We need more people not to be afraid to share their faith, their belief in God in the public square, in this post-modern secular world. The baptized have a mission not to accommodate the world but to convert and transform it supernaturally. Good for Buble.
Isaiah 48:17-19 “Your peace would be like a river, your vindication like the waves of the sea.” By allowing the Lord to live within us and receive his grace, we open a window of possibilities. Matthew 11:16-19 “We played the flute for you, but you did not dance.” Sometimes we are ingenious in seeking all sorts of ways to reach people, but in our experience, this doesn't work. The shortest path is to lead the person into God’s heart to notice and receive his grace. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
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
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 'I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he' (Lk 7:28). Receiving such a compliment from Jesus must have been something extraordinary for John the Baptist, even though he did not receive it in person in this case. But this is much more than a gesture of affection: there is an awareness of the mission of the one who comes before, the need to prepare the way, and the expectation about to be fulfilled—an expectation that always involves an encounter. John’s 'not yet' transforms into Christ’s 'already.' During Advent our expectation is therefore accompanied by the certainty of fulfillment: we know that the birth of the Lord will arrive after a precise number …
Homosex "Blessing" in Argentinian Cathedral: On 10 December, ElWanderer.com published the audio message from an anonymous Catholic woman who was horrified by a blessing of homosexuals in the Cathedral of San Isidro in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina. The sacrilege occurred a few weeks ago. The woman's words in the audio are as follows: "In the cathedral, in the chapel where the tabernacle is, right in front of the Blessed Sacrament, at 6:15 p.m., they have just performed a blessing for two lesbian women dressed as brides in front of God, before the living Lord in the tabernacle. I told the priest: 'One thing is accompaniment, but we can’t consent to sin, much less bless it.' He replied, 'It's pastoral.'"
Elwanderer.com: " Les pido que escuchen este breve audio de una mujer católica horrorizada por lo que acababa de ver en la catedral de San Isidro. El hecho ocurrió hace pocas semanas."
Thursday of the second week of Advent. Of the Purest Conception of our Lady. DAILY MEDITATIONS OF THE MYSTERIES OF OUR HOLY FAITH, By the P. Alonso de Andrade FROM THE COMPANY OF JESUS. PRAYER TO BEGIN By the sign of the Holy Cross, from our enemies delier us, Lord, our God. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. My Lord and my God: I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with deep reverence. I ask you for forgiveness of my sins and grace to make this time of prayer fruit. My Mother Immaculate, Saint Joseph, my father and lord, my guardian Angel: intercede for me. MEDITATION V. Thursday of the second week of Advent. Of the Purest Conception of our Lady. POINT ONE. Consider how having determined the Eternal Word to become man, to honor human nature, and to raise the Blessed Virgin to be his Mother, he worked out the fabric, as St. Ambrose says, that he had to dress in the lineage of Abraham and David, adorning it, and …More
Cardinal Baltazar Porras, emeritus of Caracas, Venezuela, was banned from leaving the country as he was boarding a plane. He was told that he won't be allowed to leave Venezuela anymore. Last month Porras said that Venezuela lives a situaton "morally unacceptable."
Cardinal Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo, emeritus of Caracas, was stopped from leaving Venezuela on December 10. Authorities at Simón Bolívar International Airport annulled his passport as he prepared to board a flight to Madrid. Officials informed him he was under a travel ban, confiscated his passport, and detained him for about two hours before sending him back to his residence. He was escorted even to go to the bathroom. Authorities claimed “non-compliance with travel regulations” and required Cardinal Porras to sign a document confirming he could not travel. The cardinal reported that when he attempted to photograph the document, he was threatened with arrest. He also said an officer told him he appeared as “deceased” in the government system, which was used to justify the passport cancellation. The incident follows growing tension between the Venezuelan government and the Church. Weeks earlier, Cardinal Porras had described the situation in Venezuela as “morally unacceptable …More
Asked when he will move into the Apostolic Palace, Pope Leo XIV says “There is no date yet; I am comfortable where I am, in the [Palace of the] Holy Office."
When leaving Castel Gandolfo yesterday, Pope Leo XIV was asked by journalists why, unlike his predecessors, he had not prayed inside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul on 29 November. "Who said I didn't pray?" Leo XIV replied. “They said I didn’t, but I already explained on the plane – I mentioned a book – and perhaps I am praying even now.” The book in question was 'The Practice of the Presence of God' by Brother Lawrence. Leo XIV added that it is a matter of style and place of prayer, and that his favorite place to pray is a Catholic church in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. He called it "curious" that this moment had attracted so much attention. When asked when he will move into the Apostolic Palace, Pope Leo XIV said: "There is no date yet. I am comfortable where I am, in the Holy Office." Regarding US President Donald Trump, Pope Leo XIV believes that he is trying to break the "alliance" between the United States and Europe. He said: "The recent remarks made in interviews about …More

Last time? I hope so. Western commentators have claimed for years that Putin is driven by nostalgia for the USSR, citing his remarks that its collapse was the “greatest geopolitical disaster” of the 20th century. The Russian leader has said on many occasions that he was disturbed when ethnic Russians found themselves divided by national borders, among other negative consequences of the dissolution. However, people vying for a Soviet revival “have no head,” he has said. Yes! Many occasions he has said that. I heard it many times myself.
There is a post from a yt channel who is new to yt. Only 46 subscribers since January 2025. QRS NEWS TV. They are posting from fake news and now someone posted it on gtv. People who make video's from someone like NYT is not to be trusted. People from Ukraine who say the opposite of millions of other Ukrainians is not to be trusted. And those who have no proof. Just a sob story full of propaganda.
Clearly anyone can see the revival of the USSR as a fruit of Russia's aggression against the Ukraine. They have switched to a war economy and are strengthening relations with the brutal communist regimes such as Red China and North Korea. If this isn't for a planned assault on the Christian West then what is it for? You know your enemies by their bed fellows!
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
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.

During Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Piazza di Spagna on December 8, a minor incident occurred as the papal motorcade was departing. Two female animal-rights activists attempted to display a sign calling for an end to animal fighting. Police intervened and stopped the women before they could unfurl the banner. The popemobile briefly slowed, then continued its route without further issues.
Mentre Papa Leone XIV lasciava piazza di Spagna, la polizia italiana ha immediatamente fermato il tentativo di alcune attiviste di Peta (People for the Ethical treatment of animals) che si erano avvicinate alle transenne per alzare degli striscioni in modo da renderli visibili al Pontefice. La Papamobile si è fermata per qualche momento mentre gli uomini della polizia italiana procedevano ad abbassare gli striscioni. Dopo poco la Papamobile con a bordo il Pontefice ha ripreso la marcia verso il Traforo.
More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
