Sources have told the Catholic Herald that Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes did not attend the extraordinary consistory because he was directly barred from travelling by the Nicaraguan state, according to those with direct knowledge of the situation. The decision is understood to be linked to the continuing persecution of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, where Church leaders remain subject to surveillance, restrictions on movement, and punitive measures by the authorities.
Burying Truth Hinders Spiritual Growth The gospel reading highlights the Jewish people’s inability to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, despite acknowledging the presence of prophets. This refusal to accept the truth of Jesus’ identity extends to modern times, where people often acknowledge His divinity but struggle to accept the implications for their own lives. Embracing the full truth of Jesus’ identity, including His suffering and resurrection, means accepting the call to share in His glory through suffering and living a life of faith. Fr.

A Patristic Homily on Christian Marriage Beloved brethren, God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. From the beginning He established order, and by order He preserves all things. When He created man and woman, He joined them before transgression, not in disorder, but in unity of life and purpose, in harmony of soul under God. There was no shame in the beginning, because there was no rebellion. The will was upright, and the body obedient. Thus it is written: “The two shall be one.” This oneness signifies unity and indissolubility, not indulgence. Therefore the Lord Himself later proclaimed: “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Divorce is strictly shunned, for it violates the order established by God from the beginning. After the transgression, however, man fell from obedience, and with that fall came disorder. Desire—which had no place before—now inclined the will. The flesh no longer obeyed the soul with ease. In this state of infirmity, marriage was …More

Why God Gives You Gifts God’s gifts are for the benefit of others, not just ourselves. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, our callings are paths to sainthood, and we should use our gifts humbly and in accordance with God’s will.

01/16/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. This motto was proclaimed in 1939 by Polish Marshal Edward Rydz Śmigły. At that time, it concerned German demands regarding Gdynia and the Free City of Danzig. There is no need to mention how that turned out. Today, history is repeating itself, but there are fundamental differences. We have an unprecedented situation in which friends with an 80-year history are beginning to quarrel. The danger of an occupation of Greenland by the US threatens only Denmark, whose colony this island is. It would be different if Trump were to go much further and take over Canada in one way or another. The French islands in Canada are the archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, an autonomous overseas territory of France in the Atlantic Ocean, near the coast of Newfoundland. These islands are also remnants of French colonies. Therefore, I am not surprised that Emmanuel Macron, who has shown “solidarity” with Denmark, has decided to support Denmark by sending 15…

Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, 79, said that during the consistory on 7-8 January, he did not hear anyone say, "Oh, I’m sorry we didn’t discuss the liturgy". He told the Substack.com-account The Pillar on 13 January, that what Leo XIV will do with the Mass of the Roman Rite is "beyond my pay grade": "I can’t speculate about how he intends to approach the situation. But I can’t imagine a pope who wouldn’t want to bring peace to the Church. I think every pope since St Peter would want that," the cardinal speculated. In general, he found the consistory a "healthy" exercise. "As soon as we got together and realised that the first thing we would do was spend the whole afternoon discussing it, we realised we were already at work. People immediately switched into gear. All three sessions were good." "Not Possible Without Pope Francis" When asked if the lack of collegiality among the cardinals wasn’t the elephant in the room under Francis, Cardinal Czerny denied it, saying: “No, quite the …More
