Catholicism Declines Across Latin America As More Identify With No Religion

More fruits of the spirit of Vatican II.
The Catholic Church’s long-dominant hold on Latin America is continuing to loosen, even as most people across the region remain deeply religious, according to new survey data from the Pew Research Center.
Across six of Latin America’s most populous nations — Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru — the share of adults who identify as Catholic has dropped sharply over the past decade, according to a
new Pew Research Center study released on Wednesday.
At the same time, Pew found that a growing proportion of Latin Americans now describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated, saying they are either atheist, agnostic or have no particular faith tradition.
Catholicism, however, remains the region’s largest religious tradition, but its numerical dominance has weakened in recent years. Today, Catholics account for between 46% and 67% of adults in each of the six countries surveyed. In contrast, Pew said the share of adults who are …

Saint Valerius of Zaragoza - January 29
Saint Valerius of Saragossa (Spanish: San Valero) (d. 315 AD) is the patron saint of Saragossa. He was bishop of this city from 290 until his death. He assisted at the Council of Elvira.[1] His feast day is January 29.
Valerian was bishop of Caesaraugustana (Saragossa) from 290 until 315. There are few records of Valerius but tradition holds that he had a speech impediment, and that the deacon, Vincent of Saragossa, acted as his spokesman.[2]
Both Valerius and Vincent suffered imprisonment under Diocletian. Vincent was martyred at Valencia. Valerius was exiled for a time to a place called Enet, near Barbastro,[1] but is known to have been present at the Council Elvira, (ca.306).[3]
His relics were discovered around 1050. An idealised portrait of this Bishop is found in the magnificent Pantaleão, Zaragoza.
A chapel dedicated to him can be found at La Seo Cathedral. It includes a baroque entryway of gilded wood from the seventeenth …More

Pray as though everything depended on GOD.
Work as though everything depended on you.
This is great advice, which I think came from Saint Augustine.
This should motivate against sloth for those clergy who KNOW THAT ANTIPOPE Prevost is attempting to be the successor of ANTIPOPE bergoglio to carry out the destruction of the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH which JESUS CHRIST instituted.

Clintons face contempt of Congress charges, potential jail time over Epstein probe

Published January 21, 2026 12:30pm EST
Lawmakers speak on Clintons refusing to testify
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) talks to reporters along with other lawmakers on Bill and Hillary Clinton refusing to testify in an investigation of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
House Republicans are pushing to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress over the Jeffrey Epstein probe, a move that, if successful, could send them to prison.
It’s the latest turn in the years-long Epstein saga, as Congress investigates how he was able to sexually abuse dozens of teenage girls for years.
Clintons in contempt?
Big picture view:
The Oversight Committee chair, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, initiated the contempt proceedings after the Clintons refused for months to testify in the panel’s Epstein probe, despite being issued subpoenas to do so. While the charges have historically been …

Homosexual atheist Yuval Harari says AI will 'take over religion' during Davos speech - LifeSite

Wed Jan 21, 2026 - 5:20 pm EST
(
LifeSiteNews) — Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari couched a chilling prediction within a warning at the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland: Artificial Intelligence (AI) will soon control not only most of the world’s legal, education, and healthcare systems, “AI will take over religion.”
“This is particularly true of religions based on books, like Islam, Christianity, and Judaism,” the homosexual atheist claimed.
“Anything made of words will be taken over by AI,” said Harari, so, “What happens to a religion of the book when the greatest expert on the holy book is an AI?”
Harari said there are three important things to know about AI: First, it is not a “tool” but an “agent.” It can learn and change by itself and make decisions by itself.
Second, AI “can be a very creative agent.”
Third, and most alarmingly, he warned, “AI can lie and manipulate.”
“Four billion years of evolution have demonstrated that anything that wants …

Seeking Transparency in the Holy See

Demotivated, tired due to the complicated relationship with the curial leadership, and often even mobbed: the Pope's employees wish to work in a more transparent system where meritocracy is rewarded.

Most Vatican workers – about 4200 people – are not members of the association, mainly due to fear of internal repercussions …

"The abduction of Venezuela’s head of state (which cost eighty Venezuelan lives and was not preceded by a declaration of war) and his arraignment before a New York court epitomises how far secularist Western society has departed from the old Christian West.

Secularism, the new barbarism?

The abduction of Venezuela’s head of state (which cost eighty Venezuelan lives and was not preceded by a declaration of war) and his arraignment before a New York court epitomises how far secularist Western society has departed from the old Christian West.
In more Christian times, regardless of the moral caliber of a society’s leader, he was treated with respect by other states because of his position, no matter the ferocity of their differences.
Here are a couple of examples:
During the Hundred Years War, John II of France was captured at the Battle of Poitiers (1356): While surrounded, he continued fighting until a French exile in the service of England, Denis de Morbecque, offered him an honourable surrender: “Sire, I am a knight of Artois. Yield yourself to me and I will lead you to the Prince of Wales”.
That night he was waited upon at dinner by Edward, the “Black Prince”. Records show that, while in captivity in England, he lived in the Savoy Palace, purchased pets and clothes …

Vatican Denies Rumor That Pope Leo XIV Refused Audience to President Macron

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni has denied to journalist Matteo Matzuzzi as “completely false” the fake news claiming that Pope Leo XIV refused to grant French President Emmanuel Macron an audience.
The rumours began circulating widely on January 20. The implausible story claimed that Pope Leo XIV had refused to receive Macron because of the new stained-glass windows in Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
In reality, there has been no refusal, no cancelled audience, and no diplomatic incident between Leo XIV and the French president.
The unfounded report alleged:
- Pope Leo XIV was irritated with Emmanuel Macron and had cancelled a planned meeting
- The Pope considered the replacement of the stained-glass windows at Notre-Dame Cathedral a “travesty”
- French euthanasia legislation had provoked Vatican anger
- The climate between France and the Holy See was “toxic”
The fake news attributed these statements to Vatican archivist and librarian Monsignor Giovanni Cesare Pagazzi.

Former DEA agent sentenced to prison
A former DEA agent, charged in 2019 and convicted in 2024 of aiding drug dealers has been sentenced to five years in prison.
WGRZ-TV
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — In two decades of kicking in doors for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Joseph Bongiovanni often took on the risks of being the “lead breacher," meaning he was the first person into the room.
On Wednesday, he felt a familiar uncertainty awaiting sentencing for using his DEA badge to protect childhood friends who became prolific drug traffickers in Buffalo, New York.
“I never knew what was on the other side of that door — that fear is what I feel today,” Bongiovanni, 61, told a federal judge, pounding the defense table as his face reddened with emotion. “I've always been innocent. I loved that job.”
