In December, the Family Pastoral Service of the Diocese of Chiavari, Italy, published a booklet titled Non c’è un amore più grande (“There Is No Greater Love”). The diocese is run by Bishop Giampio Devasini. The publication presents a collection of autobiographical “Christian testimonies” of homosexuals and adulterers. Among the homosexuals are Marco and Michele: "We have been together since 2001." The two homosexuals are increasingly integrated into parish life, including participation in the parish choir and diocesan pastoral activities: "What was previously set aside because it was uncomfortable and difficult to testify to has now become a reason for commitment, to bring our experiences to others." They blame their lifestyle on God: "I believe that the ultimate goal of our work is to break down those walls of division that have always hindered the active participation of people belonging to the broad sphere of homoaffectivity in the life of the Church, under the love of the one …More
How a Catholic diocese can boast about open, serial and non-repentant sinners being witnesses to the faith is a non sequitur. Not only is it illogical, but it is also scandalous and sinful. No wonder people are fleeing the Catholic Church in droves.

DEC 2025 - A motion for impeachment is taking place already, congresswoman Ramirez asking Kristi Noem to reconsider resigning before she's processed and taken to jail for lying to congress and abusing power as well as for spending taxpayer's money and government resources to do all criminal acts. This is not about blue or red, democrat or republican, far left or far right, this is about justice, not overlooking at facts of abuses brought by authoritarianism, and racism.

“I am a consecrated person; I gave my life to God, so my life doesn’t belong to me,” Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, told NCRegister.com on December 12 about his offer to exchange himself for hostages in 2023. His flock includes about 190,000 Christians in Israel, 45,000 in the West Bank, and 500 in Gaza. Palestinian Christians in the West Bank, including Bethlehem, have been severely affected by the Gaza war, as tourism has nearly collapsed and work permits to Israel have been suspended. “This created a very problematic situation from the economic point of view,” the Cardinal said. The conflict has also intensified tensions between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, including settler attacks on Christian Palestinian communities. Cardinal Pizzaballa described the situation as “chaotic and very problematic,” adding: “What is scary for the people is that you don’t know how, when this will finish.” Despite this, he sees the U.S.-brokered ceasefire …More
There are many things to like and admire about this man. But, as in the American War of Northern Aggression (aka "the Civil War"), the battle for the Faith that continues and remains will see brother pitted against brother, friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor. There is no turning back from the battle between the Faith of 20 centuries and the counterfeit conciliar "church" of the past 60 years.+ Pizzaballa must see that if he doesn't get God right (and the mitered devotees of the past 60 years have gotten Him very wrong), all of humanity suffers.
If the Church tells you to sin, you do not have to obey. Instead of acting like a mother, the V2 church is feeding her children poison. Throughout the years some additions were made to the TLM, but nothing that was as dastardly as the reform of the Mass under Pope Paul VI.
Beata Vergine del Patrocinio - December 14th, 2025 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 03:23 True Devotion to Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree
BEATA VERGINE DEL PATROCINIO Faenza – 14 dicembre 1954 – Incoronazione Una donna della Famiglia Baldi entra nel convento benedettino camaldolese con il nome di suor Francesca portando con se un quadro miracoloso che ritrae la Vergine che allatta il Bambino Gesù. La sacra immagine della Madonna del Patrocinio, attualmente venerata nella Chiesa del Monastero di S. Caterina, a Faenza, fu prima onorata nella casa della Famiglia Baldi, a Forti, la quale diede alla Comunità Camaldolese una figlia, con il nome di Suor Francesca. Alla morte di questa, il Vescovo di Forti volle che la sacra immagine fosse trasferita nella Chiesa delle Suore Camaldolesi. Ciò avvenne nell’anno 1614, con grande solennità e concorso di popolo. Le Suore, meravigliate per la fede e il fervore manifestati dai Forlivesi in quella occasione, decisero di collocare la immagine della Vergine in una cappella di marmo, eretta in suo onore. L’ultima domenica di settembre del 1650, con l’intervento del Cardinale …More
Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, of Hong Kong, responded publicly to an article by Fr. Han Qingping concerning the “retirement” of Bishop Zhang Weizhu of the Diocese of Xinxiang and the consecration of Bishop Li Jianlin. Fr. Han’s article described the replacement of the persecuted underground bishop with the state-recognized bishop as a positive sign of improving Sino-Vatican relations. He claimed that critics of the situation - implicitly referring to Cardinal Zen - were motivated by “stupidity,” “malice,” or a “distorted personality.” “This struck a nerve with me,” Cardinal Zen replied via his personal blog on December 11: “I don’t admit to being a ‘bad person’ or having a ‘personality disorder,’ but I am indeed ‘stupid’ enough to ‘take it personally.’” Zen also responded to Fr. Han’s reference to his criticism of the Synod on Synodality. He clarified that his description of “Church suicide behavior” does not refer to the synod as a whole or to synodality in general, but …More
This guy is a literal hero to me, because it was from listening to him, being interviewed by Alex Jones, that I literally worked out in my late twenties what had happened to me when I was an infant of only a few months, which affected me all my life.
“There have been endless dialogues with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, but they simply circle around,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com on December 12. “There is no way around recognising the Second Vatican Council as the twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church.” He added: “The claim that the Lefebvrists are the last bastion of true Catholicity must finally come to an end.” At the same time, Cardinal Müller acknowledged that the Fraternity has correctly identified “the wounds inflicted on the Body of Christ by self-appointed reformers in the style of Modernism.” But, he insisted, “there is never a justification for distancing oneself from the Catholic Church — even though the Church is a mixture of saints and sinners.” For Cardinal Müller, the moment has come for “all Catholics to reunite in the truth of Christ, who in the person of St Peter and his successor, Pope Leo XIV, has established an enduring principle and foundation of …More
Cardinal Muller accurately, describes the Synodal Way's desire to replace the Deposit of Faith with gender ideology, but as @sp2 . . noted these attitudes and intentions are not just applicable to the Church in Germany but are found everywhere in the Western Latin Rite!
Kristi Noem is exposed in her lies about not deporting American citizens, even those affected were present when she was exposed. Truth is coming out for those Trump lovers and racist people who call themselves christians and are anti - christs, wolves in sheep clothing. Justice will be done by asking God through prayer. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. GOD WILL DEFEAT THOSE DEMONS.

Obviously an old post - it's too late to pray that Francis die "repentant." that ship has sailed. While true that ONLY God judges & knows, it doesn't look good from what information we have.
