The first premise is to believe in God. Later on that belief can grow because of grace into accepting the Triune God, and then finally into the Roman Catholic Church.
Obviously an old post - it's too late to pray that Francis die "repentant." that ship has sailed. While true that ONLY God judges & knows, it doesn't look good from what information we have.
Our Lady of The Holy Chapel - December 13th, 2025 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her.

Canadian Bill Criminalizes Quoting Holy Scripture: In Canada, Bill C-9 would amend the Criminal Code by removing the religious exemption in Section 319(3)(b). The change could allow quoting Holy Scripture in good faith to be prosecuted as hate speech, with penalties of up to two years in prison. The proposal comes from the Liberal government. The Canadian Bishops' Conference has formally opposed the bill in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, warning of legal uncertainty for clergy, educators, and believers and a restriction of religious freedom.
"23. And after a few years I was again in Britain with my parents [kinsfolk], and they welcomed me as a son, and asked me, in faith, that after the great tribulations I had endured I should not go anywhere else away from them. And, of course, there, in a vision of the night, I saw a man whose name was Victoricus coming as if from Ireland with innumerable letters, and he gave me one of them, and I read the beginning of the letter: “The Voice of the Irish”; and as I was reading the beginning of the letter I seemed at that moment to hear the voice of those who were beside the forest of Foclut which is near the western sea, and they were crying as if with one voice: “We beg you, holy youth, that you shall come and shall walk again among us.” And I was stung intensely in my heart so that I could read no more, and thus I awoke. Thanks be to God, because after so many years the Lord bestowed on them according to their cry."
[Saint Patrick - mid-fifth to early-sixth century; Roman Britain/Ireland; Missionary, Bishop; Apostle of Ireland] “20. The very same night while I was sleeping Satan attacked me violently, as I will remember as long as I shall be in this body; and there fell on top of me as it were, a huge rock, and not one of my members had any force. But from whence did it come to me, ignorant in the spirit, to call upon Helias? And meanwhile I saw the sun rising in the sky, and while I was crying out “Helias, Helias” with all my might, lo, the brilliance of that sun fell upon me and immediately shook me free of all the weight; and I believe that I was aided by Christ my Lord, and that his Spirit then was crying out for me, and I hope that it will be so in the day of my affliction, just as it says in the Gospel: “In that hour”, the Lord declares, “it is not you who speaks but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.” 21. And a second time, after many years, I was taken captive. On the first night …More
Pope Leo: "I prefer to pray in a Catholic church, in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament" While meeting journalists in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV was asked why he had not prayed— “at least not visibly”—during his visit to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul on his First Apostolic Journey to Turkey and Lebanon. The Pope responded with a gentle smile: “Who said I didn’t pray? … And perhaps I’m praying even now.” He went on to explain, “I prefer to pray in a Catholic church, in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament,” calling the attention surrounding the incident “a bit… curious.” shalomworldnews
Papa Leone XIV in risposta ad una “curiosa” osservazione: «Preferisco pregare alla presenza del Santissimo Sacramento» Significativa la risposta che Papa Leone XIV offre con cortesia al giornalista che lo interroga sulla mancata preghiera nella moschea Sultan Ahmed (nota come la Moschea Blu) durante la recente visita a Istanbul.

Analysis by the Mail on Sunday of publicly-available information shows one grant recipient was Professor Neil Ferguson, one of the biggest advocates for vaccines and whose advice to Prime Minister Boris Johnson led to the UK lockdown in March 2020, and who famously resigned as a government adviser two months later after it emerged he broke rules to meet his married lover. The above quote is from Saturday’s Daily Mail article: Scientists who advised government during Covid did not reveal they had received more than £200m in grants from one of the world’s biggest pharma investors. With each passing day, more and more details emerge about the elaborate, sophisticated plan imposed on the world in the guise of a pandemic crisis. Covert subsidies for “scientific” purposes—corrupt professors who laid the groundwork for a non-existent pandemic—have been exposed. So many people died from asymptomatic COVID! We …
“There have been endless dialogues with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, but they simply circle around,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com on December 12. “There is no way around recognising the Second Vatican Council as the twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church.” He added: “The claim that the Lefebvrists are the last bastion of true Catholicity must finally come to an end.” At the same time, Cardinal Müller acknowledged that the Fraternity has correctly identified “the wounds inflicted on the Body of Christ by self-appointed reformers in the style of Modernism.” But, he insisted, “there is never a justification for distancing oneself from the Catholic Church — even though the Church is a mixture of saints and sinners.” For Cardinal Müller, the moment has come for “all Catholics to reunite in the truth of Christ, who in the person of St Peter and his successor, Pope Leo XIV, has established an enduring principle and foundation of …More
Interviewers need to begin pressing these waffling conservative cardinals by asking: Does not the Second Vatican Council have a relationship with the Protestant Reformation? If so--and it does--does not the solution for today have a relationship with the Counter-Reformation?
Louis IX There are two kinds of Catholics. Those who are modernist and ignorant. And then the Catholics who think they know it all and quote only some parts of the Bible. But never ever mention.... Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it "not" to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. Why does Trump arrest mostly those who work the farms? Work in factories? DC says, they arrest thousands everyday. But only the workers. They say, they caught a bunch …More
Indeed, anyone who supports lawlessness by Catholics can be considered to be in a deplorable state. The next time I visit Spain I suppose I should refuse to leave, join a gang, get on benefits and complain when I should rightly be thrown out on my keister.
“I am a consecrated person; I gave my life to God, so my life doesn’t belong to me,” Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, told NCRegister.com on December 12 about his offer to exchange himself for hostages in 2023. His flock includes about 190,000 Christians in Israel, 45,000 in the West Bank, and 500 in Gaza. Palestinian Christians in the West Bank, including Bethlehem, have been severely affected by the Gaza war, as tourism has nearly collapsed and work permits to Israel have been suspended. “This created a very problematic situation from the economic point of view,” the Cardinal said. The conflict has also intensified tensions between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, including settler attacks on Christian Palestinian communities. Cardinal Pizzaballa described the situation as “chaotic and very problematic,” adding: “What is scary for the people is that you don’t know how, when this will finish.” Despite this, he sees the U.S.-brokered ceasefire …More
There are many things to like and admire about this man. But, as in the American War of Northern Aggression (aka "the Civil War"), the battle for the Faith that continues and remains will see brother pitted against brother, friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor. There is no turning back from the battle between the Faith of 20 centuries and the counterfeit conciliar "church" of the past 60 years.+ Pizzaballa must see that if he doesn't get God right (and the mitered devotees of the past 60 years have gotten Him very wrong), all of humanity suffers.
If the Church tells you to sin, you do not have to obey. Instead of acting like a mother, the V2 church is feeding her children poison. Throughout the years some additions were made to the TLM, but nothing that was as dastardly as the reform of the Mass under Pope Paul VI.

Copy Link Copied Share via email Share on X Share on WhatsApp Share on LinkedIn Bart De Wever is holding out over fears Belgium will be on the hook should the money need to be paid back, and has now asked for more safety nets. | Dirik Mag/Getty Images December 10, 2025 10:38 pm CET BRUSSELS ― Europe’s strategy for convincing the Belgians to support its plan to fund Ukraine? Warn them they could be treated like Hungary. At their summit on Dec. 18, EU leaders’ key task will be to win over Bart De Wever, the bloc's latest bête noire. Belgium's prime minister is vetoing their efforts to pull together a €210 billion loan to Ukraine as it faces a huge financial black hole and as the war with Russian grinds on. De Wever has dug his heels in for so long over the plan to fund the loan using frozen Russian assets ― which just happen to be mostly housed …
