Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments. Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.
Stand Firm When Persecution Tests Your Fidelity The gospel reading warns of persecution for believers, a reality seen throughout history and in modern times. While the form of persecution is uncertain, the key is to remain faithful to God, even in the face of death, as the example of martyrs can be more powerful than words. The collective charity and faithfulness of Christians ultimately bring an end to persecution, as seen in historical examples like the Carmelite nuns in France. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

French Archbishop Allows Illegal Immigrants to Occupy a Church: On Sunday, 23 November, about fifty young undocumented migrants occupied Saint-Polycarpe Church in Lyon with the parish priest’s approval. Archbishop Olivier de Germay announced via the Archdiocese of Lyon’s official account that he would not call the police and would allow the group to enter the church each afternoon and evening so it can remain open for prayer. He said this was an emergency response and that political leaders still bear responsibility for addressing the wider migration situation. Saint-Polycarpe, a protected historic monument from the 17th–18th centuries, houses an 1841 organ by Augustine Zeiger.

Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes American Health Insurance is legalized racketeering. It’s a scam American doctor calls the hospital to get self pay pricing for a patient for pregnancy care -Hospital response: “If they're self-pay, they give them a package price which would include the delivery and all of the services that they might need during the nine-month period” -Doctor “If you could give me the package price? -” Hospital “$5,730.37 and this is for a routine vaginal delivery with pre and post care in the hospital.” -Doctor “Okay, so does that cover like the hospital facility fee or is that just the OBGYN group fee?” - Hospital “It is both. It includes all of it” Insurance pricing would be 2-3x+ this cost
Hitler in church instead of Satan Scandalous images are hidden in several churches in Germany and France. Amid evangelical and biblical scenes, among patriarchs, saints, and apostles, none other than Adolf Hitler appears! But what? Catholic parishes glorifying the leader of a criminal regime? It's a typical social media reaction, from those who stop at the headlines, who are immediately and professionally scandalized, and who post comments without thinking, without delving deeper. In fact, all it takes is a little research, a visit, or a look at the images to immediately understand the context in which these works were created. Hitler among the idols For the cover of this article, for example, we chose what appears on the stained glass window of the small church in Vasperviller, a village of 300 inhabitants in Lorraine (France). The protagonist is Rachel, a biblical figure known for an episode in Genesis in which she steals her father Jacob's idols when he fled with his family. In the …More
I have no doubt hitler was an enemy of my cousins, the German people. Here in the States they are trying to resurrect Hitler as a savior figure, take for example the Fuentes character!
Escobar also questioned provisions involving the confiscation of Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction. He described such measures as unacceptable to the Kremlin and a likely deal-breaker, adding that only a fifth of the proposed plan acknowledges Russia’s demands, while failing to reflect Moscow’s current battlefield leverage. It would be unacceptable to anyone. Not just the Kremlin. This is just another mess from Trump and his administration. Another deception pretending they want peace. Making a peace plan that is worthless, but making sure people see it as a peace plan.
I thank GOD for two things in this mess Europe and the US has made in Ukraine and Russia. 1. I see the truth of exactly what the Russians say and not the propaganda we get. 2. I hear from people who are actually in Russia keeping communications going and trying to see if there is anything they can do to help and stop the propaganda. Many people are in and out of Russia. They talk directly to Sergey Lavrov and Maria Zakharova and others in Russia. Larry Johnson I believe may still be in Russia talking to them. As we can see in his article Pepe Escobar is back again. And Rick Sanchez who has a studio in Russia. They have first hand information from Russia. Not speaking for them. Not twisting what anyone says. Not editing anything. But real conversations as they happen.
Sky News Australia and The Australian have accused the ABC of distorting a speech by Donald Trump on the day of the attack on the US Capitol, 6 January 2021. On Wednesday the ABC’s managing director, Hugh Marks, is due to appear at the National Press Club, where he may face questions over similarities or otherwise between the two programs. What did the two broadcasters do? Both Panorama and Four Corners used excerpts from Trump’s speech at the Ellipse before the storming of the Capitol building on 6 January 2021. While the BBC spliced together two sentences almost an hour apart, the ABC edited a single grab, omitting some repetition and a complete sentence between two statements. The BBC edit The episode of Panorama in question was broadcast shortly before the 2024 US election. The edit was highlighted in a dossier from a former external adviser to the BBC’s editorial standards committee that was leaked to the UK’s Daily Telegraph. Trump’s speech was edited by Panorama to put together …
