« With Pope Francis, a process of arbitrary intervention in multiple institutions of the Catholic Church began. Some have been forced to make statutory changes that no one requested, despite the fact that they were peacefully carrying out their spiritual and apostolic life within the Church. Others were victims of the appointment of pontifical commissioners, an evil interventionist phenomenon that followers of these ecclesiastical matters refer to pejoratively as comisariamiento. There are also institutions that have been victims of direct dissolution (forced extinction), with utter disregard for the future of hundreds or thousands of members of excellent conduct and good faith who were part of them; faithful who for decades of their lives lived their vocation happily... until Pope Francis' arrival on the papal throne. In addition to this, there were closed seminaries, canceled ordinations, cloistered religious threatened in the essence of their very millennial charisms (with houses …More
"The way to Heaven is tough. Our time has reached a higher intensity of evil than before. Temptations are greater than ever,” said Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X in an interview with Kenya’s Immaculata TV on 23 November (video below). He explained that there has been a terrible crisis in the Church since Vatican II, including a terrifying decline in vocations: "You wonder how far it can go." And, "The influence of the Church on the world is now reduced to nothing." Bishop Fellay quoted Cardinal Ratzinger’s well-known prediction that the Church as we know it will disappear and be reduced to "little islands": "I fear we are very close to that time." He continued, "A lot of things in the Church have already been destroyed." On Tucho’s Document About Marian Titles Regarding Cardinal Victor (Tucho) Fernández and his recent document on the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces, Bishop Fellay called it “pitiful.” “It is an insult to God,” he …More
Based on another posted item on GloriaTV, Prevost is better at singing Feliz Navidad than quelling the faithful's fears on the German clown show. The 'synodal way' is a wayward departure from The Way.

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.

LAST YEAR IN 2024 IN DECEMBER THE LORD KINDLY ALLOWED ME TO SEE THIS IN THE SKY These pictures show only one ring but I believe it was seven in the beginning or 6. The ones at the center had already vanished by the time we got to the hospital. I know that cameras can distort light, but I'm glad you can see what I could see with my eyes, the light did not hurt me, my friend could not see directly at the sun, it was hard for him to take a picture. SUN, THE SUN WAS BRIGHT AS A HOLY HOST, AND SURROUNDED BY CONCENTRIC CIRCLES, THERE WERE PERFECTLY FORMED AROUND THE SUN, AS I ASKED A FRIEND TO GIVE ME A RIDE TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE I AM HANDICAP AND CAN'T DRIVE, I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD SEE THE RINGS AROUND THE SUN. He had not noticed them before, but I was smiling telling him that the Lord was kind to do that for me, and the rays of the sun came out like 7 petals. I asked him to take a picture, so when we got to the hospital for my Doctor's appointment the rings were almost gone, but he said …More

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.

DEC 3, 2025 I ALMOST DIED 17 YEARS AGO IN 2008, I'm currently taking medication. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2002. But in 2008 in September I ended up sick, after going to see a Doctor, I was sent home with a misdiagnose, tylenol and anti-biotics. The Doctor was negligent to run tests as I asked, she was a young female pregnant Doctor probably in her mid thirties. In the last week of september I had already lost 33 pounds in less than a month, high fever, body aches, unable to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme weakness, but I felt the presence of God, so much love, so much peace, although my pains where great. I was hungry but I was unable to eat anything anymore, not even a soup or broth would make it to my stomach without me vomiting. A brother and his family came to visit from a different state in the U.S., I was under my mom's care at that time as I had nobody to look after me. I had refused to go to the hospital, because for 3 consecutive times that same year (2008)…More
