Everyone acts like Islam “came out of nowhere” in the 7th century. It didn’t. It was built by lifting Catholic ideas, stripping them down, and repackaging them as “new revelation.” Let’s expose a few.
The Angel Gabriel
Appears to Mary in Luke 1. He brings the Word that becomes flesh. That’s Catholic revelation.
600 years later, “Gabriel” appears to Muhammad in a cave. But this time? No Incarnation. Just dictation. Sound familiar?
The Virgin Mary
Catholics had venerated Mary as Mother of God for centuries. Ephesus (431 AD) settled it: Theotokos.
Islam? Mary gets lifted wholesale into the Qur’an… but Christ’s divinity is stripped out. It’s like stealing the frame and burning the painting.
The Eucharist
From the start, the Church celebrated the Body & Blood of Christ at the altar. “Unless you eat, you have no life in you.”- John 6
Islam? Denies it, but keeps the “ritual meal” vibe in Ramadan’s breaking of the fast. A hollow echo.
Monasticism & Prayer
By the 4th century, Catholic monks prayed fixed hours daily. The Divine Office. Bells. Prostrations.
Islam? Five daily prayers facing a holy city. Prostrations. Ritual words. Copied—minus Christ.
Pilgrimage
Christians had pilgrimages to Jerusalem, the Holy Sepulchre, martyrs’ shrines. Long before Muhammad.
Islam? Hijacks the practice, re-centers it on Mecca, strips it of the Cross.
Scripture & Authority
The Church had the canon of Scripture locked down by the 4th century. Magisterium safeguarded it.
Islam? Claims a “book from heaven” with no witnesses, no councils, no continuity. Just one man’s word.
The irony?
Islam denies the very truths it borrows.
Loves Mary, but denies her Son is God.
Honors Jesus, but calls Him a prophet, not a Savior.
Copies prayer, pilgrimage, fasting—while rejecting the Cross that gives them meaning.
Islam is not an “independent revelation.” It’s a remix of Catholic truths— distorted, stripped of Christ, and repackaged as “submission.”
The Catholic Church: ✝️ The blueprint.
Islam: ☪️ The counterfeit.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth: If you admire Islam’s discipline, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage — You’re admiring Catholic practices Islam stole.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant us the graces we need to trust that You always answer our prayers in the best way possible. It’s easy for us to rejoice when You say yes right away; we need Your help to rejoice when Your answer is not yet or not ever. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BIBLE STUDY: This passage is offensive to modern ears. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lWgOTPLdoOo to hear a preacher resolve the issue, by explaining its historical context.
BORDER: On June 26, 2025, the House voted 246 to 160 to pass a measure to mandate the deportation of undocumented immigrants convicted of or admitting to drunk driving and to prohibit their reentry into the United States. Only 37 Democrats voted yes; the 160 who voted no said the measure lacked evidence linking immigration status to drunk driving and did not address broader immigration issues. The bill still requires Senate approval and President Trump’s signature to become law.
S&G: An mtf trannie who slathered himself with estrogen cream may have seriously harmed his toddler daughter by having daily, skin-to-skin contact with her. When he realized she was entering puberty … at age THREE … he switched to an estrogen patch. Nobody knows what long-term damage the kid may have suffered, because her daddy thinks he is her mommy.
TRUMP: On July 26, 2025, President Trump posted the following to Truth Social – “I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for “expenses,” to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING! These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
GRAMMY NOTES: Our theory is that the pyramid is actually a 3D shape, like a three legged stool. One leg is the husband, one is the wife, and the third is the marriage. The needs and wants of each must be kept in balance with God sitting on the stool. Most of the time, my Dearest and I have been able to concede or compromise, but on a few occasions, we just couldn’t. For these times, we chose a neutral third party we trusted to hear our two sides and cast a vote on behalf of the marriage. We agreed ahead of time to graciously accept the outcome. It saved us a world of trouble. Our 46th anniversary is in less than 3 months.
I was very moved by what Christine Niles said in the video I posted previously and below, so I copied the pertinent part of the transcript and cleaned it up so I could re-read and share it.
The following from Christine Niles begins at the 24:00 mark. I am adding graphics to break up the text, because I believe it makes multiple paragraphs of text easier to visually scan and mentally process on a digital screen.
“I know people say … Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo, … is a product of the Chicago machine. Very, very huge differences here. First of all, Prevost was closer to Cardinal Francis George, who was known to be a very holy Orthodox defender of the faith in Chicago. He was closer to Cardinal Francis George also as a priest.
“[Prevost] was formed under Father Dudley Day, who had close associations with a traditionalist parish, Saint John Cantius, and Father Day, according to multiple people who knew him, said that he was probably one of the holiest, most devout, orthodox priests that they had ever met. He was an Augustinian. He had his own confessional at Saint John Cantius. So this was the man who helped form Prevost and actually helped to enroll him in the Augustinians.
“And then during Cardinal Bernardin’s reign in Chicago, Prevost was actually in Peru. You know, he spent 20 years in Peru. So he just wasn’t really around during Bernardin’s time in Chicago. So I don’t think it’s fair to say that Prevost is a product of the Chicago machine, the way that Archbishop Casey is now.
“Casey was ordained by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. Anybody who knows about Bernardin’s reign. I’m not going into all the details here, but it’s just scandalous. Utterly scandalous. Accused by numerous men, including seminarians, of sexual assault. Just a scandalous. You know, when he died, they actually had the Windy City Gay Chorus sing at his funeral. Okay, just anyway, this was the man who ordained him.
“And not just that, Casey was appointed to head Chicago’s Casa Jesus. From 1998 to 2003, he served as associate director and then as rector, so he was there for a total five years leading and forming these men. And during that time there were homosexual scandals, cancer. Casa Jesus was a house of formation founded in 1987 by Cardinal Bernadin for Latin American seminarians.
“They would go down to Latin America, various Latin American countries, and they would recruit seminarians there for Chicago. But during the entire time of his existence, there were so many homosexual scandals to it. And these were not just vague rumors, allegations, these were actually reported publicly in the Secular News. And there’s so many, so many details. I mean, so many stories. I’m not going to go into all the details here.
If you want to learn more, just go to my website @ https://stellamaris.media/. I published an article titled Priest Porn Scandal in Cincinnati marred by Bishop’s Falsehoods @https://stellamaris.media/f/priest-porn-scandal-in-cincinnati-marred-by-bishops-falsehoods. I go into the history of Casa Jesus. Some of the major homosexual scandals there, but especially the one that took place in 2015, 2016, which led to his use finally being shut down. It was quietly shut down in 2016 by Cardinal Cupich because the rector there, Octavio Munoz, he was busted for homosexual child porn found on his laptop. He was charged and he was convicted.
“Please keep in mind, he was rector for seven years of Casa Jesus. He would regularly go down to Latin America and recruit seminarians. This was the man who helped form these souls for seven years. Busted for child porn. Now serving his time. So 2016, it gets shut down after nearly 30 years in operation. But the point is that Father Robert, Father Robert Casey, now Archbishop Robert Casey, was rector of Casa Jesus for years, and during that time there was a gay subculture there, and he refuses to discuss his time there. … And now he’s in charge of the souls in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. And as I have already pointed out, his tenure has started out in a disastrous way. …
“When a bishop uses his sacred office, his spiritual authority to shame Catholics into silence, Catholics were scandalized and expressing sincere concerns over the behavior of a priest. When a bishop does that, that’s textbook spiritual abuse. I’ve seen it again and again and again, especially as an investigative journalist who’s reported on clergy sex abuse cover up. I’ve seen it again and again, and it’s disgusting and it’s sick and it’s abuse of the bishops office. Priests do it too. Many times. I’ve heard from whistleblowers or from victims who want to go report something. ‘Oh, you can’t do that. That’s a sin of detraction. That’s a sin of detraction. You’re sinning. You shouldn’t be revealing these things. It’s a sin.’ Spiritual abuse.
“But all of this is why we need to pray for Pope Leo. We need to pray for him. He’s got heavy burdens. He’s got a lot of work cut out for him. Pray that he has the wisdom, courage, and strength to clean house. Remember, Pope Benedict asked us to pray for him at the beginning of his pontificate. ‘Pray that I do not flee for fear of the wolves.’ How many of us actually prayed for him? He resigned.
“Pray for Pope Leo that he has the strength to clean house, and do so with fearlessness and courage. You know, you read about stories like this. You hear about stories like this, scandals like this, in which the bishop himself is possibly implicated in covering up for sexual misconduct. And you realize the church has a long way to go in being purged and purified of this filth.
“Now, one question I get asked a lot by people after hearing about these terrible things happening in the church, these scandals is okay, ‘Well, we can pray for the Pope. Obviously, but what can we actually do? What can we, as laity do to help turn this ship around? Well, Pope Leo actually gives us an answer. He said something significant and beautiful in his sermon for the commemoration of Mary, mother of the church, over the weekend. You know how how do you help the church? How do you help the Pope?
This is what he said. ‘The Holy See is holy as the church is holy in her original core. And the very fabric of her being. The Apostolic See thus preserves the holiness of its roots while being preserved by them. But it is no less true that it also lives in the holiness of each of its members. Therefore, the best way to serve the Holy See is to strive for holiness, each according to his particular state of life and the work entrusted to him or her.’
“What does this mean? It means we Christians are all part of the Mystical Body of Christ, and what we do affects others in the body of Christ. There’s no such thing as private sin because your sin affects others, whether you know it or not, whether you see it or not, it has a ripple effect in the body of Christ. It affects others for good or for ill. Just like the good things that you do, the holy things that you do also affect the body of Christ for good. Your sin affects the body of Christ for ill and only those with a spiritual view of things understand this. You don’t see the world in terms of the spiritual if you only see us as autonomous individuals, each doing our own thing, disconnected from everybody else. …
“God actually does want to reunite all of us into a single family unity matters, and it’s the message of Pope Leo. I’ve said this before, he’s the Pope of unity, and he said in numerous homilies and addresses, try not to demonize the other. Try to reach out and try to understand the other. Don’t make it about us versus them. But remember that the person on the other side, the other side of the political spectrum, theological spectrum, whatever that is a human being created the image of God endowed with dignity.
“Now, we don’t always act that way. Obviously, we can act very badly. We don’t act in conformity with our human nature, which is stamped with divinity. But even when we behave badly, even when we give way to evil urges and commit terrible crimes, we should try to resist the temptation to demonize such people. … Yes, of course, … they have to take responsibility. Nobody saying that they shouldn’t. But very often these people are in the grip of the evil one. They’re in the grip of Satan, who exists, who is real, an actual, real spiritual being. Which is why these people need prayers. Prayers to be set free from whatever evil spiritual forces are oppressing them, driving them to behave badly. … Some of them, quite frankly, I think, are partially possessed. They’re enslaved to evil, and God desires that they be freed from the grip of evil.
“It is why, after all, Christ came to earth to become man, to become one of us, to suffer on our behalf, to free us from our slavery to sin, and open the gates of heaven for us. This includes the worst sinners among us. He didn’t come to call the righteous, but the sick, so he came to call the lost the hopeless cases. God is constantly like a good, loving and merciful father, reaching out to the lost, bidding them come back, come back, turn back, repent. Allow Him to heal, heal them, transform them, sanctify them.
“You know, in the history of Christianity, the worst sinners have sometimes become the greatest saints. I did an episode on this. So this is why we should never lose hope for the salvation of others, no matter how wretched their lives may be, but also why we should try to resist the temptation to demonize others, because there are dark forces involved who wish to enslave us to sin, and to keep us there forever. Forever divorced from God, forever separated from God. That is the ultimate victory for Satan over souls.
“But Christ loves us and he wishes to help break free. Help us break free from that so he can heal us and ultimately bring us to be with him in heaven forever. That is the goal. Eternal union with God. It’s what God desires of all of us, without exception. And yes, even for those bishops who lie and cover up and commit spiritual abuse, even them, in fact, they need our prayers most of all, because if they don’t repent, they’re facing the most fearful judgment of all.”
“This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ — the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.
“Beginning with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating in the Paschal Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead.
“During this sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross. In His final hours on Earth, Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture, and execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all His creation. Through His suffering, we have redemption. Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins. Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness — signaling that death does not have the final word.
“This Holy Week, my Administration renews its promise to defend the Christian faith in our schools, military, workplaces, hospitals, and halls of government. We will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life, and protecting God in our public square.
“As we focus on Christ’s redeeming sacrifice, we look to His love, humility, and obedience — even in life’s most difficult and uncertain moments. This week, we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation. We pray that America will remain a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom for the entire world, and we pray to achieve a future that reflects the truth, beauty, and goodness of Christ’s eternal kingdom in Heaven.”
“May God bless you and your family during this special time of year and may He continue to bless the United States of America.”
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask You today to grant us the graces we need to reject hate in all forms. Open our hearts to forgive those who trespass against us lest we in turn lose our own salvation. We pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CATHOLIC: In AD 325 Emperor Constantine convened the very first ecumenical council, the Council of Nicaea. More than 300 bishops came from all over the Christian world to debate one of the early church’s most intense theological questions.
Arius of Alexandria had been teaching subordinationism, the idea that Jesus, the Son of God, was not equal to God the Father, but rather had been created by God before He created time.
The bishops at Nicaea declared this to be heresy, that Jesus is consubstantial (of the same substance) with the Father. A later council would declare the Holy Spirit to be consubstantial with the Father and the Son, thus formally defining the orthodox doctrine of the Holy Trinity.
Bishop Nicholas of Myra, whose person became the foundation for Saint Nick/Santa Claus, was at the Council of Nicaea, where he is said to have been a staunch opponent of Arianism. There is an old legend that he felt so strongly about the matter that, during the council’s deliberations, he actually slapped Arius. However, this story is from more than 1,000 years after Nicholas died. It makes for some funny Catholic nerd memes, but I find it difficult to believe it ever happened.
CONGRESS: Trump &c successfully blocked a bloated, 1500-page Continuing Resolution and got it replaced with a more streamlined 116-page bill that was passed in the wee hours of this morning, December 21, 2024.
DEM LIE: Dems are furious at the failure of their attempt to fund woke projects and are casting Republicans’ as the bad guys for, get this, refusing to fund cancer research funding for children.
A stand-alone bill called H.R. 3391 – 118th Congress “Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0” was passed on March 5, 2024, by the Republican-controlled House. This bill was received by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions [HELP] on March 8, 2024, where it languished, without action, for nine months. HELP, which is chaired by Bernie Sanders, has 20 other members who are evenly between Democrat and Republican.
Yesterday, this Dem-led, Dem-majority committee finally got their thumbs out to send the bill to fund kids’ cancer research to the Senate, where it passed without amendment by a voice vote on the same day, December 20, 2024 … right after the porky 1500 page CR failed.
Whatcha wanna bet the Dems sat on this bill specifically so they could include it in some porky package like the 1,500-page CR. Then, on the off chance their pork didn’t make it through, they could do what they’re doing, which is whine about how eeeeevil Republicans (wiping tears) don’t care about kids after they’re born!
POLLINATOR NEWS: [1:57] – Five years ago, the northern giant hornet was first spotted in Washington state near the Canadian border.

CHRISTIAN HISTORY: The silver scroll in the photo above was found in 2018 in the grave of a man who died between 230 and 270 AD. It was positioned under the man’s chin and experts think he once wore it on a cord around his neck. Because the wafer-thin silver foil is too brittle to unroll, researchers used computer tomography to see what was inscribed on it. The results surprised historians, who were unaware that Christianity had spread so far north at such an early date. Although amulets like this were usually written in Greek or Hebrew, this one was in Latin.
It says: “(In the name?) of Saint Titus. Holy, holy, holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God! The Lord of the world resists with [strengths?] all attacks(?)/setbacks(?). The God(?) grants entry to well-being. May this means of salvation(?) protect the man who surrenders himself to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, since before Jesus Christ every knee bows: those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth, and every tongue confesses (Jesus Christ).”
DOGE: The Department of Education spent over $1 billion promoting DEI in America’s schools – $489,883,797 for race-based hiring, $343,337,286 for DEI programming, and $169,301,221 for DEI mental health initiatives.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a $850,000 federal grant to “Centerstone’s LGBTQI+ Family Support Program” to provide training for military families to “affirm the gender identity” of their children.
The Federal government spends 80% of its annual $100 billion IT budget on maintaining outdated systems. Not only are older systems more expensive to maintain, but they are also more vulnerable to hackers.
MADISON: In the wake of yet another school shooting, FAUXTUS tweeted a call for more gun control. Comments on his tweet included –
“It is against the law to bring a gun into a school, it’s against the law for a teenager to have a gun and it’s against the law to shoot/kill people. So what magic law would make the difference that all the other laws didn’t?”
“Man who accidentally left 300,000 guns for Taliban gives lecture on gun control”
“Congress should defund Zelensky and fund armed school security.” REPLY: “An armed guard could be assigned to every public school in the USA in exchange for the 85,000 armed IRS agents Biden hired.”
“Gun grabbers were silent after rich kid murdered healthcare CEO.”
“I refuse to enter into a conversation about gun control with people who believe men can give birth.”

GERMANY: “There are, unfortunately, neighborhoods in Berlin with a majority of residents from Arab backgrounds where there is open sympathy for terrorist organizations and very blatant antisemitism.” This warning comes after “6,200 investigations related to antisemitism” in Germany since October 2023.
JESUS IS GOD: The earliest inscription declaring Jesus as God was discovered beneath the floor of an Israeli prison and is now on display in America. Known as the Megiddo Mosaic, the massive (581 square feet) piece dates from 230 AD. It is the oldest-known inscription outside of Scripture to declare the deity of Jesus Christ.
LAKEN RILEY: The illegal charged in her death has been found guilty on all charges. These included one count of malice murder, three counts of felony murder and one count each of kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, hindering an emergency telephone call, tampering with evidence, and being a ‘peeping Tom.’ The killer is a member of the Tren de Aragua gang that has set up shop in more than a dozen U.S. cities. This particular member, Jose Ibarra, is not only here illegally, but also, thanks to the Biden administration, was put up in hotels and flown to his preferred destination at taxpayers’ expense before he murdered Riley.

Rep. Nancy Mace, the congresswoman who has loudly objected to allowing McBride share her rest room is a rape survivor who suffers from chronic PTSD. McBride is a fully intact man who dresses up as a woman. In AOC’s teeny tiny brain, Mace has no right to be bothered about sharing her potty time with a penis.
