“The modern world is undergoing an extraordinary spiritual crisis. People are searching for meaning. Young people are searching for an identity. Loneliness is on the rise. Families are breaking down. Technology is penetrating ever more deeply into human existence. Pornography distorts sexuality. Materialism fails to satisfy. Climate change is becoming a surrogate religion for many. People are afraid of death, yet they hardly know what they are living for anymore.
And in the midst of that world, the Church possesses something extraordinary. It possesses the Gospel. The sacraments. The Eucharist. Confession. Two thousand years of wisdom. Scripture. The Church Fathers. Thomas Aquinas. Augustine. The mystics. The saints. An unrivalled tradition of art, music, philosophy, morality and spirituality. And above all: Jesus Christ.
The world is not waiting for yet another organization to listen to it. There are already enough of those. The world is waiting for someone to tell it why it was created.”
Bishop Robert Mutsaerts (August 13, 2026)
@geoff_lindner@FeserEdward They invaded because Russia wants to eliminate Ukraine as such, not because of NATO weaponry, which was little to none at the beginning of this war
Illarionov says he learned of the Trump administration decision to cut off all military support to Ukraine on February 25th, before Zelensky's White House meeting on February 28th.
Zelensky's visit was then blamed retroactively in the March 4th announcement of the decision.
❗️The behavior of the US authorities changed after they met with Russian officials - EU foreign policy chief Kaia Kallas, commenting on the recent vote on the UN resolution on Ukraine
"We drafted a resolution together with the new Trump administration to support Ukraine. But when they (the Americans) met with the Russians, something happened after that, because the behavior changed," she added.
It's true. A corrupt dictator is standing in the way of peace in Ukraine. He has conscripted hundreds of thousands of boys and men who have been maimed and killed. He has used this war to advance his personal political ambitions. He has banned opposition parties and removed political opponents. He has outlawed all media that is critical of his decisions.
His irresponsible behaviour is threatening world peace and making a nuclear conflagration more likely.
His name is Vladimir Putin.
He is not arrested, he is being questioned. Călin Georgescu is an intelligence officer from Ceaușescu's nomenclature, who, supported by an illegal paramilitary group and Russia, is trying to seize power in Romania. Stop spreading disinformation, dear sir! You are making a fool of yourself in front of the world, as you have been doing lately!
@CapAmericaTrump @anders_aslund No. There are lots of Toyotas, Hyundais, Kias, Nissans, Hondas, Fords. One also find a number of Jeeps and Dodges. Thus, do not spread lies.
