It is Canada's largest church[1] and the twenty-seventh largest church building in the world. The basilica enshrines a statue of Saint Joseph, which was authorised a Canonical coronation by Pope Pius XII on 31 July 1955, now located within its crypt department. The shrine is also famous due to its association with Brother Andre Bessette who was believed to possess healing powers through his Josephian devotion with its notable oil oinment given freely to its believers.

In 1917 a larger church was completed that had a seating capacity of …More

GOD Bless Russia. Once again not falling for the evil of the west. Food products made out of insects will never be offered to the Russian people, the deputy head of the parliament’s agriculture committee, Yulia Ogloblina, has said. This can only happen in the EU, where the farming industry is in decline, she added.
U.S. OIL COMPANIES do not want to invest their money to repair the refineries or oil infrastructures of Venezuels as it would cost billions of dollars; however, D.T. has said that the U.X. taxpayer will pay for the repairs, and it will take years to repair. Trump continues to be proud of stealing another's country's oil and sell it to the world as it also wants to claim sovereignty over the oceans, as seen in other news when it tried to steal a Russian oil tanker until Russia sent a nuclear submarine with hypersonic nuclear torpedoes a technology that's still under development by the U.S. but not available yet. Trump keeps adding tensions among all countries with the stealing of Venezuela's oil sending a message to the world that if any oil business wants to be done it has to be done through the U.S., not only because of the oil but because of the taking over international waters that do not belong to any country. Let's call things for what they are and remembered that the U.S. was a …More

O Jesus, salvation of those who believe in Thee! Comfort of those who fly to Thee! O Jesus, Son of the Virgin Mary! Give me grace, wisdom, charity, purity, and humility, that I may love Thee perfectly, praise Thee, enjoy Thee, serve Thee, and be …More
U.S. behaving like pirates in the Atlantic, try to seize a Russian oil tanker by boarding it with helicopters regardless of the Russian's letting them know they were Russian. To this Russia had to send a nuclear submarine with hypersonic nuclear missiles technology that the U.S. does not have yet, to escort the oil Tanker. TENSIONS ARISE IN THE ATLANTIC BETWEEN THE U.S. AND RUSSIA BUT THIS TIME IS THE U.S. RAISING THOSE TENSIONS AS TRUMP IS PRETTY MUCH CLAIMING ALL THE OCEANS AS HIS, IT IS NOT JUST THE GULF OF AMERICA (GULF OF MEXICO) NOW IS THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC OCEANS THAT THE U.S. IS TAKING OVER. THIS IS NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS TRUMP'S DONROE'S DICTATORSHIP IMPERIALISTIC DOCTRINE.
Today, 170 Cardinals gathered for the first consistory. Pope Leo XIV was flanked in the Synod Hall by his Curia Cardinals, most of whom are pro-homosexual: Tucho (Faith), Mendonça (Education), Grech (Synod), Roche (Liturgy), Baggio (Human Development), and Artime (Religious). After entering the Synod Hall, English pro-homosexual Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, 80, delivered a meditation to the Cardinals. The decision to keep him in the same role he held during the Synod on Synodality carries symbolic weight. His speech today was fairly mild. However, just the day before, Cardinal Radcliffe called for the urgent ordination of women as deacons. The cardinals were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of cardinals under the age of 80. This group was further divided into nine round tables. The second group, consisting of elderly cardinals and the Roman Curia, was divided into eleven round tables. In the groups, the Cardinals discussed Synodality and Evangelisation. One anonymous …More
"The Stranger" is a song by Gord Downie that makes up his multimedia work titled, The Secret Path which tells the very sad story of Indigenous 12-year-old boy Chanie Wenjak. The work is supported by a novel and a film. The story is that Chanie run away from a Canadian residential school. It was to get away from the disrespect and physical abuse. So, he decided to walk home, a 600 kilometre journey from where the school was located in Kenora, Ontario. The boy never made it because he died of hunger and the cold weather. His body was found near a railroad track on October 7, 1966. The song aims to point out the suffering, loneliness and fear experienced by the children who attended residential schools. It's all become part of the long truth and reconciliation project that Canada's Liberal government adopted in 2015. In May 2020, there was also the claim that 215 graves were found near the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Note: no actual graves have been found. The only problem with …
THE DONROE DOCTRINE AS D.T. HAD PRESENTED IT SO PROUDLY IS NOT WELCOME IN ANY CORNER OF THE WORLD AND WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED. AS D.T. HAS PROVEN THAT HE CAN IGNORE AND UNDERMINE INTERNATIONAL LAWS, THE GINEVRA TREATY, THE U.S. CONGRESS, AND THE U.N. ARTICLES THAT MODERATE CONFLICTS, DIPLOMACY AND WARS IN THE WORLD. The entire world sees the U.S. as a threat now, the commercial warfare is scaling to actual warfare to steal the resources and land from other countries. Latin America has shown opposition against the unjustifiable acts of the U.S., others countries around the world followed from Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia. The U.S. has lost its image, respect and credibility before THE ENTIRE WORLD. China and Russia are no longer seen as a threat or enemy, it's the U.S. that's taken that place for the lunacy and bloodlust of power of ONE MAN AND HIS SMALL CABINET AND ELITE GROUP.

A Full Training in Sacred Art Wall Painting Suitable for Catholics Writing the Light’s 2-year Certificate, Starts Fall 2026, Applications Open Now.

31 priests of the Diocese of Charlotte have formally challenged recent liturgical directives issued by Bishop Michael Martin, submitting Dubia to of all places the Vatican. The Substack.com account The Pillar reports that the priests’ letter to the Dicastery for Legislative Texts was sent on January 5. It questions whether the bishop has the authority to mandate the removal and prohibition of kneelers for Communion. This a policy was announced in a “pastoral” letter by Bishop Martin on December 17. Temporary kneeling fixtures are required to be removed by Jan. 16. Thirty-one priests are about a quarter of the diocesan presbyterate.

Furthermore, the Dubia question Bishop Martin’s authority to prohibit certain vestments, liturgical prayers, gestures, and elements associated with the Mass of the Roman rite but …More

Roman Catholic Cardinal - Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako Louis Raphaël I Cardinal Sako [Catholic-Hierarchy] The Eliya line was a traditionalist patriarchate of the Church of the East, originating from the 1552 schism, residing primarily at the Rabban Hormizd Monastery near Alqosh, Iraq, and maintaining independence from Rome while resisting Catholic overtures for centuries. This branch preserved its unique East Syriac traditions and Christology, eventually seeing most followers unite with Rome by 1830 to form the Chaldean Catholic Church, while the rival Shimun line continued as the Assyrian Church of the East The East Syriac Christian Church (Church of the East) traces its founding to the Apostles, primarily St. Thomas the Apostle, along with St. Addai (Thaddeus) and St. Mari, who brought Christianity to Mesopotamia and Persia, establishing the See of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, with traditions also linking Bartholomew.

Cardinal Sako in Iraq receives threats after Christmas homily. Photo: al-monitor In Iraq, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako received threats from Islamist groups after a Christmas homily in Baghdad. This was reported by Chaldean Press. The reason for the attacks on the cardinal was his homily, where he used the word "normalization", speaking about the need for reconciliation and spiritual unity in Iraqi society. However, some Islamic leaders interpreted this expression as a call for political normalization of relations with Israel, which caused a sharp reaction and legal appeals demanding Sako's arrest. After this, Sako began receiving numerous threats from Iraq and Iran. Representatives of the Chaldean Archdiocese issued a statement clarifying that the speech was exclusively about internal peace and cultural development of the country, not about international relations. The document emphasizes that the homily had no political undertones, and the word "normalization …
