Damián Montes Nieto has announced in an Instagram video that he is finally leaving the priesthood: “I have decided to withdraw from the exercise of priestly ministry.” He was a Redemptorist and ordained to the priesthood in 2013 at the Santuario del Perpetuo Socorro in Granada, Spain. He prefers to keep private the “serious reasons” that turned his ministry into a “very sad and very difficult” experience. Looking to the future, he hopes for “the opportunity for a new life, shared with someone, or to start my own family.” He has taken up employment within an educational community and has assumed the role of Academic Vice Director at an international institution. Montes was "born a poet and an artist.” As a missionary priest, Montes had the opportunity to visit countries such as India, Honduras, Thailand, and Colombia, as well as various cities in Spain and Italy. Radical Pro-Homosex Priest Montes was one of the most openly homosex-affirming Catholic priests in Spain. In a 2021 …ད་རུང་།
Leo XIV Sings World Youth Day Anthem with Children: Yesterday, Leo XIV joined children attending the Vatican’s summer program Estate Ragazzi in singing Jesus Christ, You Are My Life in the Paul VI Hall. Sound on.
Papa Leone XIV ha vissuto un momento musicale speciale con i bambini di Estate Ragazzi in Vaticano, unendosi a loro nel canto di Jesus Christ, You Are My Life nell’Aula Paolo VI. Durante l’incontro, il Papa ha incoraggiato i bambini a costruire amicizie vere: stare insieme, giocare, parlare, pregare e non lasciare che la tecnologia prenda il posto delle relazioni umane. «Dio non vuole guardare il telefonino», ha ricordato loro. «Dio vuole guardare i nostri cuori, la nostra vita». Al termine dell’incontro, il Santo Padre ha pregato con i bambini e li ha invitati a raccontare ai genitori di aver pregato insieme al Papa.
St Charbel heals Elias with cancer in Damour, … Many years ago I worked with an engineer who grew up in Syria, and upstairs from his childhood home lived an old Jewish couple who would "read" Turkish coffee grounds for the neighbors. I had a chance to try some Turkish coffee and learn the significance of some of the symbols that appear on the sides and bottom of the little cup. Then, fast forward several years, I was a volunteer at a Cathedral where one of St Charbel's great nieces was also a volunteer. And, she showed me this image of St Charbel in the coffee grounds. She loved it so much, that I developed a great affection for it myself. St Charbel has been so good to so many people. @In Principio posted a picture of the miraculous hand print St Charbel left on a man's arm, and @Instaurare Omnia in Christo posted a link to a fantastic youtube about that miracle youtube.com/watch?v=7UatXxxzk_Y It's an hour long video, and has English subtitles, so to get the story you need to pay …ད་རུང་།
The Vatican has rejected – on paper only – a request from the German Bishops' Conference to permit lay people to preach during the Eucharist by means of an "indult." A June 17 letter, written by Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, was published on Dbk.de. The German bishops' proposal sought permission to allow lay employees, in the usual exceptional circumstances, to deliver a "homiletic reflection" following the Gospel during the Eucharist. In his reply, Cardinal Roche claims with canon law that the homily is an integral part of the liturgy [only since Pius X] and is reserved to a priest or deacon. He stresses that the reservation of the homily to clergy is not merely a disciplinary norm and does not depend on theological competence or communication skills. Cardinal Roche disputes the claim that current pastoral circumstances require an exception. Where a priest is present to celebrate the Eucharist, he is also present to preach. Where no priest is …ད་རུང་།

People want proof all the time about Putin. I and others have left plenty of it. But it seems some still don't get it. So I thought I would let you hear what I see and know be told by Former Austria's Former Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl confirm what I say is true. That I am not the only one who knows President Putin well. She moved to Russia to Saint Petersburg and attends important speeches and dinners and celebrations with President Putin. So she knows him very well. @Jeffrey Ade More proof? Or just one more thing to demand and ignore? I invite you once again to hear with your own ears who President Putin truly is. If you refuse. Don't demand proof again. I am leaving three videos. First is Mrs Kneissl in an interview with of all people the BBC. When you hear her describe Putin whom she knows well, no one will be able to comprehend it. So much propaganda destroys the brain. I truly believe it. The government turned on her. But what I see, the people loved her and still do and even …ད་རུང་།
" Former Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl confirm what I say is true... She moved to Russia to Saint Petersburg and attends important speeches and dinners and celebrations with President Putin" --- Yep. Paputchiks, next to matryoshkas, are probably most famous and most worldwide Russian products. "So much propaganda destroys the brain." --- True indeed. So, please do not damage our brains making this (allegedly Catholic) forum another version of the infamous "npabga"
Damian Thompson interprets on 0The Spectator (June 23) the Francis' pontificate through the theory of charismatic authority. Francis emerges as a Peronist-style ruler who cultivated ambiguity, governed through unpredictability, weakened institutions, protected loyal allies, and increasingly centralised power around himself. Main quotes. - “The theology of the Bergoglio pontificate has a curiously schizophrenic quality.” - “… previously magisterial Catholic teaching on difficult topics such as divorce and homosexuality was somehow negotiable”. - “…intentional imprecision of language, a tendency to caricature critics rather than engage with their arguments,…” - “…his willingness to contradict himself. One moment he was inviting the LGBT lobby to the Vatican; the next, he was using Roman slang to mock homosexuals.” - “He compared abortionists to paid assassins; he also allowed pro-abortion Catholic politicians to receive Holy Communion and appointed ‘pro-choice’ academics to …ད་རུང་།
Faithful Family Leaves Eucharist during Folk Dance: Yesterday, Bree Solstad shared a video on social media showing a man performing what appears to be an Irish or Scottish folk dance in front of the altar during the Eucharistic liturgy. During the dance, one family can be seen genuflecting and leaving the church. According to Solstad, the video was recorded on June 21, though she does not disclose the name of the parish. Solstad is a former pornography producer who announced in 2024 that she had left the adult industry and converted to the Church.
Bree Solstad on X: "This happened during the Mass yesterday. Note the one family that bent the knee to Christ and got the heck out of there. "
When the novelty wears off, it'll be something else. Bishop Fulton Sheen once tapped repeatedly on a table and said 'you can hear this now but soon you will not hear it'.
Yesterday, the Vatican published the program for the Consistory of June 26–27, thus providing a picture of the themes, personalities, and processes that Leo XIV wants for the Church. The scheduling information had already been leaked on June 17. Francis' Personnel Remains The Vatican has entrusted the four principal sessions to Cardinals Grzegorz Ryś (Poland), Víctor Manuel Fernández (Curia), Stephen Brislin (South Africa), and Mario Grech (Curia). All four are prominent figures associated with Francis' "project". Cardinals Fernández and Grech are homosexual activists. Francis' Synodal Procedures Remain MessaInLatino immediately noted that the structure of the meeting is unmistakably similar to the synods of Francis: small groups, listening sessions, synthesis reports, and strictly timed interventions. Two of the four sessions are organized around Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica humanitas. This means discussions about peace, reconciliation, social fragmentation, technology, and power. …ད་རུང་།

I keep writing that this filth is thrown out only when the clergy lose all access to the material benefits that they have and become immiserated as is Christ's wont.
It's not about an unofficial mascot that won the world's attention, but it is the family he follows. a hardworking Mexican family, Mother and children. A son with psychological problems and works to make a living to help his mother, and a young kid who follows his mother on the streets to sell water bottles along with his duck that has now become a symbol of resilience, unity, family values and love, and the unofficial mascot of the World Cup 2026 hosted in 3 countries, Canada, Mexico and the U.S. where the finals will be played. Worth listening to their testimonies and even more priceless to see other unofficial interviews of them representing a friendly, loving, welcoming and hardworking humble nation. God bless Mexico, second home of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
"Hardship does not befall the heathen without me and without a reasonable cause. Indeed, my prophets made many predictions about the adversities of the heathen in order that those who had neglected and abused reason might be taught by suffering, and in order that I, God, who permitted it all, should be known and glorified by every nation. Therefore, if I, God, do not spare pagans from suffering, even less will I spare those who have tasted the sweetness of my divine grace more plentifully."

Your Actions Reveal Whom You Love The Israelites were exiled due to their sinfulness, turning away from God and worshiping false gods. Despite God’s teachings and the example of Jesus Christ, people continue to justify their sins and reject the truth. To truly love God, one must strive to conform their heart to the truth, overcome weaknesses, and demonstrate love through actions, not just words. Fr.
