The final criminal case against the Catholic pro-life investigator David Daleiden has been dismissed. This ends a nearly decade-long legal battle stemming from his undercover investigation into the abortion industry. Daleiden released in 2015 a series of undercover videos showing that officials connected to Planned Parenthood Federation of America sold body parts and fetal tissue of aborted babies. In 2016, the office of then–California Attorney General Kamala Harris (2011-2017) prosecuted Daleiden and his colleague Sandra Merritt related to illegal recording (invasion of privacy). She did not prosecute Planned Parenthood. Over time, more than half of the charges were dismissed by a judge. Instead of going to trial on the remaining charges, David Daleiden agreed in 2025 to the deal “no contest” (nolo contendere) . It allows a defendant to resolve a criminal case without admitting guilt while accepting the court’s judgment. The agreement included no jail time, fines, or probation, …Okuninzi
Apr 3 Good Friday: the largest Cricifix in the world and the Canadian connection The "Cross in the Woods" is the "Catholic Shrine ... located in Indian River, Michigan. The Shrine is home to the largest crucifix in the world." About the shrine: The sculpture of the crucified Christ was titled 'The Man on the Cross' by the renowned Michigan sculptor Marshall Fredericks. It is made of bronze 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick. It weighs seven tons, is twenty-eight feet tall from head to toe, and the outstretched arms span twenty-one feet. The figure of Christ is attached by thirteen bolts 30″ long and 2″ thick that were made when the figure was cast in Norway. Fredericks wanted to portray Christ in a peaceful way. It was his dream to 'give the face an expression of great peace and strength and offer encouragement to everyone who viewed the Cross'. Apr 2 "You are clean, but not all of you" This is a very thoughtful homily given by Pope Benedict XVI for the Mass of the Lord's Supper. It was delivered at …
Watch till the end. ( 8:42 seconds or less)l. A Christian civilian. Killed by a foreign strike near his home. Buried by his Muslim neighbors. This is the Iran they don't show you. In a country the world calls divided by religion, Muslims carried their Christian brother to his final rest. Not because of politics. Not because of propaganda. Because that is who they are. We filmed his memorial service—the grief, the unity, the shared humanity. This video is not about war. It is about what survives war: faith, dignity, and the bonds that no bomb can break. Watch. Share. Remember his name: *"Avanes"* IRAN War: When Muslims Wept for a Christian
Why the Bride of Christ Cannot Disappear or Defect We are living through a period of profound upheaval in the life of the Church. The statistics alone are sobering. Since the mid-twentieth century – and especially in the decades following the promulgation of the New Mass – Attendance at Sunday Mass in formerly Catholic nations has collapsed, seminaries have emptied, religious life has declined dramatically, catechesis has weakened, and moral confusion has spread even within ecclesiastical circles.[1] Entire cultures once unmistakably Catholic now stand secularized. (The Fatima Center’s own David Rodríguez recently witnessed this firsthand in Croatia, a country which was well over 90% Catholic for over more than 1000 years!) The assault is not merely external. The Church is attacked from without by militant secularism, aggressive atheism, and moral revolution. Yet she is also wounded from within by doctrinal ambiguity, liturgical experimentation, denigration of piety, the embracing …
On Holy Thursday, Cardinal Luis José Rueda Aparicio of Bogotá, Colombia, washed the feet of homosexual prostitutes (“transgender sex workers”). This act mirrors similar gestures made by Pope Francis.

It's Time to give up the sinful life; we can die unexpectedly at any moment and front up to our Particular Judgement before God Almighty especially with current Events around the world and more Tribulations to arrive!
"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist. For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all, the Son of God, come among us to put and end to death." Saint Athanasios of Alexandria

He could have retired to a mansion. Instead, he bought 6 tons of beef, 7,000 cakes, and 8,700 bricks of ice cream — and invited every man, woman, and child in three counties to come eat for free. His name was Edgar Byram Davis, and his story is one of the most extraordinary acts of generosity in American history. Davis grew up in Brockton, Massachusetts. He worked his way up from the shoe business to become a wealthy rubber industry investor. Then, at 46 years old, he followed his brother to a small, struggling farming town in Texas called Luling — where geologists had unanimously declared there was no oil worth finding. He drilled anyway. Six wells. All dry. His company sank into debt so deep that his phone was disconnected and the bank wouldn't cash a seven-dollar check. Most men would have walked away. Davis drilled a seventh well. On August 9, 1922, Rafael Rios No. 1 exploded 200 feet into the sky. Within two years, the Luling field was producing 43,000 barrels of oil per day. A …Okuninzi
On Holy Thursday, Leo XIV washed and kissed the feet of 12 priests in the Lateran Basilica. In his homily, he remembered his predecessor: "As Pope Francis once remarked: 'This is a duty that comes from the heart. I love it. I love it and I love doing it, because that is what the Lord has taught me to do.' He was not speaking of an abstract imperative or a formal, empty command, but rather expressing his heartfelt obedience to the charity of Christ, the source and model of our own charity."
Il Giovedì Santo, Papa Leone XIV lava i piedi a 12 sacerdoti.
I am glad Pope Leo XIV has carried out the washing of the feet in a traditional, more dignified and proper way. But, I just don't get this "kissing the feet" thing. The Gospel of St. John tells us Jesus washed the feet of His Apostles, it says nothing about kissing them. I have seen this kissing before and I find it cringey! It comes across - to me - as one-upping Our Lord Jesus, a kind of false humility (like the Francis) or virtue-signaling! Personally, I have never kissed feet during the washing of the feet. In the past it was done (or had the possibility of been done) at a separate ceremony. Now days in many places the whole thing is abused and a bit of a circus. The only feet I'd kiss are the crucified feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. Laudetur Iesus Christus!
The Jews conspire against Christ. He is anointed by Mary. The treason of Judas. The last supper. The prayer in the garden. The apprehension of our Lord. His treatment in the house of Caiphas. Douay-Rheims Bible, Matthew Chapter 26
