French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing ahead with his plan to replace historic windows at Notre Dame despite public opposition. In December, the Grand Palais in Paris showcased the window designs of modern artist Claire Tabouret, whose new stain-glassed windows are scheduled to replace the Gothic designs at Notre-Dame Cathedral in 2026 under the direction of Macron. “The president of the republic has decided on his own, without any regard for the heritage law or Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, to replace the stained glass windows,” a petition launched by La Tribune de l’Art against the change states. “How can it be justified to restore stained glass windows that survived the disaster and then immediately remove them?” it questioned. “Who gave the head of state a mandate to alter a cathedral that does not belong to him, but to everyone?” “Contemporary stained glass windows have their place in ancient architecture when the original ones have disappeared,” the petition asserted …
I can't find one link from the SSPX showing the SSPX Chapels in Russia. Something is not right. I love the SSPX but they are not being honest when it comes to Russia. Not only that, but trying to search for a Chapel in Russia is impossible. They don't list even one, when I know there is at least two of them. Why don't they mention even one Chapel in Russia? Josef Schuztman has mentioned the one he attends and I believe another one in Russia. This is from a Russian site where they mention where the SSPX Chapels are. They list at least 3 in different cities. But not how many there are. The largest number of Brotherhood followers are concentrated in France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The Superior General of the Brotherhood is the Italian priest Davide Pagliarani, who succeeded Bishop Bernard Fellay. The Brotherhood's chapels of St. Pius X are also located in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Minsk. Священническое братство святого Пия X — Википедия
Three Hong Kong judges found Jimmy Lai, 78, guilty under the National Security Law. Hong Kong media tycoon and Catholic convert Jimmy Lai, 78, was found guilty on Monday of two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and one count of sedition under a Beijing-imposed national security law. The founder of the now-defunct newspaper Apple Daily, had pleaded not guilty to all charges. The offences carry a potential life sentence, with sentencing expected at a later date. Lai has been in custody since 2020. The trial was heard by a panel of three judges without a jury, as permitted under the national security law, and has attracted worldwide attention. Critics argue that the case exemplifies the erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong. The United Kingdom has strongly criticised the verdict. In a statement posted on X, Britain’s Foreign Office described the prosecution as politically motivated and said that Lai had been targeted for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression. …More
Jimmy Lai is expected to receive a life sentence for ‘sedition,’ and the 78-year-old is reportedly at ‘serious risk of dying in prison’ after years of enduring solitary confinement in horrific conditions.
There is no doubt that China and Russia are together and are enemies of the free world. The United States is trying to split this alliance of Russia and China.
Yes they most certainly are our enemies. They frighten the west and US because they are surpassing everyone in technology, wealth and everything else. So they must be stopped. US wants to remain king of the hill. Watch them all as they fall and roll down and take us with them.

VACCINE INC. by every standard have been exposed through multitudes of evidence to be of the most egregious and reprehensible deceptions which ensnare the multitudes of populations world-wide thoroughly seducing people by means of psychological mind manipulations which are dangerous because vaccines harm and hurt the health of so many people and are known to cause deaths even though the evidence is denied by VACCINE INC. . . The truth about the VACCINE Industry amounts to what should be assessed as VACCCINE crimes against humanity.
This is probably the most valuable chalice in the Treasury of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It was commissioned in Rome by Pope Pius IX to be used in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on the day the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined, 8 December 1854. This chalice enchants the eyes of those who see it, with the splendour of almost 700 diamonds adorning it.

Before the Hamas war against Israel, the election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City, and yesterday’s shooting attack in Australia, I associated Hanukkah with triumph rather than despair. The eight-day festival, which began at sundown on December 14, was an opportunity to recognize Jewish perseverance and share Jewish light. This year is different. While menorahs are ordinarily displayed outdoors in celebration, during times of danger the Talmud suggests kindling Hanukkah lights discreetly. Even without overt peril, mounting hostility toward Jews draws me inward and homeward. I prefer to stay indoors with my family, where the somber hymn of my childhood will echo more poignantly than the cheerful holiday prayer. Like other winter holidays, Hanukkah occurs when daylight is lacking and darkness evokes faith. More than a solstice observance, however, Hanukkah is a celebration of Jewish distinctiveness and daring. In the second century B.C., enlightened Greeks sought to extinguish …
