Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three M&S staff speaking in another language. I asked them “What language are you speaking?” They responded “Flobba-dobba-dobba” I have a photograph & their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time.

My Sacred Heart Major Seminary teaching contract was terminated by Abp. Weisenburger this week. I have retained counsel. Except to offer my prayers for those affected by this news and to ask for theirs in return, I have no further comment at this time. Prof. Edward Peters
Scottish Wildcats look on in horror as you-know-who arrives in their country.
Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger gave due process and a right to defend himself to Hans Küng, an outright heretic who never lost his job (only his license to teach as a Catholic theologian). Progressive bishops, by contrast, talk of mercy but ruthlessly purge the orthodox
Nine years ago today, Fr. Jacques Hamel was martyred by Islamic Terrorists, whilst celebrating Mass in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, northern France. Ora pro nobis
Hate to tell you but Swedish DNA both male and female shows ancient connections with both western Asia and (mainly northern) Africa. Like most 'white' peoples. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedes#Ge…
🇸🇪 State TV in Sweden (SVT) has just produced a big budget series called History of Sweden. According to them, this is what the first Swedes looked like...
One of those tiresome celebrity converts American Catholics get excited about. Seems remarkably stupid.
🚨 WATCH: Candace Owens just poured gasoline on the Macron lawsuit, straight-up telling Brigitte, “You were born a man and you’ll die a man… See you in court.” She’s pledging to fight “on behalf of the entire world,” daring the French First Family to drag this into discovery.
The communities that welcome migrants and refugees can be a living witness of a society where the dignity of all as children of God is recognised and in which all are brothers and sisters, part of the same family. #WDMR2025 @vaticanIHD vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
O light and adornment of Spain, most holy James, helper of the oppressed, protector of travelers, you who occupy the foremost place among the apostles because you were the first to earn the crown of martyrdom. --- O lux et decus Hispaniae, sanctissime Jacobe, sublevator…

Today's the feast of St James, Apostle and patron saint of Spain. In art he's usually depicted as a pilgrim, as at Cawston, Norfolk, 1490s, with pilgrim staff and scallop shell, the badge of those who've been to Santiago de Compostela. 1/3 Cawston: norfolkchurches.co.uk/cawston/cawsto…
A recent enquiry all the way from Western Maryland, USA, had us matching up the Minton tiles in a richly-decorated church entrance with the patterns in our archive - a bit of cross-continental tilespotting! themintonarchive.org.uk/tilespotting-u…
Lol. Writing it by hand while flanked by nuns? I suspect he might know how to use a computer...
