The MOST Dangerous Organization Inside Christianity (CHRISTENDOM) — They're Still Here
Note:
It's vital to understand that the doctrines that the Jesuits introduced to the Japanese WAS NOT CHRISTIAN; It may have had a Christian veneer, but it definitely was not Biblical, and instead a blend of pagan idolatry.
Jesuits are not CHRISTIANS, since they are devoted to the Virgin Mary and the Papacy.

The agent “suffered a non-life-threatening injury following a negligent discharge while handling a service weapon at the Philadelphia International Airport during a protective assignment,” the Secret Service said in a statement to the Caller. “There were no reported injuries to any other individuals and the special agent is being evaluated at an area hospital in stable condition.”
The Philadelphia Police Department said emergency medical personnel took the agent to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was reported to be in stable condition, according to ABC News.
The department said the scene remains under investigation, but airport operations have not been affected.

Unripe, plantains are savory and starchy, then, as they transition from green to yellow, speckled with dots, they soften into their sweetest and silkiest form. This healthy fruit is as dynamic as it is delicious.
While you might be inclined to shy away given their sugar content, you’d be missing out on a tasty nutrient boost that can enhance any dish, experts say.
“Plantains are a nutritious choice and a good way to boost intake of fiber, potassium and overall carbohydrates,” Erin Palinski-Wade, registered dietitian and author, tells TODAY.com. The natural sugars in them, which the body is designed to eat, are accompanied by loads of antioxidants and vitamins that’ll fortify you in more ways than one.
Often baked, boiled or fried, in any stage of ripeness, plantains are the starchy powerhouse capable of packing a savory, sweet, crunchy or supple punch. Discover their many benefits and why they’re always worth stocking in your pantry.

Senate Votes to Fund Most of D.H.S. in Bid to End Partial Shutdown
The bill excludes funding for ICE and the Border Patrol but restores it for federal airport security workers. The House could consider the package on Friday.

The Senate voted early Friday to fund the Department of Homeland Security except for its immigration enforcement and deportation operations, raising the prospect of an end to a weekslong partial shutdown that has strained federal workers and caused long waits at airports.
The measure does not include funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Border Patrol, in effect reflecting a proposal that Democrats had offered for weeks as they refused to fund federal immigration enforcement operations without adding new restrictions on agents.
“Senate Democrats were clear: no blank check for a lawless ICE and Border Patrol,” Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, said after the measure passed.
The bill must still be considered by the House, which could vote on it as soon as Friday. It was unclear whether the measure would pass that chamber, where Speaker Mike Johnson holds a narrow Republican majority. A number of hard-right Republicans have criticized the Senate’s approach and oppose a funding bill that does not include money for immigration enforcement.
Should the House approve the measure and President Trump sign it, the deal would end a negotiating standoff that caused the longest partial government shutdown on record.
The Senate’s agreement, which it passed in a voice vote at around 2:20 a.m., came hours after Mr. Trump said that he would direct the homeland security secretary to pay Transportation Security Administration agents, who have worked without pay since funding for the department lapsed on Feb. 14.

A reporter’s view in Lebanon finds Christianity in the US-Israel-Iran conflict

Watching Abu Ali Hamiyeh use a stone to hammer the nails that will hold together the wooden planks of his new house on a corner of Beirut’s waterfront, you’d never guess that just a few months ago, Pope Leo XIV passed by that very spot.
At a special Mass nearby that day, the Holy Father called on Lebanese like Hamiyeh to be “builders of peace.”
“The path of mutual hostility and destruction in the horror of war has gone too far, with the deplorable results that are plain for all to see,” said Leo on Dec. 2, not knowing that a few weeks later, the country would be caught up in the largest war the region has seen so far this century.
“We need to change course; we need to educate our hearts for peace,” he urged.

Hamiyeh is one of those displaced by this conflict. A Muslim, he comes from the Bekaa Valley, a stronghold of Hezbollah, an Islamist militant group with which he sympathizes. He, like a million of his compatriots, has had to abandon his home due to evacuation orders from the Israeli army.
No one wants to speak to the press, except Hamiyeh. The day is Friday, March 20, and he speaks with me as he patches together a wooden shack covered with a blue tarp and a thatched roof. He pulls over a plastic trash can and invites me to sit down so we can talk more comfortably.
“Here with us there are Syrians, Palestinians, Jordanians, Turks, Sri Lankans, etc. … Everyone is here. We will not leave this place unless we achieve a great victory. We fought against them for 66 days; we gave martyrs!”
“The Bekaa Valley is the bastion of the resistance; we have given martyrs and blood, and our children, and we remain steadfast on this path of resistance — and we will give even more. Hezbollah is the victorious faction, according to the Quran. Without a doubt, they are victorious,” he says with great conviction.
Hamiyeh regrets not being able to offer me coffee and show me some of that legendary Arab hospitality.
Little by little, the coastline is turning into a refugee camp. No one knows when they will be able to return to their homes, or if there are any homes left to return to.

Will U.S. stop it? Russian tanker with desperately needed oil closes in on Cuba

A Russian oil tanker carrying hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude is steadily approaching Cuba, setting up a high-stakes test of Washington’s willingness to enforce its tightening energy embargo on the island as it grapples with a deepening fuel crisis.
Jorge Piñón, an energy expert at the University of Texas at Austin, said the vessel — the Anatoly Kolodkin — appears to be maintaining a steady course toward Cuba.
“This morning — when I checked it; I haven’t checked it just now — it was en route to Cuba. It is maintaining a speed of roughly 12 knots,” Piñón said. “I imagine it should arrive sometime within the next six days. However, for the moment, it hasn’t changed either its direction or its speed.”
Ferrying an estimated 700,000 to 730,000 barrels of Russian crude across the Atlantic, the tanker is widely believed by analysts to be heading for the Cuban port of Matanzas, despite broadcasting a misleading destination.
Its approach comes at a moment of heightened geopolitical tension, as the United States seeks to tighten pressure on Havana while managing global energy disruptions triggered by conflict in Iran and ongoing confrontations with Russia.LL

March 25 (UPI) -- Sarah Elisabeth Mullally was installed Wednesday as the first woman to hold the title of archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion.
Mullally, 63, is the 106th person to hold the title of the most senior cleric in the Church of England and spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion, which includes some 85 million Anglicans around the world. And she is the only one who isn't a man.
In her first sermon as archbishop, she honored victims of church abuse.
"We hold victims and survivors in our hearts and in our prayers, and we must remain committed to truth, compassion, justice and action," she said.
"In a world already torn by conflict, suffering and division, we must also acknowledge the hurt that exists much closer to home," she said. "We must not overlook or minimize the pain experienced by those who have been harmed through the actions, inactions or failures of those in our own Christian churches and communities."

About 2,000 invited guests attended the ceremonial installment, which is historically called an enthronement, including William, prince of Wales, and Kate Middleton, princess of Wales. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was also there. Also in the congregation was a contingent of nurses and caregivers from Canterbury to honor Mullally's former career as a nurse.
While Mullally has served in the position since January, the Wednesday's ceremony marks the symbolic beginning of her service as the archbishop. She was named to the position in October.

TSA employees at ‘breaking point’
Union representatives for TSA also blasted the Trump administration's deployment of ICE officers to airports, calling it a "straight-up distraction."

Transportation Security Administration employees say they are at a “breaking point” with TSA staff preparing to miss a third paycheck this week, as employee unions again push for legislation that would ensure federal workers get paid during a shutdown.
The ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown stretched to its 39th day on Tuesday. More than 400 TSA employees have left the agency during the shutdown, while thousands more have started calling out of work, leading to long security screening lines at some airports.
The Trump administration has now deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports to nominally help bolster TSA’s ranks. ICE agents are being paid during the shutdown due to funding the agency received in last year’s tax and reconciliation bill.
But union representatives for TSA’s transportation security officers say ICE has done little to help with the situation.
Rome In America – God’sWord Against Romanism.
March 10, 2026
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Continued from Is Romanism Good Enough For Romanists? Part 2.
GOD’S WORD AGAINST ROMANISM.
“Blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it.”
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Continued from Is Romanism Good Enough For Romanists? Part 2.
GOD’S WORD AGAINST ROMANISM.
“Blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it.”
Luke 11:28.
If the Word of God is against Romanism, its doom is written, and its overthrow and extinction approach.
When the king of Babylon saw the handwriting on the wall, the King’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
“What does it mean?” cried the king. “Bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers.” They came. And the king said to the wise men of Babylon: “Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler of the kingdom.” God had spoken; the King felt that it meant something to him and to his people. He must find out the meaning of the mystical characters. The wise men could not read the writing. This troubled the king.
The queen thought of Daniel, and he was brought forth. A man who could interpret God’s Word was of value then. He is of value now. Though the words mene, mene, tekel, upharsin, told that God had numbered the kingdom and finished it, that the king had been weighed in the balances and found wanting, and that his kingdom was divided, he commanded that Daniel be rewarded for his exposition of the Word of God; and so he clothed him with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler of the kingdom.
Is it of less consequence that we study the teachings of the Word of God concerning Romanism? We know that the Old World was destroyed by the flood, which was foretold of Noah, that Sodom and Gomorrah were burned, in accordance with the warning of the angel; that the mightiest kingdoms have been overthrown, and the most magnificent cities have gone down before an edict of God. Nothing can withstand or successfully head an Almighty “shall.” This history declares.
The Word of God is more than a book. It is God’s embattled host, always on the field, ever on the alert, ready to be wheeled into action at a moment’s notice. There is no break in the line; no weakness in the column. Death has not thinned its ranks. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, though relieved from their watch here, are still doing yeoman service, though on another part of the field. They did not die. They simply passed into the visible presence of the Commander in-Chief. The dead are with the Lord and us. The Lord is with the living and the dead. The man with the Bible enjoys the society of patriarchs, prophets, and Apostles. Paul is still with us. His voice rolls out louder, clearer than when he declared, “I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also, for I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and also the Gentile. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed, from faith to faith, as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” The words of the Apostle seem as if written for us. They are as brave and more defiant than when he wore the chain at Rome.

A Call to Welcome: Archbishop Moth visits Jesuit Refugee Service

Archbishop Richard Moth today highlighted the Catholic Church's commitment to welcoming and supporting people seeking sanctuary in the UK, during a visit to Jesuit Refugee Service UK (JRS UK).
At the Hurtado Jesuit Centre, in the Archdiocese of Westminster, the Archbishop met refugees served by JRS UK, as well as volunteers and staff providing accompaniment, advice and practical support.
Archbishop Richard said: "The root of the call of the Gospel to welcome the stranger is that recognition of the value of the human person, which comes from recognizing that God is present in everyone, and keeping ourselves rooted in that space is so important. If we lose touch with that, then people become numbers, they become statistics. We lose sight of the value of that human person for who they are. So that welcome is a key part of the Gospel.
Jesus says we're going to be judged on it and so making that welcome available to all is absolutely key. JRS UK lives that out so clearly and is a sign to the society in which we live of what all of us are called to do.
