Pope Leo Walks the ‘Early Francis’ Path — With a New Approach

COMMENTARY: Early signs from Leo’s first consistory suggest continuity with Pope Francis’ original pastoral vision — more in what he said than in how he later governed.
The direction of the Leonine pontificate is still not yet clear, but the consistory of cardinals last week gave some further indications.
Pope Leo XIV intends to continue in the direction of his immediate predecessor, but he prefers to do as Pope Francis said, rather than what Pope Francis did.
In announcing the topics for the consistory last month, Leo chose four that were central to the Francis pontificate —
Evangelii Gaudium, the reform of the Roman Curia, liturgy and synodality.
At the actual consistory, the cardinals chose to discuss the first and the last, about both of which Pope Leo has repeatedly expressed his commitment. Leo wants the missionary Church called for by Evangelii Gaudium, the charter document of Pope Francis, and agrees with Pope Francis that “synodality is what the Lord desires” for the Church …

Australia’s New Hate Speech Bill Is Reckless, Contradictory, and Repressive

On January 12, Australia’s Attorney-General Michelle Rowland stepped to the podium and announced what she called “the toughest hate laws Australia has ever seen.”
The government plans to push its Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 through Parliament on January 20, turning Australia’s speech laws into something that reads more like a psychological test than a criminal code.
We obtained a copy of the bill for you
here (and the memorandum here.)
The same week Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was praising Iranians “standing up for their human rights,” his government was preparing to criminalize speech at home even when no one’s rights or feelings had actually been touched.
The bill’s centerpiece is a new racial vilification offense. It bans “publicly promoting or inciting hatred” based on race, color, or national or ethnic origin, with penalties of up to five years in prison.
The measure’s core novelty is what it removes: proof of harm.
It’s “immaterial,” the draft …

Benedict XVI’s Master of Ceremonies: The Curia are all “Assholes” and “Faggots”

Agostini hot mic cuts too close to home, Rome fires the scapegoats and baptizes the language of the Reformation, all while the bishops permitted to protest remain safely powerless
Msgr. Marco Agostini was not a nobody. He was not a disposable court jester who wandered into a sensitive room and got himself tossed for a bad joke. Rome trusted him for decades. The Catholic Herald notes his prior service in the Secretariat of State’s Section for Relations with States, the very corner of the machinery that prizes discipline, discretion, and institutional loyalty.
In June 2009, under Benedict XVI, Agostini was appointed Pontifical Master of Ceremonies. He then remained in place for more than sixteen years across three pontificates, a tenure the Herald describes as an unusual sign of confidence and competence.
That context matters because it exposes what this is. This is not the Church discovering a suddenly unfit cleric. This is an institution removing a man who has long been useful, then …

Speaking truth to power?

Tom Morelli

When he was thirty, someone once told him a strange line: “At fifty, you’ll finally meet the most important woman of your life.”
He laughed it off at the time.
His name was Alex.
Twenty years passed, swallowed by work, responsibility, and achievement.
He built a business, spent half his life on planes, provided well, checked every box that society hands to grown men.
He and his wife, Irene, lived quietly. No fights, no drama — but not much closeness either.
Two people sharing a roof, not a life.
There was no time for feelings. Only duties.
Then came the heart attack.
Not a major one, but loud enough to shake him awake.
Recovery forced him to slow down. One day he caught his reflection in the mirror — a tired man with graying hair staring back. It took him a moment to realize that man was him.
The emptiness arrived quietly.
The kids were grown and gone, the marriage held together mostly by habit, the business still running yet suddenly pointless. There was no “next mountain” to …More

Answering Cardinal Roche’s Linguistic, Historical, and Theological Errors

Joseph Shaw, President of Una Voce, has written a reply to Cardinal Arthur Roche’s two-pagedocument against the Mass in the Roman rite, which was distributed at Leo XIV’s consistory last week in Italian and English.
Faulty Translation
Shaw notes that the English version of Cardinal Roche's document is a poor translation of the Italian:
“The Italian word sintonia, which means ‘harmony’, was rendered ‘syntony’ (para. 4). It is surprising that an English Cardinal should have missed this howler, and it suggests that he didn’t write the document personally.”
Cardinal Roche’s Threefold Argument
Shaw then summarizes Cardinal Roche’s threefold argument:
- that the Catholic liturgy has always changed through an ongoing process of organic reform;
- that Vatican II mandated liturgical reform;
- and that liturgical unity is essential to the unity of the Church.
The final claim is illustrated with quotations drawn from several popes.
Legitimate Diversity of Rites
Shaw observes that the appeal …More

German Diocese Regrets "Slime Jesus" – But No One Is Punished

The diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Germany, allegedly regrets its televised Christmas Eve Eucharist, which featured an adult woman covered in sticky rice paper who resembled a slimy alien in a manger.
The Eucharist was broadcast Germanwide from the parish of St Mary’s in Stuttgart.
The officiating priest, Thomas Steiger, said during the service: "The nativity scene shows a real human being, lying there miserable, naked and exposed."
Next to him, the female actor breathed heavily and slowly writhed in the paper, which was apparently meant to represent the vernix covering a newborn child.
"This is how radically God becomes human: close, touchable, without distance, real," said Rev Steiger.
It was only on 12 January, after nearly three weeks of mounting criticism and online mockery, that Bishop Klaus Krämer of Rottenburg-Stuttgart published a statement on the diocesan website. It claims that the bishop has taken note of the feedback and carefully reviewed it over the past few days. "The …More

Traditional celebration of the Baptism of Christ at Jordan River | Shalom World News
Each year, as the Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord, the Christian community of the Holy Land gather along the banks of the Jordan River, retracing the sacred steps of Jesus as he was baptized by Saint John the Baptist. This time-honored celebration, woven into the fabric of Church history, marks the close of the Christmas season and invites both faithful and pilgrims to reflect on the profound meaning of their own baptism. The ceremony unfolds at Qasr al-Yahud, a site on the western bank of the Jordan near Jericho, revered by tradition as the exact spot where Jesus immersed himself in the river. Today, the site welcomes pilgrims from near and far, setting the stage for vibrant processions and liturgies that unite friars, local believers, and visitors from parishes in Jericho, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Beit Hanina.

1134. The Worst Vaccine Disaster Before COVID – World Scam

COVID didn’t come out of nowhere. It followed a script that had already worked. A system where risk is minimized, dissent is dismissed, and harm is reframed as coincidence. Once you see the pattern, it’s hard to unsee it. And impossible to forget.
The above quote comes from an article published on Saturday on vigilantfox.com: The Worst Vaccine Disaster Before COVID.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. describes Gardasil as “probably the worst mass vaccination we have ever seen.” The vaccine is intended for millions of teenagers who have virtually no risk of dying from cervical cancer.
The advertised vaccine against cervical cancer, Gardasil, was also recommended for boys.

Christopher went to the doctor for a sports physical at 14 years old, where he was given the Gardasil HPV vaccination after being told it would prevent his future wife from getting cancer. Soon, Christopher complained …

Bishop Strickland about the fateful council

My Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move.
What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice.
There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process.
And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it.
From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …More

Vatican II is no longer being treated as one council received by the Church. It is being treated as the interpretive tribunal before which all other councils must now appear. If something from the past fits the conciliar vocabulary, it may remain. If it resists that vocabulary, it must be “re-read,” “re-framed,” or quietly set aside. This is why the language matters so much.

Mike the Pike

But a Church that refuses to correct error does not remain neutral. She slowly teaches by silence. For years now, we have watched confusion spread without consequence. We have watched public dissent go unanswered. We have watched teachings that were once clear become “complex,” then “pastoral,” then quietly optional. -- Bishop Strickland

Die Eltern der CIA waren quasi SKULL AND BONES in Yale und der britische Geheimdienst MI-6.
SKULL AND BONES wurde vorher wiederum mit Hilfe des RUSSEL TRUST gegründet. Dieser Trust hatte einen Teil seiner Kohle aus dem Opiumhandel mit China und deren Triaden meist über die Häfen von HONGKONG und der Türkei.
MAO absolvierte bevor er als kommunistischer Herrscher installiert wurde eine Art Fernstudium durch Yale in China. YALE IN CHINA wurde durch ROCKEFELLER Stiftungsgelder und angeblich auch durch die Rothschilds gesponsert.
Die CIA betrieb AIR AMERICA und war im Kokainhandel aktiv beteiligt.
Viele CIA Directors waren ehemalige Studenten aus Yale und oft auch BONESMAN aus der TOMB. Darunter George Herbert Walker Bush Senior.
