Lebanon's name was mentioned 71 times in the Old Testament, its regions are referred to several times in the New Testament, and extra-canonical literature speaks about it in ten cases. A country where GOD raised up some of our most humble and great Saints. Why isn't trump saying a word about any of this and how Israel ignored the cease fire? He and his boyfriend are having a field day taking over the world. Killing and stealing in many countries. This is what the maga lovers want? What happened to saving Christians? bibi on one side of the world and trump the creep on the other. Working hand in hand. Trying hard to bring their antichrist into the world. Those who praise trump for all his crimes and murders will also be part of his dirty evil deeds. Better know this now or regret it later.
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
"The Stranger" is a song by Gord Downie that makes up his multimedia work titled, The Secret Path which tells the very sad story of Indigenous 12-year-old boy Chanie Wenjak. The work is supported by a novel and a film. The story is that Chanie run away from a Canadian residential school. It was to get away from the disrespect and physical abuse. So, he decided to walk home, a 600 kilometre journey from where the school was located in Kenora, Ontario. The boy never made it because he died of hunger and the cold weather. His body was found near a railroad track on October 7, 1966. The song aims to point out the suffering, loneliness and fear experienced by the children who attended residential schools. It's all become part of the long truth and reconciliation project that Canada's Liberal government adopted in 2015. In May 2020, there was also the claim that 215 graves were found near the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Note: no actual graves have been found. The only problem with …
Sainte Marie-Madeleine was built in 1130, when Neuilly-en-Donjon was part of the diocese of Autun, which included much of what is now Burgundy. Sainte Marie-Madeleine, built in 1130 in Neuilly-en-Donjon during its time as part of the diocese of Autun, is an exceptional example of rural medieval church architecture. With its austere single nave and iconic stone reliefs, the church is particularly renowned for its portal and tympanum, which have captivated scholars for over a century with their unique iconography. Despite its historical significance, the church faced serious structural challenges due to a heavier roof added in the early twentieth century. The additional weight caused cracks in the main façade and nave walls, further exacerbated by water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles. These issues eventually led to the main façade separating from the nave walls, threatening the stability of this Romanesque treasure. Sainte Marie-Madeleine

Roman Catholic Cardinal - Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako Louis Raphaël I Cardinal Sako [Catholic-Hierarchy] The Eliya line was a traditionalist patriarchate of the Church of the East, originating from the 1552 schism, residing primarily at the Rabban Hormizd Monastery near Alqosh, Iraq, and maintaining independence from Rome while resisting Catholic overtures for centuries. This branch preserved its unique East Syriac traditions and Christology, eventually seeing most followers unite with Rome by 1830 to form the Chaldean Catholic Church, while the rival Shimun line continued as the Assyrian Church of the East The East Syriac Christian Church (Church of the East) traces its founding to the Apostles, primarily St. Thomas the Apostle, along with St. Addai (Thaddeus) and St. Mari, who brought Christianity to Mesopotamia and Persia, establishing the See of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, with traditions also linking Bartholomew. These apostles, particularly Thomas and …More
Cardinal Sako in Iraq receives threats after Christmas homily. Photo: al-monitor In Iraq, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako received threats from Islamist groups after a Christmas homily in Baghdad. This was reported by Chaldean Press. The reason for the attacks on the cardinal was his homily, where he used the word "normalization", speaking about the need for reconciliation and spiritual unity in Iraqi society. However, some Islamic leaders interpreted this expression as a call for political normalization of relations with Israel, which caused a sharp reaction and legal appeals demanding Sako's arrest. After this, Sako began receiving numerous threats from Iraq and Iran. Representatives of the Chaldean Archdiocese issued a statement clarifying that the speech was exclusively about internal peace and cultural development of the country, not about international relations. The document emphasizes that the homily had no political undertones, and the word "normalization …
I’m from the generation that.... Waited years for a landline phone—and when it was finally installed, it felt like a celebration for the whole apartment building. I’m from the generation that walked to school alone in the morning, a house key hanging on a string around the neck, and came home at dusk without anyone panicking. I’m from the generation that wasn’t forced to do homework—because friends were already waiting outside with a ball, a bike, or a plan for the next adventure. I’m from the generation that climbed garage roofs and trees, and no one called the police or child services over it. I’m from the generation that built toy “machines” out of sticks and raced bikes like it was the Tour de France. I’m from the generation that experienced first crushes at school dances, under dim lights, cheesy music, and strings of colored bulbs. I’m from the generation that “heartless” parents calmly sent off to two-week summer camps or to grandma’s house—no phones, no GPS, no constant …More
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 4,14-22. Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread throughout the whole region. He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all. He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord." Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him. He said to them, "Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious …More

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

"The day, as I have above related, is divided into two parts by the number twelve— by the twelve hours of day and night; and by these hours too, months, and years, and seasons, and ages are computed. Therefore, doubtless, there are appointed also twelve angels of the day and twelve angels of the night, in accordance, to wit, with the number of hours.For these are the twenty-four witnesses of the days and nights which sit before the throne of God, having golden crowns on their heads, whom the Apocalypse of John the apostle and evangelist calls elders, for the reason that they are older both than the other angels and than men.”

More than 30 priests from the Diocese of Charlotte have formally appealed to the Vatican with a series of questions concerning recent liturgical directives issued by their bishop, including the prohibition of altar rails and kneelers during Communion. The questions, known as dubia, were submitted in a letter to the Dicastery for Legislative Texts on Jan. 5.
31 priests of the Diocese of Charlotte have formally challenged recent liturgical directives issued by Bishop Michael Martin, submitting Dubia to of all places the Vatican. The Substack.com account The Pillar reports that the priests’ letter to the Dicastery for Legislative Texts was sent on January 5. It questions whether the bishop has the authority to mandate the removal and prohibition of kneelers for Communion. This a policy was announced in a “pastoral” letter by Bishop Martin on December 17. Temporary kneeling fixtures are required to be removed by Jan. 16. Thirty-one priests are about a quarter of the diocesan presbyterate.

Furthermore, the Dubia question Bishop Martin’s authority to prohibit certain vestments, liturgical prayers, gestures, and elements associated with the Mass of the Roman rite but …More
