Journalists Raymond Arroyo and Robert Royal, and canon lawyer and priest Gerald Murray of New York talked on January 16 about the consistory of January 7-8. A short sequence, video below. Robert Royal commenting on Cardinal Grech’s contribution on synod: I think you hear that and you say, what in God’s name can that possibly mean? This is the gobbledygook we’ve been listening to for years about synodality and all this confusion. I mean, one of the things I’ve heard from sources is that many of these cardinals have said, "Look, we’re just confused about this. We’re tired of going over the same things again and again." These pronouncements keep coming out. When I read Cardinal Grech, I said to myself: This guy knows they haven’t gotten anything substantial done. You can try to preserve the illusion that there’s somehow a dynamic age of the Spirit underway, but it’s about to die. Raymond Arroyo: Well, he says there are good fruits here. He says fruits are blooming all over the place. …Caman
Sat Jan 17, 2026 - 11:47 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — As Pope Leo XIV meets with his Apostolic Nuncio for Germany, Monsignor Nikola Eterovic, on Saturday, the very real possibility of schism with the Catholic Church in Germany looms. “It’s alleged the German Church wants to put the German laity on the same level as the bishops and also let them control the cash,” according to a report in the Italian language publication Il Giornale by Nico Spuntoni. Spuntoni explains: This is a project, already approved by the powerful Central Committee of German Catholics, that will create a permanent body in which laypeople will be on an equal footing with bishops. This Synodal Conference will have decision-making power and be able to introduce changes to doctrine by majority vote, forcing those who disagree to provide a public justification. In addition, the Conference will take control of the financial resources of the extremely wealthy German Church. The Holy See’s concern over what many interpret …

Florida Man’s Split-Second Decision Saves Two Toddlers Caught in Traffic | Shalom World News A routine drive turned into a life-saving moment when a Florida man jumped out of his car to rescue two toddlers who had wandered into the middle of a busy road in Brevard County, narrowly escaping tragedy. The incident unfolded when the two young children, who had slipped unnoticed out of a backyard, began walking into traffic as vehicles approached from both directions. Drivers slowed in confusion, but the danger remained immediate and severe. John Brittingham, a father of five and a grandfather, was driving nearby when he spotted the toddlers standing alone in the roadway. Without hesitation, he stopped his vehicle, jumped out, and ran toward the children, guiding them safely out of harm’s way just moments before a potential collision. “I was terrified,” Brittingham later said. “If anything would’ve happened to them, my whole life would have been ruined.” Brittingham downplayed his actions …Caman

A Patristic Homily on Christian Marriage Beloved brethren, God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. From the beginning He established order, and by order He preserves all things. When He created man and woman, He joined them before transgression, not in disorder, but in unity of life and purpose, in harmony of soul under God. There was no shame in the beginning, because there was no rebellion. The will was upright, and the body obedient. Thus it is written: “The two shall be one.” This oneness signifies unity and indissolubility, not indulgence. Therefore the Lord Himself later proclaimed: “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Divorce is strictly shunned, for it violates the order established by God from the beginning. After the transgression, however, man fell from obedience, and with that fall came disorder. Desire—which had no place before—now inclined the will. The flesh no longer obeyed the soul with ease. In this state of infirmity, marriage was …Caman
homilyat the Mass celebrated at Martyr's Shrine, in Midland, Ontario, that has much to tell about truth and reconciliation in Canada with the Indigenous Peoples. We cannot forget the sacrifices made by the missionaries to evangelize. We must no interpret the past from a woke view. We cannot have truth and reconciliation without truth. The pope's words speak for themselves. Saint Paul also tells us how firmly he believed in the love of Christ and in its power to overcome all obstacles: "Nothing can come between us and the love of Christ." These are words which proceed from the very depths of his being and out of his personal experience as an Apostle. For this great missionary faced many trials and difficulties in his zealous efforts to proclaim the Gospel. To the Corinthians, he writes: "I have been in danger from rivers and in danger from brigands, in danger from my own people and in danger from pagans; in danger in the towns, in danger in the open country, danger at sea and danger from …
1st book of Samuel 8,4-7.10-22a. All the elders of Israel came in a body to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, "Now that you are old, and your sons do not follow your example, appoint a king over us, as other nations have, to judge us." Samuel was displeased when they asked for a king to judge them. He prayed to the LORD, however, who said in answer: "Grant the people's every request. It is not you they reject, they are rejecting me as their king. Samuel delivered the message of the LORD in full to those who were asking him for a king. He told them: "The rights of the king who will rule you will be as follows: He will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and horses, and they will run before his chariot. He will also appoint from among them his commanders of groups of a thousand and of a hundred soldiers. He will set them to do his plowing and his harvesting, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will use your daughters as ointment-makers, as …Caman
Erstes Buch Samuel 8,4-7.10-22a. In jenen Tagen versammelten sich alle Ältesten Israels und gingen zu Samuel nach Rama. Sie sagten zu ihm: Du bist nun alt und deine Söhne gehen nicht auf deinen Wegen. Darum setze jetzt einen König bei uns ein, der uns regieren soll, wie es bei allen Völkern der Fall ist! Aber Samuel missfiel es, dass sie sagten: Gib uns einen König, der uns regieren soll! Samuel betete deshalb zum HERRN und der HERR sagte zu Samuel: Hör auf die Stimme des Volkes in allem, was sie zu dir sagen! Denn nicht dich haben sie verworfen, sondern mich haben sie verworfen: Ich soll nicht mehr ihr König sein. Samuel teilte dem Volk, das einen König von ihm verlangte, alle Worte des HERRN mit. Er sagte: Das werden die Rechte des Königs sein, der über euch herrschen wird: Er wird eure Söhne holen und sie für sich bei seinen Wagen und seinen Pferden verwenden und sie werden vor seinem Wagen herlaufen. Er wird sie zu Obersten über Tausend und zu Führern über Fünfzig machen. Sie …Caman
PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY JUST SAID IT OUT LOUD “I believe the progress that we have made and the partnership (with China) sets us up well for the New… World… Order.” Not rushed. Not off the cuff. He pauses between every word - New… World… Order - like he wants it to land. This wasn’t code. This wasn’t a slip. This was said out loud, on camera, deliberately.
The Holy Door at Saint Peter's Basilica was sealed on January 16. Vatican craftsmen closed the door from the inside using 3,200 bricks. The door will remain closed until the next Jubilee.
La porta santa della Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano è stata murata. «È bello diventare pellegrini di speranza. Ed è bello continuare ad esserlo, insieme! La fedeltà di Dio ci stupirà ancora. Se non ridurremo a monumenti le nostre chiese, se saranno case le nostre comunità, se resisteremo uniti alle lusinghe dei potenti, allora saremo la generazione dell’aurora. Maria, Stella del mattino, camminerà sempre davanti a noi! Nel suo Figlio contempleremo e serviremo una magnifica umanità, trasformata non da deliri di onnipotenza, ma dal Dio che per amore si è fatto carne» Leone XIV da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum
“Leo XIV is responsible for it. In fact, he set the four-topic agenda for the meeting… I just hope they drop this middle school social science approach.” — Fr. Gerald Murray
