Let me give you a hint... 0 , I was married to one, her entire family is living either in Florida or Chile, they don’t have sweet words for the regime and they don’t care about Trump's methods or his desire to get Venezuelan oil. The horror some of my friends endured, one of my friends had to sell her apartment and the family business (2 bakeries), 2 out 6 employees of my sister's business had to do odd related jobs to try and get established despite having an university degree and spent a small fortune to study them (business admin and agricultural engineering).

Public support for Monsignor Marco Agostini, the former Master of Papal Ceremonies, has emerged in Italy. He was dismissed after an audio recording was circulated in which he was allegedly heard using offensive language about members of the Roman Curia. While a microphone was unintentionally left on ahead of a Christmas greeting, he reportedly said that they are all "assholes" and "faggots". On 4 January, VeronaNews.net reported that Vito Comencini (Popolo Veneto), a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, had issued a public letter expressing solidarity with the prelate. Comencini considers the dismissal 'unjust and foolish', adding that it represents a 'worrying sign of persecution'. Neither the audio nor the dismissal has been accompanied by an official explanation from Vatican authorities. The Italian politician is aware that Monsignor Agostini had been 'targeted for some time' and claims that the alleged interception merely served as justification for his removal. Comencini links …More

ISRAEL/EUGENIO ZOLLI defines the Talmud as the “great corpus of rabbinic traditions” (1). RICCARDO CALIMANI describes it thus: “A rabbinic belief, which over time spread more and more and became authoritative, came to maintain that Moses had received the total Torah [= Law, ed.] on Mount Sinai, both in written form: Torah or Pentateuch, and in oral form, Mishnah. Transmitted to Joshua and from him to the elders and then, gradually […], it was entrusted to the memory of the men who materially wrote it. In this new light, the Mishnah […] acquires, as an oral Law transcribed after the Revelation on Sinai, an enormous importance […]. It is not surprising, therefore, that countless commentaries arose from it […]. The amoraim (literally: speakers) were those teachers who, between the 3rd and 5th centuries approximately [AD], succeeded the tannaim (repeaters, teachers, from the 1st to the 3rd century) and gave life to a great commentary called Gemara which, added to the Mishnah, took the …More

Leo XIV will certainly introduce changes with respect to the previous pontificate, but the challenge posed by Evangelii Gaudium "cannot" be buried — Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández told the consistory on January 7–8. His intervention was published by his friends of ReligionDigital.org. “In fact, Evangelii Gaudium specifies that it is not an obsessive proclamation of all the doctrines and norms of the Church, although necessary and valuable, but above all the proclamation of the core of the Gospel, the kerygma.” Tucho believes that "creativity is needed" to ensure that the proclamation reaches everyone. Protestant-sounding language He argues for an alleged “need to remain open to reforming our practices, styles, and organizations.” Even if denied, he uses the phrase “not out of an obsession with change” and wants “inculturating anew”. He then invokes the anti-Catholic slogan “Ecclesia semper reformanda”, drawn from Reformed theological literature. Tucho also argues against …More
A federal appeals court has ruled against the Satanic Temple's religious-based challenge of Indiana's near-total abortion ban. On Jan. 6, 2026, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit sided with a 2023 lower court opinion that the group lacked standing to sue because it did not present evidence that at least one Hoosier adherent was actually harmed. "This lawsuit was ridiculous from the start, but this unanimous court decision is a critical victory because it continues to uphold our pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally rock-solid," Attorney General Todd Rokita said in a press release. Under Indiana law, abortion is allowed only in very narrow circumstances: cases of fatal fetal anomalies, threats to the mother's life, and pregnancies before 10 weeks' gestation caused by rape or incest. Lawyers for the Satanic Temple argued that these restrictions conflict with the religious practices of its Hoosier adherents. The group holds as one of its central tenets …
The fires will go for weeks and we are now in peak bushfire season so keep all of the communities of people and their homes in your prayers. Always be Prepared both Spiritually and Physically!
We returned to our home as it was all clear and it was untouched by bushfire but we received another alert saying wind changed direction and to leave immediately as it was heading literally towards our area and I surrendered in Faith the home to God and put Blessed Holy Water on the house and we had to leave again and found out later the wind changed direction going away from our place back towards the main fire front towns. The Power of Prayer especially the Holy Rosary can DO miraculous things!
Throughout 2025, Bishop Daniel Felton of Duluth, Minnesota, has "permitted" nine parishes in the diocese to celebrate the Eucharist ad orientem, with the priest and congregation facing the same direction. The "permissions" were granted following requests from parish priests and on a trial basis. Bishop Felton began with an instruction issued in 2024. He wrote that celebrating the Eucharist facing the pews has been widely adopted in the Church since the Second Vatican Council. He added that some Catholics believe this posture has resulted in a loss of 'a sense of transcendence'. Bishop Felton required that both liturgical postures be treated with mutual respect. Priests had to explain their motivations for celebrating ad orientem to him personally and consult their parishioners beforehand. The frequency of the posture varied by parish. Some communities celebrated ad orientem every Sunday, while others did so once a month. The Diocese of Duluth comprises 69 parishes. The nine parishes …More
In the Diocese of Austin, I was instrumental in helping them develop a Latin ad orientem Novus Ordo (I knew that was the beginning of the end). I did it because they begged me, being the resident liturgical expert and having the ability to read and competently speak Latin. I made it a point to teach myself those rubrics (not really rubrics) so that I could have a knowledge of the false dichotomy. The Latin Novus Ordo ad orientem is not the TLM. No way, no how. Lipstick on a pig (I speak of the liturgy, not the miracle of transubstantiation). That’s what this city has now. Good for them. They forced me out of the Church by making me overly bitter and frustrated. It is still the same humanist liturgy it always is. Some slap on more makeup and have two deacons (one for the Word, one for the Eucharist) to simulate having an actual subdeacon. Utterly laughable and pathetic, nay synthetic.
What this fine Bishop should have said was: that if any priest can take out a compass and face East, he is very free to say liturgy in that direction. If you are going to return to true tradition, do it right, and not repeat past mistakes.
“'Out of one hundred thousand sinners who continue in sin until death, scarcely one will be saved.' St. Jerome, Doctor and Father of the Church 'It is certainly a great happiness for some sinners who after a bad life are converted at their death, and are saved; but these cases are very rare: ordinarily he that leads a bad life dies a bad death.' St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Doctor of the Church 'So that you will better appreciate the meaning of Our Lord's words, and perceive more clearly how few the Elect are, note that Christ did not say that those who walked in the path to Heaven are few in number, but that there were few who found that narrow way. It is as though the Saviour intended to say: The path leading to Heaven is so narrow and so rough, so overgrown, so dark and difficult to discern, that there are many who never find it their whole life long. And those who do find it are constantly exposed to the danger of deviating from it, of mistaking their way, and unwittingly wandering …More

Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 5:27 pm ESTFri Jan 9, 2026 - 8:36 pm EST LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (LifeSiteNews) — A Massachusetts father has won a preliminary injunction against a local school district that had insisted on exposing his five-year-old son to pro-LGBTQ books. The case pitted a devout Christian father – cited as Alan L., father of J.L. in court documents – against the Lexington Public School District (LPSD) and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School (JEES). The father objected to the content of certain books concerning sexual themes and contended that his child has been compelled “to participate in classroom instruction that promote[s] sexualized and ideological messages directly contrary to his family’s faith.” He also contended that as a parent, he had the right to be notified before his son is exposed to objectionable sexual material and to be able to opt his child out of lessons and other classroom activities involving those materials. Before bringing a civil suit before the court, …
Padre Peregrino to Chris Jackson: I know you wrote on Pope Paul IV's Apostolic Constitution "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio" a month ago, so it's important to highlight again that his document insists that if a heretic be raised to the Chair of Peter, it is "null, void and worthless... even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals." Those last 16 words absolutely destroy the modern-myth of "Universal Acceptance." It also means a public heretic is easily recognizable by your average blue-collar Catholic, even before any intellectuals get to the advanced topic of formal canonical trials.
It should be noted, however, that the situation after Vatican II is somewhat different from that of a pope who fell into heresy. Essentially, with the council, a new church emerged and then developed, which Paul VI called "conciliar." This structure is not the same as the Catholic Church; they are not the same thing. A conciliar church is like a neocatechumenate within the conciliar church. That is, a conciliar church is a sect within the Catholic Church. And its enormous size should not disturb us, since the historical precedent of the Arian heresy showed that 97-99% of bishops can very well be heretics. This is where the main question arises: did all these conciliar popes ever act as popes of the Catholic Church (even if both the electors and those elected believed this to be the case)? I believe not. They never spent a single day fulfilling the functions of popes of the Catholic Church, even if they believed that was what they were doing. Their entire lives were spent within the …More

The subservience of governments to the interests of the globalist elite is even more evident in the planning of ethnic replacement, pursued to erase the religious, cultural, linguistic, and economic identity of states and to better control the masses. From Starmer to Macron, from Rutte to Sanchez, from von der Leyen to Meloni, total surveillance is already being implemented and will become irreversible with the introduction of digital currency and the obligation of a unique ID for access to essential services.
