homosexuality can't propagate naturally, so it has to proselytize to perpetuate. When homosexuality is illegal, it will continue to exist, but its propagation is done quietly and away from normal society; it only impacts a small segment of society. When it's legal, however, all barriers to its recruitment fall away, and you end up with perverted dudes in dresses reading at libraries to kids, and lots of young people identifying as homosexual simply because it's cool.
Not everything immoral should be made illegal, but a proselytizing perversion like homosexuality needs to be to keep it in check.
Make Homosexuality Illegal Again!

Leo glazed and prayed with the radical pro-abortion degenerate Chicago mayor without once calling him out for his radical pro-abortion acts and views.
Disgraceful. Trump has more Catholic common sense than shameful Leo as he would never meet with such a scumbag much less pose for a photo-op to legitimize him.
Leo is a disgrace. Those Catholic media personalities who keep silent while he does this stuff are even bigger disgraces.

In 2018, Ireland legalised abortion - in part because of the belief that nuns had spent decades deliberately murdering children in Tuam and disposing of their bodies in septic tanks
In 2026, the excavation is almost a year into its work and all evidence so far points towards dignified burials of children who died tragically of natural causes
Will an apology be issued if this is how things stand when the excavations conclude?
For centuries, the Angelus bell rang three times a day across Europe
Everyone stopped: in fields, workshops, markets, mid-sentence...
Morning, noon, and evening
A civilisation structured by prayer...
In 1857 Jean-François Millet painted two peasants standing in a field, heads bowed, tools down
That is the moment the bell caught them
Millions of people have hung this painting on their walls
Almost none know what they’re actually looking at
🔥 Translated from Anonymous FRENCH FIRE FIGHTER:
“I’m a firefighter, and what I saw yesterday in the streets of Paris broke my heart.
We responded around 10 p.m., after the call for a dumpster fire that was escalating. We thought it was just a simple evening incident. We arrived on the scene, and it was hell. Paris, my city, the one where I grew up, where I did my first shifts, had become a war zone. Black smoke everywhere, screams, explosions from mortars. Groups of young people, often from immigrant backgrounds, hooded, organized, charging at law enforcement like on a battlefield.
I saw fellow police officers getting lynched with iron bars. I saw a police car pelted with stones as we were just stepping out to put out a fire that was threatening families. We were set upon by rioters who screamed at us, calling us “dogs.” We were just trying to save lives, and we became targets.
I picked up a 14-year-old kid, face covered in blood, who was crying as he said he’d followed “the big guys” just “for fun.” I saw a mother, shutters closed, begging us to protect her children while everything downstairs was being smashed. Shattered storefronts, looted shops, burning cars… all of it under the pretext of “celebrating” something.
Celebrating isn’t breaking things.
Is this France in 2026? A country where you can’t go out at night without risking your life? A country where entire neighborhoods are handed over to clans that respect neither our laws, nor our history, nor our firefighters, nor our police? Where we watch helplessly as our capital, a symbol of light and culture, is turned into a playground for barbarians who spit on the hand that feeds them?
That night, coming home at 6 a.m., still covered in soot and sweat, I cried like a child. Not from exhaustion. From rage and sadness. For my children. For my injured colleagues. For this country I love and that’s letting itself die.
Wake up. Please. Before there’s nothing left to save”
The ignorance surrounding the issue if #SSPX consecrations requires an additional written defense of the upcoming consecrations. I offer one more. https://t.co/1p5tEnN6qQ
"If we can’t fix the female problem, fertility will remain below replacement, which means extinction, no matter what. AGI or automation or any other possible existential risk does not matter if there is no one left to use it. Abundance in an empty room is just an empty room."
The Only Real Existential Risk: the female problem
https://t.co/CQ1mVR82jX
I saw this video the other day and I can’t stop thinking about it.
A young woman celebrating that 52 percent of women aged 20 to 39 are now childless, that she is finally “part of the majority” and “the men are gonna crash out about this because they are so worried about the birth rate, and let me make this clear, I don't care".
It is true that this is the best indicator of feminism’s success but the girl, as most women celebrating this, is not the enemy. The real problem is the mismatch between women and the modern world.
Women evolved in environments where social exclusion meant death. You cannot hunt pregnant or fight nursing, so a single woman's survival depended on the tribe's acceptance, and a few hundred thousand years of that programmed her to see consensus as safety. It is the same trait that made women the thing that makes families work, what makes them a good mother and a good wife. It’s not that they are better or worse than men, they just evolved differently.
Which is why women do not really know what they want. Not because they are stupid but because of how they evolved. What a woman says she wants is mostly what she thinks the group wants. For two hundred thousand years the group was right and disagreeing meant death. The problem is what the group is now.
The group that decides what a woman wants is the average of millions of strangers an algorithm pulled together because they got a reaction out of them, tuned for outrage and sadness because that is what is engaging and sells ads. The wanting still feels like hers because the group wants it, but it’s the feed's.
We built a global consensus engine, pointed it at the half of the species that sees consensus as survival, and hoped for the best. Add to the algorithms a world that never existed before 50 years ago, the new career ladder, the adversarial institution, the hyper-individualism, built by men for men and then imposed on women as liberation.
Two transitions destroyed the family. The first was the decade between 1960 and 1973: the pill, no-fault divorce, Roe, and the beginning of adult daycare. IQ tests for hiring basically became illegal, college became the proxy, and college plus “career progression” became the norm eating away the entire fertile decade. In just 13 years, sex decoupled from reproduction, reproduction from commitment, commitment from permanence, and hiring from intelligence.
The second transition was in 2012, when smartphones with social media and dating apps went into every teenager’s pocket. Family was first destroyed, and then women were told they never wanted one to begin with, and if they *really* wanted one they should have waited.
They took her most fertile decade, the one stretch of biology that does not come back, and filled it with an extended adolescence. Eighteen to twenty-eight first in a classroom and then an office, children labeled burdens, the thing you get to later once you are established and it is responsible. Later arrives and the good men are gone (so are the eggs). She did not waste those years. They were taken from her by the people who were supposed to care for her.
This is what feminism actually accomplished.
The destruction of womanhood from the inside. Everything feminine, the relationships, the mothering, the holding-together of a community, labelled as low status, and the hole filled with a masculine dream she was told would set her free.
Feminism is the spiritual and philosophical rape of what it means to be a woman.
Women have been getting sadder for forty years while every objective measure of their lives improved, and the women who still report the most meaning are married mothers (shocked_pikachu_face.jpeg). Incredibly, the life they were told to run away from is the one that works.
And that’s why elections are going how they are going.
The same empathy that makes a woman a good mother is programmed to answer to the suffering it can see, the face in front of it, never the abstraction behind it. And that is what the whole political machine exploits. You take the most sympathetic case, give it a face, and let that face carry the entire policy without reason behind it. The raped woman becomes the proxy for every abortion, so the rare horror and the change of mind become the same thing, healthcare, and the child that is murdered never counts, because a fetus has no face and the woman in the ad does. She is not lying when she refuses to call it killing her own child. For women, an abstract victim never registers as a victim.
The child in a war zone becomes the proxy for every migrant, so one photograph carries a policy about millions of grown men, and the country that has to hold them is too abstract to weigh against the kid. Every time, the visible sufferer now beats the invisible one later. Run that instinct at the scale of a whole country and the conclusions are fairly obvious, the more a society allows women to be politically involved, the lower the fertility rate goes (this is truer for single women than for married ones).
The parallel problem is that men first allowed this, then were removed from the conversation, and now they ran. After allowing this to happen, a feminized society told them that masculinity was toxic, a lot of them obeyed and checked out into porn and games, built nothing worth joining, and the ones who refused got punished for it. Either way the supply of men worth marrying collapsed. "I can't find a good man" is true and self-inflicted at once.
So this is the female problem of our generation.
It was never that women were the problem. It is that female nature, the consensus-reading, the empathy, their radar for the room, the good stuff that built every family that ever held together, is the part most unfit for the modern world.
You cannot fix a nature. You can only build a world that works with it instead of against it. We built the one that works against it.
And this is the only existential risk that actually counts.
If we can’t fix the female problem, fertility will remain below replacement, which means extinction, no matter what. AGI or automation or any other possible existential risk does not matter if there is no one left to use it. Abundance in an empty room is just an empty room.
The woman in the video will get her wish, she will be the majority, she’ll cherish her childless life and realize her mistake when it’s too late. But the problem is that being the majority of a generation that does not continue is not a win. She cannot get out of this alone. Her nature is not the thing that can move first. Unless men start doing something and become worth choosing again and rebuild the thing worth joining, it only gets worse from here.

Leo XIV’s Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: Some Problematic Areas
1-“Dynamic” Social Doctrine and historical adaptation
The encyclical emphasizes the “dynamic character” of Catholic social doctrine and presents it less as a stable body of principles and more as a “theology of communion in history.” This is typical post–Vatican II modernism. This type of language suggests that doctrine evolves according to historical consciousness and contemporary circumstances rather than remaining permanently anchored in immutable truths. The concern is that “pastoral adaptation” gradually becomes doctrinal fluidity.
2-The repeated exaltation of “humanity”
Even the title, Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), already signals a strong anthropocentric emphasis. Throughout the text, expressions about “human dignity,” “human flourishing,” “shared responsibility,” and “remaining human” appear constantly. This is a continuation of the postconciliar shift from God-centered theology toward man-centered discourse, where humanity itself increasingly becomes the emotional and rhetorical center of ecclesial language.
3-The language of universal communion and inclusivity
The encyclical stresses “communion,” “solidarity,” and broad cooperation among political leaders, scientists, educators, and global institutions. This is another expression of the post–Vatican II tendency toward universal human fraternity language that appears less concerned with the distinction between truth and error, Church and world, conversion and coexistence.
4-The relativization of Just War Theory
There are passages implying that traditional Catholic Just War Theory is “outdated” or insufficient in the age of AI warfare. This is extremely sensitive because Just War Theory is not viewed as a temporary political framework but as part of the broader Catholic moral tradition developed over centuries.
5-The emphasis on “shared discernment”
The text describes social doctrine as “shared discernment.” That vocabulary strongly resembles Synodal language: dialogue, listening, collective processes, and historical accompaniment. This weakens the classical Catholic understanding of authoritative teaching flowing from Revelation and the Magisterium.
6-The tone toward modern global governance
The encyclical favors international cooperation, regulatory frameworks, oversight bodies, and global ethical coordination regarding AI. This is another manifestation of postconciliar optimism toward supranational structures and technocratic governance, associated with modern globalist tendencies.
7-The emotional-humanitarian style itself
A broader issue is stylistic. The rhetoric is highly emotional, humanitarian, and civilizational rather than ascetical, doctrinal, or supernatural. One repeatedly encounters themes such as vulnerability, fraternity, human suffering, dialogue, dignity, and coexistence. This appears as Christianity translated into the language of modern humanitarian ethics rather than the language of sin, redemption, sacrifice, judgment, sanctity, and salvation.
This disingenuous argument was used by Congar in the 1960s, and has been repeated ever since. Socialists do the same thing. They just complain that their erroneous ideas simply haven't been tried yet.
The Church post-Trent barely had the resources to implement in a quick manner the changes that were called for across the world. The Novus Ordo Mass, on the other hand, was up and running in every diocese in the early 1970s and ecumenical events started happening overnight too. In 1983 a new Code of Canon Law was written and in 1992 a new Conciliar Catechism was published.
It does not take 60 years to tell if something is from the Holy Ghost or not. “God is not the God of dissension, but of peace" 1 Corinthians 14:33. And the decades that followed Vatican II can only be characterized as a period of 'dissension' and the complete opposite of peace.
Yesterday Charlotte ordained 10 men to the priesthood, a record high in the diocese’s 54 year history. Interestingly, 8 of the 10 ordained came from parishes directly impacted by Bishop Martin’s restrictions against the TLM and/or altar rail ban. Meanwhile, two of the mega parishes in Charlotte, both of which fit the liturgical style +Martin favors-including one with over 12,000 registered families-haven’t produced a priestly vocation since well before COVID. Will this vocations boom continue in the coming years under Bishop Martin?

Bishops were consecrated in communist Eastern Europe without a papal mandate (or, in some cases, with disputed or expired faculties), primarily in Czechoslovakia. Early secret consecrations (late 1940s–early 1950s) were initially authorized by Pope Pius XII. He granted faculties allowing each bishop to secretly consecrate a successor (often with instructions for “one hidden, one active”) in anticipation of arrests or elimination of the hierarchy. Examples include bishops like Jan Korec and Pavol Hnilica (consecrated in 1951). Subsequent consecrations occurred without clear or ongoing papal approval, notably by figures like Felix Maria Davídek (consecrated around 1967). Davídek and associated underground networks reportedly consecrated additional bishops and ordained many priests (estimates of 150–250+ priests, plus multiple bishops) from the 1960s–1980s. These were often independent of direct Vatican oversight due to isolation and persecution.
