It wasn't a Catholic; it was a Swedish Lutheran in her 80's back in the early 60's. She didn't recognize it as a television because at that time Sweden was just getting its TV systems standardized and set up, and very few people (especially in her rural area) had TVs.
If all of this is going on in Ethiopia, very bad. I was reading twitter hashtag #HumeraMassacre - Twitter Search / Twitter (I don't appreciate twitter except in the cases of following world news, Venezuela, Africa, Myanmar, Ukraine, Libya and Syria too, you can get some interesting angles as to what is going on) I think the Tigray are Christian and Muslim. The White House is sending an observer to the region soon.

"I think prime minister Abiy joins the list of Nobel peace prize winners ... who use all that goodwill and squander it," said Simon Adams, the executive director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. "There's no good guys in this conflict," he said. "There are no real heroes in this except ordinary people who are crushed between these competing armed forces who are displaced from their homes."

American Medical Association Faces Backlash for Calling to Remove Sex From Birth Certificates (theepochtimes.com) American Medical Association Faces Backlash for Calling to Remove Sex From Birth Certificates BY GQ PAN August 2, 2021 Updated: August 2, 2021 Print The American Medical Association (AMA), the largest organization of physicians and medical students in the United States, came under fire over the weekend for a recent proposal calling to end the designation of sex on birth certificates. The proposal (pdf), which was adopted by the by the AMA’s board of trustees in June, states that recording the baby’s sex on the public portion of birth certificates, as has always been the case, has “potential for discrimination.” “Our American Medical Association will advocate for the removal of sex as a legal designation on the public portion of the birth certificate,” the proposal reads, adding that information on a person’s sex designation at birth will still be submitted to the authority and only used for medical, public health, and statistical purposes. I don't want to see anyone discriminated against but still, this seems to go to far.
Back in 2005 my mom and sister and I went to Birmingham, Alabama to see the seer Maria from Medjugorje have one of her daily apparitions. It was late July at about 6:30pm. There were about 1000 people out in a huge field with one lone huge oak tree in the middle of it, under which she was leading the rosary. It was a very hot day. Within minutes the weather began to change and and we could see, and smell a storm coming. Many people began to return to their cars, not wanting to get caught in the storm, including our mom. My sister and I decided to stick it out because we really wanted to see her have the apparition. Just as we were finishing the rosary there was a loud clap of thunder and lightning. It began to hail. The field was completely covered in a blanket of white. Someone made an announcement that we had to vacate the premises. We were soaking wet and were parked about a half mile away. Our mom made it back safely to the car before the hail started, as a policeman picked her up just as she was heading down the road. Later on we were told that Maria had the apparition once she was brought to safety at the home she was staying in. Hail, Mary!
Thank you for this. The story reminded me of how he celebrated his 40th birthday in pomp at the Chateau de Chambron back in 2017 just a few months after his election as the youngest President of France. People sensed his royal aspirations from the start. He was in Lourdes recently and many people prayed for him - I don't see any external signs of conversion yet, but we continue to pray that the graces rejected by those in power will fall on men and women who can rise up and lead according to God's Will. By the way, I read a recent article that Macron is already preparing for an important speech that he will give in early 2022 when he takes over the EU presidency for 6 months. He is apparently taking this role very seriously. I found this list of nations who will have EU presidency, it would be a good thing to pray for the leaders taking over in the next years, especially the French president as is a former Rothschild banker!
4th Police Officer Who Was at Jan. 6 Capitol Breach Dies by Suicide (theepochtimes.com) This is what I thought I had heard last night, in a fairly short sequence of events, a 3rd and 4th officer to the Jan. 6th incident have killed themselves. What is this all about?
Good question. I did not read the article as you have to create an account, but this is sad, and disturbing.
I note, on firefox (and microsoft edge) at least, I am able to get the "immersive reader" (or "read preview" or some similar name) icon in the box above, then, one can read it even without an account. Nor, since it is in firefox do I feel I am doing something wrong in reading a story in this manner. Some news outlets don't allow it.
This is extremely troubling news……. Still developing but other reports are that one of the ships hit a mine. https://apnews.com/article/europe-m...n=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP
Militia of the Immaculata – Official Website of the Militia of the Immaculata USA Their latest magazine, only digital? I think so. This use to be a printed magazine to one's mail box. 95de8d43-c948-44f4-b9f1-b2da27b49ff4.pdf (constantcontact.com) A good organization, they are what they term a "driving retreat" this August, I think that mainly entails seeing a few sites close to their national headquarters, like Holy Hill, Marytown/Libertyville Illinois (home of the Kolbe Shrine), up to our Lady of Good Help near Green Bay. Sounds good but not the easiest thing to do. That means driving to all of these places. It may work very well though, I wish they had a bus doing this. Fr. Edward Looney, fine holy man but spare me bathroom humor cartoons which found their way to his twitter page. I've seen others do similar in the past and I think what?? Our Lady of Good What? (catholicexchange.com) - By Fr. Edward Looney. Back to the Militia of the Immaculata, great idea, I just wonder if the aims of these groups overlap a bit too much, Knight of Columbus, Consecration to Mary via St. Louis de Montfort. It's still a good idea, there is just an overlap for the lay person. St. Maximilian pretty much on a shoestring erected his facility in Japan and by divine providence; and when the bomb at Nagasaki hit, their chapel survived. 2 different churches, one a Jesuit Church. The two churches that survived the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (aleteia.org) "We survived because we were living the message of Fatima." August 6 was the liturgical Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ. On that date in 1945, the transfigured face of God, reflected in His children, was disfigured with the devastating explosion of the atomic bomb over Hiroshima, in Japan, which exterminated nearly 140,000 men, women, and children. So, truly, he did that all the way out in Japan, a bit phenomenal I'd think for the 1930s to build a church out there, not like it is today.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton ""Every American would have a black box in their home through which the devil would enter.” We had a thread about this once St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's Warning | Mother of God Although this is attributed to her, I think there may be some doubt about this being true.
