"Answer to the third question. ”As to why the saints are not seen as they are, I answer:If my saints were openly visible and seen to speak, then honor would be given to them as to myself, and faith would have not merit. Besides, weak flesh would not be capable of seeing them, and it does not accord with my justice that such great weakness should behold so splendid a sight. Consequently, my saints are neither heard nor seen as they are, in order that I should receive all the honor and so that people may know that no one is to be loved more than me."
[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] “Interrogation 8 First question. Again the monk appeared on his rung as before, saying: ”O Judge, I ask you: Why do you permit gods to be placed in temples and receive honor as yourself, even though your kingdom is nobler beyond all else?” Second question. ”Why do you not let people see your glory in this life, so that they may desire it more fervently?” Third question. ”Since your saints and angels are nobler and holier above all other creatures, why are they not seen by people in this life?” Fourth question. ”Since the punishments of hell are horrible beyond compare, why do you not let people see them in this life so that they may flee from them?” Fifth question. ”Since the devils are ugly and misshapen beyond compare, why are they not visible to humans, for then nobody would follow them or give them their consent?” Answer to the first question …More

Introduction In December, we reported that Bishop Hicks’ diocesan chancellor, Robert Salvato, was ‘married’ to another man. Salvato was appointed Chancellor by Hicks in 2021. As Chancellor, Salvato was responsible for advising Hicks on issues related to canon law and recording ecclesiastical acts, decrees and dispensations issued by the bishop. As if the diocesan Chancellor getting ‘married’ to his boyfriend was not enough of a scandal, we now have reports that Fr. Richard Smith, the Vicar General for the diocese of Joliet, attended the ‘ceremony.’ An eyewitness has told us that Smith was definitely in attendance. Additionally, two other sources positively identified Smith as the man featured in the above photo from the ‘wedding’ (additional photos of the event available here). We contacted Fr. Smith on December 28, 2025 asking him to comment on these allegations but have not received a response. This is an especially explosive allegation because, as Vicar General, Smith is …
"Washington did not destroy the Venezuelan state because it needed more oil; it did so because it is preparing for a possible war with China. ... The theory of “oil imperialism” does not stand up to a simple review of the facts. The United States is no longer the energy-hungry giant it was in the late 20th century. Texas alone now accounts for around 43 percent of total US crude oil production. ... Over the past two decades, while Washington was bogged down in the Middle East, the People's Republic of China has quietly and systematically built up political influence in the Western Hemisphere. ... In 2024, trade between China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) reached a volume of US$551 billion (£400 billion). It is particularly noteworthy that since 2005, Venezuela has accounted for around 44 percent of total Chinese development financing in the region. ...

Die Behauptung, die USA seien auf dieses Öl nicht angewiesen, ist realitätsfern. Die Vereinigten Staaten verfügen über schätzungsweise 35 Milliarden Barrel Schweröl, dessen Förderung technisch aufwendig ist. Bei einem jährlichen Verbrauch von rund 7,3 Milliarden Barrel wäre dieser gesamte Bestand rechnerisch bereits nach etwa fünf Jahren aufgebraucht. Im Vergleich dazu besitzt Venezuela mit ungefähr 300 Milliarden Barrel ein um ein Vielfaches größeres Ölreservoir.

The Venezuelan government has quietly contracted Rothschild & Co. — the global investment powerhouse long accused of pulling strings behind sovereign debt crises — to map out the nation’s external debt obligations amid a full economic breakdown. According to insiders, Rothschild’s job is not simply bookkeeping — they’re building the blueprint for total financial restructuring under globalist control, a typical precursor to sovereign economic takeover. Venezuela owes hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign bondholders and state creditors, a mountain of liabilities that has crippled Caracas for years. This includes sovereign bonds and PDVSA oil debt that have been in default for over six years. BYPASS THE CENSORS Sign up to get unfiltered news delivered straight to your inbox.

“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
