Today, Pope Leo XIV delivered a lengthy speech to the Italian bishops gathered in Assisi that was full of empty, pious words. He admitted that his guidelines for the Church "correspond to the perspectives that emerged during the synodal journey of the Church in Italy". However, the Italian Synod accepted homosexuality and female deacons in October. Pope Leo XIV commented: "It is now up to you, bishops, to outline the pastoral guidelines for the coming years." He hopes that a "synodal spirit" will develop. At the same time, he announced the merger of Italian dioceses. For Leo XIV, synodality requires communion among the bishops and the Pope, as well as "attentive listening and serious discernment of the requests that come from the people of God" [=media]. He wants to promote the greater participation of the people in the consultation process for the appointment of new bishops. Furthermore: "A synodal Church [...] needs to renew itself continually. We must avoid allowing inertia, even …More
I firmly reject synodality and the synodal church! I believe in God the Most Holy Trinity Father Son Holy Spirit, and in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. This synodal pope and his cardinals and bishops can go jump in the Tiber! The synodal church only exists in the demonic secularized imaginations of the heretics and apostates that have invaded Rome. To hell with them!
A large part of Radical Fidelity’s mission is to show, from as many angles as possible, that the sinister drivel flowing from the Vatican is not the real Catholic Faith. It is not even a slight deviation, or a watered-down version, nor is it the But a different religion, nonetheless. If I were merely some lunatic raving day after day about the superiority of Rugby over Iron Grid, or whether one political party is better than another, I could understand if people relegated my writings to the permanently deleted bin. They would be justified. But that is not the case. If you believe As I said, there are, of course, those who have read this far and whose eyes by now have glazed over due to the modernist spiritual fluoride they have been ingesting through the “spirit of Vatican II” and its diabolical culmination, namely Synodality. These people are probably staring blankly at their screens right now, wondering what I am on about. But for those who still have two brain cells dialoguing and …
Don’t ask the UK cops to stop or investigate actual crimes. Seriously, don’t even bother. According to Home Office data, only six per cent of victim-based crime resulted in a charge last year. So, yes, reports of domestic burglary may be down – but in half of the country, not a single burglary has been solved in the past three years. In more than 160 parts of London, the Met Police failed to solve a single neighbourhood crime over the same period. For some crimes, the police have stopped bothering altogether. Two months ago, the police announced they won’t investigate bike thefts at train stations if the bike has been left for more than two hours. It’s effectively waving the white flag to thieves. That’s why ‘crime’ is down. It’s why you also get the same fake ‘crime is down’ stats in New York City or Chicago. Crime isn’t down. Police simply aren’t responding, investigating, or taking reports, and in many cases, people are no longer bothering to call the police. Crime, under the …
On 16 November, Dutch Bishop Rob Mutsaerts wrote on his blog VitaminExp.blogspot.com that Cardinal Tucho Fernández has caused confusion regarding the Marian title Co-Redemptrix. Main points. - There is no truth that cannot be misunderstood. - Cardinal Fernández is mistaken to claim that it is no longer advisable to use the title 'Co-Redemptrix' for Mary. - If he is concerned that people will equate Mary with Christ, the problem lies with him, not Mary. - Christ’s position is so absolute that it is nonsensical to imagine anyone overshadowing him. Cooperation does not imply rivalry. - The fact that Mary cooperated in our redemption is not a human invention. It stems from God's decision to work through human mediation. - Every step in salvation history demonstrates that God acts through humanity, not despite it. - The Church refers to Mary as the Co-Redemptrix — a term not used lightly or rarely by saints and popes — meaning that she was involved in what Christ accomplished in a unique way. …More
German Bishop Stefan Oster has criticized the pro-LGBT guidelines for Catholic schools published by the German Bishops’ Conference (DBK). In a statement published on his personal website, Oster distanced himself from the DBK’s heterodox document on “sexual diversity” in Catholic schools. “Even though the cover of the brochure says ‘The German Bishops,’ the text does not speak on my behalf,” the Bishop of Passau wrote, distancing himself from “its content and its theological, philosophical, pedagogical, and developmental psychological substance.” For Oster, the document is part of a fundamental struggle over Christian anthropology. “The concept of humankind and the Church as sacraments is up for debate in this discussion,” he stated. He believes that “in its current form, the text produced by the Commission for Religious Education is well on the way to a desacralized understanding of humankind.” He stressed that the Catholic understanding of humanity must not be abandoned, but …
By Emily Mangiaracina A 25-year period of ‘peace among men’ indicated in the La Salette prophecy has come to pass, contrary to common belief, meaning we're likely closer to the Antichrist than many think. How close is the Antichrist? If you’re a Christian, you probably don’t think he’s very far off, as in hundreds of years away. Many think he is coming in our lifetime. But if you’re a Catholic familiar with the prophecy of Our Lady of La Salette, there’s a good chance you don’t think he’s imminent — because we haven’t yet had the 25 years of “peace” and “plentiful harvests.” Or have we? The opinion that we haven’t lived through those 25 years was recently shared by exorcist Father Chad Ripperger, a gem of the Church and a wealth of spiritual knowledge. Admittedly, when I heard he said this, I was perplexed. He is among the best and brightest of the Church. But the Christian faith of the world is so abysmal right now (U.S. faith levels have dropped to the lowest on record), and …More
Reasonable interpretation. But the conclusion is bullet proof: "We should without delay make it a top priority to live in a state of grace, and grow as close to God as possible in prayer and in our moral life. We must fervently pray for those not living in a state of grace, and for priests at risk of succumbing to the religious deception of the Antichrist. We must frequent the sacraments often, and call upon the intercession of our good Mother, Mediatrix of all Grace."
Cardinal Zuppi Acknowledges Fading of Church: "Christianity in Italy is coming to an end — but not what is Christian," Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, said on November 17 at the opening of the bishops’ plenary assembly. What is fading, he emphasized, is an order. Italian society is no longer "naturally Christian," this should not frighten priests, bishops, or local communities: "The end of Christianity does not mean the disappearance of faith," he said.

Hans Urs Balthazar and the Communio liberal theologians did theology with the objective error in the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston. They then repeated it at. Vatican Council II. They interpreted what was implicit as being explicit and then got away. Larry Chapp, like Bishop Robert Barron makes the same mistake today on Vatican Council II. It is schismatic . The popes and Magisteriuam before 1949 interpreted the baptism of desire as being invisible. This was common sense. It was common knowledge over the history of the Catholic Church. Bishop Barron and Larry Chapp are doing interviews with Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally , dishonestly and schismatically. –Lionel Andrades In defense of Hans Urs von Balthazar by Larry Chapp In defense of Hans Urs von Balthasar
The Swiss bishops on Monday published new guidelines outlining how they intend to handle the employment and relationships of priests, deacons, and lay pastoral workers. Main phrase: "We have decided not to publish a catalogue of rules and criteria". Ten Commandments No More They declare their acceptance of 'current lived realities' and the 'irregularities' of clergy and Church employees - without explicitly naming what this includes, though the implications are obvious: cohabitation, adultery, or homosexuality. The bishops write: "The teaching of Pope Francis has emphasized that people in partnerships and family forms that do not conform to Catholic tradition and doctrine embody values that deserve respect and recognition […]. The path of the Church is […] the path of mercy and inclusion." Bishops Accept Situation Ethics The guidelines indicate that it is no longer appropriate to exclude persistent sinners from paid pastoral roles. Personal situations should be evaluated in dialogue …More
The difference between Russia and Ukraine. Main post is Russian drone who avoids killing a man making the sign of the Cross. This is from Patrick Lancaster showing you how Ukraine kills elderly people holding a white flag and a small dog. A man making the sign of the Cross praying over the man who was just killed also being killed by a bomb from a Ukrainian drone. The video is very graphic. This has gone on since 2014.

A day or so ago, Patrick Lancaster had to go in and take his Mother in law to a safer place. She was beaten by Ukraine soldiers including her husband. They think she lost her mind because she refused to leave 15 stray dogs she was caring for. I think she just doesn't want to abandon them and leave them to die alone and starving. But they finally got her to leave. Not sure what happened to the dogs though if they were taken as well or left behind.
[BLESSED JAN VAN RUYSBROEK – XIII-XIV Century AD; Ruisbroek, Holy Roman Empire/ Groenendael, Holy Roman Empire; Mystic, Spiritual Writer, Doctor Divinus Ecstaticus] Chapter IV - OF THE MEN WHO PRACTISE A FALSE VACANCY “BEHOLD, such folk, by means of a onefold simplification and a natural tendency, are turned in upon the bareness of their own being; and therefore they think eternal life is and shall be nought else but an enduring state of beatitude, without distinction in order in holiness or in reward. Yea, all such are so deep in error that they say that the Persons shall pass away into the Godhead, and that nought else shall remain in eternity than the essential substance of the Godhead; and that all blessed spirits shall be so simply absorbed with God in the Essential Blessedness that nothing shall remain beside it, neither willing nor working, nor the discerning knowledge of any creature whatsoever. Behold, these men have gone astray into the vacant and blind simplicity of their …More
"They practise the liberty of the flesh, for they give to the body whatsoever it lusts after; and this they take to be natural freedom. They have unified themselves in a blind and dark vacancy of their own being; and there, they think, they are one with God, and they take this for the Eternal Blessedness."
Chaos in Number 10 as desperate Starmer dramatically confronts his own Cabinet over infighting and Budget leaks Floundering Keir Starmer read the riot act to Cabinet today after a disastrous bout of infighting and Budget leaks. The PM told his senior team that there must be no more 'distractions' - even though it was his allies who appeared to be briefing against ministers. At the weekly meeting, Sir Keir warned that the public were 'rightly impatient' with the government 'talking about ourselves' rather than working together. The intervention came after he was forced to insist he would lead Labour into the next election. The sense of turmoil at the heart of government has been growing after an extraordinary pre-emptive strike against Sir Keir's Cabinet rivals backfired. The premier was left defending his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney when Health Secretary Wes Streeting publicly attacked No10's 'toxic culture' and 'self-destruction'. It then emerged that Sir Keir and Chancellor …
“It was another glorious victory for the champions of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Yet Freemasonry had only killed a messenger; they were powerless against the message, and they knew it. Their days were numbered.” from Fatima in Twilight by Mark Fellows. Marmion Publications, Niagra Falls. 2003. Freemasons at Fatima in the 1920’s
I believe in the Biblical and Catholic Blessed Virgin Mary but not the apparition at Fatima. First reason is that Russia would legalize abortion in the next three years and the apparition never warned the world about abortion and still has not done so to this day. I find it impossible to believe the BVM would not have warned the world about 5 BILLION abortions in the next 100 years. Second, whatever the apparition said she said only to a 10-year old immature little girl. I does not seem true to me to leave the fate of the world in the hands of a little girl.
On 17 November, Pope Leo XIV delivered a UN propaganda video message addressed to a gathering at the Amazonian Museum in Belém, Brazil. It was an event held alongside the COP30 climate summit that is part of the broader Agenda 2030 of the United Nations. Leo XIV described creation as "crying out in floods, droughts, storms and relentless heat". He strongly endorsed international climate efforts, stating that the Paris Agreement "remains our strongest tool for protecting people and the planet". He insisted that the agreement itself is not the problem, but rather that "what is failing is the political will of some". However, the 2015 Agreement has an underlying agenda of promoting abortion, contraception and sterilisation as a means of population control and reducing human consumption of the Earth's resources. Following Leo XIV’s video message, the cardinals and bishops in attendance held up a rainbow-coloured fishing net. This net is a replica of one that was given to Pope Francis during …More
Again with the ignorant messages....when is the clergy going to wake up to the deceptions of these fake climate alarmists...do they believe in God or not..do they suppose. that we can save the earth....and that God has abandoned his creation ...Just look at how a tree can become full of leaves in spring, overnight...Can we do that? But the arrogance of the demons is always trying to lie knowing we will believe the lies...like Adam and Eve, your classic doubters
Bishop Athanasius Schneider published an article on DianeMontagna.substack.com about the Co-Redemptrix. Reprinted with permission. They Could Not Have Been Mistaken: The Voice of the Saints, Doctors, and the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church in Affirming Mary as “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces”. By Bishop Athanasius Schneider Over the course of time, the Ordinary Magisterium, together with numerous Saints and Doctors of the Church, have taught the Marian doctrines of Coredemption and Mediation, employing among other expressions the specific titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces.” Consequently, it cannot be maintained that the Ordinary Magisterium, along with Saints and Doctors of the Church over so many centuries, could have led the faithful astray through a consistently inappropriate use of these Marian titles. Moreover, throughout the ages, this Marian doctrine and the use of these titles have also expressed the sensus fidei—the sense of faith of the …More

With Jesus before him, Pilate asked the chief priests, ‘Shall I crucify your king?’ They replied ‘We have no king but Caesar.' Only a criminal saw Christ the King.
