White House officials have dismissed the movement’s complaints as “blown out of proportion,” arguing that pro-life voters will continue to support Republicans as the only viable alternative.31 Total abortion numbers have actually increased since the fall of Roe, a fact that underscores the movement’s frustration with the administration’s approach.31

" Wherefore, when the soul knows herself, as we have said above, she finds humility and hatred of her own sensual passion, for she learns the perverse law, which is bound up in her members, and which ever fights against the spirit. And, therefore, arising with hatred of her own sensuality, crushing it under the heel of reason, with great earnestness, she discovers in herself the bounty of My goodness, through the many benefits which she has received from Me, all of which she considers again in herself. She attributes to Me, through humility, the knowledge which she has obtained of herself, knowing that, by My grace, I have drawn her out of darkness and lifted her up into the light of true knowledge."
'About the Love of God and the Love of a Neighbor' ~ [Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; born: Siena, Republic of Siena/died: Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] How virtues are accomplished by means of our neighbour and how it is that virtues differ to such an extent in creatures. " I have told thee how all sins are accomplished by means of thy neighbour, through the principles which I exposed to thee, that is, because men are deprived of the affection of love, which gives light to every virtue. In the same way self-love, which destroys charity and affection towards the neighbour, is the principle and foundation of every evil. All scandals, hatred, cruelty, and every sort of trouble proceed from this perverse root of self-love, which has poisoned the entire world, and weakened the mystical body of the Holy Church, and the universal body of the believers in the Christian religion ; and, therefore, I said …More
– Folha de S. Paulo, February 26, 1969 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira ONE of the themes of the Brotherhood Campaign invited all Brazilians to reflect upon the maxim: “We are all brothers, we are all equal.” To such reflections, I dedicate my words of today which, regardless of their merit, at least have the distinction of being disseminated in a newspaper [Folha de S. Paulo] with a very large circulation. From the outset, I knew the task would be difficult. By heartfelt sentiments that spring from the innermost being, by that special discernment — tacit though it may be — that senses the simple, sublime, great truths of life, and by the mark impressed on him by Christian tradition, the Brazilian is convinced we are all equal and brothers. This is illustrated by the profound historical reality of [Brazil’s] miscegenation, which is based on the equality and fraternity of the races. Undoubtedly, the mentors of the campaign realize this. Accordingly, their objective does not lie in repeating …More
The Prayer for the Church and Civil Authorities is a traditional American Catholic devotion composed by Archbishop John Carroll in the late 18th century, which has become a central part of the liturgical patrimony of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP). The Prayer We pray Thee, O Almighty and Eternal God, who through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy; that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue, with unchanging faith, in the confession of Thy name. We pray Thee, who alone art good and holy, to endow with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life our chief bishop, Leo XIV, the Vicar of our Lord Jesus Christ in the government of His Church; our own Bishop, (or Archbishop,) N.; all other Bishops, Prelates, and Pastors of the Church; and especially those who are appointed to exercise among us the functions of the holy ministry, and conduct Thy people into the ways of salvation. We pray Thee,…More
Never thought that this would be how it would manifest. Conditional prophecies suggested that they would be the enemy but it is in fact the western leaders goading and provoking Russia constantly.
I meant to add that's my opinion about them stepping up their attacks in Russia. It's how I see it. Also some people were asked if they think Putin will start to attack other countries weapon factories. They all agreed not at all. Putin tries to make peace. He wants nothing to do with war. I left a list of people I listen to awhile back. We can learn so much from them. History, what's going on etc.
"John and Peter poured some water on his hands, which he held over the plate on which the azymous loaves had been placed; then he took a little of the water which had been poured on his hands, in the spoon that he had taken out of the lower part of the chalice, and poured it on theirs. After this, the vase was passed round the table, and all the Apostles washed their hands in it. I do not remember whether this was the precise order in which these ceremonies were performed; all I know is, that they reminded me in a striking manner of the holy sacrifice of the Mass."
[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich; XVIII-XIX Century; born: 8 September 1774 Flamschen, Coesfeld, Prince-Bishopric of Münster, Holy Roman Empire/ died: 9 February 1824 (aged 49), Dülmen, Kingdom of Prussia, German Confederation; mystic, Marian visionary and stigmatist; Roman Catholic Augustinian canoness] MEDITATION VIII ‘Institution of the Holy Eucharist’ By command of our Lord, the major-domo had again laid out the table, which he had raised a little; then, having placed it once more in the middle of the room, he stood one urn filled with wine, and another with water underneath it. Peter and John went into the part of the room near the hearth, to get the chalice which they had brought from Seraphia’s house, and which was still wrapped up in its covering. They carried it between them as if they had been carrying a tabernacle, and placed it on the table before Jesus. An oval plate stood there, with three fine white azymous loaves, placed on a piece of linen, by the side of the half loaf …More

[Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; born: Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/died: Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] II. Songs for Saint Rupert [According to the Life of Hildegard by Gottfried of Disibodenberg and Theoderich of Echternach, the call to Move from Disibodenberg came to Hildegard in a vision, accompanied by a bout of illness in which she remained until she consented to reveal what the vision had said to her. The place to which she felt called was the Rupertsberg, or Mount St Rupert, a site on a large hill overlooking what is now the modern town of Bingen in the Rhine Valley. At the time of Hildegard’s move in 1150, there was just an old ruined chapel dedicated to the eighth-century saint, while the rest of the area was cultivated as a vineyard. Rupert’s original monastery had been destroyed …More
On 2 July, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Nuncio to the Baltic States, spoke to Corriere.it about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X and the Mass in the Roman rite. Key quotes, slightly shortened - The FSSPX has become even more hardline. It's unbelievable - truly sad. - Their understanding of tradition is not tradition. They freeze Catholic tradition at Pius XII. After that, they see nothing but errors. - Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications of the four bishops as a father seeking peace. It was an outstretched hand they refused. The radical faction prevailed—they rejected reconciliation then and still do. - They are like the Protestants of five centuries ago. Cardinal Müller is right. - I am very disappointed. Grace can do anything over time, but for now I see even greater distance and deeper hardening than before. "Leo XIV Should Allow the Traditional Roman Mass" - There are faithful who celebrate the Latin rite—for example, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter—and they do …More
Stay Faithful While Many Fall Away The focus of the church has shifted away from God and towards human desires, leading to a rejection of biblical teachings. Despite this, the faithful are encouraged to remain steadfast in their beliefs, trusting in God’s plan and the ultimate triumph of the Church.
