130+ yr old #StBrigid #Catholic school in high income area of #SanFrancisco shutting without warning. #SF Arch Diocese was among the first #California dioceses to seek #bankruptcy protection after sex coverup #settlements and legal costs from multiple abuse victim cases, soon followed by regional #NorCal clergy officials in Santa Rosa, Oakland and Sacramento.

The school’s closure comes as SF #ArchDiocese reaches $395m settlement with some 500 abuse victims, just weeks after #RomanCatholic Diocese of #Oakland announced it would shutter 13 #EastBay parishes, blaming financial ruin from hundreds of child #SexAbuse lawsuits against its own #Priests.

St. #Philomena's Forane Church, popularly known as #Koonammavu Church is situated in Koonammavu, a northern suburban town of #Kochi City of #Kerala state, #India. This is one of the oldest #RomanCatholic churches in India, built in 1837 AD. Even though the church is dedicated to the Virgin Philomena, #SaintChavaraAchans feast is celebrated in every year as the annual festival, a nine-day festival lasting from 26 December to 3 January along with Holy #Christmas and the #NewYear.

The Xerophagists were Catholic Masons who, after the ban on Freemasonry by Pope Benedict XIV on 28 April 1748, continued to secretly meet as Freemasons.

Xerophagist comes from the Greek and means: 'those who live without drinking.'

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 137

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 You, Me and The Movies React To Lone Wolf McQuade – It has been a few months since the movie legend Chuck Norris passed away at age 86. He left behind a legacy of action movies and even played Bruce Lee’s tough opponent in The Way of the Dragon. Norris also had action movies filmed on location here in my native Philippines. In the 1980s, Norris appeared in a lot movies that involved guns and hard action, and one of his more notable films of the time was 1983’s Lone Wolf McQuade in which he faced off with fellow action star David Carradine. Recently, You, Me and the Movies posted their reaction video of Lone Wolf McQuade and it is entertaining to watch. I urge you to watch it now.

#2 Minty Comedic Arts’ Invasion U.S.A. Video – Still focused on the late Chuck Norris, his 1985 action movie Invasion U.S.A. was not merely made to entertain moviegoers with lots of explosions, dangerous stunts and hard action. Norris read an article in Reader’s Digest about the presence of hundreds of terrorists running loose in the United States which impacted him as he care about his country and his fellow Americans. This eventually led to the making of Invasion U.S.A. which succeeded commercially as it spread awareness to the American people as to how they can defend themselves in the event foreign terrorists invade their country. Today, Islamic terrorism as well as the entrance of Islamo-Leftist foreigners into America made this 1985 more socially relevant. The story behind the production of Invasion U.S.A. is pretty fascinating, and you can learn more about by watch Minty Comedic Arts’ video below.

#3 Signature Bowls of Happiness in Japan – Do you eat meals served in bowls often? Meals in bowls are common in Japan where rice and noodles are eaten by people daily. Among the many food joints in Japan that offer meals in bowls to customers are a few standouts visited by Nippon TV. What they discovered are very enticing, attractive and delicious to look at. Watch and learn from their video below.

#4 Ranting For Vengeance Slams CBR And Others Who Hate 1980s Anime – I grew up watching lots of anime shows and feature films early in life and the 1980s is a memorable decade. It was during the 1980s when I saw anime productions from the 1970s and the newest ones of the decade. To name some, I saw the 1980s Astro Boy series, Galaxy Express 999, Captain Future, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Voltes V, Daimos, Mazinger Z and others. While such old anime productions proved to be entertaining, there are still some people out there who bashed them because those productions (and their stories) did not align with their modern day woke agenda. The popular geek entertainment portal CBR published lots of articles saying that the old anime productions did not age well and a lot of readers and netizens followed suit. As such, Ranting for Vengeance slammed them and stood up for 1980s anime backed with detailed explanations. If you are a true fan of anime, watch the video below.

#5 Western Women Who Embraced Islam End Up Wrong – Did you notice that there is a growing number of women in the West who embraced Islam believing the fantasies that it is a religion of peace and is feminist? Indeed, there are these modern-day feminists who considered themselves Islamic without even fully knowing what Islam truly is, why Sharia Law is wicked and what was recorded in the Quran. SaharTV posted several videos about these newcomers to Islam (including one new Muslim woman who was Catholic) who ended up being very wrong and embarrassed. Watch the SaharTV videos below.

#6 The Significance Of Spider-Man 2099 Explained – In late 1992, Marvel Comics launched Spider-Man 2099 #1 which also marked the start of their 2099 franchise of comic books. Under the direction of writer Peter David with artworks done mainly by Rick Leonardi, the futuristic Spider-Man really stood out differently from the classic Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and his own place under Marvel Comics’ banner was established well. Spider-Man 2099 is clearly the most popular of all the Marvel 2099 titles. That said, I found this YouTube video that examines the significance of Spider-Man of 2099. I encourage you to watch it.

#7 Ashleigh Burton’s Reaction To Witness – The 1980s will always be a memorable decade of Harrison Ford’s cinematic performances. During that decade, he appeared in two Star Wars movies and he was the center of attraction in the original Indiana Jones trilogy. Along the way, he appeared in the 1985 crime thriller film Witness in which he played a police detective protecting an Amish woman and her son. The movie earned several Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and even Best Actor for Harrison Ford. Lately, Ashleigh Burton posted her reaction video of Witness and I encourage you to watch it.

The Book of Isaiah is not a radical left document. The Sermon on the Mount is not soft on crime. The command to seek peace and pursue it is not a foreign policy failure. It is the Word of God.

We stand in solidarity with Pope Leo XIV's call for peace, for the protection of civilian life, and for the dignity of every human person caught in the crossfire of war. We call upon all Old Catholic faithful, all clergy, and all persons of good will to reject the weaponization of Christian language in service of military aggression, and to pray for the courage of those who speak truth to power at cost to themselves.

Pax et Bonum.

Statement of the Old Catholic Churches International on President Trump's Attack on Pope Leo XIV

Issued by the Right Reverend Greer Godsey, OSFoc, Presiding Bishop Greer Godsey

April 13, 2026

We have watched with grave concern as President Donald Trump launched a public attack tonight on Pope Leo XIV, calling the Holy Father "weak" and "terrible" and demanding that he "stop catering to the Radical Left." The cause of this attack is clear: Pope Leo called for peace. He asked that wars cease. He condemned the idolatry of force.

That is not weakness. That is the Gospel.

We do not share all things in common with the Roman Catholic Church. Our tradition is distinct, and our independence from Rome is long-established. But on this we have no ambiguity: a political leader who attacks the leader of the world's largest Christian communion because that leader dared to say "enough with war" has revealed something important about himself and about the values he serves. Those values are not the values of Jesus of Nazareth.

The Book of Isaiah is not a radical left document. The Sermon on the Mount is not soft on crime. The command to seek peace and pursue it is not a foreign policy failure. It is the Word of God.

We stand in solidarity with Pope Leo XIV's call for peace, for the protection of civilian life, and for the dignity of every human person caught in the crossfire of war. We call upon all Old Catholic faithful, all clergy, and all persons of good will to reject the weaponization of Christian language in service of military aggression, and to pray for the courage of those who speak truth to power at cost to themselves.

Pax et Bonum.

This church was inaugurated on 15 October, 1967, as a parish itself. Previously, this church was under the St. Joseph Catholic Church, a parish located quite far from here. Nothing much to say about this church but here are the photos.

Some front photos of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, a parish under the Diocese of Manado. It's located in North Karombasan Sub-district, Wanea District, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. I took these photos while walking past the front.

The 3 highest-ranking #RomanCatholic clerics who lead archdioceses in the #UnitedStates said in a strongly worded statement on Monday that America’s “#moral role in confronting #evil around the world” is in question for the first time in decades. Their critique of the #Trump admin’s principles — while not mentioning Trump by name — escalates the American Catholic Church’s denunciations of the country’s top leaders.

I finished Stephen Harrigan -- The Sorrowful Mysteries earlier today.

I'd been wanting to read about Fatima for some time and just happened to stumble upon this .

As well being an informative history of the the origins of the Fatima cult and its reverberations down to the end of the twentieth century, it's also an engrossing memoir of growing up Catholic in Texas before Vatican II and the author's growing away from this faith.

@revndm @KrissyKat I was raised #RomanCatholic so I didn’t go through the #TeenMania craze but there were analogs in #Catholic culture that still exist today I was very much a part of, including being an intern at a summer youth camp for Catholic teenagers.

So glad I got out of it all.
