YOU - the supporters and friends of Gloria.tv - have achieved something extraordinary. What we all could scarcely have imagined a decade ago has become a reality. Gloria.tv has grown into a fully functional, multilingual social network for Catholics worldwide - with features such as processing media, sharing news, translation, subtitling, summarisation, video streaming, chat, etc. Meanwhile, media outlets have declined in worrying ways, including traditional print and satellite TV, and most recently even editorial websites (including legacy media such as CNN and state outlets). In this challenging environment, the development of social media technology by Gloria.tv, which enables users to speak, share, and evangelise for themselves, has proven essential. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of the donors. We cannot thank you enough. Please continue to support Gloria.tv. Together, let's build this platform for all those seeking Christian content and community. You …More
"There are three forms of the virtue of charity: the first is that of spouses, the second that of widows, and the third that of virgins. We do not praise any one of them to the exclusion of others...This is what makes for the richness of the discipline of the Church." St. Ambrose, De vidius "What is more pleasing than a psalm? David expresses it well: "Praise the Lord, for a psalm is good: let there be praise of our God with gladness and grace!"." St. Ambrose, Enarrationes in Psalmos "This Creed is the spiritual seal, our heart's meditation and an ever-present guardian; it is, unquestionably, the treasure of our soul." St. Ambrose, Explanatio symboli "For life is to be with Christ; where Christ is, there is life, there is the kingdom." St. Ambrose, Expositio evangeli secundum Lucam "That man is rightly called a king who makes his own body an obedient subject and, by governing himself with suitable rigor, refuses to let his passions breed rebellion in his soul, for he exercises a …More
This post is for my fellow Filipinos who love our Catholic traditions. Let us talk about one of the most beautiful customs we have during Advent. Simbang Gabi, the Misa de Aguinaldo. These dawn Masses are not just cultural events. They are a real Catholic treasure. For those who might not know, Simbang Gabi is a nine day novena of dawn Masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It starts at dawn on December 16 and leads us right up to the dawn of December 24. In the traditional Roman Rite this practice comes from the ancient Rorate Caeli Masses. These were candlelit Marian Masses prayed before sunrise. The church is dark, the candles are glowing, and the priest begins with the words of Isaiah calling for the heavens to drop down the dew of the Savior. That is the real origin of Simbang Gabi. Now as we get ready to begin these nine days, we need to get something straight. Simbang Gabi is not a Catholic version of a wish spell. It is not a superstition. It is not a guarantee that if you …More
7. December 2025 7. December 2025 12/07/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. British TV personality Piers Morgan has sincerely apologized to Novak Djokovic. Because Djokovic refused to be vaccinated against Covid, Morgan called the tennis star a “liar” and a “cheater.” Three years later, he apologizes. At a time when tennis players and other athletes were buying vaccination certificates, the greatest active tennis player remained openly unvaccinated. Novak Djokovic faced media scrutiny and suspension from competition, but maintained his perfectly logical stance: he didn’t need a Covid vaccination. Quote from Friday’s article on tkp.at: Apology of the Year.Source. Novak Djokovic is not only the best tennis player in the world, he is also a man who did not give in to the pressure and preferred to forgo the championship rather than have an experimental gene-editing agent injected into him. Novak Djokovic is from Serbia. As a twelve-year-old, he experienced the full harshness of Western …

Bishop Schneider defies Traditionis Custodes: During his current stay in Brazil, Bishop Athanasius Schneider celebrated Mass in the Roman Rite at the Cathedral of Nossa Senhora das Dores in Caruaru, Pernambuco. Bishop José Ruy Gonçalves Lopes, 58, of Caruaru was present at the Mass. According to Traditionis Custodes (2021) a diocesan bishop cannot authorize the public celebration of the 1962 Missal in his cathedral without the Holy See, which is practically always denied.

I would be happy to applaud Bishop Schneider if I believed his celebration of the TLM in defiance of the Modernists’ TC was a step in the direction of rejecting the Novus Ordo Mass and the false teaching of Vatican II, but doubt very much that it is. He’s like so many who genuinely sense that they should be living very different lives but lack the spiritual fortitude to make the change—most likely out of fear of reaction from his confreres and personal supporters Still, I pray that I’m wrong, because a shift on his part would greatly please God and encourage many others to follow.
