The French actress and sex symbol of the 1960s, Brigitte Bardot, aged 91, was laid to rest on 7 January after a funeral Eucharist in Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera. Celebrated by the parish priest, the Novus Ordo service included mostly profane music, such as the score of Contempt, the 1963 Jean-Luc Godard film in which Bardot starred. On 17 January, Jeanne Smits published an obituary on LifeSiteNews.com, correcting journalists who had one-sidedly referred to a 2024 interview in which Bardot described herself as a 'traditionalist', recalling the Mass of her childhood. Denying Eternal Life Bardot was not a practising Catholic. Although she called herself a believer, she wrote in her 2018 autobiography Larmes de combat (Tears of Battle): "It's the afterlife that's awful; what the body becomes is dirty. I don’t know if life after death exists. I don't know, and I don't necessarily hope that it does. What kind of mess could await us on the other side? We might as well sleep. Forever..." …Zambiri

The popular Italian traditional website Messa in Latino, wrote Jan. 7 that it had contacted some anonymous but important cardinals who all said they were “discouraged and disappointed” about the relegation of the liturgy as a discussion topic. In comments to the Register Jan. 8, the website’s editor Luigi Casalini asked: “To whom did the Pope delegate this choice, and according to what criteria were these cardinals of the nine local churches selected in order to remove — in effect — two topics?” He also wondered “why cardinals sensitive to the issue” appear to have “made no attempt to lobby” for the liturgy to be included as a core topic of discussion, “even before the consistory.” The consistory, he added, “appears to be in perfect continuity with the Synods and the thought of Francis” — a reference to how recent synods were silent on the traditional liturgy.
President Trump has admitted that he wishes he hadn’t dismissed a radical proposal to seize voting machines by executive order in 2020. In a recent wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, Trump said that he regrets not seizing state voting machines to seek evidence of vote-rigging after the election. He famously refused to concede the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden, insisting the vote had been “rigged” by a variety of methods, with a bitter debate ensuing over the integrity of the election.

“'Out of one hundred thousand sinners who continue in sin until death, scarcely one will be saved.' St. Jerome, Doctor and Father of the Church 'It is certainly a great happiness for some sinners who after a bad life are converted at their death, and are saved; but these cases are very rare: ordinarily he that leads a bad life dies a bad death.' St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Doctor of the Church 'So that you will better appreciate the meaning of Our Lord's words, and perceive more clearly how few the Elect are, note that Christ did not say that those who walked in the path to Heaven are few in number, but that there were few who found that narrow way. It is as though the Saviour intended to say: The path leading to Heaven is so narrow and so rough, so overgrown, so dark and difficult to discern, that there are many who never find it their whole life long. And those who do find it are constantly exposed to the danger of deviating from it, of mistaking their way, and unwittingly wandering …Zambiri

Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, 76, of Managua, Nicaragua, did not attend the consistory held in Rome on 7–8 January. He stated that he was not invited, claiming that he had checked his emails, WhatsApp messages and communications from the College of Cardinals. However, on 8 January, senior Church sources told LaPrensaNi.com that Cardinal Brenes had received an invitation to participate in the consistory but had refused to go for undisclosed reasons. The sources also indicated that there may be ongoing or attempted negotiations with the Nicaraguan government. The Church has faced sustained confrontation with the Ortega regime, resulting in persecution, restrictions on religious activity and the forced exile of several bishops.

So..., not a 'computer guy'.... One does have to wonder, however, if he was as oblivious as this about checking his "social media" (in itself not necessarily a bad thing; some prelates - Prevost anyone? - are on it way too much!) before opening his mouth, is this really the kind of 'leadership' the Church requires at the moment ?!
Sedevacantism Isn’t Traditional. It’s a Heresy in Latin Clothing. Sedevacantism sells itself as heroic fidelity: we are the last Catholics standing while Rome has fallen. It sounds dramatic. It sounds pure. It sounds—if you squint—like Athanasius contra mundum. It’s none of those things. Strip away the rhetoric, and sedevacantism collapses into something the Church has seen before, condemned before, and buried before: private judgment dressed up as tradition. The Church Fathers would have recognized it instantly. Start with the basic Catholic claim: Christ founded a visible Church, with a visible hierarchy, governed by a visible head. That’s not Vatican I spin. That’s Irenaeus, Cyprian, Augustine—men who fought real heresies, not imagined apocalypses. St. Irenaeus didn’t say, “Check Rome’s doctrine against your personal theological spreadsheet.” He said you know the true Church by public succession from the Apostles, above all at Rome. Augustine didn’t say, “When things look bad …Zambiri
That Rome has fallen into the deluge of scandals against the Faith and is worth only a God given purge - it is an objective fact. Responses to this fact are different - assuming "sede vacante" in many various versions is one kind of the reaction. It might be an error regarding the fact (whether the see is vacant or not - the Church will judge it in the future if God permits it) but most sedevacantists are not heretical.
I don’t understand how a Catholic can hold ZERO doubt about the authenticity of the hierarchy. I don’t remember the last time I heard something Catholic from Rome. I’m not convinced by sedevacantism per se I.e. I don’t think it can be held onto as something dogmatic. But I certainly think Catholics can hold it as an opinion without being heretics. Any Sede would tell you the church needs the papacy and that they love and hold the office in the highest esteem. I don’t buy all of the neo con arguments that an extended vacancy would necessarily mean the failure of the Church against the gates of hell. It’s Christs church, he told us there would be false shepherds whom the sheep would ignore. He will pull us through. I hold no malice toward those who disagree with sedevacantists. I can see where they are coming from. I think we live in a time where the devil has succeeded in pitting authority and dogma against each other to cause fierce infighting among the most faithful Catholics.
MartyredFranciscans of Morocco - January 16 Acursies Adjute Berardes Otto Peter Berard, Otho, Peter, Accursius and Adjutus: the five "true Friars Minor", as St. Francis of Assisi referred to them. They were the first missionaries sent by Francis to the lands of the Saracens. Leaving Assisi, in 1219 they crossed Coimbra, where they had the opportunity to meet the then Fernando de Bulhões, the future Saint Antônio. The cloister of the Monastery of Santa Cruz witnessed this meeting, whose feast is celebrated on January 16. Br DOMINGOS DO CASAL MARTINS, ofm Vicar Provincial Friars Minor Portugal "The example of this martyrdom motivated the Franciscan vocation of St. Anthony, who lived here in this convent and certainly knew these 5 friars who passed through here on their way to Morocco.

“The Dangers of Christian “Fellowship” Christian fellowship is meant to be a powerful force for good—a means of building each other up, sharing in Christ’s love, and glorifying God together. However, when it deviates from its true purpose, fellowship can become something dangerous. This lesson serves as a wake-up call to those who may think that simply gathering together or calling it “fellowship” is enough, when in fact, it has become a breeding ground for negativity, division, and dishonor to God. It’s crucial to remember that true fellowship is about mutual encouragement, spiritual growth, and lifting each other up in the faith. Unfortunately, too many Christians have turned fellowship into an opportunity to indulge in unhealthy behavior—spreading gossip, sowing seeds of jealousy, and creating an environment that does not promote the love and unity Christ desires. Fellowship that fails to reflect Christ’s love does not glorify God; instead, it causes division and hinders the work …Zambiri

1 Samuel 9:1-4, 10c, 17-19; 10:1 Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord anoints you ruler over his people Israel.” A reminder that it is better to lead a people with God’s love, joy, and peace. Mark 2:13-17 “Jesus went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them.” The phrase “the whole crowd came to him” means more than just those people at that time. All crowds and leaders would benefit from allowing the Lord to reign over the people and in the hearts of the leaders. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
