“I am in favour of moving ahead quickly with the ordination of women to the diaconate,” English Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe OP, 80, told Telegraph.co.uk on January 6. On female priests, he added that it is “complicated”: “It’s not the most important question. Ordination to the priesthood isn’t the big priority. It has to be done with the consent of the whole Church.” Beautiful Touching Between Elderly Men Cardinal Radcliffe is a friend of the late Pope Francis. In 2016, while recovering from an operation on his jaw following a cancer diagnosis, he attended a conference in Rome with the then pope: “He came over and rested his forehead on my forehead for about 30 seconds. Nothing was said. It was beautiful.” Leo XIV in Continuity with Francis, but Better Manners Pope Leo XIV was elected partly “to bring back people who had been alienated by Francis”, and partly to continue his predecessor’s work. "We chose Leo because he could do both – he could move it on but also gather people in …More

Today he joins Kevin Nelson in the living room to chat about embryo adoption. He defines embryo adoption for us and why there is controversy around the topic, talks about how there is no official Church teaching on it, his professional opinion as an ethicist, his recent debate on this topic with another Catholic priest, what the points of his opposing position and what his reasons were, if a Catholic couple can choose this option prudently or if it is a grave sin, some alternatives to embryo adoption that still recognize the dignity of the human life of the embryo but doesn’t force a couple to engage in in-vitro fertilization, and where viewers can learn more about his work.

On 6 January, the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland published a statement addressing Scotland’s abortion buffer zone legislation. It follows the first person charged under the new law. The legislation establishes exclusion zones of up to 200 metres around approximately 30 abortion facilities nationwide. Within these zones, conduct deemed to 'influence' decisions relating to abortion may constitute a criminal offence. The bishops described the law as vague and draconian, adding that it restricts critical voices from democratic debate in the public sphere. The statement followed the arrest of Rose Docherty, 75, who was detained in autumn 2025 for holding up a sign in silence. It read: "Coercion is a crime. Here to talk. Only if you want." Ms Docherty was standing within the buffer zone surrounding the abortion facility at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Ms Docherty was released after several hours in custody and later appeared in court. The bishops noted that, when consulted on the …More
Pope Leo XIV delivering the English summary of his first General Audience catechesis of a new cycle on Vatican II, saying: “We see that the documents have lost none of their relevance and are pertinent to the demands and challenges of today. Closely studying the Council documents will help us to be attentive interpreters of the signs of the times, and to proclaim the Gospel to all.”
What he is really saying is, screw the Bible and what Christ taught, and screw the idea of repentance, just pay attention to the documents in the Second Vatican Council, that's most important.
On Epiphany, Cardinal Raymond Burke celebrated Mass in the Roman Rite at the Chiesa della Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini in Rome entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. During his homily, he reflected on how, like the Magi, we may sometimes lose sight of our star and experience a sense of uncertainty. He believes that it is God's will for us to turn to the Church and those who represent Him among us. He added that Christ comes to us through his priests, who are sacramentally configured to him as head and shepherd of the flock in every time and place. He continued: "Despite their unworthiness, they receive the grace to exercise His pastoral charity, which is ever at work for our eternal salvation."

Other prophecies also confirm this, there will be a (short) war in March of 2026 and the Great Warning will also happen that exact year. We will lose internet for a period of time, because it's mostly just distraction...
The Russian army is urgently evacuating the staff of the Russian embassy along with their families in Israel and returning them to Russia. This is the third flight by Russia in the past 24 hours to evacuate its embassy in Israel. There are some news that Russia has been informed of apparently. Pray the Rosary......prions le Très Saint rosaire et faisons pénitence.....urgent...la guerre est à notre porte !
Don't believe everything you read in the news. On the other hand since Russia's KGB works hand in glove with the Mossad it is likely there will be a false flag event and Russia is in on the planning! So there! Believe what you want but not silly prophecies from someone who "saw the assassination attempt," total fakery 101 folks!
Iran is planning an attack in the middle of the night, probably with bio weapons. That's what was shown to Brandon Biggs (youtube.com/channel/UCBqj7_4xib9pKATW4394PmQ) in a prophetic vision.

07.01.2025 CARDINALS AT THE CONSISTORY CAN NO MORE BE ‘OPEN MINDED’ SINCE THE THEOLOGY IS NO MORE THERE IN VATICAN COUNCIL II Catholics can no more be told to be ‘open minded’ since the theology is no more there in Vatican Council II for liberalism. The Council is exclusivist on salvation and with Ad Gentes 7 it is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the ecclesiology of the Roman Missal. So there is no room for liberalism any more. We cannot still pretend that invisible and implicit cases of the baptism of desire (LG 14) are explicit examples of salvation outside the Church in 1965-2025.So the dogma extra ecclesium nulla salus is obsolete. No. It is liberalism based on the irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II- confusing what is implicit as being explicit-which is obsolete. The new theology based upon this confusion, as held by the cardinals at the Consistory this month, is obsolete. The Consistory cannot be open to the LGBT agenda, since the liberal …More
Mon Jan 5, 2026 - 8:51 am EST VENTIMIGLIA, Italy (LifeSiteNews) — The Diocese of Ventimiglia–San Remo has installed a bell dedicated to unborn children at its episcopal headquarters, prompting criticism from leftist political figures. On December 28, 2025, the Diocese of Ventimiglia–San Remo inaugurated the “Bell for Unborn Children” at the tower of the diocesan curia building in Ventimiglia, north-western Italy, as an initiative promoted by Bishop Antonio Suetta to raise awareness about unborn life, encourage reflection on abortion laws, and convey a message of hope and prayer. This action has since attracted strong objections from representatives of the centre-left in the region of Liguria.

"Mark the disciple and interpreter of Peterwrote a short gospel at the request of the brethren at Rome embodying what he had heard Peter tell. When Peter had heard this, he approved it and published it to the churches to be read by his authority as Clemens in the sixth book of his Hypotyposes and Papias, bishop of Hierapolis, record. Peter also mentions this Mark in his first epistle, figuratively indicating Rome under the name of Babylon She who is in Babylon elect together with you salutes you and so does Mark my son."
[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; Stridon, Roman Empire/Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; aged 75-78, Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] “Chapter 7 Luke a physician of Antioch, as his writings indicate, was not unskilled in the Greek language. An adherent of the apostle Paul, and companion of all his journeying, he wrote a Gospel, concerning which the same Paul says, We send with him a brother whose praise in the gospel is among all the churches and to the Colossians Luke the beloved physician salutes you, and to Timothy Luke only is with me. He also wrote another excellent volume to which he prefixed the title Acts of the Apostles, a history which extends to the second year of Paul's sojourn at Rome, that is to the fourth year of Nero, from which we learn that the book was composed in that same city. Therefore the Acts of Paul and Thecla and all the fable about the lion baptized by him we reckon among the apocryphal writings, for how is it possible that …More
Sex robots represent a technological attempt to replace authentic human relationships with artificial substitutes, which violates the dignity of the human person and the relational nature of sexuality.
What would be the essential difference than what is taught and believed today about marriage? Carnal pleasure is the new divine standard, a "gift from God." The most "authentic human relationship" is virginal (Adam & Eve before sin and the New Adam and Eve). As long as we believe that the "greatest manifestation of human love" involves carnal pleasure, this can be accomplished in an infinite number of sterile ways, including NFP.
