Book of Ecclesiastes 1,2-11. Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity! What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun? One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays. The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises. Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north, the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds. All rivers go to the sea, yet never does the sea become full. To the place where they go, the rivers keep on going. All speech is labored; there is nothing man can say. The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor is the ear filled with hearing. What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun. Even the thing of which we say, "See, this is new!" has already existed in the ages that preceded us. There is no remembrance of the men of old; nor of those to come will there be any remembrance among those who come …Күберәк
Buch Kohelet 1,2-11. Windhauch, Windhauch, sagte Kohelet, Windhauch, Windhauch, das ist alles Windhauch. Welchen Vorteil hat der Mensch von all seinem Besitz, für den er sich anstrengt unter der Sonne? Eine Generation geht, eine andere kommt. Die Erde steht in Ewigkeit. Die Sonne, die aufging und wieder unterging, atemlos jagt sie zurück an den Ort, wo sie wieder aufgeht. Er weht nach Süden, dreht nach Norden, dreht, dreht, weht, der Wind. Weil er sich immerzu dreht, kehrt er zurück, der Wind. Alle Flüsse fließen ins Meer, das Meer wird nicht voll. Zu dem Ort, wo die Flüsse entspringen, kehren sie zurück, um wieder zu entspringen. Alle Dinge sind rastlos tätig, kein Mensch kann alles ausdrücken, nie wird ein Auge satt, wenn es beobachtet, nie wird ein Ohr vom Hören voll. Was geschehen ist, wird wieder geschehen, was getan wurde, wird man wieder tun: Es gibt nichts Neues unter der Sonne. Zwar gibt es bisweilen ein Ding, von dem es heißt: Sieh dir das an, das ist etwas Neues – aber auch …Күберәк
“I want to bring everybody to Christ — especially… Jews.” 'Conservative' Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester discussed the salvation of non-Christians in an interview with EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo following the release of a new Vatican document on interreligious dialogue. Barron said the covenant with Israel “is fulfilled in Christ,” rejecting the idea of two parallel paths of salvation. “I want to bring everybody to Christ,” Barron said, adding, “especially… Jews.” The Church’s purpose is “always and everywhere to everybody” to proclaim Jesus Christ as Savior, he said. Asked how much doctrinal weight Catholics should give the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate, Barron replied that “there are elements in it that really belong to the doctrine of the Church,” including human dignity and Christianity’s grounding in the revelation given to Israel.

‘HOW GOD MAKES USE OF PURGATORY…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; Chapters XVII; pp. 48-52; part II [Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] I am sensible of all these things I have described as it were by sight and touch, but I cannot find fitting words to express myself as I could wish. I have said what I have, because I was conscious of its going on spiritually within me. The prison in which I fancy myself shut up is the world ; the chain by which I am held is the body ; the soul enlightened is she who, knowing well the grievousness of being detained and kept back by any hindrance from reaching her end, suffers thereby great pain, inasmuch as she is very tender. God, by His grace, bestows upon her a dignity which makes her like God, and not only like God, but even one with Him through participating in His goodness ; and as it is impossible that God …Күберәк
"...the soul remains in suffering great in proportion to its appreciation of God. This appreciation of God grows with its knowledge of God ; and its knowledge is greater the more it is free from sin : and the delay becomes more and more terrible, because the soul wholly immersed in God, knows Him without error, there being no thing in the way to prevent such knowledge."
Fox News Finds Itself at Odds With Trump on Press Ban The home of Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham has joined rival networks in suspending its coverage of pooled presidential events. nytimes.com/…09/23/business/media/fox-trump-press… By Michael M. Grynbaum Sept. 23, 2026, 1:00 p.m. ET Fox News’s bond with President Trump is undeniable. Prime time stars like Sean Hannity and Jesse Watters cheerlead his policies, the president’s daughter-in-law hosts a weekly show on the network, and Fox’s founder, Rupert Murdoch, attended Mr. Trump’s nominating convention in 2024. Nonetheless, this week Fox News has joined other networks in standing up for the rival media outlets that Mr. Trump decried as “fake” and banned from the White House — and two senior Fox journalists emerged as lead actors in the White House press corps’s standoff with the administration. At a glance, it’s an unlikely position for Fox News, wrought in part by history and in part by sheer coincidence. And it’s confused some liberal …Күберәк
There was once a man who went his entire life without getting married. When he was ninety years old and lying on his deathbed, one of his relatives finally asked him a question everyone had wondered about for years. “You never married, but you never really told us why. Now that you’re at the end of your life, can you tell us the truth? If there’s some secret behind it, you may as well share it now.” The old man smiled faintly. “Yes, there is a reason,” he said. “It’s not that I was against marriage. I simply spent my life looking for the perfect woman.” He paused for a moment. “I traveled, met countless people, and kept believing that somewhere out there I would find the one person who had everything I was looking for. Before I knew it, the years had passed.” His relative stared at him. “You mean to tell me that in all those years, in a world filled with millions of women, you never found even one who was perfect?” A tear rolled down the old man’s cheek. “Oh, I found her,” he said.

A Mexican diocese and the country’s bishops’ conference have called on authorities to carry out a thorough investigation after a Catholic priest was found dead this week in a region known for organized crime.
Restructuring in Spain Along the Lines of the German Synod: Example of the Diocese of León. The Diocese of León has announced major changes for the 2026–27 year. Bishop Luis Ángel de las Heras has appointed two women as episcopal delegates to increase female participation in diocesan governance. The diocesan seminary will close, and its seven seminarians will move to Salamanca as plans advance for an interdiocesan seminary. New pastoral areas will focus on sport, women’s participation, bereavement and work. The Claretian Missionaries will close their residence in León after 57 years. A diocesan synodal assembly is planned for April 2027.

A mother is still a mother. One day, a woman walked into a doctor’s office carrying her three-month-old baby. “Doctor,” she said, “I think his ear hurts.” The doctor examined the baby and nodded. “You’re right. He has an ear infection.” He wrote a prescription, handed it to her, and she thanked him and started toward the door. I was standing nearby, completely puzzled. “Excuse me,” I said. “Your baby is only three months old. He can’t even tell you what hurts. How did you know it was his ear?” She smiled. “You’re surprised about the ear?” she said. “I know this baby better than I know myself. I know the way he cries when he’s hungry, when he’s tired, when he wants to be held, and when something hurts. I know when he normally sleeps, when he wakes up, how much he eats, and what every little change in his behavior means. I’m his mother.” Then she continued. “When something hurts, everything changes. Sleep changes. Feeding changes. The cry changes. Last night, he wasn’t crying the way he …Күберәк

Leo XIV claims that Christ founded a “religious movement” - in direct contradiction to Church teaching and the Gospel. The recently published document The Path of Hope was signed by the heads of three Vatican dicasteries and approved by Leo XIV on 22 June. It states in §10: “Early Christianity developed from the movement initiated by Jesus and his disciples, distinguishing itself from the various forms of Judaism over time.” That’s the liberal Protestant view associated with figures such as Albert Schweitzer. It clashes with propositions explicitly condemned by St Pius X in Lamentabili sane. Condemned sentences are: §59: Christ “inaugurated a religious movement adapted to, or to be adapted to, different times and places.” §60: “Christian doctrine was originally Judaic. Through successive evolutions, it first became Pauline, then Joannine and finally Hellenic and universal.” Catholic teaching states: Christ did not merely initiate a movement that gradually became Christianity. He …Күберәк
And that’s where Chabad came in. Not long after Putin took power, he worked out a deal with Chabad. The organization would have to publicly and loudly support Putin’s policies, and defend him against charges of antisemitism. In return, it would receive lavish funding from two Putin-friendly oligarchs, and get the full support of the Russian government to operate in the Russian Federation.
Cardinal Müller called for a return to true masculinity based on courage, sacrifice and responsibility. Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller joined the Pilgrimage of Men with Families to the Shrine of the First Martyrs of Poland in Międzyrzecz on September 12, blessing plaques marking the 1,060th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland. Speaking about male fidelity, Müller said: “The world today is trying to redefine masculinity.” He pointed to the Międzyrzecz martyrs as men willing to defend what is sacred to the end, defining a “true man” as one “who builds on a firm foundation and is capable of suffering for higher values.” The martyrs, robbed and murdered at night († 1003) in their monastery, were ordinary flesh-and-blood men, not legendary heroes, Müller said. He added that masculine victory often arises through steadfast responsibility for those entrusted to one’s care.
Kard. Gerhard Müller zaapelował o powrót do „prawdziwej męskości”, odrzucając utożsamianie jej z dominacją i stanem konta. Prawdziwy mężczyzna „buduje na mocnym fundamencie, potrafi cierpieć dla wyższych wartości i dogląda granic swojego królestwa”.
Cardinal Mario Grech has said the Church is “synodal by nature” — “there is room for everyone” but immediately added that it remains hierarchical by nature. Asked about Germany’s still-pending Synodal Conference, His Eminence declined to comment and referred the matter to the Dicastery for Bishops. The 2028 ecclesial assembly, he added, is not a continuation of the 2021–24 Synod.
Manitoba, Canada, is piloting a new health and physical education curriculum during the 2026–27 school year. More than two dozen schools are participating in the voluntary trial, which will help refine the curriculum before wider implementation. The draft includes significant changes to sexual-health education: In Grade 3, children (8–9 years old) learn about gender identities, including non-binary. In Grade 5, the curriculum introduces masturbation and different sexual and romantic attractions. By Grade 7, students (12–13 years old) are taught about vaginal, oral and anal "sex". Grade 8 covers abortion as a pregnancy option alongside parenting and adoption.

Vatican employees are asking Pope Leo XIV for compensation for salary losses that they say could cost some workers thousands of euros - including through lower pensions and end-of-service payments. Leo XIV lifted the Covid-era salary restrictions introduced by Pope Francis in 2021, but his September decree did not restore the seniority increases employees lost during a two-year freeze. The Association of Vatican Lay Employees (ADLV), representing about 850 workers, is now asking the Vatican to address those losses through compensation, a one-off payment or another corrective measure.
