Since 1 September 2025, the Greek Catholic Church in Hungary has omitted the 'Filioque' from the Creed during the Divine Liturgy. This decision to abandon a Catholic tenet in order to appease the schismatic Orthodox was announced on Hd.gorogKatolikus.hu. The article argues that, in recent decades, Pope John Paul II prayed with Orthodox patriarchs, omitting the 'Filioque'. It claims that this change is not an innovation, but a return to a text prayed by ancestors. The current version states that the "Holy Spirit [...] proceeds from the Father". However, this can easily be misunderstood. According to the Western Church, the Holy Spirit proceeds "from the Father and the Son". The Eastern fathers said, what is also legitimately formulated, that he proceeds "from the Father through the Son". However, the Holy Spirit does not proceed from the Father alone. #newsBihsfdbpvh
The original form of the Creed does not have the Filioque. Just a reminder - the Creed that is recited as the Nicaean Creed is actually the Nicaean-Constantinopolitan Creed. It was formulated at the 1st General Council in Nicaea in the year 325 and then updated to the modern usage at the 2nd General Council known as 1st Constantinople in the year 381. Look up both versions - they are very different from each other. The 381 Creed can be read in full here in English translation: CHURCH FATHERS: First Council of Constantinople … You will notice that it is very familiar, but in the original form it does not have the Filioque (proceeds from the Son). Do a double take on that. Common Roman Catholic thought these days is that the Filioque is necessary. But including the Filioque is not what the General Council (which was an authoritative body of the assembled Church in a decision in union with the Pope of Rome) established. Remember from our Church history that the first use of the …More
"Father Bernard, I want you to reassure me, and then I will be certain! In a vision two years ago I saw you as a man able to stare at the sun without flinching, a courageous man. And I wept because I blush so much - because I am so timid! Good Father, through your kindness I have found a place in your soul, so that now, if you will, you can reveal to me through your word whether you want me to say these things openly or whether I should keep quiet."
[HILDEGARD OF BINGEN was born into a noble family in Bermersheim in 1098. At the age of eight her family gave her into the care of a religious noblewoman, Jutta of Spanheim, who took Hildegard with her to become a recluse at the Disibodenberg monastery. Some time between 1112 and 1115, when the monastery became a convent, Hildegard took religious vows. After Jutta’s death in 1136, Hildegard was elected abbess at Disibodenberg. At this time she started to write about the visions she had been experiencing. Her first work, Scivias, appeared with Papal approval in 1151, just after she had established her own religious community at Rupertsberg, near Bingen. Her collection of religious songs, the Symphonia, appeared in 1158. She then produced a number of other works, including The Book of Life’s Merits (c. 1163), The Book of Divine Works (c. 113), lives of local saints, and various musical, scientific and medical works. She also invented a private language, which formed the basis of two short …More

On 25 November, InfoVaticana.com released an audio recording related to alleged money laundering involving the Vatican, the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae (Sodalicio) and an ongoing FBI investigation. In the recording, Monsignor Jordi Bertomeu — an official of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, as well as the Vatican’s commissioner overseeing the suppression of the Sodalicio — admits that the Holy See was aware of the FBI's investigation into the suspected money laundering. The audio captures a conversation between Msgr. Bertomeu and a Sodalicio representative in which they discuss strategies to 'avoid scandal' and reduce the impact of the case in Peru and the US. According to InfoVaticana, the actions described by Monsignor Bertomeu could constitute obstruction of justice under US federal law. In the recording, he suggests informing the FBI that the Church has already 'cleaned up' the situation by recovering assets and severing ties with the Sodalicio. This an approach should …More
I read an interesting article that explains why praise harms children. She points to one professor whose twenty-five years of experience and over 50,000 hours of conversation has led him to conclude that “praising a child as ‘clever’ may not help her at school. In fact, it might cause her to under-perform.” Yet modern child psychology, educational theories, children’s literature, and the average parent operate on the basic assumption that a child’s self-esteem depends on a great deal of praise. Praise for a picture well-drawn! Praise for kicking the ball at soccer practice! Praise for train town well-built! Praise for eating dinner! But as it turns out, a child praised as “clever” may react by becoming afraid to try. Why? According to Professor Grosz, if that child has already shown herself to be “the best,” then what else is there except the looming possibility of failure, of doing less than the best? The child may, Grosz says, “simply repeat the same work—why draw something …
I think this is nonsense. Yes, it probably can be overdone, but praise can give confidence to a child to expand even further. Continual criticism causes much more harm.
At today’s presentation of the sexual psychology document Una caro. Elogio della monogamia, Tucho Fernández linked celibacy with abuse, reports German agency KNA. A priest cannot expect to fill his feelings of loneliness with another person, he said, noting that this can give rise to abuse: "I have to resolve my feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and psychological problems in other ways." For decades, many experts have pointed out that there is no evidence that celibate men are more likely to be pedophiles than the general male population. Psychologists and criminologists also emphasize that celibacy itself does not increase the likelihood of pedophilic tendencies [but how about porn?]. Furthermore: Data from Germany indicate that the extent of sexual abuse in Protestant and Catholic institutions is comparable. #newsCsohvpenln
Full quote: “Certainly what is said about non-possession also applies to us. As a priest, I cannot presume to fill my sense of loneliness by using another person. Abuse also comes from there, doesn’t it? From my sense of emptiness, of loneliness. I should look for other ways, not another person who can satisfy these needs. This also applies to the celibate.”
If the Vatican took proper proactive measures to stop the abuse, such as knife castration, we would not have to ponder issues as such. The real reason why these buggers wish to have married priest, like the Orthodox, is so that two homosexual priest can then be married, then freely, without condemnation, pork each other right before saying Liturgy.
Unità senza Verità. "Allora Pilato gli disse: "Dunque tu sei re?". Rispose Gesù: "Tu lo dici: io sono re. Per questo io sono nato e per questo sono venuto nel mondo: per dare testimonianza alla verità. Chiunque è dalla verità, ascolta la mia voce". Gv 18, 37
Mon Nov 24, 2025 - 12:48 pm ESTMon Nov 24, 2025 - 12:48 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV, in a new apostolic letter, recalls the Nicene Creed in its original form — without the Filioque — as the foundation of the Christian faith, emphasizing the primacy of the ecumenical path. On Sunday, November 23, the Pope published an apostolic letter dedicated to the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, In Unitate Fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”), in which he proposes renewed momentum for an ecumenical profession of faith. “We share the same faith in the one and only God, the Father of all people; we confess together the one Lord and true Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the one Holy Spirit, who inspires us and impels us towards full unity and the common witness to the Gospel. Truly, what unites us is much greater than what divides us,” wrote the Pontiff. In the text, aimed at promoting the unity of Christians with reference to the first professions of faith, Pope Leo XIV cites the …
Tucho Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, released on November 25 the document on monogamy, titled ‘Una caro. Elogio della monogamia’. This 156-paragraph, 40-page text essentially compiles what has been said throughout history about matrimony, from the Book of Genesis and the Church Fathers to Popes, philosophers, pagan cultures, and poets. For example, Fernández quotes Hindu sources such as the Manusmṛti, the Bhagavata Purana and the Thirukkural to affirm the value of monogamy. The document was written after discussions with African Bishops on polygamy and also on polyamorous relations, growing in the West. During the press conference, Tucho couldn’t help himself but make a pro-homosexual “joke”. He said that about how 40 years ago, people used to say that Romans had a wife, but they also had another woman and another man. In the document itself, Tucho does not appear to have committed one of his usual doctrinal errors, nor does he seem to have granted …More
I believe this is a diversion tactic, to take the mind of the Laity off the Pope Leo visit to Turkey to help promote his one world church. Just like when Jimmy Martin pisses everyone off, Captian (Asspacker) Cupich immediately chimes out loud to put the bullseye elsewhere. Other that than - this unholy fag is an abomination
Overflow With Grace Before The Hour Comes The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the Lord’s return, not by focusing on our own salvation, but by striving to love God more. This love should be pure and selfless, not driven by personal gain or comparison to others, but by a genuine desire to reciprocate God’s love. By focusing on loving God more, we naturally align ourselves with His will and ensure our readiness for His return. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.
