On 19 November, Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, wrote on his blog, OldYosef.HkCatholic.com, about the history and dangers of the Synod. He recalls that Francis "regrettably" restructured this institution of bishops to include lay members. Thus, it became a hybrid "consultative assembly of the baptised", convened under the name of Synod. However, Cardinal Zen is more concerned that the central leaders of the Synod clearly sought to advance significant reforms to Church doctrine and discipline. He accuses the synod leaders of wasting meeting time with childish "conversations in the Spirit", and of avoiding formal discussion as much as possible. Meanwhile, a large group of facilitators, experts, secretaries and undersecretaries controlled the assembly. Regarding the final document, Cardinal Zen notes that Francis endorsed it as his "papal teaching". Francis urged everyone to read, understand and implement it 'on a trial basis', with the outcomes of the entire experiment to be reviewed …More
Illusions from Cardinal Zen: “Francis committed many dangerous errors, leaving behind chaos & division. Now, the greatest hope lies in Leo XIV succeeding in uniting the Church on the basis of truth & dedicating himself to evangelization. We must offer our prayers & sacrifices.”
Cardinal Zen appears to be a good man, and much of what he says is orthodox. However, he is unwilling to concede that the Second Vatican Council is the source of the current problems in the Church. He fails to understand that all the post-Vatican II popes (including Pope Benedict XVI, who raised him to the rank of cardinal) will point to the 16 documents of the Council as the authority for their heterodoxical actions.

Our Lady of Quinche Also known as La Pequeñita Virgen de Monte del Sol Virgin of the Rock Memorial 21 November Profile Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the image of a cedar statue in Quinche, Ecuador. About two foot tall, it was carved in 1586 by Don Diego de Robles, an artist who created many other images of Mary. He carved it on order from the Lumbici Indians, who were unable to pay for it at delivery. Diego traded the statue to the Oyacachi Indians in exchange for a large load of cedar for future projects. Legend says that the vision of Our Lady appeared in a cave to some of the Oyacachi, promising to the protect their children; the image Diego brought for trade looked just like the lady in the vision. The Oyacachi asked Diego to stay and help them build a shrine for the statue; he declined and started home. His horse threw him as they crossed a bridge, and Diego was miraculously saved after he had prayed for Our Lady‘s intervention; he understood that this was a …More
(LifeSiteNews) — The worst chastisement God can inflict on his people is bad clergy, Exorcist Father Chad Ripperger pointed out during a Q&A session at the 2025 Call to Holiness Conference in Michigan. Asked his thoughts on whether the world is undergoing a prophesied chastisement, Ripperger said, “Before there’s any physical chastisement, there’s usually a spiritual chastisement.” He highlighted the declaration of St. John Eudes that bad priests are “the worst chastisement that God can mete out on a people,” adding that he thinks we are already undergoing this spiritual chastisement. In his book The most evident mark of God’s anger and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world are manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clergy who are priests more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than charity and affection of devoted shepherds … When God permits such things, it is a very positive proof that …
He has been as he would say, regulating the internet. And banning anyone or anything that speaks the truth or shows it. They are all the same. Leave up the trash and propaganda and destroy all the truth. including video's on natural healing and cures.
The past week has been buzzing with rumors to the effect that Leo XIV has instructed the Dicastery for Divine Worship to issue “extensions” on the TLM whenever bishops ask for them. In this way, as Kevin Tierney explains, he has begun the practical repeal of And yet… even if the rumor is true (the nuncio to Great Britain has affirmed it with a classic non-denial), it still means that the fate of the TLM is left latent schism”—remain official and operative. Which brings me to the point of this post. Very often people will ask, as I myself asked for years: “Why in the world would the Church’s leaders persecute some of the most faithful Catholics—those who form the TLM communities?” The answer is not an agreeable one, but sometimes we must take bitter medicine in order to get well. Truth can be the bitterest of medicines. And of all the sicknesses in the Church, denial of reality is one of the most widespread and most unacknowledged. When this sickness is not diagnosed, the sufferer …
"Therefore the highest heaven is the heaven of wisdom; the second, of understanding; the third, of counsel; the fourth, of might; the fifth, of knowledge; the sixth, of piety; the seventh, of God's fear. From this, therefore, the thunders bellow, the lightnings are kindled, the fires are heaped together; fiery darts appear, stars gleam, the anxiety caused by the dreadful comet is aroused. Sometimes it happens that the sun and moon approach one another, and cause those more than frightful appearances, radiating with light in the field of their aspect. But the author of the whole creation is Jesus."
[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; Roman Greece/Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian] “On the fifth day the land and water brought forth their progenies. On the sixth day the things that were wanting were created; and thus God raised up man from the soil, as lord of all the things which He created upon the earth and the water. Yet He created angels and archangels before He created man, placing spiritual beings before earthly ones. For light was made before sky and the earth. This sixth day is called parasceve, that is to say, the preparation of the kingdom. For He perfected Adam, whom He made after His image and likeness. But for this reason He completed His works before He created angels and fashioned man, lest perchance they should falsely assert that they had been His helpers. On this day also, on account of the passion of the Lord Jesus Christ, we make either a station to God, or a fast. On the seventh day He rested from all His works, and blessed it …More
The US WAS giving intel to Ukraine to bomb airports, civilian trains, bridges, hospitals, apartment buildings and the school(s) etc. Don't expect them to give up so easily. Don't think this will all come to an end. The US and nato can't lose face totally. There are worse plans in the making.

A woman was found restrained in the Ukrainian city of Odessa after an unidentified man taped her to a bench in what appeared to be an act of public punishment, local news agency UNN reported on Tuesday, citing regional police.
(LifeSiteNews) — How close is the Antichrist? If you’re a Christian, you probably don’t think he’s very far off, as in hundreds of years away. Many think he is coming in our lifetime. But if you’re a Catholic familiar with the prophecy of Our Lady of La Salette, there’s a good chance you don’t think he’s imminent — because we haven’t yet had the 25 years of “peace” and “plentiful harvests.” Or have we? The opinion that we haven’t lived through those 25 years was recently shared by exorcist Father Chad Ripperger, a gem of the Church and a wealth of spiritual knowledge. Admittedly, when I heard he said this, I was perplexed. He is among the best and brightest of the Church. But the Christian faith of the world is so abysmal right now (U.S. faith levels have dropped to the lowest on record), and the technology needed for the mark of the beast is so advanced that it seems to me more likely the Antichrist will exploit the tepidity and apostasy of the world before Catholics become …
A large part of Radical Fidelity’s mission is to show, from as many angles as possible, that the sinister drivel flowing from the Vatican is not the real Catholic Faith. It is not even a slight deviation, or a watered-down version, nor is it the But a different religion, nonetheless. If I were merely some lunatic raving day after day about the superiority of Rugby over Iron Grid, or whether one political party is better than another, I could understand if people relegated my writings to the permanently deleted bin. They would be justified. But that is not the case. If you believe As I said, there are, of course, those who have read this far and whose eyes by now have glazed over due to the modernist spiritual fluoride they have been ingesting through the “spirit of Vatican II” and its diabolical culmination, namely Synodality. These people are probably staring blankly at their screens right now, wondering what I am on about. But for those who still have two brain cells dialoguing and …
