Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, of Hong Kong, responded publicly to an article by Fr. Han Qingping concerning the “retirement” of Bishop Zhang Weizhu of the Diocese of Xinxiang and the consecration of Bishop Li Jianlin. Fr. Han’s article described the replacement of the persecuted underground bishop with the state-recognized bishop as a positive sign of improving Sino-Vatican relations. He claimed that critics of the situation - implicitly referring to Cardinal Zen - were motivated by “stupidity,” “malice,” or a “distorted personality.” “This struck a nerve with me,” Cardinal Zen replied via his personal blog on December 11: “I don’t admit to being a ‘bad person’ or having a ‘personality disorder,’ but I am indeed ‘stupid’ enough to ‘take it personally.’” Zen also responded to Fr. Han’s reference to his criticism of the Synod on Synodality. He clarified that his description of “Church suicide behavior” does not refer to the synod as a whole or to synodality in general, but …More
Leo XIV received George Weigel in audience, today.
Questa mattina Papa Leone XIV ha ricevuto in udienza il professor George Weigel. George Weigel è uno scrittore neoconservatore cattolico americano. Il 27 gennaio 2017, in risposta alle voci secondo cui Weigel sarebbe stato nominato ambasciatore presso la Santa Sede, l'allora cardinale Theodore Edgar McCarrick scrisse a papa Francesco affermando che Weigel era "un vero leader dell'ala ultraconservatrice della Chiesa cattolica negli Stati Uniti e in passato è stato pubblicamente critico nei confronti di Sua Santità". Aggiunse: "Molti di noi vescovi americani sarebbero molto preoccupati che venisse nominato in una posizione del genere, in cui avrebbe una voce ufficiale, in opposizione al vostro insegnamento". McCarrick indicò che sarebbe stato felice di discutere ulteriormente l'argomento con il papa... ...Weigel ha criticato il Sinodo sull'Amazzonia del 2019 e la struttura dei sinodi ecclesiastici in generale, affermando che non rappresentano mai pienamente ciò in cui credono i laici …More
The "Mother of the true God" destroys the heresy of the religious indifferentism promoted by Prevost. Just ten years after the conquest of Mexico, the Blessed Virgin appeared in Tepeyac, Mexico. She used an Indian recently converted to the Catholic faith called Juan Diego on Tuesday, December 12, 1531 to bring out the idolatry of the Native Indians. She was presented as "the perfect ever Virgin Saint Mary, Mother of the true God" to make known the Gospel of her son Jesus Christ to the native Indians of the New Continent. ´Know thou, O my beloved child, that I am the Ever Virgin Mary, Mother of the true God, the Author of Life, Creator of all, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Who is present everywhere´ Nine million inhabitants converted to Christianity. That for centuries they had professed a polytheistic religion and practiced the most cruel human sacrifices. One of the first Franciscan Fathers, Toribio de Benavente, affirmed in 1537, just six years after after the appearance of Our Lady …More
Obviously an old post - it's too late to pray that Francis die "repentant." that ship has sailed. While true that ONLY God judges & knows, it doesn't look good from what information we have.
Kristi Noem is exposed in her lies about not deporting American citizens, even those affected were present when she was exposed. Truth is coming out for those Trump lovers and racist people who call themselves christians and are anti - christs, wolves in sheep clothing. Justice will be done by asking God through prayer. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. GOD WILL DEFEAT THOSE DEMONS.
"All who adore My Precious Blood console My Father Who loves His Son the most. As you adore My Blood, the pains of My Sacred Heart lessen. The Sorrowful Heart of My Mother will also be consoled. Children, adore My Precious Blood always and offer it to My Father for mercy. Hear this prayer. Pray it always in reparation for the sins of the whole world. Pray it three times each time you pray it. I assure you that the Divine Mercy will multiply. Pray it always and many times a day, since you are living in these ungodly days. Pray it so that you shall be safe from the purification fire. Children, make it known to the whole world." Eternal Father, I offer to You all the wounds of Your dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ; the pains and agony of His Sacred Heart and His Most Precious Blood, which gushed out from all his wounds, for the reparation of my sins and those of the whole world. Amen. (repeat 3 times)
The following column, republish from America Magazine, was authored by Daniel E. Garcia, Brendan J. Cahill and Robert J. Brennan In the Gospel of Luke, a scholar of the law poses a question to Jesus that continues to echo in our hearts today: “And who is my neighbor?” (10:29). It is a question that reveals both the yearning and the resistance found within the human spirit—a desire to do what is right and yet a temptation to draw artificial boundaries around our compassion. This Gospel truth compels us to speak with clarity and conviction in the face of injustice toward our neighbors. Today, too many of our brothers and sisters live under the shadow of fear. In particular, right now in our country, those who are Black, Brown, Asian and Native American live in fear of being profiled, detained or deported simply because of the color of their skin. This fear is not abstract. It is part of daily life for many in our parishes, our schools and our communities. Our Lord responds to the question …
The Three Stooges are really stupid. The socialism of their words convicts them of being watered-down communists. Do not listen to advice coming from fools.
Wed Dec 10, 2025 - 10:02 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — Do you enjoy dropping fun facts into conversations? Some people might be intrigued to hear that the average ocean depth is roughly equivalent to stacking eight Empire State Buildings on top of one another. Others may be amused to learn that the human brain generates about 12 to 25 watts of electricity at any given moment – just enough to power a small light bulb. But many would raise an eyebrow if you claimed that Brazil was once the actual seat of a European monarchy and that Rio de Janeiro served as the capital of the realm. Even more striking is the fact that the Brazilian royal family still exists (more precisely, imperial family), even though with no public duties or roles, and that the current head of the Imperial House of Brazil, Dom Bertrand de Orléans e Bragança, is a devout Catholic who receives Communion daily. “I have received Holy Communion every day of my life since I was 17 (he is 84 now). I remember missing Communion only …
