Illustration AI generator by Eric Utter Apparently, the law in New Brunswick, Canada, pertaining to organ donations reads: The Chief Coroner may allow the removal of organs or tissue after the death of a person notwithstanding that death has not yet occurred if, (a) in the opinion of a physician the death of the person is imminent by reason of injury or disease … … along with a couple of other requirements. “Notwithstanding that death has not yet occurred?” What kind of verbiage is that? Translated from the leftist legalese claptrap this means, “even if the person is still alive.” Has Canada gotten so cozy with communist China that it is replicating what the CCP does to the Uyghurs and members of Falun Gong? Forced organ “harvesting” is kind of a big deal … or should be. I myself have been diagnosed with a terminal disease, though my expected demise may not technically be “imminent.” I think I’m as generous as the next guy, but all things considered I’d like to keep my heart, …

Humm, but Saint Paul asked for the thorn in his side to be removed three times. Does that mean Paul lacked confidence in God or that St Albert's quote needs a bit of context?
In a chirograph dated 12 February, Pope Leo XIV suppressed the Pontifical Committee for the World Day of Children, established in November 2024 by Francis.. Its president, Fr. Enzo Fortunato, OFM Conv., ceases his role with immediate effect, along with the other members. The committee’s responsibilities are transferred to the Dicastery for the Laity, the Family and Life. At its creation, some observers claimed the body had been set up to provide a job for Fr. Fortunato, a friend of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, OFM Conv. By August 2025 it had already been placed under the Dicastery; it is now fully abolished.
Nel chirografo, il Papa ha dichiarato: “Il Pontificio Comitato per la Giornata Mondiale dei Bambini è soppresso. Il presidente, padre Enzo Fortunato, cessa immediatamente dal suo incarico”.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 --The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord ? For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
We Catholics should thank our God every day that He has given us the faith that allows us to save our souls. God has an infinite love of the Mass because His Son is being offered up to Him. Its value is infinite.

Interview with Archbishop Lefebvre in Écône, of August 2nd, 1976 From Communicantes: August - October 2002 Interview with Archbishop Lefebvre in Écône, of August 2nd, 1976 and published in the French magazine Le Figaro, August 4, 1976. It is important for us to read this text again. --- Le Figaro: "After the suspension 'a divinis' which struck him (in 1976), Archbishop Lefebvre by no means considers to submit. He does not believe in the possibility of a reconciliation with Rome and risks the pronouncement of an excommunication against him and his disciples." --- "Your Excellency, are you not bordering on schism?" --- Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre: "That is the question that many Catholics ask after reading of the latest sanctions taken by Rome against us! Catholics, for the most part, define or imagine schism as a rupture with the Pope. They do not go any further in their investigation. You have ruptured with the Pope or the Pope has ruptured with you, therefore you are going into schism. …Caman
“Christian, recognize your dignity and, now that you share in God's own nature, do not return to your former base condition by sinning. Remember who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Never forget that you have been rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the light of the Kingdom of God." St. Leo the Great, Sermones The sacraments are "the Hope of God's Glory".

[St. Augustine of Hippo – IV-V Century AD; Thagaste, Roman Empire/Hippo, Western Roman Empire; (aged 75) – Church Father – Doctor of the Church – Blessed; Resting Place – Pavia, Italy] “Chapter IV 11 ~ Hence also the sevenfold operation of the Holy Ghost, of which Isaiah speaks, seems to me to correspond to these stages and sentences. But there is a difference of order: for there the enumeration begins with the more excellent, but here with the inferior. For there it begins with wisdom, and closes with the fear of God: but "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." And therefore, if we reckon as it were in a gradually ascending series, there the fear of God is first, piety second, knowledge third, fortitude fourth, counsel fifth, understanding sixth, wisdom seventh. The fear of God corresponds to the humble, of whom it is here said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit," i.e. those not puffed up, not proud: to whom the apostle says, "Be not high-minded, but fear;" i.e. be not lifted …Caman
"12 ~ Moreover, the one reward, which is the kingdom of heaven, is variously named according to these stages. In the first, just as ought to be the case, is placed the kingdom of heaven, which is the perfect and highest wisdom of the rational soul. Thus, therefore, it is said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven:" as if it were said, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
