'If you wish to act as Catholics and as Americans worthy of the name, you must be clearly aware of your responsibility before God: to fight your daily battle to gain Heaven. A battle in which the Lord assures you of the spiritual weapons you need to win: living your life in the state of Grace, persevering in fervent prayer, receiving the Sacraments frequently, assisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and being fruitful in good works'.
Video is 3 days old. I didn't want to post this sort of thing anymore. But when you see people falling for lies it has to be done. For those who want the truth should listen to exactly what is going on. I am not asking anyone to believe anything. But the most intelligent thing a person can do for themselves is to listen to as many sources as possible. " Then" make an intelligent decision. I am leaving another video to listen to because I don't want to make too many posts about this sort of thing. Sorry, I don't want to waste my time on this. I said I would give a list to those I listen to and haven't. I will try harder to do it soon. Max Blumenthal : Protecting Protesters or Manipulating Unrest?

Benedict XVI warned Cardinal Marx in 2021 that Germany's Synodal Way “will do harm and end badly if it is not stopped.” Marx apparently ignored the warning.
Rome Seals Jubilee; Hope Endures Beyond Doors | Shalom World News As the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope has come to a close on 6 January 2026, a solemn ceremony took place on Tuesday night, January 13, as the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore was sealed in a ceremonial rite led by Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, with Monsignor Ľubomír Welnitz and Fr Diego Giovanni Ravelli in attendance. A bronze box was placed within the wall, containing the closing protocol, keys, pontifical medals dating back to 2016, and a commemorative basilica medal. Similar rites are scheduled for the Basilica of Saint John Lateran (Wednesday), Saint Paul Outside the Walls (Thursday), and St. Peter’s Basilica (Friday) as part of the Jubilee’s conclusion. The Jubilee, opened by Pope Francis on Christmas Eve 2024 and officially concluded by Pope Leo, invites the faithful to deeper conversion and mercy.

Zerrt sie ins Scheinwerferlicht, damit jeder sie sehen kann! Die US-Einwanderungsbehörde ICE veröffentlicht jetzt Fotos der gefährlichsten kriminellen illegalen Einwanderer im sogenannten Schutzgebiet Minnesota. Das sind die Verbrecher, die die Linken seit Jahren beschützen und verhätscheln und weswegen gerade die gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen gegen ICE stattfinden. "In einer Pressemitteilung vom 14. Januar gab die US-Einwanderungsbehörde ICE bekannt, dass Operationen in Minnesota zur Festnahme mehrerer krimineller, illegal eingereister Ausländer geführt haben, die mutmaßlich „Gangmitglieder sind … viele von ihnen wegen Gewaltverbrechen verurteilt wurden“. Die Behörde betonte, dass diese Kriminellen zu denjenigen gehörten, die von Politikern wie Tim Walz und Jacob Frey, die sich für sogenannte Sanctuary-Programme einsetzen, geschützt würden. „Dies sind die schlimmsten kriminellen, illegal eingereisten Ausländer, gegen die ICE vorgeht“, heißt es in der Pressemitteilung. „Und genau …More
Das US-Justizministerium hat Ermittlungen gegen Beamte des Bundesstaates Minnesota, darunter Gouverneur Tim Walz und Bürgermeister Jacob Frey, wegen des Verdachts der Verschwörung zur Behinderung der bundesstaatlichen Einwanderungsbehörde eingeleitet. Im Mittelpunkt der Ermittlungen steht 18 U.S.C. § 372, ein Bundesgesetz, das Verschwörungen zur Behinderung von Bundesbeamten bei der Ausübung ihrer Pflichten durch „Gewalt, Einschüchterung oder Drohungen“ unter Strafe stellt, so ein US-Beamter. Ein weiterer Beamter erklärte, die Ermittlungen seien durch öffentliche Äußerungen von Walz und Frey zur kürzlich erfolgten Entsendung Tausender Beamter der Einwanderungs- und Zollbehörde (ICE) und der Grenzschutzbehörde (Border Patrol) in den Großraum Minneapolis ausgelöst worden. Fast 3.000 Bundesbeamte der Einwanderungsbehörde wurden im Rahmen einer großangelegten Operation zur Bekämpfung illegaler Einwanderung und mutmaßlichen Betrugs in Minnesota nach Minneapolis entsandt.

January 15 in Charlotte, in the cold and in front of the chancery, faithful gathered to pray for our diocese, for Bishop Martin, and in reparation for his liturgical directives.
(Feast of St. Marcellus I, Pope and Martyr – January 16) Brothers and Sisters, There is a kind of suffering that comes from the world, and we expect it. The world has always resisted the light. But there is another kind of suffering – sharper, quieter, and harder to bear – when the wound comes from within, when rejection comes not from strangers, but from one’s own. Holy Scripture says of Our Lord: “He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). And on this day, January 16, the traditional calendar places before us a Pope – St. Marcellus I – whose witness is marked by that same sorrowful pattern: not merely opposed by the enemies of the Church, but resisted amid turmoil and rebellion within the household of faith. So the title today is simple. And heavy. Exiled by his own. Pause for a moment and let that phrase do its work. Because it is not only history. It is a pattern. It is a temptation. It is a warning. And it is also – mysteriously – a path that God has …More
Leo XIV’s consistory in January did not involve a general debate, Cardinal Raymond Burke told Edward Pentin for his Substack.com-account on 16 January. The consistory adopted a format closer to Francis’s synods, with discussion confined almost entirely to small groups:"All the discussion took place in the small group, and then in the general session there was simply a report from the secretaries." Divide and Conquer Burke added that the way the consistory was structured did not allow for so-called free interventions. The two plenary sessions permitted only brief interventions: "Each intervention was limited to three minutes, so just 15 cardinals could speak in one session." With more than 160 cardinals present, many were left unheard. In the small groups, "the topics were assigned, and then there was a whole structure that had to be followed at the tables". Every Pope Appoints the Bishops He Wants Beyond the consistory itself, Cardinal Burke expressed concerns about the Pope’s many …More
Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, 79, said that during the consistory on 7-8 January, he did not hear anyone say, "Oh, I’m sorry we didn’t discuss the liturgy". He told the Substack.com-account The Pillar on 13 January, that what Leo XIV will do with the Mass of the Roman Rite is "beyond my pay grade": "I can’t speculate about how he intends to approach the situation. But I can’t imagine a pope who wouldn’t want to bring peace to the Church. I think every pope since St Peter would want that," the cardinal speculated. In general, he found the consistory a "healthy" exercise. "As soon as we got together and realised that the first thing we would do was spend the whole afternoon discussing it, we realised we were already at work. People immediately switched into gear. All three sessions were good." "Not Possible Without Pope Francis" When asked if the lack of collegiality among the cardinals wasn’t the elephant in the room under Francis, Cardinal Czerny denied it, saying: “No, quite the …More

An independent investigation has documented decades of spiritual abuse, psychological control, and systemic governance failures within the Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre. The contemplative community is based at the Sacré-Cœur of Paris, France. Background and timeline The congregation, founded in the late 19th century in connection with the national vow and devotion to the Sacred Heart, is dedicated to liturgical prayer, perpetual adoration, and the reception of pilgrims at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. In June 2021, the congregation initiated an internal review. In 2022, former members were formally included in the process. In February 2023, the sisters publicly acknowledged serious internal abuses, issued an apology, and requested an external investigation. The independent report, completed after 18 months of work, was published in January 2026. Scope of the investigation The commission conducted 159 interviews with current sisters, former members, priests, bishops …More
These “independent commissions” do not understand the meaning of suffering, sacrifice, and self-denial, and call all of this “abuse of power.” It is entirely in line with the post-conciliar church, which is trying to eliminate the cross from Christ's message.
A Patristic Homily on Christian Marriage Beloved brethren, God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. From the beginning He established order, and by order He preserves all things. When He created man and woman, He joined them before transgression, not in disorder, but in unity of life and purpose, in harmony of soul under God. There was no shame in the beginning, because there was no rebellion. The will was upright, and the body obedient. Thus it is written: “The two shall be one.” This oneness signifies unity and indissolubility, not indulgence. Therefore the Lord Himself later proclaimed: “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Divorce is strictly shunned, for it violates the order established by God from the beginning. After the transgression, however, man fell from obedience, and with that fall came disorder. Desire—which had no place before—now inclined the will. The flesh no longer obeyed the soul with ease. In this state of infirmity, marriage was …More
Archbishop John Bonaventure Kwofie of the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra in Ghana has voiced concern over what he described as a growing influence of homosexuality and gay culture within Catholic Seminaries in West Africa, urging Rectors and other Formators to take decisive action and remain faithful to the Church’s teachings on priestly formation. In his Wednesday, January 14 speech at the opening of the 12th Regional Episcopal Conference of West Africa (RECOWA) Rectors’ Conference at St. Paul’s Catholic Seminary, Sowutuom in Accra, Archbishop Kwofie urged those entrusted with the formation of future Priests to carefully discern and nurture Priestly vocations from the outset, warning that inadequate formation at the entry level could contribute to the emergence of homosexual practices within Seminaries. “I am going to talk about one thing that is growing up like a monster in the Seminaries. Please do your best to weed out people of such orientation from our Seminaries because it …
Florida Man’s Split-Second Decision Saves Two Toddlers Caught in Traffic | Shalom World News A routine drive turned into a life-saving moment when a Florida man jumped out of his car to rescue two toddlers who had wandered into the middle of a busy road in Brevard County, narrowly escaping tragedy. The incident unfolded when the two young children, who had slipped unnoticed out of a backyard, began walking into traffic as vehicles approached from both directions. Drivers slowed in confusion, but the danger remained immediate and severe. John Brittingham, a father of five and a grandfather, was driving nearby when he spotted the toddlers standing alone in the roadway. Without hesitation, he stopped his vehicle, jumped out, and ran toward the children, guiding them safely out of harm’s way just moments before a potential collision. “I was terrified,” Brittingham later said. “If anything would’ve happened to them, my whole life would have been ruined.” Brittingham downplayed his actions …More
