Unfortunately, such a business model is no longer viable today. Over the past 20 years, as people turned to the internet to get instant news and analysis, more than 2000 newspapers in North America closed.
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.
Why the Lord's Prayer? Nobody really knows for sure. We think it was done by those who worked or lived in the area. They believed in God and were Christian.
Several years ago a mysterious large rock in northern Ontario was uncovered after a tree fell. There was a carving on the rock. It surprised even archaeologists. Today the research carries on to try to better understand what was discovered. On the large rock, the place not far from Wawa, there were 255 symbols carved characters in an area of about 4 feet by five and next to the letters there was a carving of a boat with 16 people on it, including 14Xs. What did all this mean? Ryan Primrose, the archaeologist and the director of the Ontario Centre for Archaeological Education, recognized the 255 characters as Nordic runes. It was an old Scandinavian alphabet know as Futhark. Primrose contacted Henrik Williams, a professor at Uppsala University in Sweden who is a leading expert in runology. The conclusion: the runic writing were the words of The Lord's Prayer in Swedish, and traced it was back to 1611where there is evidence of a runic version of the prayer. Primrose believes the carving …

Mon Dec 1, 2025 - 7:11 pm EST CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian pastor who received one year’s house arrest for protesting a “drag queen story hour” event marketed to children at a public library in 2023 might soon face jail time after refusing to apologize to a local librarian. Pastor Derek Reimer of Calgary, Alberta, is currently serving a one-year house arrest, which he had previously appealed, as reported by LifeSiteNews. Last Wednesday, he was in court to go over his sentence conditions. As reported by LifeSiteNews, in 2023, Reimer’s Mission 7 Ministries lawyer Andrew MacKenzie filed an appeal to a sentence of one year’s house arrest and two years’ probation handed to the pastor before Christmas for protesting a “drag queen story hour” event targeting kids at Calgary’s Saddletown Library in the spring of 2023. Government lawyers had been seeking to sentence Reimer to jail time for his protest against the LGBT agenda. Reimer told LifeSiteNews at the time of his …
German Catholic writer and sociologist Gabriele Kuby also believes the Hamburg framework is “in accordance with the resolutions” of the Synodal Way, a four-year consultation with the laity in which the clerical sex-abuse scandal was used to usher in radical changes to the Church in Germany. She also sees it as a consequence not only of what she has called a societal “relapse into the barbarism of paganism” but also a failure to adequately counter the abandonment of Catholic sexual morality.

In his closing remarks at Saturday morning’s ecumenical meeting in the Church of Mor Ephrem – the Syriac Orthodox church in Istanbul that was the first new church building erected since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 – Pope Leo XIV invited everyone present at the ecumenical gathering “to journey together on the spiritual journey leading to the Jubilee of Redemption in 2033, with the prospect of a return to Jerusalem, to the Upper Room.” That’s according to a statement from the press office of the Holy See, given to journalists traveling with Leo in Turkey, where the pontiff has been since Thursday to mark the 1700th anniversary of the …
How Catholic Charities Turned Mass Afghan Resettlement Into a Federal Cash Pipeline When Catholic Charities of Oklahoma City bragged on EWTN about resettling more Afghans than any other Catholic Charities office in America, they wrapped it in warm language about “the stranger,” “the common good,” and “serving our brothers and sisters.” But the truth is simple: This wasn’t Christian duty. This was a federal business operation. THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT CHARITY - IT WAS ABOUT MONEY
Our own Church was responsible in part for flooding the country with Muslims, a religion in which its raison detre is the subjugation of Christians. Simply despicable and diabolical. Like Judas, all for 40 pieces of silver!
The faithful present at the Mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV at the Volkswagen Arena in Istanbul on Saturday share their excitement and express their belief that his visit is a message of peace and unity for all.

Leon XIV. je potrdil 75-letnega kardinala Kurta Kocha za novega predsednika organizacije Pomoč Cerkvi v stiski (ACN). Nasledil je 81-letnega kardinala Maura Piacenzo, ki je fundacijo vodil štirinajst let. V letu 2024 je ACN podprla več kot 5.000 projektov v približno 140 državah in v pomoč vložila približno 140 milijonov evrov. Ko je bil monsinjor Koch švicarski škof v Baslu (1995-2010), je izražal splošno liberalno stališče švicarskih škofov. Ko ga je Benedikt XVI. imenoval za prefekta dikasterija za edinost kristjanov, je kardinal Koch veljal za bližnjega Ratzingerjevi teološki viziji. Pod Frančiškom se je Koch prilagodil novemu tonu. Leta 2013 je Martina Lutra označil za "iskalca Boga". Leta 2017 je pozval k "novemu razumevanju" Martina Lutra in pohvalil sekularizirajočo reformacijo kot "Kristusov praznik". V zadnjih letih je obsodil nezmožnost sobivanja rimskega obreda in novusa ordo (2020) in hkrati zahteval (2025), naj Cerkev "ponovno odpre zdaj zaprta vrata" rimskega obreda.
"Despite our differences, despite our different religions and beliefs, we are all brothers and sisters, and I hope to play a part in promoting peace and unity throughout the world."
Pope Leo XIV began today his first foreign trip, to Turkey and then Lebanon. During the flight to Ankara, he spoke about the importance of peace, adding that all men and women to truly be brothers and sisters: "Despite our differences, despite our different religions and beliefs, we are all brothers and sisters, and I hope to play a part in promoting peace and unity throughout the world." Speaking to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the country’s diplomatic corps, Leo XIV praised Turkey’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, at the crossroads of religions and cultures. He quoted his predecessor, Pope Francis, as saying that the wars ravaging the world today amount to a "third world war fought piecemeal". "We are now experiencing a phase marked by a heightened level of global conflict," he said. "We must not give in to this! The future of humanity is at stake." Regarding Christians in Turkey, who form only a small minority following the murderous expulsions of the early 20…More
Here is full quote of Tucho’s "joke": "When I was a student in Rome 40 years ago it was said that Romans have their wife but most of them also have another woman and another man. That’s what they said 40 years ago and one didn’t know whether to laugh or cry."
Tucho: "Quando ero studente qui a Roma, quarant’anni fa, si diceva che i romani avevano la loro moglie, ma che la maggioranza aveva anche un’altra donna e anche un uomo. Non si sapeva se ridere o piangere."
It was standing room only for Mass at St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church (SSPX) for the Last Sunday after Pentecost. Near record attendance. This is Charlotte Diocese.
First non-European bishop appointed in Germany. With the appointment of Joshy George Pottackal, O.Carm., the German Catholic Church marks a quiet but historic turning point. Born in Kerala, India, and today a German citizen, Pottackal has spent most of his priestly life serving communities in the Diocese of Mainz — from youth ministry to parish leadership and seminary formation. His selection as auxiliary bishop signals something more than a personal milestone: it reflects a Church that increasingly mirrors the global reality of its faithful. Pottackal’s pastoral style is known to be grounded, people-focused, and refreshingly unpretentious. His path — India to Germany, student to pastor, citizen to bishop — embodies the kind of rooted openness that Germany’s Catholic landscape has long needed but rarely seen in leadership.
