A Story of Two Cathedrals – Catholic Worker Movement
This spring I travelled from my home in Iowa to join Catholic Workers and friends from around the country in New York to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of our movement there on May 1, 1933. An added incentive for this journey was to join with activists from around the globe in witnesses for nuclear abolition on the occasion of the United Nations’ Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference that began on Monday, May 3. It was at the May Day festivities that the word was passed that the archbishop of Nagasaki, Japan, who was in town to address the U.N. conference, would be celebrating the 10:15 Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral the next day and several of us decided we would attend. As Martha Hennessy, visiting from Vermont, and I came out of the subway to walk the final few blocks to the cathedral, we were struck by the number of Japanese pilgrims of all ages on the streets of Midtown, greeting New Yorkers and tourists with gifts of origami cranes, gathering petition signatures,…

Today once again, sadly, there is talk of nuclear war. We must heed the terrible lesson of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Mary of Hibuska, pray for us!
"Canada protects trees—Now protect preborn children"
We just signed the petition launched by Campaign Life Coalitionthat "Canada protects trees—Now protect preborn children." Many Gloria TV readers read our post about the issue, Quebec town goes off the deep end: recognizes trees have the right to life. In Canada, sadly, there is no legal protection for the baby in the womb from conception to natural birth. A baby can be aborted at any time during pregnancy. And even some born babies are left to die each year with no criminal charges. Message to the rest of the world: don't be Canada. The petition addressed to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Minister of Justice, and Members of Parliament states: A Quebec town recently recognized trees as living beings with rights, including the “right to life.” Trees deserve care. But what about children in the womb?In Canada, preborn children have no legal protection. Since the 1988 Morgentaler decision, Parliament has failed to pass a law protecting the youngest and most vulnerable members of the human …
What a marvelous opportunity parents have in bringing new life into the world. How tragic that so many today want no more children to be born.
for the beautiful baby.
Ornate Catholic church was on the brink of closing... until priest came up with extraordinary old-fashioned idea that made attendance boom
An ornate Catholic church was on the brink of closure but now sees hundreds of faithful flock to its pews for Mass each week thanks to a priest's extraordinary idea. St Francis de Sales Oratory was founded in 1867 by a group of German immigrants who settled in St Louis, Missouri. The gorgeous church became a landmark in the midwestern city and for decades served parishioners of more than a dozen nationalities. But as families started moving out to the suburbs, the church, dubbed the Cathedral of south St Louis, saw a massive drop in parishioners, the church website states. St Francis de Sales was closed by the Archdiocese of St Louis in June 2005, and the church was forced to merge with another local parish. The church was scheduled to be torn down and sold, but was saved that July when Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke made the church an Oratory where Mass is strictly administered in Latin. St Francis de Sales is now one of about 450 churches across the country that regularly celebrate the …

Archdiocese of Chicago's memorial to suicide and Church teaching
The Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich has pushed for the support of the lgbtq+ community. The bishop also backs a synodal church, and most recently his archdiocese dedicated a memorial at the Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside for lives lost by suicide. This kind of memorial, called "At Peace," is first in the Catholic Church. But is this Catholic teaching about life and death? More about this question later. Here's the archdiocesan announcement: Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Chicago will host a prayer service and dedication of the “At Peace” memorial at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside on Friday, June 26 at 1 p.m. for surviving families and loves ones affected by suicide. The memorial will honor the lives lost to suicide and offer a sacred space for prayer and remembrance. The Archdiocese of Chicago is the first Catholic archdiocese in the United States to create a memorial in a Catholic cemetery for survivors and lives lost to suicide. “This shrine stands …
If one wants to appreciate how much good we have without God, know what the difference is between murder and suicide: none.
Église conciliaire et impiétés à tous les niveaux
Le diocèse de Gurk-Klagenfurt, Allemagne, parraine la gay-pride à Villach A l’heure où la Tradition dans toutes ses composantes est écartée par les hiérarques modernistes, dans l’église conciliaire l’impiété sous toutes ses formes est à tous les niveaux. Petit tour d’horizon de ses derniers reniements de la foi catholique. Turin et ses églises inclusives A Turin, en Italie, l’église Saint François d’Assise, du XIIIe siècle, qui a conservé le Saint Suaire pendant sept ans après son transfert de Chambéry, et qui demeure à ce jour une église catholique active de l’archidiocèse de Turin, avec des messes et des offices réguliers, est devenue… le siège liturgique stable de la Communauté évangélique luthérienne de Turin. C’est-à-dire de ceux que l’Église catholique dans sa doctrine traditionnelle nomme des hérétiques. Ainsi, dans cette église catholique, dépendante de l’ordinaire du lieu, le cardinal Roberto Repole, évêque du diocèse, celui qui soi-dit en passant délègue son pouvoir au curé de …
"An Entire Village Celebrates a New Priest in Lebanon"
Watch this inspiring video as "An Entire Village Celebrates a New Priest in Lebanon." It's a story that will warm your heart and soul. From the description pasted on You Tube we read: From the ancient Maronite village of Deir El Ahmar in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, we witnessed one of the most beautiful moments in the life of the Church: the ordination of a new priest. This is the story of an entire community gathered around one vocation as Deacon Johnny Kozah is ordained to the priesthood, becoming Father Johnny Kozah. From the joyful procession through the village to the sacred Divine Liturgy, and finally Father Johnny’s First Divine Liturgy and celebration, this documentary offers a glimpse into a tradition where faith is truly lived. In Deir El Ahmar, we were reminded that the Church is not built of stones, but of people gathered in Christ. Through monks, nuns, priests, seminarians, and laypeople, Christ’s mission continues to flourish from one generation to the next. We hope this film …
I pray God will bless him, and Our Lady protect him.

King Charles announced that Britain will implement Digital ID
What is happening in Britain presently will surely come to Canada and the entire West. King Charles officially announced recently that the UK government will move to implement Digital ID. Who instructed him and the British government to take this Orwellian step? Of course the citizenry was never consulted. It's a terrible move to completely monitor and control people. In the video posted below, Dan Dicks of Press For Truth says Digital ID establishes "the foundation for centralized surveillance, financial tracking, behaviour monitoring, and programmable control. The 'modernization' spin is just the cover story." In short, King Charles is lying to the British people. The decision has been made "Despite nearly 3 million Brits signing a petition against it, the plan is moving forward anyway. And Canada is already in lockstep, with the EU-Canada Digital Partnership and the new GC Wallet app already under development. This isn’t coming tomorrow… it’s being built right now." We used to criticize …
Yes, who is funding this attack on the plebeians...take a guess!

The Orillia, Ontario, Champlain Monument Controversy, Part II
The Orillia, Ontario, Champlain Monument Controversy Pert II, (Note: Part I may be found Here.) In light of the controversy surrounding Orillia’s Champlain monument, what does history truly say about Champlain? What was his relationship with Indigenous peoples? Samuel de Champlain (c. 1567-1635) was a French navigator, explorer, cartographer, soldier and colonial administrator. He’s recognized as the Father of Canada and founder of Quebec City. In his 1948 book, Champlain, The Life of Fortitude, Cornell University Professor Morris Bishop wrote that there was a “trinity of purposes in Champlain’s mind: business, exploration and Christianization.” During the early 1600’s Champlain’s courage helped him to overcome the hardships and dangers he faced while exploring the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes region and promoting the fur trade with the Indigenous. He sought the cooperation of the Wendat (Hurons) who were the middlemen in the Great Lakes fur trade and, by 1615, the economic and military …

Canada's shame: crowm appeals the Barber and Lich aquittals
The Liberal government persecution against Tamara Lich and Chris Barber continues. This is truly Canada's shame. The Crown has appealed the acquittals and sentences of these two Freedom Convoy organizers from 2022. It's political persecution. And a complete waste of tens of millions of tax dollars. All for what? To put fear and silence Canadians. What "crime" did these two people commit? They led the battle against the vaccine mandates and lockdowns. They exercised their democratic right to defend freedom. Lich and Barber are average Canadians who stood strong against a Liberal government that refused to listen and represent the people. In fact, former PM Justin Trudeau declared martial law to crush the Ottawa peaceful protest. He's the man who ought to be charged with a real crime against Canadians. The appeal by the Crown is scheduled to be heard in the spring of 2027. The long show-trail process has become part of the punishment. These two Canadians will have spent over five years …
Cultural Marxism has such a foot hold in Canada the CBC tv corp planted the seeds of materialism on TV idiot box that hypnotise generations into group think. God is dead without saying it out load.
This Canadian long court case is nothing more than political persecution. What a waste of millions of tax dollars.
The Unity of the Church
This is a good time to read over the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the topic of "The Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church." It's mainly covered in paragraphs 811-821. The entire section on Church Unity ends with a summary at paragraph 870. (Note: to make it easier to read I have removed the footnotes, but they can be found in the link provided above.) Let us pray for unity of our Mother the Church. "This is the sole Church of Christ, which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic." These four characteristics, inseparably linked with each other, indicate essential features of the Church and her mission. the Church does not possess them of herself; it is Christ who, through the Holy Spirit, makes his Church one, holy, catholic, and apostolic, and it is he who calls her to realize each of these qualities. Only faith can recognize that the Church possesses these properties from her divine source. But their historical manifestations …
