The Light the Darkness Cannot Overcome The darkness covering the earth and the mist obscuring people’s vision are contrasted with the grace given to the Magi, allowing them to seek and worship the newborn King. This grace, a gift from God, enables individuals to recognize and desire truth, despite the prevalent darkness and rejection of goodness and righteousness in the world. The darkness of the world is increasing, but the light of God will always prevail. We must choose to be the light, even in the face of persecution, by relying on God’s grace and allowing His light to shine through us. This means living our faith with charity, mercy, and compassion, remembering that we were once in darkness ourselves. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

The Synod on Synodality was an “ironclad manipulation,” Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, said in his three-minute intervention at the consistory held January 7–8. The text of his speech was published on the Substack account of Edward Pentin CardinalNews.Substack.com. Prior to the consistory, Cardinal Zen was received in private audience by Pope Leo XIV. Synod’s Invocation of the Holy Spirit Verges on Blasphemy In his intervention, Cardinal Zen criticized the late Pope Francis and the synodal process he initiated: “The ironclad manipulation of the process is an insult to the dignity of the Bishops, and the continual reference to the Holy Spirit is ridiculous and almost blasphemous.” Francis, he said, expected “surprises” from the Holy Spirit. Cardinal Zen responded: “What surprises? That He should repudiate what He inspired in the Church’s two-thousand-year Tradition?” Cardinal Zen noted that Francis bypassed the Episcopal College, listened directly to selected members of the laity, and …More

This is the only photograph ever taken of the Brothers Grimm. You know their fairy tales—but you don't know what they really did. A daguerreotype studio in Germany. Two elderly men sit stiffly for the camera—new technology that requires them to remain motionless for several seconds. Jacob is 62, his younger brother Wilhelm is 61. They've spent their entire adult lives working side by side. This single photograph would become the only authenticated image of both brothers together. Most people know them for one thing: Grimm's Fairy Tales. Cinderella. Snow White. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Rumpelstiltskin. Stories that have been told to children for two centuries, adapted into countless films, embedded so deeply in our culture that we forget they came from somewhere—from someone. But here's what most people don't know: the Brothers Grimm didn't write fairy tales. They rescued them. THE MISSION THAT STARTED EVERYTHING Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm were born just one year …More
Roman Rite Not Central Question for Cardinal Müller: “The Church has to discuss how to go on with these questions about the old and the new rite,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told EWTN on January 8: “I think Pope Leo XIV will find a good solution for everybody.” Cardinal Müller believes that this “is not the central question for the Church today.” He added: “We are living in times of secularization and atheism, in some great anti-Christian political systems, and we also face the Woke ideology and a false anthropology, which are absolutely in contradiction to the Christian understanding of human dignity.” Because time was limited at the consistory, he said, the cardinals preferred to speak about these major challenges facing the Church rather than about internal Church matters, he claimed.
Gerhard Müller confirmed to EWTN that the traditional Latin Mass was not discussed in the consistory this week. The cardinals “preferred to speak about the great (external) challenges of the Church and not so much aspects inside the Church”
Pope Leo XIV met today with members of the Diplomatic Corps. Key points of his address largely drawing from St Augustine and Benedict XVI and Francis. Main phrases. - This past year saw […] the return to the Father’s house of my venerable predecessor, Pope Francis. The whole world gathered around his coffin on the day of his funeral, and sensed the loss of a father who had guided the People of God with immense pastoral charity. - The weakness of multilateralism is a particular cause for concern at the international level. A diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force, by either individuals or groups of allies. Peace as Domination - War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. - The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. - “Peace” is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting …More
Found online, look at it @Jeffrey Ade A BURIED CIA VIDEO JUST SURFACED… AND ERIKA KIRK IS IN IT A 10-year-old documentary about EMP attacks and U.S. power grid vulnerability has quietly surfaced - and buried inside it is Erika Kirk. She’s not observing. She’s not a host. She’s in a role most civilians never get near, briefing national security professionals alongside a former CIA National Security & Energy Specialist on how an EMP or coordinated physical attack could collapse the U.S. power grid. This isn’t casual footage. It’s technical. It’s inside-baseball. And it’s the exact kind of material most people never get near, let alone present. Which raises some very uncomfortable questions: Why was she in that role? What qualified her to brief on national security threats? Who brought her into that room, and why is none of it explained? Back then, this clip passed quietly. Today, with everything surrounding her, it hits very differently. At what point do “coincidences” stop being …More
Minnesota Diocese Gives ‘Ad Orientem’ Worship a Shot: Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass.
Laminin is a large extracellular matrix protein made of three different polypeptide chains (α, β, and γ). These chains assemble into a structure with: One long arm (formed mainly by the α chain) Three shorter arms (from the β and γ chains) Together, these four arms radiate from a central point, giving laminin its characteristic cruciform (cross-like) appearance, especially in electron microscopy images.
The molecule that holds every human being together is shaped like a cross.
Unfortunately, some Catholics think she is a martyr. She left her child and devoted her time to protesting, which is not a maternal attribute. She also became a lesbian, so she sure is no candidate for sainthood.
Because in the bizarro world of the woke Leftist - you're a martyr if killed by the "evil" police, but just inconvenient if murdered by the protected POC migrant class.
NYTIMES: Pope Leo Rebukes a ‘Zeal for War’ That He Sees as Spreading Globally nytimes.com/…9/world/europe/pope-leo-address- … The pontiff used an annual address to ambassadors to the Vatican to condemn countries that prioritized violence over diplomacy to achieve their goals. Amid escalating threats across the globe, Pope Leo XIV used an annual address on Friday to the diplomatic corps to the Vatican to forcefully condemn “a diplomacy based on force” and a “zeal for war.” Nations must commit to work together to follow international laws and “cannot depend on mere circumstances and military or strategic interests,” Pope Leo told the diplomats in the speech, which amounts to a sort of annual papal foreign policy statement. Leo did not mention any world leaders by name. But his remarks were pointed given the events of recent days, including the Trump administration’s military operation in Venezuela and threats against Greenland, and on a day when Russia said it had attacked …More
