Watched that film when I was a postulant to the Carmelites in France. In French.. On an overhead projector. One of the sisters, also a postulant had her birthday that day, and requested it. It was the only time we did something like that the whole time I was there (14 months), other than watching a film about St Teresa of Avila..
Throughout 2025, Bishop Daniel Felton of Duluth, Minnesota, has "permitted" nine parishes in the diocese to celebrate the Eucharist ad orientem, with the priest and congregation facing the same direction. The "permissions" were granted following requests from parish priests and on a trial basis. Bishop Felton began with an instruction issued in 2024. He wrote that celebrating the Eucharist facing the pews has been widely adopted in the Church since the Second Vatican Council. He added that some Catholics believe this posture has resulted in a loss of 'a sense of transcendence'. Bishop Felton required that both liturgical postures be treated with mutual respect. Priests had to explain their motivations for celebrating ad orientem to him personally and consult their parishioners beforehand. The frequency of the posture varied by parish. Some communities celebrated ad orientem every Sunday, while others did so once a month. The Diocese of Duluth comprises 69 parishes. The nine parishes …More
When 2016 came around I devided I couldn't vote for Trump because I thought he was the lesser of 2 evils, between Clinton and him, to me he was bad for the nation, but if Clinton would’ve won, the promotion of evil in the country would’ve gone overboard for sure. Trump won and it was because of the constant bash of democrats his administation kept most of its time on putting out fires than elevating the country, from the Russia witchhunt, impeachments, 24 hour a day negative coverage by the media and on and on, people when covid came were a bit overwhelmed. The US wasn’t prepared at all for the virus cooked in China with the help of some powerful people in the american contagious disease administation and the true govt of the US, you know, the one we never elect but always is in power. Covid was just a warmup for what is coming, which is much worse and chaotic, thing the antichrist needs for him to thrive when WWIII comes, as WWIII is critical for him to "save the world" from chaos, …More
On Christmas Eve, Cardinal Pietro Parolin urgently summoned Brian Burch, the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See. He wanted to press for details on Washington’s plans for Venezuela, WashingtonPost.com reported on January 9, citing U.S. government documents. Cardinal Parolin served as apostolic nuncio to Venezuela from 2009 to 2013. He wanted to push for a diplomatic solution that would allow the Venezuelan leader to step aside without bloodshed. Lack of Clarity of US Endgame in Venezuela Cardinal Parolin conceded that Nicolás Maduro had to go, but urged the United States to offer him a safe exit. He warned that a violent escalation risked severe regional destabilization. He reportedly asked whether the United States was targeting "drug traffickers" or pursuing regime change. According to "anonymous sources", Cardinal Parolin suggested that the United States set a clear deadline for Maduro’s departure and provide assurances for his family. He also expressed that he was “very, very, very …More
He also expressed that he was “very, very, very puzzled by the lack of clarity of the U.S. endgame in Venezuela.” IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE FEEDS BACK THE VATICAN THE CRAP THAT THEY THEMSELVES SPEW OUT TO THE FAITHFUL. CONFUSION, NOT ADDRESSING ISSUES, NOT TAKING PROACTIVE MEASURES TO SOLVE THE SEX PROBLEMS, PULLING THE WOOL OVER THE FAITHFUL, CHANGING DOCTRINE, THINK ABOUT THAT - PIOLINEEE WEENIE Before his capture, President Trump offered Nicolás Maduro several "off-ramps," including exile to a friendly country like Turkey, in exchange for stepping down, but Maduro rejected these generous proposals, leading to his eventual military capture by U.S. forces on drug trafficking charges . Reports detail attempts to negotiate a deal involving amnesty for officials and keeping some wealth, which fell through, culminating in Trump authorizing the operation that resulted in Maduro's arrest in early January 2026
Parolin "CONCEDED" Maduro had to go??? Parolin CONCEDED persecutor of Catholic had to go! Of course - Parolin is part of the Masonic sect that persecutes Catholics even more than Maduro. Hence the deal with Chinese Communists, another head of the Snake! All communists and masons are brothers, gravelly tutti!
Once again Trump will go to davos and join K.S. and other evil doers to plot and plan against us. It's what will be said and done behind closed doors that we want to hear and see. Remember..... People better stop with their conspiracies against K.S. and the wef. It "better" come to an end! He is a good friend (k.s.) I knew him for years. You are doing a fantastic job keep it up. then turning to someone he said, he is doing a fantastic job. Each time saying it twice! Is there some connection with the number 2 and masons? I don't know much about it. But he sure does love to say many things twice. When they asked him about Putin's attempted assassination. Now is not the time for that. Now is not the time for that. Which clearly shows he is in on it the whole time. Also remember, handing gates from hell over a billion dollars to continue his poison vax's. And surrounding himself with the most evil people imaginable. Including Lindsey G. Pretending they hated each other. But then trump …More
So much more I would like to write But what for? I will not break the wall of unbelief alone Pretty photos and images, and in souls boundless emptiness Maybe it’s good that I will leave like this I will not remember how much evil I have done So much, O God, I would like to tell You, but time is already running out I will rise, though strength is gone How far I will go—only You know…. Days have grown short, nights long I weep, yet not a single tear falls
Sign in an Indian clinic reading “Prenatal disclosure of sex of foetus is prohibited under law” in English and Hindi. Wikimedia Commons, meg and rahul, CC-BY-2.0 The United Kingdom is on the precipice of decriminalizing abortion, a move that some are predicting will lead to widespread sex-selective abortion practices among certain ethnic groups that prize male children over females. “Britain’s wicked plan allowing abortions up to the point of birth (no other European nation allows the like) will mean many more sex-selective abortions here,” journalist and opinionator Colin Brazier wrote on X. He noted that the murdering of yet to be born girls is “(p)redominantly ordered by fathers from cultures that prize men above women.” Brazier was referring to a report by John Power in The Spectator UK that claimed the about-to-be-voted-on measure — a clause buried in the Crime and Policing Bill alongside 1,482 other amendments — will enable sex-selective abortions. “In June 2025, pro-…
Pope Leo XIV named Monsignor Sithembele Anton Sipuka, 65, as Archbishop of Cape Town on January 9. He succeeds Cardinal Stephen Brislin, who was transferred to Johannesburg in October 2024. Early Life and Formation Sithembele Anton Sipuka was born on April 27, 1960, in Idutywa (Dutywa) in the Eastern Cape. Before entering seminary, he worked for two years as a post office clerk. He was ordained a priest in 1988 for the Diocese of Queenstown, six years before the end of apartheid. In 1992, he was sent to Rome to study at the Pontifical Urban University. Rising Star in the Church In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Sipuka as Bishop of Mthatha. The diocese is rural, located in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province, and has fewer than 40,000 Catholics. Cape Town, by contrast, is one of South Africa’s most prominent sees, with approximately 280,000 Catholics. From 2019 to 2023, Bishop Sipuka served as President of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference. In July 2025, Pope Leo …More
Shocking! It reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode about a totalitarian society that mandated its citizens MUST be happy. When someone displayed any sadness or even indifference - they were executed. So, everyone lived in fear while maintaining a fake facade of cheerfulness!
Tony Blair’s sister-in-law, Lauren Booth/Image: This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s sister-in-law is going viral for defending her despicable comments regarding the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks that targeted civilians. In addition to murdering 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages, there is extensive evidence of the use of rape by Hamas terrorists as a tool of war. But to Blair’s sister-in-law, Lauren Booth, it was a ‘legendary day’ for Muslims. Booth, who is a convert to Islam, spoke with Turkish outlet Yeni Şafak two years ago. But the video has resurfaced and, rather than being embarrassed by her remarks, she has chosen to double down. Booth told the outlet, “After October the seventh, this October the seventh, a legendary day in the ummah’s history. Yes, we can say that people are now picking up the Quran because of the steadfastness and sabbat of the people of Ghazza, …
Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 5:52 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — The number of Catholic priests and seminarians has recently declined worldwide, according to newly released statistics from 2023, as priestly societies devoted to offering the traditional Latin Mass continue to grow. The total number of priests worldwide dropped by 734 from 2022 to 2023 despite a 16 million increase in the number of Catholics, according to the most recently available data, published by the Vatican agency Fides. The number of seminarians during that period also declined proportionately by 1,986, affirming that the longstanding Church crisis has been continuing at least until recently. The year 2023 saw a total of 406,996 Catholic priests, according to Fides, a count that presumably does not include priests of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), which numbered 733 as of November 1, 2025, not including its bishops. The SSPX, by contrast, the largest society of traditional priests, has seen a steady growth in its number of …
Documents such as Fiducia Supplicans on homosexual "blessings" or Mater Populi Fidelis on Our Lady need to be corrected and given a “true interpretation in the sense of the traditional doctrine” in order to remain coherent with tradition, retired Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti told Michael Haynes on 8 January for PelicanPlus.com (Blogger software Ghost.org): "The biggest problem is that we have never had a situation like this before, where the Dicastery or the Magisterium of the Church has become inconsistent and incoherent. That’s the great problem. We have to correct that." The Bishop added: "As we have seen with Fiducia Supplicans, there has been resistance to the document, and good theological arguments have been put forward against it. The document is not well founded. So, resistance is arising, and you can observe that, in a second note, Cardinal Fernández downplays it a little." Regarding Islam, Bishop Eleganti said that he is not "so naive as to think that water and …More
If the Papal 'teaching' is "inconsistent and incoherent", it does not follow or draw upon Christ's teachings which are the essence of consistency and coherency. Inconsistent and incoherent 'teachings' are nothing short of heresy. Any Pope worthy of the Seat would point that out and act accordingly.
“Cum ex Apostolatus Officio” -Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul IV, 1559 In addition, [by this Our Constitution, which is to remain valid in perpetuity We enact, determine, decree and define] that if ever at any time it shall appear that any Bishop, even if he be acting as an Archbishop, Patriarch or Primate; or any Cardinal of the aforesaid Roman Church, or, as has already been mentioned, any legate, or even the Roman Pontiff, prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal or Roman Pontiff, has deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: (i) the promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, void and worthless… Pope Julius II, Council of Lateran V. 1513 It shall be lawful for each and all of the cardinals,…as well as for all the clergy and the Roman people,… to withdraw without penalty and at any time from obedience and loyalty to the person so elected even if he has been enthroned …More
ANTIPOPE bergoglio and ANTIPOPE prevost and their accomplices are servants of satan, and they are enemies of JESUS CHRIST while they attempt to destroy the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH instituted by JESUS CHRIST, and to also destroy souls as the servants of satan always work to get souls to choose the path to hell. The ANTIPOPE bergoglio and the ANTIPOPE prevost continue to seduce souls to remain in their mortal sins, and this will result in the eternal ruin/damnation of each soul including their own souls of anyone who-so-ever of free will commits mortal sin, remains in mortal sin, and then dies unrepentant in mortal sin. The Heresiarch ANTIPOPES bergoglio and his Heresiarch successor prevost and their accomplices no longer remain members of the Catholic Church whose INFALLIBLE MAGISTERIUM teaches otherwise. The INFALLIBLE TRUTH that must be believed by ALL Catholics, the MAGISTERIUM, teaches INFALLIBLY that every manifest, public, pertinacious, FORMAL HERETIC is not a …More
The Chastisement already began with migration, crimes of our governments. Killing off animals, our crops, abortions and so on. I am not worried about it. I welcome it. It's greatest in Ukraine. The most corrupt country in the world. As every evil person in control said, we will fight till the last Ukrainian. Which is their goal. They use Russia to do their dirty work. Knowing full well they can't win against Russia. Then we have trump saying, now is not the time for that. Now is not the time for that. Meaning the attempted assassination of President Putin. The Illumination of our souls is what I want. I rather see all my sins I didn't confess or remember now. Rather than later when I can't do a thing about them. I am not looking forward though to GOD'S anger, disappointments and sadness. That will break my heart. But it's best we know now so we can confess them than to stand before Our Lord when we die. It's possible it's Kurt. People are still upset and are confused and very sad over …More
ADDRESS OF POPE LEO XIV TO MEMBERS OF THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS ACCREDITED TO THE HOLY SEE Hall of Benediction Friday, 9 January 2026 In light of these challenges, we firmly reiterate that the protection of the right to life constitutes the indispensable foundation of every other human right. A society is healthy and truly progresses only when it safeguards the sanctity of human life and works actively to promote it. The primary objective must remain the protection of every unborn child and the effective and concrete support of every woman so that she is able to welcome life. In light of this profound vision of life as a gift to be cherished, and of the family as its responsible guardian, we categorically reject any practice that denies or exploits the origin of life and its development. Among these is abortion, which cuts short a growing life and refuses to welcome the gift of life. In this regard, the Holy See expresses deep concern about projects aimed at financing cross-border mobility …More
