Our Lady of Banneux - January 15th, 2026 | 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. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 06:05 The Imitation of Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree

Trump Wisely Chooses Limited Goals Over Maria Corina Machado’s Ambitions: Trump’s right that she’s a nice and courageous lady, but he’s also correct that, without a strong base in the Venezuelan government, she'll be a millstone around America's neck.

Trump Wisely Chooses Limited Goals Over Maria Corina Machado’s Ambitions

In the immediate aftermath of the U.S. operation that led to Nicolás Maduro’s capture, much of Washington made a familiar assumption: that Donald Trump would now formally embrace the Venezuelan opposition and usher in a U.S.-backed political transition.
Within policy circles, think tanks, and cable news studios, expectations hardened quickly. The usual people anticipated recognition ceremonies, opposition figures positioned themselves for legitimacy, and commentators spoke confidently about a “handoff” phase, as if regime change naturally culminates in international endorsement and applause. That assumption reflected Washington’s worldview, not Trump’s.
Image created using AI.
Trump has never equated removing an adversary with an automatic claim to ownership of what follows. For him, Maduro’s capture was not an invitation to adopt a new client regime and begin nation-building. It was the conclusion of a discrete operation.
This is where the foreign-policy establishment repeatedly …

Vatican City high appeal court rejects prosecutor’s appeal in Becciu case

Vatican City’s highest appellate court has rejected an appeal from the city state’s chief prosecutor that sought to reopen the case against Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu and other defendants, even after the prosecution secured convictions against nine separate defendants on charges of various financial crimes, in a maxi-trial that concluded in 2023.
A laconic statement from the press office of the Holy See announced the developments on Monday.
The original case turned on a failed $400 million real estate deal in London, in which the Holy See’s Secretariat of State purchased a former Harrod’s warehouse in the Chelsea neighborhood with a view to turning the property into luxury apartments.
The Vatican eventually sold the property at a $163 million loss to extricate itself from the affair.
At the time the ill-fated deal was in the works, Becciu was serving as the sostituto …

British People Rise Up Against Bill Gates' Digital ID Scheme — Starmer's Digital Cage Is in Ruins

In a major defeat for intrusive digital governance, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has scrapped his controversial plan to make digital ID cards compulsory for workers — a policy widely decried on social platforms like X as a dystopian “Mark of the Beast” scheme.
Sky News reported this evening that the government has abandoned the mandatory requirement for digital identity cards to prove eligibility to work in the UK by 2029, after months of fierce public backlash.
Sky’s live politics update confirmed Starmer’s U-turn — announcing the end of compulsory digital IDs, though the government still aims to use digital verification tools in some form.

Everything we still didn't know about the Leo Consistory

We publish excerpts from the four reports prepared for last week's meeting of cardinals, which fueled the debate.
Cardinal Roche, the dark cloud over the Church
Almost a week has passed since the Extraordinary Consistory, and curiosity remains about what the Pope and the cardinals discussed behind closed doors in the new Synod Hall.
As Il Giornale anticipated on December 16, the four topics brought to the twenty working groups were a rereading of the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, the Synod and Synodality, a deeper understanding of the Apostolic Constitution Predicate Evangelium, and the liturgy. Only the first two, however, were the focus of the Consistory's work. This is because during the first session, the cardinals were asked to make a choice dictated by the limited time available.
Thus, the two sessions of the final day were introduced by reports from Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, and Cardinal Mario Grech, …

Ford worker has ‘no regrets whatsoever’
No regrets whatsoever,” TJ Sabula—the Ford employee who was suspended after heckling Trump—told the Washington Post. MS NOW: My Source for News, Opinion, and the World.
Late in the evening of Jan. 14, it appears he asked to close the donations to two GoFundMe pages. The pages were to support the suspended Ford employee, identified as T.J. Sabula, and raised $810,765 for him in total as of 7:36 p.m.
A GoFundMe spokesperson confirmed the two pages as legitimate fundraisers for Sabula. The Free Press reached out to Sabula, who did not respond to inquiries for comment. The GoFundMe spokesperson said he asked the organization to communicate that he is declining interviews at this time.
In an update on one of the pages, a person who identified himself as Sabula wrote on Jan. 14 in the late evening, "We greatly appreciate the outpouring of support! At this time we are closing donations to this campaign and encourage you to look for other causes and …More

Nový arcibiskup Kapského mesta podporuje "práva LGBTQ+ osôb": Pápež Lev XIV. v piatok vymenoval Mons. Sithembeleho Sipuku za arcibiskupa Kapského mesta. V októbri 2024 bol tento prelát zvolený za predsedu ekumenického orgánu Juhoafrická rada cirkví (SACC), ktorý bol už pred ním homosexuálnou ideologickou skupinou. Počas "Národného dňa modlitieb" v júni 2025 prečítal generálny tajomník SACC programové vyhlásenie. Mons. Sipuka stál vedľa neho a ako predseda SACC nesie za toto vyhlásenie inštitucionálnu zodpovednosť. SACC sa zaviazala "brániť práva a dôstojnosť marginalizovaných komunít vrátane utečencov a LGBTQI+ osôb".

Early signs from Leo’s first consistory suggest continuity with Pope Francis’ original pastoral vision

Pope Leo Walks the ‘Early Francis’ Path — With a New Approach

COMMENTARY: Early signs from Leo’s first consistory suggest continuity with Pope Francis’ original pastoral vision — more in what he said than in how he later governed.
The direction of the Leonine pontificate is still not yet clear, but the consistory of cardinals last week gave some further indications.
Pope Leo XIV intends to continue in the direction of his immediate predecessor, but he prefers to do as Pope Francis said, rather than what Pope Francis did.
In announcing the topics for the consistory last month, Leo chose four that were central to the Francis pontificate — Evangelii Gaudium, the reform of the Roman Curia, liturgy and synodality.
At the actual consistory, the cardinals chose to discuss the first and the last, about both of which Pope Leo has repeatedly expressed his commitment. Leo wants the missionary Church called for by Evangelii Gaudium, the charter document of Pope Francis, and agrees with Pope Francis that “synodality is what the Lord desires” for the Church …

Bl. Oderic of Pordenone - January 14

traditioninaction.org

Blessed Oderic of Pordenone or of Friuli – January 14

Biographical selection:
The Jesuits arrived in China at the end of the 16th century, but the first seeds of the Gospel had been planted there a long time before. There were significant signs that Catholicism was somehow established in China. Thus, in 1307 Pope Clement V named Giovanni de Montecorvino Archbishop of Peking and sent him to China with seven Franciscans. Among these missionaries was the Friar Oderic de Friuli, or Oderic of Pordenone.
Oderic was born at Villanoa, a hamlet now belonging to the town of Pordenone in Friuli in 1286. In his early years he entered the Franciscan Order.
Overview of the Imperial City complex
After various missionary assignments in Armenia, Media, Persia and India, he was sent to Peking, where he was hosted in the residence of the Grand Khan, and his group was eventually given access to the Khan himself. The Minor Friars were given a special place in the Imperial Palace and enjoyed the privilege of walking in front of the Emperor and giving him a …

The Worm-Filled Vatican Synodal Church – When popes and bishops go astray – Allah's Willing Executioners

The Catholic Church has had the great misfortune of having elected two modern popes who identify with Latin America.
Francis, who was Italian, identified as Argentinean and embraced Latin American liberation theology, a Marxist doctrine posing as concern for the poor and the “oppressed” while circumventing the Church’s primary mission concerning the salvation of souls.
Because cantankerous Francis liked to make a show of his humility, he opted to forgo living at the official papal residence, the Apostolic Palace, instead taking a so-called modest apartment in the Domus Sanctae Marthae, a building where cardinals stay during papal conclaves. This move enhanced the myth of the man’s humility although this fact was recently revealed to be a lie.
Catholic podcaster John-Henry Westen’s interview with Rome professor, theologian, and mariologist Dr. William Anthony Thomas, sheds light on Francis’s decision to not live in the Apostolic Palace as having nothing to do with humility but everything …

EU official plotted to ‘organise resistance’ against Hungary’s Orban, files show - The Grayzone

As the EU has sought to prolong the Ukraine proxy war, expropriate frozen Russian assets, and enlarge the bloc at any cost, Viktor Orban’s Hungary opposed it at every turn. Now, with his support teetering, leaked documents reveal a major EU official plotted a long-term covert campaign to oust him.
A senior European Union official has been secretly seeking to remove Hungarian President Viktor Orban since at least 2019, according to leaked documents reviewed by The Grayzone. The files show in January 2019, the EU’s International Coordinator for the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs, Marton Benedek, authored a “project proposal” aimed at “developing a permanent coordination forum to organise resistance against the Orban regime.” In addition to his role at the European border control agency, Benedek currently heads Brussels’ “cooperation” with Libya.

The impetus for Benedek’s plot was “an unprecedented set of anti-…

Gregory DiPippo: "One simply has to be willing to recognize the obvious truth, that the liturgical reform was not born out of Sacrosanctum Concilium. It was born out of the rejection of Sacrosanctum Concilium. The Church has paid an appallingly steep price for this rejection."

Cardinal Roche is Very, Very Worried

I am sure that by now, most of our readers have heard about the document circulated by His Eminence Arthur Cardinal Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, during the recent consistory of all the cardinals called by Pope Leo. It was published yesterday on the Substack of Diane Montagna, who is also, I am sure, well-known to our readers as one of the best reporters on Church-related matters in Rome. Within a few hours of its publication, I had a message from Peter saying that it needs a thorough fisking; this was done immediately, and very ably, as always, by Fr Zuhlsdorf, and likewise, by Dr Gavin Ashenden and Dr Joseph Shaw. I thank them all for sparing me the necessity of doing it myself, and strongly recommend their commentary to all our readers.
But there are a few things about the text which I found striking, and on which I make bold to offer some commentary of my own.
The document begins with the general premise that “the history of the Liturgy ... is the history …

There is no need for anyone to play GOD

This is the sort of thing that people don't hear because we are not allowed to hear it.
Just like his famous Munich speech in 2007. Instead they tried to spin it as if he were threatening. Just a short video which says a lot about this man.
The West continues to play God with other nations. #putin #russia #iran #west #trump

JANUARY 15 2026 THE GOSPEL
breski1
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 1,40-45.
A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean."
Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean."
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.
Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once.
Then he said to him, "See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them."
The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.

UK government rolls back key part of digital ID plans

UK government rolls back key part of digital ID plans

Ministers have rolled back plans for a central element of the proposed digital ID plans, leaving open the possibility that people will be able to use other forms of identification to prove their right to work.
This will mean that the IDs, announced to some controversy in September, will no longer be mandatory for working-age people, given that the only planned obligatory element was to prove the right to work in the UK.
While officials said this was not a U-turn, just a tweak before a detailed consultation on how the system will function, it will be viewed as the latest in a series of policy changes, including on business rates and inheritance tax for farmers.
When Keir Starmer announced the proposal for digital IDs by 2029 they were billed as voluntary, with the exception that they would be mandatory for people to show they were legally allowed to work.
This was portrayed by the prime minister as a main benefit of the plan. “Digital ID is an enormous opportunity for the UK,” he said …
