Jubilee of Prisoners, #PopeLeoXIV: May forms of amnesty or pardon be granted During the Mass presided over in St. Peter's Basilica, Leo XIV reiterated the desire expressed by Francis in "Spes non confundit," the papal bull announcing the Holy Year. He hopes that everyone will be offered real opportunities for social reintegration, while being aware of the critical issues of the prison system: "No human being is the same as what he has done. Justice is always a process of reparation." #VaticanNewsIT
+++Prophesies of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich+++ “The Church is in great danger… I see that in this place [Rome] the [Catholic] Church is being so cleverly undermined, that there will hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived. They all work for destruction, even the clergy. The great devastation is now at hand.” “The Church is the only one, the Roman Catholic! And if there were left upon earth but one Catholic, he would be the one, universal Church, the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ against which the gates of Hell shall never prevail.”
Catholic teaching holds that marriage is for life. Yet 28 percent of U.S. Catholics divorce. To remarry in the church, and avoid what Catholicism considers adultery, they must secure annulments from tribunals holding their marriages invalid at the time of the wedding. With a success rate of nearly100percent, annulments have come to be viewed as entitlements. By contrast, Catholic spouses striving to honor their vows find little support from a church that seems to have adopted a U.S. divorce culture mentality. Pope Leo alluded to this crisis during his recent address to the Roman Rota, which hears annulment appeals and regularly overturns decisions by U.S. tribunals. “I think the prevalence of affirmatives has certainly added to people’s concepts that annulments is purely a process rather than a real trial,” said Father Andrew Larkin, a priest and defender of the marriage bond in Savannah’s tribunal. “But I think the divorce factor is huge. I think one of the things that is …
Is the annulment of the Catholic SACRAMENTAL MARRIAGE nothing more than equal to a civil divorce today versus the the Truth of ALMIGHTY GOD? In too many Catholic divorces, it is anathema in opposition to the mandate of JESUS CHRIST which means that the annulments are invalid.
Leo, like Francis, in saying "most" or the "vast majority" of marriages are invalid is just giving a green light to those unhappy to leave one's spouse for another. What about the canonical principle that a marriage is considered valid unless it can BE PROVED to have been null to begin with? For shame!
There are too many multitudes of bibles that are CORRUPT a.k.a. as man-made concoctions to please the man-made beliefs by subtracting books, adding books, changing words, etc. ; ALL the protestant bibles are corrupt and other bibles also. The Holy Scriptures of ALMIGHTY GOD and the interpretations of them have been entrusted to the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC Church which is the only Church that JESUS CHRIST INSTITUTED versus the plethora of churches founded by man in order to be used to seduce people to follow themselves while pretending to be true churches.

A Paris court has fined a father of a family tens of thousands of euros for placing pro-life stickers on Vélib’ rental bicycles. In May 2023, stickers reading “What if you had let them live?” with an illustration of a fetus growing into a baby and then a cyclist appeared on many bikes in Paris. Vélib’ filed a complaint, and city officials, including Mayor Anne Hidalgo, strongly condemned the action. Several politicians described the campaign as shameful, reactionary, and an attack on women’s abortion rights, while government ministers denounced it as an anti-abortion provocation in public space. Pro-life group Les Survivants defended the message, saying every life deserves to be lived. More than two years later, the court ruled against Emile Duport, sentencing him to around €36,000 in fines for damaging public property. He has since appealed for financial help to pay the penalty.
35 000 euros ! C’est le montant faramineux qui est réclamé à un père de famille pour de simples autocollants pro-vie collés sur des vélos… Rappelez-vous, nous avions évoqué cette affaire. En mai 2023, dans Paris, l’arrière d’un nombre conséquent de bicyclettes de location avait été recouvert d’un autocollant sympa avec le slogan « Et si vous l’aviez laissé vivre ? » assorti du dessin d’un fœtus grandissant, puis devenant un bébé et enfin… un cycliste joyeux. Il n’en fallait pas plus pour choquer des hommes et des femmes par ailleurs insensibles au sort des centaines de milliers de fœtus avortés chaque année, bébés tués dans le ventre de leur mère. La direction de Vélib’ avait déposé une plainte. Et Anne Hidalgo, maire de Paris, avait plastronné qu’elle allait « prendre toutes les mesures pour que cela ne se reproduise pas ». Séisme chez les bobos féministes pro-avortement Moins soucieux des bébés humains que des bébés phoques, David Belliard, adjoint au maire EELV …
Meanwhile, taggers are spray painting all sorts of slogans and obscenities, and defacing property as a result, in cities like Paris and elsewhere around the world. At least this fellow did something life-affirming and prodded his fellow Parisians to take some time in their day to exercise the beautiful faculty of reflection.

The blood of St. Januarius liquefied yesterday, marking the fourth time this miracle has occurred in 2025. While the liquefaction usually happens three times a year on set dates, this year also saw a rare and unexpected occurrence in August—the first since 1389—which many in Naples viewed as a special blessing.
Das Wunder des heiligen Januarius Neapel, das Wunder des heiligen Januarius wiederholt sich. Heute, Dienstag, 16.

Tired of wrestling with syntax? Just go with the vibes. That’s the essence of vibe coding, Collins’ Word of the Year 2025, a term that captures something fundamental about our evolving relationship with technology. Coined by AI pioneer Andrej Karpathy, vibe coding refers to the use of artificial intelligence prompted by natural language to write computer code. Basically, telling a machine what you want rather than painstakingly coding it yourself. It’s programming by vibes, not variables. While tech experts debate whether it’s revolutionary or reckless, the term has resonated far beyond Silicon Valley, speaking to a broader cultural shift towards AI-assisted everything in everyday life. In fact, much of the Collins’ Word of the Year shortlist reflects this further shift towards a tech-dominated world. But the runners-up on this year’s list also reveal a society grappling with authenticity in an increasingly performative world. Perhaps we’re all a bit too focused on aura farming, …
Tribunal Supremo reconoce que las leyes anticonversión violan la libertad religiosa El Tribunal Supremo de la India reconoció recientemente que las denominadas leyes anticonversión, vigentes en varios estados del país, restringen de hecho la libertad religiosa, al imponer controles y sospechas sobre el acto de cambiar de religión. hmtv
MUMBAI, India – The Supreme Court of India is raising questions over the anti-conversion law in Uttar Pradesh state, sayings India is a secular country. The court is dealing with a batch of petitions concerning six criminal cases registered by Uttar Pradesh police under various provisions of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the 2021 anti-conversion law, reported Bar and Bench. The Supreme Court on Oct. 17 raised concerns over key provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act 2021, enacted by the Yogi Adityanath government, reportedly describing parts of the law as “onerous” and potentially intrusive. The court highlighted the “conspicuous” involvement of government authorities in the religious conversion process. The court noted that it was not examining the constitutional validity of the UP Conversion Act in this case, but observed that the Act’s pre- and post-conversion declaration requirements “seem to introduce a very onerous procedure to be …More
DECEMBER 18 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 1,18-24. This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means "God is with us." When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had …More
