How a Bishop Made Parishioners Pay for the Sale of Their Church

“Our Bishop didn’t just close and sell our church. He swindled parishioners into paying for what turned out to be capital improvements to make the sale more lucrative,” wrote Kevin DiCamillo on CrisisMagazine.com on December 31.
DiCamillo recounts the closure and sale of St. Raphael’s Parish in Niagara Falls, New York, describing what he believes was a serious breach of trust by Bishop Michael Fisher of the Diocese of Buffalo.
In October 2023, Bishop Fisher visited the parish for a well-attended Eucharist and Confirmation. Shortly afterward, parishioners were informed that the bishop had ordered the church interior to be repainted. Families were asked to contribute roughly $250 each toward the project. They did so in good faith, believing the work was necessary for the parish’s continued life.
Soon after the renovation was completed, however, rumors began circulating that the church would be closed. Those rumors proved true.
In early 2024, St. Raphael’s was shuttered and later sold—…Siwaju sii

To be expected by an atheistic bishop (trust me, most of them are). Those of you who have seen my occasional comments know that I have extensive experience in the inner workings of the hierarchy, and that most of these bishops are atheists.

Governor of Arkansas reminds the citizenry of what Christmas is all about

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of the state of Arkansas shut down government offices on Friday, December 26 in celebration of Christmas. Of course she was greatly criticized by the secularists and atheists but she did not back down.
She's the kind of governor and politician the country so badly needs. Elected people are there to serve God and nation. If what the governor did seems so odd, it's because we have fallen so far away from our true Christian calling. Well done Governor Sanders.
Here's the public
statement she released:
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS COME – GREETINGS:
WHEREAS: More than two millennia ago in the little town of Bethlehem, far from the centers of power in first-century Rome, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a humble manger;
WHEREAS: Jesus was the Messiah and became a teacher and leader, and He would be crucified, suffer for the sins of all mankind, die and be buried, and rise again on the third day to sit at the right hand of the Father;
WHEREAS: But on …

Cardinal Sako Explains Remarks on "Normalization of Iraq"

The Christmas Eve homily of Cardinal Louis Raphaël Sako of Baghdad, delivered at the Chaldean Cathedral of St. Joseph, sparked major controversy in Iraq.
He said: “There is talk about normalization, and I hope from the new government that normalization in Iraq and with Iraq will take place. Iraq is the land of the prophets. Just as the Talmud was written in Babylon, the world should come to Iraq, not elsewhere.”
The phrase was quickly interpreted by some Iraqi media and politicians as advocating normalization of relations with Israel.
The Eucharistic celebration was attended by Iraq’s Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who later commented on the homily, saying: “In Iraq, we do not need normalization; rather, we need brotherhood, love, and coexistence”. He added that “normalization” in Iraq’s context was linked to an “occupying entity,” referring to Israel.
Iraq’s parliament passed a law in 2022 that makes it a criminal offense to normalize ties with the Israeli state — …Siwaju sii

Similar to what's currently happening in Minnesota, an investigation into childcare facilities in Ireland last year revealed that 7 of the top 10 highest paid companies responsible for looking after vulnerable kids are operated by African or Muslim migrants. It also revealed massive fraud with forged documents used to secure sums of up to €1 million per year per child. Below are the top 10 private companies paid the most by the Irish government to house vulnerable children :
1 - Baig & Mirza Health Services Ltd- Muhammad Usman Baig and Farhan Mirza, foreign.

More Than 1,000 Cars Burned in France, as New Years' Eve 'Celebrations' in Europe Turn Into a 'Fireworks War' Between Migrants and Police (VIDEOS) | The Gateway Pundit | by Paul Serran

Cars burning on NYE: Macron is presiding over the destruction of France.
The suicidal policy of unchecked mass migration is takings its toll on the European nations.
Among the multiple problems, there’s the fact that the New Years ‘celebrations’ have turned into an excuse for violent migrants to attack police, firefighters and commons citizens with fireworks, turning it into a war.
In many parts of Western Europe, New Year’s Eve has turned into a night when migrant gangs use fireworks to attack police, firefighters, ambulance drivers and regular civilians.
Cities like Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Berlin are turned into war zones.

Camino de Santiago Reaches Record 500,000 Pilgrims

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.

During the deadly New Year’s Eve fire at a crowded ski bar in Crans-Montana, one survivor shared a powerful testimony. She said that a friend of hers had become trapped and could not find a way out. He sat down where he was and held a cross in his hand. According to her, the flames never touched him. "The fire just avoided him. There were flames all around, but not on him. " He later escaped alive. Although officials have not verified the details, the woman described what she witnessed as a miracle.

Une femme présente lors de l'incendie d'un bar de ski en Suisse affirme avoir été témoin d'un miracle : les flammes auraient complètement épargné son ami, qui s'était assis, une croix à la main, lorsqu'il s'est retrouvé piégé. « Un de mes amis ne pouvait pas sortir, alors il s'est simplement assis et a tenu sa croix dans sa main. Le feu l'a épargné. Les flammes ne l'ont pas touché. Elles l'entouraient, mais ne l'ont pas atteint. »

Trump's Plan Could Kill Nursing Schools, 140 Lawmakers Warn

Shutterstock
Advanced Degrees May Cost More Than Students Can Borrow
The Trump administration says nursing is not a professional degree.
That decision, buried inside the biggest student loan overhaul in decades, is now triggering bipartisan backlash in Congress. More than 140 lawmakers signed a letter this month urging the Department of Education to reconsider.
The new borrowing caps could leave nursing students tens of thousands of dollars short of what they need to finish school. And with the country already facing a massive nursing shortage, the timing could not be worse.

Nursing Excluded From Professional Status
The Department of Education identified 10 programs that qualify as professional degrees under the new rules, including medicine, dentistry, and law.
Post-graduate nursing programs are not included in that definition. The distinction matters because it determines how much students can borrow in federal loans.
Professional students get significantly higher borrowing …

The restriction applies only to graduate degrees. Four years of post-secondary education ought to be plenty for most fields of endeavor, including nursing.
