This is good news for the people in Ukraine and Russia. But not so good for nato and US and anyone else involved. While Russia is winning, they are lying more and more about how Ukraine is winning. Like Ursula the liar. They will step it up more than ever now. And we need to step up prayers. Trump says he is not giving Ukraine money, and yet a table full of $100 bills given to traitors and those who are trying to destroy Russia and Ukraine.

Pope Leo XIV published today an Apostolic Letter on archaeology. Marking 100 years since the founding of the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology, he described the discipline as “indispensable for understanding Christianity”: “Revelation is always history. If this is so, then understanding Revelation requires an adequate knowledge of the historical, cultural and material contexts in which it took place,” he wrote. The Pontifical Institute, founded in 1925, is led by German priest Stefan Heid. He is world-famous for his research showing that the early Church celebrated Holy Mass ad orientem.
Ultimately, one of the central problems of Novus Ordo (among many elbowing their way in for first place, and we know what our Lord thought about anything seeking to be 'first') is that it appears to be focused upon the liturgy as performance as opposed to the liturgy as all encompassing prayer.
Camus @newstart_2024 Calley Means (ex-Big Pharma & Big Food insider) just said the quiet part out loud — calmly, clearly, and with receipts: “Chronic disease is the greatest profit-maximizing invention in human history — because it’s recurring revenue and we don’t die right away.” No yelling. No conspiracy. Just cold, hard economics. Fact: Healthcare is now America’s #1 industry. Fact: It grows fastest when we stay sick longest. Fact: More paychecks, mortgages, and retirements depend on managed illness than on actual cures. He’s not attacking anyone — he’s simply asking us to look at the scoreboard we all live under. If tomorrow every incentive flipped from “treat forever” to “prevent completely” — what’s the very first thing you’d change in your own life? Be honest. I’m reading every reply.
Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim told AcePrensa.com on December 9 that we are already living in a post-secular age, something especially evident in northern Europe. He said that people are turning to Catholicism "because it is true", as many grow disillusioned with other options. "With so much collapse — of old certainties and institutions — and the fragility of our political, cultural, ecological and financial lives, people are looking for parameters that promise to withstand the flood." Regarding the increase in attendance at Mass in the Roman rite, Bishop Varden noted that this is happening "in some places, not everywhere". It is linked to a search for beauty, which the Church can offer. He urged simply celebrating the liturgy well and follow the rubrics: "Do the red and say the black." Referring to the Chartres pilgrimage over Pentecost, he observed that the young participants were impossible to categorise, ranging from people who attend charismatic services to those who attend the …More
The Polish Bishops’ Conference has invited Pope Leo XIV to visit Poland. Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda of Gdańsk delivered the invitation during a private audience, noting that 2027 would be a fitting occasion as the Church marks the 150th anniversary of the Marian apparitions in Gietrzwałd. The Pope said his schedule for 2026–27 is already full but that he would consider the visit. According to Monsignor Wojda, Leo XIV expressed his affection for Poland and recalled visiting the country many times before.

Archbishop Wojda emphasised that he told the Pope that 2027 marks the 150th anniversary of the apparitions in Gietrzwałd, so ‘it is a good opportunity …
Attorney General Ken Paxton’s recent crusade against nonprofit organizations has been turbocharged by a flurry of favorable court rulings validating his use of a nearly 150-year-old state law to demand a company’s internal documents, and move to shut them down if they don’t comply. Over the last two years, Paxton has launched investigations into at least a dozen companies, mostly immigrant-serving nonprofits, claiming they were breaking the law, or in some cases, their own corporate charters. None of these allegations have yet been proven in court. What two key Texas courts and a federal appeals court have said, though, is that Paxton has wide authority to demand internal corporate records and file lawsuits to revoke a company’s right to do business in Texas if he believes they are violating the law. He can bring these legal actions without offering evidence to back up his claims, a Texas appeals court ruled. While a judge would eventually have to rule on the merits of the allegations …

Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra Registered nurse and whistleblower Michelle Spencer says that every time a newborn is given a hepatitis B shot, the baby is being exposed to far more aluminum than the FDA’s recommended limit, calling it a form of chemical assault. She says she has been warning mothers not to allow the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and the refusal rate has grown so much that the hospital held a meeting about it. According to Spencer, administrators accused nurses of giving “biased information” because so many mothers were now declining the hep-B shot.
