Russia evolves Nuclear Doctrine in response to U.S. missile strikes
(Stay confessed. We have not been this close to nuclear war since 1963, yet somehow this story can hardly be found in the MSM. Also note, there has not been a statement nor a document from the Biden Regime announcing the approval of these missile launches… all we have is a Sunday afternoon news leak from two unnamed “sources.”-nvp)
MOSCOW, Nov 19 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader range of conventional attacks, and Moscow said Ukraine had struck deep inside Russia with U.S.-made ATACMS missiles. Putin approved the change days after two U.S. officials and a source familiar with the decision said on Sunday that U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration allowed Ukraine to use U.S.-made weapons to strike deep into Russia.
Russia had been warning the West for months that if Washington allowed Ukraine to fire U.S., British and French missiles deep into Russia, Moscow would consider those NATO members to be directly involved in the war in Ukraine. The updated Russian nuclear doctrine, establishing a framework for conditions under which Putin could order a strike from the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal, was approved by him on Tuesday, according to a published decree.
Analysts said the biggest change was that Russia could consider a nuclear strike in response to a conventional attack on Russia or its ally Belarus that “created a critical threat to their sovereignty and (or) their territorial integrity”.
The previous doctrine, contained in a 2020 decree, said Russia may use nuclear weapons in case of a nuclear attack by an enemy or a conventional attack that threatened the existence of the state.
The doctrine said any attack by a non-nuclear power supported by a nuclear power would be considered a joint attack, and that any attack by one member of a military bloc would be considered an attack by the entire alliance, it said.
Russia’s defence ministry said Ukraine had struck Russia’s Bryansk region with six missiles, and that air defence systems intercepted five and damaged one.
Could certain bishops, cardinals hold a council to remove Francis as pope?
(LifeSiteNews) — LifeSite recently published Dr. Edmund Mazza’s analysis of why Benedict XVI’s arguably invalid resignation of the papacy would have caused the conclave that ostensibly elected Bishop Jorge Bergoglio to also be invalid. In addition to Dr. Mazza’s argument, which has persuaded many Catholics, there are at least two other serious arguments that Francis is not pope:
- That Francis has lost the papal office because he has “publicly and pertinaciously contradicted a number of central teachings of the Catholic faith,” as suggested in a May 2, 2024 “Call for the Resignation of Pope Francis”
- That Francis is the head of the anti-Catholic Synodal Church, and therefore an apostate who cannot simultaneously be head of the Catholic Church
Any of these three independent reasons could, if true, suffice to show that Jorge Bergoglio is not the pope. Thus, if Dr. Mazza’s argument is true, then Francis would not be pope even if he was perfectly orthodox and there was no such thing as the Synodal Church. Or, if Francis was validly elected, he would still not be pope if either of the other two arguments is true.
The rationale for evaluating whether Francis is the pope would be strong even if his words and deeds were relatively benign and we expected that the next conclave could elect a truly Catholic pope. However, that is clearly not the case: Francis is actively trying to destroy the Catholic Church and, to perpetuate that objective even after his death, he has stacked the College of Cardinals with like-minded opponents of true Catholicism. Thus, it is difficult to imagine a situation in which it would be more obvious that serious Catholics should consider what steps can be taken to remove Francis from the papacy (or declare that he never legitimately occupied it) and elect a truly Catholic pope…

Who is in charge here? Regime green-lights Ukraine missile strikes deep into Russia
(Just to be clear: These are U.S. missiles guided by U.S. military using U.S. satellites. Go to Confession. -nvp)
“President Biden has authorized the first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, U.S. officials said. The weapons are likely to be initially employed against Russian and North Korean troops in defense of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of western Russia, the officials said. Mr. Biden’s decision is a major change in U.S. policy. The choice has divided his advisers, and his shift comes two months before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office, having vowed to limit further support for Ukraine. Allowing the Ukrainians to use the long-range missiles, known as the Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, came in response to Russia’s surprise decision to bring North Korean troops into the fight, officials said.”
The following is from three days ago:
“Gratitude for suffering is a precious jewel for our heavenly crown”
“I understand that, each time we contemplate with desire and devotion the Host in which is hidden Christ’s Eucharistic Body, we increase our merits in heaven and secure special joys to be ours later in the beatific vision of God.”
“Angels constantly guard the clients of this Blessed Virgin from the assaults of Hell.”
“O Sacred Heart of Jesus, fountain of eternal life, Your Heart is a glowing furnace of Love. You are my refuge and my sanctuary.
O my adorable and loving Savior, consume my heart with the burning fire with which Yours is aflamed. Pour down on my soul those graces which flow from Your love. Let my heart be united with Yours. Let my will be conformed to Yours in all things. May Your Will be the rule of all my desires and actions. Amen.”
“Every time we look at the Blessed Sacrament our place in heaven is raised forever.”
Saint Gertrude was a 13th-century Cistercian mystic of Helfta, near Eisleben in Saxony. The book of her life and revelations, which she was asked to write in a vision of God, has been praised by scholars and saints alike. A very intelligent woman, Gertrude was early attracted to secular learning, but after the first of her numerous visions she restricted her reading to the Holy Scriptures and the Fathers of the Church. Her whole life was centered on the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Divine Office. She was one of the first to whom our Lord revealed the mystery of His Sacred Heart; He also asked her to develop a deep love for the cross and to pray for the conversion of souls.

Flyers fan arrested for doing donuts in a forklift at the Denny’s, and so much more
TINICUM TWP., Pa. (WPVI) — A Philadelphia man is facing charges after police say he went on a rampage involving a forklift in Delaware County.
On Thursday around 5:30 p.m., police were called to the Denny’s for a report of a theft involving a man with wet muddy clothes. That man was later identified as 39-year-old William Martin.
According to the criminal complaint obtained by Action News, after Martin left the Denny’s, he went down the street to a warehouse owned by Esstech, where he sprayed fire extinguishers and stole a forklift.
Around 6:11 p.m., Tinicum Township police were called to the Clarion Hotel on Industrial Highway for a report of a crash involving a forklift. A woman claims the man was doing doughnuts, lost control, and slammed the forklift into her Ford Explorer before driving away.
Minutes later, police were called to the Springhill Suites nearby for another crash involving a forklift. The hotel shuttle bus had been rammed, which caused major damage to the vehicle.
At 6:15 p.m., Ridley Township police were called to the Wawa on East Chester Pike for a theft. Employees say a man stole Gatorade and cigarettes, threatened people inside with a fire extinguisher, and then drove away on a forklift.
Police found the forklift after it crashed into the Rehobeth Afaan Oromo Church down the street. It caused significant damage to the building, and Martin was found inside. Police said he sprayed a fire extinguisher inside the sanctuary.
“He must have had the forks up pretty high,” said Joseph Maggitti, who witnessed the aftermath of the crash into the church.
He was surprised by how far the man was able to drive the forklift on busy roads.
“He made it this far without getting caught?” asked Maggitti.
William faces a long list of charges including burglary, theft, criminal trespass and criminal mischief.

Arizona voted for Trump… and for a Marxist for Senator?
The Arizona Senate race has been called by AP for the Marxist. But can anyone explain this anomaly? You’re telling me 170,000 people who voted Trump ditched Kari Lake to let the Marxist win? And the Marxist got more votes than Harris, and more votes than all registered Dems in the state? I would like to hear from one AZ voter who voted for Trump and also voted for Gallego, or that voted for Trump and failed to vote for Senator. Just one.
