GOP senators to join Democrats in investigating Pete Hegseth ‘kill everybody’ allegations Senators from both sides of the political aisle will join forces to investigateallegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered there to be no survivors in U.S. airstrikes on alleged drug-running boats. GOP Senator Roger Wicker, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Democratic Senator Jack Reed announced the decision in a joint statement Saturday.

FACE OFF - The irony of claiming to fight vigorously against drugs and organized crime, Trump full pardons Nov 28, 2025 ex narco president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernandez convicted for 45 years by the U.S. for trafficking tons of drugs into the U.S., furthermore Trump is bribing Honduran people to vote for him as a president, Honduras has been throughout history a geopolitical key to control the North (Mexico), central America, and South America. While Trump accuses Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia of drug trafficking, he pardons a president who was and still is a drug trafficker. He is after the resources of those 3 nations (Mex; Ven; Col); Honduras with a population of barely 9 million has always been easy to manipulate, control and bribe. Trump wants to gain access and power again over the rest of America starting from Mexico and all the way down. His cynicism has gone far beyond heaven, blaming democrats for all his evils, including the recent shooting of 29 yr old afghan who …More

Our Lady of Ratisbon - December 1st, 2025 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 06:22 True Devotion to Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice | WhatsApp Channel Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree
Pope Leo XIV proclaimed the "all-brothers-idea" at the Ecumenical Prayer Service held near the archaeological excavations of the ancient Basilica of Saint Neophytos in İznik on November 28. He said: "Regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion or personal perspectives, there is a universal fraternity of men and women. Religions, by their very nature, are repositories of this truth and should encourage individuals, groups, and peoples to recognise and practise it."
First, the distinction must be made that other religions outside the Roman Catholic church do not worship the same God because they reject many of the dogmas of the Catholic Church. Prevost is preaching against the 1st commandment.
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 …
As we did during Lent this year, we will post for 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. First Sunday of Advent Introduction “The Mass has ended; go in peace!” How many times we have heard these words, and how often we instantly forget them as soon as we step foot outside the Church and meet with outstretched hands at the door, or once we have stopped at a red light. And yet the Mass just ended moments ago: we encountered Christ in the Eucharist! What does it mean to go in peace? What peace? Our heart should be restless after the celebration, ardently desiring consolation for those who suffer and striving to think of things to do for the poor, however great or small. The Mass does not end with the final blessing and recessional hymn; rather, this is the moment that it opens into our daily life. Reflection from …

The Ukrainian president has so far resisted negotiations with Moscow, but with corruption scandals undermining trust and battlefield losses piling up, his grip on power may be weakening. Meanwhile, Russia continues its advance, betting that time and attrition will eventually compel Kyiv to the negotiating table. There won't be anyone left for him to continue. Including foreign countries in Ukraine. Both soldiers and mercenaries. They are either dying off or running away or heading for Russia. Over 100,000 has given themselves up in about a month or two. That's how bad it is in Ukraine.
This is a great reflection to begin this Sunday the 2025 season of Advent. It's titled, "Waiting for Christ" and comes from daily liturgical guide the Magnificat. It was written by St. John Henry Newman. He was born in 1801 and died in 1890. He converted to Catholicism. He was made a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1879. Newman was a great preacher and writer. And he is a saint. Here's his Advent reflection, "Waiting for Christ." Each new year, as it passes, brings us the same warnings again and again, and none perhaps more impressive than those with which it comes to us at this season…. The year is worn out. Spring, summer, autumn, each in turn, have brought their gifts and done their utmost, but they are over, and the end is come…. Thus the soul is cast forward upon the future, and in proportion as its conscience is clear and its perception true does it rejoice solemnly that the night is advanced, the day is at hand, that there are a new heaven and a new earth (Rv 21:1) to come, though …
