Prophecies
“The heavenly hurricane will come to help the weak, a battalion led by the Archangel Saint Michael, who will defend you because he will announce the decisive moment, and he will be open to hearing the drums, flutes and bells, able to stand fast and fight with the prayer of the Magnificat.”
She foresees a light coming from heaven, although she did not say whether this light will be visible or invisible, it is just that it will help us to enlighten. “Little by little man will begin to understand the order of the mystical world and in this way, everything will become green and full of hope, with the sweet gaze of Mary and the work of the Holy Spirit, and with the Father who lives and reigns always and forever in a world without end. ”
For Maria Esperanza: “the time has come when humanity must wake up, we must awaken to the love of God. In the coming years a new light from heaven will light our hearts, but before that …

THE CARDINALS AT THE CONSISTORY ARE SCHISMATIC : THEY CANNOT EVEN DENY IT
For the cardinals at the Consistory this month the Athanasius Creed has exceptions in Vatican Council II but for me there are no exceptions. The red is not an exception for the blue, for me. For the cardinals and the pope, the baptism of desire is an exception for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442. For me it is not an exception.
The Nicene Creed for Pope Leo is: I believe in three or more baptisms for the forgiveness of sin. There is the baptism of desire, baptism of blood, being saved in invincible ignorance etc, all without the baptism of water.For me there is only one visible and repeatable baptism, the baptism of water. We cannot give anyone the baptism of desire.
So the Athanasius Creed for Pope Leo and Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, Prefect, of the Dicastery for the Doctirne of the Faith, Vatican. says outside the Catholic Church there is known salvation …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

Maduro’s capture wasn't about oil

The image of Nicolás Maduro in US custody has inevitably resurrected the ghosts of foreign policy past. For the reflexively cynical observer, the narrative writes itself: a Republican White House, a Latin American strongman, and the world’s largest proven oil reserves. As with Iraq in 2003, the slogan of American imperialism and its ‘blood for oil’ foreign policy circulated on social media before the dust had even settled over Caracas. ‘The overnight strikes on Venezuela,’ declared the Guardian, and Trump’s neo-imperial ‘declaration that the US would run the country and sell its oil, have driven another truck through international law and global norms’. This is a comfortable, nostalgic critique, harking back to the heady days of 2003. It is also dangerously wrong.
Maduro was not merely a socialist pariah; he was a strategic landlord
To view the dramatic defenestration of the Venezuelan regime as a resource raid is to misunderstand the fundamental shift in American grand strategy.…

Die Behauptung, die USA seien auf dieses Öl nicht angewiesen, ist realitätsfern. Die Vereinigten Staaten verfügen über schätzungsweise 35 Milliarden Barrel Schweröl, dessen Förderung technisch aufwendig ist. Bei einem jährlichen Verbrauch von rund 7,3 Milliarden Barrel wäre dieser gesamte Bestand rechnerisch bereits nach etwa fünf Jahren aufgebraucht. Im Vergleich dazu besitzt Venezuela mit ungefähr 300 Milliarden Barrel ein um ein Vielfaches größeres Ölreservoir.

Vicar General of Next New York Archbishop Attended Homosex "Wedding" of Chancellor

Vicar General Richard Smith of the diocese of Joliet attended the homosexual “wedding” of the diocese’s chancellor, Robert Salvato, on December 13.
ComplicitClergy.com stated on January 5 that there is an eyewitness who confirms that the vicar general was in attendance. Additionally, two other sources identified the vicar general featured in photos from the "wedding".
Monsignor Ronald Hicks, 58, was installed as Bishop of Joliet in July 2020. On 1 December 2020, he appointed the pro-homosexual priest Richard Smith as vicar general and, in 2021, the homosexual Salvato as his chancellor.
On 18 December, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Hicks as Archbishop of New York. He will be installed as the new Archbishop in February.
On December 23, Leo XIV declined to comment on his controversial appointment of Ronald Hicks to New York.

‘Commentary on the Apocalypse’ by Saint Victorinus - From the Second Chapter – part 1 0f 1 – points 2-28

[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; Roman Greece/Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian]
“From the Second Chapter
2. I know your works, and your labour, and your patience. In the first epistle He speaks thus: I know that you suffer and work, I see that you are patient; think not that I am staying long from you.
And that you can not bear them that are evil, and who say that they are Jews and are not, and you have found them liars, and you have patience for My name's sake. All these things tend to praise, and that no small praise; and it behooves such men, and such a class, and such elected persons, by all means to be admonished, that they may not be defrauded of such privileges granted to them of God. These few things He said that He had against them.

"4, 5. And you have left your first love: remember whence you have fallen. He who falls, falls from a height: therefore He said whence: because, even to the very last, works of love must be practised; and this is the principal commandment. Finally, unless this is done, He threatened to remove their candlestick out of its place, that is, to disperse the congregation."

Nun Threatened Inside Church in Moissac: A video is circulating online again that originally showed an incident that occurred on 26 October 2025 inside the Abbatiale Saint-Pierre de Moissac in Moissac, southern France. According to reports at the time, a man entered the church and behaved aggressively. He shouted and threatened a Catholic nun, raising his fist as if about to strike her at one point, before leaving. The scene was filmed and later spread widely on social media. The man was said to have psychiatric issues.

Good for her. France lost the faith decades ago. A female friend of ours was born in Paris over 80 years ago and was thrown thru a glass picture window by a Muslim as she was leaving the theatre. She was 16 at the time. When I asked her why, she said Muslim men attack French women to arouse the males.

— “My mom is living her life all wrong. I really want to help her…”
— “Help her how, exactly?”
— “Teach her how to live the right way.”
— “And you?”
— “What about me?”
— “Are you living the right way?”
— “Why are we talking about me? I’m talking about my mom!”
That’s how this story began—an ordinary one, yet deeply revealing.
Sitting across from me was a young, beautiful woman in a bright dress, wrists full of shiny bracelets. Confident. Modern. Put together.
Her mother, she said, lived “the wrong way.” Because despite having an apartment and even a voucher for a wellness resort, she stubbornly refused to relax. Instead, she wanted her garden, her vegetable beds, her potatoes.
“I’ve told her a hundred times—just buy the potatoes, I’ll pay!” the daughter complained. “All she and her friends talk about are their grandkids.”
“And what do you think they should be talking about?” I asked.
“Spiritual growth,” she said without hesitation.
“And you?” I smiled.

Because she understood: everything she has today grew out of those garden beds.
“But you’re only talking about material things,” she objected softly. “There’s also spirituality, trust, love…”
“It’s easy to talk about spirituality when your fridge is full,” I replied.
“It’s much harder when it’s empty. Your mother gave you everything she could. And it worked—you now have choices. How to live. What to believe in. And now—it’s your turn.”

God is a Woman: The Feminist Theology of Sister Simona Brambilla

A year ago, the news surprised the Catholic world: on January 6, 2025, Pope Francis appointed the first woman to head a Vatican dicastery. The Consolata missionary Simona Brambilla was named to oversee more than 600,000 religious sisters and brothers (including 128,559 priests) worldwide.
No less unprecedented was the appointment of a pro-prefect, a position not previously provided for by curial norms in this case. Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, SDB, assumed this role, whose performance remains opaque.
The major secular media outlets cheered the news: «opening» toward women, «pink revolution,» «female empowerment» in the Church. The clichés delighted Francis, who dreamed of «demasculinizing» the Church, although he had already commented, without fear of falling into inconsistency, that appointing a woman to a dicastery would be something merely «functional.»
The new prefect had illustrious predecessors, such as Cardinal José de Calasanz Félix Santiago Vives y Tutó, OFM Cap. (1908-…

Scottish Bishops On "Draconian" Abortion Buffer Zone Law - Envisages Criminalising Prayer

On 6 January, the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland published a statement addressing Scotland’s abortion buffer zone legislation. It follows the first person charged under the new law.
The legislation establishes exclusion zones of up to 200 metres around approximately 30 abortion facilities nationwide. Within these zones, conduct deemed to 'influence' decisions relating to abortion may constitute a criminal offence.
The bishops described the law as vague and draconian, adding that it restricts critical voices from democratic debate in the public sphere.
The statement followed the arrest of Rose Docherty, 75, who was detained in autumn 2025 for holding up a sign in silence. It read: "Coercion is a crime. Here to talk. Only if you want." Ms Docherty was standing within the buffer zone surrounding the abortion facility at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Ms Docherty was released after several hours in custody and later appeared in court.
The bishops noted that, when consulted on the …sɔgbɔ ɖe edzi

Abortion Was the Leading Cause of Death Worldwide in 2025, Killing 73 Million People

Abortion Was the Leading Cause of Death Worldwide in 2025, Killing 73 Million People - LifeNews.com

More human beings died from abortions than any other cause of death in 2025.
A heartbreaking reminder about the prevalence of abortion,
statistics compiled by Worldometers indicate that there were over 73 million abortions world-wide in 2025. The independent site collects data from governments and other organizations and then reports the data each day, along with estimates and projections, based on those numbers.
Worldometers bases its daily abortion figures on a May 2024 fact sheet from the World Health Organization, which estimates a tragically high number of babies killed in abortions.
“Around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year,” the WHO says.
Abortion is also the leading cause of death in the United States.
“In the USA, where nearly 30% of pregnancies are unintended and 40% of these are terminated by abortion, there are between 1,500 to 2,500 abortions per day. Nearly 20% of all pregnancies in the USA (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. Guttmacher …
