"For centuries, the visions of Saint Hildegard of Bingen have been studied by historians, theologians, and scholars of medieval spirituality. In this video, we explore what Saint Hildegard actually wrote in her works, including Scivias, and how her symbolic language has been interpreted over time. Rather than making predictions about specific events, Hildegard described moral, spiritual, and social patterns that she believed shaped human history. Her imagery — including ideas about balance, decline, renewal, and human responsibility — has often been revisited in different historical periods. Some readers find her warnings timeless, while others see them as reflections of the medieval world in which she lived." Kind of long YT Video >>> youtube.com/watch?v=3sZzLfqF8N0
The Door of Humility: Entering the Place Where Christ Was Born — Church of the Nativity Bethlehem—whose name in Hebrew means “House of Bread”—holds a place of profound significance in the Christian world. It was here that Mary and Joseph found refuge in a stable, and where Mary gave birth to Jesus, ‘the Bread of Life’. Over this sacred grotto, the Church of the Nativity was built, transforming a humble place of divine intervention into one of Christianity’s most treasured pilgrimage sites. The Church of the Nativity is among the oldest continuously functioning churches in existence. It was originally commissioned in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother, Saint Helena, who identified the grotto as the true site of Christ’s birth. Dedicated in 339 AD, the first basilica drew pilgrims from across the Roman Empire. Although the original structure was destroyed, Byzantine Emperor Justinian rebuilt a grander version in the 6th century, parts of which remain today …More
+++Prophesies of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich+++ “The Church is in great danger… I see that in this place [Rome] the [Catholic] Church is being so cleverly undermined, that there will hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived. They all work for destruction, even the clergy. The great devastation is now at hand.” “The Church is the only one, the Roman Catholic! And if there were left upon earth but one Catholic, he would be the one, universal Church, the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ against which the gates of Hell shall never prevail.”
Tue Dec 16, 2025 - 4:31 pm ESTTue Dec 16, 2025 - 4:41 pm EST (Lepanto Institute) — In 2021, we published a report on several Tennessee organizations receiving funding from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). The various organizations were involved in some degree in the promotion of abortion and/or LGBT ideologies. MICAH was caught as a member of Power Together Tennessee, which had taken a formal position in full support of abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and transgenderism. That report can be viewed here. Over the course of the last three years, MICAH has received two grants for a combined total of $100,000; $50,000 in 2022-2023, and $50,000 in 2023-2024. In this update, we find that the president of the organization is a radical proponent of abortion and LGBT ideologies. The president of MICAH is Rev. Dr. Rosaylin Nichols. Rosalyn Nichols is quite vocal in her support for abortion. On March 1, 2025, Nichols posted a message falsely claiming that if one …
Professor James Tour from Rice University, in Houston, Texas, is internationally known and respected among organic chemists. In the interview linked below, he talks to Carlson about the theory evolution that is commonplace thinking and taught in our educational institutions. Except that he thinks it's a myth. He also talks about super human beings, the dangers of genetic engineering and how little we know about the complexities and origin of life. What I found most interesting is that Tour as a respected scientist isn't afraid to share his belief in God. He's a Christian but was born in a Jewish family. He believes that science supports the idea of a creator. Science and faith are not mutually exclusive. Science can help answer the questions of faith. In fact, Tour argues that science provides much evidence for belief. Amway, watch the interview and come to your own conclusion. From the Gospel of St. John 1:1-14: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word …

Chile Has Elected a Catholic President: José Antonio Kast Rist won Chile’s presidential runoff on 14 December, defeating Communist candidate Jeannette Jara. A lawyer and leader of the Republican Party, Kast campaigned on security and economic issues while strongly defending pro-life, pro-family, and religious values. Born in Santiago in 1966 to a deeply Catholic family of German descent, Kast is married with nine children and is a member of the Schönstatt Movement. He will take office as president on 11 March 2026. During the presidential campaign, Kast publicly reaffirmed his convictions: “We are going to talk about God again, about our country, and about family. These are the values that have sustained our country's strength, and we must not be afraid of what others may say”, he said.
Nowadays with the term 'Catholic' apparently being made out of spandex, it is a reasonable question (particularly of politicians with a penchant for wearing their faith-creds on their sleeves!)

Pope Leo XIV is expected to appoint the handsome Bishop Ronald Hicks, 58, of Joliet, Illinois, as the 11th Archbishop of New York, replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan. The rumour was spread by the Spanish-language outlet ReligionDigital.org on December 15 and confirmed by several journalists citing “independent sources.” The appointed is expected for December 18. Liberal journalist Christopher Hale was told: “This is a Chicago priest, advocated by Cardinal Cupich, appointed by a Chicago pope.” Hale describes Bishop Hicks as “more progressive than Cardinal Dolan.” Spiritual hero is Óscar Romero When he began as Bishop of Joliet in 2020, he wore a small photo of Archbishop Óscar Romero of San Salvador on the lapel of his jacket. Romero is a hero of politicized liberation theology. Monsignor Hicks had served as a missionary in El Salvador (2005-2010). Ally of Cardinal Blase Cupich Monsignor Hicks’s relationship with the pro-homosexual Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich is both structural and …More

Catholic teaching holds that marriage is for life. Yet 28 percent of U.S. Catholics divorce. To remarry in the church, and avoid what Catholicism considers adultery, they must secure annulments from tribunals holding their marriages invalid at the time of the wedding. With a success rate of nearly100percent, annulments have come to be viewed as entitlements. By contrast, Catholic spouses striving to honor their vows find little support from a church that seems to have adopted a U.S. divorce culture mentality. Pope Leo alluded to this crisis during his recent address to the Roman Rota, which hears annulment appeals and regularly overturns decisions by U.S. tribunals. “I think the prevalence of affirmatives has certainly added to people’s concepts that annulments is purely a process rather than a real trial,” said Father Andrew Larkin, a priest and defender of the marriage bond in Savannah’s tribunal. “But I think the divorce factor is huge. I think one of the things that is …
Is the annulment of the Catholic SACRAMENTAL MARRIAGE nothing more than equal to a civil divorce today versus the the Truth of ALMIGHTY GOD? In too many Catholic divorces, it is anathema in opposition to the mandate of JESUS CHRIST which means that the annulments are invalid.
Leo, like Francis, in saying "most" or the "vast majority" of marriages are invalid is just giving a green light to those unhappy to leave one's spouse for another. What about the canonical principle that a marriage is considered valid unless it can BE PROVED to have been null to begin with? For shame!
In an unusually candid interview with IlTempo.it on December 15, Archbishop Georg Gänswein spoke about his relationship with Pope Francis, his reassignment after the death of Benedict XVI, and his role in publishing unpublished sermons of Benedict XVI. Main quotes. Return to Freiburg After Benedict XVI’s Death “As soon as Benedict XVI's funeral was over, Pope Francis decided that I should immediately return to my home diocese of Freiburg. However, in a move that was highly unusual for the secretary of a deceased pontiff, I was not assigned any duties.” “Even some people who were not exactly friends confided to me that this treatment of me had indeed been excessively harsh.” The Request for an Audience With Pope Francis “A year later, on 31st December 2023, on the first anniversary of Benedict XVI's death, I came to Rome to celebrate Mass at the altar of St Peter's Chair and another near his tomb in the Vatican Grottoes.” “It was one of the Memores Domini who advised me to request an …More
Nothing on Amazon Synod and forcing Pope Benedict to retract his signature from the book he co-authored with card Sarah - which happened to save the celibacy? Does jailer Gänswein think we forget the dirty job he did for his boss - the false prophet Bergoglio? Gotta love these crocodile tears over Bergoglio's feint attack on his most loyal servant, Gänswein
