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.

On Sunday, 14 December at 8:30 p.m., the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio in Milan will host a historic event: Canon Don Francesco Braschi will celebrate a Mass in the ancient Ambrosian Rite according to the 1954 missal—the first at the High Altar in fifty-three years.
Per la prima volta in quasi 50 anni, domenica 14 dicembre alle ore 20:30, in occasione dell'Anno Giubilare, sarà celebrata una Messa Solenne secondo l'antico rito ambrosiano (libri liturgici del 1954) nella Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio a Milano, proprio sulla tomba di Sant'Ambrogio. La teologia cattolica insegna tradizionalmente che solo gli esseri dotati di anima razionale e immortale – gli esseri umani e gli angeli – possono raggiungere la visione beatifica.

'Cast a look round the world, just observe the manner of living, of speaking, and you will see immediately whether the evil of sin is known in the world or whether any attention is paid to it. Not to speak of those who live decidedly irreligious and wicked lives, how few are those who pass for good and who approach the sacraments are aware of the great evil that sin is, and the great ruin it brings with it. It must necessarily happen that, on account of this certainly culpable ignorance in which most men live, an enormous number will come to be damned, because no sin is pardoned which is not detested, and it is impossible to detest sin properly if it is not known as such.' St. Joseph Cafasso 'There are many who arrive at the faith, but few that are lead into the heavenly kingdom.' Pope St. Gregory the Great, Doctor and Father of the Church 'It is as though Jesus said: "O My Father, I am indeed going to clothe myself with human flesh, but the greater part of the world will set no value …More

Wed Dec 3, 2025 - 8:29 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — “Ten years ago it was sexting and nudes causing havoc in classrooms,” writes Sally Weale in a chilling new report at the Guardian. “Today, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have made it child’s play to generate deepfake nude images or videos, featuring what appear to be your friends, your classmates, even your teachers. This may involve removing clothes, getting an image to move suggestively or pasting someone’s head on to a pornographic image.” I have been covering the rise of the next horrific manifestation of our collective porn crisis here at LifeSiteNews since 2019, when I warned that the rise of “deepfakes” would inevitably result in people making artificial pornography of their peers. Just a few years later, I reported on stories of middle-schoolers making deepfake pornography of kids they attended class with; last year, I reported on the rise of “nudify” apps that can digitally undress people in photographs, and …
People stop using anything from ai, chat or anything else invented by evil men. Through them satan will destroy many lives. And most complain those things have lied. So why take a chance with any of it.
Let Jesus Become Your One True Treasure The gospel today uses parables to illustrate the value of the kingdom of heaven. The buried treasure and the pearl of great price represent Jesus, who is worth more than anything else. We must be willing to give up everything else to have Him, as He is the ultimate gift and the giver of all gifts. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

Quite true, Tom, although, I suspect that these two terms should be written as "everything" and "nothing" since one of the greatest deceptions humans have fallen prey to is thinking we actually know what either of those words mean given that we typically assess them in an earthly or secular way. Our Lord appeared to have "nothing" but He gave us Everything in its most universal meaning.
A resurfaced 2014 video shows Pope Leo XIV singing “Feliz Navidad” with a local band in Peru. He joins in the clapping, and the audience cheers when he finishes.
So what? He is celebrating Christmas with his community. Doesn't look liturgical at all to me, but just a celebration. He probably has a good singing voice.
chris griffin, act as a man in YOUR judgements and accusations against our Lady of Fatima, Who is the Holy and Blessed Mother of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST Whom ALMIGHTY GOD sent to Fatima to warn and prepare the world. What are the "so many holes in Fatima that it leaks like a sieve"? Stop avoiding your responsibility to back up your accusations and judgements against the Mother of GOD, and behave as a man. You have gone far enough in judging the Holy Blessed Virgin Mary of Fatima, and in begging others to follow you to discard Fatima as a phony apparition.
These same following Holy Scriptures apply to the True Catholic Church approved authentic messages our Lady of FATIMA, the Fatima witnesses, the existing Fatima documentation, and the truth regardless of the stiff-necked who are authorizing themselves as chris griffin who attempt to lead others to follow his false opinions - 32 And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him. 33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them [the apostles] to death. 34 But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while. 35 And he said to them; Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves, what you are about to do with these men. 36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be some body, whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined; who was slain: and all who believed him, were …More
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
