Scottish Bishops On "Draconian" Abortion Buffer Zone Law - Envisages Criminalising Prayer

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

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

Prophecies of Maria Esperanza Bianchini

Prophecies of Maria Esperanza Bianchini
Excerpt taken from
Prophecies
“The heavenly hurricane will come to help the weak, a battalion led by the Archangel Saint Michael, who will defend you because he will announce the decisive moment, and he will be open to hearing the drums, flutes and bells, able to stand fast and fight with the prayer of the Magnificat.”
She foresees a light coming from heaven, although she did not say whether this light will be visible or invisible, it is just that it will help us to enlighten. “Little by little man will begin to understand the order of the mystical world and in this way, everything will become green and full of hope, with the sweet gaze of Mary and the work of the Holy Spirit, and with the Father who lives and reigns always and forever in a world without end. ”
For Maria Esperanza: “the time has come when humanity must wake up, we must awaken to the love of God. In the coming years a new light from heaven will light our hearts, but before that …

On Epiphany, Cardinal Raymond Burke celebrated Mass in the Roman Rite at the Chiesa della Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini in Rome entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. During his homily, he reflected on how, like the Magi, we may sometimes lose sight of our star and experience a sense of uncertainty. He believes that it is God's will for us to turn to the Church and those who represent Him among us. He added that Christ comes to us through his priests, who are sacramentally configured to him as head and shepherd of the flock in every time and place. He continued: "Despite their unworthiness, they receive the grace to exercise His pastoral charity, which is ever at work for our eternal salvation."

Vicar General of Next New York Archbishop Attended Homosex "Wedding" of Chancellor

Vicar General Richard Smith of the diocese of Joliet attended the homosexual “wedding” of the diocese’s chancellor, Robert Salvato, on December 13.
ComplicitClergy.com stated on January 5 that there is an eyewitness who confirms that the vicar general was in attendance. Additionally, two other sources identified the vicar general featured in photos from the "wedding".
Monsignor Ronald Hicks, 58, was installed as Bishop of Joliet in July 2020. On 1 December 2020, he appointed the pro-homosexual priest Richard Smith as vicar general and, in 2021, the homosexual Salvato as his chancellor.
On 18 December, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Hicks as Archbishop of New York. He will be installed as the new Archbishop in February.
On December 23, Leo XIV declined to comment on his controversial appointment of Ronald Hicks to New York.

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

In Iraq, Islamists demand execution of cardinal over "political" homily

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 …

Italian diocese installs ‘Bell for Unborn Children,’ sparking backlash from leftist politicians - LifeSite

Mon Jan 5, 2026 - 8:51 am EST
VENTIMIGLIA, Italy (
LifeSiteNews) — The Diocese of Ventimiglia–San Remo has installed a bell dedicated to unborn children at its episcopal headquarters, prompting criticism from leftist political figures.
On December 28, 2025, the Diocese of Ventimiglia–San Remo inaugurated the “Bell for Unborn Children” at the tower of the diocesan curia building in Ventimiglia, north-western Italy, as an initiative promoted by Bishop Antonio Suetta to raise awareness about unborn life, encourage reflection on abortion laws, and convey a message of hope and prayer. This action has since attracted strong objections from representatives of the centre-left in the region of Liguria.
