'Many begin well, but there are few who persevere.'
St. Jerome, Doctor and Father of the Church

'Saints' Quotes - Holy quotations for purification of the soul' - 'Fewness' - One Hundred and One Texts – pp. 6-8; part VI

'Cast a look round the world, just observe the manner of living, of speaking, and you will see immediately whether the evil of sin is known in the world or whether any attention is paid to it. Not to speak of those who live decidedly irreligious and wicked lives, how few are those who pass for good and who approach the sacraments are aware of the great evil that sin is, and the great ruin it brings with it. It must necessarily happen that, on account of this certainly culpable ignorance in which most men live, an enormous number will come to be damned, because no sin is pardoned which is not detested, and it is impossible to detest sin properly if it is not known as such.'
St. Joseph Cafasso
'There are many who arrive at the faith, but few that are lead into the heavenly kingdom.'

Parish in Charlotte Diocese Keeps Kneelers: The parish St Mark in Huntersville, NC, will keep its kneelers for Communion after all. The pastor had floated a “voluntary” removal following a presbyteral council meeting where Bishop Michael Martin requested they be taken away. Parishioners pushed back with firm, respectful petitions, and this week the pastor confirmed the kneelers will remain in use.

One church in the Diocese of Charlotte has announced they will NOT REMOVE KNEELERS following petitions from parishioners.

On November 6th, 2025, a glorious history came to an end: the chapel of the Ursulines in the city of Quebec was deconsecrated.
The Ursulines first arrived in New France in 1639, founded by Saint Mary of the Incarnation, and their monastery became the first institution for the teaching of women in all of North America (north of New Spain). They survived the bitter cold, famine, wars, the British conquest, the upheavals of the American Revolution, the two world wars in which Canada played so noble a part -- they survived everything, except Vatican II. Vatican II, and the huge part it played in the secular "Silent Revolution" that destroyed the Catholic soul of French Canada. With Vatican II, the habits and veils went away, and emptiness triumphed.
Some remaining Ursulines will remain in the city, but their chapel became too big in recent decades, and was deconsecrated. Tragic beyond belief, especially considering that female orders that kept Tradition have thrived.

Le 6 novembre 2025, la chapelle des Ursulines de Québec a été officiellement désacralisée, mettant fin à un long chapitre de leur histoire. Arrivées en Nouvelle-France en 1639 sous l’impulsion de sainte Marie de l’Incarnation, les Ursulines y avaient fondé la première institution d’éducation pour les femmes en Amérique du Nord, au nord de la Nouvelle-Espagne. Au fil de près de quatre siècles, la communauté a traversé épreuves, guerres et bouleversements politiques. Ces dernières décennies, la diminution du nombre de religieuses a rendu la chapelle trop vaste pour la communauté restante, menant à sa désacralisation. Quelques Ursulines demeurent toujours à Québec, et pour certains, cette fermeture symbolise les profondes transformations culturelles et religieuses du Québec contemporain.

« With Pope Francis, a process of arbitrary intervention in multiple institutions of the Catholic Church began.
Some have been forced to make statutory changes that no one requested, despite the fact that they were peacefully carrying out their spiritual and apostolic life within the Church.
Others were victims of the appointment of pontifical commissioners, an evil interventionist phenomenon that followers of these ecclesiastical matters refer to pejoratively as comisariamiento.
There are also institutions that have been victims of direct dissolution (forced extinction), with utter disregard for the future of hundreds or thousands of members of excellent conduct and good faith who were part of them; faithful who for decades of their lives lived their vocation happily... until Pope Francis' arrival on the papal throne.
In addition to this, there were closed seminaries, canceled ordinations, cloistered religious threatened in the essence of their very millennial charisms (with houses …More

Towards the Francis Dream of an Extermination of Opus Dei?

When Summorum Pontificum was promulgated, we had great hopes for a liturgical renewal of Opus Dei, the particular order founded by Josemaría Escrivá and later transformed in the only Personal Prelature, a novel figure created (for them, apparently) in the new Code of Canon Law.
We knew many priests of "The Work" loved the Traditional Mass, that Escrivá celebrated until the end of his life. But the order from above, as far as we could discern, was that the priests of Opus should, whenever possible, refrain from the Traditional Mass, and celebrate "the mass of the pope," that is, the novus ordo promulgated by Paul VI.
All this exaggeration of papal imitation did not serve Opus too well when Francis came. They never said or did anything against him, but, as we know, when Francis did not like something, the attitudes of others mattered little. And he didn't like Opus Dei, and that was that. So, he initiated a wholesale dismantling of the juridical structure of the Prelature, under the …

Where the hey are Cash & Barbie when ya' need 'em?!?

A father handed his son an old watch.
“It's a family piece,” he said. “But before I pass it down to you, I want you to do something. Take it to a jewelry store and see what they’ll offer.”
The son came back quickly.
“They said $150. They called it outdated and not worth much.”
“Alright,” the father nodded. “Now try a pawn shop.”
A few minutes later the son returned.
“They offered ten bucks. Said it’s basically junk.”
“Good,” the father said. “Now take it to the museum.”
This time the son stayed away longer. When he returned, his voice was almost a whisper: “They offered half a million dollars. They said it’s a rare piece, a treasure — a part of history. They want to display it as a valuable artifact.”
The father smiled gently.
“Do you see now, son? The same object can be worthless to some and priceless to others. I wanted you to feel this for yourself.”
“Your true value only shows in the right place — around people who actually recognize it.
Don’t waste your life trying to …More

Oprah, Geraldo, and a Psycho-Therapist: A Perfect Storm — Beyond These Stone Walls

Popular 1980s daytime television hosts like Oprah, Geraldo and others injected repressed memory into pop psychology bringing unjust harm to a multitude of innocents.
December 3, 2025 by Fr. Gordon MacRae and the False Memory Syndrome Foundation
Just as I was preparing to type this post, an alert reader informed me that my name is mentioned in a brief but brilliant article by William A. Donohue, PhD, President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. The article, “
What Happens When Truth Doesn’t Matter” appears in the November 2025 issue of the Catholic League Journal Catalyst. It tells a fascinating but disturbing story about a wealthy woman who had developed a best-selling memoir recounting her newly emerged memories of being raped by a middle school teacher 37 years earlier when she was 12. The story emerged with the help of a psychotherapist and the influence of a psychedelic drug called MDMA. The story propelled her memoir, promoted by Oprah Winfrey and other daytime …

WATCH: Leo Attempts To Calm Fears About Germany’s Radical ‘Synodal Way’

The synodal way is not unique to Germany. The whole church has celebrated. a synod and synodality over the past several years. There are some great similarities, but there are also some marked differences between how the Synodal Weg in Germany has been carried forward and how it… may well continue in the Universal Church. On the one hand, I would say there is room certainly for respect for inculturation. The fact that in one place synodality is lived in a certain way and in other places lived differently does not mean that there will be rupture or a fracture. I think that’s very important to remember. At the same time, I’m aware that many Catholics in Germany believe that certain aspects of the synodal way that has been celebrated in Germany up until now do not represent their own hope for the church or their own way of living church.
So there’s need for further dialogue and listening within Germany itself. so that no one’s voice is excluded, so that the voice of those who are more …

Based on another posted item on GloriaTV, Prevost is better at singing Feliz Navidad than quelling the faithful's fears on the German clown show. The 'synodal way' is a wayward departure from The Way.

The Emperor’s New Clothes
This story is a translation of a classic tale by Hans Christian Andersen. An Emperor of a city is fond of new clothes. Two imposter weavers enter his city and tell him that they can create a suit for him that would be invisible to people who are unfit to hold their office, or excessively simple. The Emperor orders this suit to be made for him. The weavers pretend to weave this suit but in truth weave nothing at all, and present this fake "invisible" suit to everyone in the city as if it really exists. The Emperor along with all the people who look upon the suit are troubled by what they cannot see, and whether they are inadequate or not. This causes everyone in the city, including the Emperor, to lie and say they can see the suit although in reality they cannot. The Emperor leads a parade through the city in his new suit even though he is actually naked. A child breaks everyone's delusion by shouting out "the Emperor is not wearing anything at all!"

The Catholic Church Needs Its Own COVID Inquiry

The Catholic Church Needs Its Own COVID Inquiry

The latest conclusions of the national Covid Inquiry have hit the headlines, and those who supported lockdown feel vindicated. An expert-led process costing £200 million has broadly endorsed the government’s approach, concluding that lockdown “was right” — and should, in fact, have happened sooner.
But the inquiry has also been labelled as a £200 million pound “I told you so” exercise; never willing to challenge the underlying assumptions of the lockdown strategy. Critics point to the fact that the inquiry uncritically accepted figures based on discredited modelling, and ignored real-world data such as the comparative case of Sweden. They believe that lockdowns not only couldn’t significantly change the mortality rate from an airborne virus, but that they cost lives, wrecked the economy as well as socially, educationally, and psychologically crippling a generation.
Later modules of the Covid Inquiry will give more opportunity for submissions on the effect of lockdown on Catholic …
