Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq: The historic Mar Kiriakos Chaldean Catholic Church in the village of Sharanish, near Zakho in northern Iraq, was recently vandalized. Videos released in mid-June 2026 show damage inside the church. Mar Kiriakos, believed to be more than 400 years old, is one of two historic Chaldean Catholic churches in Sharanish. No perpetrators have yet been publicly identified.
Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq | Shalom World News An ancient witness of Chaldean Christian faith in Iraq has been desecrated in Sharanish, a historic Christian village near Zakho, close to the Iraq–Turkey border. Video from inside Mar Kiriakos Church shows extensive vandalism, with sacred spaces damaged and church property destroyed. The incident has left the local community mourning the incident, which is another blow to a village that has endured years of instability and displacement. Sharanish, home to the Chaldean churches of Mart Shmune and Mar Kiriakos, remains a symbol of the ancient Christian presence in Mesopotamia. As investigations continue, the faithful hold on to a message carried through centuries: a wounded church can still be a living testimony of faith.
Churches in communion with Rome Who are the Christians of Iraq? A long history … After periods of Mongol, Turkoman, and Safavid rule, Mesopotamia fell under the Ottomans, whose empire lasted until the First World War in the early 20th century. It was during the Ottoman period that the East and West Syriac Churches – the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Syriac (or Syrian) Catholic Church, respectively – were formed. The Syriac Catholic Church was created when a Jacobite patriarch united with Rome in the 18th century. The Bishops who did not enter into full communion with Rome formed the Syriac Orthodox Church. Today’s Chaldean Catholic Church dates from 1830, when the historical patriarchate of the Church of the East was united with an earlier Chaldean branch created in the 17th century. An even-earlier Chaldean union from the 16th century subsequently separated from Rome and developed into what are today the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East. Rich history …'Besdal
Do not be afraid! Sunday 21 of June 2026 - XII of the O.T. Jesus, in the passage from Matthew's Gospel that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, June 21, for three times invites his disciples to not be afraid! Actually, choosing to live as Jesus’ disciple, doing the will of His Father, that is: making life, joy and peace triumph in the hearts of our brothers and sisters with the greater power of His love, can arouse envy and jealousy in those who have made evil and the destruction of life their "reason for being". But the good news of the Gospel is precisely this: with Jesus we are more than victorious. We win when we win, but we win above all when we "lose" our lives out of love for God and for our brothers.

From Head Knowledge To Holy Living The Gospel reading highlights the difference between intellectually accepting the truth of Jesus as the Son of God and living that truth. While Peter professed his faith, he struggled to understand the practical implications of Jesus’s mission, including suffering and death. This journey of faith requires purification through suffering, allowing us to truly live as members of Christ, embracing both His passion and resurrection. Fr.

The homosexual group Outreach, founded and led by the homosexual activist James Martin SJ, organises its annual conference on June 19-21 at the Jesuit-run Georgetown University. From 2021 to 2024, Francis sent an endorsement message. In 2026, two US Cardinals support the homosexual conference. Outreach published endorsement letters by Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington and Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago (below). Cardinal McElroy wrote on June 19 that he is “delighted” to welcome the homosexual group in Washington, adding: “For I know that the Holy Spirit will be profoundly present in our meetings and discussions at this key time in the history of our Church and our nation.” He wrote that the conference is taking place “at a moment when the pastoral foundations laid by Pope Francis for authentic ministry to and with the LGBT community are being deepened and refined by Pope Leo.” Cardinal McElroy further stressed that the conference comes “directly after the release of Study …'Besdal
Two videos on Fatima and Russia with John Vennari and Father Gruner. -------- I have left some things below which is important as well as the video's. They go hand in hand. Please read it. Many Catholics have learned a lot about Russia and Putin. We followed their laws and watched and heard many things President Putin said and did. This is why many live or moving to Russia. Mainly those from the SSPX. Not only to escape persecution but because Russia is the only country in the world that fights against all evils trying to destroy the world. In one of the videos Father Gruner says something I have tried to explain. Especially to one person more than once. ------- Our Lady is paving the way for The Consecration! She is preparing her by and with President Putin who brought the faith back to the people. Leading them bravely against the evils of the West and US. ------- President Putin while he is President will never allow his country to be taken over by any evil of communism, socialism, …'Besdal
The Diocese of Arlington, in Northern Virginia, has announced the creation of a new apostolate entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP), Bishop Michael Burbidge announced on June 19. Father Jonathan Romanoski FSSP and Father John Audino FSSP have been appointed to the Chaplaincy. Following the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes in 2021, the Diocese of Arlington experienced a unprecedented eradication of Masses in the Roman rite. With 21 locations, Arlington Diocese was one of the strongest for the Roman Rite in the United States. In 2022, the Diocese of Arlington reduced the number of "permitted" Mass locations from 21 to 8. Of those eight locations, only three - Saint Rita in Alexandria, Saint John the Beloved in McLean, and Saint Anthony of Padua Mission in Falls Church - received Vatican permission to continue Masses in parish churches. The remaining five communities were relocated to non-parish churches. #newsYopiywpnrj
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira It seems that the impact of Brazilians’ gestures and achievements abroad is reported inconsistently in our country. Telegrams from overseas inform us about the reception of certain literary figures, especially left-wingers or Dom Helder Camara. No Brazilian has received publicity comparable to his since Getúlio Vargas. However, I believe many individuals outside this select group achieve undeniable success abroad that goes unreported. I know of at least one notable case worth sharing. _______________ * * * _______________ Attorney Fábio Vidigal Xavier da Silveira, a young and energetic member of TFP’s National Council, is a farmer on the outskirts of Amparo.

Bishop Richard Williamson (+ January 2025) allegedly confirmed to Sean Johnson that he had conditionally consecrated a Archbishop Carlo Viganò, 85, a bishop in 2023. Johnson published a 2023 email from Williamson on Seraphim54.substack.com on June 19. Johnson is a former seminarian of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) and father of nine children who now attends Mass at the US-based Congregation of Saint Pius V (CSPV), a splinter group from the FSSPX. Johnson's publication is consistent with information previously received by Gloria.tv from independent ecclesiastical sources. Viganò was consecrated a bishop by Pope John Paul II in 1992. Since 2023, a persistent rumour about the conditional [second] consecration of Viganò has circulated. Johnson’s article claims that he emailed Viganò twice in November and December 2023 asking about those rumours but didn’t receive a reply. Then, Johnson contacted Williamson. The central statement attributed to Bishop Williamson regarding …'Besdal
God bless Bishop Williamson. Perhaps Vigano was "Conditionally Confirmed" by Williamson but that doesn't take away from the fact that Vigano is playing all sides, especially "holy Russia's." I do not doubt the validity of Williamson's act but whether Vigano was in a state to be able to receive it.
[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 this devoted soul looking in the Divine mirror saw the creatures going in diverse ways. Then that soul, tormented with intense desire, gazing into the sweet Divine mirror, saw creatures setting out to attain their end in diverse ways and with diverse considerations. She saw that many began to mount, feeling themselves pricked by servile fear, that is, fearing their own personal pain, and she saw others, practising this first state, arriving at the second state, but few she saw who arrived at the greatest perfection. How servile fear is not sufficient, without the love of virtue, to give eternal life ; and how the law of fear and that of love are united. Then the goodness of God, wishing to satisfy the desire of that soul, said, " Dost thou see those ? They have arisen with servile fear from the …'Besdal
"The new law is the law of love, given by the Word of My only-begotten Son, and is founded in love alone. The new law does not break the old law, but rather fulfils it, as said My Truth, 'I come not to destroy the law, but to fulfil it.’ And He united the law of fear with that of love. Through love was taken away the imperfection of the fear of the penalty, and the perfection of holy fear remained, that is, the fear of offending, not on account of one's own damnation, but of offending Me, who am Supreme Good."

Jun 20 Father's Day: the best government policy for the family is to promote fatherhood This weekend, June 21, in Canada and the United States we celebrate Father's Day. What exactly are we celebrating? That we a have a crisis of the absent father? That too many children grow up without a father? That children raised without a father have a lot more difficulties in life? Of course none this is ever mentioned by those in charge of our institutions like schools and governments.

The York Revolution is an American professional baseball team based in York, Pennsylvania. It is a member of the North Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an independent "partner league" of Major League Baseball.
A Pennsylvania minor league baseball team has forfeited a scheduled game after several players refused to wear special jerseys planned for the organization’s annual Pride Night event. The York Revolution announced Tuesday that its June 18 game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs would not be played after multiple players objected to wearing uniforms created for the promotion. “It is with great disappointment that the York Revolution have issued important changes to our 11th Annual Pride Night on Thursday, June 18,” the team said in a statement. “Most significantly, the scheduled game between York and Southern Maryland will not be played and Pride will still be hosted as a free admission event.” According to the team, several players informed club officials they would not participate if required to wear the Pride Night jerseys. Rather than compel players to wear the uniforms, the organization opted to cancel the game while proceeding with the event. “Unfortunately, several of …
