Developing story… Yes. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has scrapped its proposal to install additional Islamic foot-washing (ablution/wudu) stations. The plan would have added one station inside an existing men’s restroom and one inside an existing women’s restroom on the pre-security side of Terminal D (the international terminal). It was still in the evaluation phase (not fully approved), with a state filing listing an estimated cost in the $115,000–$300,000 range and a potential late-2026 timeline. DFW said it accelerated its review due to elevated public interest this week and determined the project “would not deliver the originally anticipated operational benefits.” DFW already has two ablution stations (installed around 2019) beside the Terminal D Interfaith Chapel near Gate D40 on the post-security side. Reports indicate the cancellation applies only to the proposed new restroom stations; there has been no announcement about removing the existing ones. Texas Gov. …More
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Angelo Accattino as Nuncio to Colombia. He had until now served as Nuncio to Tanzania. Monsignor Accattino appears to be a reliable institutional exponent of the Francis pontificate: he praised Francis's magisterium as “firm and secure” and spoke positively of Amoris Laetitia. He embraced the Amazon Synod process and the Synod on Synodality. In 2026, he explicitly spoke of "journeying together as a Synodal Church". His online profile emphasizes ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, social justice, and the characteristic pastoral vocabulary of the Francis era.
Interesting video. Thank you Pierre. Check out the link I posted below. Well they can try all they want. They have tried for decades to take out Putin. Either by many assassination attempts or replacing him. They (US and NATO AND EU) are planning a huge coup in Russia soon. "IF" it's GOD Will, it might be time for him to be replaced. But I don't think GOD is done with Putin from preventing WWlll. Just yet! But I see it coming very quickly now. I can only hope that GOD will prevent the coup from happening. Even if it happens, they usually grow closer to Putin and love and protect him even more. We will protect him. The people of Russia! "Putin! Nobody will arrest him" Russians react to Putin's arrest warrant
Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters with Excommunication: On August 14, Bishop Michael F. Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, issued a “pastoral” letter concerning the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) — using sharp and decidedly unsynodal language. He warns that knowingly providing public, organizational, material, or financial support to FSSPX communities is "objectively sinful" and "can result in excommunication." Bishop Olson even described the FSSPX as a “self-formed and schismatic sect.” He specifically mentioned two FSSPX churches within his diocese — Our Lady of Mount Carmel in North Richland Hills and Our Lady of Fatima in Sanger — as well as the former Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Arlington, whose nuns have been in open conflict with Bishop Olson for years.

>>The Catholic Church has survived corrupt popes, inept bishops, foolish pastoral decisions, and periods of great moral collapse throughout her history. Yet, Christ’s promises do not permit that the Holy Spirit’s ordinary work has departed from the visible structures of the Catholic Church and relocated to a self-formed and schismatic sect that sets itself apart from the doctrine and organic structures of the Catholic Church as founded by Christ and guaranteed by the Holy Spirit.<<
Poland Unveils Europe’s Tallest Statue of Our Lady: On today’s feast of the Assumption, Bishop Krzysztof Wętkowski of Włocławek consecrated Europe’s tallest statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the small Polish village of Konotopie.

Friday, 15th August 1913 Wife and Mother of Frank Are Permitted to Remain in Court, The Atlanta Constitution Atlanta Constitution August 15th, 1913 At the opening of the morning session yesterday Solicitor Dorsey motioned for the court to exclude the wife and mother of Leo M. Frank, Mrs. Lucille Frank and Mrs. Rae Frank, on account of the sensational outburst of the mother Wednesday afternoon, when she denounced the solicitor for attacking the character of her son. In reply to the solicitor's move to have the mother and wife of the defendant excluded from the court room, Attorney Arnold made a strong speech in their behalf, saying: "It is a new doctrine to me where a wife and mother of the defendant cannot sit in court with him in the hour of his trial. I promise there will be no more outbreaks in court. Mrs. Frank, his wife, has sat through the trial, quietly and orderly. My friend's conduct, I would think (meaning Dorsey) was a little more culpable than that of the mother's. A man, …More
lawenforcement_today PARENTS ARE FINALLY FIGHTING BACK: Public-school mosque trips are now heading to FEDERAL COURT. The controversy erupted in Texas after public-school students were bussed to an Islamic center, where they observed prayer and heard presentations about Islam. Now a group of parents, students and community members has filed a federal lawsuit against California’s Palo Alto Unified School District over a separate mosque trip. The lawsuit alleges students were encouraged to wear Islamic religious attire, given Qurans to take home, photographed without parental permission and exposed to a CAIR official without a balancing perspective. They took God out of schools but THIS is OK? Make it make sense. instagram.com/p/DcERIjnDFTJ/
