Just days after being installed, the controversial Nativity scene on Brussels’ Grand-Place was vandalized: the cloth “bundle” used as the head of the infant Jesus’ head was stolen during the night between Friday and Saturday. A city spokesperson confirmed a replacement is underway. The faceless design of the scene had been sparking debate since its debut.

We continue posting Advent reflections by the Church Fathers. It's a good way to prepare to celebrate Christmas. The reflections and quotations come from the book called, Advent and Christmas with the Church Fathers by Marco Pappalardo. Introduction The soul is our true treasure and the greatest good we have. Without need for philosophical or theological reasoning, we all know full well—at least in theory—that we will bring nothing of real value with us to the grave except the way we have lived and made use of the talents we were given. All of this will not be buried with us, however, but will become a true treasure for heaven. We need to become cunning not so we can deceive our neighbour, but so we can avoid deceiving our soul for all eternity. Reflection by John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew, 77, 2ff. Be sure of this: "if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. …
12/01/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Euthanasia must be an essential instrument of our future societies, in all cases. Of course, we won’t be able to execute people or organize camps. We will get rid of them by making them believe it’s for their own good. Who said this? It wasn’t Bill Gates or Klaus Schwab. Nor did George Soros write these words. They were uttered in the same year that Microsoft introduced its first 8-bit operating system, MS-DOS. Jacques Attali, an advisor to former French President François Mitterrand, wrote in 1981: In the future, it will be about finding a way to reduce the population. We will start with the elderly, because once a person is over 60 or 65, they live longer than they produce, and that costs society dearly. Then the weak, and then the useless, who contribute nothing to society because their numbers are constantly growing, and finally, and above all, the stupid. Euthanasia is aimed at these groups. An excessively large and largely unnecessary …
LeoXIV at the Presidential Palace in Beirut: “On the first day of my visit to Lebanon, one of two countries that I am visıting on this first Apostolic voyage in my Pontificate, I happily wish many blessings upon all the people of Lebanon, praying that PEACE will reign.”
On November 6, the historic Ursuline chapel in Québec City was deconsecrated, closing a long chapter in the community’s life. Founded in 1639 by Saint Marie of the Incarnation, the Ursulines created the first institution for women’s education in North America north of New Spain. In recent decades their numbers dwindled, leaving the chapel too large for the remaining sisters. Some Ursulines will stay in Québec City.
Le 6 novembre 2025, la chapelle des Ursulines de Québec a été officiellement désacralisée, mettant fin à un long chapitre de leur histoire. Arrivées en Nouvelle-France en 1639 sous l’impulsion de sainte Marie de l’Incarnation, les Ursulines y avaient fondé la première institution d’éducation pour les femmes en Amérique du Nord, au nord de la Nouvelle-Espagne. Au fil de près de quatre siècles, la communauté a traversé épreuves, guerres et bouleversements politiques. Ces dernières décennies, la diminution du nombre de religieuses a rendu la chapelle trop vaste pour la communauté restante, menant à sa désacralisation. Quelques Ursulines demeurent toujours à Québec, et pour certains, cette fermeture symbolise les profondes transformations culturelles et religieuses du Québec contemporain.
I agree absolutely. Any fool knows what happens when you push the accelerator in your car, but they don't understand what is happening. Anyways, I like this one: "People's experience of the world is stunted, fueling their arrogance. Understanding the planet is no longer enough or important, people are intend on trying to change it." Sadly I don't remember where I picked that up.
HustleBitch @HustleBitch_ THE SKIN CANCER LIE: WHAT IF IT WAS NEVER THE SUN? According to the man in this video, a 1988 Australian study found something explosive. Two groups of hairless mice were given the same calories and the same UV exposure. As he puts it, “the only difference was the type of fat they ate.” He says the mice eating seed oils, the same oils in most processed foods, “started to develop skin tumors after UV exposure.” At the same time, “the mice eating saturated fat like butter were completely fine. Same UV light but no tumors.” And when researchers switched the protected mice over to seed oils, he says “tumors started showing up.” His summary is blunt: “seed oils plus sun equals tumors.” If this experiment is even partly accurate, then a huge piece of the skin cancer conversation may have been ignored for almost forty years. If this was discovered in 1988, who buried it and why?
I have to admit: I don't understand it. If there's a ship heading for a Russian port to load oil for foreign markets... There's nothing "shadowy" there. If that oil is bound for a country that hasn't imposed sanktions, I don't see any problem. Senegal, to my knowledge, along with the majority of all countries, doesn't have any sanktions... hence nobody is legally allowed to stop or even attack ships trading between Russia and Senegal.
