Cardinal Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo, emeritus of Caracas, was stopped from leaving Venezuela on December 10. Authorities at Simón Bolívar International Airport annulled his passport as he prepared to board a flight to Madrid. Officials informed him he was under a travel ban, confiscated his passport, and detained him for about two hours before sending him back to his residence. He was escorted even to go to the bathroom. Authorities claimed “non-compliance with travel regulations” and required Cardinal Porras to sign a document confirming he could not travel. The cardinal reported that when he attempted to photograph the document, he was threatened with arrest. He also said an officer told him he appeared as “deceased” in the government system, which was used to justify the passport cancellation. The incident follows growing tension between the Venezuelan government and the Church. Weeks earlier, Cardinal Porras had described the situation in Venezuela as “morally unacceptable …More

[Saint Anselm of Canterbury/Anselm of Aosta; XI-XII Century AD; Aosta, Kingdom of Burgundy, Holy Roman Empire/Canterbury, England; (aged 72); Italian Benedictine Monk; Archbishop; Abbot; Philosopher; Theologian; Doctor of the Church] “CHAPTER IV - How the fool has said in his heart what cannot be conceived But how has the fool said in his heart what he could not conceive; or how is it that he could not conceive what he said in his heart? Since it is the same to say in the heart, and to conceive. But, if really, nay, since really, he both conceived, because he said in his heart; and did not say in his heart, because he could not conceive; there is more than one way in which a thing is said in the heart or conceived. For, in one sense, an object is conceived, when the word signifying it is conceived; and in another, when the very entity, which the object is, is understood. In the former sense, then, God can be conceived not to exist; but in the latter, not at all. For no one who understands …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
Here's the architect of 'Traditionis Custodes.' In this video, Andrea Grillo launches into a delirious speech in support of the ordination of women. Just look at how impeccably “measured” he is, professionally speaking, and how reliable his argument sounds. He, the great champion of the fight against Summorum Pontificum and Benedict XVI.
He's making a logical argument. If it is acceptable for women to lead men in the private and public sphere, logically they can lead men in the ecclesial realm. The problem is that that it is unnatural for women to govern men in any sphere, domestic, public or ecclesial. 1 Cor 11:1-3.
09.12.2025 POPE LEO’S INTERPRETATION OF VATICAN COUNCIL II PRODUCES POLARIZATION : GERMAN MEDIA NOT CORRECTED Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally is a break with Tradition but the Council can also be interpreted rationally. To prevent war with Israel, Pope Leo must not change the ecclesiocentric interpretation of the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms. It is Pope Leo who now maintains ‘the polarization’, the division in the Church, by interpreting LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, and GS 22 etc irrationally. For me they are not explicit cases in 2025. So the Council is traditional. It in line with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) according to the missionaries and magisterium of the 16th century. In a recent interview with the German media, Cardinal Gerhardt Muller has cautioned the traditionalists (and progressivists). Why? Was he implying that LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, Gs 22 etc, were explicit exceptions for EENS and the rest of Tradition? The German progessivists do not …More
Prevost @Pontifex_es Great is the gift of the Immaculate Conception, but so too is the gift of Baptism that we have received. Wonderful is the "yes" of the Mother of the Lord, but ours can be as well, renewed each day with fidelity, gratitude, humility, and perseverance in prayer and in concrete works of love. Father Federico Palma @PadrePalma Translated from Spanish What bad taste to put "buts" or objections to the most important day of the Most Holy Virgin Mother of the Redeemer. But everything is for the "ecumenism" that arose from Vatican II, in order to curry favor with the Protestants, among other things. Prevost:"All Religions Are Mothers. All Believers are Brothers" Prevost promotes heresy on matters of faith and morals.
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.

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 …

The Archdiocese of New York on Monday announced it will set up a $300 million fund to compensate victims of sexual abuse who have sued the church. In a statement, Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the archdiocese would pay for the fund by reducing its budget and selling off assets, including completing the sale of its former headquarters in Manhattan, with the goal that the fund “can be set aside to provide compensation to survivors of sexual abuse.” The archdiocese has also agreed to engage retired Judge Daniel J. Buckley as a mediator between itself and victims to reach a settlement, Dolan said. Buckley had a similar role in negotiations between the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and more than 1,000 people there. A spokesperson for the archdiocese said church officials hope the fund would cover settlements for most, if not all of the roughly 1,300 outstanding claims against the archdiocese. The announcement came as a federal judge on Monday approved a settlement for the New Orleans Archdiocese…
Imagine the good that could have come about with that money. But, instead the shepherds protected priest molester perverts who destroyed the lives and souls of the innocent young. Disgusting.
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.
Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, the first indigenous saint of Mexico and the Americas Dear brothers and sisters, on December 9th, we celebrate the feast of Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, a poor Indian convert who, on December 9, 1531, was passing by the foot of Mount Tepeyac on his way to Mass. Suddenly, he heard a sweet song, like a flock of birds. Looking up, he saw a bright white cloud amidst a rainbow. An inexplicable joy gave wings to his feet, and he felt called to the mountaintop. He climbed and saw a beautiful Lady whose presence illuminated the plants, thorns, and stones. And she spoke to him in her Nahuatl language: "My son, Juan Diego, whom I love tenderly like a little child, where are you going?" "To Mass, Lady," Juan Diego replied. The beautiful Lady revealed Her identity: My dear son. I am Mary Ever Virgin, Mother of the True God, and it is my desire that a temple be built for me in this place, where, as a mother to you and your neighbors, I will show my loving kindness …More
Quit using woke words like indigenous. He was an Indian, as was taught for over 500 years. The word native is also woke. Everyone BORN in the USA is a native.
12/09/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The new US national security strategy has caused considerable confusion in European politics. What does it mean that NATO will no longer defend us in exchange for our subservient attitude towards the US? That was precisely the solid foundation on which most European politicians built their strategies. How convenient – they only have to nod and ignore American crimes, and they can save themselves the expense of armaments. What use is sovereignty, which is hardly monetizable? Although some politicians have managed to do so… And then suddenly: Save yourselves – Europe is threatened by independence from the US! The United States has no interest in investing in a Europe that is collapsing – economically and politically – on its own. You don’t feed parasites – it’s best to force them to take their fate into their own hands. With the current politicians of most European countries, that’s impossible. They live in a prehistoric Cold War world. …
Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti has criticised the Vatican study commission that has examined the impossibility of a female diaconate. In a post on his personal blog on 8 December, he argued that it was difficult to understand why the commission was unable to reach a definitive conclusion. According to Eleganti, "it is all too obvious that, despite the historical evidence, the goal is to keep the pot simmering — to keep the question open." He notes that church feminists already wear "fantasy stoles". He recalls that previous study commissions have repeatedly re-examined the historical record, only to arrive at the same results that have been known for decades. "Is it tragedy or comedy?" he asks. The bishop adds that the ancient deaconesses "were different from the deacons of their time and were shaped by cultural circumstances". Contradicting Sister Linda Pocher, who is presented publicly as a papal advisor, Eleganti insists that the Church's rejection of a sacramental female …More
Christ said that your yes must mean yes, and your no must mean no. Since V2 we hear doublespeak from the hierarchy. It is mamby pambyand all it does is confuse everyone. From this, sins can be committed because everything is fluid.
