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

The Third Secret of Fatima– A Testimony by Dr. Franco Adessa - Chiesa Viva

«Satan really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church.»
"At last, those who will survive all of these events will once more proclaim God and His Glory and serve Him like before, when the world was not so corrupted.
Go, My child and proclaim this! I shall always remain by your side to help you."

THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA
A great chastisement will fall on the entire human race; not today as yet, not tomorrow, but in the second half of the Twentieth Century.
No longer does order reign anywhere and Satan will reign over the highest places directing the course of events.
He (Satan) really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church. Also for the Church a time of Her greatest trials will come. Cardinals will oppose Cardinals; Bishops will oppose Bishops and Satan will march amid their ranks, and in Rome there will be changes. What is rotten will fall, and what will fall will never rise again.
The Church will be darkened and the world deranged by terror. A great war …More

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.

Former Irish president Mary McAleese argues in an op-ed for The Irish Times that the baptism of children violates human rights and should be outlawed, a stance critics liken to historic anti-Catholic measures under Elizabeth I. Since leaving office, McAleese has pushed for sweeping reforms of Catholic doctrine—especially on marriage, sexuality, abortion, and the male-only priesthood—while holding academic posts at institutions such as Boston College and University of Notre Dame, and earning a canon law doctorate from the Pontifical Gregorian University. The author contends that her rhetoric is often imprecise, particularly in blaming canon law itself for failures to address abuse, arguing instead that church leaders failed to use the authority the law already granted them.

Mary McAleese: Baptism is a key Catholic recruitment tool. It denies babies their human rights

Throughout the world, there continues a long-standing, systemic and overlooked severe restriction on children’s rights with regard to religion. This warrants, but has yet to receive, serious examination. It impacts Ireland in a special way and contemporary circumstances make Ireland an ideal place to conduct that examination.
Let me set the scene with a couple of brief, inter-related stories.

Okay, lett's play along. Let's ask McAleese if she also believes that CIRCUMSIZING BABIES also violate children's rights with regard to religion!!!!

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. …

New Archbishop of Cape Town Gave “Collective Absolution” at Ecumenical Gathering: Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Sithembele Anton Sipuka, 65, as Archbishop of Cape Town on January 9. In October 2024, Sipuka had been elected President of the ecumenical body 'South African Council of Churches' (SACC).
At the SACC’s National Day of Prayer in June 2025, the program included a “collective confession of sins.” A woman introducing the segment in the recorded video declared: “Beloved in Christ, let us confess our sins before the Almighty.” The congregation was then led through a national confession, explicitly naming colonialism, apartheid, racism, corruption, violence, and injustice. Participants were instructed to repeat the text aloud together.
Following this confession, Monsignor Sipuka addressed the largely Protestant assembly with words resembling absolution: “And so let us accept the gracious forgiveness of God. Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love towards us. …More

During the National Day of Prayer ecumenical service in June 2025, held at Grace Bible Church in Soweto, the South African Council of Churches led a collective confession of sins introduced with the words: “Beloved in Christ, let us confess our sins before the Almighty.” The congregation was then guided through a national confession, naming historical and social sins such as colonialism, apartheid, racism, corruption, violence, and injustice. Immediately following this confession, the Catholic Bishop Sipuka declared forgiveness, stating: “By the grace of God and the love of Christ, you are forgiven.”

Couldn't Leo XIV find Catholics to nominate on important dioceses?

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.

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".

What must we do to gain Heaven? We must know, love and serve God.

Fr. Gerald Murray: "I'll say this again... No bishop can prohibit Ad Orientem celebration of the Mass in his diocese beyond his powers, because it is foreseen in the Roman Missal, and the Dicastery of Divine Worship has affirmed in private correspondence in the past that this remains a legitimate way to celebrate Mass. Sad to say, many bishops ignore it, and they won't like it to hear it said, but there and by, why in the world would you want to prohibit what was done for 1300 years or more?"

When the Novus Ordo came out, it stated (for the Orate Frates) the priest TURNS to the congregation, meaning that it was taken for granted the priest was celebrating the Mass AD ORIENTEM.

It was taught in theology schools since Vatican II that the bishop is the "chief liturgist" in his diocese. Usually a task he performed with the consultation of some professional liturgist [mostly female]. Hence the reason why the N.O. Mass is different from diocese to diocese.

US launches 'large-scale strikes' against ISIS in Syria: US Central Command

The U.S. military conducted airstrikes against Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces. CENTCOM said they, as well as partner forces, conducted "large-scale strikes" against multiple ISIS targets across Syria on Saturday as part of Operation Hawkeye Strike. "The strikes today targeted ISIS throughout Syria as part of our ongoing commitment to root out Islamic terrorism against our warfighters, prevent future attacks, and protect American and partner forces in the region. U.S. and coalition forces remain resolute in pursuing terrorists who seek to harm the United States," CENTCOM announced on X. "Our message remains strong: if you harm our warfighters, we will find you and kill you anywhere in the world, no matter how hard you try to evade justice," according to the post."

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.
