On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Umberto Longo, Director of the Italian Historical Institute for the Middle Ages in Rome and Professor of Medieval History at the secular Sapienza University of Rome, as a member of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. The online footprint of Umberto Longo repeatedly places that name - and, in later cases, an identifiable Professor Longo - within the institutional environment of Italian Freemasonry and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The examples span a decade. 2013 - Scottish Rite, Lazio: The Masonic publication LOGOS identifies a certain “Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°” as an officer of the Loggia di Perfezione Maestri Segreti “Giano” in Rome. The publication introduces a series of texts under the heading: “Le Tavole del Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°.” The abbreviation Fr. is used throughout for Fratello - “Brother” - while the number identifies the Scottish Rite degree. More importantly, the issue contains the official 2013 officers …More
1) Ezekiel 9:4; Yahweh said to him, “Go through the city, through Jerusalem, and mark with a CROSS the foreheads of the people who groan and lament over all the abominations committed within it.” 2) Ezekiel 9:5–6; And I heard Him say to the others, “Go through the city after him and strike. Show no mercy; spare no one—kill the old, the young, the virgins, the children, and the women—until not a single one remains. But do not touch anyone who has the CROSS on his forehead. 3) Revelation 7:2-3; Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, and he had the Seal of the Living God; and he cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given authority to harm the earth and the sea: “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4) Revelation 9:1-4; The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the heaven to the earth. He was given the key to the bottomless pit. He opened the bottomless …More
PIECZĘĆ Żywego Boga (Objawienie 7:2-3). „Pan zna tych, którzy są Jego” (2 List do Tymoteusza 2:19) 1) Ezechiel 9:4; Jahwe rzekł do niego: „Przejdź przez miasto, przez Jerozolimę, i naznacz KRZYŻEM czoła ludzi, którzy jęczą i lamentują nad wszystkimi obrzydliwościami popełnionymi w nim”. 2) Ezechiel 9:5–6; I usłyszałem, jak rzekł do pozostałych: „Przejdźcie za nim przez miasto i zabijajcie. Nie okazujcie litości, nie oszczędzajcie nikogo – zabijajcie starych, młodych, dziewice, dzieci i kobiety – aż nie pozostanie ani jeden. Ale nie dotykajcie nikogo, kto ma KRZYŻ na czole”. 3) Objawienie 7:2–3; Potem ujrzałem innego anioła, który przybywał ze wschodu, a miał Pieczęć Boga Żywego; i zawołał donośnym głosem do czterech aniołów, którym dano władzę, by wyrządzali krzywdę ziemi i morzu: „Nie wyrządzajcie krzywdy ziemi, morzu ani drzewom, dopóki nie opieczętujemy czoła sług naszego Boga”. 4) Objawienie 9:1-4; Piąty anioł zadął w trąbę, a ja ujrzałem gwiazdę, która spadła z nieba na ziemię. …More
Life in the Making It all begins in silence: one cell meets another, and in an instant, a new, unique, and unrepeatable life emerges. The imagery unfolds ceaselessly—division, form, heartbeat—until there is no longer any doubt about what we are seeing: not a mass of tissue, but a tiny body, joined to its mother by a cord that serves as both bridge and lifeline. Hands reaching out, legs curled up, a face settling into sleep just as any human being does. And therein lies the wrenching realization: that very being—already capable of movement, sensation, and resembling us—is the one whose life is chosen to be ended in a late-term abortion. It is not an abstract cell that is being stopped; it is a story that already possessed form, expression, and a heartbeat of its own. That is why those who defend life from conception describe such a decision—particularly in the later stages—as an act of special cruelty: because the biological development itself, revealed without filters, leaves little room …More
Vida en construcción Todo empieza en silencio: una célula se encuentra con otra y, en un instante, surge una vida nueva, única, irrepetible. La imagen avanza sin pausa —división, forma, latido— hasta que ya no queda duda de lo que estamos viendo: no una masa de tejido, sino un cuerpo pequeño, unido a su madre por un cordón que es puente y sustento a la vez. Manos que se buscan, piernas recogidas, un rostro que empieza a dormir como duerme cualquier ser humano. Y ahí está el desgarro: ese mismo ser, capaz ya de moverse, de sentir, de parecerse a nosotros, es el que en un aborto a término se decide interrumpir. No es una célula abstracta lo que se detiene: es una historia que ya tenía forma, gesto, latido propio. Por eso quienes defienden la vida desde la concepción llaman a esa decisión, en sus etapas más avanzadas, un acto especialmente cruel: porque el propio desarrollo biológico, mostrado sin filtros, deja poco espacio para la indiferencia. Quien defiende el valor de la vida desde la …More

Joyous Feast Day St Maximilian Kolbe in meditation for tomorrow’s grandeur. In 1854, the Blessed Virgin Mary proclaimed to St. Bernadette Soubirous: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” “Who are you, O Immaculate Conception?” asks St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe. The Knight of the Immaculata In the words of St. Maximilian, the Blessed Virgin is the Created Immaculate Conception, as the Holy Spirit is the Uncreated Immaculate Conception. In the words of St. Francis of Assisi, Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son as the perfect and infinite Love between the Father and the Son in the Eternal interior life of the Blessed Trinity. Thus, the Holy Spirit is truly all the love of the Most Holy Trinity. “Hence the Holy Spirit is an uncreated conception, an eternal one; he is the prototype of every sort of human conception in the universe… [He] is a most holy conception, infinitely holy, immaculate.” The Strategy In the return of all created things …More
Laurent Michelon Officiel @LAURENTMICHEL0N The recent closure of the Israeli consulate in Chengdu is described in the mainstream media as simply a consequence of China’s positions on the Palestinian issue—particularly the ongoing genocide in Gaza—as well as on the Israeli-American aggression against Iran. The Israeli consul issued an enthusiastic statement about friendship with China, as if the closure were merely temporary for renovations. What the article is careful not to mention is the recent espionage case involving an Israeli company in Chengdu, which was thwarted at the last minute by Chinese authorities just as it was about to succeed. Reported in Chinese media and on social media, this case was, of course, completely ignored by Western media. In broad terms, in 2023, the Israeli embassy in China acted as an intermediary between a Tel Aviv-based data company and a technology firm in Chengdu, under the pretext of jointly building a “data processing center” intended to optimize …More
Blessed Michael J. McGivney - August 13 Michael Joseph McGivney (August 12, 1852 – August 14, 1890) was an American Catholic priest based in New Haven, Connecticut. He founded the Knights of Columbus at a local parish to serve as a mutual aid and insurance organization, particularly for immigrants and their families. It developed through the 20th century as the world's largest Catholic fraternal organization. The cause for his canonization started in the Archdiocese of Hartford in 1996; in March 2008, Pope Benedict XVI declared McGivney "Venerable" in recognition of his "heroic virtue". On May 27, 2020, Pope Francis announced that McGivney had been approved for beatification, which officially occurred on October 31, 2020. Michael J. McGivney - Wikipedia

All those shoes and clothing belonged to somebody, and they just made these bodies disappear." 45K views · 965 reactions | "A whole generation …
Hegseth Is Pressed to Clarify Lawyer’s Role in Promotion Decisions Representative Jason Crow asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to explain statements about his special adviser’s influence following a New York Times repor nytimes.com/…/13/us/hegseth-jason-crow-military-p… By Greg Jaffe Reporting from Washington Aug. 13, 2026, 6:01 a.m. ET Representative Jason Crow, Democrat of Colorado, pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a letter released on Thursday to clarify his earlier statements about whether his personal lawyer influenced key military promotions. During a hearing in April, Mr. Crow asked whether Timothy Parlatore, a lawyer who has represented Mr. Hegseth and President Trump, was working on behalf of senior military officers being considered for promotions by Mr. Hegseth. Mr. Hegseth said that Mr. Parlatore, who is also his “special adviser” at the Pentagon and a Navy reservist, had no role in choosing senior military leaders. “He doesn’t represent anyone,” Mr. Hegseth …More
Book of Ezekiel 12,1-12. Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, you live in the midst of a rebellious house; they have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house. Now, son of man, during the day while they are looking on, prepare your baggage as though for exile, and again while they are looking on, migrate from where you live to another place; perhaps they will see that they are a rebellious house. You shall bring out your baggage like an exile in the daytime while they are looking on; in the evening, again while they are looking on, you shall go out like one of those driven into exile; while they look on, dig a hole in the wall and pass through it; while they look on, shoulder the burden and set out in the darkness; cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel. I did as I was told. During the day I brought out my baggage as though it were that of an exile, and at evening …More
Buch Ezechiel 12,1-12. Das Wort des Herrn erging an mich: Menschensohn, du wohnst mitten unter einem widerspenstigen Volk, das Augen hat, um zu sehen, und doch nicht sieht, das Ohren hat, um zu hören, und doch nicht hört; denn sie sind ein widerspenstiges Volk. Du, Menschensohn, pack deine Sachen, als würdest du verschleppt, und geh am hellen Tag vor ihren Augen weg, als ob du vor ihren Augen von deinem Wohnsitz an einen andern verschleppt würdest. Vielleicht sehen sie es; aber sie sind ja ein widerspenstiges Volk. Trag dein Gepäck bei Tag vor ihren Augen hinaus, wie ein Mann, der verschleppt wird. Am Abend aber geh selbst vor ihren Augen hinaus, wie die Leute, die in die Verbannung ziehen. Brich dir vor ihren Augen ein Loch in die Wand, und kriech hindurch! Vor ihren Augen nimm das Gepäck auf die Schulter! Bring es in der Dunkelheit weg! Verhülle dein Gesicht, damit du das Land nicht mehr siehst. Denn ich habe dich zum Mahnzeichen für das Haus Israel gemacht. Ich tat, was mir befohlen …More
