Fresh tragedy has struck Niger State as terrorists attacked communities in Agwara Local Government Area, killing at least 40 people and abducting several villagers, including students of St Mary’s Private Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools, Papiri. PremiumTimesNg.com reported on January 4 that the affected schoolchildren were reabducted just days after regaining freedom from an earlier captivity following negotiations with the government. Residents say the attackers operated from the Kainji National Park, leaving communities devastated and families displaced. Reacting to the incident, President Bola Tinubu condemned the attack and directed security agencies to rescue the captives and bring the perpetrators to justice. The Church confirmed the attack. Stephen Kabirat, director of communications for the Diocese of Kontagora, told BusinessDay.ng on January 5 that a parish priest narrowly escaped abduction days earlier. “They vandalised religious items, took two motorcycles and more …थप

Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered a series of talks and homilies on liturgy and sacred music in the U.S. from November 21 to 23, as reported by NCRegister.com on January 3. His main points: - For decades, the Church’s liturgy has "too often been instrumentalized" and has become increasingly politicized. - Church hierarchy has "persecuted and excluded" those who have rightly called attention to liturgical abuses. - "The liturgy is not something that you or I can make up or change, even if we think we are experts—or even if we are bishops. We must be humble before the sacred liturgy, as it has been handed down to us through the Church’s tradition." - It is "even scandalous at times" to sing or play music in churches that is neither liturgical nor sacred. - Quoting Benedict XVI: "As far as the liturgy is concerned, we cannot say that one song is as good as another." - Different kinds of music belong in different places. Liturgical music is set apart exclusively for the worship of God. - …थप
Lexington’s Bishop Stowe on Venezuela: “I lament how the Pope’s words for January 1, the World Day of Prayer for Peace, in which he reiterated the call for an ‘unarmed and disarming peace’ were completely ignored by the US administration in pursuit of its own ill-defined goals and with reckless disregard for human life and rule of law.”
05.01.2025 HOW CAN CARDINALS MCELROY AND RADCLIFFE PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSISTORY ? : VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL IS TRADITIONAL AND OPPOSED TO LGBT IDEOLOGY How can cardinals McElroy and Radcliffe participate in the Consistory when Vatican Council II rational, is ecclesiocentric and supports traditional faith and morals, opposed to LGBT ideology? They must recant or resign. Since they are not doing either there must be an institutional process to check them. With the discovery that ‘the red is not an exception for the blue’, Vatican Council II is no more ‘a revolution’ or a ‘new revelation’ in the Catholic Church. The Church has moved forward since 1965. The interpretation of Vatican Council II by Pope Paul VI to Pope Leo XIV and that of Rahner, Ratzinger, Congar, Lubac, Lehmann, Kung, Guardini and Lefebvre was schismatic. We now have a non schismatic, option, which is rational, traditional and ecclesiocentric. They used the False Premise which created schism.We avoid the False …थप

“The normative elevation of the traditional family, as practiced by the Catholic Church, leads to discrimination against believers who do not live that way,” German Jesuit Klaus Mertes told Zeit.de on December 25. Fr. Mertes became widely known in 2010 as a propagandist for the public handling of clerical homosexual-abuse cases involving male victims within Church institutions in Germany. In the interview, Fr. Mertes warned that the Catholic Church must be vigilant about how the “traditional family” model it explicitly favors can be politically instrumentalized. “The Catholic Church has to be careful that the classical image of the family, which it openly promotes, is not politically misused,” he said. “This keeps happening, and that is a problem.” The Jesuit is a homosexual activist. In several articles over the past decade, he has criticized what he calls "homophobia" within the Church and urged Catholics to “fight for the rights of homosexuals,” arguing that the Church’s prevailing …थप
«There is a form of liturgical reductionism that the most zealous defenders of contemporary Catholicism often fall into. “It is still valid,” they assert, while ignoring that with each detail of the Church’s worship carried out sloppily or without care, a disease spreads among the faithful. The liturgy is not a sacrament machine, and the Mass is not a meal. For generations of medieval Catholics, who often received the Eucharist only once a year yet commonly and voluntarily attended Mass daily, this was clear. Every rubric of this most sacred worship mattered, consecration and communication alike. God deserves our very best. More than those in our romantic lives. More than those in our family lives. Certainly more than those in our professional lives. These loves are not in competition, nor are they opposed to love of God, and they deserve sincere devotion. But one love stands above all others, surpassing and enlivening them.... The rail slows us down. It stills the body. It grants the …थप

BEFORE YOU ENTER THAT MARRIAGE, READ THIS You’re in love. You’ve prayed. You’ve found “the one.” And now, you can’t wait to walk down the aisle. That’s beautiful. Truly beautiful. But before you enter that marriage, pause… and ask yourself: “Is this union valid in the eyes of the Church?” Because in the Catholic Church, not every relationship, no matter how emotional or romantic, can become a sacramental marriage. There are things called impedimentis, spiritual and canonical walls that can make a marriage invalid even if both parties love each other deeply. Let’s walk through them carefully. 1. Already Married to Someone Else (Prior Bond) You cannot marry someone who is already bound by a valid marriage. Love cannot erase a sacrament. Even if the civil court grants a divorce, the Church still recognizes the first valid bond, unless it’s annulled. (Canon 1085) 2. Holy Orders or Religious Vows A priest, deacon, or religious bound by solemn vows cannot marry. He has already given his …थप
La Croix journalists attended a Sunday Mass in Lyon, at the Church of Saint-Georges. Upon leaving, they observed: numerous families with young children; only a handful of older people; some foreigners passing through; and, above all, many young adults.
By Paix Liturgique (Christian Marquant) Nicola Spuntoni, in an article published in Il Giornale on December 16, reveals that the Pope, who has convened an extraordinary consistory for January 7 and 8, will be sending the cardinals a letter before Christmas outlining the three-point agenda for this consistory: their participation in the governance of the Church, synodality, and the liturgical question. It goes without saying that, on this last point, the status of the Traditional Latin Mass after Traditionis Custodes will not be the only topic of discussion, but it is clear that it will be an important one, if not the only raising a debate among the cardinal. This is the opinion of Spuntoni, who is particularly well-informed. It is easy to imagine Cardinals Müller and Burke, and probably Cardinal Brandmüller as well, and others too—Zuppi? Aveline?—advocating for calm. In fact, the media frenzy surrounding that event, not significant in itself but of symbolic importance, as the …
