Leo XIV and his Vatican have made a song and dance, literally, of the 60th anniversary of the Encyclical Nostra Aetate, throwing a party to mark its steady advancement of the one-world universal religion of Mystery Babylon and the Anti-Christ, in the frightful Paul VI Hall (which was by no means full).
Nostra Aetate rejected the traditional accusation that the Jews killed Christ, and recognized the "legitimacy" of Judaism and Islam. Leo claims that the Church does not tolerate "anti-Semitism" and fights against it.
The Church has always fought against discrimination on grounds of sex, race or colour, but always discriminated against false religions as being opposed to the religion founded by Christ Himself, on the rock of Peter - for which the conciliar, Novus Ordo, post-Bergoglian sect has now substituted a pebble named Prevost. Who claimed also that the Church fights against antisemitism "on the basis of the Gospel itself".
Ah, but - it was St. Paul, the Semite, who claimed that the Jews were the people who killed Christ and were enemies of the entire human race, in I Thess 2: 14-5. So why is Leo making a song and dance about antisemitism? Could it be that the Vatican which is terribly strapped for cash needs to stay on side with US Catholics who are so on side with Israel?
While the whole world obsesses about Israel and Palestine, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, in the US and everywhere else, should understand that now and ever since the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, "Israel" means only one thing: the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Over the transom (Barnhardt-speak for 'an email') from a reader….
“Accordingly we may distinguish a threefold obedience; one, sufficient for salvation, and consisting in obeying when one is bound to obey: secondly, perfect obedience, which obeys in all things lawful: thirdly, indiscreet obedience, which obeys even in matters unlawful.”
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Secuns Secundae Partis, Q. 104
I will probably be pounding on this drum until the day I die, but indiscreet obedience is the silent poison leading those who otherwise wish to follow Christ into co-operation with the Adversary and his wolves in the destruction of the Church and the persecution of Christ.
As far as AI goes, I am reminded of Chesterton – “A man is not even certain of the Solar System as he is certain of the South Downs.” Text reports, pictures, even videos were already unreliable; all AI does is reveal that unreliability more thoroughly. Reports are arguments from authority; they depend on the trustworthiness of the authority, and have none themselves.
The Lord is Our King, He will save us.
Dóminus iudex noster, Dóminus légifer noster: Dóminus Rex noster, ipse salvábit nos.
The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver: the Lord is our King, He will save us.
This is the Fourth Antiphon of First and Second Vespers of the Feast of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.
I find it to be a manful, succinct encapsulation of reality. Perhaps a little license with emphatic capitalization would be opportune.
He WILL save us.
And remember, He is King of All by Divine Right, because He is The Creator, He is King hereditarily (yes, St. Joseph was the hereditary heir to the throne of David), but He is also King of All by Conquest via His Incarnation as True Man.
And that Conquest occurred at the instant of His Incarnation in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. So even as an Infant, nay even as a Single-celled Zygote, He was and is truly the Sovereign King of the Universe BY CONQUEST.
And that includes maybe above all else the land that is referred to today as “Israel”. Do you know when there will be “peace in the Middle-East”? When the world acknowledges that “Israel” today, and for the last 1991 years since Our Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection, means exactly ONE thing: The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Period.
Anything founded by a group of militant atheists claiming divine right by a deity that they openly confess that they don’t believe in AT BEST and despise at worst, is a bad, bad joke and abomination.
The Holy Land is OURS. WE are the everlasting Israel. WE are the one and only path to peace. Anything less than full acknowledgement of the Universal Kingship and Dominion of Jesus Christ is a lie. From the river to the sea, and everywhere else in the entire physical universe.
Ecce ancilla Domini.
King of the Universe by Right and by Conquest in the womb. He WILL save us.
King of the Universe by Right and by Conquest now and forever. He WILL save us
