"THE FAKE REFORM DESTROYING THE CHURCH!" LINK: youtube.com/watch?v=sue_hMQPzH0 LIFESITE Professor William A. Thomas delivers a sobering analysis of the moral and spiritual unraveling of the West, tracing its roots to humanity’s rebellion against God and the Church’s retreat from truth. He critiques the rise of doctrinal ambiguity, the silence on sin and hell, and the emotionalism driving today’s “synodal” experiments. Thomas warns that modernism, relativism, and Marxist ideologies are being repackaged as reform, while in reality they are eroding catechesis, doctrine, and Catholic identity. He urges a return to the clarity of apostolic teaching, devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, and the sacred liturgy.

During the deadly New Year’s Eve fire at a crowded ski bar in Crans-Montana, one survivor shared a powerful testimony. She said that a friend of hers had become trapped and could not find a way out.

" He later escaped alive. Although officials have not verified the details, the woman described what she witnessed as a miracle.
Une femme présente lors de l'incendie d'un bar de ski en Suisse affirme avoir été témoin d'un miracle : les flammes auraient complètement épargné son ami, qui s'était assis, une croix à la main, lorsqu'il s'est retrouvé piégé. « Un de mes amis ne pouvait pas sortir, alors il s'est simplement assis et a tenu sa croix dans sa main. Le feu l'a épargné. Les flammes ne l'ont pas touché. Elles l'entouraient, mais ne l'ont pas atteint. »

The Christmas Eve homily of Cardinal Louis Raphaël Sako of Baghdad, delivered at the Chaldean Cathedral of St. Joseph, sparked major controversy in Iraq. He said: “There is talk about normalization, and I hope from the new government that normalization in Iraq and with Iraq will take place. Iraq is the land of the prophets. Just as the Talmud was written in Babylon, the world should come to Iraq, not elsewhere.” The phrase was quickly interpreted by some Iraqi media and politicians as advocating normalization of relations with Israel. The Eucharistic celebration was attended by Iraq’s Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who later commented on the homily, saying: “In Iraq, we do not need normalization; rather, we need brotherhood, love, and coexistence”. He added that “normalization” in Iraq’s context was linked to an “occupying entity,” referring to Israel. Iraq’s parliament passed a law in 2022 that makes it a criminal offense to normalize ties with the Israeli state — …More
As the Archdiocese of Dubuque finalizes its "Journey in Faith" plan, Catholics in northeast Iowa are grappling with parish consolidations, fewer weekend Mass sites, and a shift toward evangelism amid priest shortages and declining attendance.
Pretty simple solution - Have Vespers Saturday night, and one Holy Mass on Sunday from 10:00am - 12:00 noon. Then have a pot luck lunch ( Like the Orthodox )
Cut the crap... the real problem is not enough priests - even with church attendance in single digits. Reduce Mass locations? That just means you "hope" people will care enough to travel to get to a N.O. Mass far from their locale so it will "look" full. But the decline is still happening! There is NO increase!!
On this day, January 3rd, the Church celebrates the Most Holy Name of Jesus! The celebration was established eight days after the birth of Christ, when he was circumcised and named Jesus. Despite its origins being as old as Christianity itself, the devotion to the name of Jesus developed primarily from the 12th and 13th centuries onwards. The first references to devotion to the "Holy Name" can be found in the texts of Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1109) and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1153). However, the great "Apostle" of devotion to the Most Holy Name of Jesus is Saint Bernardino of Siena (1444). This Franciscan priest traveled throughout Italy preaching devotion to the name of Jesus, often as a means of reconciling rival families and factions. Saint Bernardino used to preach holding a tablet with the monogram IHS, formed by the first three letters of the name of Jesus in Greek (Iota-Epsilon-Sigma). Later, the abbreviation was also interpreted as the Latin acronym "Jesus Hominum Salvator …More
