As Pope Leo XIV opened the first extraordinary consistory of his pontificate on Wednesday, he structured the programme in a way that avoided substantive discussion of key issues. Even participating cardinals had previously believed official messaging and expected the liturgy to be addressed. Cardinal Hollerich of Luxembourg told journalists outside the Synod Hall on Wednesday that he had believed the Mass in the Roman rite would be discussed during the consistory. “I’m not against it,” he said, “but I do not like some of the values that are sometimes attached to it — no interreligious dialogue, not accepting the Second Vatican Council, and so on. But the liturgy itself, I think, is no problem. If many people have access to God through that liturgy, then that’s fine with me.” Is Leo XIV Playing for Time with Naive Catholics? However, Leo XIV informed the consistory that, due to alleged “time constraints,” only two of the four outlined topics would be discussed. He then staged a vote …More

Today, 170 Cardinals gathered for the first consistory. Pope Leo XIV was flanked in the Synod Hall by his Curia Cardinals, most of whom are pro-homosexual: Tucho (Faith), Mendonça (Education), Grech (Synod), Roche (Liturgy), Baggio (Human Development), and Artime (Religious). After entering the Synod Hall, English pro-homosexual Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, 80, delivered a meditation to the Cardinals. The decision to keep him in the same role he held during the Synod on Synodality carries symbolic weight. His speech today was fairly mild. However, just the day before, Cardinal Radcliffe called for the urgent ordination of women as deacons. The cardinals were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of cardinals under the age of 80. This group was further divided into nine round tables. The second group, consisting of elderly cardinals and the Roman Curia, was divided into eleven round tables. In the groups, the Cardinals discussed Synodality and Evangelisation. One anonymous …More
Wed Jan 7, 2026 - 12:25 pm ESTWed Jan 7, 2026 - 3:45 pm EST VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV opened his first extraordinary consistory with an agenda centered on synodality, liturgy and the legacy of the Second Vatican Council. On Wednesday, January 7, Pope Leo began the first extraordinary consistory of his pontificate at the Vatican, convening cardinals from around the world in the Paul VI Hall and the New Synod Hall to reflect together, advise the Pope, and discuss key themes like synodality and liturgy through a program centered on small working groups and plenary interventions. In his general audience held earlier the same day, Leo said that the Second Vatican Council “has helped us to open ourselves to the world and to grasp the changes and challenges of the modern age in dialogue and shared responsibility,” adding “we must still more fully realize ecclesial reform in a ministerial key.” According to details published by Il Giornale, registration for participating …

“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

01/07/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. When Klaus Schwab complains about the lack of truth and trust, I am reminded of the preparatory exercises, or rather the dress rehearsal for the impending planned pandemic, organized under the name Event 201 in collaboration with the World Economic Forum in October 2019 in a New York hotel. Media representatives were also invited to attend, and they unanimously expressed their willingness to create a globalist reality. Scientists have discovered that the plandemic could have been avoided if, instead of testing citizens for the virus in 2020, politicians had been tested for external dependencies. Who among us has not noticed the unanimity of the media on issues such as the virus threat, global warming, the replacement of societies through migration, the war against evil Putin, and the concealment of the truth about chemtrails, HAARP, and election fraud in the US in 2020? One could list endless other examples of propaganda manipulation. Now …
Illustration AI generator In a heartbreaking Facebook post, Canadian mother Margaret Marsilla has revealed that her 26-year-old son, Kiano V., was killed by euthanasia on December 30, 2025. She said his death was approved by Dr. Ellen Wiebe, a Vancouver abortionist and euthanasia practitioner who has ended the lives of over 400 patients. Kiano suffered from diabetes, which had resulted in visual impairment. “With a broken heart, I am sharing that my baby boy Kiano passed away … after being euthanized,” she wrote. “Four years ago, here in Ontario, we were able to stop his euthanasia and get him some help. He was alive because people stepped in when he was vulnerable and not capable of making a final, irreversible decision.” In 2022, Marsilla had successfully launched a petition campaign to stop her young son’s death by euthanasia, which had been scheduled for September 28 at Toronto’s MAiD House. Marsilla was shocked when her son was approved. “Can you believe it?” she wrote at …

Bravo! Just look at all those jugs of soon to be Holy exorcism water. Nice job. Now give me a moment, In the Ethiopian Orthodox, three priests pray over the water for quite some time, in an all day event. In Ethiopian Orthodox Epiphany (Timket) celebrations, priests perform elaborate, lengthy blessings over the waters, often involving all-night prayers, chants, and hymns leading up to the main blessing on January 19th, where a patriarch dips a cross into the water, symbolizing Christ's baptism, with the entire ritual and community participation lasting hours, even as the sun rises. The solemn blessing itself involves specific litanies, exorcism prayers, and the Te Deum, making it a significant, extended liturgical event. Key Aspects of the Blessing Ceremony: All-Night Vigil: The main festivities begin the eve (Ketera) with night-long prayers and hymns before the blessing. Procession: The tabot (replica of the Ark of the Covenant) is brought to a body of water (lake, river, or pool). …More
