'Montaigne died in 1592 at the age of 59, at the Château de Montaigne, from a peritonsillar abscess. In his case, the disease "brought about paralysis of the tongue",[39] especially difficult for a person who once said that "the most fruitful and natural play of the mind is conversation. I find it sweeter than any other action in life; and if I were forced to choose, I think I would rather lose my sight than my hearing and voice."[40] Remaining in possession of all his other faculties, he requested a Mass, and he died during the celebration of that Mass.'
Study begun in 2020 published its summary results today -- “The status quaestionis of historical research and theological investigation, as well as their mutual implications, excludes the possibility of proceeding in the direction of admitting women to the diaconate understood as a degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders. In light of Sacred Scripture, Tradition, and ecclesiastical Magisterium, this assessment is strong, although it does not allow for a definitive judgment to be formulated at this time, as in the case of priestly ordination”
The Vatican on Thursday published the conclusions of its study commission on women deacons. The Commission rules out admitting women to the diaconate understood as a degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders, but without issuing a definitive judgment at this time. The report stresses repeatedly that the negative assessment is “strong” yet “does not permit formulating a definitive judgment,” unlike the case of priestly ordination. Submission of the Report to Pope Leo XIV On 18 September, Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi, President of the Study Commission on the Female Diaconate, submitted to Pope Leo XIV a detailed synthesis of the Commission’s work. The report reflects several years of historical, theological, and pastoral investigation. Historical Findings: A Non-Sacramental Ancient Practice The Commission revisited the findings of two earlier Vatican commissions. Historical research confirms that, in the early Church, the title deaconess appeared in different regions and periods, but with …More
Ordinatio Sacerdotalis states -- “I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women & that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful” In 2018 the Vatican said this text had the mark of “infallibility”
On 3 December, two separate fires were discovered inside the Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Fonsorbes, southwest of Toulouse. Flames were first seen around 4:30 p.m. on the main altar while faithful were present. Shortly after, a second fire was found on the altar cloth in the Virgin’s chapel, several metres away. Authorities have opened an investigation.
Tolosa: due altari incendiati in una chiesa A tre settimane da Natale, mentre il periodo dell'Avvento è in pieno svolgimento, due incendi sono stati riscontrati mercoledì 3 dicembre 2025 nella chiesa di Saint-Jean-Baptiste di Fonsorbes, a sud-ovest di Tolosa. I fatti riportati da Actu Toulouse precisano che le fiamme sono state osservate intorno alle 16:30, mentre i parrocchiani erano presenti nell'edificio. "Una signora era venuta a pregare e ha visto che la tovaglia dell'altare principale stava bruciando", testimonia il vicario, padre Pierre Cussonnet. Pochi istanti dopo, un secondo focolare è stato scoperto: "Un'altra tovaglia si trovava nella cappella della Vergine, a destra del coro", riferisce ancora. Anche l'altare di questa cappella laterale è stato colpito, come testimoniano le foto trasmesse alla redazione. Due focolai distinti, situati a diversi metri l'uno dall'altro: difficile vedere la semplice propagazione di uno stesso incendio. Ancora più inquietante, ai piedi di …More

A recent commentary by Professor Roberto de Mattei suggests that Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, is both incompetent and a liar. The column recounts a verbal exchange between Diane Montagna and Fernández regarding the doctrinal note Mater Populi fidelis. Responding to the Montagna , Cardinal Fernández explained that the statement contained in no. 22 of the doctrinal note Mater Populi fidelis—according to which “it is always inappropriate” to use the title “Co-redemptrix” to define Mary’s cooperation in Christ’s work of Redemption—refers exclusively to the official use of the title “Co-Redemptrix,” that is, in liturgical texts and documents of the Holy See, but does not extend to private devotion or theological discussions among the faithful. The central point of the interview concerns the meaning of the expression “always inappropriate” in reference to the title of Co-Redemptrix. Diane Montagna asks whether the term, …
The Tiara is Back: Images circulating online, including a growing wave of memes, show Pope Leo XIV and the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria, Theodoros II, during an ecumenical liturgy on 29 November in Cathedral St George. Leo XIV is wearing his white zucchetto, while the schismatic Patriarch Theodoros II is using a tiara.
The Orthodox mostly wore icons around their necks. I noticed the Vatican delegation (and Leo) wore crosses, not crucifixes. Perhaps the Synodal church wants to appear more Protestant.
A Methodist pastor from Rochester, New York, shocked her congregation after publicly announcing she is a transgender woman during a service. Pastor Phil Phaneuf — now transitioning and adopting new pronouns — said her parents “do not support” her decision.
Saint Barbara of Nicomedia - December 4 That's don Reto Nay, cofounder of GTV! Virgin and Martyr (3rd century) St. Barbara's pagan father Dioscorus confined her in a tower and goaded her to renounce Jesus. In that forced solitude, she prayed and studied. She also received formation and baptism. When St. Barbara's activities were uncovered, Dioscorus was enraged. He denounced St. Barbara before a civil tribunal. As punishment, she was tortured and beheaded. Martyrologies state that Dioscorus was St. Barbara's executioner. Some also state that he was killed by a lightning bolt. St. Barbara's prayers likely resulted in conversions and miracles through her intercession. Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler, Benziger Bros. ed. [1894]

Barbe Memorial 4 December formerly 16 December limited to local calendars in 1969 Profile A beautiful maiden imprisoned in a high tower by her father Dioscorus for disobedience. While there, she was tutored by philosphers, orators and poets. From them she learned to think, and decided that polytheism was nonsense. With the help of Origen and Valentinian, she converted to Christianity. Her father denounced her to the local authorities for her faith, and they ordered him to kill her. She escaped, but he caught her, dragged her home by her hair, tortured her, and killed her. He was immediately struck by lightning, or according to some sources, fire from heaven. Her imprisonment led to her association with towers, then the construction and maintenance of them, then to their military uses. The lightning that avenged her murder led to asking her protection against fire and lightning, and her patronage of firefighters, etc. Her association with things military and …More
