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
About 40 people dead and 115 injured in fire at Swiss Alpine bar during New Year's celebration CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — About 40 people were killed and another 115 injured, most of them seriously, after a fire ripped through a bar’s New Year celebration in a Swiss Alpine resort less than two hours after midnight Thursday, police said. Authorities did not immediately have an exact count of the deceased. The Crans-Montana resort is best known as an international ski and golf venue, and overnight, its crowded Le Constellation bar morphed from a scene of revelry into the site of one of Switzerland’s worst tragedies. The country will hold five days of mourning.

Two women told French broadcaster BFMTV they were inside when they saw a male bartender lifting a female bartender on his shoulders as she held a lit candle in a bottle. The flames spread, collapsing the wooden ceiling, they told the broadcaster. One of the women described a crowd surge as people frantically tried to escape from a basement nightclub up a narrow flight of stairs and through a narrow door. Another witness speaking to BFMTV described people smashing windows to escape the blaze, some gravely injured, and panicked parents rushing to the scene in cars to see whether their children were trapped inside. The young man said he saw about 20 people scrambling to get out of the smoke and flames and likened what he saw to a horror movie as he watched from across the street. One of the people unaccounted for was an Italian, Giovanni Tamburi, whose mother Carla Masielli issued an appeal for any news about her son and asked the media to show his photo in hopes of identifying him, …okunengi

Attendance at papal events increased by 88 percent in 2025, rising to 3.17 million participants, after more than a decade of sustained decline during the pontificate of Pope Francis. At the beginning of Francis’ pontificate, attendance exceeded 7.3 million, one of the highest levels ever recorded. From that point onward, participation declined almost uninterruptedly. By 2024, attendance had fallen to 1,682,100, less than a quarter of the levels seen in 2013. The loss of engagement unfolded gradually but consistently, with no year reversing the trend in a meaningful way. During the final months of Francis’ pontificate in early 2025, only 262,820 people attended papal events. His last general audience took place on 12 February, shortly before his hospitalization and death. By that stage, public participation had reached historically low levels. The election of Leo XIV in May produced an immediate numerical increase. From May to December, 2.9 million people attended papal events, with …okunengi
Time will if Prevost's trajectory mirrors his 'boss'. His 'honeymoon' is just about over and many are already on to him. We are (once again) increasingly becoming a Church of 'desert adherents'.
The “appointment of anti-Catholic Bishops” wasn’t the only reason nor the most significant reason for Francis’ decline in popularity leading to a decline in attendance at Papal events, although it was certainly one of the factors. There are several others which must be taken into consideration.
Pope visits nativity scene on New Year Eve 2025 | Shalom World News After presiding over his first Te Deum in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo stepped into the open embrace of St. Peter’s Square to visit the Nativity Scene, honoring a cherished tradition of the Roman Pontiff during the Octave of Christmas. Beneath the winter sky, the Holy Father paused in prayer before the humble manger that proclaims the mystery of the Incarnation. He then turned to the faithful gathered in the square, offering his blessing with quiet warmth. The moment unfolded with gentle joy as the Pope greeted the guards and pilgrims, received the affectionate hugs of children, and joined his voice to the Christmas hymns sung by the choir. It was an evening marked not by ceremony alone, but by closeness—faith made visible through simplicity, song, and shared joy.

Book of Numbers 6,22-27. The LORD said to Moses : "Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them: The LORD bless you and keep you! The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace! So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them." Psalms 67(66),2-3.5.6.8. May God have pity on us and bless us; may he let his face shine upon us. So may your way be known upon earth; among all nations, your salvation. May the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity; the nations on the earth you guide. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you! May God bless us, and may all the ends of the earth fear him!

What I think is that this guy's fruitcake hair indicates that he is likely detached from reality, and, while any actual facts spoken by him should be weighed carefully, any conclusions drawn by him should be considered utterly bonkers until and unless arrived at independently.
Netherlands Church Burned to the Ground on New Year’s Eve: The historic Vondelkerk Church in Amsterdam was severely damaged by a fire shortly after midnight on New Year’s Eve. The church was desecrated in 1977 and has not been used for Eucharistic services since then. The fire broke out in the early hours of 1 January. The cause of the fire is under investigation. It is believed that youth gangs using fireworks were responsible for the fire. The church’s roof and tower collapsed, and the authorities confirmed that the building could not be saved. Nearby residents were evacuated as a precaution, and there have been no reports of injuries or fatalities. Built in the 19th century, the church was a protected historic landmark and cultural venue.

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".

Wars are part of this; you are experience bacteriological warfare and wars with arms. War has as its objective the extermination of a large part of humankind. In war, the human race unleashes what is most cruel and unimaginable within itself. War ultimately signifies the power of some nations over others, the cost of that power being the cruelest act of humankind. How I grieve over this!
