Andy The Gabby Cabby @gabby_cabby REALITY CHECK Last night’s London fireworks weren’t just a celebration — they were messaging. England was quietly redefined. England was blurred into the “United Kingdom.” England is a country. The UK is a statutory political union — not a nation. When people don’t know the difference, power fills the gap. Identity is softened. Consent is manufactured. This wasn’t accidental. And it wasn’t harmless. Most people were never taught this. Watch the breakdown. Share if this made you stop and think.
The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God January 1 – Feast of Mary, Mother of God Beloved in the Lord, let us lift our minds to the glorious Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, in whom the mercy of the Most High has wrought a wonder beyond all human understanding. In the beginning, the Creator fashioned man and woman in His image, to be fruitful, holy, and obedient, living in harmony with His will. In that first paradise, marriage and the lusts of the flesh were not yet needed, for man and woman were to bear fruit in virtue, in obedience, and in communion with God. The Fall brought corruption; the desires of the flesh entered, and marriage was permitted as a concession to human weakness (Genesis 3:16). But behold the Virgin Mary, the New Eve, who, in humility and obedience, restores what was lost. She bears the New Adam, our Lord Jesus Christ, yet remains ever-virgin. Her fruitfulness is not of the flesh, but of the Spirit, producing the salvation of the world and the spiritual children of the …More

As the Archdiocese of Dubuque finalizes its "Journey in Faith" plan, Catholics in northeast Iowa are grappling with parish consolidations, fewer weekend Mass sites, and a shift toward evangelism amid priest shortages and declining attendance.
Pretty simple solution - Have Vespers Saturday night, and one Holy Mass on Sunday from 10:00am - 12:00 noon. Then have a pot luck lunch ( Like the Orthodox )
Cut the crap... the real problem is not enough priests - even with church attendance in single digits. Reduce Mass locations? That just means you "hope" people will care enough to travel to get to a N.O. Mass far from their locale so it will "look" full. But the decline is still happening! There is NO increase!!
The setting of the date of 1960 for the opening of the third part of the secret of Fatima is a central fact, attested by the Archives of the Diocese of Leiria. Sister Lucie wrote this text in April 1944, on the explicit order of her bishop, and placed it in a sealed envelope. This envelope bears the indication that it should be opened at the latest in 1960, an indication confirmed by Bishop João Venâncio in several testimonies of the 1950s. In a letter from 1955, preserved in the Archives of the Holy Office, Sister Lucie states that the secret should be known in 1960 because “then it will be clearer”. We are under Pius XII and it speaks neither of a change of pope, nor of a breach of legitimacy, nor of a judgment against Roman authority. This clarification excludes any interpretation that the date was chosen to denounce a future pope. It is fundamental to remember that, in the logic of the apparitions, this date is not a human initiative but an indication received and transmitted under …More
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. »
"THE FAKE REFORM DESTROYING THE CHURCH!" LINK: youtube.com/watch?v=sue_hMQPzH0 LIFESITE Professor William A. Thomas delivers a sobering analysis of the moral and spiritual unraveling of the West, tracing its roots to humanity’s rebellion against God and the Church’s retreat from truth. He critiques the rise of doctrinal ambiguity, the silence on sin and hell, and the emotionalism driving today’s “synodal” experiments. Thomas warns that modernism, relativism, and Marxist ideologies are being repackaged as reform, while in reality they are eroding catechesis, doctrine, and Catholic identity. He urges a return to the clarity of apostolic teaching, devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, and the sacred liturgy.

On this day, January 3rd, the Church celebrates the Most Holy Name of Jesus! The celebration was established eight days after the birth of Christ, when he was circumcised and named Jesus. Despite its origins being as old as Christianity itself, the devotion to the name of Jesus developed primarily from the 12th and 13th centuries onwards. The first references to devotion to the "Holy Name" can be found in the texts of Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1109) and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1153). However, the great "Apostle" of devotion to the Most Holy Name of Jesus is Saint Bernardino of Siena (1444). This Franciscan priest traveled throughout Italy preaching devotion to the name of Jesus, often as a means of reconciling rival families and factions. Saint Bernardino used to preach holding a tablet with the monogram IHS, formed by the first three letters of the name of Jesus in Greek (Iota-Epsilon-Sigma). Later, the abbreviation was also interpreted as the Latin acronym "Jesus Hominum Salvator …More
People love saying “all religions lead to God” because it sounds polite, enlightened, and non confrontational, but the moment you slow down and actually think about what that claim means, it completely falls apart. If all religions lead to the same God, then truth no longer matters, contradiction no longer matters, and doctrine is just aesthetic preference. At that point, God is no longer Someone who has revealed Himself, but a vague spiritual concept you can project anything onto. And then you have to ask the obvious question: if all paths are equal, are we really saying that a blue-skinned Hindu deity with multiple arms, a trident, and an entirely different cosmology is just another costume God put on? Are we supposed to pretend this is just another “route” to the same destination, like choosing Waze instead of Google Maps? Because if that’s the case, then why not go further and say a Marvel-like character named Shiva leads me to God too? If doctrine doesn’t matter, history doesn’t …More
“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—…More
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.

Young Europeans Welcome 2026 in Prayer | Shalom World News As 2025 gave way to 2026, thousands of young Catholics and Christians from diverse traditions converged on Paris, transforming the city into a living pilgrimage of prayer, song, and hope. From December 28 to January 1, the French capital and the wider Île-de-France region hosted the 48th European Meeting organized by the Taizé Community—an ecumenical journey drawing 15,000 young people aged 18 to 35, including 1,000 participants from Ukraine. Nearly 60 brothers of the Taizé Community took part, embodying the vocation for which the community was founded in 1940: to be a sign of unity within the Church and the wider human family. Prayer echoed through Paris’s great churches, while the Accor Arena—filled each afternoon—became a vast space of silence, song, and shared longing for peace. Beyond formal gatherings, the meeting unfolded in homes and neighborhoods. Families across Paris opened their doors, joined by parishes, schools …More
