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 …
***The First Thanksgiving in North America was Catholic*** [From Tradition in Action-The TRUTH about Our Catholic History] 4 minute 42 second video - youtube.com/watch?v=4FguJcXjrSo On September 8, 1565, Admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and 800 Spanish settlers founded the city of St. Augustine in Spanish La Florida. As soon as they were ashore, the landing party celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving. [ The word “Eucharist” means “thanksgiving,” and so it is providence that the first Thanksgiving in America was the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. ] Afterward, Don Menéndez set out a meal and invited the native Seloy tribe to join them in the feast and festival. The celebrant of the Mass was St. Augustine’s first pastor, Fr. Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales, and the feast day was that of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In his personal chronicle, Fr. Lopez wrote that “the Indians imitated all they saw done.” What was the meal that followed? From the records of the time, it would …More
Russia is also the only country with multiple nuclear-powered heavy icebreakers, including those of the Project 22220 class – the largest in the world, capable of breaking through ice up to three meters thick. Ice breakers is not the only thing Russia has over the world. But Trump just won't accept that fact. Even as he sees the weapons Russia is using or testing for the world to see that we "do not have" nor close to it. Nor can we duplicate them.
O Canada, what happened to you? I remember visiting there as a child and Ontario was a clean, family friendly province that felt like an English-speaking Netherlands with pretty well-kept flower beds alongside highways. Had an occasion to return several years ago as an adult and it's all Indian shops, tattoo parlors, bars, & CBD stores!
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) is constructing a larger church on the outskirts of Charlotte, North Carolina. Attendance has increased noticeably since Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte curtailed most Masses in the Roman rite. Since 2 October, Bishop Martin has permitted the Roman rite only in a single diocesan chapel, which accommodates roughly 350 people. The FSSPX currently celebrates Masses at St. Anthony’s in Mount Holly. By late October and early November, attendance there had risen by about 100 people compared to early July. In response to this steady growth, the Fraternity’s leadership has authorized a search for property on which to build a new church. On 25 November, Jim De Piante, project manager for the new St. Anthony’s Church, told LifeSiteNews.com that the chapel has seen slow but consistent growth ever since Traditionis Custodes was issued. Bishop Martin has acknowledged that his single diocesan chapel is intentionally not large enough to accommodate …More
@jose g Rodriquez I understand the point you are trying to make, Jose, but remember, faithful Catholics are only those who adhere exclusively to all the authentic teachings, practices, and beliefs of the Catholic Church. As sincere as the members of a number of the aforementioned groups may be, not all are faithful Catholics.

Cling to Christ When Confusion Clouds the Church In a time of confusion and deception, it is crucial to remain grounded in the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic Church. False prophets and the Antichrist will attempt to mislead. By focusing on the signs Jesus provided, such as His return on the Mount of Olives, and staying faithful, it is possible to navigate these challenges. The Church’s trials are necessary for its resurrection, and God will use all events for salvation. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.
