Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, 79, said that during the consistory on 7-8 January, he did not hear anyone say, "Oh, I’m sorry we didn’t discuss the liturgy". He told the Substack.com-account The Pillar on 13 January, that what Leo XIV will do with the Mass of the Roman Rite is "beyond my pay grade": "I can’t speculate about how he intends to approach the situation. But I can’t imagine a pope who wouldn’t want to bring peace to the Church. I think every pope since St Peter would want that," the cardinal speculated. In general, he found the consistory a "healthy" exercise. "As soon as we got together and realised that the first thing we would do was spend the whole afternoon discussing it, we realised we were already at work. People immediately switched into gear. All three sessions were good." "Not Possible Without Pope Francis" When asked if the lack of collegiality among the cardinals wasn’t the elephant in the room under Francis, Cardinal Czerny denied it, saying: “No, quite the …More
A continuation of the Francis Agenda by pope Leo means the full acceptance of this, and to be in communion with this Spirit. What proactive measures has Leo enacted to rid the Church of the Unholy Spirit? NON, by continual open dialogue, it is the Agenda for this to be fully welcomed, and taught in today's Seminaries.
MAGA Cult Slayer - United States Marine vet was beaten by ICE. “They tried to break my a... United States Marine vet was beaten by ICE. “They tried to break my ankle, and when I screamed, the ICE agent said, yeah, I bet you like that, don’t you?“ x.com/MAGACult2/status/2010914533284762049/video/1
This has nothing to do with MAGA. She was interfering with law enforcement. She was not engaged in a legitimate protest. And what was she protesting? The removal of criminal aliens, and anyone here illegally are criminals. Reimmigration is a necessity and this woman is on the side of national suicide.
Not really that surprising. The bishops "cried" about their foreign-born priests having to wait to get religious worker visas {a delay that was a Biden admin. issue - probably since they HATE Catholicism] and Trump heard their pleas and fixed it. It would be the height of stupidity if the USCCB were ungrateful. Plus they want the grant money restored so... Of course, the woke liberal "social justice" warriors are livid = ORANGE MAN BAD & NO NEGOTIATION!!!

Says he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan Congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital. Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.” During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals. “I may do that for Greenland too,” Trump said. “I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” he said. He had not previously mentioned using tariffs …More

Why Suddenly Paused Iran Strikes, Was Netanyahu Afraid Of Khamenei’s Next Big Move In Israel? U.S. outlets Axios and The New York Times report that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally asked President Donald Trump to “postpone” planned strikes on Iran so Israel could first reinforce its missile defenses and better prepare for potential Iranian retaliation. These reports say Israeli officials also warned that limited U.S. attacks on Iranian military sites might fail to destabilize the regime and instead trigger a wider regional war, even as sources cited by Axios describe Washington “reassessing” while insisting the Iranian regime will eventually fall unless Ayatollah Khamenei speaks directly to Trump. Trump’s tone toward Iran has since softened: on January 14 he told reporters he’d received assurances that killings and executions had stopped, and The Times of Israel noted this shift came right after a phone call with Netanyahu, while the White House later confirmed …More

Asked about the Mass in the Roman rite, Cardinal Jaime Spengler of Porto Alegre, Brazil, said that “the river doesn’t flow backwards.” He spoke with VidaNuevaDigital.com on January 16. The cardinal is president of the bishops’ conferences of Brazil and Latin America (CELAM). His main statement echoes the historically weak ideas promoted by Cardinal Roche at the consistory on January 7-8. Cardinal Spengler said, “Throughout history, the liturgy has undergone various reforms. The Second Vatican Council represents an enormous effort to recover fundamental elements of Catholic liturgical celebration. Nostalgic proposals do not help to promote what the Council identified as essential for the liturgy.” Furthermore, Cardinal Spengler offered a pointless definition of the Eucharist: “Liturgy cannot be understood simply as an expression of religious practice; above all, it is a vigorous expression of a lived experience of faith, both personal and communal - an experience of encounter with …More
Rome Seals Jubilee; Hope Endures Beyond Doors | Shalom World News As the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope has come to a close on 6 January 2026, a solemn ceremony took place on Tuesday night, January 13, as the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore was sealed in a ceremonial rite led by Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, with Monsignor Ľubomír Welnitz and Fr Diego Giovanni Ravelli in attendance.

PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY JUST SAID IT OUT LOUD “I believe the progress that we have made and the partnership (with China) sets us up well for the New… World… Order.” Not rushed. Not off the cuff. He pauses between every word - New… World… Order - like he wants it to land. This wasn’t code. This wasn’t a slip. This was said out loud, on camera, deliberately.
The Christian Post asked OnlyFans star Lily Phillips about reports that following her baptism, she was promoting an upcoming orgy. She told them: "Even though I am Christian, I don’t plan on quitting my job anytime soon. I understand that my faith and my work don’t fit neatly into everyone’s expectations of what a Christian ‘should’ look like. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting, praying, and being honest with myself about both." Phillips said that her relationship with God is "personal, ongoing, and rooted in grace, not in public approval or moral perfection." “Christianity, for me, isn’t about pretending I have everything figured out or meeting other people’s standards," she said. "It’s about sincerity, growth, and trusting that God meets people where they are, not where others think they should be. You don’t have to agree with my choices, but questioning my faith or worth isn’t something I’m open to.”
Absolute FRAUD! She was "baptized" in some Protestant sect, but won't quit her p*rn "job." Right... For her sake, I pray that her baptism was invalid [the Church does grant validity to some baptism done by non-Catholics] so she can escape the sin of sacrilege! She has plenty to repent of already!
" Help me, dear sister, succour me in the frightful torture which I endure. Oh ! if you knew the severity of the Judge who desires all our love, what atonement He demands for the least faults before admitting us to the reward ! If you knew how pure we must be to see the face of God ! Pray ! pray, and do penance for me, who can no longer help myself."
“CHAPTER XVII ~ Pains of Purgatory — Blessed Quinziani — The Emperor Maurice. In the Life of Blessed Stephana Quinziani, a Dominican nun, mention is made of a sister named Paula, who died at the convent of Mantua, after a long life of eminent virtue. The body was carried to the church and placed uncovered in the choir among the Religious. During the recitation of the Office, Blessed Quinziani knelt near the bier, recommending to God the deceased Religious, who had been very dear to her. Suddenly the latter let fall the crucifix, which had been placed between her hands, extended the left arm, seized the right hand of Blessed Quinziani, and pressed it tightly, as a poor patient in the burning heat of fever would ask the assistance of a friend. She held it for a considerable time, and then, withdrawing her arm, sank back lifeless into the coffin. The Religious, astonished at this prodigy, asked an explanation of the Blessed Sister. She replied that, whilst the deceased pressed her hand,…More
