The priests remember Pope Leo XIV, Vicar of Saint Peter and Servus servorum Dei, by name at Mass in the Canon, and he deserves our prayers: but none need think him a saint nor agree with his ecclesiastical and temporal policies. 'Cor ingrediens duas vias non habebit successus'.

'... MPs cannot speak, because Westminster is paralysed by fear. They know, even the thick ones, that the woke experiment has gone horribly wrong, that it has broken trust in policing and persuaded millions that the state is biased against them....' https://t.co/Nh0VTatZpn

Heard about a recently published article, lets say generally in the area of Thomism, filled with hallucinated quotations. Easy to identify for someone who knew the scholarly territory.
The journal editor, when offered clear documentation and some standard options for correcting the scholarly record, refused to address it.
I expect something will be published about this eventually, but it is bad enough that "scholars" are polluting the discourse with AI slop. Fabricated quotations in scholarship about the history of ideas are especially insidious. It's somewhat disturbing that the problem wasn't caught during peer review. But since the corrupt article was published, it is much more scandalous that an editor wouldn't take easy and reasonable steps to safeguard the integrity of a journal.

Imagine being a Catholic publication and listing a group that protects vulnerable adults from physician assisted suicide as “conservative” coded instead of simply being a charitable group with a commendable goal in line with Catholicism’s teachings.

I will take absolutely no lectures about "divisiveness" from the people who gave us two-tier policing, racial hiring quotas and endless race-baiting.

Unlike you, we do not kneel.

The Ancient Greeks studied literature to become wiser.

The Romans studied literature to become more civilized.

My Columbia Shakespeare class studied literature to determine whether Shakespeare was gay.

Several serving and former Hampshire Police Officers have told me that ‘we had it drummed into us about our white privilege and unconscious bias’.

Training was outsourced to a third party company and the trainer ‘was deeply hateful of white people and our culture.’

Officers have reported to me about being furious but unable to complain out of fear for their jobs.

This is exactly why I blocked the Race Action Plan as Home Secretary.

It is disgraceful that this stuff went on in policing. And the PCC and CC need to be held to account.

Henry Nowak’s murder shows our police and criminal justice system have been corrupted by left-wing ideology.

We must restore what we once took for granted - equality before the law.

Stoicism hasn't been so popular as it is now for centuries, if not for two millennia. But what exactly *is* Stoicism, and when did it find its truest form? Tricky questions—but today we have Prof. John Sellars of Royal Holloway to guide us through trouble: https://t.co/6zKX3Mzcen

Imagine you are a dental hygienist and live in Sweden..

You are employed to help “migrant children” with their dental issues.

As part of your job you examine the wisdom teeth development of the kids and you notice that 80% of those “kids” have fully formed wisdom teeth, implying they are not kids at all but adults older than the age of 18.

You tell the Swedish Migration Agency and they advise you to put it in writing.

When you send exact details, with examples of specific patients you are suspended, investigated and fired for disclosing private information relating to patients.

This happened to Bernt Herlitz in 2017.

When he appealed the unfair dismissal he ultimately lost and was fined about $50,000.

He and his family faced financial hardship and almost lost their home, until some generous benefactors raised money for him. Bernt remains unemployed today, despite staff shortages for dentists in his area in Gotland.

At the time, Sweden scoffed at the tests and claimed they were “discriminatory” but since then they have quietly brought in mass dental testing, for those whose age is in doubt, by the National Board of Forensic Medicine.

Bernt deserves a medal. Not vilification and unemployment.

The following prayer was part of the Rosary of the Confraternity of the Most Blessed Sacrament, established in the parish of Hoengen, near Aachen, Germany. This rosary was prayed publicly during Holy Mass—a testament to the heartfelt, fervent piety of those who prayed it:

A certain difficulty the Society has is demonstrated here: they talk to themselves too much.Their position is obvious and self-authenticating.

"When God speaks, he doesn't need to hand you a business card"

That's nonsense when a Protestant like James White says that.

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.

RIcordate la storia dei 215 bambini indigeni sepolti nei terreni delle scuole cattoliche in Canada? Lo shock fu tremendo, cento chiese vandalizzate, Trudeau invocò le scuse del Papa. Dopo cinque anni di indagini e scavi profondi, non è stato trovato nulla https://t.co/MhKaLinFmw

Hampshire Police were taught courses about “unconscious bias”, “privilege and the importance of being an ally”

Leading to some officers feeling fearful of being “rejected for saying the wrong thing” & “pressured to feel certain ways".

This is how two-tier policing is created.

La française Florence Aseult mérite d'être mise en avant pour son don artistique de l'enluminure.
Voici une page de manuscrit intitulée "La Passion du Christ", qu'elle peint à la main sur du parchemin de chèvre selon la tradition médiévale.
Magnifique !🤩
