Fr. Paolo D'Angona

In the digital age, a just social order guarantees everyone equal access to opportunities, protects the youngest and weakest members of society, combats hate and misinformation and subjects the use of data and technology to public oversight, so that the guiding principle is not solely profit but the dignity of every person and the common good of all people.

This sermon by the Rev. Father Bonino, O.P., may be viewed as a masterpiece of homiletics, which is recommended to the attention of those who understand French.

@Thomisticae Demagogues.

"By implicitly denying man's supernatural destiny..." Meanwhile Leo XIV:

@Thomisticae A priest friend inquired of a "lecturer in dogmatic theology" at the "seminary" of another schismatic group (which places great emphasis on "not being sedevacantists") if the seminarians study the Vatican II texts in depth. The reply was: "No, we only provide them with excerpts."

If this is how Sedevacantists read documents, which is basically equivalent to not reading them at all, how can we be sure that they're correctly representing the church's past teaching, which they take to be radically at odds with the current one?

@DoorDashThomist Fr. Shallo SJ (in: "Lessons of Scholastic Philosophy") compares such a one to a man who delivers an extended speech to prove that he is dumb.

Always remember that if a radical skeptic ever tries to assert or prove that nothing is certain, they have effectively refuted their own worldview of radical skepticism.

One of the most beatiful prayers in the Missale Romanum: the Postcommunio of Tuesday within the Octave of Pentecost: "May the Holy Ghost, we beseech You, O Lord, renew our minds through the heavenly sacrament, for He Himself is the forgiveness of all sins."

“We are to be servants of the coming Kingdom, instead of lords of towers destined for ruin.” Pope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas (par. 16) (May 15, 2026)

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Pope Leo XIV said, while returning to the Vatican from his visit to Africa, that he believes a state has the right to regulate its borders. “Personally, I believe that a State has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order, sometimes creating in destination countries situations more unjust than those they left behind.” Info: Vatican Media

20,000 people, with an average age of 20, after having walked 100 kilometres over 3 days from Paris to Chartres Cathedral, assist a Youth Mass on Pentecost Monday, celebrated by His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke

Pope Leo XIV’s address in English at the publication of his Encyclical Letter Magnifica humanitas, on safeguarding the human person in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Do listen to all of it. It is very good.

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

This video is highly recommended. Please note that beyond the specific dispute that prompted this video, matters of fundamental importance are addressed. The distortion of Catholic doctrine, which some carry out, must be firmly opposed. youtube.com/watch?v=KKPvpw…

@andrew0rozco Thank you! Oremus pro invicem!

@RomanoSace57080 Thank you for sharing father. Prayers for you!

"A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who devoutly assist either at the recitation or solemn singing of the Veni Creator (...) on the solemnity of Pentecost" (Manual of Indulgences, n. 26, § 1), under the usual conditions.

Thou of all consolers best, Visiting the troubled breast, Dost refreshing peace bestow: Thou in toil art comfort sweet; Pleasant coolness in the heat; Solace in the midst of woe. (Missale Romanum, Sequentia of Pentecost: "Veni, Sancte Spiritus")

On the feast of Pentecost, by Rev. Fr. Francis Spirago ("The Catholic Catechism Explained"):

@flid1na Of course, the good Father from the Society of Jesus had most absolutely nothing to do with that other Jansen. 😁In our region (the German-Dutch-Belgian border triangle), the name is quite common. The quote is from the book: "Wege der Weltweisheit" (on important philosophers).
