These same following Holy Scriptures apply to the True Catholic Church approved authentic messages our Lady of FATIMA, the Fatima witnesses, the existing Fatima documentation, and the truth regardless of the stiff-necked who are authorizing themselves as chris griffin who attempt to lead others to follow his false opinions - 32 And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him. 33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them [the apostles] to death. 34 But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while. 35 And he said to them; Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves, what you are about to do with these men. 36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be some body, whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined; who was slain: and all who believed him, were …More
Parish in Charlotte Diocese Keeps Kneelers: The parish St Mark in Huntersville, NC, will keep its kneelers for Communion after all. The pastor had floated a “voluntary” removal following a presbyteral council meeting where Bishop Michael Martin requested they be taken away. Parishioners pushed back with firm, respectful petitions, and this week the pastor confirmed the kneelers will remain in use.
One church in the Diocese of Charlotte has announced they will NOT REMOVE KNEELERS following petitions from parishioners.
Quite true, Tom, although, I suspect that these two terms should be written as "everything" and "nothing" since one of the greatest deceptions humans have fallen prey to is thinking we actually know what either of those words mean given that we typically assess them in an earthly or secular way. Our Lord appeared to have "nothing" but He gave us Everything in its most universal meaning.
Leo XIV's remarks on the German Synodal Way, given on the plane yesterday. He was as Cardinal involved in the Vatican negotiations with the delegation of German bishops.
03.12.2025 Feast of St. Francis Xavier ARCHBISHOP RINO FISICHELLA AGREES THAT VATICAN COUNCIL II IS ECCLESIOCENTRIC AND TRADTIONAL AND NOT LIBERAL : NO DENIAL Archbishop Rino Fisichella agrees with me. Vatican Council II is ecclesiocentric and traditional and not liberal. LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are always invisible. There is no denial here. LG 8 etc do not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442. Neither are they objective exceptions for Ad Gentes 7 which says all need faith and baptism for salvation and so is aligned with EENS. Ad Gentes 7 is also aligned with the Athanasius Creed which says all need to be Catholic for salvation from Hell. The Athanasius Creed without exceptions is a de fide teaching of the Catholic Church which all Catholics including the pope must accept. With Archbishop Fisichella’s rational interpretation of Vatican Council II, like me, Pope Leo needs to correct his interpretation of Vatican Council II …More
'Cast a look round the world, just observe the manner of living, of speaking, and you will see immediately whether the evil of sin is known in the world or whether any attention is paid to it. Not to speak of those who live decidedly irreligious and wicked lives, how few are those who pass for good and who approach the sacraments are aware of the great evil that sin is, and the great ruin it brings with it. It must necessarily happen that, on account of this certainly culpable ignorance in which most men live, an enormous number will come to be damned, because no sin is pardoned which is not detested, and it is impossible to detest sin properly if it is not known as such.' St. Joseph Cafasso 'There are many who arrive at the faith, but few that are lead into the heavenly kingdom.' Pope St. Gregory the Great, Doctor and Father of the Church 'It is as though Jesus said: "O My Father, I am indeed going to clothe myself with human flesh, but the greater part of the world will set no value …More
On Sunday, 14 December at 8:30 p.m., the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio in Milan will host a historic event: Canon Don Francesco Braschi will celebrate a Mass in the ancient Ambrosian Rite according to the 1954 missal—the first at the High Altar in fifty-three years.
Per la prima volta in quasi 50 anni, domenica 14 dicembre alle ore 20:30, in occasione dell'Anno Giubilare, sarà celebrata una Messa Solenne secondo l'antico rito ambrosiano (libri liturgici del 1954) nella Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio a Milano, proprio sulla tomba di Sant'Ambrogio. La teologia cattolica insegna tradizionalmente che solo gli esseri dotati di anima razionale e immortale – gli esseri umani e gli angeli – possono raggiungere la visione beatifica.
2. December 2025 2. December 2025 12/02/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. When several readers pointed out in the comments yesterday that I had presented incorrect information in the article They will go to the slaughter themselves, I did what I should have done before publishing: I read the book from which I had quoted yesterday. And indeed: The quotes were nowhere to be found because they weren’t in the book. I’ve often avoided such mistakes, but unfortunately not this time. I wrote a correction, but had to leave the original text unchanged, otherwise new readers wouldn’t have understood what I was trying to correct. I am no exception either—I make mistakes. He who plants trees knowing that he will never sit in their shade has at least begun to understand the meaning of life. You probably know people who ask for help, for example, with choosing a career. As soon as you present them with ideas, each one is supported with countless reasons why it’s impossible to implement. Some …
A resurfaced 2014 video shows Pope Leo XIV singing “Feliz Navidad” with a local band in Peru. He joins in the clapping, and the audience cheers when he finishes.
So what? He is celebrating Christmas with his community. Doesn't look liturgical at all to me, but just a celebration. He probably has a good singing voice.
