It will always be facts, not gossip, that define our identity. Sunday, December 14, Third Sunday of Advent Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, in the passage from the Gospel of Matthew that we're going to listen to on December 14, third Sunday of Advent, helps us understand that what defines us is never our words, but our actions. In fact, when questioned by John's disciples about his identity, Jesus invites his interlocutors to pay attention to his works. Indeed, following the example of Jesus, even for us, as children of God, it is not, first of all our words that count, but our actions; not our ideas, but reality; not what we think, but the truth; not our will, but the will of God! Jesus' warning remains, therefore, the sole and definitive criterion of our belonging to God's family: "Who is my Mother, and who are my brothers? said Jesus and added: Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, sister, and Mother..." (See: Mark 3:20-35)

Sarah Mullally, the first woman appointed "Archbishop of Canterbury" of the Church of England, has been accused of mishandling an abuse case. She is due to take office on January 28. The allegation centers on her decision to send a confidential email about abuse claims directly to the accused priest, bypassing formal disciplinary procedures. The case involves a victim known as “Survivor N,” who filed a formal complaint in 2020 and reportedly received no response. Mullally has since acknowledged that "Survivor N" was not given adequate support by the Church.
Sarah Mullally, prima donna eletta alla guida della Chiesa anglicana con la carica di arcivescovo di Canterbury in risposta agli scandali sessuali di pedofilia e di accuse d'insabbiamenti che hanno investito nel Regno Unito non pochi presuli uomini, è finita sotto accusa per aver gestito in modo improprio un caso di abusi...
Louis IX There are two kinds of Catholics. Those who are modernist and ignorant. And then the Catholics who think they know it all and quote only some parts of the Bible. But never ever mention.... Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it "not" to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. Why does Trump arrest mostly those who work the farms?

Indeed, anyone who supports lawlessness by Catholics can be considered to be in a deplorable state. The next time I visit Spain I suppose I should refuse to leave, join a gang, get on benefits and complain when I should rightly be thrown out on my keister.

"By uniting themselves to the divine will, the saints have enjoyed paradise by anticipation in this life. Accustoming themselves to receive all things from the hands of God, says St. Dorotheus, the men of old maintained continual serenity of soul. St. Mary Magdalene of Pazzi derived such consolation at hearing the words “will of God,” that she usually fell into an ecstasy of love."

Acting according to this pattern, one not only becomes holy but also enjoys perpetual serenity in this life. Alphonsus the Great, King of Aragon, being asked one day whom he considered the happiest person in the world, answered: “He who abandons himself to the will of God and accepts all things, prosperous and adverse, as coming from his hands.’’ “To those that love God, all things work together unto good.” Those who love God are always happy, because their whole happiness is to fulfill, even in adversity, the will of God. Afflictions do not mar their serenity, because by accepting misfortune, they know they give pleasure to their beloved Lord: “Whatever shall befall the …More
Jim Ferguson - WHEN THE TRUTH IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR THE POWERFUL—THIS IS WHAT HAPPE... WHEN THE TRUTH IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR THE POWERFUL—THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS Ex-CIA contractor Patrick Byrne has just made extraordinary allegations—claims so explosive that most media outlets will never touch them. In a discussion with Alex Jones, Byrne stated that senior intelligence channels are warning that Candace Owens is being targeted for retaliation after exposing powerful networks operating behind the political façade of Europe. Byrne insists that there is more beneath the surface—global agendas, elite protection systems, and institutional panic when scrutiny comes too close. Whether every detail proves true or not, one point from Byrne stands unchallenged: When someone questions narratives that protect power structures, they are instantly attacked—not on facts, but with intimidation, legal warfare, and coordinated smear campaigns. And why is this happening now? Because Owens openly challenged …More
That verse is totally omitted in the Novus Ordo bible Another stumbling block for Orthodox Unification - which they DO have in their bible. The Novus Ordo would rather get cozy with the devil, then to starve him out.
"Intermittent fasting" is just modern lingo for "not eating between meals. Our gluttonous culture demands food all the time. In the past, most people "fasted" from supper in the evening until breakfast {literally Break fast} in the morning. Some other thoughts: dieting is NOT fasting - something I tell my vegan friends at Lent. Plus it's ironic that people who have NO PROBLEM abstaining from food & drink under doctor's orders prior to a surgery balk at the easy Eucharistic fast prior to receiving Communion.

Berlin zahlt 900 Millionen Euro für Flüchtlingsunterkünfte Berlin steht kurz davor, knapp eine Milliarde Euro zur Unterbringung von Flüchtlingen auszugeben. Das geht aus einer Berechnung des Senats hervor, die dem „Tagesspiegel“ vorliegt. Demnach beliefen sich die Kosten für die Unterkünfte im Jahr 2024 auf 883 Millionen Euro – 2020 waren es noch 312 Millionen Euro. Das entspricht einem Anstieg um gut 150%. Besonders brisant sind die Kosten für das Flüchtlingsheim in Tegel: Auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen Flughafens waren Tausende Menschen untergebracht, derzeit sind es noch etwa 1500. Allein im Jahr 2023 – als der Kostenanstieg in Berlin Fahrt aufnahm – verschlang die Unterkunft 298 Millionen Euro, im vergangenen Jahr waren es dann immerhin noch 260 Millionen Euro. Zu der Zeit waren dort etwa 5000 Flüchtlinge untergebracht. Abonniert @satellit_de!
Yet, they keep on pushing it! My local "hospital" keeps bothering me to "get caught up" on my shots. They must have a huge incentive to continue to "offer me the opportunity!"
This is good news for the people in Ukraine and Russia. But not so good for nato and US and anyone else involved. While Russia is winning, they are lying more and more about how Ukraine is winning. Like Ursula the liar. They will step it up more than ever now. And we need to step up prayers. Trump says he is not giving Ukraine money, and yet a table full of $100 bills given to traitors and those who are trying to destroy Russia and Ukraine.
Also, the EU leadership under Ursula von der Leyen plans to declare a state of emergency to override national vetoes against accessing Russian assets frozen at Euroclear and to transfer a further €210 billion to Ukraine.
