    Daily Caller ^ | November 17, 2025 | Derek VanBuskirk, Reporter
    Gunmen armed with “sophisticated weapons” raided a Nigerian boarding school Monday, killing at least one staffer and abducting 25 schoolgirls after a firefight with guards. Police said the attackers stormed Maga boarding school around 4 a.m., trading fire with guards before fleeing with the students. Authorities have launched a coordinated search operation, scanning suspected escape routes and surrounding forests to recover the girls and apprehend the perpetrators, a police spokesperson told ABC News. A relative of one of the girls told ABC they fear two people may have been killed in the attack. “We were told that the attackers entered...

  • Why Jesus Used “70 × 7” in Matthew 18 - The Deeper Daniel 9:24-27 Prophetic Meaning!

    Beloved, this is absolutely mindblowing to me! The Lord Jesus perfectly understood Daniel 9:24-27 and used this prophetic text in Matthew 18:21-22 as an example of what full and complete forgiveness is in RIGHTEOUSNESS! I wonder if the Peter truly understood what text Jesus was referring to and its complete meaning, as Jesus taught Peter this Divine lesson on true and complete forgiveness and its restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

    [Catholic Caucus] Curia cardinal hits back over Vatican seating ‘snub’ for transgender activistsCardinal Konrad Krajewski has responded to claims that transgender activists were intentionally excluded from Pope Leo XIV’s top table at the Vatican’s Jubilee Lunch for the Poor. A group of 48 individuals who identify as “transgender women” attended the annual “Lunch for the Poor” at the Vatican on Sunday alongside Pope Leo XIV, with none being seated at the Pope’s main table. In 2023 and 2024, two individuals identifying as “transgender women” were selected to dine at the head table. The arrangement this year prompted some secular newspapers...
  • The Rise and Fall of Dispensational Premillennialism in American Christianity

    Mike D'Virglio ^ | Oct 9, 2024
    When I embraced postmillennialism in August 2022, I knew next to nothing about where the most popular Evangelical eschatology, dispensational premillennialism, came from or how it developed. The reason this is important is because eschatology matters. What we think about “end times” will color everything we think about current times. It determines how we interpret the past, present, and future, not just the end of that future, but everything in between now and when the end comes. If we think planet earth is destined for an apocalyptic dystopia guess how we’ll think of current events. I’ll explain why, but I...

    [Catholic Caucus] Catholic group in US accuses Dicastery bishop of siding with civil divorce over Church teachingA US Catholic pressure group has lodged a petition in Rome after accusing Bishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, Secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, of advancing a position on the jurisdiction of marriage that the group claims contradicts established Catholic teaching. Mary’s Advocates, a lay organisation that upholds marriage against no-fault divorce, focusing particularly on Catholic marriage, and which defends spouses who oppose a civil divorce, argues that the bishop’s stance involves an error historically condemned as an...

    BOMBSHELL: US Catholic Bishops Give $1 Million to Marxist MovementA new investigative report from the Lepanto Institute exposes significant financial support by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), an initiative of the US Catholic Bishops, for organizations deeply connected to socialist and Marxist movements. The report details how, under the banner of community land trusts (CLTs), millions of dollars have been funneled to groups whose founders and leaders openly advocate for socialist and Marxist ideologies. “The very concept of CLTs emerged among self-identified socialists looking to remove land from speculative markets and promote collective ownership,” said Michael Hichborn, president...

  • Top Court to Decide if a Judge Can Prevent a Mother From Taking Her Daughter to Church

    The Liberty Daily ^ | November 17, 2025 | Bob Unruh
    The fight is between two people who never married but whose daughter now is nearly a teen. And the coming decision by the Maine Supreme Court will determine if judges in that state can simply overturn the constitutional religious rights of parents. The battle has been outlined by Liberty Counsel, which explained the judge’s trial court ruling in the dispute between mother and father is well into the extreme range, or beyond. For example, the judge ruled that the custodial mother “is a fit parent EXCEPT for the fact that she is a Christian.” The war erupted over the non-custodial...

  • There Is No Escape from the Justice of God: Christian Thinking about the Death of Jeffrey Epstein

    The Editorial Board of The New York Times stated, “By apparently committing suicide in his Manhattan jail cell on Saturday morning, Jeffrey Epstein spared himself a lengthy trial that could have sent him to prison for the rest of his life on federal sex trafficking charges… While Mr. Epstein will never face a legal reckoning, the investigations into his crimes and those of others connected to him must continue. His premature death shouldn’t stop law enforcement authorities from finishing the job that they finally took up seriously years after they should have.” Then, “The evidence against Mr. Epstein was overwhelming...

    , at a recent, very crowded Sunday night mass at St. Joseph’s Church in Greenwich Village, Father Jonah Teller, OP made a simple announcement indicating that times are changing. According to Teller, the number enrolled in the parish’s Order of Christian Initiation of Adults — the process in which adults convert to Catholicism — had tripled since last year, with roughly 130 people signing up. ... There’s a similar story at St. Vincent Ferrer on the Upper East Side, where their OCIA numbers have doubled since last year, swelling to nearly 90 people. “We’re out of space and exploring adding...

    [Catholic Caucus] A Vatican II & Francis Moment: Homosexual TV Presenter is Confirmed in NYC Church in the presence of his "husband""Gio" Benitez, an openly homosexual television presenter with ABC News, was confirmed yesterday at the problematic Saint Paul the Apostle parish church in Manhattan -- there was a mass of Paul VI celebrated by homosexual-adjacent homosexuality-promoting Jesuit James Martin, and in the presence of the "husband" of Mr. Benitez, as it can be seen in the video below. These are the fruits of the general looseness of spirits promoted by Vatican II and especially of Francis-approved document on blessings,...

    [Catholic Caucus] Communiqué from the General House of the Society of Saint Pius X regarding 'Mater Populi fidelis'On 4 November, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a “Doctrinal Note on Some Marian Titles Regarding Mary’s Cooperation in the Work of Salvation”.This text, whose apparent concern is not to “obscure Christ’s unique salvific mediation”, teaches that “it is always inappropriate to use the title ‘Co-redemptrix’ to define Mary’s cooperation”, and that “special prudence is required when applying the term ‘Mediatrix’ to Mary”.Caricaturing—in order to distance itself from—the traditional terminology of the Church, and moreover prolix in beautiful considerations...

    Rapture Ready ^ | 11/17/2025 | Jonathan Brentner
    What’s the allure of false teaching, particularly in regard to future things? Why do so many people go astray from what the words of Scripture tell us about what lies ahead for us and the world? These questions again came to my mind after I received an email boasting that “dispensationalism is on the decline.” By that, the writer meant that many Christians are turning away from our belief in Jesus’ thousand-year rule on the earth. As evidence, he cited Kirk Cameron’s apparent switch from belief in a pre-Tribulation Rapture to Dominion Theology, which teaches that the church will usher...

    I receive dozens of e-mails from Rapture Ready readers every day. A few readers send me several e-mails every day. They want to be sure that I didn’t miss important reports, and some hope that I will alert others. I have already read most of the articles they send, but I receive a few articles about things that I was unaware of. I try to pass on reports about things that I believe people should know. I receive a few e-mails from readers that tell me they are anxious for the Rapture to happen. Quite often, they want to join...

It is doubtful he will return next spring when the bishops convene again.Like any good disciple, Pierre, who was appointed in...
