Stand Firm When Persecution Tests Your Fidelity
The gospel reading warns of persecution for believers, a reality seen throughout history and in modern times. While the form of persecution is uncertain, the key is to remain faithful to God, even in the face of death, as the example of martyrs can be more powerful than words. The collective charity and faithfulness of Christians ultimately bring an end to persecution, as seen in historical examples like the Carmelite nuns in France.

Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments.
Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.

Bilancio Santa Sede 2024: crescono le buste paga, non le entrate

Città del Vaticano – La Segreteria per l’Economia ha pubblicato oggi, mercoledì 26 novembre, il Bilancio Consolidato 2024 della Santa Sede. Per comprenderne appieno la portata è necessario confrontarlo con i rendiconti del 2022 e del 2023, analizzati nel loro perimetro più significativo: quello senza gli enti ospedalieri, che costituiscono un comparto economico autonomo e non rappresentativo della gestione ordinaria della Curia.
Diversamente da quanto riportato da Vatican News e dalle dichiarazioni del Prefetto della Segreteria per l’Economia, Maximino Caballero Ledo, il quadro che emerge dai documenti ufficiali è ben più articolato, e non giustifica toni trionfalistici. I numeri mostrano infatti un miglioramento progressivo del risultato operativo, che passa da un deficit di –52,4 milioni nel 2022, a –46,5 milioni nel 2023, fino ai –33,5 milioni del 2024. Una riduzione importante, certo, ma che non modifica la natura del problema: il deficit resta strutturale e continua a …

Bishop Beckman: I Know You Are Hurting, But Go Pound Sand

Bishop Beckman did not even attempt to request a dispensation from Rome.
Earlier this month, Bishop Mark Beckman of the diocese of Knoxville
announced he planned to terminate the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) in his diocese. On November 25, 2025, Bishop Mark Beckman sent a letter to the faithful confirming his plan to proceed with the TLM cancellation. His two-page letter can be basically summarized in four bullet points:
I have received numerous communications from you regarding the TLM.
I realize you are experiencing deep sadness.
I believe Pope Francis’ Traditionis Custodes was inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Thus, I have chosen not to ask for a TLM dispensation.
But don’t worry, Beckman will likely not impose any restrictions on modernist interpretations of the Novus Ordo.

French Archbishop Allows Illegal Immigrants to Occupy a Church: On Sunday, 23 November, about fifty young undocumented migrants occupied Saint-Polycarpe Church in Lyon with the parish priest’s approval. Archbishop Olivier de Germay announced via the Archdiocese of Lyon’s official account that he would not call the police and would allow the group to enter the church each afternoon and evening so it can remain open for prayer. He said this was an emergency response and that political leaders still bear responsibility for addressing the wider migration situation. Saint-Polycarpe, a protected historic monument from the 17th–18th centuries, houses an 1841 organ by Augustine Zeiger.

L'archevêque de Lyon cède à l'occupation de l'une de ses églises par des dizaines d'immigrés

Dimanche dernier, des dizaines de jeunes immigrés en situation illégale ont occupé l’église Saint-Polycarpe de Lyon. L’archevêque a décidé de les laisser y rester, invoquant la précarité croissante de la vie en France.
Et tant pis pour le culte ?
Dimanche dernier, le 23 novembre, un groupe d’une cinquantaine de jeunes immigrés en situation ilégalle a occupé l’église Saint-Polycarpe à Lyon avec l’approbation du curé. L’archevêque, Monseigneur Olivier de Germay, a annoncé qu’il ne comptait pas faire appel à la police pour les déloger.
L’annonce a été faite sur le compte officiel de l’archidiocèse de Lyon, Église catholique à Lyon, où l’archevêque a expliqué ses intentions : « Après consultation avec le curé, j’ai décidé de ne pas solliciter l’intervention de la police. » Au lieu d’être expulsés, ces immigrés seront autorisés à entrer dans l’église chaque jour « l’après-midi et le soir, afin que ce lieu demeure un espace de prière ». Mais qui peut croire que …

Christmas is coming: don't make yourself a slave to money lenders

Christmas is coming. We all end up spending a little more for gifts, decorations, donations to charities and many other things. However, let's not make ourselves slaves to the money lenders. While this is good advice any time of the year, it is especially true at Christmas when we tend to go overboard and too often create a large amount of unnecessary personal and family debt.
The credit card companies and banks make it too easy to spend, but it's the lender who has to repay the loan at the very interest rates. The loan providers like the banks make more money when the borrower doesn't repay the entire loan, and pays only small amounts each month. Nevertheless, the interest must be paid on the total amount not paid back and this can add up to large sums.
A specific loan cost will be based on the balance, the payment and the annual percentage rate. The time it takes to pay off a credit card loan depends on the balance, interest rate, and one's monthly payment. A small, consistent payment …

Lend people money if you can without interest. Or just gift if you can.

If you can’t control your spending, your debts will control you. It’s financial advice that most young people don’t get in school. And the market system is designed to keep the them in debt slavery. I saw this first hand when I worked in a group home for older students who were wards of state. Nobody taught them how to budget and the responsible use of a credit card. They thought it was free money when given an allowance on credit. There is no FREE LUNCH.

Popularity of veganism and vegetarianism plunges in the Netherlands – Allah's Willing Executioners

This is great news: the popularity of veganism and vegetarianism is on a steep decline in the Netherlands, with more people who chose to abstain from meat or animal products now willing to consume it.
From an item at Remix News:
The data shows that completely abandoning meat is on the decline among the Dutch. In 2021, 2 percent of the population claimed to be vegetarian, which meant consuming no meat or fish, but dairy and eggs. That segment grew to 5 percent in 2023, but has now dropped back to 3 percent. …

Rome. Leo XIV dismantles Tarantelli’s theatrics: the central sector is reunited

Rome - Pope Leo XIV has done what many Roman parish priests had been waiting for for over a year: he has repaired a structural error that had paralyzed the diocese by bringing the five Prefectures of the Central Sector back under a single pastoral unit. A decisive, clear act, stripped of embellishments and devoid of that pneumatic language with which, in October 2024, Pope Francis had wrapped a measure that made no sense—neither pastorally nor administratively.
To understand the scope of today’s decision, one must return to that 2024
Motu Proprio, drafted - as Silere non possum repeatedly denounced - on the basis of the ideas and pressures of Renato Tarantelli, the vice–vicegerent of the Diocese of Rome. There had been no real consultation with parish priests, no communal discernment, no dialogue with those living the daily pastoral work in the neighborhoods. Only an ideological framework, a reform designed at a desk, as if Rome were a model to be reshaped according to the …

‘ASCENT OF MOUNT CARMEL’ by Saint John of the Cross – ‘ARGUMENT’ & ‘STANZAS’; pages 11-12

[Saint John of the Cross – XVI Century AD; Fontiveros, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy/Ubeda, , Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy; (Aged 49); Priest, Mystic, Writer, Doctor of the Church]
“ARGUMENT
ALL the doctrine whereof I intend to treat in this Ascent of Mount Carmel is included in the following stanzas, and in them is also described the manner of ascending to the summit of the Mount, which is the high estate of perfection which we here call union of the soul with God. And because I must continually base upon them that which I shall say, I have desired to set them down here together, to the end that all the substance of that which is to be written may be seen and comprehended together; although it will be fitting to set down each stanza separately before expounding it, and likewise the lines of each stanza, according as the matter and the exposition require. The poem, then, runs as follows:
