Raucous Rock Concert by a Priest: The priest David Michael Moses of the Archdiocese of Galveston–Houston concluded his talk at the neoconservative conference SEEK 2026 on January 1 by performing his rock song “Plot Twist.” The performance drew on pop-rock conventions. During the theatrics, Fr. Moses invited attendees to rush the stage, took a selfie with the cheering crowd. He ended by performing “the worm,” a breakdancing move rooted in secular entertainment culture. SEEK 2026 drew more than 26,000 participants.
At the end of his talk at SEEK 2026, Father David Michael Moses encouraged attendees to run up to and gather in front of the stage as he belted out a rock song about living a Christian life. He took a selfie from the stage with the young people cheering behind him and ended his performance by doing “the worm” dance on the stage as the crowd went wild.
"There is a form of liturgical reductionism that the most zealous defenders of contemporary Catholicism often fall into. “It is still valid,” they assert, while ignoring that with each detail of the Church’s worship carried out sloppily or without care, a disease spreads among the faithful. The liturgy is not a sacrament machine, and the Mass is not a meal. For generations of medieval Catholics, who often received the Eucharist only once a year yet commonly and voluntarily attended Mass daily, this was clear. Every rubric of this most sacred worship mattered, consecration and communication alike. God deserves our very best. More than those in our romantic lives. More than those in our family lives. Certainly more than those in our professional lives. These loves are not in competition, nor are they opposed to love of God, and they deserve sincere devotion. But one love stands above all others, surpassing and enlivening them.... The rail slows us down. It stills the body."

05.01.2025 HOW CAN CARDINALS MCELROY AND RADCLIFFE PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSISTORY ? : VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL IS TRADITIONAL AND OPPOSED TO LGBT IDEOLOGY How can cardinals McElroy and Radcliffe participate in the Consistory when Vatican Council II rational, is ecclesiocentric and supports traditional faith and morals, opposed to LGBT ideology? They must recant or resign. Since they are not doing either there must be an institutional process to check them. With the discovery that ‘the red is not an exception for the blue’, Vatican Council II is no more ‘a revolution’ or a ‘new revelation’ in the Catholic Church. The Church has moved forward since 1965. The interpretation of Vatican Council II by Pope Paul VI to Pope Leo XIV and that of Rahner, Ratzinger, Congar, Lubac, Lehmann, Kung, Guardini and Lefebvre was schismatic. We now have a non schismatic, option, which is rational, traditional and ecclesiocentric. They used the False Premise which created schism.We avoid the False …More
1 John 4:7-10 "Love is of God." Let us meditate on this for just one week. Love, joy, and peace comes from God; they are God. Mark 6:34-44 Let us note that the first nourishment Jesus gives, is teaching. Now, everything we say and everything others say to us is teaching. Let us carefully examine the words we speak and hear. Let us adjust them positively and realistically. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered a series of talks and homilies on liturgy and sacred music in the U.S. from November 21 to 23, as reported by NCRegister.com on January 3. His main points: - For decades, the Church’s liturgy has "too often been instrumentalized" and has become increasingly politicized. - Church hierarchy has "persecuted and excluded" those who have rightly called attention to liturgical abuses. - "The liturgy is not something that you or I can make up or change, even if we think we are experts—or even if we are bishops. We must be humble before the sacred liturgy, as it has been handed down to us through the Church’s tradition." - It is "even scandalous at times" to sing or play music in churches that is neither liturgical nor sacred. - Quoting Benedict XVI: "As far as the liturgy is concerned, we cannot say that one song is as good as another." - Different kinds of music belong in different places. Liturgical music is set apart exclusively for the worship of God. - …More

JAN 2026 - TRUMP'S Donroe Doctrine as he calls it, receives an opposition and firm disapproval from Canada for the illicit invasion of Venezuela under a pretext of narco terrorism to take over the countries' resources of oil and minerals.. On the other hand Trump pridefully says that he will take control (govern) over the entire hemisphere. Canada reminds the U.S. that they are ready for any action the U.S. may try to force against them as they will never bow down to a dictator and lose their country to become the 51 state in the U.S. Furthermore, calls D.T. a GANGSTER for raging commercial warfare over his allies and turning his back on them to side with Russia, China and Iran, calling D.T. a gangster, and sending Trump a strong message.
Leo XIV Urges Respect for Venezuela’s Sovereignty: At the Angelus prayer today, Pope Leo XIV spoke about the capture of President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces. Leo XIV is following events with "with great concern". He urged that the good of the Venezuelan people prevail above all else, calling for an end to violence and a path of justice and peace that safeguards national sovereignty, the rule of law, and the human and civil rights of all.
Pope Leo XIV commented on the situation in the United States and Venezuela, saying that the Venezuelan people must be prioritized: "It is with deep concern that I am following the developments in Venezuela. The well-being of the Venezuelan people must prevail over all other considerations. This must lead to overcoming violence and pursuing paths of justice and peace. This will guarantee the country's sovereignty, ensure the rule of law enshrined in its constitution, respect the human and civil rights of each and every person, and encourage cooperation, stability, and harmony. Special attention must be given to the poorest who are suffering because of the difficult economic situation. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray as well, entrusting our prayers to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto and Saints José Gregorio Hernández and Carmen Rendiles."
And the thing is, they immediately went out and started to protest Trump or say "respect soverignty", when I don’t know 1 single Venezuelan outside their homeland who isn’t happy about what Maduro got, they don’t care about Trump getting their oil, don’t care about his drama, don’t care about zionism darkness, ALL they want is their country back and this is a step in the right direction... Look how all Venezuelans cheer and celebrate Maduro's epic takedown, they welcome US intervention, they are tired of Russia, Cuba, Iran and China ripping their homeland down.
Maduro is bad cause the US said so and we have the military to back it up., I wonder what is next. Maybe Trump can go after the doctors who butcher unborn children
