Ich bei diesem Beitrag die KI bemüht und wollte mir die Zusammenfassung anschauen. Interessant die Einleitung dazu, nicht Up to date: "Die Aussage stammt aus dem Vatican News und bezieht sich auf denPapst, jedoch ist der Name „Pope Leo XIV“fehlerhaft oder fiktiv. Es gibt keinen bekannten Papst mit diesem Namen – der letzte papalische Titel warPapa Franziskus (2013–heute)."
“Chapter II - What Happened Before the Crucifixion After the Last Supper, when on the Mount of Olives, I gave Myself up to the pangs of cruel death, and when I felt that he was present before Me, I was bathed in a bloody sweat, because of the anguish of My tender Heart, and the agony of My whole bodily nature. I was ignominiously betrayed, taken prisoner like an enemy, rigorously bound, and led miserable away. After this I was impiously maltreated with blows, with spittle, with blindfolding, accused before Caiphas, and pronounced worthy of death. Unspeakable sorrows of heart were then seen in My dear Mother, from the first sight she had of My distress till I was hung upon the cross. I was shamefully presented before Pilate, falsely denounced, and sentenced to die. They stood over against Me with terrible eyes like fierce giants, and I stood before them like a meek lamb. I, the Eternal Wisdom, was mocked as a fool in a white garment before Herod, My fair body was rent and torn without …More
"Unspeakable sorrows of heart were then seen in My dear Mother, from the first sight she had of My distress till I was hung upon the cross. I was shamefully presented before Pilate, falsely denounced, and sentenced to die. They stood over against Me with terrible eyes like fierce giants, and I stood before them like a meek lamb. I, the Eternal Wisdom, was mocked as a fool in a white garment before Herod, My fair body was rent and torn without mercy by the rude stripes of whips, My lovely countenance was drenched in spittle and blood, and in this condition I was condemned, and miserable and shamefully led forth with My cross to death. They shouted after Me very furiously, so that: “Crucify, crucify the miscreant!” resounded to the skies."
If we are to 'serve our generation by the will of God,' it must be by the boldest and clearest enunciation of the great principles of Divine certainty in matters of Faith, and by pointing out the relations of Faith to human knowledge, scientific and moral. —Cardinal Manning
A 27-meter Norway spruce from the Ultimo Valley, Northern Italy, has been raised in St. Peter’s Square on Thursday. The nativity scene is also on its way, crafted in the Diocese of Nocera Inferiore–Sarno in Campania. According to the Vatican’s official announcement, it will blend regional architecture, traditional figures, and symbolic details. It will honor St. Alphonus Maria de Liguori, whose remains lay in the southern Italian diocese.
The huge Christmas tree and nativity scene at Saint Peter's Square are both under construction this weekend
Prevost attempts to reduce Catholic dogma to the Nicene Creed... In our prior post on ‘Pope’ Leo XIV’s newly-released ‘apostolic letter’ on the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, In Unitate Fidei, we provided a critical examination of much of its content: No Unity of Faith: Leo XIV Releases ‘Apostolic Letter’ Filled with Ecumenical Bilge and Other Errors In the last article of this pseudo-magisterial document, n. 12, the false pope speaks of the “ecumenical value” of Nicea. It is this we will now take a closer look at: Finally, the Council of Nicaea is relevant today because of its great ecumenical value. Indeed, the achievement of unity among all Christians was one of the main objectives of the last Council, the Second Vatican Council. Exactly thirty years ago, Saint John Paul II further promoted this conciliar message in his Encyclical Ut Unum Sint (25 May 1995). In this way, together with the great anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, we also celebrate the …More
Saint Silvester Gozzolini | Founder of the Sylvestrines | Catechism for Kids (November 26th) St Joseph's Corner Have you ever wondered how one person’s quiet search for God can grow into a whole religious family? On November 26, the Church celebrates Saint Silvester Gozzolini, an Italian priest who left behind a comfortable life to follow God more closely — and eventually founded the Sylvestrine Order, part of the Benedictine family. Born in 1177, Silvester served as a priest but felt called to deeper prayer after witnessing the funeral of a sinner who had avoided repentance. Shocked and moved, he sought a holier life and went into solitude near Montefano, where he prayed, fasted, and lived simply. Soon, disciples gathered around him, inspired by his holiness. This led to the creation of the Sylvestrines, a branch of the Benedictines known for their deep prayer, strict monastic life, blue habits, and love for simplicity. Saint Silvester spent his life teaching others how to love …More
Based on a true story, a priest is confronted with the confession of the man responsible for the death of his family. Warning, it has a lot of ad's. But I think well worth it. If you want to avoid them, click on a video to the right and click back to the movie. About 29 minutes long. A Great Day (Award Winning Catholic Short Film) "A Great Day" (winner of the New York Indie Film Festival Awards) is a powerful short film that captures the heart of the Catholic faith, revealing the profound beauty of true forgiveness, healing, and spiritual renewal through the sacramental life of the Church. Rather than merely telling, this film shows—through visual storytelling and prayerful moments—the real power of God’s grace in action. Set amidst the real struggles of everyday Christians, the story explores how brokenness, resentment, and guilt are not the end—but the beginning of transformation when brought to Christ. Through the presence and ministry of Catholic priests, the film depicts the vital …More
I SUNDAY OF ADVENT Lessons of the II Nocturne of Maitines Sermon of San León, Pope. Sermon 8 of the 10thº month's fast and alms. When the Savior instructed his disciples, and the whole Church in his Apostles, about the advent of the kingdom of God, and the end of the world and times, he said to them: "Beware of aggravating your hearts with the crapula and the drunkenness and the care of the century." Whose precept especially refers to us, since the announced day, although unknown to us, we do not doubt that it is close. For whose advent all men must prepare, lest he find someone dedicated to the care of his flesh or to the business of the century. Experience teaches us that the excesses in the drink overshadow the mind, and the satiety of delicacies decreases the vigor of the heart. The delights of food are contrary to health if they are not moderated by temperance and do not subtract from pleasure, which could become harmful. It is proper to the soul to deprive the body that is subject …More
In Announcing Pardon of Drug Trafficker While Threatening Venezuela, Trump Displays Contradictions nytimes.com/…25/11/29/us/politics/trump- … President Trump’s statements on social media less than 24 hours apart showed the dissonance in his campaign against drug trafficking. President Trump and his top aides have said that drug cartels present one of the most pressing dangers to the United States, and have promised to eradicate them from the Western Hemisphere. As part of that effort, Mr. Trump signaled on Saturday that he was ratcheting up his campaign against drug cartels, saying in a social media post that airspace above and surrounding Venezuela should be considered “CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.” Less than 24 hours earlier, Mr. Trump had announced on social media that he was granting a full pardon to Juan Orlando Hernández, a former president of Honduras who had been convicted in the United States of drug trafficking charges in what was seen as a major victory for authorities in a …More

Yes, "George Galloway Speaks Out on Being Forced Into Exile After Criticizing Ukraine War" with Tucker Carlson. From the YouTube video post: George Galloway has been elected to parliament seven times, and on many issues is one of the most conservative politicians in the U.K. But when he criticized the Ukraine war, he was detained by British police and had his property confiscated. He’s now in exile. This is a must see interview. If several times elected politician and well known broadcaster George Galloway can be detained and forced into exile for his safety, what can a corrupt government do, and is doing, to the little guy like you and me?

He has been elected to serve as a Member of Parliament seven times. Some of his shows on YouTube get more views than the government funded BBC. His online program is called, Straight Talk, Straight …
Love George. But he can get a little too excitable for me and too loud. I love how he speaks his mind and doesn't sugarcoat anything. Or speaks like he has to walk on eggshells. I guess that's why I loved Father Hesse and Father Isaac Relyea. They don't worry about feelings, they worry about the people and the lies that are told and to make sure the people get the truth.
By Lee Trewhela, Falmouth Packet, 26th Nov, 2025 CORNWALL COUNCIL || DIGITAL ID || LOCAL GOVERNMENT || CORNWALL AND ISLES OF SCILLY Cornwall Council has become the first local authority in the country to agree to write to the Government saying ‘no’ to its bid to introduce mandatory digital ID. The leader of the council even jokingly said he was willing to march to London as one of 20,000 Cornishmen on the matter. Conservative councillor Connor Donnithorne proposed a motion asking for the council to tell the Labour Government it was against the introduction of the proposed digital ID cards. He told a meeting of the full council: “It may sound modern, it might sound innovative and it may sound efficient. It sounds inevitable, but that’s exactly why we should be sceptical of it. Convenience must never come at the cost of personal liberty.” He said residents across Cornwall were “rightly” expressing genuine concern about the move. “It’s about the individual being in control of …
Ivan Kramskoi (1837–1887), Portrait of philosopher Vladimir Solovyov (source) Published in Paris in 1885, in order to protect the author from possible persecution by the Russian imperial authorities, Solovyov’s work La Russie et l’Église universelle (Russia and the Universal Church)1 contains a section whose reading played a decisive role in my conversion. This part of Solovyov’s book bears a significant title: “La Monarchie Ecclésiastique fondée par Jésus-Christ” (“The Ecclesiastical Monarchy Founded by Jesus Christ”). From the very beginning, the Russian thinker emphasizes through this title that the hierarchy of the Church is monarchical, with its invisible head—God—being analogously and symbolically represented by a visible head—the Pope. Undoubtedly the most important speculative Russian thinker of all time, Solovyov gives headaches to “Orthodox” Eastern theologians who do everything they can to erase the traces of his conversion. Beyond the strictly biographical aspects …
Once Received the Same 'Piggy' Insult He Hurled at Reporter During a nasty public feud in the '80s, the mayor of New York ridiculed Trump as a greedy "piggy."

In the 1980s, the rising real estate tycoon had his sights set on developing a flashy and controversial new complex in New York City's Upper West Side, which he planned to call "Television City" in hopes that the set of towers would replace …More
