The demons work through thoughts. St. Anthony the Great—a man who spent decades in the desert face-to-face with demons—spoke of this directly: 'The demons have no power over us by themselves. They merely suggest thoughts to us—nothing more.' What was he thinking? He refers not to the thought itself, but to the first impulse—a spark. Have you ever noticed this? You are calm, and then suddenly, for no reason, a feeling of frustration toward a loved one arises. Or a heavy, unnecessary gloom descends like a fog; or you suddenly want to say something offensive, and the words are already on the tip of your tongue." Abba Dorotheos of Gaza described Eight Generic Logismoi (tempting thoughts): 1. Gluttony (gastrimargia): Excessive focus on food/drink. 2. Lust (porneia): Sexual immorality or delusional thoughts. 3. Avarice (philargyria): Attachment to money/possessions. 4. Sadness (lype): Grief arising from unsatisfied desires. 5. Anger (orge): Malice or rage. 6. Acedia (akedia): Spiritual …More
Now you tell me great advice. With the advent of antichurch and antichrist (Prevost and Trump) hard to hold one thoughts together. Homo mafia rapes pillage the body of Christ and Trump wants to destroy a ancient civilization . Be at peace. I thought the battle of Lepanto celebrated warriors not pacifist.
Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast day of the vsionary of Lourdes, Saint Bernadette Soubirous. She was known as the visionary who saw the Blessed Mother ,18 times,at a Grotto in Lourdes. It wasn’t until the sixteenth vision that the white-veiled beautiful woman identified herself as the Virgin Mary, saying “I am the Immaculate Conception." From her childhood until her death at age thirty-five, Saint Bernadette underwent much suffering caused by poverty, sickness, and the unkindness of some people. She endured her trials with patience and always maintained great faith and hope in God. Bernadette’s body is incorrupt, till date,which means that it is preserved by God from decay. She is the patron saint of bodily illness, Lourdes, against poverty, shepherds and shepherdesses, and people ridiculed for their faith St. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes, Pray for us. Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us. Amen
Ice Age Farmer @iceagefarmer Australia: one of only two refineries has caught fire. Emergency services responding to reports of "explosions and flames" at the Geelong oil refinery, and the blaze is still "not yet under control" after 8 hours of firefighting. The timing of this — with Australia only weeks away from running out of jet fuel and diesel — is astounding. The Australian gov recently conducted a tabletop exercise pulling together 300 people across agencies to simulate a response to a multi-crisis situation involving energy shortages, h5 bird flu hitting animals and people, among other factors. When viewed with other "random" refineries like Dos Bocas (Mexico), Port Arthur (Texas), and El Segundo (California), the dots begin to connect to form a pretty compelling picture... Uncertainty over fuel supplies after major fire …

China’s Xi vows to stand with friend Putin against ‘hegemonic bullying’ "Chinese leader, the highest-profile guest of Moscow’s WWII commemorations, keen to maintain ‘deep’ relationship with Russia." And "Catholics" think this is fine? Red China has a "Patriotic Church" as does Russia! Bad for China but ok for Russia! Russia nice warm and fuzzy! Putin likes his puppy! Smell the cognitive dissonance anyone?
Resisting The Effeminate West The West is folding like a cheap suit before the unapologetic thrust of Islamic masculinity—and it's not because of birth rates. It's raw, civilizational **testosterone** versus therapeutic whimpering. Islam still raises men. Traditional Islamic culture—rooted in Quranic guardianship (4:34), the warrior ethos of jihad (greater and lesser), and clear patriarchal lines—produces protectors, providers, and fighters who view dominance, honor, and conquest as natural male duties. Jihadi-Salafi strains crank this to hypermasculine extremes: aggression as virtue, women as domain, infidels as prey, brotherhood forged in battle. Even mainstream expressions reject the West's gender-blurring experiments. Men lead prayers, families, and communities without apology. They don't attend "toxic masculinity" workshops or debate their own existence. The **Christian West**? It's gone soft. Once forged in the fire of crusading knights, monastic discipline, and fathers who built …More
St. Thomas Aquinas ~~~ At all times there have not been lacking persons having the spirit of prophecy, not indeed for the declaration of any new doctrine...
April 15, 2026 - TRUMP HAS SAID HE IS JESUS. THE MAGA CATHOLICS NOW CAN PRAISE THEIR NEW JESUS BECAUSE SO MANY PRIESTS AND CATHOLICS WERE IN A STRONG CAMPAIGN TO MAKE SURE THIS EARTHLY MAN WON THE ELECTIONS. I'VE BEEN CALLED A DEMON, A LIAR, AND "F" THIS AND THAT, A DEMONCRAT AMONG OTHER DISGUSTING ADJECTIVES, WELL CATHOLICS YOU HAVE YOUR NEW GOD, YOUR NEW JESUS IF THIS DOES NOT OFFEND YOU AND GIVE YOU THE COURAGE TO FIGHT EVIL THEN MAKE HELL YOUR NEXT STOP. I TOLD YOU SO MANY TIMES, AND YOU CALLED ME SO MANY NASTY THINGS. PRAYER, FASTING, ROSARY, HOLY COMMUNION, SACRIFICES, HAVE BEEN OFFER BY GOOD CATHOLICS SO YOUR BLINDFOLD MAY BE REMOVED AND YOU CAN FINALLY SEE THE DEVIL YOU ARE WORSHIPING. I SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT NOW, REPENT OR YOU ARE ALL GOING TO WHERE THIS MAN IS GOING AND IS NOT HEAVEN OR PURGATORY. THIS IS THE COST OF HATRED AND RACISM, AND I WISH IT WAS SECLUDED TO THE U.S. ALONE, BUT NO THIS EVIL IS SPREADING LIKE LIT POWDER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. WW 3 IS AROUND THE …More
Once, there was a stonecutter who went to the mountains every day to ply his trade. He spent his hours chiseling away at the rock, singing as he worked. He was a man of simple means, but he was content. Nothing weighed on his mind. One day, he was hired to do some stonework at a massive estate. When he saw the sheer luxury of the mansion, he felt a sharp pang of envy for the first time. He thought to himself, "If only I lived like this, I’d finally be truly happy." Suddenly, a booming voice echoed in his mind: "Let’s see if that’s true. From this moment on, every wish of yours will be granted." When he returned home that evening, his shack was gone. In its place stood a breathtaking mansion. The stonecutter threw down his tools and began living the life of a wealthy socialite. But one scorching afternoon, he looked out the window and saw a motorcade passing by. The King sat in a grand carriage, surrounded by guards. The stonecutter thought, "I want that power. I want to be the King …More
"In official rhetoric, the war in Ukraine is frequently portrayed as a continuation of the fight against fascism. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently emphasised that Russia was still fighting Nazi ideology that aspired for the strategic defeat of Russia – this time against Europe collectively." And "catholics" think this is good? Once you compromise with the "Errors of Russia," you will fall for anything.
Yes, but there's not nearly enough outrage at Bergoglio Prevost destruction of souls - to corrupt teaching of God's Church is far worse than any action of US or any other president
Trump did not depict himself as a healer. He depicted himself as Christ, and then lied about it. There should be outrage for that. Moreover, there was a LOT of outrage over the event depicted above. Both were scandalous.
