EWTN’s Great Leap Forward to EwtnNews

US broadcaster EWTN, a Catholic pre-internet media, has announced the rebranding of its online news operations. CatholicNewsAgency.com, its international affiliates and the Catholic Register newspaper will in future operate under a single global identity: EWTN News.
The unification of journalistic endeavours was detailed in a press release on 15 January.
The new umbrella platform EwtnNews.com has been built using the Sanity.io content management system.
It is currently available in English and will soon be expanded to include Spanish, followed by five additional languages. Traffic from CatholicNewsAgency.com will gradually be redirected to the new site, with the full transition scheduled for 24 January.

Schism in Germany, Leo XIV’s High-Stakes Game

(Photo credit: CNS)
ROME, 17 January 2026 Pope Leo XIV met Friday with the apostolic nuncio to Germany, Archbishop Nikola Eterović, amid reports that their talks focused on the German bishops’ planned vote to establish a permanent Synodal Conference that would grant laypeople decision-making authority equal to bishops, allow doctrinal changes by majority vote, and place Church finances under shared control.
Writing in Il Giornale this morning, Italian journalist Nico Spuntoni
said it is “inevitable” that the Pope’s meeting with his nuncio to Germany would be “dominated by the imminent vote of the German Bishops’ Conference on the Statutes of the Synodal Conference.”
The vote is scheduled for the bishops’ plenary assembly Feb. 19–22 in Augsburg.
It follows a Nov. 22 meeting in Fulda, where bishops and lay representatives unanimously approved the statutes for a permanent national synodal body composed of bishops, representatives of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK …

Cardinal Marx Ignored "Great Concern" of Benedict XVI Over German Synod

An unprecedented episode involving Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich occurred in 2021. It was published by Nico Spuntoni in IlGiornale.it on January 17.
Benedict XVI contacted his successor as Archbishop of Munich to express his “great concern” about the synodal process in Germany. He was convinced that this Synodal Path would cause harm and would end badly if it were not stopped.
Cardinal Marx ignored the appeal of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Additional information concerning the German Synod
On January 17, Pope Leo XIV received Archbishop Nikola Eterović, the Apostolic Nuncio to Berlin, to discuss the German bishops’ statute for a proposed Synodal Council. This body would start in 2026, be permanent and would grant lay members decision-making power.
Furthermore, Spuntoni reveals that Cardinal Marx called during the January 7–8 consistory for the introduction of female deacons. He is the principal architect of the German synodal process.

Benedict XVI warned Cardinal Marx in 2021 that Germany's Synodal Way “will do harm and end badly if it is not stopped.” Marx apparently ignored the warning.

Pedaling Away From “Illicit Religion”: China Turns Bicycle Races Into Propaganda Arenas

In Yiwu, Zhejiang, participants in a sports event are indoctrinated against the “xie jiao” while cycling up the hills.
by Qi Junzao
The Yivu race: anti-xie-jiao propaganda is not far away.

On December 14, the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang
province hosted what might have been a perfectly ordinary sporting event: a cycling hill‑climb invitational. One thousand riders gathered at the scenic Shili Taohua Wu area to test their stamina on the winding Yan’kou Lake track. But in China, no public gathering is too innocent to escape the heavy hand of propaganda.
Suddenly, the event was transformed into a “sports + anti-xie‑jiao extravaganza.”
For readers unfamiliar with the term, “xie jiao” is often translated as “cults” or “evil cults,” but this is not accurate. It designates in China since the Middle Ages “organizations spreading heterodox teachings,” and the powers that be decide which teachings are “heterodox.” Today, it is a deliberately broad and elastic label wielded by the Chinese …

Bp Strickland : "In every age, the Church is tempted to secure peace by softening what she teaches. And ... God raises up witnesses who refuse that bargain – not loudly, not theatrically, but steadfastly.

(Feast of St. Marcellus I, Pope and Martyr – January 16)
Brothers and Sisters,
There is a kind of suffering that comes from the world, and we expect it. The world has always resisted the light. But there is another kind of suffering – sharper, quieter, and harder to bear – when the wound comes from within, when rejection comes not from strangers, but from one’s own.
Holy Scripture says of Our Lord: “He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11).
And on this day, January 16, the traditional calendar places before us a Pope – St. Marcellus I – whose witness is marked by that same sorrowful pattern: not merely opposed by the enemies of the Church, but resisted amid turmoil and rebellion within the household of faith.
So the title today is simple. And heavy. Exiled by his own.
Pause for a moment and let that phrase do its work. Because it is not only history. It is a pattern. It is a temptation. It is a warning. And it is also – mysteriously – a path that God has …More

Valet to Three Popes Dies at 90

Angelo Gugel, the longtime papal valet who worked for three popes, has died in Rome at the age of 90, reports Vatican media.
Appointed in 1978 by John Paul I, the “33-day pope,” Gugel went on to serve John Paul II throughout his nearly 27-year pontificate. He retired at the beginning of the papacy of Benedict XVI, at the age of 70.
Known for his immaculate appearance, he preserved strict discretion even after retirement.
From the Gendarmerie to the Papal Household
Born on 27 April 1935 in Miane, in Italy’s Veneto region, Gugel joined the Vatican Gendarmerie at the age of 20.
After a serious bout of tuberculosis, he was transferred to the administration of the Vatican City State. Albino Luciani, his former bishop in Vittorio Veneto and a family acquaintance, personally chose him as valet after being elected pope.
When John Paul I died unexpectedly on 28 September 1978, Gugel was among the few people present in the papal bedroom.

One of the most tragic signs of the modern crisis in the Church is not what is being preached—but what is no longer preached.
Hell has vanished from the pulpit.
Once, the faithful were warned of eternal consequences. Today, they are reassured, entertained, and comforted—but rarely converted. Sermons speak of self-esteem, positivity, and vague love, while the Four Last Things—Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell—are ignored or softened to the point of irrelevance.
This silence is not mercy.
It is abandonment.

January 18 - Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear brothers and sisters, John the Baptist, in the passage from the Gospel of St. John the Apostle that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, January 18, helps us better understand the beautiful mission of us Christians in the world. First of all, we must "see," with the "eyes" of faith, God's love for us in the Risen Jesus, present through His Holy Catholic Church, in His Word, in His Sacraments, especially in the Holy Eucharist.
Regarding the encounter with God in His Word, Pope Leo in his catechesis on Wednesday, January 14, pointing to the DEI VERBUM, as one of the most beautiful and important documents of the Second Vatican Council, recalls that its purpose is to nourish the New Testament hope in the God who makes us children and calls us to become like Him even though in our fragile humanity. That's why the Pope invites us to cultivate friendship with God by listening to His Word and through liturgical, communal …More
