'The fourth torment that they have is the fire. This fire burns and does not consume, for the being of the soul cannot be consumed, because it is not a material thing that fire can consume. But I, by Divine justice, have permitted the fire to burn them with torments, so that it torments them, without consuming them, with the greatest pains in diverse ways according to the diversity of their sins, to some more, and to some less, according to the gravity of their fault.'
[Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; Siena, Republic of Siena/Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] “Of the four principal torments of the damned, from which follow all the others ; and particularly of the foulness of the Devil. " My daughter, the tongue is not sufficient to narrate the pain of these poor souls. As there are three principal vices, namely : self - love, whence proceeds the second, that is love of reputation, whence proceeds the third, that is pride, with injustice and cruelty, and with other filthiness and iniquitous sins, that follow upon these. So I say to thee, that in Hell, the souls have four principal torments, out of which proceed all the other torments. The first is, that they see themselves deprived of the vision of Me, which is such pain to them, that, were it possible, they would rather choose the fire, and the tortures and torments, and to see Me, than to be without the torments …More
Study begun in 2020 published its summary results today -- “The status quaestionis of historical research and theological investigation, as well as their mutual implications, excludes the possibility of proceeding in the direction of admitting women to the diaconate understood as a degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders. In light of Sacred Scripture, Tradition, and ecclesiastical Magisterium, this assessment is strong, although it does not allow for a definitive judgment to be formulated at this time, as in the case of priestly ordination”
The Vatican on Thursday published the conclusions of its study commission on women deacons. The Commission rules out admitting women to the diaconate understood as a degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders, but without issuing a definitive judgment at this time. The report stresses repeatedly that the negative assessment is “strong” yet “does not permit formulating a definitive judgment,” unlike the case of priestly ordination. Submission of the Report to Pope Leo XIV On 18 September, Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi, President of the Study Commission on the Female Diaconate, submitted to Pope Leo XIV a detailed synthesis of the Commission’s work. The report reflects several years of historical, theological, and pastoral investigation. Historical Findings: A Non-Sacramental Ancient Practice The Commission revisited the findings of two earlier Vatican commissions. Historical research confirms that, in the early Church, the title deaconess appeared in different regions and periods, but with …More
Ordinatio Sacerdotalis states -- “I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women & that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful” In 2018 the Vatican said this text had the mark of “infallibility”
"The way to Heaven is tough. Our time has reached a higher intensity of evil than before. Temptations are greater than ever,” said Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X in an interview with Kenya’s Immaculata TV on 23 November (video below). He explained that there has been a terrible crisis in the Church since Vatican II, including a terrifying decline in vocations: "You wonder how far it can go." And, "The influence of the Church on the world is now reduced to nothing." Bishop Fellay quoted Cardinal Ratzinger’s well-known prediction that the Church as we know it will disappear and be reduced to "little islands": "I fear we are very close to that time." He continued, "A lot of things in the Church have already been destroyed." On Tucho’s Document About Marian Titles Regarding Cardinal Victor (Tucho) Fernández and his recent document on the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces, Bishop Fellay called it “pitiful.” “It is an insult to God,” he …More
On Thursday, retired Swiss bishop Marian Eleganti warned at the RomeLifeForum.com that efforts to promote a 'universal fraternity' risk collapsing into religious relativism. He stressed that, according to Christian teaching, people are not 'children of God' simply by existing. Rather, they receive this identity through faith in Christ and baptism. Any model of human fraternity that obscures this truth ceases to be authentically Christian, he said. Mission Cannot Be Replaced by Dialogue Monsignor Eleganti warned that the Church’s mission must not be reduced to interreligious dialogue which avoids proclaiming the truth. He also noted the impact of media imagery showing religious leaders praying together, which implicitly suggests that "one religion is as good as another". Criticism of Pope Francis’ Statements Furthermore, Bishop Eleganti criticised Pope Francis's controversial remarks. He cited the 2024 statement in Singapore that "all religions are a path to God", as well as the assertion …More
Experts who work with U.S. priests told the Register they have increasingly seen, in recent years, the issues of burnout and loneliness drive men away from their vocation.
Home » Architecture » Before and After: The Restoration of Belmont Chapel in Newport, Rhode Island The Belmont Memorial Chapel is a small church that is located on the grounds of Island Cemetery in Newport, Rhode Island. While that goes slightly outside our usually rather tight sphere of focus here at LAJ, I believe our readers will be very interested in this particular project as it not only features a dramatic restoration, but also a period we seldom touch upon -- the Aesthetic Movement and, I also think, a bit of the Arts and Crafts Movement as well -- while also being firmly rooted in aspects of the gothic revival movement. Canning Liturgical Arts sets the background of the project for us: The chapel was originally built in 1887 in honor of Augustus Belmont and Catherine Perry’s deceased daughter, but required significant repairs soon after completion. The architect in charge was Richard Morris Hunt, a good friend of the Belmont and prominent architect at the time. Hunt brought in …

When every critical discussion has been stifled for five years and only allowed to take place unchallenged in protected spaces, escalation is inevitable as soon as serious questions are asked. This is precisely what happened in the German Bundestag. Christian Drosten, the ever-confident Covid “expert,” changed the subject, feigned confusion, lost his train of thought, and evaded every clear question as soon as his contradictions surfaced. This is the same Christian Drosten who worked at Berlin’s Charité hospital and astonished the world with a PCR test for the only legitimate disease, cobbled together overnight. He is the originator of the idea of an asymptomatic “disease.” This is the same virologist whose doctoral dissertation vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a table of contents. He was given airtime on television in German-speaking countries and beyond to stoke fears of the greatest planned …

Topics include the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the income tax, Federal Reserve System, national ID cards (REAL ID Act), human-implanted RFID tags, Diebold electronic voting machines, globalization, Big Brother, taser weapons abuse, and the use of terrorism by the government as a means to diminish the citizens' rights. Aaron Russo, the filmmaker's personal views on taxes: "The film is an exposé of the Internal Revenue Service, and proves conclusively there is no law requiring an American citizen to pay a direct unapportioned Tax on their labor.

On 3 December, two separate fires were discovered inside the Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Fonsorbes, southwest of Toulouse. Flames were first seen around 4:30 p.m. on the main altar while faithful were present. Shortly after, a second fire was found on the altar cloth in the Virgin’s chapel, several metres away. Authorities have opened an investigation.
Tolosa: due altari incendiati in una chiesa A tre settimane da Natale, mentre il periodo dell'Avvento è in pieno svolgimento, due incendi sono stati riscontrati mercoledì 3 dicembre 2025 nella chiesa di Saint-Jean-Baptiste di Fonsorbes, a sud-ovest di Tolosa. I fatti riportati da Actu Toulouse precisano che le fiamme sono state osservate intorno alle 16:30, mentre i parrocchiani erano presenti nell'edificio. "Una signora era venuta a pregare e ha visto che la tovaglia dell'altare principale stava bruciando", testimonia il vicario, padre Pierre Cussonnet. Pochi istanti dopo, un secondo focolare è stato scoperto: "Un'altra tovaglia si trovava nella cappella della Vergine, a destra del coro", riferisce ancora. Anche l'altare di questa cappella laterale è stato colpito, come testimoniano le foto trasmesse alla redazione. Due focolai distinti, situati a diversi metri l'uno dall'altro: difficile vedere la semplice propagazione di uno stesso incendio. Ancora più inquietante, ai piedi di …More
THE TRUTH about THE BIBLE The uncorrupt Catholic Bible safeguards 73 books which were received from The HOLY SPIRIT in the ONE and ONLY TRUE CHURCH of GOD which is the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH which was the only Church instituted by JESUS CHRIST. As GOD has revealed that HIS CHURCH alone would teach the TRUTH necessary for HIS FAITHFUL PEOPLE who choose to follow GOD in this earthly life outside of which there is no salvation. The words of ALMIGHTY GOD in the Sacred Scriptures explain the necessity of His ONLY True Church as follows- ''But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.'' -Gospel of Saint John 21:25 [Douay Rheims uncorrupted BIBLE] The Protestant false [King James] so called “bible” and their heretical false beliefs of “bible only” / “ private interpretation” are NOT blessed by GOD because GOD'S WORDS have been corrupted …More

Pro-homosexual Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi, Archbishop of Bologna and President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, praised the “excellent relationship” with the Italian government, adding that “there is close cooperation on many issues” (SecoloDItalia.it, December 4). On migration, Zuppi said that the Church will always reiterate that lives must be saved, mindful of the law of the sea and the words of Francis and Leo XIV: “The simplification of ‘all in/all out’ does not work.” And: “It is clear that this is an epoch-making phenomenon that needs to be regulated at the European level.””
Andrà ad Atreju Il cardinale Zuppi: “I vescovi hanno un ottimo rapporto con il governo. Togliere il presepe? È come buttare giù i campanili” Politica - di Stefania Campitelli - 4 Dicembre 2025 alle 13:20 Nessuna opposizione al governo Meloni né una linea Zuppi contrapposta quella di Papa Leone XIV sul dossier Ucraina. In una lunga intervista al Giornale, il cardinale Matteo Maria Zuppi, presidente della Cei (nominato da papa Francesco) e inviato vaticano per la missione umanitaria a Kiev, fa anche il punto sulle relazioni tra la Santa Sede e Palazzo Chigi. “La Cei ha un ottimo rapporto col governo e su tanti dossier c’è una collaborazione. Un esempio su tanti: apprezziamo quanto è stato fatto in favore degli oratori che – spiega il prelato che sarà ospite di Atreju – in un tessuto sociale così debole diventano importantissimi per la promozione umana e anche per l’evangelizzazione. E potremmo continuare su vari aspetti. Poi, certo, esistono temi su cui c’è più dialettica e …More

“Our Lady is not Co-Redemptrix” - Brazil Archbishop: "We don’t need to say that Mary is co-Redemptrix, that Jesus needs Mary to save humanity. Mary herself is prepared, saved by God; she is a creature of God. She makes herself the servant of her own son, but she is not co-redemptrix", Archbishop Juárez Marqués of Teresina, Brazil, said on November 27 in an interview with the local TV Jornal TV Cidade Verde.
“Não precisamos dizer que Maria é corredentora, que Jesus precisa de Maria para salvar a humanidade. Maria mesma, ela é preparada, salva por Deus, é a criatura de Deus. Se faz serva do seu próprio filho, mas não é corredentora, agora ela é intercessora nossa”, disse o arcebispo de Teresina (PI), dom Juarez Marques ontem (27), em uma entrevista ao Jornal TV Cidade Verde.
