"XXIII. The Pain of Loss
It is easy to understand the other pains of hell, because there are pains like them on earth. But it is difficult to understand the pain of loss, because there is nothing like it on earth. You must know that when a soul has been condemned to hell at the judgment-seat, God lets it see for a moment something of what it has lost. It sees the immense happiness it would have had in heaven with God and his angels and saints. And now it sees that all this blessed happiness is lost -- lost by its own fault, lost for ever, lost without hope! Listen to the painful cry of a child which has lost its mother! Listened to the wailings of the people in Ireland when their sister is leaving them to go to America, and perhaps they will never see her any more. Then you may think what a wailing there will be when a soul hears these words from God: "Depart from me for ever."

‘The Sight of Hell’ by Rev. John Furniss, C.S.S.R.; 1882; Chapter XXIII-XXV; Pages 11-12; ‘The greatest pain of hell…’

The greatest pain of hell has not yet been told. You shall hear it now.

May 17 - Saint Paschal Baylon
Paschal
Memorial
17 May

Profile
Son of the pious peasants Martin Baylon and Elizabeth Jubera. From youth he displayed great devotion to the Eucharist. Worked as a shepherd from ages 7 to 24, and was a good influence on his shepherd friends, an often rowdy group. Franciscan lay brother with friars of the Alcantarine Reform, often serving as cook or doorkeeper. His charity to the poor and afflicted, his unfailing courtesy and humility were remarkable even by Franciscan standards. While travelling in France, he defended the Real Presence against the blasphemies of a Calvinist preacher, and narrowly escaped death at the hands of a Huguenot mob. Poorly educated, he was still a counselor sought by rich and poor alike. His cultus is especially strong in Spain and southern Italy, in Central and South America.

le 17 mai Saint Pascal Baylon.
de l'Ordre de Saint-François
(1540-1592)
Saint Pascal Baylon naquit en Espagne, le 17 mai 1540, d'humbles cultivateurs, riches des vertus chrétiennes. Occupé dès l'âge de sept ans, à la garde des troupeaux, il passait son temps en prières et en lectures; on dit que les Anges eux-mêmes lui donnèrent des leçons.
Le petit Pascal se plaisait surtout à réciter le Pater. Quoique pauvre, il trouvait le moyen de faire l'aumône en donnant une partie de sa nourriture à ceux qui en avaient besoin. Il était le modèle aimé et respecté de tous les bergers de la contrée. Dans un âge si tendre, il connaissait l'usage assidu des cilices, des jeûnes, des disciplines sanglantes; on le voyait marcher pieds nus à travers les ronces et les épines, en expiation de ses péchés. Le maître chez qui ses parents l'avaient placé voulait le faire héritier de tous ses biens, mais Pascal ne convoitait que l'héritage de l'amour de Dieu et la pauvreté religieuse.

SALT II: The Second Munich – Folha de S. Paulo, August 14, 1979

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
As summer unfolds, Americans divide their attention between leisurely vacations and mounting unease over the oil crisis. Meanwhile, another matter recedes from view: the Senate’s deliberations on ratifying the SALT II Treaty.
However, in my view, this treaty is among the most significant events of the postwar period.
“Post-war”? The term grows increasingly inadequate, even faintly anachronistic, and this will become clearer as the world recognizes that the decades after 1945 cannot rightly bear that name.
The reason is simple: the Second World War did not end. It merely entered a new phase. In 1945, the Axis powers were removed from the battlefield, but the conflict persisted, now transposed into a struggle among the victorious Allies themselves. As it continued, its character shifted. Until Hiroshima, it had been a predominantly bloody war, punctuated on both sides by major propaganda offensives.
After 1945, it became above all a war of public relations,…More

Why Australia's COVID 'Freedom' Movement Was a Sham Led by Zionist-Controlled Pretenders

During Australia’s COVID charade, a number of curious figures emerged and masqueraded as staunch opponents of government tyranny. They would predictably show up on stage at anti-lockdown protests, to roaring applause. They featured prominently in the ‘alt’ media. They became mini-celebrities, seeming ‘heroes’ of the freedom movement.
And it was all bullshit.
The Bosi Man
Perhaps the most unlikely figure to emerge was
Riccardo Bosi, the ex-SAS soldier who started the short-lived Australia One Party. Bosi was the olive-skinned version of G.I. Joe, a reassuring presence to his followers during a time of fear and uncertainty.
As his popularity grew, so too did the sheer absurdity of what emerged from his mouth.
He claimed by green-lighting Operation Warp Speed, Donald Trump was “cutting off the head of the snake” and accelerating the downfall of the “cabal”.
When someone asked him at a rally about chemtrails, he claimed the crisscrossing patterns were caused by the “good guys”

Republicans Waited to Challenge Trump on the Iran War. Now It May Be Too Late.
nytimes.com/…26/05/15/us/politics/iran-war-powers…
Having deferred to the president for months, G.O.P. lawmakers missed crucial milestones to try to limit his war powers. That has tied their hands in seeking parameters and exit criteria.

Reporting from the Capitol

The Republican-led Congress has missed a crucial window to play a role in the U.S. military operation in Iran, with G.O.P. lawmakers who deferred to President Trump for months on the war now hand-tied by their reticence to challenge him and his administration’s efforts to evade congressional oversight or input.
Since Mr. Trump began the war on Feb. 28, Republicans have consistently blocked Democratic efforts to halt the hostilities and force the president to win authorization from Congress, arguing that such a move would undermine him in the fight in the Middle East. They have also hung back from putting forth any …More

Germany’s Synodal Conference "Postponed": Presiding German Bishop Heiner Wilmer said he does not expect the first meeting of Germany’s planned Synodal Conference to take place in November as originally scheduled. Speaking at the Katholikentag in Würzburg, he pointed to ongoing Vatican review processes, saying the proposal is moving “from one dicastery to the next.” Bishop Wilmer nevertheless said he is “confident that it will continue,” while adding that “some patience” is needed. The Synod Conference is a permanent national body that makes decisions for the entire country, thereby exercising authority over individual bishops.

DBK-Chef Wilmer erwartet erste Synodalkonferenz nicht für November 2026

Redaktion - Samstag, 16. Mai 2026, 6:30 Uhr.
Der Vorsitzende der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz (DBK) erwartet die erste Zusammenkunft der Synodalkonferenz als Verstetigung des Synodalen Wegs nicht für November 2026, wie dies eigentlich geplant war. Hintergrund ist die vatikanische Prüfung der Satzung dieses neuen Gremiums auf Bundesebene, das aus Bischöfen und Nicht-Bischöfen bestehen soll, wie Bischof Heiner Wilmer SCJ am Freitag ausführte.
In einem Gespräch mit dem Fernsehsender
Phoenix am Rande des Katholikentags in Würzburg sagte der Bischof: „Ich gehe persönlich nicht davon aus, dass wir schon im November zusammenkommen, aufgrund der Dynamiken, weil es von einem Diskasterium ins nächste geht.“
Die weiterhin kritische Frage mit Blick auf die Satzung ist jene nach dem gemeinsamen Beraten und Entscheiden von Diözesanbischöfen und Nicht-Bischöfen, was im Vatikan zumindest in den vergangenen Jahren auf Widerstand stieß. In der Satzung heißt es konkret, die Synodalkonferenz „berät …

As debates have intensified over issues involving the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, some states have adopted laws prohibiting so called conversion therapy (especially for minors), which is aimed at changing an individual’s perceived gender to that of their birth or in combatting same-sex attraction. There is a general consensus that such therapy is generally ineffective.
Colorado barred using talk therapy to convert LGBTQ+ minors
The state of Colorado adopted legislation designed not only to prevent shock therapy and other medical procedures for bringing about such changes for minors but also legislation prohibiting licensed counselors from using talk therapy to change such identity or attraction. It did, however, permit therapists to provide talk therapy to aid those who were seeking gender transition.

I believe it was deliberate. Fauci helped with illegal 'gain of function' to create the Covid bioweapon. They tested it by intentionally releasing Covid. They expected their bioweapon to kill faster than it did. Thus, they released Omicron, a more virulent strain.

I believe it's very possible that it was deliberate. I've heard stories about brilliant and egotistical microbiologists going rogue. For example, I can see how they could be manipulated by dark Machiavellian politicians who needed some way to reduce the elderly population, since they had already used their payroll taxes for other purposes and couldn't fulfill the obligation for old age pensions. It amazes me what some people will do to other people, just for the sake of money.
