Tue Dec 16, 2025 - 3:28 pm EST WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — A Christian church in California that was ordered to pay $1.2 million in fines for refusing to enforce local mask mandates as it continued to hold services in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 outbreak has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the lower court’s ruling. “This case stands as one of the clearest examples of government overreach against a church in modern American history,” declared Advocates for Faith & Freedom, the attorney group that has long represented Calvary Chapel in San Jose (CCSJ), California, and its Pastor Mike McClure, in a statement shared with LifeSiteNews. Advocates for Faith & Freedom (AFF) is now working in partnership with the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) in D.C. to petition the Supreme Court. CCSJ began to openly defy its Silicon Valley county’s harsh lockdown rules after an initial two months of compliance in 2020, recognizing the serious spiritual needs of their congregants …
Elon Musk: The amount of indoctrination that's happening in schools and universities is far beyond what parents realize --- “The amount of indoctrination that's happening in schools and universities is, I think, far beyond what parents realize. Let me give you an example that a friend of mine told me. His daughters go to high school in the Bay Area. And he was asking them, like, 'You know, who are the first few presidents of the United States?' They could name Washington. Then he said, 'Well, what do you know about him? Well, 'He was a slave owner.' 'What else?' Like, OK, that's, maybe you should know more than that. Slavery is obviously a horrific institution, but we should still know more about George Washington than that.”
Jubilee of Prisoners, #PopeLeoXIV: May forms of amnesty or pardon be granted During the Mass presided over in St. Peter's Basilica, Leo XIV reiterated the desire expressed by Francis in "Spes non confundit," the papal bull announcing the Holy Year. He hopes that everyone will be offered real opportunities for social reintegration, while being aware of the critical issues of the prison system: "No human being is the same as what he has done. Justice is always a process of reparation." #VaticanNewsIT
The working document should begin saying: The only way the Novus Ordo Mass is valid is if and only if it is in continuity with the Vetus Ordo Mass. Therefore , it is incumbent on the NO priest/ parish to show the continuity. It is right and just that there be many VO Masses to serve as points of comparison. The onus is on the NO priest to show that what he does is Catholic.
Fake "turning point": Prevost is in 100% continuity with the false prophet Bergoglio who started his diabolical revolution with 2014 consistory and Walter Kasper launching his synodal path of dissolution of Church Teaching (no, we did not forget). Prevost is taking this diabolical revolution to the next level. By the way the "sacred college" during the past 13 years of this abomination acted as shameful collaborators and obviously continue to do the same. God help us!
The Cloward-Piven Strategy The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty". youtube.com/watch?v=ifMvdflBnTc
Has the field of sociology ever contributed one positive thing to our society? Modern academia has turned sociology, psychology, and theology into into fields where sociopaths craft strategies to manipulate people to do what they envision is 'best for them'.

It was commissioned in Rome by Pope Pius IX to be used in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on the day the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined, 8 December 1854.

I am not being allowed to post this directly. So copy + paste job.. A Cantata for Darya Dugina (off Alexander Dugin's X page):- Rainaldo Graziani, Angelo Inglese A Cantata for Darya Dugina Excerpts from the dialogue between Angelo Inglese and Rainaldo Graziani on the genesis of the musical work. RG: Angelo, how did you decide to structure your new musical creation? Al: It is a scenic cantata in nine stations. I wanted to use the term “station” to give the cantata a sacred character, as if it were a liturgical journey. Each station represents an icon, where music is a vehicle for the liberation of the soul from passions, for detachment from the material world, and leads the listener to the crossroads of Dasha's thoughts. The cantata is divided into nine tracks: Prologue (Дого); II. Там, где нет иллюзий (Where there are no illusions); III. Взлетая выше (Living on the edge); IV. Призрак в неизвестность (Leap into the unknown); V. Быть светом (Being light…More
