The Polish Bishops’ Conference has invited Pope Leo XIV to visit Poland. Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda of Gdańsk delivered the invitation during a private audience, noting that 2027 would be a fitting occasion as the Church marks the 150th anniversary of the Marian apparitions in Gietrzwałd. The Pope said his schedule for 2026–27 is already full but that he would consider the visit. According to Monsignor Wojda, Leo XIV expressed his affection for Poland and recalled visiting the country many times before.

Archbishop Wojda emphasised that he told the Pope that 2027 marks the 150th anniversary of the apparitions in Gietrzwałd, so ‘it is a good opportunity …
This is good news for the people in Ukraine and Russia. But not so good for nato and US and anyone else involved. While Russia is winning, they are lying more and more about how Ukraine is winning. Like Ursula the liar. They will step it up more than ever now. And we need to step up prayers. Trump says he is not giving Ukraine money, and yet a table full of $100 bills given to traitors and those who are trying to destroy Russia and Ukraine.
Also, the EU leadership under Ursula von der Leyen plans to declare a state of emergency to override national vetoes against accessing Russian assets frozen at Euroclear and to transfer a further €210 billion to Ukraine.
Cardinal Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo, emeritus of Caracas, was stopped from leaving Venezuela on December 10. Authorities at Simón Bolívar International Airport annulled his passport as he prepared to board a flight to Madrid. Officials informed him he was under a travel ban, confiscated his passport, and detained him for about two hours before sending him back to his residence. He was escorted even to go to the bathroom. Authorities claimed “non-compliance with travel regulations” and required Cardinal Porras to sign a document confirming he could not travel. The cardinal reported that when he attempted to photograph the document, he was threatened with arrest. He also said an officer told him he appeared as “deceased” in the government system, which was used to justify the passport cancellation. The incident follows growing tension between the Venezuelan government and the Church. Weeks earlier, Cardinal Porras had described the situation in Venezuela as “morally unacceptable …More
The museum Künstlerhaus in Vienna, Austria, is presenting an exhibition titled “You Shall Make Yourself an Image.” It opened in late October 2025 and runs through 8 February 2026. The exhibition features about 40 provocateurs (“artists”) mocking Christian imagery. Catholic organizations and online petitions describe the exhibit as “blasphemous,” “insulting,” and as mocking key Christian symbols such as the crucifixion and imagery of the Virgin Mary. Works criticized include: - A wolf dressed in liturgical garments - A crucified frog - Portrayals of Mary as a trans woman or other provocative reinterpretations The Austrian right-wing party FPÖ (Austrian Freedom Party) condemned the exhibition as “a scandalous mockery of Christianity” and demanded that it be shut down, especially since it runs during Advent and Christmas and receives public funding. On Monday, a group of Catholics gathered outside the museum to protest the exhibition, including an act of penance prayer. However, …More
Pope Leo XIV published today an Apostolic Letter on archaeology. Marking 100 years since the founding of the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology, he described the discipline as “indispensable for understanding Christianity”: “Revelation is always history. If this is so, then understanding Revelation requires an adequate knowledge of the historical, cultural and material contexts in which it took place,” he wrote. The Pontifical Institute, founded in 1925, is led by German priest Stefan Heid. He is world-famous for his research showing that the early Church celebrated Holy Mass ad orientem.
Berlin zahlt 900 Millionen Euro für Flüchtlingsunterkünfte Berlin steht kurz davor, knapp eine Milliarde Euro zur Unterbringung von Flüchtlingen auszugeben. Das geht aus einer Berechnung des Senats hervor, die dem „Tagesspiegel“ vorliegt. Demnach beliefen sich die Kosten für die Unterkünfte im Jahr 2024 auf 883 Millionen Euro – 2020 waren es noch 312 Millionen Euro. Das entspricht einem Anstieg um gut 150%. Besonders brisant sind die Kosten für das Flüchtlingsheim in Tegel: Auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen Flughafens waren Tausende Menschen untergebracht, derzeit sind es noch etwa 1500. Allein im Jahr 2023 – als der Kostenanstieg in Berlin Fahrt aufnahm – verschlang die Unterkunft 298 Millionen Euro, im vergangenen Jahr waren es dann immerhin noch 260 Millionen Euro. Zu der Zeit waren dort etwa 5000 Flüchtlinge untergebracht. Abonniert @satellit_de!
Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim told AcePrensa.com on December 9 that we are already living in a post-secular age, something especially evident in northern Europe. He said that people are turning to Catholicism "because it is true", as many grow disillusioned with other options. "With so much collapse — of old certainties and institutions — and the fragility of our political, cultural, ecological and financial lives, people are looking for parameters that promise to withstand the flood." Regarding the increase in attendance at Mass in the Roman rite, Bishop Varden noted that this is happening "in some places, not everywhere". It is linked to a search for beauty, which the Church can offer. He urged simply celebrating the liturgy well and follow the rubrics: "Do the red and say the black." Referring to the Chartres pilgrimage over Pentecost, he observed that the young participants were impossible to categorise, ranging from people who attend charismatic services to those who attend the …More
Camus @newstart_2024 Calley Means (ex-Big Pharma & Big Food insider) just said the quiet part out loud — calmly, clearly, and with receipts: “Chronic disease is the greatest profit-maximizing invention in human history — because it’s recurring revenue and we don’t die right away.” No yelling. No conspiracy. Just cold, hard economics. Fact: Healthcare is now America’s #1 industry. Fact: It grows fastest when we stay sick longest. Fact: More paychecks, mortgages, and retirements depend on managed illness than on actual cures. He’s not attacking anyone — he’s simply asking us to look at the scoreboard we all live under. If tomorrow every incentive flipped from “treat forever” to “prevent completely” — what’s the very first thing you’d change in your own life? Be honest. I’m reading every reply.

Australian woman ordered to pay $95k to ‘transgender’ men for ‘misgendering’ - An Australian women’s rights advocate was accused of 'unlawfully vilifying' two trans-identifying men by correctly referring to them as male.
Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra Registered nurse and whistleblower Michelle Spencer says that every time a newborn is given a hepatitis B shot, the baby is being exposed to far more aluminum than the FDA’s recommended limit, calling it a form of chemical assault. She says she has been warning mothers not to allow the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and the refusal rate has grown so much that the hospital held a meeting about it. According to Spencer, administrators accused nurses of giving “biased information” because so many mothers were now declining the hep-B shot.
More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
