Pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo recently held an off-the-record meeting with select journalists about the conflict surrounding the Valle de los Caídos (Cuelgamuros). Although excluded from the meeting, the Catholic outlet Infovaticana obtained the full audio and published excerpts on January 30. In the recording, Cardinal Cobo downplays the Valley’s importance to Madrid’s Church life and admits his archdiocese has no jurisdiction over the pontifical monastery. He describes internal Church discussions about the possible expulsion of the Benedictines and the government’s plan to “resignify” the site. Cardinal Cobo recounts a meeting with Church leaders and Benedictine prior Santiago Cantera, where they split the issue into two tracks: one concerning the monks, the other the government’s political project. He claims his aim was to prevent expulsion, but admits telling the Benedictines that if they were not removed, they would have to undergo a “process of conversion.” According to …More
I visited this enormous and edifying shrine twice. Removing monks or nuns out of monasteries and convents is NOT a positive move unless some gave sin and scandal has occurred.
In 2025, 82% of religious institutes in the USA had no members making perpetual professions. This is according to the January 2026 study, Women and Men Professing Perpetual Vows in Religious Life: The Profession Class of 2025. It was released by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University. The study is based on responses from 520 out of 723 superiors — a response rate of 72% among US religious institutes. Around 10% of institutes reported one perpetual profession, 8% reported between two and nine. Vocations are highly concentrated in a relatively small number of institutes. In total, the responding institutes reported 179 men and women taking perpetual vows in 2025, of whom 105 were men and 74 were women. This reverses a historic pattern. For most of US Catholic history, women's religious life has been numerically dominant. According to the report, 92% of respondents said they had been Catholic since birth. Around 69% were born in the United States. …More

2 Samuel 12:1-7a, 10-17 Nathan reminds David of the evil he has done. And David has concealed the evil within himself. David brings about his own fate. He has done evil, and his evil pursues him. Mark 4:35-41 Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” The apostles’ reaction is remarkable. They turn to Jesus. They are aware of God’s presence with them. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Lecture: Keynote Address of the 2025 Fatima Conference "And the Word Was Made Flesh..." This sixth lecture, the keynote address, is presented by Most Reverend Pierre Roy. KEYNOTE SPEAKER, Most Reverend Pierre Leroy: Most Rev. Pierre Roy was ordained on June 17, 2011, in the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). Having spent the first five years of his priesthood in Québec, he left the Society in 2016 due to a manifest will on the part of SSPX authorities to place themselves under the Novus Ordo hierarchy. Father Pierre Roy then devoted himself to ministering to traditional Catholics in Eastern Canada. On January 7, 2024, he was consecrated a bishop by the Most Reverend Rodrigo Ribeiro da Silva in Sao Paolo Brazil. Bishop Roy’s apostolate remains in Eastern Canada.

Tucker Carlson: "I did not consider that God was real or that you could talk to him or that he would answer. And it's only 56 years of rough and tumble living that have shown me that that is absolutely true and it is our only hope in the end... he's in charge, not us."
I LOVE this. Tucker Carlson, a person who is in the international spotlight, and he dares to say publicly, God's in charge, and we need to pray! Thanks.
Prayer is how we communicate to ALMIGHTY GOD Who is EVERYTHING to every person Whom GOD has created. Praying today in our Holy Rosary for Tucker Carlson to continue his journey toward the gift of ETERNAL LIFE.

Alex Pretti broke rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death, sources say From r/news Original article: Alex Pretti was in earlier confrontation with … Federal immigration officers have been collecting personal information about protesters and agitators in Minneapolis, sources told CNN – and had documented details about Alex Pretti before he was shot to death on Saturday. It is unclear how Pretti first came to the attention of federal authorities, but sources told CNN that about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said that “DHS law enforcement has no record of this incident.” A memo sent earlier this month to agents temporarily assigned to the city asked them to “capture all images, license plates, identifications, and general information on hotels, agitators, protestors, etc., so we can …More
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, as president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), stepped too far into political territory with his recent remarks about the upcoming constitutional referendum on justice. According to the author, Zuppi did not simply encourage citizens to vote responsibly, but referred to specific and highly contested elements of the reform, such as the separation of careers between judges and prosecutors, the role of the High Council of the Judiciary, and the balance of powers. The article claims that these references closely mirror the arguments used by opponents of the reform and therefore amount to an implicit political position. It criticizes the subsequent CEI statement meant to downplay the controversy, calling it unconvincing and insufficient to neutralize the political impact of Zuppi’s words. The piece also expresses concern that such interventions risk dividing the Church internally and blurring the line between pastoral guidance and political advocacy, citing …More
Zuppi - President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI): Elected for a five-year term in May 2022 When a prominent member of the Clergy speak out in Politics, it is also reflective of the Vatican's position. In today's uncertain times, he can be easily be labeled as a terrorist, and also the Vatican spokes hole of a Terrorist Organization. Zip it Zuppi, you Maricon Imbecile
A storm knocked down dozens of trees in several areas of the Sanctuary of Fátima. The activity and celebratory dynamics of the Sanctuary were not interrupted and are proceeding as usual. The strong winds that blew last night, with gusts reaching 140 kilometers per hour, knocked down dozens of trees in several areas of the Sanctuary of Fátima. The most affected were the cedars and pine trees in the avenues of the Prayer Enclosure, but trees also fell behind the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and in the Valinhos area. In terms of built heritage, Storm Kristin caused minor damage to some infrastructure, which is already being repaired. The Chapel of the Apparitions and the centuries-old holm oak tree suffered no damage. The Sanctuary continues its usual activities and access to the Prayer Enclosure is unobstructed. Since early morning, work has been underway to remove trees, clean up, and perform maintenance, which will continue for the next few days.
