Communing with sin is like a discussion with Satan, who is a fallen, but nevertheless an angel. He surpasses us in cleverness and intelligence . Without an established faith in the Most High God, we are only puppets in his hands. He often uses the lowest human instincts, such as lusts, sins of impurity – which God greatly abhors. Satan uses them because they affect all of man’s senses and it is easier to entrap him. Talking about sins of impurity or carnal sins should be short, firm without unnecessary explanations. Any unraveling and details open our minds to evil desires. You can see the shadow of the fallen one by listening to priests, especially the elderly, talking about some perversion that they advocate. You look at them and think: what are you old men talking about? How do you know such things? Why do you delve into abominations when you were supposed to live a celibate life? Why do you justify them?

Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, 76, of Managua, Nicaragua, did not attend the consistory held in Rome on 7–8 January. He stated that he was not invited, claiming that he had checked his emails, WhatsApp messages and communications from the College of Cardinals. However, on 8 January, senior Church sources told LaPrensaNi.com that Cardinal Brenes had received an invitation to participate in the consistory but had refused to go for undisclosed reasons. The sources also indicated that there may be ongoing or attempted negotiations with the Nicaraguan government. The Church has faced sustained confrontation with the Ortega regime, resulting in persecution, restrictions on religious activity and the forced exile of several bishops.

Czechia: The Communists had wanted to make Neratovice the first church free city. Now it will be home to the largest 3D printed church. Success or failure?
Following the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, Pope Leo XIV calls for the will of the Venezuelan people to be respected: “he escalating tensions in the Caribbean Sea and along the American Pacific coast are also a cause for serious concern. I wish to repeat my urgent appeal that peaceful political solutions to the current situation should be sought, keeping in mind the common good of the peoples and not the defense of partisan interests. This pertains in particular to Venezuela, in light of recent developments. In this regard, I renew my appeal to respect the will of the Venezuelan people, and to safeguard the human and civil rights of all, ensuring a future of stability and concord. To this end, inspiration may be drawn from the example of two of its children whom I had the joy of canonizing last October – José Gregorio Hernández and Sister Carmen Rendiles. May their witness inspire the building of a society founded on justice, truth, freedom and fraternity, and thus enable the nation to …More
Pope Leo XIV met today with members of the Diplomatic Corps. Key points of his address largely drawing from St Augustine and Benedict XVI and Francis. Main phrases. - This past year saw […] the return to the Father’s house of my venerable predecessor, Pope Francis. The whole world gathered around his coffin on the day of his funeral, and sensed the loss of a father who had guided the People of God with immense pastoral charity. - The weakness of multilateralism is a particular cause for concern at the international level. A diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force, by either individuals or groups of allies. Peace as Domination - War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. - The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. - “Peace” is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting …More
A mixed bag... though he made a few good points about "freedom of expression" & "freedom of conscience" [which is a VERY misused concept - employed by dissenters from the Truths of the Faith for decades!], he doubled-down on the migration AND the role of the United Nations. Both of these are issues show a liberal bias. IOW continuation of Francis' agenda.
This is the Lord's doing and we are in awe. Thanks to God and president Trump political prisoners in Venezuela have been released, this is NOT AI. This happened and slowly but surely due to president's Trump actions capturing Maduro and pressuring the regime towards a new day, things (again, at a slow pace) are turning around in Venezuela... Can you imagine a free Venezuela striving to grasp holiness? Let us pray and hope for that, again, Thanks be to God and president Trump.
U.S. behaving like pirates in the Atlantic, try to seize a Russian oil tanker by boarding it with helicopters regardless of the Russian's letting them know they were Russian. To this Russia had to send a nuclear submarine with hypersonic nuclear missiles technology that the U.S. does not have yet, to escort the oil Tanker. TENSIONS ARISE IN THE ATLANTIC BETWEEN THE U.S. AND RUSSIA BUT THIS TIME IS THE U.S. RAISING THOSE TENSIONS AS TRUMP IS PRETTY MUCH CLAIMING ALL THE OCEANS AS HIS, IT IS NOT JUST THE GULF OF AMERICA (GULF OF MEXICO) NOW IS THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC OCEANS THAT THE U.S. IS TAKING OVER. THIS IS NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS TRUMP'S DONROE'S DICTATORSHIP IMPERIALISTIC DOCTRINE.

For over one hundred years, St. Catherine's sisters did magnificent work in hospitals. In many American cities, the first hospitals were started by the Daughters of Charity. Today, there are no more hospitals as this order died off. This is a terrible tragedy, as now the sick are no longer comforted by these nuns.
