Thank you for this. We will look forward to seeing this, but I am inspired to point out that the trailer script misquoted the uncorrupted / uncorruptible SCRIPTURE of GOD. All matters in GOD'S HOLY SCRIPTURES as HIS messages and TRUTH are corrupted today by design in every way possible and beyond recognition, and according to GOD,Charity is to be preferred before all other gifts as GOD wants people to understand- And now there remain, faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity. [1 Corinthians 13:13 uncorrupted Douay Rheims BIBLE]
Monsignor Ronald Hicks - Bishop of Joliet and soon to become the new Archbishop of New York - first met Pope Francis on 29 June 2015. After Francis’s death, he wrote about that meeting on Diocoliet.org on 5 May. Back then, he was standing in Saint Peter’s Basilica with Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich. Cupich had been installed as Archbishop of Chicago in November 2014. In January 2015, he appointed Rev. Hicks as his Vicar General and in 2018 his auxiliary bishop. “Now Is Your Chance” In June 2015, Archbishop Cupich asked his Vicar General in the Basilica, “Have you ever met the Pope?” When Hicks replied, “No,” Cupich grasped his arm and said with a smile, “Well, now is your chance.” He led Hicks briskly toward Pope Francis and introduced him in Italian, saying, “Holy Father, this is Ron Hicks, my Vicar General, and he speaks Spanish.” Francis turned to Hicks and began speaking in Spanish. Hicks recalls: “From that moment forward, whenever we encountered one another, we spoke …More
Bishop Hicks is not a sychophantic type of personality, he is his own man. You will find that out. Here in Joliet we've seen a reasonable man. When some bishops were quick to eliminate the Latin Mass such was not the case with Bishop Hicks. Things have not changed on that front. He supports parishes and priests instead of undermining them as in other places. He is a man of prudence and caution who loves his Catholic faith. New York will thrive under his guidance.
Pope Leo has named San Diego Auxiliary Ramon Bejarano (56) as Bishop of Monterey, CA. In February of this year. Bejarano led a protest against Trump’s deportation polices at a San Diego Courthouse, and has celebrated “All are Welcome” Masses for the LGBTQ community in San Diego.
The mounting attack on altar rails…renewing the iconoclasm of the 1970s, is a cause of deep concern... For this reason it behooves us to understand that there is absolutely no basis for a bishop to oppose the use or the construction of altar rails in churches. – Dr. Kwasniewski
LeoXIV poses for a photo with the children of the Pontifical Paul VI School in Castel Gandolfo after thanking them for their Christmas concert in the school gym.
It’s noteworthy that Hicks comes from the Bernardin lineage of the Chicago Church. He was ordained a priest in 1994 by the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, the legendary archbishop who championed the “consistent ethic of life” and shaped a generation of more progressive Catholic leadership.
“I’m proud of the bishops’ statement on immigration. We must protect our borders, but must uphold human dignity. We must honor due process. We must respect our immigrant brothers and sisters.” — Archbishop-designate Ron Hicks
Telizhenko claimed that Britain is preparing to replace Zelensky, and that other actors are involved. “The deep state itself” had “transferred from Washington to London today” and was “basically coordinating all the war-mongering process on Ukraine,” he stated. London and Brussels have “staged this whole situation to have a change of power,” with security guarantees “personally for Zelensky” forming part of the plan, Telizhenko added.
Pope Leo XIV is expected to appoint the handsome Bishop Ronald Hicks, 58, of Joliet, Illinois, as the 11th Archbishop of New York, replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan. The rumour was spread by the Spanish-language outlet ReligionDigital.org on December 15 and confirmed by several journalists citing “independent sources.” The appointed is expected for December 18. Liberal journalist Christopher Hale was told: “This is a Chicago priest, advocated by Cardinal Cupich, appointed by a Chicago pope.” Hale describes Bishop Hicks as “more progressive than Cardinal Dolan.” Spiritual hero is Óscar Romero When he began as Bishop of Joliet in 2020, he wore a small photo of Archbishop Óscar Romero of San Salvador on the lapel of his jacket. Romero is a hero of politicized liberation theology. Monsignor Hicks had served as a missionary in El Salvador (2005-2010). Ally of Cardinal Blase Cupich Monsignor Hicks’s relationship with the pro-homosexual Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich is both structural and …More
On the face of it, not encouraging. We must pray, for the Church's sake, New York's sake, and for the same of his own soul that he will be more open to the Holy Spirit than his mentor, the manipulative and conniving Cupich.
Yes and no! It appears these shots are part of the US Government DARPA program and are designed to integrate the recipients with the 5G grid system. As in the internet of bodies. I would not trust anyone who does not point out this fact.
Dr. Michael Yeadon, former VP of Pfizer, has recently stated that he concludes that mRNA jabs are "nerve agents" that are specifically engineered to achieve a high rate of injuries and fatalities.
McGurn said he has been cut off from Lai for the past three years. Catholic human rights and pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai was found guilty following his lengthy national security trial. Lai, 78, will be sentenced at a later date but faces up to life in prison. The Dec. 15 verdict “is important, and it’s not important,” Bill McGurn, Wall Street Journal columnist and godfather of Lai, told EWTN News Nightly. “It’s important because it’s part of the Hong Kong process, and everyone knew he would always be convicted. So it’s important because we have to get it out of the way,” McGurn said. “Jimmy cannot be released until he was convicted, and that’s why we had to wait all these years for the trial and then his conviction.” “On the other hand, it was always this charade … the world sees it for what it is. And so in Jimmy Lai’s world, it’s not really a big milestone because it’s phony. Everything about it is phony,” McGurn said. ‘The real work begins now’ While the verdict was …
