Leo XIV will certainly introduce changes with respect to the previous pontificate, but the challenge posed by Evangelii Gaudium "cannot" be buried — Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández told the consistory on January 7–8. His intervention was published by his friends of ReligionDigital.org. “In fact, Evangelii Gaudium specifies that it is not an obsessive proclamation of all the doctrines and norms of the Church, although necessary and valuable, but above all the proclamation of the core of the Gospel, the kerygma.” Tucho believes that "creativity is needed" to ensure that the proclamation reaches everyone. Protestant-sounding language He argues for an alleged “need to remain open to reforming our practices, styles, and organizations.” Even if denied, he uses the phrase “not out of an obsession with change” and wants “inculturating anew”. He then invokes the anti-Catholic slogan “Ecclesia semper reformanda”, drawn from Reformed theological literature. Tucho also argues against …Zwiṅwe
'Continuity' between Bergoglio and Prevost is a rift with the actual deposit of Faith since the time of the apostles. To not see that makes him either an apostate, or, unkindly, an idiot, either of which would make him unworthy of the task he has been conferred.
Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7 The Lord on earth has a mission, and this is his work: “To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.” Yes, the Lord does this for the body, but the Lord is also present so that we may receive his grace. This grace shows us how to remain with the Lord. Acts 10:34-38 “God shows no partiality.” God is with every person. Matthew 3:13-17 “After Jesus was baptized, he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [and] coming upon him.” John sees the Spirit; this is the sign that the Spirit is already with Jesus.

The - for him - perennial question of why we suffer does not admit easy answers, Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, said in a psychologically dense talk in Madrid, Spain, on January 9, 2026, in the Aula Magna of Universidad CEU San Pablo according to OmnesMag.com. Bishop Varden’s episcopal consecration in 2020 was postponed because he was granted a period of leave to recover his strength from exhaustion. Religion or Life Coaching? Bishop Varden believes that pain “belongs to the human condition and cannot be dissolved by rational arguments.” Christian Faith does not seek to justify suffering or pretend it does not exist. Instead, it places suffering before God with reverence, acknowledging its gravity without turning it into an absolute. Monsignor Varden's central idea is that humanity is wounded, yet not defined by its wounds. “The human condition,” he said, “is a painful condition, but not a definitive one.” Victimism Is a Dead End Suffering may condition life, but it does …Zwiṅwe

God created heaven and earth, and all things therein; distinguishing and beautifying the same. Last of all, the sixth day he createth man; to whom he subjecteth all corporal things of this inferior world. [This book is so called from its treating of the generation, that is, of the creation and the beginning of the world. The Hebrews call it BERESITH, from the Word with which it begins. It contains not only the history of the Creation of the world; but also an account of its progress during the space of 2369 years, that is, until the death of Joseph. God createth Heaven and Earth, and all things therein, in six days.]
1 Samuel 1:1-8 "God loves Hannah." God loves Hannah, and he loves us too. Mark 1:14-20 "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." A question we might ask ourselves is: What would the Lord want to say to people on the road? Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Blessed William Carter Jan. 11 breski1 on Jan 11, 2010 Born in London, William Carter entered the printing business at an early age. For many years he served as apprentice to well-known Catholic printers, one of whom served a prison sentence for persisting in the Catholic faith. William himself served time in prison following his arrest for "printing lewd [i.e., Catholic] pamphlets" as well as possessing books upholding Catholicism. But even more, he offended public officials by publishing works that aimed to keep Catholics firm in their faith. Officials who searched his house found various vestments and suspect books, and even managed to extract information from William's distraught wife. Over the next 18 months William remained in prison, suffering torture and learning of his wife's death. He was eventually charged with printing and publishing the Treatise of Schisme, which allegedly incited violence by Catholics and which was said to have been written by a traitor and addressed to …Zwiṅwe
By Bill & Amy Renje This article is an excerpt from The Final Pieces: Our Spiritual Journey The Calling Amy’s journey home to Catholicism began as she looked around our church home at the time – both our former megachurch as well as the smaller churches we began attending – and just felt like something wasn’t right, something was missing. She had grown tired of the production, the gimmicks, the entertainment, the social aspect of the larger church, while feeling like the smaller churches were just evangelical “starter kits” as she called them. They’re just smaller versions with the exact same formats, that looked the same and sounded the same. Even though something was off, she couldn’t quite put it together: I just started praying to God, ‘what do you want me to do?’ I remember looking around the church and I said, ‘is this what it’s supposed to look like?’ and I remember when I was having that conversation in my head, it was during praise and worship. Everybody’s singing, …
A federal appeals court has ruled against the Satanic Temple's religious-based challenge of Indiana's near-total abortion ban. On Jan. 6, 2026, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit sided with a 2023 lower court opinion that the group lacked standing to sue because it did not present evidence that at least one Hoosier adherent was actually harmed. "This lawsuit was ridiculous from the start, but this unanimous court decision is a critical victory because it continues to uphold our pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally rock-solid," Attorney General Todd Rokita said in a press release. Under Indiana law, abortion is allowed only in very narrow circumstances: cases of fatal fetal anomalies, threats to the mother's life, and pregnancies before 10 weeks' gestation caused by rape or incest. Lawyers for the Satanic Temple argued that these restrictions conflict with the religious practices of its Hoosier adherents. The group holds as one of its central tenets …

11.01.2025 NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER, SSPX ALIGNED ON VATICAN COUNCIL II AND EENS : RATIONAL PREMISE UNITES Will the National Catholic Reporter and the SSSPX choose the Rational Premise to interpret Vatican Council II in harmony with ‘the strict interpretation’ of the dogma extra ecclesium nulla salus , the Athanasius Creed and the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX ? The National Catholic Reporter and the Society of St. Pius X in the same doctrinal boat? When Cardinal Walter Kasper and Bishop Bernard Fellay affirm Vatican Council II with the Rational Premise they are aligned with Feeneyite extra ecclesium nulla salus (EENS). No liberal - traditionalist division exists. When Pope Leo interprets Vatican Council II with the Rational Premise he is a rad trad on EENS. But the rad trad is a liberal like Bishop Robert Barron, if he chooses to interpret Vatican Council II rationally and not like Balthazar. Barron is then no more a liberal. Can you picture this? This the National Catholic …Zwiṅwe
