In his recent video show, journalist Raymond Arroyo asked the canon lawyer, Rev. Gerald Murray, about Leo XIV's meeting with the cardinals on January 7-8: "If you had two minutes at the microphone in that consistory, what would you say?" Murray replied that the Church must acknowledge that Pope Francis has introduced ideas that no previous pope has taught, and that these ideas must be confronted and rejected. He specifically mentions Communion for people in adulterous second marriages. He also mentions "blessings" for homosexual couples, arguing that one cannot bless sin. Finally, he referred to the statement signed by Pope Francis which implied that God wills all religions.
Canon lawyer Fr Murray is offering advice to cardinals ahead of the upcoming January consistory. He says that Pope Francis has taught things that no pope has ever taught before, and that these things need to be addressed — meaning they need to be cast aside.
@V.R.S. Yes!!! And that is the problem with all of these “conservative” Catholic clerics. They speak very correctly about some things, yet they are incredibly confused about other critical Catholic teachings. Quite clearly, this priest has been completely confused by the Second Vatican Council but fails to see the truth. Anyone that sees no problem with John Courtney Murray is not Catholic. Thank you for your observation and comment.
The News Report of Father Paul Kramer for December 2025 storage.googleapis.com/…9a01d7527c/NR25-12 … Excerpts follow here- THE HUMILITY OF CHRIST Christ accepted, with Divine humility, the conditions upon which He was birthed into the world — a very primitive cold and barren stable. His life with us continued on a sorrowful and suffering journey. He lived the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary – the anguish caused by sinful mankind, the scourgings, the mockings, the carrying of our crosses on top of His Cross of Crucifixion – His ultimate gift of love – so that we may be saved. Mary and Joseph suffered along with Him. Shortly after Christ’s birth, as they journeyed, it was bitter cold with blistering gales of wind. Our Blessed Mother, having grave concern for the safety of the Christ Child, prayed to God, not that He mitigate the storm, but that He cease the bitter cold winds against Jesus alone and allow the force of the storm to continue against She and Joseph. And so, God did …More
I like the excerpts of Father Kramer. It should begin to appear obvious the Kirk fiasco is a PSYOP. All the storys being leaked or published before it happened? Just more occult mockery for the moon-blinked masses!
Trump: Cyrus the king of perverts pictured on the temple coin. Ascended to rule the Epstein network. The opposite of this is Christ's Catholic Church, where penitent perverts can find refuge through the sacraments.
The Archdiocese of Portland reported on social media on December 19 that new kneelers for Communion have been installed at St. Mary’s Cathedral, just in time for the Christmas season. The Archdiocese is led by Monsignor Alexander Sample.
The new communion kneelers have arrived just in time for Advent and the Christmas Season at St. Mary's Cathedral in Portland, Oregon.
@mccallansteve …and then bring back the authentic teachings, practices, and beliefs of the Catholic Church that were followed by all faithful Catholics for nearly 2000 years before the Modernists of Second Vatican Council created the counterfeit Conciliar religion and watch God smile on this nation and the world once again.
@mccallansteve The TLM is already in his Diocese and has been for some time. He’s one of the strongest advocates for it among the U.S. Bishops and has celebrated it often himself.
What are the "O" Antiphons? The beloved Advent hymn O Come, O Come Emmanuel is a musical rendering of the Greater Advent Antiphons, also called the “O” Antiphons based on the initial letter of each. They are sung at the Magnificat during Vespers (Evening Prayer) from December 17th through December 23rd. These verses are a heart-rending plea for the Messiah to appear and save His people. They address Him by the titles He is given in Sacred Scripture and encapsulate the profound longing of God’s people for their Savior. Thousands of years of salvation history, thousands of years of waiting—of aching—for the Messiah find expression in these short, simple, yet intensely moving words.The great liturgical commentator Dom Prosper Guéranger notes that these Antiphons are sung at Vespers because Our Lord came at the “evening of the world,” and are placed at the Magnificat to illustrate that He came to us through Our Lady. A fascinating fact about these antiphons is that Our Lord’s answer …More
"Then it (the soul) comes to the knowledge of the divine Scriptures, where it must show itself meek in its piety, lest it should venture to condemn that which seems absurd to the unlearned, and should itself be rendered unteachable by obstinate disputations. After that, it now begins to know in what entanglements of this world it is held by reason of carnal custom and sins: and so in this third stage, in which there is knowledge, the loss of the highest good is mourned over, because it sticks fast in what is lowest."
[St. Augustine of Hippo – IV-V Century AD; Thagaste, Roman Empire/Hippo, Western Roman Empire; (aged 75) – Church Father – Doctor of the Church – Blessed; Resting Place – Pavia, Italy] CHAPTER. III.--10. There are in all, then, these eight sentences. For now in what remains He speaks in the way of direct address to those who were present, saying: "Blessed shall ye be when men shall revile you and persecute you." But the former sentences He addressed in a general way: for He did not say, Blessed are ye poor in spirit, for yours is the kingdom of heaven; but He says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven:" nor, Blessed are ye meek, for ye shall inherit the earth; but, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." And so the others up to the eighth sentence, where He says: "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." After that He now begins to speak in the way of direct address to those …More
Not one word that comes out of Putin's mouth can be believed. He is the most evil leader the world has seen since Hitler. Any Catholic who defends him is in grave danger of losing his soul.
“I was blessed to work with Cardinal Cupich for six years in the Archdiocese of Chicago before being named in Joliet, where I became the Ordinary for the past five years. During that time, I worked with him and a lot of very talented people. So, I learned some basic skills of governance, of administration, and also how to set priorities and keeping the mission of the Church in the center. I think that's probably one of the greatest things I learned.”
In the wake of the controversy over the ban on communion rails by the Bishop of Charlotte, in contrast to their recovery by the Bishop of Portland, an interesting reflection opens up. In many churches, the communion rail has disappeared quietly and almost without explanation, as if it were a dispensable relic from another time. However, a serene look—free of prejudices and nostalgias—shows that recovering its use has clear advantages, both from the liturgical, pastoral, and practical points of view. Far from being a mere decorative element, the communion rail responds to a logic deeply coherent with the nature of the act it welcomes: the reception of the Body of Christ. These are five practical arguments for recovering its use. 1. Order and fluidity in a central moment of the Mass The communion rail introduces a simple and effective order: the faithful take their place at the foot of the altar, and it is the priest who moves continuously and without interruptions through the space of …

Anointed by whom? By a shaman? Defying God is an unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. God removed King Saul from power for disobeying Him. Just as Lucifer was cast out of Heaven and Judas paid in Hell for his betrayal.
O Holy Spirit, Creator, mercifully assist Thy Catholic Church, and by Thy heavenly power strengthen and establish her against the assaults of all her enemies; and by Thy love and grace renew the spirit of Thy servants whom Thou hast anointed, that in Thee they may glorify the Father and His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Creator Sancte Spiritus ~ Raccolta ~ Page 204/Prayer 288.
Summa: On the Morality of Carnal Intercourse and Modern Natural Family Planning (NFP) Prima Pars: The Moral Nature of Carnal Intercourse Article 1: Whether all carnal intercourse after the Fall is intrinsically disordered? Objection 1: It would seem that carnal intercourse is not intrinsically disordered, because it occurs naturally and was created by God. Objection 2: It would seem that only intercourse outside marriage is disordered, since marriage is the natural and lawful context for the act. Sed Contra: Augustine writes, “Concupiscence, even in the baptized, renders the flesh liable to sin; carnal pleasure is not innocent but must be restrained” (De Nuptiis et Concupiscentia, I.20). Jerome affirms, “Excess in marriage approaches fornication” (Epist. 22.3). Respondeo: I answer that: All carnal intercourse after the Fall is intrinsically disordered because concupiscence wounds human nature (Rom 7:18; Augustine, De Nuptiis et Concupiscentia). The act tends to dominate the will …More
