Puppet Show During Eucharist: On December 27, the Sunday after Christmas, All Saints Church in Syracuse, New York hosted a puppet show during the homily. Parish priest Rev. Frederick Daley admits to experiencing homosexual temptations. He invited a woman to present the performance. She has been staging what she calls "puppet liturgies" for over thirty years. The audience consisted of few elderly people. During the show, the puppets asserted that the Holy Family—Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—were refugees. The presentation repeatedly drew parallels between this Gospel account and modern immigrants within the parish and the broader community. The audience was told that modern-day refugees should be understood as equivalent to the original Holy Family and should not be viewed as strangers.

JANUARY 3 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 1,29-34. John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. He is the one of whom I said, 'A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.' I did not know him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel." John testified further, saying, "I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from the sky and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the holy Spirit.' Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God."
The Shroud Speaks: Christ’s Passion Verified Scientifically Fr. Altier discusses the intersection of faith and science, highlighting how archaeological and scientific discoveries consistently support the accuracy of scripture. He specifically mentions the Shroud of Turin, emphasizing its extensive scientific study and the evidence suggesting it is the burial shroud of Jesus, despite the carbon-14 dating controversy. He concludes by noting the scientific analysis of the shroud’s image, revealing its mathematical perfection and the impossibility of its creation by human means. Scientific analysis of the Shroud of Turin, including AI technology, provides evidence supporting its authenticity and the crucifixion of Jesus. While science can verify beliefs, it cannot create faith, which is an intellectual virtue that requires living out one’s beliefs in charity. The Shroud serves as a reminder of the truth of Jesus’ divinity and the importance of faith in salvation. Faith must be moved from …Дагы

The Most Holy Name of Jesus - January 3 / el 3 de enero El Santísimo Nombre de Jesús. calendario anterior: 2 de enero hagiografía:«Vidas de los santos de A. Butler», Herbert Thurston, SI El santísimo Nombre de Jesús, a cuyo solo nombre toda rodilla se dobla, en el cielo, en la tierra y en el abismo, para gloria de la Divina Majestad. En la Sagrada Escritura se da gran importancia al nombre. Expresa el ser de las cosas o su misión en el mundo. Dios da cima a la creación poniendo nombre a sus criaturas, y luego pasa a Adán el mismo encargo. E1 nombre dado en el nacimiento expresa el destino del que lo lleva. E1 nombre viene a ser como la persona misma, y cambiar a alguien el nombre es imponerle una nueva personalidad. Así Dios cambia el nombre a Abram y a Jacob, y Jesús a Simón que en adelante se llamará Pedro. Cuando José y María llevaron al Niño al tempo para circuncidarlo, le pusieron por nombre Jesús, que quiere decir Salvador. No era un nombre al azar, sino por intimación …Дагы

A 1987 interview with Archbishop Lefebvre, which reveals his mind prior to the 1988 consecrations. "Today however, it is the Faith itself which is at stake. I sense that the ‘conciliar’ Church changes and places the very centre of the Catholic Faith in danger. For this reason obedience is no longer possible; for even the Pope does not have the power to change the Faith, he is but a servant of the Faith. To accept Religious Liberty, Ecumenism, the Conciliar Reforms, would appear to me to be contributing to the ‘auto-demolition’ of the Church. In conscience, that is not possible for me. The Liberalism of the Pope is destroying the Catholic Faith from within." “If it is my duty, I will consecrate bishops”
This 25-year-old Swedish woman was murdered and dismembered near a train station by a man who had legally changed his name to a woman's name. He had previously been charged with kidnapping a 10-year-old child and possessing tens of thousands of images of child pornography, for which he served only one and a half years in prison. Due to his previous crimes, the police granted him protected personal information, making it impossible for anyone to find out where he lives and leaving people unable to avoid him. Now, he could end up in a women's prison.
Yes @Faith Hope Charity is right! We are inundated and grieving over all this apparent tragedy and evil but the answer to it is to pray! Pray for the victims and the perpetrators. Stories like these make one feel anger and hopelessness, but that is not a wholesome way to deal with these problems!
The Camino de Santiago has continued its record-breaking run, with the past pilgrimage year surpassing all previous highs. For the first time, more than half a million pilgrims completed the route and received their Compostela certificate. According to statistics from the Pilgrims’ Office in Santiago de Compostela, 530,987 people arrived at the shrine of the Apostle James. Women accounted for 53.4 percent of all pilgrims, outnumbering men by nearly 35,000. Spaniards once again formed the largest national group with 228,527 pilgrims, followed by visitors from the United States (43,980), Italy (26,680), and Germany (24,356). Even at the end of the year, the Camino remained busy: 257 pilgrims arrived on New Year’s Eve alone. The upward trend is expected to continue. Numbers are likely to rise again in 2026 and especially in 2027, when the next Holy Year will be celebrated, occurring whenever the feast of St. James on July 25 falls on a Sunday. #newsDxrrepeeox
Trump Praises the Pope’s “MAGA Brother”: On 30 December, President Donald Trump hosted Louis Prevost, the brother of Pope Leo XIV, at a private gathering at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump introduced Prevost and his wife, Deborah, to the guests. Trump expressed his admiration for the Pope's brother, recalling that when the new Pope was elected earlier this year, television coverage showed him outside his home surrounded by MAGA signs — a moment that Trump said made him "love this guy". A vocal Trump supporter, Louis Prevost has drawn attention for political posts that contrast with his brother’s positive views on immigration.

Remarkable Transformation: St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church in Ames, Iowa, has undergone a transformation from its 1972 modernist design to create a more sacred space. In the early 2000s, the original narthex was demolished in preparation for the renovation. Although a new narthex was completed in 2005, the church renovation itself did not proceed at that time. In early 2023, the priest of St. Cecilia's commissioned a renovation project with three main objectives: to increase the amount of natural light, to harmonise the church with the existing narthex and to incorporate sacred art and furnishings. Explore the before-and-after images.
Before and After: St. Cecilia's Catholic Church in Ames, Iowa
Home » Architecture » Before and After: St. Cecilia's Catholic Church in Ames, Iowa One of the architects at SVPA Architects, an architectural firm based in West Des Moines, lowa, recently reached out to LAJ to inform us of a recently completed a renovation at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church in Ames, lowa -- a church that was only rededicated this past July 24th (the photos here predate that please note, hence why there are no altar cloths or candlesticks upon the altar). They have provided us with the following detailed background about the church and the project in question: St. Cecilia's current church and parish hall was originally built in 1972 in a modernist style.. There was very little in the way of liturgical art, the altar and other sanctuary furnishings were movable, the tabernacle was located off the central axis, and the narthex was dimly lit... In the early 2000s the original narthex was torn down with the intent to build a new narthex and a new church in a second phase.…
Looks like random discarded "stuff" in someone's basement. The flattened spirituality of priests is well represented in that horrible excuse for "liturgical art".

As the Archdiocese of Dubuque finalizes its "Journey in Faith" plan, Catholics in northeast Iowa are grappling with parish consolidations, fewer weekend Mass sites, and a shift toward evangelism amid priest shortages and declining attendance.
Pretty simple solution - Have Vespers Saturday night, and one Holy Mass on Sunday from 10:00am - 12:00 noon. Then have a pot luck lunch ( Like the Orthodox )
Cut the crap... the real problem is not enough priests - even with church attendance in single digits. Reduce Mass locations? That just means you "hope" people will care enough to travel to get to a N.O. Mass far from their locale so it will "look" full. But the decline is still happening! There is NO increase!!
