12/13/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The International Court of Justice has upheld Russia’s counterclaim, and suddenly the West realizes that “independent judiciary” is not a one-way street. For years, the ICJ was seen as a moral pillory, as long as it pointed in the right direction; but now that Ukraine’s actions are also being investigated, there is outrage. How can this be? After all, Ukraine is merely defending itself against the Russian attack. Just as Israel defends itself against Hamas aggression. After all, in May 2014, Russians immolated themselves in a trade union building in Odessa at their own request. It is the residents of Dombás who, for eleven years, have been the brazen victims of the Ukrainian army’s shelling of civilian targets. And this is precisely how public television manages to downplay these crimes. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) accepted Russia’s claim that Ukraine had committed genocide against the population of Donbas on December 5, by a …
The New German War Machine After World War II, Germany embraced pacifism as a form of atonement. Now the country is arming itself again.

The Bendlerblock is an imposing neoclassical building near the center of Berlin—severe and symmetrical, with a red-tile roof. Parts of the German military were based there in World War II, and it’s where officers who plotted to kill Hitler in 1944 were executed by firing squad. Now the complex houses Germany’s defense ministry, which oversees the armed forces. I went to the Bendlerblock this past summer to meet with German military officials and see how they’re responding to an aggressive Russia and a mercurial America. Two sergeants escorted me to the office of Lieutenant General Christian Freuding. Explore the January 2026 Issue Check out more from this issue and find …
The Door of Humility: Entering the Place Where Christ Was Born — Church of the Nativity Bethlehem—whose name in Hebrew means “House of Bread”—holds a place of profound significance in the Christian world. It was here that Mary and Joseph found refuge in a stable, and where Mary gave birth to Jesus, ‘the Bread of Life’. Over this sacred grotto, the Church of the Nativity was built, transforming a humble place of divine intervention into one of Christianity’s most treasured pilgrimage sites. The Church of the Nativity is among the oldest continuously functioning churches in existence. It was originally commissioned in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother, Saint Helena, who identified the grotto as the true site of Christ’s birth. Dedicated in 339 AD, the first basilica drew pilgrims from across the Roman Empire. Although the original structure was destroyed, Byzantine Emperor Justinian rebuilt a grander version in the 6th century, parts of which remain today …More
DECEMBER 14 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 11,2-11. When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?" Jesus said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me." As they were going off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine clothing? Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces. Then why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will …More
Ties to accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate exposed in NYT report nytimes.com/2025/12/11/briefing/the-world-of- … New reporting from the New York Times reveals Andrew Tate’s release from Romania—where he faced rape and human trafficking charges—may have involved powerful allies, including Barron Trump. Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter Megan Twohey joins to discuss. » Subscribe to MS NOW
But their legal problems haven’t gone away. The Romanian case is moving forward, and once it’s finished, the brothers will face charges of human trafficking and rape in Britain. And in the United States, The Times found, anti-trafficking agents at the Department of Homeland Security have been investigating the Tates for years. Riding Outrage to Money and Fame Andrew Tate found modest fame as a professional kickboxer in the 2010s, but as he tells it, he didn’t start making real money until he and his brother went into pornography. By 2015, the Tates had installed women in apartments and a hotel room in Britain, to perform live on webcams for paying customers. Andrew later described how the brothers romanced attractive women, coaxed them into the business and took most of the profits. “It’s not just about picking up girls,” Mr. Tate said in an interview posted to YouTube. “It’s about converting them into really loving you enough to moving in with you and working for you and giving you …More
The World of Andrew Tate nytimes.com/…025/12/10/us/andrew-tate-barron- … We look at the social media influencer accused of rape and human trafficking, who was freed from Romania after courting Trump’s allies and family members. Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, are paragons of the manosphere — influencers who say a man’s role is to dominate women. In 2023, Romanian prosecutors said the brothers had seduced women and then pressed them into performing for the Tates’ pornography business. Andrew was also accused of rape. They were barred from leaving the country while prosecutors built their case. Earlier this year, though, Romania lifted the travel restrictions. An investigation by my colleagues Megan Twohey and Isabella Kwai found that support from Trump administration officials had played a crucial role in the decision. “We’re massively back,” a grinning Tate said in a video he posted in February as the brothers flew to Florida by private jet. For years, Megan and Isabella …More
Conor McGregor, a mixed martial arts fighter, married his long-term partner, Dee Devlin, out of all places in Vatican City. The couple have been together for over 15 years and share four children. They wed at the Chiese di Santo Stefano degli Abissini on Friday, with more than 150 guests in attendance. The priest who officiated acknowledged McGregor’s controversial past, saying: “I’m aware of it, but what can I do?” The wedding comes shortly after McGregor lost a civil appeal related to the Nikita Hand case, in which a damages award against him was upheld.

Cardinal Cobo Did Not Attend Homosexual Event because of "Ultra" Catholics: Sister María Luisa Berzosa, a religious sister in civilian clothes from the Daughters of Jesus, explained in a talk on November 26 for the Diocese of Teruel why Cardinal José Cobo didn’t attend a homosexual propaganda meeting in Madrid at the end of August. “Some ultras are going to come and disrupt the event, and the message will not get across,” Cardinal Cobo reportedly said. The cardinal, she said, met with the organisers ahead of the event and made clear that his absence was “not because of you”,
María Luisa Berzosa: “Entonces el grupo de Crismón, con el anfitrión, fueron a hablar con el cardenal Cobo, para invitarle, para informarle y tal.” “Y entonces Cobo dijo, no voy a ir a la asamblea.” “pero no por vosotros, sino porque van a venir algunos ultras y van a reventar el acto y el mensaje no va a llegar.” “Entonces, ¿qué hizo?” “Escribió una carta, no sé si la habéis visto porque ha circulado, una carta preciosa de acogida desde el Evangelio, no una carta de compromiso, de saludito, no, no, no, una carta de definición de Evangelio.” “Entonces, yo la mandé inmediatamente a los grupos de Italia, traducidos, me ha corrido la carta y ha llegado a todo el mundo.” “Y no se ha reventado el acto, como decía él, porque entonces pierdes el mensaje.” “Y a veces en los tonos que utilizamos también, tengamos cuidado, no nos pongamos agresivos ni enfadados porque luego el mensaje no llega.” “[…] que no se pierda el mensaje, como decía Cobo.”
Canadian Bill Criminalizes Quoting Holy Scripture: In Canada, Bill C-9 would amend the Criminal Code by removing the religious exemption in Section 319(3)(b). The change could allow quoting Holy Scripture in good faith to be prosecuted as hate speech, with penalties of up to two years in prison. The proposal comes from the Liberal government. The Canadian Bishops' Conference has formally opposed the bill in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, warning of legal uncertainty for clergy, educators, and believers and a restriction of religious freedom.
