The bought and paid for counterfeit church with its minions have sold out again, again, and again on behalf of their father satan and on behalf of themselves. Gospel of Saint Mark 8:36 [uncorrupted Douay Rheims BIBLE]- For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
On 2 December 2025, Swiss Emanuel Brünisholz began serving a 10-day prison sentence. He had refused to pay a 3,000-franc fine imposed for a Facebook comment. In December 2022 he had written that if "LGBTQI people were exhumed in 200 years, only male or female skeletons would be found". He called everything else "a mental illness promoted through school curricula". The post was reported to police, and in August 2023 he confirmed authorship during questioning. He was prosecuted under Switzerland’s anti-discrimination law, with the court ruling that his comment amounted to public denigration of homosexuals and violated human dignity. The case has since fueled intense debate in Switzerland over free speech and the reach of hate-speech legislation.
AI image by Grok: France’s Macron, Ukraine’s Zelensky, Germany’s Merz. Euro-Globalists are no friends of America. It’s unsettling to hear people badmouthing you behind your back – but also enlightening. Yesterday, German paper Der Spiegel (behind a paywall) published a leaked call between Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders. And what we learn is the ugly reality of Euro-Globalist leaders deprecating US President Donald J. Trump and his team, in the interest of keeping Zelensky from engaging in the peace process. Politico reported: “French President Emmanuel Macron warned the U.S. could be about to ‘betray’ Ukraine, according to a leaked transcript of a call between European leaders strategizing about how to protect Kiev. The details of the phone call — which took place Monday and involved Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and others — were …
It’s not the USA that has betrayed Ukraine. It’s the ruling political class that has abused and exploited the citizenry. Zelensky and others have profited from the war. What a disgrace.
Police suspect Croatian nun injured herself: Croatian police believe that a Zagreb nun, Sister Marija Tatjana Zrno, 35, injured herself and falsely reported an attack. After a four-day investigation, police announced they will file a criminal complaint against the nun for falsely reporting a crime. Sister Zrno had claimed an unknown perpetrator stabbed her in the Malešnica neighborhood on November 28, after which she was treated for non-life-threatening abdominal injuries at the Sisters of Charity Hospital. Police say their investigation confirmed she bought the knife herself at a store in Zagreb and inflicted the wound on her own. She was discharged from the hospital on December 1. Police also refuted media claims that the attacker was a migrant who shouted “Allahu Akbar,” stating these reports were false.

I remember was it John Paul II who got rid of it? Or Paul VI. It was a very deliberate act to announce the Papacy wasn't really the head of the Church.
Looking at the future of the so-called Extraordinary Rite ("Old Mass"), Gänswein, according to the broadcaster, advocated overcoming the tensions and discord that arose within the Church after Pope Francis's Apostolic Exhortation "Traditionis Custodes" by returning to the line of Benedict XVI: "I consider Pope Benedict's wise arrangement to be the right way—and this path should be continued without difficulty, without restrictions." He could only hope that Pope Leo XIV would continue to resolve this thorny issue in this way.
In a Wednesday press release, the National Federation of Women’s Institutes announced that in light of a recent United Kingdom Supreme Court ruling, men who “identify” as women would no longer be considered for membership within the organization. Women’s Institutes CEO Melissa Green emphasized her reluctance to make this decision. “It is with the utmost regret and sadness that we must announce that, from April 2026, we can no longer offer formal membership to transgender women,” stated Green. “As an organisation that has proudly welcomed transgender women [sic] into our membership for more than 40 years, this is not something we would do unless we felt that we had no other choice.” The decision follows the UK Supreme Court’s April ruling, which confirmed unanimously that, under the law, the term “woman” refers to biological females. The decision drew considerable pushback from LGBT activists throughout the UK, despite the severe consequences faced by biological females of having …
Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Apostolic Nuncio to the Baltic States, has renewed his call for a peaceful approach to the Roman Rite. In a press release, the Swiss broadcaster K-TV announced that the full interview will air on Sunday. In it, Archbishop Gänswein comments on Pope Francis’ 2021 motu proprio Traditionis custodes. He argued that the Church should once again consider the pastoral approach adopted by Pope Benedict XVI in 'Summorum Pontificum': "I consider Pope Benedict’s wise regulation to be the right path — and this path should be continued without burdens or restrictions," said Monsignor Gänswein. He added that he hopes Pope Francis will continue the pacification of this thorny issue. Archbishop Gänswein also expressed his personal desire to see a formal beatification process opened for the late Pope Benedict XVI. #newsNyyjolwslt
Archbishop Gänswein made those statements in January 2023. I wonder if hestill feels the same way today. Perhaps he does, but "flexibility" has always been one of the strong suits of the Conciliarists.
“I consider Pope Benedict’s wise regulation to be the right path — and this path should be continued without burdens, without restrictions,” Gänswein said. He added that he hopes Pope Leo XIV will “continue the pacification of this thorny issue”
The Vatican on Thursday published the conclusions of its study commission on women deacons. The Commission rules out admitting women to the diaconate understood as a degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders, but without issuing a definitive judgment at this time. The report stresses repeatedly that the negative assessment is “strong” yet “does not permit formulating a definitive judgment,” unlike the case of priestly ordination. Submission of the Report to Pope Leo XIV On 18 September, Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi, President of the Study Commission on the Female Diaconate, submitted to Pope Leo XIV a detailed synthesis of the Commission’s work. The report reflects several years of historical, theological, and pastoral investigation. Historical Findings: A Non-Sacramental Ancient Practice The Commission revisited the findings of two earlier Vatican commissions. Historical research confirms that, in the early Church, the title deaconess appeared in different regions and periods, but with …More
Bozo woman. The Vatican takes two steps forward and one back. They want and may eventually get women "priests" in their phone so called church. The real Catholic Church will never have them.
The Vatican’s study commission on women deacons concluded that, based on current historical and theological evidence, the Church should not move forward with ordaining women to the diaconate, though the matter cannot yet be definitively settled. Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi’s report noted that while women were called deaconesses in various periods of Church history, their role did not correspond to the sacramental diaconate. The commission stated that the issue ultimately requires doctrinal discernment, not just historical analysis. Although divided on key theological points, members agreed that women’s access to new non-ordained ministries should be expanded.
Bishop Erik Varden: chastity is integrity, "to harmonize my carnal desires towards life in Christ" Convert of Lutheranism and Norwegian traps, one of his last books is about the virtue of chastity. Monsignor Erik Varden, OCS [Cistercian Order of the Cistercian Order of the Stense Of Observance] is bishop of Trondheim, Norway. Baptized in the Lutheran Church, which in Norway was the official Church until 2012, I grew up in a family without a very explicit Christian practice. My religious search began at the age of 14 or 15, caused by an inner thirst, fueled by literature and music. I was 17 years old when I first visited a monastery, a little by chance. Monastic life scared me a little because of its radicalism; at the same time, it fascinated me deeply. During my first year in Cambridge, a Marist priest, professor of Irish history, accompanied my conversion to Catholicism: we read together all the documents of the Second Vatican Council, an excellent preparation. I stayed at the university …More
DEC 3, 2025 I ALMOST DIED 17 YEARS AGO IN 2008, I'm currently taking medication. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2002. But in 2008 in September I ended up sick, after going to see a Doctor, I was sent home with a misdiagnose, tylenol and anti-biotics. The Doctor was negligent to run tests as I asked, she was a young female pregnant Doctor probably in her mid thirties. In the last week of september I had already lost 33 pounds in less than a month, high fever, body aches, unable to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme weakness, but I felt the presence of God, so much love, so much peace, although my pains where great. I was hungry but I was unable to eat anything anymore, not even a soup or broth would make it to my stomach without me vomiting. A brother and his family came to visit from a different state in the U.S., I was under my mom's care at that time as I had nobody to look after me. I had refused to go to the hospital, because for 3 consecutive times that same year (2008)…More
DECEMBER 5 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9,27-31. As Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they said to him. Then he touched their eyes and said, "Let it be done for you according to your faith." And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this." But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.
