Canadian Bill Criminalizes Quoting Holy Scripture: In Canada, Bill C-9 would amend the Criminal Code by removing the religious exemption in Section 319(3)(b). The change could allow quoting Holy Scripture in good faith to be prosecuted as hate speech, with penalties of up to two years in prison. The proposal comes from the Liberal government. The Canadian Bishops' Conference has formally opposed the bill in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, warning of legal uncertainty for clergy, educators, and believers and a restriction of religious freedom.
The secular toxic legislation is largely an attack on Christians and Christian belief. The governing Liberal Party of Canada and the Bloc Party from Quebec have no respect for Christians. Today, Catholic Quebec that once was strong is dying quickly. How can you uproot your Christian heritage, the very foundations of the nation, and still have a country? You won’t. You have what former PM Justin Trudeau referred to as a post-nation state with no core values. We have posted several entries about this very sad development in Canada at Everyday for Life Canada.

We continue posting daily Advent reflections by the Church Fathers. It's a good way to prepare to celebrate Christmas. The reflections and quotations come from the book titled, Advent and Christmas with the Church Fathersby Marco Pappalardo. Introduction Good and evil are not far removed from human experience: they are the light and darkness of everyday life. There is a human and material good that needs to be illuminated by the light of Christ to prevent it from becoming evil; there are adversities that can plunge us into the darkest of depths without the burning flame of faith. We can choose to follow the light of the star or to remain motionless, lamenting the darkness. St. Augustine, Thus it is night down here; but this night seems to have its light and its shadows. If we call it night in general, what is its light? The prosperity and happiness of this world, temporal joy, and temporal honours are the quasi-light of this night. But the adversity and bitterness of tribulations and …
Australian woman fined $95k over addressing transvestite athletes as men: Kirralie Smith, an Australian women’s rights advocate, has been ordered by a New South Wales court to pay AUS$95,000 after referring "unlawfully" to two male transvestite players as 'male' in a series of social media posts.

Bishop Schneider promotes and celebrates the Mass in the Roman Rite, yet it is rarely celeberated in Kazakhstan, he told Adrian Milag in an online interview. Main points, video sequence below. - We have no altar girls in all Kazakhstan. It is banned. No women, no altar girls. - We have no Eucharistic ministers at all. - The only ordinary form to receive Holy Communion is kneeling and on the tongue, with the paten. There is no other possibility except for the sick. - Thanks be to God, our liturgies are very worthy… even in the Novus Ordo. - The people are pious and devoted. They don’t know the Latin Mass and some don’t even feel the necessity. If there would be a greater movement, it would be possible also. But until now we have not these considerable groups. - I celebrate in my private episcopal chapel the traditional Latin Mass and when I am teaching in the seminary, I also celebrate for the seminarians. - True ecumenism is that non-Catholics come back to the Church and embrace all …More
The way to interpret this is that Bishop Schneider believes that a reverent novus ordo is good enough for the faithful. Not good for his traditionalist credentials.
Bishop Schneider and Archbishop Vigano are among the few truly Catholic members of the hierarchy left in the Catholic Church. May Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces and Co-Redemptrix, continue to protect and keep them under Her Sacred Mantle.
The Amsterdam Apparitions - Lady of All Nations - 1of2 Sacred Heart Publications The Apparitions of the Lady of All Nations was declared to be of supernatural origin on the 31st of May, 2002. In July 2005, The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith requested, "that the words who once was Mary be left out of the prayer of the Lady of All Nations out of consideration for those who do not understand this phrase."

[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII-XVIII Century AD; Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); Bishop; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian; Founder; Doctor of the Church] “III - Happiness deriving from perfect Uniformity. Acting according to this pattern, one not only becomes holy but also enjoys perpetual serenity in this life. Alphonsus the Great, King of Aragon, being asked one day whom he considered the happiest person in the world, answered: “He who abandons himself to the will of God and accepts all things, prosperous and adverse, as coming from his hands.’’ “To those that love God, all things work together unto good.” Those who love God are always happy, because their whole happiness is to fulfill, even in adversity, the will of God. Afflictions do not mar their serenity, because by accepting misfortune, they know they give pleasure to their beloved Lord: “Whatever shall befall the …More
"There is a story to this effect in the “Lives of the Fathers” about a farmer whose crops were more plentiful than those of his neighbors. On being asked how this happened with such unvarying regularity, he said he was not surprised because he always had the kind of weather he wanted. He was asked to explain. He said: “It is so because I want whatever kind of weather God wants, and because I do, he gives me the harvests I want.’’ If souls resigned to God’s will are humiliated, says Salvian, they want to be humiliated; if they are poor, they want to be poor; in short, whatever happens is acceptable to them, hence they are truly at peace in this life. In cold and heat, in rain and wind, the soul united to God says: “I want it to be warm, to be cold, windy, to rain, because God wills it.”
The museum Künstlerhaus in Vienna, Austria, is presenting an exhibition titled “You Shall Make Yourself an Image.” It opened in late October 2025 and runs through 8 February 2026. The exhibition features about 40 provocateurs (“artists”) mocking Christian imagery. Catholic organizations and online petitions describe the exhibit as “blasphemous,” “insulting,” and as mocking key Christian symbols such as the crucifixion and imagery of the Virgin Mary. Works criticized include: - A wolf dressed in liturgical garments - A crucified frog - Portrayals of Mary as a trans woman or other provocative reinterpretations The Austrian right-wing party FPÖ (Austrian Freedom Party) condemned the exhibition as “a scandalous mockery of Christianity” and demanded that it be shut down, especially since it runs during Advent and Christmas and receives public funding. On Monday, a group of Catholics gathered outside the museum to protest the exhibition, including an act of penance prayer. However, …More
