On 25 November, InfoVaticana.com released an audio recording related to alleged money laundering involving the Vatican, the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae (Sodalicio) and an ongoing FBI investigation. In the recording, Monsignor Jordi Bertomeu — an official of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, as well as the Vatican’s commissioner overseeing the suppression of the Sodalicio — admits that the Holy See was aware of the FBI's investigation into the suspected money laundering. The audio captures a conversation between Msgr. Bertomeu and a Sodalicio representative in which they discuss strategies to 'avoid scandal' and reduce the impact of the case in Peru and the US. According to InfoVaticana, the actions described by Monsignor Bertomeu could constitute obstruction of justice under US federal law. In the recording, he suggests informing the FBI that the Church has already 'cleaned up' the situation by recovering assets and severing ties with the Sodalicio. This an approach should …More

At the same time, the country hosts nearly 2.4 million foreigners who have been granted protected status.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Łódź as the new Archbishop of Kraków in Poland. Born in Krakow in 1964, he was ordained as a priest in 1988. In 2011, Benedict XVI appointed him as an auxiliary bishop of Krakow. Pope Francis named him archbishop of Łódź in 2017 and cardinal in September 2023. Francis' man in Poland Edward Pentin described Cardinal Ryś on CollegeOfCardinalsReport.com as an extremely liberal bishop and as Poland’s "Pope Francis man". "His elevation to the cardinalate was seen as a reward and encouragement for his attempts to reform Poland's conservative Church." Pentin added that, since Ryś became a member of the Congregation for Bishops in October 2023, new bishops in Poland have been more progressive than their predecessors. Like Cardinal Ryś, they all strongly promote the Church’s new synodal way. In October 2023, Cardinal Ryś said that opposition to Pope Francis is "completely unjust" and "always based on one or two phrases taken out of …More
The Fulton County, Georgia, election interference case against President Donald Trump and others has been dismissed after the prosecutor who took over the case requested that it be dropped. "In my professional judgment, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years," wrote Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, who took over the case after the original prosecutor was disqualified from the case. Within minutes of Skandalakis' court filing, the judge overseeing the case granted the request and dismissed the case. "This case is hereby dismissed in its entirety," wrote Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee, who earlier this month had scheduled a Dec. 1 "status/pretrial" hearing in the case. Trump and 18 others pleaded not guilty in August 2023 to all charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of …
But they might have to. Poland is one of five EU member states that have not granted legal recognition to same-sex relationships, alongside Bulgaria, Lithuania, Romania, and Slovakia.
Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments. Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.
Escobar also questioned provisions involving the confiscation of Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction. He described such measures as unacceptable to the Kremlin and a likely deal-breaker, adding that only a fifth of the proposed plan acknowledges Russia’s demands, while failing to reflect Moscow’s current battlefield leverage. It would be unacceptable to anyone. Not just the Kremlin. This is just another mess from Trump and his administration. Another deception pretending they want peace. Making a peace plan that is worthless, but making sure people see it as a peace plan.
I thank GOD for two things in this mess Europe and the US has made in Ukraine and Russia. 1. I see the truth of exactly what the Russians say and not the propaganda we get. 2. I hear from people who are actually in Russia keeping communications going and trying to see if there is anything they can do to help and stop the propaganda. Many people are in and out of Russia. They talk directly to Sergey Lavrov and Maria Zakharova and others in Russia. Larry Johnson I believe may still be in Russia talking to them. As we can see in his article Pepe Escobar is back again. And Rick Sanchez who has a studio in Russia. They have first hand information from Russia. Not speaking for them. Not twisting what anyone says. Not editing anything. But real conversations as they happen.
Please put on CC because he tells us a lot about the Church. The oldest Catholic Church in Russia. Built in 1773. I am adding a comment from below video. The CATHOLIC Church of St Catherine in St Petersburg, Russia The Catholic Church of St Catherine (Russian: Католическая церковь Святой Екатерины) in St. Petersburg is the oldest Catholic church in Russia, and the only church with the title of basilica (status granted on 23 July 2013). It is located on the Nevsky Prospekt in St Petersburg, Russia, and is a part of the Archdiocese of Moscow headed by Msgr. Paolo Pezzi. The CATHOLIC Church of St Catherine in St Petersburg, Russia Comment from under the video. Visited this church in the early 2000’s. Lovely feeling. The soviets used it as a warehouse. The unfinished chapel is a poignant vision of what those Godless people did to the church. Apparently before the revolution there were over 20 Catholic parishes in St. Petersburg area. 20 years ago?
In 2005 I completed six years of medical training and started work as a hospital-based doctor. It was here where I met my husband Mark who was considered a ‘veteran’ resident doctor with six years of practice already under his belt. However, it was not to be our lives’ work: Mark quit the medical profession in 2016 while I left permanently in the early days of The COVID-19 Fraud. The system rewards doctors with praise and almost guaranteed high incomes leading many participants to believe they are doing the right thing. It is paradigm changing to find out that the Healthcare System is a Hoax and, in fact, Medicine is a Killing Field. Nevertheless, it all starts to make sense when it is realised that the foundational concepts such as Germ Theory are invalid. Once you are aware of the fatal flaws in allopathic medicine you have an ethical duty to speak out about its catastrophic harms. Just as important is the instruction of how to be truly well through Terrain Therapy. But beware …
Overflow With Grace Before The Hour Comes The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the Lord’s return, not by focusing on our own salvation, but by striving to love God more. This love should be pure and selfless, not driven by personal gain or comparison to others, but by a genuine desire to reciprocate God’s love. By focusing on loving God more, we naturally align ourselves with His will and ensure our readiness for His return. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

He (Lavrov) said the diplomatic sabotage appears to be coming from European leaders backing Kiev, particularly French President Emmanuel Macron, who he argued do not have “the best intentions.” Also UK no better than France. UK planning smear campaign against Trump – …
The European “leaders” just want war…why bother with peace plans when they can get the US to finance and arm them so they can look good and obey their globalist masters..GOD only knows what blackmail is threatening them to toe the line. From what he says and does, Mr. Lavarov sounds like the most sensible person around…God bless him.
November 27, 1830 The Miraculous Medal - Sacramental cybrotius The Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of Our Lady of Graces, is a medal, the design of which was given to Saint Catherine Labouré following apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Rue du Bac, Paris, France, and made by goldsmith Adrien Vachette.
