Especially when the same pretext is used selectively? Israel is committing genocide in Palestine and doesn’t have to worry about its deposits in Europe. Regardless of your stance on Russia’s actions, such politicized treatment of bank customers, judged by different standards depending on current political needs, poses a significant risk of eroding confidence in the institutions that “protect” the capital entrusted to them in this way. The article on TrendCompass from Monday was dedicated to this looting: Europe’s lawless union. On Friday, 12 December, the EU crossed the legal Rubicon, in order to indefinitely freeze the $246 billion in Russian assets held in Europe. Under the previous system, the assets were frozen temporarily, and the freeze required a renewal every six months, conditional on a unanimous vote by all …
+++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.”

The Door of Humility: Entering the Place Where Christ Was Born — Church of the Nativity Bethlehem—whose name in Hebrew means “House of Bread”—holds a place of profound significance in the Christian world. It was here that Mary and Joseph found refuge in a stable, and where Mary gave birth to Jesus, ‘the Bread of Life’. Over this sacred grotto, the Church of the Nativity was built, transforming a humble place of divine intervention into one of Christianity’s most treasured pilgrimage sites. The Church of the Nativity is among the oldest continuously functioning churches in existence. It was originally commissioned in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother, Saint Helena, who identified the grotto as the true site of Christ’s birth. Dedicated in 339 AD, the first basilica drew pilgrims from across the Roman Empire. Although the original structure was destroyed, Byzantine Emperor Justinian rebuilt a grander version in the 6th century, parts of which remain today …More
Professor James Tour from Rice University, in Houston, Texas, is internationally known and respected among organic chemists. In the interview linked below, he talks to Carlson about the theory evolution that is commonplace thinking and taught in our educational institutions. Except that he thinks it's a myth. He also talks about super human beings, the dangers of genetic engineering and how little we know about the complexities and origin of life. What I found most interesting is that Tour as a respected scientist isn't afraid to share his belief in God. He's a Christian but was born in a Jewish family. He believes that science supports the idea of a creator. Science and faith are not mutually exclusive. Science can help answer the questions of faith. In fact, Tour argues that science provides much evidence for belief. Amway, watch the interview and come to your own conclusion. From the Gospel of St. John 1:1-14: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word …
"For centuries, the visions of Saint Hildegard of Bingen have been studied by historians, theologians, and scholars of medieval spirituality. In this video, we explore what Saint Hildegard actually wrote in her works, including Scivias, and how her symbolic language has been interpreted over time. Rather than making predictions about specific events, Hildegard described moral, spiritual, and social patterns that she believed shaped human history. Her imagery — including ideas about balance, decline, renewal, and human responsibility — has often been revisited in different historical periods. Some readers find her warnings timeless, while others see them as reflections of the medieval world in which she lived." Kind of long YT Video >>> youtube.com/watch?v=3sZzLfqF8N0

In an unusually candid interview with IlTempo.it on December 15, Archbishop Georg Gänswein spoke about his relationship with Pope Francis, his reassignment after the death of Benedict XVI, and his role in publishing unpublished sermons of Benedict XVI. Main quotes. Return to Freiburg After Benedict XVI’s Death “As soon as Benedict XVI's funeral was over, Pope Francis decided that I should immediately return to my home diocese of Freiburg. However, in a move that was highly unusual for the secretary of a deceased pontiff, I was not assigned any duties.” “Even some people who were not exactly friends confided to me that this treatment of me had indeed been excessively harsh.” The Request for an Audience With Pope Francis “A year later, on 31st December 2023, on the first anniversary of Benedict XVI's death, I came to Rome to celebrate Mass at the altar of St Peter's Chair and another near his tomb in the Vatican Grottoes.” “It was one of the Memores Domini who advised me to request an …More
Nothing on Amazon Synod and forcing Pope Benedict to retract his signature from the book he co-authored with card Sarah - which happened to save the celibacy? Does jailer Gänswein think we forget the dirty job he did for his boss - the false prophet Bergoglio? Gotta love these crocodile tears over Bergoglio's feint attack on his most loyal servant, Gänswein
Tue Dec 16, 2025 - 4:31 pm ESTTue Dec 16, 2025 - 4:41 pm EST (Lepanto Institute) — In 2021, we published a report on several Tennessee organizations receiving funding from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). The various organizations were involved in some degree in the promotion of abortion and/or LGBT ideologies. MICAH was caught as a member of Power Together Tennessee, which had taken a formal position in full support of abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and transgenderism. That report can be viewed here. Over the course of the last three years, MICAH has received two grants for a combined total of $100,000; $50,000 in 2022-2023, and $50,000 in 2023-2024. In this update, we find that the president of the organization is a radical proponent of abortion and LGBT ideologies. The president of MICAH is Rev. Dr. Rosaylin Nichols. Rosalyn Nichols is quite vocal in her support for abortion. On March 1, 2025, Nichols posted a message falsely claiming that if one …
Among the various legal troubles inherited with the previous pontificate, Pope Leo XIV now faces a lawsuit at the European Court of Human Rights because the Vatican allegedly did not respect a fundamental right of a retiree: the inalienability of the pension accrued by the worker. The lawsuit was filed by two former managers of the IOR, Paolo Cipriani and Massimo Tulli, both convicted by the Vatican court for mismanagement. The Vatican bank, which should have paid them the pension allowance, albeit reduced by a third due to the conviction, as happens in all national systems, for example, even in Italy, stopped doing so overnight. Naturally, Cipriani and Tulli initially appealed to the Vatican courts, which have often not shone for transparency, suing the Pope's bank and winning both in the first and second instances with two favorable rulings that sided with the two former employees. In those favorable rulings, it was highlighted that a key principle from the Italian system was being …More
Pápež Lev XIV. čelí žalobe na Európskom súde pre ľudské práva v súvislosti s rozhodnutím Vatikánu pozastaviť vyplácanie dôchodkov dvom bývalým manažérom IOR, Paolovi Ciprianimu a Massimovi Tulliemu. Hoci obaja boli vatikánskymi súdmi odsúdení za zlé hospodárenie, skoršie rozhodnutia Vatikánu nariadili, aby im boli dôchodky obnovené v zníženej výške. V apríli 2025 však vatikánsky kasačný súd tieto rozhodnutia zrušil a rozhodol, že dôchodky nie sú nadobudnutým právom. Cipriani a Tulli sa teraz odvolávajú na ECHR s tvrdením, že toto rozhodnutie porušuje dôchodkové predpisy Vatikánu a Európsky dohovor o ľudských právach.
O Papa Leão XIV enfrenta um processo no Tribunal Europeu dos Direitos Humanos relativo à decisão do Vaticano de suspender o pagamento de pensões a dois ex-gestores do IOR, Paolo Cipriani e Massimo Tulli. Embora ambos tenham sido condenados pelos tribunais do Vaticano por má gestão, decisões anteriores do Vaticano determinaram que as suas pensões fossem restabelecidas a uma taxa reduzida. No entanto, em abril de 2025, o Tribunal de Cassação do Vaticano anulou essas decisões, determinando que as pensões não são um direito adquirido. Cipriani e Tulli estão agora a recorrer ao TEDH, alegando que isso viola os regulamentos de pensões do Vaticano e a Convenção Europeia dos Direitos Humanos.

17.12.2025 WHERE IS ST. THOMAS MORE TODAY IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN ENGLAND ? When King Henry VIII wanted to marry Anne Boleyn and the pope said no, he threatened to kill all the English cardinals and seize their property. All winked. Except for one. Today not a single cardinal will tell Ofsted and the Islamic groups that Lumen Gentium 16 in Vatican Council II refers only to a hypothetical case. It refers to someone invisible in London in 2025-2026. ‘Not a single cardinal except St. Thomas More’. Sounds familiar? Not a single cardinal in Britain will say that hypothetical cases of being saved ‘in imperfect communion with the Church ‘Unitatis Redigratio 3, are not exceptions for the dogma EENS. The Decree on Ecumenism, in Vatican Council II, is not an exception for Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II. Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism for salvation. Lumen Gentium 16 cannot be an explicit exception for Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston on extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), but ‘…More
