José Camilo Arbeláez Montoya was appointed Bishop of Vélez (Santander) on 14 November 2025. Born in Bogotá in 1961, he first studied veterinary medicine, before entering seminary in Medellín. What makes him particularly interesting: –in 2001 he created Fundación Pan y Paraíso, a charity serving vulnerable children with food, formation, and pastoral care. – He has a strong charismatic identity. His preaching often centers on the Holy Spirit, interior healing, and “renewal of baptismal grace”; he teaches a Catholic theology of the Bautismo en el Espíritu Santo rooted in John XXIII’s “nuevo Pentecostés” and Paul VI’s “perenne Pentecostés”. – He has a poetic, affective pastoral style. Parishioners describe him as “el sacerdote de los poemas,” a man whose preaching mixes warmth, imagery, and spiritual tenderness. – He is present in international charismatic circles, including in Italy, where he has written short spiritual texts and presided at major renewal gatherings. – Despite hi
Police have opened an investigation after the Sacré-Cœur parish church in Lourdes was vandalized on November 11. Officers found the main doors marked with graffiti reading “À mort Jésus-Christ” (“Death to Jesus Christ”) and “Sale race de Jésus-Christ” (“Dirty race of Jesus Christ”). The messages were removed, and no suspects have been identified. The attack comes amid rising anti-Christian incidents in France. In 2023, the country recorded nearly 1,000 of Europe’s 2,444 anti-Christian hate crimes. Church arson attacks rose by over 30 percent in 2024, and authorities logged 322 anti-Christian acts between January and May 2025, a 13 percent increase from the previous year.
Voici les INSCRIPTIONS ANTICHRÉTIENNES qui ont été découvertes sur la porte centrale de l’église paroissiale du Sacré-Cœur à Lourdes : "À mort Jésus-Christ" et "Sale race de Jésus-Christ".
Longtime high school history teacher Jim McMurtry was suspended in May 2021 after commenting on unmarked graves at Indigenous residential schools while teaching at Robert Bateman Secondary School in Abbotsford, British Columbia. During a class discussion, he mentioned that most deaths in Indigenous residential schools were due to disease. A student complained, and the school district ruled that his comments were "inappropriate". McMurtry knows that his statements were historically accurate and argues that he was dismissed for challenging widely accepted narratives. He was officially fired on February 21, 2025.
Bishop Strickland called the USCCB to address this "event". He was totally ignored and isolated. This was his reaction on X: Dear Faithful Catholics These words came to me after awakening this morning. They are words I should have said to break the silence after my intervention at the USCCB meeting. I say them now to Pope Leo, to the bishops and to all who claim to be disciples of Jesus Christ. “How long will you halt between two masters? If you believe Christ is Lord, then follow Him! If the world is your master, then go to it! But no longer profane His sanctuary while you betray the Cross!” Bishops, STOP with the games! STOP with the lies. STOP turning a blind eye to the little ones! A massive stockpile of millstones is ready to be distributed among you. One for Pope Leo, a truck load for the Curia in the Vatican, and cargo ships full for the vast majority of today’s successors of the Apostles. How dare I speak these words, how dare I judge these princes of the Church? No brothers,…More
It would be interesting to ask a legit canonist if the sacrament was actually conferred. In my mind, I would wonder if this man had proper intent. Was he "joining" the Church for reasons of the actual Faith or to make some political statement or attention-seeking stunt?
illuminatibot @iluminatibot Israeli bankers allegedly murdered JFK because he tried to liberate the American people from the privatized Federal Reserve, force AIPAC and Israel to register under FARA, and stop Israel from stealing American nuclear technology, which they ultimately did. Lee Harvey Oswald was named the sole shooter because, according to some theories, if a president is murdered by a lone assassin, it's supposed to be a state investigation; if there are two or more shooters or conspirators, it becomes federal. It's alleged that LBJ lured Kennedy to his death and became President with the blessings of Israel. There are claims that LBJ permitted Israelis to murder U.S. soldiers on the USS Liberty, blamed the Egyptians in an attempt to start World War III as commanded by donors.
Dozulé Is 'Not Supernatural': Tucho Fernández, Pope Leo XIV's Prefect of the Dicastery for the "Doctrine of the Faith" has confirmed the decision of the Bishop of Bayeux-Lisieux that the alleged apparitions in Haute-Butte de Dozulé, France, are 'non-supernatural', meaning that they do not have 'an authentic divine origin'. They were claimed by Madeleine Aumont between 1972 and 1978. The message of Dozulé is the request to build a 738-metre-high, 123-metre-wide luminous cross, called the Glorious Cross, which would be visible from afar as a symbol of universal redemption and a sign of the allegedly imminent return of Christ.
Le diocèse de Bayeux-Lisieux a publié un communiqué confirmant la décision du Dicastère pour la Doctrine de la Foi concernant les événements de Dozulé. Dans une lettre adressée à Mgr Jacques Habert, le Dicastère réaffirme de manière définitive le caractère non surnaturel des prétendues apparitions rapportées entre 1972 et 1978 par Madeleine Aumont. Cette décision s’inscrit dans la continuité des conclusions déjà établies par Mgr Badré. Le diocèse invite les fidèles à accueillir ce discernement de l’Église et à recentrer leur foi sur la Croix du Christ et la vie sacramentelle.
'Confirmed' into what, precisely? While we cannot judge the souls of one another, that it has been staged as a 'public event' (with the ever 'publicity addicted' James Martin in attendance) rather than a private and personal one speaks volumes about what it was actually about.
It's blindly obvious for "those who have eyes to see" that a so-called 'church' that confirms people like this is NOT the True Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ and built on apostolic teaching!
