Fri Dec 12, 2025 - 1:17 pm ESTFri Dec 12, 2025 - 3:53 pm EST OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Liberals have passed an amendment that could criminalize parts of the Bible dealing with homosexuality under Canada’s new “hate speech” laws. Following a nearly eight-hour committee review on December 9, Liberals adopted an amendment to Bill C-9, the “Combatting Hate Act,” that removed protections in the “hate speech” legislation for quoting Scripture, essentially allowing Canadians to be punished for quoting the Bible. “This is a direct attack on the freedom of expression and the freedom of religion, given how toxic and how divisive this Bloc amendment is and will continue to be,” Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Larry Brock told the committee. The clause-by-clause review lasted into the late hours of the night as Conservative MPs fought against the proposed amendments. “This meeting could go until close to midnight and Conservatives are ready to stand up for freedom of speech and …
“There have been endless dialogues with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, but they simply circle around,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com on December 12. “There is no way around recognising the Second Vatican Council as the twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church.” He added: “The claim that the Lefebvrists are the last bastion of true Catholicity must finally come to an end.” At the same time, Cardinal Müller acknowledged that the Fraternity has correctly identified “the wounds inflicted on the Body of Christ by self-appointed reformers in the style of Modernism.” But, he insisted, “there is never a justification for distancing oneself from the Catholic Church — even though the Church is a mixture of saints and sinners.” For Cardinal Müller, the moment has come for “all Catholics to reunite in the truth of Christ, who in the person of St Peter and his successor, Pope Leo XIV, has established an enduring principle and foundation of …More
Interviewers need to begin pressing these waffling conservative cardinals by asking: Does not the Second Vatican Council have a relationship with the Protestant Reformation? If so--and it does--does not the solution for today have a relationship with the Counter-Reformation?
Vatican II had a chance to become the twenty-first Catholic Council, had it not been the scene of a revolution. In the end, it became not the twenty-first Council of the Catholic Church, but the first council of the conciliar-synodal church.
Our Lady of The Holy Chapel - December 13th, 2025 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her.

“I am a consecrated person; I gave my life to God, so my life doesn’t belong to me,” Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, told NCRegister.com on December 12 about his offer to exchange himself for hostages in 2023. His flock includes about 190,000 Christians in Israel, 45,000 in the West Bank, and 500 in Gaza. Palestinian Christians in the West Bank, including Bethlehem, have been severely affected by the Gaza war, as tourism has nearly collapsed and work permits to Israel have been suspended. “This created a very problematic situation from the economic point of view,” the Cardinal said. The conflict has also intensified tensions between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, including settler attacks on Christian Palestinian communities. Cardinal Pizzaballa described the situation as “chaotic and very problematic,” adding: “What is scary for the people is that you don’t know how, when this will finish.” Despite this, he sees the U.S.-brokered ceasefire …More
If the Church tells you to sin, you do not have to obey. Instead of acting like a mother, the V2 church is feeding her children poison. Throughout the years some additions were made to the TLM, but nothing that was as dastardly as the reform of the Mass under Pope Paul VI.
The Liturgy does indeed belong to the Church. It is not the private possession of anyone. The Church has ruled that every priest of the Roman Rite has and always had a right to offer the Traditional Roman Rite.
"23. And after a few years I was again in Britain with my parents [kinsfolk], and they welcomed me as a son, and asked me, in faith, that after the great tribulations I had endured I should not go anywhere else away from them. And, of course, there, in a vision of the night, I saw a man whose name was Victoricus coming as if from Ireland with innumerable letters, and he gave me one of them, and I read the beginning of the letter: “The Voice of the Irish”; and as I was reading the beginning of the letter I seemed at that moment to hear the voice of those who were beside the forest of Foclut which is near the western sea, and they were crying as if with one voice: “We beg you, holy youth, that you shall come and shall walk again among us.” And I was stung intensely in my heart so that I could read no more, and thus I awoke. Thanks be to God, because after so many years the Lord bestowed on them according to their cry."
[Saint Patrick - mid-fifth to early-sixth century; Roman Britain/Ireland; Missionary, Bishop; Apostle of Ireland] “20. The very same night while I was sleeping Satan attacked me violently, as I will remember as long as I shall be in this body; and there fell on top of me as it were, a huge rock, and not one of my members had any force. But from whence did it come to me, ignorant in the spirit, to call upon Helias? And meanwhile I saw the sun rising in the sky, and while I was crying out “Helias, Helias” with all my might, lo, the brilliance of that sun fell upon me and immediately shook me free of all the weight; and I believe that I was aided by Christ my Lord, and that his Spirit then was crying out for me, and I hope that it will be so in the day of my affliction, just as it says in the Gospel: “In that hour”, the Lord declares, “it is not you who speaks but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.” 21. And a second time, after many years, I was taken captive. On the first night …More
13.12.2025 POPE LEO, FISICHELLA,SPADERO DELIBERATELY CHOOSE THE FALSE PREMISE TO INTERPRET VATICAN II AND CREATE POLARISATION Pope Leo, Archbishop Rino Fisichella and Fr. Antonio Spadero sj are deliberately choosing the False Premise to interpret Vatican Council II and produce liberalism and polarization with the conservatives and traditionalists in the Church. The Synod Study Groups used the False Premise and the Consistory will do the same next month. Without the False Premise, Vatican Council II is aligned with the Athanasius Creed, the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX. There is no change in faith and morals. It means LGBT activity is a mortal sin. Divorce is not permitted. Priests cannot marry and women cannot become priests.The ecclesiology is exclusivist at every liturgy and Holy Mass. The whole Church has to use the Roman Missal which is in harmony with the Athanasius Creed, while, the New Missal of Pope Paul VI is not. The New …More
Pope Leo: "I prefer to pray in a Catholic church, in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament" While meeting journalists in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV was asked why he had not prayed— “at least not visibly”—during his visit to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul on his First Apostolic Journey to Turkey and Lebanon. The Pope responded with a gentle smile: “Who said I didn’t pray? … And perhaps I’m praying even now.” He went on to explain, “I prefer to pray in a Catholic church, in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament,” calling the attention surrounding the incident “a bit… curious.” shalomworldnews
Papa Leone XIV in risposta ad una “curiosa” osservazione: «Preferisco pregare alla presenza del Santissimo Sacramento» Significativa la risposta che Papa Leone XIV offre con cortesia al giornalista che lo interroga sulla mancata preghiera nella moschea Sultan Ahmed (nota come la Moschea Blu) durante la recente visita a Istanbul.
@Everyday for Life Canada Certainly she's beautiful, but also high maintenance. Women like this will want the husband to provide her a maid, and a nanny for the kids, while she gets her me time at the spa. She will say that what she brings to the table is herself. Not really wife material.
Yes, but this can put way too much pressure on the husband…she needs to do her part in the relationship…help him, support him, accept him, take care of the home and the children so he can do his job….its not a one way street, and of course in partnership with Jesus.
We continue posting daily Advent reflections by the Church Fathers. It's a good way to prepare to celebrate Christmas. The reflections and quotations come from the book titled, Advent and Christmas with the Church Fathers by Marco Pappalardo. Introduction What still astounds us is also what helps us to live each day with new eyes. On Christmas night in Bethlehem, many people must have experienced a wonder that rejuvenated them, drawing them outside of themselves and away from their concerns to follow the star, to seek a king, and to listen to the angels’ song. What a special night that Christmas must have been! Now it is up to us to let ourselves still be amazed by the Father’s grand gesture of love; it is up to us to believe in the Incarnation of the Son without a doubt, to be convinced of it, and to give witness to it by the strength of the Holy Spirit. Ephrem the Syrian, Hymn for the Birth of Christ, A man is overcome by great awe when he considers the miracle of God descending,…
