Black Nazarene - January 9 Also known as Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno Memorial 9 January Profile The Black Nazarene is a blackened, life-sized wooden icon of Jesus Christ carrying a cross. It was constructed in Mexico in the early 17th century by an Aztec carpenter. SpanishAugustinian Recollect friarmissionaries to Manila, Philippines originally brought the icon to Manila in 1606. The transport ship caught fire, burning the icon, but the locals kept the charred statue. Miracles, especially healings, have been reported in its presence. The church in which it stood burned down around it in 1791 and 1929, was destroyed by earthquakes in 1645 and 1863, and was damaged during bombing in 1945. It used to be carried through the streets every January, and Christians would rub cloths on it to make healing relics, but centuries of this treatment have left the statue in bad shape, and since 1998 a replica is paraded at the feast day celebrations.

Several sources confirmed that the Mass in the Roman rite was not mentioned at the consistory on 7–8 January. South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, 84, told Edward Pentin that the Roman Latin Mass was not discussed: "I think the main point was how to get the whole Church to evangelise at the same level." Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, 63, of Algeria, confirmed to Niwa Limbu that they had not discussed any form of liturgy: "We talked about the importance of the Eucharist in the context. of synodality." However, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told EWTN that the cardinals had discussed the liturgy and the "old" and "new" rites: "I think Pope Leo will find a good solution for everyone." Only two dozen of the 170 cardinals were able to speak during the 'free interventions'. Speaker of the Vatican press office Matteo Bruni added in the evening that future consistories will be held once a year and last 3–4 days. The next consistory is planned for 27–28 June. #newsZnxlpxmwqb

Asks Republicans To Soften Stand On Abortion From Politico: Trump stunned conservative Republicans Tuesday when he directed them to be “flexible” on abortion coverage issues in ongoing health care talks — a nonstarter in the negotiations for hard-liners and scores of other GOP lawmakers. “You have to be a little flexible on Hyde, you know that. You gotta be a little flexible. You gotta work something … we’re all big fans of everything. But you have to have flexibility,” Trump told House Republicans during remarks at the GOP conference’s daylong policy meeting Tuesday. Asked for his reaction on Capitol Hill, Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla), a lead proponent of Hyde protections, replied: “I’m not flexible on the value of every child’s life. Children are valuable, and so I’d have to get up to the context of what he meant by that.” [Pro-life] groups have been intensely vocal, threatening Republicans to not back any effort to leave out Hyde protections in a health care deal.

The Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is sponsoring the “9 Days for Life” prayer that will begin on Friday, Jan. 16, and end on Jan. 24. The novena is to be prayed in observance of the annual Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children on Jan. 22. The 2026 “9 Days for Life” marks the 14th time the novena has taken place. Since it began, the prayer has reached hundreds of thousands of people in over 100 countries spanning six continents, according to the USCCB.

Those who sign up to participate can access a resource kit with information in both English and …More
Top Vatican insider RISKS EVERYTHING to denounce synodality as NOT CATHOLIC Doctrinal confusion grows within the Catholic Church, as discussed in this conversation referencing insights from Professor William Thomas’ recent warnings about modernism and ambiguity from Church leaders. The panel discusses how silence, compromise, and contradictory messaging, especially on issues like sexuality, migration, and ecclesial reform, are eroding trust among the faithful. The conversation critiques the replacement of clear, revealed truth with emotion-driven theology and political convenience, arguing this shift contributes to the unraveling of moral and spiritual coherence. Referencing Venezuela, the hosts examine how Catholic social teaching is often selectively applied, depending on the political climate. The episode calls for renewed moral courage, fidelity to tradition, and resistance to the theological drift reshaping the Church from within. Source: Top Vatican insider RISKS EVERYTHING to …More
Charlie’s Voice Rising @CharlieK_news Federal prosecutors just blew the lid off a $7 MILLION SNAP fraud scheme in Boston. Two Haitian nationals have been charged for running so-called “ghost stores” — tiny shops with barely any inventory that were somehow cashing $540,000 a MONTH in EBT. Let that sink in. That’s SIX TIMES the SNAP volume of a real, fully stocked supermarket. The stores were allegedly used to trade EBT for cash and illegal items, draining taxpayer funds at an insane scale. This wasn’t a corner store hustle. This was industrial-level fraud. And people still wonder where the money goes.

A group of Catholics in Lebanon have launched a legal bid to prevent an upcoming performance by Portuguese priest Guilherme Peixoto. His "music" blends electronic dance beats with religious imagery. He is scheduled to perform at the AHM nightclub in Beirut on 10 January. The petitioners have submitted a request to a Beirut summary affairs judge, seeking to halt the concert. They argue that the performance 'undermines church values' and 'misrepresents Christian rituals', citing concerns over a priest performing as a DJ in a nightclub. However, resorting to the state in such matters is futile. Padre Peixoto is due to preside over a Eucharist in Kaslik on the same day. Supporters rightly argue that his ministry and artistic work are officially recognised by church authorities in many countries. He also performed at World Youth Day in Lisbon in 2023, just before Pope Francis's Eucharist. #newsFaulcgdlqq

Ukraine Returns St. Nicholas Cathedral to Catholic Community | Shalom World News In a historically significant move, Ukraine has handed over Kyiv’s St. Nicholas Cathedral to the Roman Catholic community for their use for the next 50 years. This Neo-Gothic masterpiece belonged to the Catholic community until it was closed down and converted into a concert venue under Soviet rule. The announcement of the transfer came on the Feast of the Epiphany, marked by prayers and a Holy Mass at the church attended by senior Ukrainian officials, clergy, and members of the faithful. The cathedral, a protected national heritage site, has endured wartime damage, Soviet-era repression, and most recently the effects of a Russian missile strike nearby during the invasion of Ukraine. Government officials said the decision restores the building’s original purpose as a place of worship while maintaining state ownership and heritage protections.
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

Ron Paul: Trump/Vance was presented as "the peace ticket," and was voted in with the expectation of focusing on America instead of the rest of the world. But alas, the addiction to Empire has proven to be too strong once again. The Trump Administration has been laser-focused on foreign nations, while our own nation continues to struggle quite substantially. Yesterday, the president even proposed a $1.5 TRILLION military budget. Are we reaching the mania phase, or what market traders call the "blowoff top" of Empire?
