Gloria.tv serves the Church by giving a voice to the faithful and to the truth. That independence comes at a price - quite literally. Gloria.tv serves its users - readers like you - with its own social-media technology. While editorial websites watch their readership plummet, Gloria.tv is growing and, according to Cloudflare Radar, ranks among the 10,000 largest websites in the world. No other Catholic media outlet ranks there. But here’s the straight talk: Having lots of users doesn’t pay our bills. There are no ads, and we serve our users for free. That’s how we want it. Gloria.tv depends on the generosity of a small group of ordinary faithful - many of them pensioners and praying widows. And to be blunt: This project runs on a very small budget. But not on no budget. That is why this autumn we are asking for your help again. If you want to help Gloria.tv, you can donate by PayPal or credit card through Kindful: Click here to donate Thank you very much for helping us carry on. #…More
Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández will publish a new document this October addressing the growing rupture in the transmission of Christianity between generations. It calls for “a Church capable of welcoming everyone in a different way, precisely as they are.” Requested by Pope Francis in his final days, the text was continued with Pope Leo XIV’s encouragement. Fernández announced the forthcoming document in a September 9 address to newly appointed bishops, previewing its main themes and saying it would be published the following month.
The True Role of Guardian Angels by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira While the role of Guardian Angels is to guard men, institutions, cities and nations, we often have a distorted image of the functions of these angels. Many see them as beings that are good just to obtain advantages for us. However, this is not their only role. They exist above all to help us in spiritual difficulties. God accompanies us through the action of the angels and they participate in our struggles to help us fulfill our vocation. Indeed, Guardian Angels run contrary to the Hollywood vision of life. According to that mentality, there is a great propensity to think there are no struggles, difficulties or dangers and everything will have a happy ending. The Church teaches us the contrary. Life is full of struggles and dangers, both material and spiritual. Because of this, Divine Providence has placed an angel to watch over each and every one of us. God has done this with such magnificence, that in addition to one angel …More
Thursday, October 1 – From the Feria – Saint Remi, Bishop and Confessor – Blessed Nicholas of Forca Palena, priest of the Order of Hermits of Saint Jerome, Religious of the Third Order Regular of the Franciscans
“I was addressing the secretary general [Rutte, asking] ‘Is there any proof, real proof intelligence services are providing, something on the table, that Russia is getting ready for something?’ And there is actually none,” Sinkevicius said. Of course there is NONE. There never is. Just empty threats and lies. And once again we have another person to destroy propaganda spread by the West and US. And a few on gtv. If I were to post everything of the truth I see, hear and read, gtv would be overwhelmed with it. So I post occasionally something once in awhile. Sometimes back to back.
In case you missed this one, I will leave it here. Putin an ‘outstanding statesman’ – Kazakh … Kazakh leader calls Putin ‘outstanding statesman’ in front of Merz (VIDEO) Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said the Russian president has the qualities needed to guide a country with a “complicated history”
EVERY TRUMP LOVER AND SUPPORTER READ THIS POST! Afraid to read it? Or running away from the truth? And read it slowly and carefully. Word by word. Then picture your mother, your sister, your daughter, your niece blown to pieces. Brains, body parts everywhere. Blood every where. Screams, cries of those who lost someone. Even some boys were murdered as there were also boys in the school. Read it and think what monster would do that to children? Then blame it on the Iranian people for blowing up their own children and women. Blaming others for their own evil works. So we don't know the depths of their evilness. READ IT AND DON'T FORGET IT.
I couldn't even finish this story. Brains and body parts stuck under fingernails of the Doctors and emergency works. Fathers talking to their child's backpacks. Those people will have to live with what they had to endure and see for the rest of their lives.
‘Opinions of the Doctors…’ – ‘Purgatory’ by Rev. Shouppe; 1929; Chapter XXII; p. 69-70, part III Chapter XXII ~ Duration of Purgatory — Opinions of the Doctors — Bellarmine — Calculations of Father Mumford. Let us take a moderate estimate, and suppose that you commit about ten faults a day ; at the end of 365 days you will have a sum of 3650 faults. Let us diminish, and, to facilitate the calculation, place it at 3000 per year. At the end often years this will amount to 30,000, and at the end of twenty years to 60,000. Suppose that of these 60,000 faults you have expiated one half by penance and good works, there will still remain 30,000 to be atoned for. Let us continue our hypothesis : You die after these twenty years of virtuous life, and appear before God with a debt of 30,000 faults, which you must discharge in Purgatory. How much time will you need to accomplish this expiation? Suppose, on an average, each fault requires one hour of Purgatory. This measure is very moderate, if we …More
"Let us continue our hypothesis : You die after these twenty years of virtuous life, and appear before God with a debt of 30,000 faults, which you must discharge in Purgatory. How much time will you need to accomplish this expiation? Suppose, on an average, each fault requires one hour of Purgatory. This measure is very moderate, if we judge by the revelations of the saints ; but at any rate this will give you a Purgatory of 30,000 hours. Now, do you know how many years these 30,000 hours represent? Three years, three months, and fifteen days."
‘APPENDICES…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; pp. 54-56; part I [Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Appendix A THE Saint must here be understood to mean that the souls in purgatory cannot recollect the specific reasons of the pains they suffer ; that they cannot say, " I have done such and such sins, for which I deserve to be here." She cannot mean absolutely that they do not know that the pains they suffer are in punishment for their sins. For besides such ignorance being scarcely conceivable, it is contrary to her own express statement in chapter vii., where she says, that " that which causes the souls in purgatory most pain, is the seeing in themselves a thing displeasing to God ; and the being conscious that it has been admitted against so much goodness." Appendix B THERE is a difference of opinion among theologians as to the nature of that …More
"THERE is a difference of opinion among theologians as to the nature of that purification which the souls undergo in purgatory. From what are they purified ? from the guilt of sin, or simply from imperfections? If from imperfections, in what sense do they become perfect? In that they are intrinsically improved ; or is it merely that they have bettered their condition before God?"
Former Italian priest Luca Favarin, 54, has become a father. After 25 years as a priest in the Diocese of Padua, Favarin welcomed his son Zaccaria on September 28. “If necessary, I will have the courage to die for you, because I have seen the most beautiful thing: the birth of a child,” he wrote on facebook. Favarin became known for his work with illegal immigrants, prisoners and people on the margins, as well as his commitment to homosexual privileges. He also denied Catholic teaching on assisted dying. After conflicts with his diocese and suspension, he left the clerical state in 2023. In August, Corriere.it asked Favarin about marriage and he replied: “It’s not a priority at the moment.” The mother of his child is described as his partner, a woman he met through social-sector work. #newsVepspjixwq
"The Judge answered: ”A sudden end does not condemn a soul, unless there is inconsistency in her actions. A person's will is not condemned forever without careful deliberation.” Then the Mother of God came and said: ”My Son, if a lazy servant has a friend who is on intimate terms with his master, should not his intimate friend come to his aid? Should he not be saved, if he asks for it, for the sake of the other?” The Judge answered: ”Every act of justice should be accompanied by mercy and wisdom - mercy with respect to remitting severity, wisdom to ensure that equity is maintained. But if the transgression is of such a kind as not to deserve remission, the sentence can still be mitigated for the sake of friendship without infringing justice. "
'The Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden'; ~ ‘The Son's indictment of a certain soul who was to be condemned…'; Book II; Chapter 2; part I [Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; born: Uppland, Sweden/died: Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 2 ~ The Son's indictment of a certain soul who was to be condemned in the presence of the bride, and Christ's answer to the devil about why he permitted this soul and permits other evildoers to touch and take or receive his own true body. God appeared angry and said: ”This work of my hands, whom I destined for great glory, holds me in much contempt. This soul, to whom I offered all my loving care, did three things to me: He averted his eyes from me and turned them toward the enemy. He fixed his will on the world. He put his confidence in himself, because he was free to sin against me. For this reason, because he did not bother to have any regard for me, I brought …More

Leo XIV wants the Church to be an "open house" where "everyone has a place". Today, Pope Leo XIV published his video message for October. The prayer intention, using the usual buzzwords, is about mental health ministry, calling on the Church to listen without judging and support those who are suffering. The key phrase is: "May your Church be an open house, a safe space where everyone has a place — a community that accompanies and never excludes; that listens without judging; and that draws near without fear." #newsKcoeptmmtq
