“I am in favour of moving ahead quickly with the ordination of women to the diaconate,” English Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe OP, 80, told Telegraph.co.uk on January 6. On female priests, he added that it is “complicated”: “It’s not the most important question. Ordination to the priesthood isn’t the big priority. It has to be done with the consent of the whole Church.” Beautiful Touching Between Elderly Men Cardinal Radcliffe is a friend of the late Pope Francis. In 2016, while recovering from an operation on his jaw following a cancer diagnosis, he attended a conference in Rome with the then pope: “He came over and rested his forehead on my forehead for about 30 seconds. Nothing was said. It was beautiful.” Leo XIV in Continuity with Francis, but Better Manners Pope Leo XIV was elected partly “to bring back people who had been alienated by Francis”, and partly to continue his predecessor’s work. "We chose Leo because he could do both – he could move it on but also gather people in …More
What do you think: is it manifest destiny that the United States acquire or at least exercise control over Greenland? That’s pretty much how we got Texas, California, New Mexico, Hawaii, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam and American Samoa. Then there was the Louisiana purchase. In 1803, Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States, paying France $15 million or a bit less than three cents per acre for a land mass that is about 26 percent of the contiguous United States. And let’s not forget about Alaska. A few facts about Greenland. It is big: 836,000 square miles. It is home to about 50,000 people, mostly Inuits. Historically, it has been seen as the semi-autonomous property of Denmark. It is much closer to the east coast of the United States than it is to Denmark – much, much closer if you travel from the 51st state, sometimes known as Canada. According to Donald Trump, we’ll get around to talking about the United States exercising control of Greenland in “two months,”…

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 Russian army is urgently evacuating the staff of the Russian embassy along with their families in Israel and returning them to Russia. This is the third flight by Russia in the past 24 hours to evacuate its embassy in Israel. There are some news that Russia has been informed of apparently. Pray the Rosary......prions le Très Saint rosaire et faisons pénitence.....urgent...la guerre est à notre porte !
Don't believe everything you read in the news. On the other hand since Russia's KGB works hand in glove with the Mossad it is likely there will be a false flag event and Russia is in on the planning! So there! Believe what you want but not silly prophecies from someone who "saw the assassination attempt," total fakery 101 folks!
"Mark the disciple and interpreter of Peterwrote a short gospel at the request of the brethren at Rome embodying what he had heard Peter tell. When Peter had heard this, he approved it and published it to the churches to be read by his authority as Clemens in the sixth book of his Hypotyposes and Papias, bishop of Hierapolis, record. Peter also mentions this Mark in his first epistle, figuratively indicating Rome under the name of Babylon She who is in Babylon elect together with you salutes you and so does Mark my son."
[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; Stridon, Roman Empire/Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; aged 75-78, Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] “Chapter 7 Luke a physician of Antioch, as his writings indicate, was not unskilled in the Greek language. An adherent of the apostle Paul, and companion of all his journeying, he wrote a Gospel, concerning which the same Paul says, We send with him a brother whose praise in the gospel is among all the churches and to the Colossians Luke the beloved physician salutes you, and to Timothy Luke only is with me. He also wrote another excellent volume to which he prefixed the title Acts of the Apostles, a history which extends to the second year of Paul's sojourn at Rome, that is to the fourth year of Nero, from which we learn that the book was composed in that same city. Therefore the Acts of Paul and Thecla and all the fable about the lion baptized by him we reckon among the apocryphal writings, for how is it possible that …More
Young Catholics Confront Blasphemous Exhibit in Vienna During the Christmas season—when Christians honor the birth of Our Savior—these displays strike at the heart of the Catholic Faith. But faithful Catholics refuse to remain silent. “Because these attacks are public, our reparation must be public,” says a TFP Student Action member. Together with Austrian and German TFP members, the faithful prayed the Holy Rosary in the streets of Vienna, offering reparation for the grave offenses committed against God. Despite shocking praise for the exhibit from Bishop Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck, courageous Catholics—especially young people—stood firm, defending the honor of Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother. Join the effort. Stand for the Faith. Sign the petition below and help remove this blasphemous exhibit: Blasphemous Exhibit in Vienna Attacks God Site: tfpstudentaction.org

Father Tad Pacholczyk On The Morality Of Embryo Adoption Father Tad Pacholczyk serves as Senior Ethicist at The National Catholic Bioethics Center and has a doctorate in neuroscience. Today he joins Kevin Nelson in the living room to chat about embryo adoption. He defines embryo adoption for us and why there is controversy around the topic, talks about how there is no official Church teaching on it, his professional opinion as an ethicist, his recent debate on this topic with another Catholic priest, what the points of his opposing position and what his reasons were, if a Catholic couple can choose this option prudently or if it is a grave sin, some alternatives to embryo adoption that still recognize the dignity of the human life of the embryo but doesn’t force a couple to engage in in-vitro fertilization, and where viewers can learn more about his work.

Pope Leo XIV delivering the English summary of his first General Audience catechesis of a new cycle on Vatican II, saying: “We see that the documents have lost none of their relevance and are pertinent to the demands and challenges of today. Closely studying the Council documents will help us to be attentive interpreters of the signs of the times, and to proclaim the Gospel to all.”
What he is really saying is, screw the Bible and what Christ taught, and screw the idea of repentance, just pay attention to the documents in the Second Vatican Council, that's most important.
