On 12 December, MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow — a lesbian and a prominent progressive American voice — announced that she considers herself to have returned to the Catholic Church. She lives with an artist named Susan Mikula in a same-sex "marriage". According to TheLettersFromLeo.com, Maddow made these remarks during a question-and-answer session at a local event in Chicago. An audience member asked for her thoughts on the election of Pope Leo XIV. In her response, Maddow praised both Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV. The Church had just said goodbye to Pope Francis, when along came Pope Leo XIV, who shares Francis's passion for illegal immigrants. She said the timing was so perfect that it was "like it was just grown in a lab" against "cruelty to immigrants". Maddow was raised in a conservative Catholic family, but left the Church around 30 years ago for her homosexual lifestyle. Referring to her current outlook, she told the audience, "I do consider myself to be back in the faith". She …More
Pope Leo XIV: “Authentic diplomacy is distinguished from self-interested calculations or a balance between rivals who hide their respective differences precisely by the ability to reach sincere agreements.”
Numbers 24:2-7, 15-17a “Their king will rise higher.” The king is the one of peace. The dominion is that of Love, which contains joy and peace. Matthew 21:23-27 “By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?” God’s authority does not enslave but sets humanity free. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
For years, those who questioned the calamity of climate change were treated like pariahs. Now, their day of vindication has come. Roger Pielke Jr., a public-policy expert who had studied the intersection of politics and climate science, had been battling the prophets of doom for years. Those who insisted we were on the brink of civilizational collapse. Mass death. A biblical confrontation with ourselves that would out-Flood the Flood. But it was his argument that the rising cost of natural disasters had no tie to greenhouse gases that cost him his career. In February 2015, Congressman Raúl Grijalva announced an investigation into Pielke’s climate research, sending letters to several universities suggesting that faculty members, including Pielke, who taught at the University of Colorado, were secretly working for energy companies. “Companies with a direct financial interest in climate and air quality standards,” Grijalva wrote to the universities, are behind “research that influences …More

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? Work in factories? DC says, they arrest thousands everyday. But only the workers. They say, they caught a bunch …More
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.
"19. There is not and there will never be, either in God's creation or in his mind, a creature in whom he is so honoured as in the most Blessed Virgin Mary, not excepting even the saints, the cherubim or the highest seraphim in heaven. Mary is God's garden of Paradise, his own unspeakable world, into which his Son entered to do wonderful things, to tend it and to take his delight in it. He created a world for the wayfarer, that is, the one we are living in. He created a second world - Paradise - for the Blessed. He created a third for himself, which he named Mary. She is a world unknown to most mortals here on earth. Even the angels and saints in heaven find her incomprehensible, and are lost in admiration of a God who is so exalted and so far above them, so distant from them, and so enclosed in Mary, his chosen world, that they exclaim: “Holy, holy, holy” unceasingly."
[Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort; XVII-XVIII Century AD; Montfort-sur-Meu, France/Saint-Laurent-sur-Sevre, France; (aged 43); Founder; Spiritual Writer] “II - To find the grace of God, we must discover Mary 17. Mary is the great mould of God, fashioned by the Holy Spirit to give human nature to a Man who is God by the hypostatic union, and to fashion through grace men who are like to God. No godly feature is missing from this mould. Everyone who casts himself into it and allows himself to be moulded will acquire every feature of Jesus Christ, true God, with little pain or effort, as befits his weak human condition. He will take on a faithful likeness to Jesus with no possibility of distortion, for the devil has never had and never will have any access to Mary, the holy and immaculate Virgin, in whom there is not the least suspicion of a stain of sin. 18. Dear friend, what a difference there is between a soul brought up in the ordinary way to resemble Jesus Christ by people who,…More
13.12.2025 POPE LEO, FISICHELLA,SPADERO DELIBERATELY CHOOSE THE FALSE PREMISE TO INTERPRET VATICAN II AND CREATE POLARISATION Pope Leo, Archbishop Rino Fisichella and Fr. Antonio Spadero sj are deliberately choosing the False Premise to interpret Vatican Council II and produce liberalism and polarization with the conservatives and traditionalists in the Church. The Synod Study Groups used the False Premise and the Consistory will do the same next month. Without the False Premise, Vatican Council II is aligned with the Athanasius Creed, the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX. There is no change in faith and morals. It means LGBT activity is a mortal sin. Divorce is not permitted. Priests cannot marry and women cannot become priests.The ecclesiology is exclusivist at every liturgy and Holy Mass. The whole Church has to use the Roman Missal which is in harmony with the Athanasius Creed, while, the New Missal of Pope Paul VI is not. The New …More
“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!
