Cardinals Received a Document Opposing the Roman Rite at the Consistory - Report

Although the subject of the Mass in the Roman rite was not raised openly during the consistory on January 7-8, it was nevertheless referenced in writing.
“While the liturgy was put aside,” an anonymous cardinal told TheCatholicHerald.com, “we were given a paper at the end written by Cardinal Arthur Roche, which was pretty negative concerning the Tridentine Latin Mass.”
Cardinal Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Liturgy, has been one of the key figures in implementing Pope Francis's 2021 apostolic letter Traditionis custodes, which restricts the celebration of the Mass.

Deo gratias! Understanding that there's no way the Mass of the ages could ever be changed is how I finally came to realize these clerical imposters are NOT legitimate. It gets more clear by the day!

The Council Fathers on Vatican II

There is plenty of evidence to show that Bishops and Cardinals who attended Vatican Council II were concerned from the start about its timing, its content and the serious omissions found in its documents.
While there is no doubt that it was a pivotal moment in the history of the Church, Vatican II represents for some a devastating rupture with Catholicism as it was always taught, while it remains for others the surprising revelation of a Catholicism which had hitherto not been discovered.
As a liberal, Pope Leo XIV falls into the latter camp and has
announced that he will begin a new catechesis series on Vatican II. He believes we must “continue to seek ways and means to implement its insights” and that “it will be important to get to know it again closely.”
In more conservative circles, many have woken up to the fact that implementation was never the problem. Like Communism, which its loyal adherents say has “not yet been implemented properly”, Vatican II contains integral errors …

The subservience of governments to the interests of the globalist elite is even more evident in the planning of ethnic replacement, pursued to erase the religious, cultural, linguistic, and economic identity of states and to better control the masses. From Starmer to Macron, from Rutte to Sanchez, from von der Leyen to Meloni, total surveillance is already being implemented and will become irreversible with the introduction of digital currency and the obligation of a unique ID for access to essential services.

Strong words from Archbishop Vigano: “The European Union is a criminal, subversive organization,,

Archbishop Vigano, in harsh words, stands in defense of farmers and, therefore, all of us:
“A subversive elite has taken control of the governments of almost all Western countries. Its emissaries in governments consider their own citizens as enemies to be eradicated through pandemics, wars, famines, and crime. For decades, globalists have proudly claimed authorship of depopulation projects, in the complicit silence of the mainstream press and of all civil and religious institutions. And if the crimes of the psychopandemic farce and the frauds of the climate emergency are now undeniable, it is increasingly evident that the sector to be eliminated is precisely that of agri-food, today too fragmented and therefore difficult to control at a global level.
Mercosur is a free trade agreement with Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay, following which Europe will be flooded with foods produced from crops or livestock not subject to our strict health regulations. Its approval …

Leo XIV Will Not Bury Francis – Tucho on Continuity between Popes

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 …More

Things are going to get exponentially worse under this Pontificate…..catastrophically worse.

It's was glaringly obvious that Leo was put on the throne of Peter by the Cardinals precisely because he was to continue the "reforms" of Francis! Anyone who asserts the contrary is either resorting to wishful thinking or gas-lighting naive, faithful Catholics.

Thousands sue Pfizer over claims company's birth control gave them brain tumors… as pharma giant adds risk to label

missing teeth after taking birth control shot
Thousands of women are now suing pharmaceutical giant Pfizer over claims its popular birth control injection left them with 'life-changing' brain tumors.
Lawyers told the Daily Mail exclusively that Pfizer will have to stand trial on December 7, 2026, as more than 2,100 women across the US claim in publicly filed lawsuits that they were not warned that the birth control shot Depo-Provera had been linked to debilitating and potentially incurable, benign brain tumors.
Taken by 2million women every year, Depo-Provera is a decades-old contraceptive method that is injected into the arm or buttocks once every three months, delivering the synthetic hormone progestin to prevent pregnancy.
Recent studies done in the past two years, however, have found that the shot comes with than a 500 percent increased risk of developing brain tumors long after users stop taking the medication.
Last month, Pfizer added a warning label to Depo-Provera about the …

Is baptism necessary for salvation ?

mastercatechism.com
Yes, baptism is necessary for salvation. The Church teaches that without baptism, one cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven, as stated by Christ: "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5).
However, there are exceptions recognized by the Church. Those who die without baptism but have not committed sin through no fault of their own will not go to hell, but they will not see God or heaven. Instead, they will be in a state of natural peace, deprived of the beatific vision (V16 Kinkead Explanation of the Baltimore Catechism 1891 226:1).
Additionally, the Church acknowledges two other forms of baptism that can substitute for the sacrament of water baptism under certain circumstances: the baptism of blood (martyrdom) and the baptism of desire (a sincere desire for baptism combined with perfect contrition for sins) (V17 Cafferata The Catechism Simply Explained 1932 244:2; V8 Frassinetti A Dogmatic Catechism …More

Now - just think if those Vatican Bozo's did put it in writing.
The results would give the Wicked women and doctors a Disneyland E-ticket

In ancient Hebrew, it was thought that the sins of the parents would be passed onto their third and forth generations.
With that as a thought, you can tell that wicked woman, If you abort that child, both you and he will go to Hell.

Bishop Varden Burdened by Therapeutic Culture

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.”

The Awful Truth about ‘NPR Voice’: Why does the famed leftist radio bastion have all its broadcasters speak in that insufferable whisper? Here is the somewhat disturbing answer.

americanthinker.com

The Awful Truth about ‘NPR Voice’

It is a common occurrence for a regular person to be flipping through radio channels, eventually to come across the style of radio presentation known as “NPR voice” — a soft-spoken, breathy, quietly pompous mode of vocal performance suggestive of an intimate conversation among a small circle of elites. The question immediately arises: Who could possibly find this manner of presentation appealing, and why?
The answer lies in understanding NPR as the distilled essence of sociological, ideological, and dispositional liberalism. NPR voice is part of the complex of behaviors exhibited by liberalism at its point of
cultural and intellectual heat-death. Understanding its appeal thus requires an examination of this cultural disposition.
Liberalism is one strain of a complex of Enlightenment ideologies that arose out of the sociological tumult of early modernity, as the prevailing aristocratic and clerical authorities of the Late Medieval Period faced the twin onslaughts of the scientific and …

The late great George Pell and his enemies, part 2

Editor’s note: You can read Part 1 of this column
here.
In 2014, the newly elected Pope Francis decided to improve the state of the Vatican’s finances. He appointed the Australian cardinal George Pell (1941-2023) to be the first prefect of his new Secretariat for the Economy. Pell was seen as the sort of no-nonsense, thorough, and intelligent cardinal who could corral other cardinals into cleaning up their mess.
Pell ordered audits, established policy guidelines, and began to investigate the financial affairs of different Vatican offices. One would think that simply trying to introduce transparency into the Vatican finances would be non-controversial. One would be wrong.
Just as Pell began to uncover problems, a series of child sexual abuse charges from Australia were leveled at Pell in 2017. While …

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.

"1004. 9. 1. Some of the properties of the Universal Transcendental Function (UTF) and Universal Transcendental Constants (UTC)
26 December 2016 AD, Feast of St Stephen
I derived general formulas for multiplication, division, powers, and logarithms for the Universal Transcendental Constants (UTC).
Addition and subtraction are more challenging to derive; it was done only partially.
Universal Transcendental Constants have their unique way of calculations, i.e., they use what I call, Index Mathematics.
It means that indexes (subscripts) of the given constants are used to calculate new values of multiplication, division, powers, and logarithms, possibly integrals and derivatives.
I will start with simple examples so it is easier to understand and then derive the general formulas.

Thank you so much. It is difficult and 'boring' topic. I really appreciate your share.

"Wherefore, know, that at the moment of death, they, having passed their life under the lordship of the Devil (not that they were forced to do so, for as I told you they cannot be forced, but they voluntarily put themselves into his hands), and, arriving at the extremity of their death under this perverse lordship, they await no other judgment than that of their own conscience, and desperately, despairingly, come to eternal damnation. Wherefore Hell, through their hate, surges up to them in the extremity of death, and before they get there, they take hold of it, by means of their lord the Devil."

Massachusetts father wins injunction against school that pushed LGBT books on 5-year-old son - LifeSite

Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 5:27 pm ESTFri Jan 9, 2026 - 8:36 pm EST
LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (
LifeSiteNews) — A Massachusetts father has won a preliminary injunction against a local school district that had insisted on exposing his five-year-old son to pro-LGBTQ books.
The case pitted a devout Christian father – cited as Alan L., father of J.L. in court documents – against the Lexington Public School District (LPSD) and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School (JEES).
The father objected to the content of certain books concerning sexual themes and contended that his child has been compelled “to participate in classroom instruction that promote[s] sexualized and ideological messages directly contrary to his family’s faith.”
He also contended that as a parent, he had the right to be notified before his son is exposed to objectionable sexual material and to be able to opt his child out of lessons and other classroom activities involving those materials.
Before bringing a civil suit before the court, …

'State of disaster' declared as Australia battles bushfires during extreme heatwave

Part of Australia's Victoria state has been declared a disaster zone after dozens of fires tore through 300,000 ​hectares, destroying homes, during an extreme heatwave.
The state's premier, Jacinta Allan, said that around 30,000 homes and businesses are also currently without power.
In an update on X, she said there were currently 10 major fire fronts and further 20 fires being closely monitored. "Conditions remain dangerous and unpredictable," Ms Allan added.
Among those, there were 16 emergency warnings - the highest category - for major fires at Walwa, Longwood, Wonnangatta and Ravenswood.
In the town of Malmsbury, 55 miles (88km) northwest of Melbourne, local fire crews posted footage of teams tackling a blaze.

We returned to our home as it was all clear and it was untouched by bushfire but we received another alert saying wind changed direction and to leave immediately as it was heading literally towards our area and I surrendered in Faith the home to God and put Blessed Holy Water on the house and we had to leave again and found out later the wind changed direction going away from our place back towards the main fire front towns.

Happy Birthday St. Philomena today and tomorrow we celebrate the Patronage of Saint Philomena.
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen once said: “When a child is given to his parents, a crown is made for that child in Heaven, and woe to the parents who raise a child without consciousness of that eternal crown!”

HOW SAINTS WORK

We realize,” said Philomena, ” that we are before God as so many vases of honor; some larger, some smaller. The vases of our soul expand according to our desire to love God during our life on earth. As soon as we are brought into the presence of God, each vase is filled to the brim with knowledge and love of Him.
This plenitude is what is called essential glory and this, through all eternity, cannot be enlarged or diminished. God Himself can put in the hearts of the faithful to pray to Him through His Saints; and then grace descends from Him like crystal-clear water, falling on our vases. Being already full, they [the saints] cannot contain it, wherefore the water splashes from them, falling upon earth enriching you who are yet pilgrims. This is the glory which is called accidental glory, which can increase or diminish. But in either case, we lose nothing. Always, we give glory to God.’
