Time kept moving, and I kept falling… deeper and deeper into the mire of life. But You, O Lord, You wouldn’t let me die. You, O Lord, You reached out Your hand, even when all I wanted was the fight. So don’t leave me, ever. Remember me always. Let me see You clearly in my soul, in my heart, there will always be room for You. Though I am only dust, I love You, and I need Your love— for me, for my family. It’s all they need, nothing more.
Blessed Arthur Bell: The Franciscan Martyr of England | Saint Story for Kids (December 11th Blessed Arthur Bell (1590–1643), known in the Franciscan Order as Father Francis, was an English priest who courageously served the Church during one of the most dangerous times for Catholics in England. After studying and joining the Franciscans in Spain, he returned secretly to England to help restore the Franciscan presence, teach the faith, and support hidden Catholic communities. But during the English Civil War, simply being a Catholic priest was considered a crime. Father Francis was arrested in 1643 under suspicion of being a spy. Even though the accusations were false, he openly admitted that he was a Catholic priest. Because of this, he was condemned and executed at Tyburn — the same place where many English martyrs gave their lives. In this child-friendly episode, kids will learn: Why Blessed Arthur Bell risked everything to serve God What it meant to be a priest during persecution …More
Is there a definitive cause for the collapse in religious vocations? In this Pints With Aquinas episode, host Matt Fradd asks Sister Miriam Heidland, SOLT, a pressing question: Why are there so few religious sisters today? “I think part of it is the attack on spiritual motherhood and spiritual fatherhood…really, it’s the attack on man and woman, and like, who are we?” she begins. Sister Miriam then shares a personal story and offers her opinion on why there are fewer vocations to the religious life today. “I was talking with the bishop many months ago, and he was saying that in the 1960s…there was a religious community in Wisconsin that was receiving a hundred women a year. 100 women! And they built a brand new novitiate, and then by 1972, they were receiving just four,” she says. At this point in her conversation with the bishop, Sister Miriam says, he posed the question: “Women still have the capacity to say ‘yes’ to this divine invitation. What is preventing them?” Sister Miriam …
Pope Saint Damasus I - December 11 Memorial 11 December Profile Raised in a pious family; his father was a priest in Rome, Italy and Damasus served for a time as deacon in his father‘s church, Saint Laurence. Priest. Assistant to PopeLiberius. Chosen 37th pope in a disputed election in which a minority chose the anti-pope Ursinus. The two reigned simultaneously in Rome which eventually led to violence between their supporters and false accusations of Damasus having committed a crime. His pontificate suffered from the rise of Arianism, and from several schisms including break-away groups in Antioch, Constantinople, Sardinia, and Rome. However, it was during Damasus’ reign that Christianity was declared the religion of the Roman state. He enforced the 370 edict of Emperor Valentinian controlling gifts to prelates, and opposed Arianism and Apollinarianism. He supported the 374 council of Rome which decreed the valid books of the Bible, and the Grand Council of …More

Our Lady of Angels - December 11th, 2025 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living.

Cardinal José Cobo Is an Active Homosexual, a Spanish TV host claims publicly: On 20 November, Federico Jiménez Losantos, a well-known Spanish radio host and political commentator, said on his show: "If you see a bishop, examine him. Some of them have boyfriends who are involved in all kinds of trouble, yet they go around preaching the gospel. My goodness, I don't even want to think about it. I'm referring to Cobo, the bishop of Madrid." Jiménez Losantos didn't present factual information. He made this insinuation after spending several minutes explaining that the Catholic hierarchy is cowardly, treacherous, and aligned with the government.
En su programa de este 20 de noviembre, Federico Jiménez Losantos dejó caer una frase que, en cualquier época mínimamente sana de la Iglesia, habría desatado un escándalo de proporciones sísmicas: «Hay alguno que tiene al novio también metido en toda clase de líos… Me refiero a Cobo, el obispo de Madrid»

Cardinal Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo, emeritus of Caracas, was stopped from leaving Venezuela on December 10. Authorities at Simón Bolívar International Airport annulled his passport as he prepared to board a flight to Madrid. Officials informed him he was under a travel ban, confiscated his passport, and detained him for about two hours before sending him back to his residence. He was escorted even to go to the bathroom. Authorities claimed “non-compliance with travel regulations” and required Cardinal Porras to sign a document confirming he could not travel. The cardinal reported that when he attempted to photograph the document, he was threatened with arrest. He also said an officer told him he appeared as “deceased” in the government system, which was used to justify the passport cancellation. The incident follows growing tension between the Venezuelan government and the Church. Weeks earlier, Cardinal Porras had described the situation in Venezuela as “morally unacceptable …More

Here's the architect of 'Traditionis Custodes.' In this video, Andrea Grillo launches into a delirious speech in support of the ordination of women. Just look at how impeccably “measured” he is, professionally speaking, and how reliable his argument sounds. He, the great champion of the fight against Summorum Pontificum and Benedict XVI.
He's making a logical argument. If it is acceptable for women to lead men in the private and public sphere, logically they can lead men in the ecclesial realm. The problem is that that it is unnatural for women to govern men in any sphere, domestic, public or ecclesial. 1 Cor 11:1-3.

09.12.2025 POPE LEO’S INTERPRETATION OF VATICAN COUNCIL II PRODUCES POLARIZATION : GERMAN MEDIA NOT CORRECTED Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally is a break with Tradition but the Council can also be interpreted rationally. To prevent war with Israel, Pope Leo must not change the ecclesiocentric interpretation of the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms. It is Pope Leo who now maintains ‘the polarization’, the division in the Church, by interpreting LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, and GS 22 etc irrationally. For me they are not explicit cases in 2025. So the Council is traditional. It in line with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) according to the missionaries and magisterium of the 16th century. In a recent interview with the German media, Cardinal Gerhardt Muller has cautioned the traditionalists (and progressivists). Why? Was he implying that LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, Gs 22 etc, were explicit exceptions for EENS and the rest of Tradition? The German progessivists do not …More
Book of Isaiah 41,13-20. I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you." Fear not, O worm Jacob, O maggot Israel; I will help you, says the LORD; your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. I will make of you a threshing sledge, sharp, new, and double-edged, To thresh the mountains and crush them, to make the hills like chaff. When you winnow them, the wind shall carry them off and the storm shall scatter them. But you shall rejoice in the LORD, and glory in the Holy One of Israel. The afflicted and the needy seek water in vain, their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open up rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the broad valleys; I will turn the desert into a marshland, and the dry ground into springs of water. I will plant in the desert the cedar, acacia, myrtle, and olive; I will set in the wasteland the cypress, together with the plane tree …More
What happens when a person converts from one religion to another, or abandons religion altogether? A major new report charts exactly this, and a big finding is that “Conversion into Christianity appears to provide meaning, coherence, and social integration, whilst leaving the faith often coincides with disorientation and emotional decline.” This stands to reason. When a person converts to a religion, in this case Christianity, a major reason is that they are seeking meaning. But when a person leaves Christianity for atheism or agnosticism, neither will offer the same sense of meaning or community as religion. “The Changing Landscape of Faith in Britain: Rebirth, Renewal and Reimagining” report by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life, focuses on those who have changed their religious identity in Britain. As mentioned, this can involve leaving religion altogether or switching to a new one. A total of 2,774 adults who self-identified as having experienced a change in their …
