– Folha de S. Paulo, October 29, 1972 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Unfortunately, the daily press coverage of the recent debate at the UN was not very clear. In summary, it seems to be about the following: a) As is well known, by using satellites to transmit television broadcasts, a state can send news or commentary to any part of the world. There are no technical means for another country to defend itself against such transmissions. b) Russia has proposed to other UN members that international regulations be established for the use of satellites for television. Otherwise, it would destroy a satellite to prevent it from serving as an instrument of anticommunist ideological propaganda on its territory. Incidentally, this gesture will not upset pro-communists worldwide who advocate breaking down ideological barriers. The US protested the Kremlin’s unusual stance by defending the principle of total freedom of communication. After review by the relevant committees, the matter will be …More
Bishop Varden on hope, AI, patience — and not weaponizing Christianity BALTIMORE (OSV News) — During his May 7 visit to St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, a member of the Trappist monastic order, sat down with OSV News to share his insights on Christian hope, the dangers of AI and weaponizing the Christian faith, and the need for patience in the spiritual life.
Noruega: Mons. Varden reivindica la paciencia frente a la cultura de lo inmediato El Obispo Erik Varden, monje trapense y titular de la diócesis de Trondheim (Noruega), ha afirmado que no alberga «absolutamente ninguna esperanza» en la inteligencia artificial como instrumento de renovación espiritual. «Cualquier renovación espiritual digna de ese nombre es aquella que traspasa el corazón humano, y eso es algo que un algoritmo no puede hacer», ha declarado en una entrevista concedida a OSV News durante su visita al seminario de St. Mary's en Baltimore el pasado 7 de mayo. hmtv
Bishop Varden on hope, AI, patience - and not … This interview has been edited for length and clarity. OSV News: You provided the reflections for the Lenten Spiritual Exercises in the Vatican for Pope Leo XIV and others, and in your final reflection, you focused on the theme of communicating hope. In the U.S. there’s been a real interest in Nordic noir films and books — often bleak and morally ambiguous — and a perception that Nordic culture is broadly the same. Do you find any irony in a Nordic bishop focusing on hope? Bishop Varden: Well, your question makes me smile, because I’ve lived in a number of different countries, mainly in Europe, and I find that the more you move south in Europe, the more people have extravagant notions of the North, and the more they assume that it is an area of the world plunged in perpetual darkness, where everyone is given to drink and excess, and where everyone is on antidepressants, and where people keep killing themselves with axes. And it isn’t …More
Tucho toys with the dogma of the papacy—not to defend the faith against heresy, but so that others may join Prevost's rebellion against God.and against the Church. Thus, for these apostates—who promote the heresy of religious indifferentism—Christ is not necessary for salvation, but Prevost is. According to this servant of the devil, sodomy no longer constitutes an offense against God, but rather the failure to join the promoter of sodomy: Robert Prevost.
Here, there is no "synodality"—that concept in which the figure of the Pope of the synodal sect is nothing more than an equal among others, even the false religions.
Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh WOW! It's been revealed that blue states in America have lost $2 TRILLION DOLLARS, and it's going to harm them in the 2030 Census "The biggest wealth transfer in HISTORY."

With a Friend in Trump, the Tobacco Industry Secures a Lucrative Win In a dispute over vapes, the president sided with tobacco companies that filled his groups’ coffers over his own F.D.A. commissioner, who resigned in protest. Over lunch at his golf club in Jupiter, Fla., on the first Saturday of May, President Trump got an earful from a group of tobacco executives and lobbyists unhappy with the way the Food and Drug Administration was regulating their industry. Eventually Mr. Trump had heard enough. He interrupted the conversation to call Dr. Marty Makary, the F.D.A. commissioner. No answer. Furious, the president then dialed Dr. Makary’s boss, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and another top health official, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He complained to them about the F.D.A.’s regulation of e-cigarettes, according to three people briefed on the meeting who were not authorized to discuss it. The message was received.

Tuesday, May 13th, 1913 Solicitor Dorsey Is Working a New Theory in the Phagan Mystery He Will Not Disclose Its Nature, but He, Lanford, and Beavers Declare No Arrests Are Contemplated Solicitor Would Welcome Help of Burns; New Witness Miss Ross Talks With Dorsey A new theory surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan has been presented to Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey in terms persuasive enough that the chief prosecuting officer of Fulton County has shifted the direction of the investigation to explore it. The theory was advanced by an unknown criminologist, and while Dorsey acknowledges there is as yet nothing definitive to show for it, he considers the idea well worth pursuing. The Solicitor refuses to reveal the nature of the theory or identify who brought it forward. He did, however, offer a statement that many will find significant. "We are not bottled up by any one theory," Dorsey said. "We have not concluded, and we are open to the truth." If the new theory proves correct, it is …More
Just have an exchange with Novus Ordo woman. She claims that the Holy Spirit is seen as feminine. This is close to be heretical. Here is the quote: "It's the Hebrew word for the creative force of the Breath of God in Genesis." and "Ruah is seen as feminine."/I think I lost a 'friend'/ Any thoughts? I ran AI on it. Here is what AI says /Dogma of catholic Church and Doctors of the Church/: Catholic Dogma on the Gender of the Holy Spirit According to official Catholic dogma, as defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) and the Nicene Creed professed at Mass, the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity—fully God, co-equal with the Father and the Son. The Church does not dogmatically assign a biological sex (male or female) to the Holy Spirit, as divine Persons transcend human categories of gender. However, the Holy Spirit is consistently referred to with masculine pronouns (e.g., "He") in Scripture, liturgy, and magisterial documents, reflecting the masculine grammatical …More
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes FBI Director Kash Patel talks about what he’s proved Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama did “It took me 2 years of my life to prove the following, that a political party in the United States of America in the 21st century would go overseas and hire some bogus intelligence asset to manufacture fraudulent, fake unverified information. Funnel that to not just the intelligence community, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then take those package lies that they had paid for with campaign finance funds, and go into a secret surveillance court and illegally spy on your opponent to be the next president of the United States. I think that was 45 seconds. That took two years of my life. And what did we find out? The FISA court themselves came back and said these warrants were illegal, that the FBI did not provide evidence of exculpatory evidence and innocence, and that the FBI essentially lied in those applications.” It was a coup. It was literally treason …More
Tuesday, May 13th, 1913, Mother Thinks Police Are Doing Their Best Mrs. J. W. Coleman, mother of fourteen-year-old Mary Phagan, rose from her grief on Tuesday for the first time in sixteen days and returned to her household duties, resigned to the tragedy that has shattered her home and trusting in the law to bring justice for her daughter's death. "It was such a beautiful morning," she told a Georgian reporter, "And I have been able to rest now for three nights, so I felt like doing my work again. My house has been in such a turmoil since this dreadful tragedy. I feel helpless, and I have resigned myself to the sad lot that has befallen us. All we can do is wait, and waiting is a hard task." No Complaint of Police Mrs. Coleman was careful to make clear she holds no grievance against the officers handling the investigation. "Don't misunderstand me. I am not complaining about what the officers are doing. It is far better to go slow and be sure we are doing right than to hurry and make a …More
May 13th - Saint of the Day: Saint Servatius of Tongeren, Bishop A bishop. A key. A buried grave that snow refused to cover. Saint Servatius of Tongeren was not just another ancient bishop lost in history. He stood against Arianism, the heresy that tried to make Jesus less than fully God. In other words, he helped defend the truth at the heart of the Creed: Christ is truly God. And then the legends get wild. A tradition says Saint Peter appeared to him in Rome and gave him a key, a symbol of Heaven, mercy, and spiritual authority. After Servatius died, his grave was said to remain untouched by snow until a church was built over it. His relics became so important that they were carried in procession during plague, war, and crisis. In sacred art, he is sometimes shown defeating a dragon, symbolizing his fight against false teaching. This is the kind of Catholic history that feels ancient, mysterious, and strangely relevant today. Because the question is still …More

Darshak Rana @thedarshakrana In 1964, a 17 year old from San Diego conducted the most dangerous psychology experiment ever attempted by a teenager. Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days) with: • No stimulants • No caffeine • No medical suppressants And Stanford sleep researchers realized too late they couldn't stop him. What happened inside his brain during those 264 hours rewrote everything we thought we knew about consciousness. By day three, Randy's short term memory had completely collapsed. He couldn't remember starting a sentence by the time he reached the end of it. Researchers would ask him to count backward from 100, and he'd stop at 65, staring blankly, having forgotten the entire concept of numbers. But the terrifying part wasn't the memory loss. Randy's brain began creating a second reality that ran parallel to the real one. He'd have full conversations with people who weren't there. He'd walk to locations that didn't exist. His eyes stayed open, his body kept …More
