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.

News Kazakhstan has enacted a controversial law banning the dissemination of information deemed to promote “non-traditional sexual orientation”, drawing sharp criticism from international rights groups and comparisons to Russia’s notorious “gay propaganda” legislation. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the bill on 30 December, with the amendments taking effect on 1 January. The law covers media, education, advertising, cultural activities and online platforms, and applies broadly to any content accessible to minors. While same-sex relationships remain legal, the legislation effectively prohibits positive or neutral portrayals of LGBTQ+ identities. Violators face fines of up to 130,000 tenge (approximately £220), and repeat offences may result in up to ten days’ administrative detention. Officials claim the measure is intended to protect children from “harmful influences”, but critics argue it institutionalises censorship and discrimination. Human rights organisations, …
On 6 January, Pope Leo XIV officially brought the 2025 Jubilee Year to a close by closing the Holy Door of St Peter's Basilica during a solemn Eucharist on the Feast of the Epiphany. This ritual, which involves the Pope kneeling in prayer and manually closing the great bronze doors, marks the traditional end of a Jubilee. This was the last remaining open Holy Door, bringing to a close a Holy Year that, according to Vatican figures, brought 33 million pilgrims to Rome. Following the public liturgy, the door will be sealed in a private ceremony.

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. They argue that kneeling for Communion is explicitly permitted by the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and part of the traditional liturgical practice of the Church. 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
Pope's Response to Dubia Cardinals: Francis provided lengthy answers in Spanish, but the cardinals felt they were ambiguous, leading them to rephrase some questions to require "yes/no" answers. Remember this: Rump rangers do not kneel, they bend over. Sticky questions raised at the Cardinal Consistory can simply be answered as such: " Those are excellent questions, let me think about it, what we can do" Clap, Clap. Clap ( three years later.........yup, I'm still thinking about it )

Raucous Rock Concert by a Priest: The priest David Michael Moses of the Archdiocese of Galveston–Houston concluded his talk at the neoconservative conference SEEK 2026 on January 1 by performing his rock song “Plot Twist.” The performance drew on pop-rock conventions. During the theatrics, Fr Moses invited attendees to rush the stage and took a selfie with the cheering crowd. He ended by performing “the worm,” a breakdancing move rooted in secular entertainment culture. SEEK 2026 drew more than 26,000 participants.
At the end of his talk at SEEK 2026, Father David Michael Moses encouraged attendees to run up to and gather in front of the stage as he belted out a rock song about living a Christian life. He took a selfie from the stage with the young people cheering behind him and ended his performance by doing “the worm” dance on the stage as the crowd went wild.
This is like the holy rollers, just pure emotionalism. When one follows feelings instead of conscience, this is what occurs, shallow romper room antics.

Pope Leo: “With great concern, I am following the developments in Venezuela. The well-being of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail over every other consideration and lead to overcoming violence and embarking on paths of justice and peace, guaranteeing the sovereignty of the Country, ensuring the rule of law enshrined in the Constitution, respecting the human and civil rights of each and every one. And working to build together a serene future of collaboration, stability, and harmony, with special attention to the poorest who suffer because of the difficult economic situation.”
Pope Leo XIV commented on the situation in the United States and Venezuela, saying that the Venezuelan people must be prioritized: "It is with deep concern that I am following the developments in Venezuela. The well-being of the Venezuelan people must prevail over all other considerations. This must lead to overcoming violence and pursuing paths of justice and peace. This will guarantee the country's sovereignty, ensure the rule of law enshrined in its constitution, respect the human and civil rights of each and every person, and encourage cooperation, stability, and harmony. Special attention must be given to the poorest who are suffering because of the difficult economic situation. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray as well, entrusting our prayers to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto and Saints José Gregorio Hernández and Carmen Rendiles."

St. John the Baptist Contra Effeminacy A Voice Crying in the Wilderness: On the Helper Turned Snare Repent. For the order of creation has been inverted, and the curse still spreads. Hear again the sentence God pronounced—not softened, not explained away: “Because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, cursed is the ground because of you.” Because you listened. Adam was not condemned for appetite first, but for misplaced obedience. She was created as helper—adiutorium, not governor; crown, not commander; aid for the good, not guide against God. St. Augustine speaks plainly: > “The woman was given to the man as a helper, but by sin she became an occasion of his fall—not by nature, but by disorder.” (On Genesis, Against the Manichees) This is the tragedy: the helper became a liability, not by her existence, but because Adam surrendered his post. He allowed the order of creation to turn against itself. St. John Chrysostom declares: …More
Ahead of the January 7–8 consistory, a group of cardinals received a new proposal aimed at resolving long-standing tensions surrounding the Mass in the Roman rite, reports Diane Montagna of Substack (January 5). Dated December 24, the proposal was made by Father Louis-Marie de Blignières, founder of the French Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer. The letter (below) was sent in hard copy to 15 cardinals known for their interest in liturgical matters and by email to approximately 100 other cardinals. Rather than calling for a reversal of existing restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass, the letter proposes a structural solution: the creation of a personal ecclesiastical jurisdiction dedicated to the ancient Roman rite. Modeled in part on military ordinariates and Anglican ordinariates, such a structure would not be defined by territory but by the faithful who choose to belong to it. The proposed jurisdiction would be headed by its own bishop or ordinary and possess the authority to …More
The deep state, controlling the Vatican within, will not allow the occupant of the Chair of Peter to act independently. They will not admit that the VaticanII Church is a fraud. What price for one's salvation? Tragic.
The footprint of Saint Michael the Archangel in the Cave of Monte Sant'Angelo (also known as the Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo) is a revered rock impression preserved within the sacred grotto in Puglia, Italy. Legend holds that the Archangel left this mark during his apparitions around 490-493 AD, consecrating the site himself without human intervention, making it a unique pilgrimage destination. The print is visible behind a glass encasement near the rear altar, symbolizing his presence and promise of protection and forgiveness.[5] ## Location Details The cave lies deep within Monte Sant'Angelo, accessible via 86 stone steps descending from the basilica above. Pilgrims like St. Francis of Assisi visited, carving a Tau cross nearby out of reverence without entering fully. The site forms part of the "Sword of Saint Michael," a mystical line connecting seven Michael shrines across Europe to Israel.[3][4][5] ## Visual Depiction Images typically show a shallow, human-sized foot-shaped …More
May 8th is the feast day commemorating this apparition. I had the honor of offering Holy Mass there over 40 years ago, and I believe it is a holy place.
