Cardinal Arthur Roche distributed at Leo XIV’s consistory last week a text on liturgy. Journalist Nico Spuntoni published the two-page report (facsimile below). It is a strong defence of Traditionis Custodes. The report was one of four texts distributed to the cardinals. The others were written by Cardinals Tucho (Faith), Grech (Synod) and Baggio (Human development). The strongest ideological rejection of the Mass in the Roman rite is in four quotations taken from Francis in the report's points 9, 10 and 11: - “For this reason we cannot go back to that ritual form which the Council Fathers, cum Petro et sub Petro, felt the need to reform.” - “The use of liturgical books that the Council sought to reform was… a concession that in no way envisaged their promotion.” - “The liturgical books promulgated by the holy Popes Paul VI and John Paul II… are the sole expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.” - “I do not see how it is possible to say that one recognizes the validity of …More
Tue Jan 6, 2026 - 4:14 pm ESTWed Jan 7, 2026 - 7:09 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — Catholic speaker Jason Evert spoke with LifeSiteNews Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen about the unexpected, miraculous healing of his 21-year-old son after he had been diagnosed with cancer, in an exclusive interview. Evert, a prominent Catholic chastity speaker, described receiving the heartbreaking news that John Paul, his oldest son, had been diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma on Christmas Eve and would need to undergo chemotherapy and other treatment. But, after thousands of faithful offered prayers for him as he began treatment, including a group of Franciscan friars who prayed for the cancer to be “melted” in the hospital, a biopsy that stunned the doctors showed no cancer present, but instead a highly treatable fungal infection. Remarkably, during surgery after the doctors had revised their diagnosis, they noticed that the growth masses that had previously been found near his chest and collarbone …
Accusations of deception against Patriarch Bartholomew within the clergy largely stem from actions related to the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and alleged inconsistencies in his exercise of authority. Specific examples cited by critics (primarily from the Russian Orthodox Church and other dissenting voices) include: Deception regarding the OCU's autocephaly: Critics claim Patriarch Bartholomew assured other Orthodox leaders, including Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, that granting autocephaly to the Ukrainian Church was impossible, only to proceed with it later in an "uncanonical fashion". The statute of the OCU is also alleged to have been adopted through deception. Acceptance of schismatics: He is accused of receiving defrocked and anathematized schismatics (clergy from the former UOC-KP and UAOC) back into communion without genuine repentance or consensus from other churches, which critics argue violated canonical order. Inconsistency on Church unity: Critics point …More
Romanian Orthodox complaints against Patriarch Bartholomew center on his strong ecumenism, particularly fostering dialogue with the Vatican, which critics see as heresy and a threat to Orthodox purity; his controversial granting of autocephaly (self-governance) to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), seen as undermining canonical order; and his perceived assertion of undue authority, straining relations with other autocephalous churches like the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). While the Romanian Church officially engages with Bartholomew, some within Romania express concern over his direction, viewing his actions as divisive rather than unifying Modernization & Heresy: Some traditionalists perceive Bartholomew's actions as a drift towards modernization and a dilution of Orthodoxy, contrasting with their view of maintaining strict traditional adherence, according to OrthoChristian.Com
A Spanish court has ordered the eviction of the Poor Clares in the Monastery of Santa Clara in Belorado. February 10 is the date for a forced removal if the nuns do not leave voluntarily. The ruling was issued by the Court of First Instance in Briviesca, which approved the provisional enforcement of an earlier judgment. The court's decision cannot be appealed. Any appeal would not suspend the enforcement of the order. The property is currently under the legal administration of Archbishop Mario Iceta of Burgos. In recent years, the Clarisse nuns of Belorado had joined different sedevacantist sects and more and more sisters left. #newsOepqnnneej
Trump schlägt Subventionierung von Ölfirmen vor, um den Energiesektor Venezuelas wieder aufzubauen • Präsident Trump hat vorgeschlagen, dass US-Ölunternehmen wie ExxonMobil und Chevron den venezolanischen Energiesektor mit potenziellen, vom Steuerzahler finanzierten Erstattungen wieder aufbauen könnten. • Dieser Plan zielt darauf ab, die Ölproduktion Venezuelas, die deutlich zurückgegangen ist, wiederzubeleben, um die globalen Ölpreise zu unterdrücken und den US-Verbrauchern zu helfen. • Experten schätzen, dass die Wiederaufbaubemühungen ein Jahrzehnt dauern und über 100 Milliarden Dollar kosten könnten, während große Energieunternehmen aufgrund der Geschichte der Verstaatlichungen Venezuelas vorsichtig bleiben. • Trump schlug vor, dass Erstattungen aus US-Fonds oder zukünftigen Öleinnahmen kommen könnten, obwohl keine formellen Gespräche mit Ölgesellschaften stattgefunden haben. • Die Initiative könnte auch dazu dienen, den Entdollarisierungsbemühungen der BRICS-Staaten …More
Former Irish president Mary McAleese has claimed that the baptism of children is a human rights violation that should be outlawed. Since leaving office, she has campaigned for radical changes within Catholicism, supported by academic posts and Jesuit accolades. These include a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical Gregorian University (2018). However, her views have been deemed too heterodox for a Vatican conference under the Holy See (2018). She openly disagrees with Church teachings on marriage, homosexuality and abortion, and has particular criticism for the male-only priesthood, dismissing Catholic doctrine as "unscientific sexist nonsense".
Mon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:18 pm ESTMon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:30 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — The former president of Ireland claimed that infant baptism violates children’s human rights. The Irish Times published an excerpt from a recent talk by Mary McAleese at University College Cork (UCC), in which the heterodox Catholic made her case against infant baptism. “Throughout the world, there continues a long-standing, systemic and overlooked severe restriction on children’s rights with regard to religion,” the former president of Ireland wrote. “It restricts children’s rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948 and United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989, to which both Ireland and the Holy See – which governs the Catholic Church and is effectively the author of canon law – are State Parties.” McAleese, who was president of Ireland from 1997 to 2011, argued that children are restricted in their religious freedom by infant baptism, to …
Our Lady warned us that the final battle will be against the family. These globalists use "children's rights" as an excuse to assert that children are the property of the State, not the offspring of parents. That's why there is so much human trafficking and Sexual abuse sanctioned by government!
The Canadian group Century Initiative is pushing the idea that it would be good for the nation to have a population of 100 million by the year 2100. The believe that by greatly increasing immigration numbers over the decades Canada's economy, workforce and global influence will improve. The group claims there are some people in governemnt and business leaders who support the idea. However, let's make it clear: it's not a government policy. During PM Justin Trudeau's ten years in power, from 2015 to 2025, Canada's population increased by close to 5 million. Currently Canada's population is about 41.5 million, so the Century Initiative wants to nearly triple the number. This will require much higher immigration levels. Here's what Century Iniative won't tell Canadians. The nation's fertility rate is 1.24 children per woman. This is an "ultra-low fertility" similar to Japan and South Korea. What this means is that Canada's population, minus immigration, is steadily declining. The country …
Reports from the extraordinary consistory on January 7-8 in Rome point to significant internal disagreements. TheCatholicHerald.com cites several cardinals, most speaking anonymously. Main quotes. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Jerusalem: “Reform is not a Church language. In the Church there are no reforms. We must reflect on our mission and vocation according to the times, but faithful to the roots and to the mission of the Church.” Cardinal Frank Leo, Toronto: “I don’t think the College of Cardinals is divided at all.” Anders Arborelius, Stockholm, on liturgy: “I hope we can find a compromise.” Another Cardinal: “Some of Pope Francis’ friends spoke about a new Church and absolute change.” Conservative cardinal, anonymous: “This whole synodal style doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t understand the intelligent men who write on and on about it.” Progressive cardinal, anonymous: “Sitting around tables rather than facing leaders at the front is a brilliant sign of collegiality.” …More

Breaking News Gut Cure: How to restore your microbiome so your body can do what it was designed to do Your gut microbiome acts as a command centre for digestion, immunity, metabolism and brain health; when microbial diversity drops, symptoms often go beyond digestion. Short-chain fatty acids (“SCFAs”), especially butyrate, are essential compounds made by healthy gut bacteria that help repair your gut lining, calm inflammation, stabilise blood sugar and support mental clarity. Modern diets heavy in seed oils (including linoleic acid), emulsifiers and ultra-processed foods disrupt beneficial bacteria and reduce butyrate production, leaving your gut undernourished even if you eat “healthy” foods. Simple changes, such as replacing seed oils with stable fats like butter, ghee or coconut oil, can lower inflammation, rebalance your microbiome and help your body begin healing from the inside out. Let’s not lose touch…Your Government and Big Tech are actively trying to censor the information …
