December 13 Saint Lucy of Syracuse. orlandileonordove49 St. Lucy Virgin and Martyr († 303) Saint Lucy was a young Christian maiden of Syracuse in Sicily. She had already offered her virginity to God and refused to marry, when her mother pressed her to accept the offer of a young pagan. The mother was afflicted afterwards for several years by an issue of blood, and all human remedies were ineffectual. Lucy reminded her mother that a woman in the Gospel, suffering from the same disorder, had been healed by the divine power. They determined to make a journey to Catania, a port of Sicily, where the tomb of Saint Agatha, martyred in 251, was already a site of pilgrimage. Saint Agatha, Lucy said, stands ever in the sight of Him for whom she died. Only touch her sepulchre with faith, and you will be healed. The Saint of Catania had already saved that city, when Mount Etna had erupted the year after her martyrdom: some frightened pagans, seeing a course of lava descending directly toward the …More
University must pay $10m for forcing people to have Covid vaccine A Colorado university's medical school has been ordered to pay a $10.3 million settlement to staff and students who said they were forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine despite requesting religious exemptions. The University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz, located in Aurora, was sued in 2021 by 18 anonymous plaintiffs, including physicians, medical students, nurses, researchers and administrative staff, who argued the school's mandate violated their First Amendment rights. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately ruled that Chancellor Donald Elliman and other university officials acted with 'religious animus' when they rejected all requests for religious exemptions. Under the settlement, the university must now allow students to request religious accommodations on equal terms as employees, and grant religious exemption requests the same consideration as medical exemptions, a reversal of its policy during the pandemic. The …

Shrine Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe "The Lady from Heaven" Did you know? Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Saint Juan Diego on December 9, 10 and 12, 1531. The image left on Saint Juan Diego’s tilma is the only true picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe in existence. The image has remained intact with all its original vibrancy for 475 years. The natural life span of a cloak made with fiber from the agave or maguey plant is only about 30 years. The image is a pictograph which could be read and understood by the Aztec Indians. Our Lady appears as a beautiful young Indian maiden and Queen. Her eyes are looking down with humility and compassion. She is human, not God. She is wearing a blue-green mantle (the color worn by royalty) covered with stars. The stars signify she comes from heaven – the Queen of Heaven. The constellations are in the exact position as appeared before dawn on the morning of December 12, 1531. Her robe is colored rose or pale red and covered with Aztec flowers, symbolic of an …More
DECEMBER 13 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 17,10-13. As they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” He said in reply, "Elijah will indeed come and restore all things; but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they pleased. So also will the Son of Man suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
I've gotten into the habit of making "three" signs of the Cross using Epiphany Holy Water at night. I should start doing it to start my day off right as well.
Italian Priest Proposes "Baby Girl" as Christ in Nativity scene: On 3 December, Father Vitaliano Della Sala, pastor in Capocastello (Diocese of Avellino, Italy), told a local television station that a 'baby girl Jesus' should be introduced into nativity scenes because God could have incarnated as a woman as well. This "provocation" should stimulate reflection on women's "access" to Holy Orders: "I was thinking of having a baby girl Jesus born, to say that if Jesus was born male, this does not mean He privileged us men and excluded the possibility of women becoming deacons, priests and even bishops," Don Della Sala said. In 2023, the pro-homosexual priest featured two lesbians at the side of the manger.

I welcome this sort of stuff - The Orthodox Church ( who is monitoring this forum) will help spread the news of the Novus Ordo Heresies, further dividing the ever chance of unification. Imagine that, promoting a female messiah, and promoting young girls with hand grenades, and venerating NAZI's These Buggers are terrorists.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán explains his stance on immigration, emphasizing that Hungary maintains “zero illegal immigration”. According to Orbán, anyone wishing to enter the country must request and receive permission beforehand, and no one can step onto Hungarian territory without it. He said that because Hungary blocks illegal immigration into both Hungary and the EU, the country faces EU financial sanctions—amounting, he claims, to one million euros per day. Orbán called this an example of the “absurd world” Europe is currently living in.

Several voices within Vatican City have expressed unease over the risks surrounding cooperation with Italian intelligence services, reports SilereNonPossum.com. The concern is heightened by the existence of dossiers compiled in recent years on prominent figures of the Holy See, including Cardinal Angelo Becciu and other prelates. An anonymous cardinal noted that operational contacts between the Vatican Gendarmerie and Italian intelligence agencies — originally established for protection and prevention — are increasingly being used as channels to collect or circulate information about priests, bishops, cardinals, and other Vatican figures, fostering dynamics of pressure, suspicion, and internal control. Today, Leo XIV received directors and staff of Italian intelligence in private audience.
I dubbi in Vaticano: etica, dossieraggio e confini della cooperazione L’udienza, però, non è stata accolta ovunque con serenità. Diversi ambienti interni alla Città del Vaticano hanno manifestato perplessità per le criticità etiche e morali che accompagnano, in generale, l’operato dei servizi di intelligence: l’equilibrio tra tutela del bene comune e rispetto della persona, tra sicurezza e rischio di “uso” improprio dell’informazione. In questo quadro si inserisce anche il tema – oggi particolarmente sensibile – del dossieraggio che ha coinvolto, negli anni scorsi, figure di rilievo della Santa Sede, tra cui il cardinale Angelo Becciu ed altri prelati. Un cardinale ha sottolineato, inoltre, che i contatti operativi fra Gendarmeria Vaticana e apparati informativi italiani, nati per finalità di protezione e prevenzione, sono spesso diventati ambigui negli ultimi anni, venendo utilizzati come canali per raccogliere o far circolare informazioni su preti, vescovi, cardinali e …More
These men, Bergoglio, Prevost and others are tearing down the edifice that was built on Christ and stood for two thousand years, right before our eyes. And the silence is deafening
Politicians usually behave in an opposite manner to their words. Leo is a politician. My guess is the Synodal pope will shield abusive clergy from justice.
