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.

‘Life of Mary’ by Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich; Chapter 2 -ST. ANNE AND ST. JOACHIM ; pages 37-40; points 2.1 & 2.2

[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Flamschen, Holy Roman Empire/Dulmen, German Confederation; Mystic; Stigmatist, Writer]
2.1 JOACHIM IS SPURNED AT THE TEMPLE AND GOES TO STAY WITH HIS FLOCKS.
After having besought God’s blessing on their marriage for so many years in vain, I saw that Joachim was minded to offer another sacrifice at the Temple. He and Anna prepared themselves for this by penitential devotions. I saw them lying on the hard earth in prayer during the night, girt in penitential garments; after which Joachim went at sunrise across the country to where his herds were pasturing, while Anna remained at home by herself.
Soon after this I saw Anna sending him doves, other birds and many different things in cages and baskets. They were all taken to him by menservants to be offered up in the Temple. He took two donkeys from the pasture, and loaded them with these baskets and with others into which he put, I think, three very lively little white creatures with …Okunengi

"Whereupon this maidservant attacked her so violently, declaring that her barrenness and Joachim’s desertion of her was God’s punishment for her severity, that Anna could not bear to have her in her house any more. She sent her back to her parents with presents and accompanied by two menservants, with the request that they would take back their daughter who had been entrusted to her, as she could not keep her in her house any longer."

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.…

True art is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold. Unfortunately, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so many may say the original was better. Even though you cannot argue taste, the new one IS a huge improvement over the original one.

The 1970s are over.

refer to St Thomas Aquinas on immigration...according to the Saint, one requirement is that the immigrant not change the existing culture. Certain basic beliefs must be the same. Prior immigrants from Italy, Poland, France, etc were from countries/cultures that understood Christendom (granted, often honored in the breach)

Catholic Oratory Inaugurated in Argentine Senate: The Argentine Senate inaugurated a Catholic oratory within its institutional headquarters, dedicated to Saint María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa, also known as “Mamá Antula.” The ceremony was presided over by Vice President and Senate President Victoria Villarruel and attended by civil and ecclesiastical authorities, including the Apostolic Nuncio to Argentina, Archbishop Mirosław Adamczyk, and the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires, Father Pedro Cannavó, along with senior Senate officials. Villarruel said the oratory — a space for prayer and reflection — will progressively incorporate Marian devotions from different Argentine provinces, such as Our Lady of Itatí, Our Lady of the Valley of Catamarca, and Our Lady of Luján, reflecting the federal character of the Senate. Victoria Villarruel attends Holy Masses at an FSSPX chapel in Buenos Aires.

Un oratoire catholique inauguré au Sénat argentin

Le Sénat argentin a inauguré un oratoire catholique le 23 décembre, sous le patronage de sainte María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa, plus connue là-bas sous le nom de Mamá Antula. La cérémonie, présidée par la vice-présidente de la Nation et présidente du Sénat, Victoria Villarruel, a réuni d’éminentes autorités ecclésiastiques et des représentants du monde institutionnel, créant ainsi un espace permanent de recueillement et de prière au cœur de la vie parlementaire argentine.
Un geste d’importance institutionnelle
L’ouverture de cet espace n’introduit aucune nouveauté juridique, mais constitue un geste lourd de sens à une époque où les relations entre foi, État et vie publique sont souvent source de tensions. Le nouvel oratoire, situé au troisième étage du Palais législatif, est désormais un lieu de prière et de recueillement pour celles et ceux qui travaillent quotidiennement au Sénat.
Le choix de la sainte patronne n’est pas fortuit. Sainte María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa …

Benedict XVI On His Writings: "Who Is Going to Read All That?"

In his English homily (excerpted below), delivered at the Eucharist in memory of Pope Benedict XVI on the eve of the third anniversary of his death, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller praised the former pope for his theological legacy [and despite the fact that Ratzinger’s pontificate paved the way for Bergoglio's].
“As prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he set standards of the highest diligence, intellectual precision, and incorruptibility for the Roman Magisterium.”
And: “During his pontificate, he was one of the greatest theologians on the Cathedra Petri.”
And again: “He has left us an immense theological legacy of exceptional quality and was rightly recognized as one of the great Catholic intellectuals of our time.”
For the Writer, Not the Reader
When Cardinal Müller presented Pope Benedict XVI with the first volume of the Opera Omnia, he explained that the project would eventually comprise 16 volumes amounting to an estimated 25,000–30,000 pages.
