Bishop Fernando Rifan to Remain in Office Until 2027

The governance of Bishop Fernando Arêas Rifan, 75, of the Old Rite Apostolic Administration in Campos, Brazil, has been extended until spring 2027. He announced the extension in a pastoral letter published on January 11 on AdApostolica.org.
Monsignor Rifan recalled his meetings with Leo XIV in the autumn.
On 15 November 2025, he was received in private audience by Leo XIV, to whom he presented his resignation and the situation of the Apostolic Administration.
Leo XIV asked whether Bishop Rifan also celebrates the Novus Ordo. “I told him that in our churches we celebrate the ancient rite, but that when invited I concelebrate with our diocesan bishop, Bishop Roberto Paz, using the current rite, and likewise when I or our priests, when invited, celebrate Mass in the churches of the dioceses, we celebrate the Mass in the current form.”
Bishop Rifan on Leo XIV’s reaction: “He showed himself satisfied.”
On 17 November, Monsignor Rifan was received at the Dicastery for Bishops. There, he …More

In this first episode of the Semiquincentennial year, The Tombstone Four get back in the saddle. Donning hip boots, we wade into EXTREMELY politically incorrect discussions of monarchy, democracy, race, the Tel Aviv Cabal, and the need for rough and ready adult men to seriously face the unprecedentedly grave threats to civilization, and then act. And if you think there’s any hope that the College of Cardinals will act to restore the See of the Monarch of monarchs, remember the immortal words of Monsignor Agostini caught on a hot mic just a few days ago, looking over the gathered College of Cardinals: “(((Enthusiastic abusers of the posterior fundament))), all together.” Truer words haven’t been spoken in the Vatican in a very, very long time. Turns out the same words apply in Washington D.C.

Cardinals on Consistory: "Everything Was Very Controlled"

Reports from the extraordinary consistory on January 7-8 in Rome point to significant internal disagreements. TheCatholicHerald.com cites several cardinals, most speaking anonymously. Main quotes.
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Jerusalem: “Reform is not a Church language. In the Church there are no reforms. We must reflect on our mission and vocation according to the times, but faithful to the roots and to the mission of the Church.”
Cardinal Frank Leo, Toronto: “I don’t think the College of Cardinals is divided at all.”
Anders Arborelius, Stockholm, on liturgy: “I hope we can find a compromise.”
Another Cardinal: “Some of Pope Francis’ friends spoke about a new Church and absolute change.”
Conservative cardinal, anonymous: “This whole synodal style doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t understand the intelligent men who write on and on about it.”
Progressive cardinal, anonymous: “Sitting around tables rather than facing leaders at the front is a brilliant sign of collegiality.” …More

In the 1970s, the number of homeschoolers was roughly 13,000. By the 1980s, this figure had grown to 200,000, and by the 1990s, it reached 850,000. Fast forward to today, and there are now over five million homeschoolers, with the trend continuing to climb. People are finally waking up to the true nature of the government indoctrination camps euphemistically referred to as "schools".

The story behind Pope Leo XIV’s new papal staff

Jan 12, 2026 / 12:25 pm
Last week during the Jan. 6 closing of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV used a new papal staff, or ferula, which is used by pontiffs in solemn ceremonies and represents their leadership as bishop of Rome and supreme pastor of the entire Church.
According to the
Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Holy See, popes have traditionally received this insignia after their election, when they took possession of their see in St. John Lateran Basilica.
The papal staff, used only by the pope and topped with a cross or a crucifix, is different from the bishop’s crozier — the shepherd’s staff — which ends in a curve and is used by bishops and archbishops.
It was St. Paul VI who, in 1965 on the occasion of the closing of the Second Vatican Council, used a silver ferula with a crucifix designed by the sculptor Lello Scorzelli. The pontiff began to use this cross with increasing frequency in liturgical celebrations, as his successors would later do. …

Pope Leo XIV has received Venezuelan political activist María Corina Machado in a private audience today at the Vatican. The meeting was later confirmed in the Holy See’s daily bulletin but no information about the discussion has been released by the Vatican. Machado, who got the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, is a former member of Venezuela’s National Assembly and one of the most prominent figures of the country’s opposition.

While the rest of the world is plotting and planning on destroying countries around the world, While they are destroying them now. While they plot and plan to destroy Russia she is preparing for the showdown. When GOD is ready they will all learn pride and hatred and arrogance is not what wins wars. When that day comes, I am sure Russia will hit every underground city they have built and all their bunkers. I am sure of it because I am positive GOD is in complete control and that is His Will. Not that He will be in control later. But always in control.

Russia is turning its military into a high-tech arsenal – here’s what’s next

From nuclear-powered subs to AI-powered drones, these upgrades are set to transform Russia’s battlefield reach
In 2026, Russia’s military-industrial complex is set to introduce a new wave of weapons systems across nearly every domain of warfare. A number of long-running projects are expected to reach key testing stages or enter service, while others will appear in updated configurations shaped by recent operational experience. Together, these developments offer a useful snapshot of where Russian military technology is headed in the near term.
RT provides an overview of the most significant platforms and systems that are likely to define the next stage of modernization for Russia’s armed forces – from strategic missiles and submarines to air defense systems, combat aircraft, and unmanned technologies. These programs reflect a consistent focus on survivability, automation, and asymmetric advantage, as well as a clear intent to integrate new solutions rapidly into active service.

Vatican II is no longer being treated as one council received by the Church. It is being treated as the interpretive tribunal before which all other councils must now appear. If something from the past fits the conciliar vocabulary, it may remain. If it resists that vocabulary, it must be “re-read,” “re-framed,” or quietly set aside. This is why the language matters so much.

Bishop Strickland about the fateful council

My Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move.
What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice.
There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process.
And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it.
From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …More
