Saint Bernward (November 20) (also known as Berward) Born c.960; died at Hildesheim, 1022; canonized 1193 by Pope Celestine III. The Saxon Saint Bernward was ordained a priest by Saint Willigis in Mainz, and after serving as tutor and chaplain to Emperor Otto III was made bishop of Hildesheim in 993. His episcopate was disturbed by political and ecclesiastical troubles, including a seven-year dispute with Saint Willigis about the convent at Gandersheim. Bernward is one of the most attractive figures of medieval Germany- -a German Saint Dunstan. He is primarily remembered as a patron of the arts. He himself excelled as an architect, sculptor, decorator, painter and metal-worker, and Hildesheim became famous for its ‘school’ of sacred art: the Bernward bronze doors, cross, column, and candlesticks are still there to testify to its achievements. He was also responsible for building Saint Michael’s abbey church at Hildesheim, which has been said to ‘represent religious architecture in the …More

here. It never ceases to amaze me that in the modern world, people are primarily afraid of Cardinal Fernandez is seeing phantoms when he says that it is no longer advisable to use the title “Co-Redemptrix” for Mary. So I see nothing unreasonable in the idea that Mary, in a manner totally subordinate and arising from grace, participated in the work of Christ. The term Co-Redemptrix is not as shocking as some fear. And, honestly, if Cardinal Fernandez is afraid that people will put Mary on an equal footing with Christ, then the problem lies not with Mary, but with Fernandez. It is precisely Mary's presence that reminds me that the Christian faith is not an idea, a philosophy, or a moral system, but history. The factual reality of Mary's cooperation in the work of our redemption does not stem from human invention, but from the fact that God Himself decided to work through human mediation. Every step in the history of salvation shows that God does not act in spite of man, but through man …
Pope León XIV has urged the Churches of the Global South to firmly support the Paris Agreement during COP30, highlighting the moral urgency of responding to the climate crisis. In a video message from Belém, he stressed that the poorest are suffering the most from floods, droughts, and heat waves, and warned that the window to limit global warming is rapidly closing. While he praised international cooperation and called for concrete action, his strong alignment with UN climate narratives has sparked debate about how far the Church should engage with global political structures. The Pope insisted that the Church must act as a guardian of creation, balancing collaboration with the need to preserve its prophetic voice and doctrinal clarity.
The bishop underscored that there are millstones ready to be distributed to Pope Leo a “truckload” for the Roman curia, and a “cargo load” for the vast majority of the world’s bishops who frequently scandalize the “little ones.”
(LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Joseph Strickland, in a lengthy X post Friday, asked Pope Leo XIV and all of the bishops how much longer they’ll continue to serve two masters and “scandalize the little ones” by turning a blind eye to sin. In his November 14 post, the bishop emeritus of Tyler, Texas, questioned how long the bishops, the Vatican curia, and the Holy Father will continue to scandalize the faithful by their complacency in the celebration of irreverent and sacrilegious liturgies, welcoming same-sex “couples” into the Church without calling them to conversion, emphasizing welcoming migrants without addressing the effects of illegal immigration on native populations, and ultimately “halt between two masters.” (1 Kings 18:21) The bishop underscored that there are millstones ready to be distributed to Pope Leo a “truckload” for the Roman curia, and a “cargo load” for the vast majority of the world’s bishops who frequently scandalize the “little ones.” (Matthew 18:6) “How long …
1 Maccabees 2: Book of 1 Maccabees, Antiochus Epiphanes IV, Catholic Bible Study, Fr. Tim Peters 1st book of Maccabees 2,15-29. The officers of the king in charge of enforcing the apostasy came to the city of Modein to organize the sacrifices. Many of Israel joined them, but Mattathias and his sons gathered in a group apart. Then the officers of the king addressed Mattathias: "You are a leader, an honorable and great man in this city, supported by sons and kinsmen. Come now, be the first to obey the king's command, as all the Gentiles and the men of Judah and those who are left in Jerusalem have done. Then you and your sons shall be numbered among the King's Friends, and shall be enriched with silver and gold and many gifts." But Mattathias answered in a loud voice: "Although all the Gentiles in the king's realm obey him, so that each forsakes the religion of his fathers and consents to the king's orders, yet I and my sons and my kinsmen will keep to the covenant of our fathers.

Pope Leo XIV on Monday urged countries at United Nations climate talks to take “concrete actions” to stop climate change that is threatening the planet, telling them humans are failing in their response to global warming and that God’s creation “is crying out in floods, droughts, storms and relentless heat.” In a video message played for religious leaders gathered in Belem, Leo said nations had made progress, “but not enough.” “One in three people live in great vulnerability because of these climate changes,” Leo said. “To them, climate change is not a distant threat, and to ignore these people is to deny our shared humanity.” His message came as the talks were moving into their second week, with high-level ministers from governments around the world arriving at the edge of the Brazilian Amazon to join negotiations. Monday was dominated by speeches, with several leaders from Global South nations giving emotional testimony on devastating costs of recent extreme weather and natural …
“One in three people live in great vulnerability because of these climate changes." Hey Leo, the verb should be "lives" with the singular subject "One." Not very good at grammar, not very good at religion, But great at leftwing propaganda.
11/19/2025 This is not my first article about a political assassination. I have already written about the assassination of John Kennedy. I described a lesser-known murder of an Austrian scientist in the article: Why did he have to die? Today’s article deals with the background to another political assassination that took place on September 10, 2025, in the USA. Who benefits from the public, highly political assassination of Charlie Kirk? He was a major supporter of the Republican Party leadership, which is currently introducing AI on a large scale. Interestingly, many questions remain unanswered after Kirk’s assassination. Weapons experts contradict the FBI’s official account. Furthermore, the case is riddled with occult symbols and the symbols of secret societies. The main question appears to be: Is this all part of a much larger conspiracy against the already divided US population? Source. In an article published on Saturday on overton-magazin.de: JFK, MLK, RFK, CK – What is …
Around 50 transgender-identifying people joined other vulnerable groups at a Vatican lunch for the Jubilee of the Poor on November 16. Invitations were distributed through charities, not targeted to any specific group. Priest Andrea Conocchia, known for ministry to LGBT people, praised the event as a sign of openness. Some activists, including Alessia Nobile, expressed gratitude, though a few were disappointed not to sit near Pope Leo XIV. Organizers said seating was random and some activists arrived late.
Among the 1,300 guests at today's "Lunch for the Poor" event in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall were 48 transvestites. Many of them get money as homosexual prostitutes. As Leo XIV entered, one transvestite handed him an image of Our Lady. The Pope accepted it and moved to his table to address the crowd. Unlike in previous years, there were no transvestites seated at the main table with the Pope. Transvestite "Alessia" Nobile told WashingtonPost.com that he had managed to give a letter to Leo XIV: "The fact that he mingled with us and sat close to us is a good sign, right?" Curia Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who oversaw the organisation of the event, attempted to present the seating plan as a purely logistical decision. He claimed that places at the top table were given to poor parishioners who had attended an earlier Eucharist, while the transvestites arrived later and sat elsewhere. #newsYfuuupaion
NOVEMBER 20 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 19,41-44. As Jesus drew near Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If this day you only knew what makes for peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
