On this episode of The John Henry Westen Show is Father Michael Mary Sim, the founder and superior of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (Transalpine Redemptorists) religious congregation. We discussed the community’s recent letter denouncing the “Synodal Church,” their bishop’s attempt to expel them, and more. First we briefly discussed the history of the Transalpine Redemptorists, who were founded under the auspices of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), as well as their 2024 expulsion from their diocese in New Zealand. Then I asked Fr. Michael Mary about the congregation’s October open letter repudiating the “Synodal Church” and why they decided to write it now after suffering through the Francis pontificate without making similar statements. The priest emphasized that what really led to that letter was Pope Francis’ stunning remarks last year that “every religion is a way to arrive at God,” delivered to an ecumenical group of young people in Singapore …More
Bishop Schneider promotes and celebrates the Mass in the Roman Rite, yet it is rarely celeberated in Kazakhstan, he told Adrian Milag in an online interview. Main points, video sequence below. - We have no altar girls in all Kazakhstan. It is banned. No women, no altar girls. - We have no Eucharistic ministers at all. - The only ordinary form to receive Holy Communion is kneeling and on the tongue, with the paten. There is no other possibility except for the sick. - Thanks be to God, our liturgies are very worthy… even in the Novus Ordo. - The people are pious and devoted. They don’t know the Latin Mass and some don’t even feel the necessity. If there would be a greater movement, it would be possible also. But until now we have not these considerable groups. - I celebrate in my private episcopal chapel the traditional Latin Mass and when I am teaching in the seminary, I also celebrate for the seminarians. - True ecumenism is that non-Catholics come back to the Church and embrace all …More
A Pakistani migrant Mohammad Danyal sexually assaulted a 14 year old Christian girl in UK. When the girl screamed for help, the local people caught him. Shamelessly Mohammed Daniyal has started giving justification that he is muslim & this is justified for him by Allah.
Mary's Immaculate Conception Reveals God's Perfect Plan The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary celebrates her conception without original sin, a unique grace bestowed upon her by God. Unlike Adam and Eve, she was conceived without sin, making her the holiest human person. Her fullness of grace, a gift from God, was present from conception and grew throughout her life. She is the only human person to live a sinless life, fulfilling God’s original intention for humanity. As the mother of Jesus, she was chosen from all eternity to be pure and perfect, free from sin even in the womb. This celebration challenges us to strive for holiness and live for God’s glory, as Mary did. God’s grace enables us to exist for His glory, a gift requiring our cooperation. Fr.

When we started Gloria.tv almost twenty years ago, we had no idea that you were supposed to have serious start-up capital and a polished financial plan. Thank God we didn’t know! In hindsight, we believe that it is an act of Divine Providence that Gloria.tv has worked all these years. Being chronically underfunded has taught us: - to complain and whine to Saint Joseph - to count every penny and dispense with necessary equipment - to trust in God, because we never lacked what we needed to pay our bills, not once. We can't express how grateful we are also to YOU for that! The upside of lacking a business plan is independence. There are no favours to return, no hidden sponsors waiting for a call-back, and no tribal axe to grind. Gloria.tv is beholden to God and, at its best, serves the Church, the truth and, at least, freedom. As a social media platform, Gloria.tv is unique among Catholic sites and thus makes a real difference online. Just like 18 years ago, we still don't have a Plan …More
If you are unable to make a financial contribution, are based in a poor country, or already have too many other responsibilities, please say a prayer to St Joseph for Gloria.tv.

Voice of "The Baroness" “A priest is a lover of God, a priest is a lover of men, a priest is a holy man because he walks before the face of the All-Holy. A priest understands all things, a priest forgives all things, a priest encompasses all things. The heart of a priest is pierced, like Christ’s, with the lance of love. The heart of a priest is open, like Christ’s, for the whole world to walk through. The heart of a priest is a vessel of compassion, the heart of a priest is a chalice of love, the heart of a priest is a trysting place of human and divine love. A priest is a man whose goal is to be another Christ; a priest is a man who lives to serve. A priest is a man who has crucified himself so that he too may be lifted up and draw all things to Christ. A priest is a man in love with God. A priest is a gift of God to man and of man to God. A priest is a symbol of the Word made flesh, a priest is the naked sword of God’s justice, a priest is the hand of God’s mercy, a priest is the …More
More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
Come adore the wondrous Presence Bow to Christ the source of Grace Here is kept the ancient promise of God's earthly dwelling place Sight is blind before God's Glory Faith alone may see His face.
St. Louis De Montfort's Prayer to Jesus -- O most loving Jesus, deign to let me pour forth my gratitude before Thee, for the grace Thou hast bestowed upon me in giving me to Thy holy Mother through the devotion of Holy Bondage, that she may be my advocate in the presence of Thy majesty and my support in my extreme misery. Alas, O Lord! I am so wretched that without this dear Mother I should be certainly lost. Yes, Mary is necessary for me at Thy side and everywhere that she may appease Thy just wrath, because I have so often offended Thee; that she may save me from the eternal punishment of Thy justice, which I deserve; that she may contemplate Thee, speak to Thee, pray to Thee, approach Thee and please Thee; that she may help me to save my soul and the souls of others; in short, Mary is necessary for me that I may always do Thy holy will and seek Thy greater glory in all things. Ah, would that I could proclaim throughout the whole world the mercy that Thou hast shown to me ! Would that …More
To serve Mary and to be her courtier is the greatest honor we can ever possess. For to serve the Queen of Heaven is already to reign on high, and to live under her commands is a greater thing than to govern." Saint John of Damascus
Diocese of Palmerston North, NZ, will convene parish-level discussions “to explore … posture during the Eucharistic Prayer,” aiming to adopt a common posture across the diocese.
Pope Leo XIV says he thinks Donald Trump is trying to break apart the alliance between the United States and Europe: “The remarks that were made about Europe also in interviews recently, I think, are trying to break apart what I think needs to be a very important alliance today and in the future.”
Robert Prevost has "de facto" nullified the requirement for salvation that all human beings receive the sacrament of Baptism and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This evening, Pope Leo XIV participated in a niche interreligious gathering organised by the Sant’Egido Community at the Colosseum. At the beginning, Andrea Riccardi emphasised that “the Spirit of Assisi still blows”. Representatives of various religions were present, including Christian sects, as well as representatives of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and other faiths. Together, they lit small candles. Leo XIV held a speech praising the false religions and spiritualties. His key points were: - We have prayed for peace according to our diverse religious traditions. - This is our witness: offering the immense treasures of ancient spiritualities to contemporary humanity. - On 27 October 1986, Saint John Paul IIinvited religious leaders from around the world to Assisi to pray for peace. This historic event marked a turning point in interfaith relations. - We embrace the challenge of Assisi and the awareness of our shared task and responsibility for peace. - For the Catholic Church …More
Is there a definitive cause for the collapse in religious vocations? In this Pints With Aquinas episode, host Matt Fradd asks Sister Miriam Heidland, SOLT, a pressing question: Why are there so few religious sisters today? “I think part of it is the attack on spiritual motherhood and spiritual fatherhood…really, it’s the attack on man and woman, and like, who are we?” she begins. Sister Miriam then shares a personal story and offers her opinion on why there are fewer vocations to the religious life today. “I was talking with the bishop many months ago, and he was saying that in the 1960s…there was a religious community in Wisconsin that was receiving a hundred women a year. 100 women! And they built a brand new novitiate, and then by 1972, they were receiving just four,” she says. At this point in her conversation with the bishop, Sister Miriam says, he posed the question: “Women still have the capacity to say ‘yes’ to this divine invitation. What is preventing them?” Sister Miriam …
