"Think of a great solid iron ball, larger than the heavens and the earth. A bird comes once in a hundred millions of years and just touches the great iron ball with a feather of its wing. Think that you have to burn in a fire till the bird has worn the great iron ball away with its feather. Is this eternity? No."
‘The Sight of Hell’ by Rev. John Furniss, C.S.S.R.; 1882; Chapter XXXI; Pages 15-16; ‘Eternity’; XXXI. Eternity ~ Matt. xxv. These shall go into everlasting punishment. There is one thing which could change hell into heaven. An angel of God comes to the gates of hell and says: "Listen to me, all ye people in hell, for I bring you good news. You will still burn in hell for almost countless millions of years. But a day will come, and on that day the pains of hell will be no more! You will go out of hell." If such a message came, hell would no longer be hell. Hell would no longer be a house of blasphemy, but a house of prayer and thanksgiving and joy. But such a message will never come to hell, because God has said that the punishment of hell shall be everlasting! The Question You say what is meant by everlasting? It is both easy and difficult to answer this question. It is easy to say that the pains of hell will last for ever, and never have any and. It is difficult to answer the question …Kara
Leo XIV-appointed, divorced Prefetessa for Media calls her appointment “bizarre”. Montserrat Alvarado, 39, is the first American, the first woman and the youngest prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, she told EWTN in an interview broadcast on October 23. She added, unprompted: “I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre.” Alvarado spoke about annulment almost as if it were a Church-sanctioned divorce: “I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do.” A bizarre remark from her: “I don't think that's why I was chosen.”
Vatican Media Prefect "Montse" admits herself: "I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre. And I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do. There's a lot of confusion around that, and I think that's, for whatever reason, I don't think that's why I was chosen, but there's providence in everything, right? All of our mistakes and all of our flaws, our Lord uses everything for good."

Islam is a “magnificent faith” for Italian bishops. During the presentation of 11 teaching materials for Catholic religion classes in Italian schools, Rev. Valentino Cottini, former rector of the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI), praised Islam. The presentation was attended by the presiding Italian Cardinal, Matteo Zuppi. Rev. Cottini said that the school materials provide "an objective and empathetic presentation of Islam that does not shy away from difficulties, but illustrates this magnificent faith and splendid culture". The materials were developed jointly by Christian and Muslim scholars with the backing of the Italian Bishops' Conference.
"Insomma, credo sia uscita una presentazione dell'Islam oggettiva ed empatica che non rifugge dalle difficoltà, ma illustra questa magnifica fede e questa splendida cultura nei suoi nuclei fondanti e anche in alcune delle sue più attuali forme espressive." Padre Valentino Cottini, già rettore del Pontificio Istituto di Studi Arabi e d’Islamistica (PISAI), durante la presentazione delle «Schede per conoscere l’Islam», Palazzo Borromeo, Roma, 21 ottobre 2026.
Leo XIV will reportedly receive three years of cancer immunotherapy despite an earlier Vatican statement to the contrary. Pope Leo XIV will receive preventive immunotherapy with pembrolizumab for at least three years to reduce the risk of cancer returning, journalist Mirticeli Medeiros of GloboNews reported on October 23. He referred to sources at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The Pope will not undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The report contradicts an official statement issued just two days earlier. On October 21, the Holy See Press Office announced that the Pope’s doctors had concluded that no further treatment was necessary following his lung cancer surgery. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung during an operation on October 13. According to Medeiros, the tumour measured 2.5 centimetres and tested positive for PD-L1, a protein that can help cancer cells evade the immune system. Pembrolizumab works by helping the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. The …Kara
Poor beautiful Italy. Did the people actually vote for this? Or was it forced on them? Was there a vote? Was it fixed? I don't believe the Italian people wanted this.
No alternatives dates were offered to the Summorum Pontificum Mass and the previously granted permission was withdrawn. Edward Pentin reports on X.com that organisers of the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage were not offered an alternative date to celebrate Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. He added that the Vatican’s August 7 letter simply stated that the basilica was unavailable, without mentioning any conflicting events. In recent days, it has been argued that the Franciscan anniversary celebrations in St Peter's basilica had been planned for years. @Michael Haynes wrote that the specific event at the Altar of the Chair was announced only in September, after the pilgrimage’s request for Mass had been refused in August. As for the prohibited procession, customary security restrictions have been cited as an excuse. Yet Haynes reports that permission to process into the Vatican had already been granted in April, only to be withdrawn the day before the pilgrimage. #newsUhvemzsmjm
The Pope of Applause. Today, Leo XIV received a seemingly endless ovation from charismatic Catholics of the Jesus Youth movement, founded in Kerala, southern India, in the 1970s. They shouted “Woo!” and “Woo-hoo!” He responded with a broad smile (wait the whole minute for it). Such applause is routine for Leo XIV. He allows himself to be applauded, cheered and acclaimed every day, sometimes several times a day. One wonders how any ordinary man can endure such constant immersion in adulation.
Leo XIV receiving a warm welcome this morning from Charismatic Catholics mostly from Kerala in southern India.
He's right here ~ Archbp. Marcel Lefebvre ~ For it is a masterstroke of Satan to get Catholics to disobey the whole Tradition in the name of obedience.
I once brought a picture of him to my Priest to Bless. He turned his head and chuckled. But he did Bless it. Who can't see he was called by GOD and inspired by The Holy Ghost to actually do something about saving The Church, Faith and Holy Mass and the Priesthood. He was brave and determined and didn't back down. Persecuted and they lied about him. But he saw it through and didn't back down one bit.
S.D. Wright Oct 10, 2026 ‘Positive doubt’ doesn’t mean ‘particular evidence’: More on conditional ordination and Novus Ordo priests It’s claimed that a bishop must be convinced there is positive doubt before proceeding to conditional repetition of a sacrament. This is true – but it can be significantly misunderstood. In the previous piece, we reported on the penalties inflicted on two priests – Fr Philip Conklin and Fr David Mary – for their association with the SSPX. Priests punished for associating with SSPX – PLUS A survey of SSPX views on the validity of Novus Ordo orders In light of this, we published an advance copy of the fourth and final part of our series on Archbishop Lefebvre and the reformed rites of the sacraments: Archbishop Lefebvre & Conditional Confirmations—His pastoral practice explained Archbishop Lefebvre & Conciliar Sacraments—Do they ‘come from the Church?’ Archbishop Lefebvre & Conciliar Ordinations—Practical Doubt The SSPX and Conciliar Ordinations – Survey of …Kara
Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop Who Offered to Pachamama Today, Leo XIV appointed Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera O.S.A., 52, of Cuzco, Peru, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of the same Archdiocese. He will thus be the successor to Archbishop Richard Daniel Alarcón Urrutia, 74. Just two weeks ago, the new Archbishop offered to the idol Pachamama. Leo XIV Personally Formed Estrada Born in Cotabambas in 1973, Monsignor Estrada joined the Augustinians and was ordained a priest in 2005. Pope Francis appointed Estrada auxiliary bishop of Cuzco in January 2021. In May 2025, Bishop Estrada told VaticanNews.va, that Leo XIV was already his professor, his spiritual director within the Augustinians, and then his Prior General. Finally they served together within the Peruvian episcopate. Bishop Prevost was a concelebrant at the priestly ordination of Estrada and his episcopal co-consecrator. Estrada Participated in Pachamama Ritual On August 13-14, 2026, Bishop Estrada helped inaugurate a …Kara
Vatican II Church Permits Protestants and Orthodox to Receive Catholic Communion in Particular Cases - The recent beatification ceremony for Archbishop Fulton Sheen, a man whose popularity extended also to many non-Catholics on account of his nationwide radio and television prominence, has drawn renewed attention to a little-known law that has been on the books in the Vatican II Church since the 1980s. Over 43 years ago, Pope John Paul II enshrined in official church law a permission for Protestants and Eastern Orthodox to receive Holy Communion and two other sacraments under certain circumstances — but without renouncing their respective religions.
