Vatican Nativity Unveiled in St. Peter’s Square: Today, the Vatican inaugurated the nativity scene and lit up the Christmas tree in St Peter’s Square. This year's nativity scene was created by the Diocese of Nocera Inferiore–Sarno, which has close links to St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori. His relics are venerated in Pagani, within the diocese. The nativity includes a figure of the saint, who founded the Redemptorists and wrote the Christmas hymn “Tu scendi dalle stelle”.
Il bellissimo Presepio Vaticano di quest’anno, con figure in legno intagliate a mano realizzate nella diocesi italiana di Nocera Inferiore-Sarno, è stato inaugurato questa sera. Comincia davvero a sembrare Natale!
Neither Bergoglio nor Prevost appear in the Mantle of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The 46 stars on the Virgin of Guadalupe's mantle prove that Bergoglio and Prevost are not legitimate Popes These 46 stars on the tilma represent the 46 popes since the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. They also correlate with the prophecies of Garabandal, which indicate that the End Times began after Benedict XVI. "I earnestly desire that a temple be erected for me here." The temple requested by the Virgin of Guadalupe is not the new modernist "basilica" that has been desecrated with syncretic ecumenical gatherings that violate the First Commandment and contradict the evangelizing message of the Virgin of Guadalupe. This site was also desecrated by the anti-apostolic visit of the false pope Bergoglio.
While more than 10 million pilgrims filled the streets of Tepeyac for the 12 December celebrations honouring Our Lady of Guadalupe, a serious internal crisis has been unfolding at the Basilica in Mexico City. According to InfoVaticana (15 December), the rector, Canon Efraín Hernández Díaz, has been removed from office and placed under a canonical investigation ordered by the Archdiocese of Mexico. The move followed an unprecedented formal complaint by the Guadalupe chapter to Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes. The canons accuse the rector of opaque financial administration, lack of transparency and accountability, and of bypassing them. The chapter shares legal responsibility for overseeing the sanctuary. According to the canons, these practices endangered both the material assets and the spiritual mission of Mexico’s most important Marian shrine. In response, Cardinal Aguiar removed the rector on 20 September and ordered a preliminary canonical investigation, opened on 3 October. The …More
Witness account from Bondi Beach tonight: He reports that at least four police officers did not return fire for over 20 minutes yesterday. The police station is only a few hundred metres away. Any comment from Cardinal Parolin?
Also these are crimes of murder for which laws exist to investigate and prosecute. Jail and even enforce capital punishment. Not excuses for international wars.

As seen in recent months, Leo's Vatican at least "tries" to appear somewhat Catholic - although they also are continuing Francis' program of undermining the Faith apace. But hey, at least we got a nice creche scene this year and not some modernist monstrosity. Small blessings.

European media immediately stirred up panic. They argued that to prevent disease outbreaks from spreading directly from the US to Europe, vaccination rates in these countries must remain high. However, serious illnesses or even deaths from childhood diseases have become very rare. This is not, as is often claimed, due to vaccinations. The mortality figures of the last 130 years are clear: even before the advent of vaccination, measles deaths had already decreased by over 99 percent. Source. Once again, the scientific justification for the foundations of pseudoscience—applied vaccinology—which traces its origins back to Pasteur’s fraudulent practices, is crumbling in the face of the facts. The “proof” of the health benefits of vaccinations, disseminated worldwide for over a century and a half, is deeply …
In December, the Family Pastoral Service of the Diocese of Chiavari, Italy, published a booklet titled Non c’è un amore più grande (“There Is No Greater Love”). The diocese is run by Bishop Giampio Devasini. The publication presents a collection of autobiographical “Christian testimonies” of homosexuals and adulterers. Among the homosexuals are Marco and Michele: "We have been together since 2001." The two homosexuals are increasingly integrated into parish life, including participation in the parish choir and diocesan pastoral activities: "What was previously set aside because it was uncomfortable and difficult to testify to has now become a reason for commitment, to bring our experiences to others." They blame their lifestyle on God: "I believe that the ultimate goal of our work is to break down those walls of division that have always hindered the active participation of people belonging to the broad sphere of homoaffectivity in the life of the Church, under the love of the one …More
How a Catholic diocese can boast about open, serial and non-repentant sinners being witnesses to the faith is a non sequitur. Not only is it illogical, but it is also scandalous and sinful. No wonder people are fleeing the Catholic Church in droves.
Pope Leo XIV: “Authentic diplomacy is distinguished from self-interested calculations or a balance between rivals who hide their respective differences precisely by the ability to reach sincere agreements.”
Claire Lai, the daughter of 78-year-old Catholic convert Jimmy Lai, has spoken out for the first time about her father, who has been imprisoned under Hong Kong’s National Security Law for five years. The charge is “collusion with foreign forces.” According to Claire, her father is in rapidly declining health, suffering from diabetes, hypertension and infections, as well as severe weight loss. He lives in a windowless cell in heat, with no access to fresh air or sunlight. She says he has been denied regular medical care, the Eucharist and even his rosary. Yet his faith sustains him: he prays daily, reads the Gospel when permitted, and believes that God is with him. “He is innocent,” she says. “He has suffered enough. Unless something changes, he may become a martyr for freedom.”

Who will save Generation Z? Dear brothers and sisters, which voice should we listen to, which leader should we follow, which path should we take, which door should we pass through to enjoy this wonderful gift of God that is life? These are the questions that every person who has come, is coming, and will come in this world has had, must, and will have to face. Questions that resonate desperately urgently for Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012), for whom, according to a recent survey conducted in the United States, the world is frightening. (Gen Z Views World as "Scary Place" with Growing … The Church's invitation to everyone, but especially to this generation, is not to be afraid! Indeed, for us Christians, there is no doubt: Jesus of Nazareth is the way that leads to the whole truth; He is the door that gives access to eternal life; he is the light that ignites the heart; he is the Love that ignites unending joy; he is the Son of God who leads His people to the definitive …More
Three Hong Kong judges found Jimmy Lai, 78, guilty under the National Security Law. Hong Kong media tycoon and Catholic convert Jimmy Lai, 78, was found guilty on Monday of two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and one count of sedition under a Beijing-imposed national security law. The founder of the now-defunct newspaper Apple Daily, had pleaded not guilty to all charges. The offences carry a potential life sentence, with sentencing expected at a later date. Lai has been in custody since 2020. The trial was heard by a panel of three judges without a jury, as permitted under the national security law, and has attracted worldwide attention. Critics argue that the case exemplifies the erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong. The United Kingdom has strongly criticised the verdict. In a statement posted on X, Britain’s Foreign Office described the prosecution as politically motivated and said that Lai had been targeted for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression. …More
We remember our childhood years, A joyful time, when snow reached our knees, When we searched for the star in the sky. Where are the children of those days? Where is the joy we once knew? Maybe it’s gone because we no longer want children, Cats and dogs are enough for us now. So say: “Merry Christmas, I love you” — And that is enough, Love will mend what has gone wrong.
