Site: Fr Hunwicke's Mutual EnrichmentS Paul loved his fellow Jews, his 'kinsmen' and believed "the gifts and call of God are irrevocable". He believed that at the End, those among them who had rejected Christ would be brought in to the chosen people.

I have been examining the Two Covenant Dogma: the fashionable error that God's First Covenant, with the Jews, is still fully and salvifically valid, so that the call to saving faith in Christ Jesus is not made to them. The 'New' Covenant, it is claimed, is now only for Gentiles.

Site: Fr Hunwicke's Mutual EnrichmentWe have seen that the Two Covenant Theory, the idea that Jewry alone is guaranteed Salvation without any need to convert to Christ, is repugnant to Scripture, to the Fathers, even to the post-Conciliar liturgy of the Catholic Church.

This piece at Rorate Caeli by Francesca Romana says it well enough. Hopeful beginning. Trusting in the Lord to make all things clear. Praying to discern Christ’s Church and His Vicar on earth.
As I said in the days of Bergoglio, before and after Pope Benedict XVI died, I submit my judgement to the judgement of the Church. Unam Sanctam applies. I seek to live and die a Catholic.
Letting events play out and listening for the Lord.
Praying for Pope Leo XIV.

Today, Good Shepherd Sunday, in front of almost 100,000 people, he took up the plea his predecessors Paul VI, John Paul VI, and Francis made. Looking out onto St Peter's Square, he urged a ceasefire in Ukraine and Gaza. He called for urgent humanitarian aid be 'provided to the stricken civil population'. Leo XVI welcomed "with satisfaction" the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. ...

The first video, very brief as is the second video, is of Fr. Prevost giving an intervention at the Synod of Bishops in 2012, the last synod for Pope Benedict XVI and a few months before his abdication. Fr. Prevost is excellent and clear, very clear about the influence of culture and mass media on corrupting the morals of people and showing a different face from that of the Church. The media makes the Church look unkind and unsympathetic to people who choose lifestyles at variance with Church teaching, whereas the media supports them and offers acceptance and love.
In this video, we get a very clear view of Fr. Prevost’s understanding of the liturgy. He laments that in the past 50 years the liturgy has been turned into a spectacle within the context of what we see in non-denominational worship, with its music, light shows and feel of a rock concert all of which are superficial rather than what liturgy should be in terms of encountering Mystery.
The following very brief video is of Cardinal Prevost when he was made Cardinal in late 2023. The reporter asked him if he had changed any of his positions as stated in the video above. It is brief. Cardinal Prevost is very diplomatic and refines what he had previously stated by indicating the Church must be welcoming of people and yet no doctrines have changed.I suspect Pope Leo XIV will refine further his response in 2023 and be very clear as pope but in a more nuanced and pastoral way. What do you think of the first video (in two parts) and this brief video below? -

“…I would like us to renew together today our complete commitment to the path that the universal Church has now followed for decades in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Pope Francis masterfully and concretely set it forth in the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, from which I would like to highlight several fundamental points: the return to the primacy of Christ in proclamation (cf. No. 11); the missionary conversion of the entire Christian community (cf. No. 9); growth in collegiality and synodality (cf. No. 33); attention to the sensus fidei (cf. Nos. 119-120), especially in its most authentic and inclusive forms, such as popular piety (cf. No. 123); loving care for the least and the rejected (cf. No. 53); courageous and trusting dialogue with the contemporary world in its various components and realities (cf. No. 84; Second Vatican Council, Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes, 1-2). These are evangelical principles that have always inspired and guided the life and activity of God’s Family. In these values, the merciful face of the Father has been revealed and continues to be revealed in his incarnate Son, the ultimate hope of all who sincerely seek truth, justice, peace and fraternity (cf. Benedict XVI, Spe Salvi, 2; Francis, Spes Non Confundit, 3).”

He has already spoken about authority that should 'disappear so that Christ remains.'

He was chosen for his human qualities, and those who like to see his election in geopolitical terms are plain wrong.

Matt Taibbi Reports on the closure of the inhumane torture of dogs at the NIH
Paul Craig Roberts
Trusting, loving Beagle dogs were tortured for years at Fauci’s NIH by human monsters who should be tried and given the death penalty. How many American taxpayers knew, and would approve of, the extraordinary torture of “man’s best friend” by white-coated criminals using Americans’ tax money?
This is what goes on when government is out of control, as the US government has been since Abe Lincoln. Even Trump can barely do anything to bring the monster government under control.
The torture of animals by sadists under the cloak of “medical research”–what a joke!–has only been stopped at NIH. As Taibbi reports, the NIH, the Department of Defense, the FDA and other agencies are still funding experimentation on dogs and cats outside of their agencies at colleges and universities and private companies across the country. Clearly, there is no more integrity and humanity in American universities and private companies than at Fauici’s NIH.
People who torture innocent animals in the name of Satanic humans are evil beyond comprehension. The “research” has never benefitted anyone. But it has made inhumane monsters of people who will surely and deservedly burn in Hell.
Big Pharma’s entire approach to medicine is wrong. The chemical approach must be replaced by nutrition and the use of natural supplements. But a correct approach to health would depreciate Big Pharma’s investments in treatments that undermine the human immune system.
We have the same problem with the food industry whose additives in processed foods undermine health.
Both Big Pharma and Big Food are entrenched institutionalized interests, and they will continue to kill us.

Anyone Who Fails to Understand that Democrats Are Criminally Insane Needs to Confront this Democrat Bill Before the Colorado Legislature
Paul Craig Roberts
“In Colorado, a bill has been sponsored that would criminalize parents and put them at risk of losing custody of their children for the ‘crime’ of calling their kids by their birth name and gender at birth.”
One reason the birthrate among Western white ethnicities is falling is that they are no longer our children. In Colorado a law is pending that parents who refer to their kids by their birth name and gender will be dispossessed of their kids by the government. So why go to the expense of raising kids for the state?
It is extraordinary to me that there are tens of millions of people who vote for a Satanic political party. A country with such a large number of totally stupid people cannot survive. Alas! It is difficult to say that the Republicans are better.
It is extraordinary to me that there are young men who will join a military to defend a state that is half Satanic. The problems and threats that are destroying America are entirely internal. They are not abroad in Russia, China, and Iran, where conservatives mistakenly locate our enemies.
The United States has essentially been overthrown from inside. Trump represents the Counter-revolution and it is not going well. When Trump fails, the United States will become the worst tyranny yet to appear upon earth.

You do care, to be sure. We all do. Why? Why should we think that our caring about what we care about makes any difference at all, whether philosophically or practically? I mean, sure, we do what we do, and what we do is informed by what we care about.
But then, the only way we might ever come to a realization of what we care about is in virtue of the realization thereof.
The only way that caring could make sense is if there were real, true differences on account of that care, to someone or other, in the beauty of what has happened, given its facticity.

Powerful symbols: Vatican releases Pope Leo XIV’s official portrait and signature
Rome Newsroom, May 10, 2025 / 10:30 am
The Vatican unveiled Pope Leo XIV’s official portrait and signature Saturday, revealing the American pontiff’s embrace of traditional papal elements just two days after his historic election.
The formal portrait shows the 69-year-old pope wearing the red mozzetta (short cape), embroidered stole, white rochet, and golden pectoral cross — traditional papal vesture that present a visual contrast to the simpler style preferred by his predecessor.
This is Pope Leo’s official portrait:
Vatican Media published the portrait alongside the pope’s personal signature, which includes the notation “P.P.” — an abbreviation traditionally used in papal signatures that stands for “Pastor Pastorum” (“Shepherd of Shepherds”). Pope Francis had departed from this convention, signing simply as “Franciscus.”
This return to traditional elements accompanies Leo’s papal coat of arms. The heraldic design features a fleur-de-lis on a blue background, symbolizing the Virgin Mary, while the right side displays the Sacred Heart of Jesus resting on a book against a cream background.This is based on the traditional symbol of the Augustinian Order.
The fleur-de-lis has particular significance in Catholic iconography as a symbol of purity and the Virgin Mary.
The three-petaled lily design has also been connected to the Holy Trinity. It is prominently featured in French heraldry, which may hold personal meaning for the pope, who has French ancestry through his father’s lineage.
Beneath the shield runs a scroll displaying the pope’s episcopal motto: “In illo uno unum” (“In the one Christ we are one”), a phrase taken from St. Augustine’s commentary on Psalm 127. The motto reflects Leo’s roots in the Augustinian order and his commitment to unity in the Church.
These profound presentations of papal symbols — the portrait, signature, and coat of arms — traditionally occur in the early days of a new pontificate and provide insights into the theological priorities and pastoral style the new pope intends to emphasize.
Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, made history on May 8, becoming the first U.S.-born pope.

My annual Mother's Day article.
By her example, my mother,
Helen Iskowicz Makow (1919-1983),
taught me that love is selflessdevotion to family.To my shame, her self-sacrificewas taken for granted.
"I grew up in an era when the media taught us that homemakers were not cool. Women like my mother who nurtured and loved their families were denigrated. That attitude rubbed off on me."
Satanists are all about degrading and dehumanizing us by destroying institutions like Motherhood. Evil wants us too frightened and distracted to honor our mothers on Mother's Day.
by Henry Makow PhD
My biggest regret is that I never showed my mother how much I loved her before she died in 1983 of breast cancer.I think she knew I loved her but at 33, I was still too self-centred to repay her in kind. With shame, I remember sitting in her hospital room marking term papers as she lay dying.When people are dying, we can't easily say our goodbyes. It is awkward. We want to maintain the illusion of recovery.
(Left. The nuclear family is the building block of a healthy society. Dad took this picture of us.)
She taught me how a woman brings love into the world by her selfless dedication to family. When someone totally sacrifices for you, when someone is unconditionally for you, it's pretty hard not to love them back with all your heart.Mothers kickstart the cycle of love.
Mothers are the unsung heroes of society. They do the difficult, thankless work of nurturing and teaching helpless children in sickness and in health.
My mother's credo was to serve her husband first, children second, Canada third and Israel fourth. She wasn't on her own list.
She never demanded anything in return; and as result, we took her for granted. We exploited her.
She was so selfless that I noticed when, once at dinner, she took a choice cut of chicken for herself.I grew up in an era when the media taught us that homemakers were not cool. Women like my mother who nurtured and loved their families were denigrated. That attitude rubbed off on me. I was brainwashed.Obviously, this was part of the Cabalist (Communist) war of annihilation against the family and society as a whole. The covid hoax is just the latest in a centuries-long effort to destroy and enslave us. We are brainwashed and inducted into their cult.BUSINESSWOMANMy mother had a successful business importing watch bands from Switzerland. After my father became more established, he asked her to focus on the children. This was about 1954.She was proud to be Mrs. David Makow, wife of a physicist, and mother of three. Women have been deprived of this time-honored social role. Many are quite lost as a consequence.ACCIDENT
Once, when I was doing a TV appearance in NYC for "Ask Henry," a producer showed us the sights in his sports car.
We had an accident. The car door flew opened and my mother fell on to the pavement.
I screamed in panic, "Mom!"
Thankfully, she wasn't hurt.But afterwards, she remarked with satisfaction, "You do love me."
Why did it take an accident to show her that?
My mother had survived the war by passing as a Gentile. She didn't finish high school and didn't read books. But she had a sophisticated stamp collection and made batiks.FINALLY
When I was eight-years-old, I related an incident that occurred at school. She told me to be strong and stand up for what is right.This is called "moral courage," she said.
You don't learn that in school. You learn that from life.Evil will not stop us from honoring our mothers on Mother's Day.------------------
