Another day, another French church up in flames This time in Bordeaux The reign of Emmanuel Macron is second only to the French Revolution for the era with the number churches destroyed in France

Moments ago, the United States revoked the General License that lifted sanctions on Iran oil. The significance of this move cannot be overstated. It is a complete destruction of the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran. Two things need to be highlighted right off the bat here: 1) Washington had justification for doing this after Iran struck multiple vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz via the Omani Route in the last 24 hours 2) This was an incredibly stupid move from Washington Something I have highlighted since its original issuance on June 21st is the General License X is more politically damaging for President Trump than it is economically game-changing for Iran. While it likely could have resulted in a windfall of ~$1B for Tehran over the course of the initial 60 days... this is really inconsequential when compared to the massive damage their country has seen throughout the war. And that political damage for Trump? It already happened! You can't put that genie back in the bottle. He's already taken those blows. The oil sanction waivers were the only notable up front concession that Iran received for the joint lifting of blockades in the Strait of Hormuz. The frozen assets being released is orders of magnitude more important for Iran... but as of yet, not a penny has moved. This has been repeatedly confirmed by both the Iranians and the Americans. What this revocation DOES accomplish, is a complete and total destruction of the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran. This is far more detrimental to negotiations and an permanent cessation of hostilities than a tit for tat response to the vessel strikes by Washington. This destroys the MOU. Did Washington have some justification for revoking this waiver? Absolutely. Is this a catastrophic move for securing an enduring cessation of hostilities between the US and Iran? Absolutely. Was this an insanely foolish move from the Trump Administration given the political blowback already received, the relative insignificance of this waiver, and the irreparable damage to the US/Iran negotiations? Absolutely.

SSPX priest Fr. Georg Kopf said at Mass in Switzerland this week: 'There will one day be another pope who opens the door and welcomes us back. Just like Pope Benedict'

New SSPX bishop +Michael Goldade preaching at Vespers: If the Catholic Church in her Tradition brings forth life, the modernist church is a desert that kills everything that it touches It kills the supernatural life, the sources of grace & has placed man in the place of God.
