The governance of Bishop Fernando Arêas Rifan, 75, of the Old Rite Apostolic Administration in Campos, Brazil, has been extended until spring 2027. He announced the extension in a pastoral letter published on January 11 on AdApostolica.org. Monsignor Rifan recalled his meetings with Leo XIV in the autumn. On 15 November 2025, he was received in private audience by Leo XIV, to whom he presented his resignation and the situation of the Apostolic Administration. Leo XIV asked whether Bishop Rifan also celebrates the Novus Ordo. “I told him that in our churches we celebrate the ancient rite, but that when invited I concelebrate with our diocesan bishop, Bishop Roberto Paz, using the current rite, and likewise when I or our priests, when invited, celebrate Mass in the churches of the dioceses, we celebrate the Mass in the current form.” Bishop Rifan on Leo XIV’s reaction: “He showed himself satisfied.” On 17 November, Monsignor Rifan was received at the Dicastery for Bishops. There, he …More
«Satan really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church.» "At last, those who will survive all of these events will once more proclaim God and His Glory and serve Him like before, when the world was not so corrupted. Go, My child and proclaim this! I shall always remain by your side to help you." THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA A great chastisement will fall on the entire human race; not today as yet, not tomorrow, but in the second half of the Twentieth Century. No longer does order reign anywhere and Satan will reign over the highest places directing the course of events. He (Satan) really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church. Also for the Church a time of Her greatest trials will come. Cardinals will oppose Cardinals; Bishops will oppose Bishops and Satan will march amid their ranks, and in Rome there will be changes. What is rotten will fall, and what will fall will never rise again. The Church will be darkened and the world deranged by terror. A great war …More
GOD HAS USED THE VOICE OF HIS and our MOTHER, The Blessed Virgin Mary TO SPEAK TO US, TO EXHORT US TO PICK UPOUR WEAPON, THE ROSARY, FOR HER TRIUMPH. JESUS CHRIST revealed HIS WILL that HIS MOTHER'S Immaculate Heart will be honored in the World alongside His Sacred Heart. We have been given the HOPE and the PROMISE that the COMMANDED CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA to The Immaculate Heart of MARY will be accomplished.
Former Irish president Mary McAleese argues in an op-ed for The Irish Times that the baptism of children violates human rights and should be outlawed, a stance critics liken to historic anti-Catholic measures under Elizabeth I. Since leaving office, McAleese has pushed for sweeping reforms of Catholic doctrine—especially on marriage, sexuality, abortion, and the male-only priesthood—while holding academic posts at institutions such as Boston College and University of Notre Dame, and earning a canon law doctorate from the Pontifical Gregorian University. The author contends that her rhetoric is often imprecise, particularly in blaming canon law itself for failures to address abuse, arguing instead that church leaders failed to use the authority the law already granted them.
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
While the rest of the world is plotting and planning on destroying countries around the world, While they are destroying them now. While they plot and plan to destroy Russia she is preparing for the showdown. When GOD is ready they will all learn pride and hatred and arrogance is not what wins wars. When that day comes, I am sure Russia will hit every underground city they have built and all their bunkers. I am sure of it because I am positive GOD is in complete control and that is His Will. Not that He will be in control later. But always in control.
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 which they cannot personally consent, and through which they become “a member …
The former president of Ireland claimed that infant baptism violates children’s human rights. But it's ok to kill the child and silence him or her forever? Our Lord has great patience. But His fury is building up more and more.
Vatican II is no longer being treated as one council received by the Church. It is being treated as the interpretive tribunal before which all other councils must now appear. If something from the past fits the conciliar vocabulary, it may remain. If it resists that vocabulary, it must be “re-read,” “re-framed,” or quietly set aside. This is why the language matters so much.
My Brothers and Sisters In Christ, A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move. What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice. There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process. And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it. From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …More
Leo XIV’s setting of the consistory is “not normative”, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com (January 11): “This is a method of the synods, and I think it’s helping the Pope not as Bishop of Rome but as a diocesan bishop.” Cardinal Müller sought to dispel what he described as a false dichotomy in the Church’s internal debates. “The Church of Benedict XVI doesn’t exist anymore.” Picture: vatican media, #newsXaqahjlxet
@Boanerges Boanerges You are absolutely correct! —We can complain til the cows come home but nothing will change for the better. It is a near certainty that things will only get worse. —Jesus Christ created only one Church (now known as the Roman Catholic Church). Moreover, He established only one set of “truths” and commanded the appointed leaders of His Church to teach those “truths,” exclusively, to “all nations.” Those “truths” are the teachings, practices and beliefs of the Catholic religion. —The Second Vatican Council created a counterfeit religion (which faithful Catholics call the “Conciliar” religion). All post-Vatican II popes, bishops and priests follow and promote some or all of the many false teachings contained in the Conciliar religion. —Each and every one of those men of the Conciliar religion who have been responsible for leading unwitting Catholics away from the authentic teachings of the Catholic religion (many to perdition) will one day answer to Jesus Christ …More
"When one of you says, I am for Paul, and another, I am for Apollos, are not these human thoughts? Why, what is Apollos, what is Paul?"1st Corinthians 3:4. Jesus Christ is the head of His Church. The pope should be his "vicar" - a servant of the servants of God who protests the Deposit of Faith. If a man fails in that, woe to him. It would have been better if he hadn't been born!
We end the Christmas Season with a post from Our Lady of Solitude Monastery titled, “Give me your sins…” It's a story about St. Jerome. A story and truth we can all relate to as fallen people of God. We hope you like it. St. Jerome, pray for us! Here's the story of St. Jerome: After many years spent in Jerusalem translating the Word of God, Jerome finished his grand project just days before Christmas. To celebrate his accomplishment, Jerome decided to spend Christmas Eve in nearby Bethlehem, in one of the many grottoes that dot the countryside. According to the ancient account, sometime around midnight Jesus appeared to him, saying 'Jerome, what will you give me for my birthday? Immediately and enthusiastically, Jerome declared, 'Lord, I give you my translation of your word.' But instead of congratulating him, Jesus simply replied, 'No, Jerome, that is not what I want.' Jerome was speechless. Then he began to complain and remonstrate with Jesus, asking why he had let him go on for …
Australian Cardinal George Pell holds a copy of his book, "Prison Journal," during an interview with Catholic News Service at his residence in Rome Dec. 18, 2020. (CNS photo/Robert Duncan) 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 …
"Exactly when he was investigating financial improprieties in the Vatican, he was forced to leave Rome and face trial on charges that are so weak as to be barely believable."
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.
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
The Catholic Faith teaches the TRUTH which is opposed to the lies and deceptions which this staff of ANTIPOPE prevost represents. The TRUTH is that JESUS CHRIST was CRUCIFIED, DIED on the Cross, and was buried; the third day He rose from the dead. JESUS CHRIST DID NOT RISE FROM THE DEAD upon the CROSS of His Crucifixion.
