In these days, once again our nation turns its eyes toward the border. Emotions run high. Accusations fly freely. Cries for compassion echo from many quarters – including from within the Church herself. These conversations are necessary. But they must be rooted in truth. For compassion without truth is not charity; it is sentiment divorced from justice The Church must always be a mother – never a manager. She must always love – never exploit. She must always speak – never remain silent when souls are endangered. The Church is called by Christ to welcome the stranger, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, and to care for the vulnerable. These are not optional works of mercy; they flow from the Gospel itself. At the same time, the Church is also bound to uphold justice, order, and the common good. These are not opposing principles. They are inseparable. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches clearly that political authorities have the right and the duty to regulate migration in …More
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is standing room only. Thousands of pilgrims, hundreds of clergy, and dozens of bishops filled the church tonight for the Opening Mass of the National Prayer Vigil for Life — united in prayer for the protection of every human life.
Well they got a nice sized crowd in D.C. at least. From where I'm at, the "March for Life" was very low-key & downplayed. Used to be they sent all types of youth groups, seminarians, etc to the March. But this year- NOTHING except a mention at Mass yesterday, and that NOT even in the homily but only opening remarks and "prayers of the faithful" [General Intercessions] that made sure to "balance" the Right to Life with all sorts of seamless garment stuff like immigration, poverty, & mental health!

The Catholic parish of Guissona, a small town in the province of Lleida in Catalonia, Spain, has introduces passages from the Quran into its Epiphany celebration on January 5, during a traditional procession, reports InfoVaticana.com. The parish wrote on its Instagram account that the initiative forms part of what it described as an “inclusive process” developed over the past two years. This process takes into account “the religion of the different kings and pages” participating in the celebration. During the ceremony, passages from the Quran were read alongside the Gospels. The parish, which belongs to the Catholic Diocese of Urgell, defended the decision as a way of conveying a shared “message of peace” among people of different faiths. Furthermore, the kissing of the statue of the Baby Jesus was omitted. The parish explained that such a gesture was considered inappropriate for Muslims. #newsIeavpfurgw
2 Timothy 4:3-4 "For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts, and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables."

Goon Squad Jan. 20, 2026 nytimes.com/2026/01/20/opinion/trump-vance- … By Thomas B. Edsall Mr. Edsall contributes a weekly column from Washington, D.C., on politics, demographics and inequality. In theory, Immigration and Customs Enforcement describes itself as “the Department of Homeland Security’s premier law enforcement agency, mitigating transnational threats and safeguarding our nation, communities, lawful immigration, trade, travel and financial systems.” In practice, the Trump administration has turned legions of ICE agents into a violent and unaccountable domestic police force, empowered by claims of immunity to exercise force against American citizens and immigrants alike. A 233-page court order issued Nov. 20 by Sara L. Ellis, a federal judge in the Northern District of Illinois, reveals the scope of duplicity, lying and open abuse of power by ICE and Homeland Security officials. She addressed civilian complaints that ICE violated constitutional rights during its pursuit …More

Vatican employees are “demotivated, tired of their complicated relationship with curial leadership, and often even bullied”. This is the result of the first representative survey conducted among Vatican staff. The poll was carried out between 15 September and 7 January and drew responses from 250 employees, 80% of them members of the ADLV, an internal association similar to a union. Trade unions are not formally recognized in the Vatican. The Holy See employs about 4,200 people, most of whom are not members of the ADLV, reportedly for fear of internal repercussions. The survey paints a bleak picture of working conditions under Pope Francis, described as marked by “extremely high points of friction.” The arrival of Pope Leo XIV has raised cautious hopes, notably after he restored the conclave bonus that Francis had abolished. Key findings underline widespread discontent: - 75.9% say human resources are poorly placed, valued, and motivated. - 73.9% perceive a disconnect between workers …More

Anti-Catholicism is increasingly being ignored and worse is that it is actively being facilitated to the point of the purposely hidden martyrdom of many Catholics. This is the reason that the world is in the state of collapse, demolition, and in a state in which the domination of EVIL is being openly celebrated by those who are bought and paid for by the billionaire class for them to do their best to be placed and to remain protected in their positions within the "high places" such as Bondi has now revealed.
The Holy See’s labor office is pushing back on claims of widespread worker dissatisfaction after an internal survey by the Association of Vatican Lay Employees (ADLV) alleged distrust of leadership and instances of workplace bullying. In an interview with the official Vatican News outlet, Monsignor Marco Sprizzi, president of the Office of Labor of the Apostolic See (ULSA), said his office “always has its doors open” and stressed that its mission is to ensure “there are no situations in which employees’ rights are not respected or are violated in any way.” “It doesn’t seem to me that the discontent is widespread,” Sprizzi said, noting that the survey sample was “very small,” amounting to “less than 5% of employees.”
He was a Modernist revolutionary - albeit one of the more pleasant ones. However, he did angrily criticize the lifting of the excommunications of the SSPX bishops (and I thought argued disingenuously). I have prayed for his soul.
