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.
03.12.2025 Feast of St. Francis Xavier, patron of the missions in harmony with ecclesiocentric Vatican Council II and the Catechism of Pope John Paul II. FISICHELLA AND SPADERO ARE ALIGNED WITH ST. FRANCIS XAVIER WITH VATICAN COUNCIL IIRATIONAL Archbishop Rino Fisichella and Fr. Antonio Spadero sj, support the exclusivist ecclesiology of St. Francis Xavier and his ecclesiocentric mission, when they say LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II, are invisible and hypothetical cases only in 2025. So LG 16 etc are not practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), the Athanasius Creed and the ecumenism of return of the Syllabus of Pope Pius IX. They agree with my reports on ‘X’ and Gloria TV. There is no denial from them or the Holy See Press Office. I am saying the obvious. LG 8. 14, 16 etc refer to invisible cases in 2025-2026. Everyone agrees on this point. For them too, membership in the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation. Invisible…More
Unfortunately, such a business model is no longer viable today. Over the past 20 years, as people turned to the internet to get instant news and analysis, more than 2000 newspapers in North America closed.
Mesečnik Catholic Family News v ZDA zapira svoja vrata. Decembrska številka bo zadnja, s tem pa se bo končalo obdobje, ki se je začelo leta 1993 in pod vodstvom pokojnega Johna Vennarija (+2017) postalo znan katoliški apostolat. Publikacija, znana po poglobljenih analizah o cerkvenih vprašanjih, pravi, da je njen model zastarel: "V zadnjih 20 letih, ko so se ljudje za takojšnje novice in analize obrnili na internet, se je v Severni Ameriki zaprlo več kot 2.000 časopisov." Število naročnin se je zdaj zmanjšalo pod raven, ki je finančno upravičena, kar je spodbudilo ukinitev časopisa.
Americký mesačník Catholic Family News končí svoju činnosť. Decembrové číslo bude jeho posledným, čím sa končí činnosť, ktorá sa začala v roku 1993 a stala sa známym katolíckym apoštolátom pod vedením zosnulého Johna Vennariho (+2017). Publikácia, známa svojimi hĺbkovými analýzami o cirkevných otázkach, tvrdí, že jej model je zastaraný: "Za posledných 20 rokov, keď sa ľudia obrátili na internet, aby získali okamžité správy a analýzy, viac ako 2 000 novín v Severnej Amerike zaniklo." Úroveň predplatného v súčasnosti klesla pod úroveň, ktorá je finančne únosná, čo bolo dôvodom na ukončenie činnosti.
German princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis spoke with TichysEinblick.de on November 27 about the Church, the state, and the family. Key quotes - In terms of social policy, I am very liberal. But when it comes to Faith, living Faith, and to the liturgy, I am much more conservative. These are the essential things when one speaks to the Ruler of the world. One must adopt a certain attitude. - When people meet the English king, or an emperor in Africa or Asia, they bow. And this reverence, of course, is also necessary in church and in the life of Faith. - I’m absolutely opposed to the idea that one must turn one’s tolerance into a kind of religion. - For decades women were told that they are only complete human beings if they have a career. But being a housewife and raising children is a profession. - The most important lesson is truly that we must return to marriage and family. - If the political will is there … we can return to a normal birth rate — that is not below, how shall we say,…More

Cardinal Müller in civilian clothing: Former German domestic intelligence chief Hans-Georg Maaßen visited Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller in the Vatican. On December 1, Maaßen posted a photo on social media with the comment: “The meeting concerned the political situation in Germany, the restriction of freedom of expression, the decline of Christian values in Western countries, and the necessary political change.” The photo is noteworthy because it shows Cardinal Müller wearing a white shirt and black suit — without a cassock, clerical collar, or visible pectoral cross. Unrelated to the meeting: Maaßen’s home was searched by German police on November 27.
Hans-Georg Maaßen auf x.com (1.Dezember) mit diesem Bild: "Ich hatte ein gutes Gespräch mit Kardinal Müller im Vatikan. Es ging um die politische Lage in Deutschland, die Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit, den Verfall der christlichen Werte in den Staaten des Westens und um die notwendige Politikwende."
Scott will explain our laws and the murders of fishermen. 1600 miles from American shores in a speedboat? My opinion is they all knew it was a murder when they ordered to kill men clinging to the boat with their arms in the air. It's all about the oil. Everyone who knows history has explained it many times over. It's all about the oil! Kill innocent people, over throw all the governments who won't comply with their demands and steal everything they have. Why would they all agree to killing those people? Dead men can't prove their innocence. In my opinion from Trump down knew this and ordered it. And why two not one but two Generals quit. They will not obey unlawful commands. People who actually believe in following a good law.

The Khazar fairy tale as evidence for non-Semitic Jews? Das Chasaren-Märchen für Israelhasser - … In the debate surrounding Israel's actions against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the extinct Khazar people repeatedly surface, supposedly having fully converted to Judaism and now comprising 90% of Israel's population. Since they are not Semites, it is argued, they have no inherent right to a state in Palestine. Peter Haisenko goes so far as to suggest that Ukraine could indeed be a new state of Israel, given that their ancestors, the Khazars, originated there. This Khazar myth, presented as evidence for non-Semitic Jews in Israel, naturally has significant implications for the assessment of whether Israel has a right to exist in Palestine. The Khazars and the Ukrainian War With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Khazar myth has gained renewed relevance. Anti-Semites exploit this pseudoscientific explanation to blame the Jews, portrayed as a "Khazar mafia," for the war in Ukraine . This "…More
Advent in 2 Minutes Advent is a slightly different length each year. It starts four Sundays before Christmas. But because Christmas is on a fixed date and could fall on different days of the week, Advent can be as short as three weeks and a day or as long as four weeks. Does Advent mark a ‘new year’? The Church’s feasts and celebrations run on a yearlong cycle, which we call the “liturgical year.” The “liturgical year” starts on the first Sunday of Advent. So it’s a new liturgical year when Advent starts. But the Church also uses the ordinary calendar, so it would probably be a bit weird to have a “New Year’s Eve” party the night before Advent starts. What is the significance of the Advent wreath? (Story continues below) catholicnewsagency.com/…2900/what-is-advent-and- …

This past weekend we witnessed a stunt between Rome and Constantinople that tried to make it look like something merely as piddly as eternal dogma on the Trinity was the block between unification of East and West. I commented on Twitter: “The goal of all this is to make us all Unitarians, not to clarify the Trinity. The most solid Eastern Orthodox I know out there believe their differences with me on the Filioque actually MATTER. That’s because they put objective truth ahead of this false-ecumenism.” I then added: “And yes, I know the Filioque was added late in the Creed. That’s a totally different debate from whom the Holy Spirit actually proceeds from… which is then a totally different debate from if the Trinity actually matters (which it does to the best of the Orthodox—but not to leftists like Patriarch Bart or Leo.)” Below is a reprint of my earlier article on my main site explaining why the Filioque still matters more than Rome capitulating on her own teaching for a fake-union …
"I thank you for your selfless dedication to the faith. I know what it means to share in the trials that affect the Church. Yet God holds everything in his loving hands." This is one of the many encouraging messages that Gloria.tv receives from its donors and friends (alongside the occasional hostile note). For nearly two decades, Gloria.tv has been here — steady as a lantern in a windy night — regardless of the circumstances or how much was donated. However, the truth is that almost every year in December, we struggle just to land at zero. We never imagined the fighting Church without Gloria.tv. We’re not ready to imagine that now, either. We've always found a way forward, and we believe we will again — even amid rising costs for everything. With your help. Please consider taking part in our Advent fundraising campaign (we need to raise about €30,000). Gloria.tv depends on your support. You can donate with credit card or PayPal via: kindful Gloria.tv has survived financially because …More
