Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Bishop Crispin Barrete Varquez, 65, as the new bishop of Tagbilaran in the Philippines. He has been bishop of Borongan since 2007, for nearly two decades. His appointment to Tagbilaran marks a return to his home diocese. He spent much of his priestly ministry there before becoming a bishop. Varquez Replaces a Bishop-Elect Who Withdrew Tagbilaran diocese has been without a bishop since September 2025, when Archbishop Alberto Uy was promoted to Cebu. In March 2026, Leo XIV named Rev. Gerardo Saco as his successor. He withdrew just three weeks before his episcopal consecration in May, citing his “human limitations and inadequacies.” Monsignor Varquez was supposed to be one of Saco's two co-consecrators. “Inclusive Lay Ministries” In October 2025, Bishop Varquez mandated all parishes in his diocese to include persons with disabilities and people of “different sexual orientations” in inclusive lay ministries. Monsignor Varquez said their "gifts" should be “…Ve
Msgr. Indunil Kankanamalage, Secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, attended the Tri Hita Karana Universal Reflection Ceremony in Bali. It was “anchored by an interfaith prayer” and included a Bumi Bajra performance featuring a Barong from Ubud Palace and what they called “sacred rhythms.” Barong is a lion-like ceremonial representation of a supernatural protector in Balinese Hindu tradition, closely associated with Balinese religious and ritual life.

Leo XIV-appointed Archbishop Richard Moth of Westminster, England, approaches 'Traditionis Custodes' from what he describes as a pastoral perspective, “Where there is pastoral need, then I would make the argument for it,” he told NcRegister.com on September 10. In his previous Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, he said he “responded to that pastoral need.” Archbishop Moth believes that we need a greater sense of the transcendent in the liturgy, but believes this is “perfectly possible” using the Novus Ordo. Asked about an expected meeting with Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is supports abortion and homosexual "marriage", Archbishop Moth replied evasively: “A conversation I would have with somebody about their conscience is between me and that individual,” he said. “If particular issues are raised, I would speak about them and address them, yes.” Moth also calls it “very positive” that Burnham has raised the need to improve palliative care in the context of the assisted-suicide …Ve
A Christian of unknown denomination has become the patron of a new Catholic parish in Texas. Bishop Michael Olson of Fort Worth has announced the creation of a parish in Arlington named after Matthew Ayariga, a Ghanaian killed by ISIS in Libya in 2015. Ayariga was abducted alongside 20 Egyptian Coptic Christians. On February 15, 2015, ISIS executed all 21 men on a Libyan beach. According to accounts of the event, when Ayariga was asked about his faith, he replied, “Their God is my God.” The Coptic Orthodox group canonized all 21 victims shortly after their deaths. In 2023, Francis announced that the 21 martyrs would also be added to the Roman Martyrology.

"So that the soul that has denied and thrust away from itself the pleasures which come from all these things, and has mortified its desire with respect to them, may be said to be, as it were, in the darkness of night, which is naught else than an emptiness within itself of all things."
[Saint John of the Cross – XVI Century AD; born: Fontiveros, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy/died: Ubeda, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy; (Aged 49); Priest, Mystic, Writer, Doctor of the Church] “BOOK THE FIRST: Wherein is described the nature of dark night and how necessary it is to pass through it to Divine union; and in particular this book describes the dark night of sense, and desire, and the evils which these work in the soul. Chapter III ~ Speaks of the first cause of this night, which is that of the privation of the desire in all things, and gives the reason for which it is called night. WE here describe as night the privation of every kind of pleasure which belongs to the desire; for, even as night is naught but the privation of light, and, consequently, of all objects that can be seen by means of light, whereby the visual faculty remains unoccupied and in darkness, even so likewise the mortification of desire may be called night to the soul. For, when the soul is deprived …Ve
“Can you tell us Europeans what can we concretely do to help you to kill more Russians?” Martens asked. He hastily added he meant “more Russian soldiers, of course,” before asking whether the two leaders had discussed military cooperation.
Keep in mind that this technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated! Project Blue Beam is a theory proposed by Canadian researcher Serge Monast, claiming that NASA, the United Nations (UN), and a group of global elites are planning to establish a New World Order through a holographic simulation of a fake alien invasion or the return of religious figures.

VATICAN COUNCIL II SAYS OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION 19.09.2026 THE RATIONAL INTERPRETATION OF VATICAN COUNCIL II AD GENTES 7 7. This missionary activity derives its reason from the will of God, "who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Himself a man, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself as a ransom for all" (1 Tim. 2:45), "neither is there salvation in any other" (Acts 4:12). Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door. Therefore those men cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary …Ve
The diocesan board determined it credible that Vargas had committed sexual misconduct, “financial malfeasance,” abuse of power, and several violations of the diocesan code of conduct. Vargas has been deemed unsuitable for ministry “for the time being,” the bishop said; his ministerial faculties “shall continue to be withdrawn,” he noted.
On 7 September, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller addressed the “Tavola di Assisi 2026”: “Islam… is not ashamed of God, it is not ashamed of transcendence, but it proposes an anthropology and a revelation radically different from the Christian ones.” Invoking St Francis of Assisi’s encounter with Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil, Müller rejected the modern portrayal of Francis as a precursor of interreligious dialogue: “Francis did not go to Egypt to open a diplomatic salon and confirm the Sultan in his faith.” Instead, he went convinced that Jesus Christ is the only Savior. For Cardinal Müller, calling Muslims to conversion is “not an act of hostility… on the contrary, it is the highest act of charity.” He also warned that the Christian West is not “simply threatened by external forces, but is being worn down by an internal apostasy.”

Ma plein @maximumpain333 Dr. Hulda Clark was a pioneer in parasite cleansing. Long before internet trends, she wrote books like The Cure For All Cancers (1993) and The Cure For All Diseases (1995). In this 2000 interview, she explained something that challenged the way many people think about illness. She believed parasites were far more common than most people realized. And that addressing them was a foundational step in supporting the body’s own healing. Now, with the cyclospora outbreak, her work is more relevant than ever. She pointed to 3 specific herbs used together: Wormwood — traditionally used to help create an inhospitable environment for parasites Cloves (fresh ground) — historically used to address parasite eggs Green Black Walnut Hull — long used in herbal systems to support intestinal balance But she took it even further than parasites. She believed these same herbs, combined with an electrical treatment, were powerfully healing for the c-word.
September 10th - Saint of the Day: Saint Pulcheria, Empress & Virgin She ruled an empire at 15. She took a vow no one expected. And she saved a truth the whole Church still confesses today. Saint Pulcheria was the granddaughter of Theodosius the Great, regent of the Eastern Roman Empire as a teenager, and a consecrated virgin who turned the imperial palace into a house of prayer. When a powerful patriarch attacked Mary's title "Mother of God," Pulcheria fought back and won at the Council of Ephesus. When heresy took over her brother's court, she was exiled from power, until the throne returned to her and she made the Council of Chalcedon possible, the council that defined who Jesus Christ truly is. The bishops acclaimed her "the new Helena." She died after giving every last thing she owned to the poor.

Santa Pulcheria Imperatrice - Festa: 10 settembre Costantinopoli, 19 gennaio 399 – luglio 453 Figlia degli imperatori d'Oriente Arcadio ed Eudocia, Pulcheria nacque nel 399 a Costantinopoli. Ancora bambina perse i due genitori, e fino al conseguimento della maggiore età del fratello Teodosio II (detto "il Calligrafo") fu reggente dell'impero. Alquanto autoritaria, compì il proprio dovere con estrema religiosità e consacrò la sua verginità al Signore. Ebbe un ruolo determinante nelle nozze del fratello convincendolo a sposare la greca Atenia. Dopo la morte del fratello, nel 450, Pulcheria, diventata imperatrice, sposò il senatore Marciano con il patto che rispettasse la sua verginità. Ebbe un ruolo determinante nella sconfitta del nestorianesimo, e per questo fu canonizzata. La sua festa si celebra il 10 settembre. Il suo culto in Occidente ebbe nuovo impulso con papa Benedetto XIV il quale, colpito dal valore del suo casto matrimonio, con un decreto del 2 febbraio 1752 lo estese in …Ve
