Bishops have been promoting the Islamization of Europe for decades under the pretext of charity, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (German video below). He accused these bishops of “cowardice” for failing to profess their Christian and Catholic identity. According to Schneider, European political elites are deliberately organizing Muslim immigration: “These are generally not refugees, but deliberately orchestrated and organized measures by European political elites to bring a Muslim population into Europe.” Schneider described Islam as “totalitarian” and “anti-Christian.” Building large mosques amounts to propaganda for a religion that is not willed by God. Bishop Schneider also condemned interreligious dialogue, as exemplified by the 2019 Abu Dhabi Document, as “a betrayal of the mission of the Gospel, which God Himself, Jesus Christ, entrusted to us.” Schneider criticized the practice of placing all religions on an equal footing, even visually, as though one could “choose a …More
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 22,15-21. The Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap him in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a person's status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." shareyourcatholicfaith
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Matthäus - Mt 22,15-21. In jener Zeit kamen die Pharisäer zusammen und beschlossen, Jesus mit einer Frage eine Falle zu stellen. Sie veranlassten ihre Jünger, zusammen mit den Anhängern des Herodes zu ihm zu gehen und zu sagen: Meister, wir wissen, dass du die Wahrheit sagst und wahrhaftig den Weg Gottes lehrst und auf niemanden Rücksicht nimmst, denn du siehst nicht auf die Person. Sag uns also: Was meinst du? Ist es erlaubt, dem Kaiser Steuer zu zahlen, oder nicht? Jesus aber erkannte ihre böse Absicht und sagte: Ihr Heuchler, warum versucht ihr mich? Zeigt mir die Münze, mit der ihr eure Steuern bezahlt! Da hielten sie ihm einen Denar hin. Er fragte sie: Wessen Bild und Aufschrift ist das? Sie antworteten ihm: Des Kaisers. Darauf sagte er zu ihnen: So gebt dem Kaiser, was dem Kaiser gehört, und Gott, was Gott gehört!

The Unitive Trap: How Modern Personalism Denies Original Sin in the Mariage Bed For two millennia, the Catholic Church stood as an unyielding fortress against the chaotic currents of carnal indulgence. Guided by the crystalline logic of Saint Thomas Aquinas and the sobering pastoral wisdom of Saint Augustine, Christian tradition understood precisely what the marital act was: a raw, biological reality ordered strictly to the procreation of immortal souls, protected by the legal bond of marital fidelity. Today, however, that fortress has been quietly hollowed out from within. Under the guise of a mid-century theological update, the contemporary Church has largely adopted the vocabulary of the 1960’s “sexual revolution,” baptizing the secular world’s obsession with "making love" by masking it in the language of "personalism" and the "unitive meaning" of the marriage bed. By elevating the highly subjective, emotional concept of the "unitive end" to a co-equal status with procreation, modern …More
Book of Isaiah 45,1.4-6. Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, Subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his service, Opening doors before him and leaving the gates unbarred: For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel my chosen one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew me not. I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun men may know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is no other; Psalms 96(95),1.3.4-5.7-8.9-10a.10c. Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all you lands. Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds. For great is the LORD and highly to be praised; awesome is he, beyond all gods. For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the LORD made the heavens. Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory …More
Buch Jesaja 45,1.4-6. So spricht der HERR zu seinem Gesalbten, zu Kyrus: Ich habe ihn an seiner rechten Hand gefasst, um ihm Nationen zu unterwerfen; Könige entwaffne ich, um ihm Türen zu öffnen und kein Tor verschlossen zu halten: Um meines Knechtes Jakob willen, um Israels, meines Erwählten, willen habe ich dich bei deinem Namen gerufen; ich habe dir einen Ehrennamen gegeben, ohne dass du mich kanntest. Ich bin der HERR und sonst niemand; außer mir gibt es keinen Gott. Ich habe dir den Gürtel angelegt, ohne dass du mich kanntest, damit man vom Aufgang der Sonne bis zu ihrem Untergang erkennt, dass es außer mir keinen Gott gibt. Ich bin der HERR und sonst niemand.
Homily Monday, October 19, 2026 Ephesians 2:1-10 " We are created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them." God is. We reflect God through good thoughts, words, and actions. Luke 12:13-21 Jesus said, "The things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" It would be worthwhile to cleanse our minds and surrender to the Lord all that is negative and then rejoice in what is wise. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

Papst beim Angelus: Treue zu Wahrheit und Verantwortung Mit einem bekannten Jesuswort aus dem Matthäusevangelium hat Leo XIV. an die Verantwortung gegenüber Staat und Gesellschaft erinnert. Beim Angelusgebet am Tag nach seiner Entlassung aus der Gemelli-Klinik warnte der Papst vor Heuchelei, Machtstreben und Eigeninteressen. Wer Verantwortung übernehme, dürfe sich nicht von persönlichen Vorteilen leiten lassen, sondern müsse Gottes Gerechtigkeit an die erste Stelle setzen.
In his first public event following surgery last Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the famous saying of Christ, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s”, explaining that Jesus is calling us “to be truthful, free from servile fear or hypocrisy, free to do good”. By Christopher Wells Pope Leo XIV prayed the Angelus with the faithful in St Peter’s Square on Sunday, his first scheduled event since being released from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Saturday following surgery to remove a portion of his right lung. Thousands of pilgrims and visitors were present in the Square to greet the Holy Father and join him for the weekly Marian devotion. 'Render unto Caesar' In his reflection ahead of the Angelus, Pope Leo commented on “one of Jesus’ best known sayings: ‘Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s’.” Jesus’ was responding to a question about taxes that was intended to trap him. But “the Teacher’s …More

The Judge answered: ”You are not asking this out of love, since you have none, but my power compels you to ask it for the sake of this bride of mine who is listening. In the same way in which both the good and bad handled me in my human nature in order to prove the reality of my human nature as well as my patient humility, so too good and wicked alike eat me at the altar - the good unto their greater perfection, the bad in …More
