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about his relationship with Pope Francis, his reassignment after the death of Benedict XVI, and his role in publishing unpublished sermons of Benedict XVI.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

I watched that speech when he first made it. Than watched it one or two more times. It was a long speech. I remember in part of his speech he was talking about how one country I won't mention, and how they said that GOD was a woman. Then added But so far they are only thinking about. Then said right after that, GOD Forgive them, for they no not what they do. I cracked up over that. This speech was back in 2022 or 23. I believe.
I can't find one link from the SSPX showing the SSPX Chapels in Russia. Something is not right. I love the SSPX but they are not being honest when it comes to Russia. Not only that, but trying to search for a Chapel in Russia is impossible. They don't list even one, when I know there is at least two of them. Why don't they mention even one Chapel in Russia? Josef Schuztman has mentioned the one he attends and I believe another one in Russia. This is from a Russian site where they mention where the SSPX Chapels are. They list at least 3 in different cities. But not how many there are. The largest number of Brotherhood followers are concentrated in France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The Superior General of the Brotherhood is the Italian priest Davide Pagliarani, who succeeded Bishop Bernard Fellay. The Brotherhood's chapels of St. Pius X are also located in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Minsk. Священническое братство святого Пия X — Википедия
I remember my Mother Superior asking me once if I wanted to join the SSPX in France when I was having issues with the convent I was in.., I had no tolerance of the Novus Ordo and apparently that was a problem. I thought, it being a more traditional kind of convent they would be more like-minded to me, but apparently, I was quite alone in my traditional thinking.. me and the chaplain, and he was having disagreements with the Superior over it all. most of the time there was a daily TLM there, approved by the diocese, but the Superior also made it clear in her view "the Mass was the Mass". The other sisters, whatever their true thoughts were on the matter, never made it explicit they were in tune with my way of thinking. A torturous situation to be in over the long term, in a Carmelite convent where no two convents are alike, and there is outright persecution in the worldwide Church going on over this very issue.
"Christians are Christians, no matter what their denomination or liturgical tradition": Retired Archbishop of Vienna Christoph Cardinal Schönborn told KircheInNot: “The disunity among Christians is simply a great scandal. When one encounters the love of Jesus, one immediately feels at home. No matter what denomination or liturgical tradition, Christians are Christians. Our confession of Christ unites us. For me, that is clearly much stronger than anything that divides us as Christians as we follow Christ. Unity is in God. Diversity is among us humans. The Church has always been beset from within and without, by the devil. And so, yes, we need the gaze of Jesus", he said.
Kardinal Schönborn vor Kirche in Not: Christen sind Christen - unabhängig von der Konfession oder liturgischer Tradition.
Let's cut to the chase. Protestant belief in Christ is like my belief in Santa Claus. Both are figments of our respective imaginations - not reality. Non-reality: that's Protestantism. It makes Our Lord a figure of fiction. So take your blather elsewhere, Your Repugnance. (By the way, St. Nicholas, if he were around, would give you the same treatment he gave to Arius - and don't even attempt to question the veracity of the account employing the lies of historical revisionism.)

Las Posadas: from December 16-24 Las Posadas originated in colonial Mexico. The Augustinian friars of San Agustin de Acolman, near Mexico City, are believed to have organized the first posadas. In 1586, Friar Diego de Soria, the Augustinian prior, obtained a papal bull from Pope Sixtus V to celebrate what was called ‘Misas de Aguinaldo’ or ‘Christmas bonus masses’ between December 16 and 24. The tradition seems to be one of many examples of how the Catholic religion in Mexico was adapted to make it easier for the indigenous people to understand and blend with their earlier beliefs. The Aztecs had a tradition of honoring their god Huitzilopochtli at the same time of year, coinciding with the winter solstice. The Posada celebrations were originally held in the church but the custom spread. Later it was celebrated in haciendas, and then in family homes, gradually taking the form of the celebration as it is now practiced by the time of the 19th century. Now, neighborhood committees often …More

The Trump administration is threatening to withhold federal funds from 21 Democratic-led states that have refused to share comprehensive SNAP (food stamp) recipient data, citing the need to root out fraud and verify eligibility.

Fugitive Caught Hiding in Nativity Scene: In the southern Italian town of Galatone, a wanted man tried to evade arrest by blending into the town’s Nativity scene. Early on Saturday morning, Mayor Falvio Filoni noticed what he thought was a new life-size figure among the statues — until it started moving and speaking. The man, a 38-year-old from Ghana, had been hiding there for weeks. Police later identified him as a fugitive wanted for resisting law enforcement and aggravated assault. He has now been arrested and is serving his sentence in Lecce.

THE SANHEDRIN EMBASSY Fray Justo Pérez de Urbel Third Sunday of Advent The Baptist continues to fulfill his job as a pioneer, straightening the crooked paths and opening his hearts to the approaching light. It fulminates, exhorts, comforts and baptizes. They have not yet chained their hands or locked their voice between the walls of a basement. He lives on the banks of the Jordan, not far from Jericho, next to the entrance to the desert, where he has spent the years of his youth in mortification and fasting. But now the loner has become a director of men, the silent inhabitant of the jungle into a possible leader of villages. In all of Palestine there is only talk of his appearance. Up there, the fishermen of the lake entertain the forced waits of their office by repeating the words of the penitent; the pious Israelites begin to see in him a joyful hope, and even in the National Council of Israel, in the Sanhedrin, the Scriptures are stirred to look for some luminous text referring to …More

"We Didn't Cross the Border, the Border Crossed Us" dwherstories.com/…ne/we-didnt-cross-the-border- … Listen This popular Mexican immigrant rights slogan reminds us that national borders are not natural, but created and recreated to serve the economic and political interests of the elite. In the 1800s, the United States expanded west into lands that were already transformed by many generations of colonial violence. This violence included the reliance on Indigenous women and children as a captive domestic workforce. As historian Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone) writes, “Violence both predated and became intrinsic to American expansion.” Spanish colonization (of what would later become Mexico) and then U.S. invasions, redrew the territorial border. By 1848 the United States controlled most or all of the land that is now California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming. In the process, over 150,000 Mexican citizens and 180,000 Indigenous residents became subjects …More
