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.
The letter below was sent to the editor of The Wanderer Catholic newspaper on May 11, 1939. The message is worth re-posting today. It's title was "Sure Cure for Communism." Today, we could include a cure for relativism, atheism, materialism and secularism. What morally ails America also applies to Canada. And the entire West. Mark Twain once said that every-body talks about the weather but very few try to do anything about it. The same comment might be made about the conversion of America. We could make many more converts if we would only try to do so. If every Catholic in America set as his goal the bringing of at least one convert into the Church every year, all America would be Catholic within three years. How can this be done? Here is a suggestion. Center your prayers on the soul you would save. Take a personal interest in the spiritual welfare of that person. See that he is supplied with suitable Catholic literature. Invite him to come to church with you, not once merely but many …

12/12/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Many of us ask ourselves: How can it be that our world is heading straight for disaster? The concepts of the “deep state,” globalists, technocrats, or simply the “swamp” don’t explain why so many people on our planet are completely indifferent to the direction it’s hurtling in. They are merely the architects and executors of a plan to seize global domination during the inevitable financial crisis fueled by mounting debt. We are still in the dark when it comes to understanding this meticulously crafted plan to destroy human civilization as we know it—a plan that is unfolding before our very eyes. Muhammad is the most popular name given to newborns in England. Of course, they exploit the fear, complacency, and selfishness of most of us. Psychological phenomena play a major role in this. An article by Simone Hörrlein, a German living in Canada, published on manova.news on Wednesday, sheds some light on the mechanisms used to change the world …
Operation Rescue just dropped its 2025 Annual Report, a unique survey that provides a broad understanding of abortion in America and equips pro-life advocates with hard-won data to dispel the abortion lobby’s highly coordinated talking points. The Abortion Cartel has seen record losses this year, but also some alarming trends, especially in the Virtual Back-Alley and chemical abortions. Operation Rescue has documented all of them and offers keen insights and analysis of the post-Roe abortion landscape in 2025. Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, says, “Operation Rescue stands alone as the only organization — whether pro-life or pro-abortion — that systematically tracks vital data on America’s abortion clinics. We document closures and openings, procedure costs, gestational limits, and a wide range of emerging trends across the abortion industry. No other group provides such an in-depth, ground-level view of the Abortion Cartel and the way it truly operates.” Notable pro-life …
