The controversy surrounding the Shroud of Turin does not allow us to draw any conclusions about its authenticity. It is interesting to note that Bishop Oresmes (a pioneer of the Middle Ages without whom the scientific revolution would never have taken place) rejected it a priori.
From Cathedrals to City Squares, the Joy of Christmas Lights Up the World From towering cathedral spires to bustling city squares, the world glows with the light of Christmas. Cities everywhere are illuminating the season with shimmering trees, twinkling lights, and festive decorations that awaken joy and wonder. Choirs lift sacred hymns, candles flicker in prayer, and families gather in awe, feeling the spirit of hope and renewal. These celebrations are more than dazzling displays—they are a luminous reminder that light conquers darkness, faith endures, and the promise of peace and love enters every heart this season. hmtv
More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
Troubling to say the least. Shouldn't this fellow's carnal obsessiveness been a 'flag' to his superiors about his suitability for holy orders? (The question is both rhetorical and ironic.)
No Need for Traditional Latin Mass in Kazakhstan – because of Reverend Novus Ordo Adrian Milag: Your excellency, you strongly promote the Traditional Latin Mass, but there seems to be no listed TLMs in Kazakhstan. Could you clarify the situation? Bishop Athanasius Schneider: Well, our current bishops are not so considering. Well, we have very few people who demand it because majority of our liturgies, thanks be to God, are very worthy. We have in all Kazakhstan, the communion in hand is prohibited; formally, it is prohibited by the decree of the bishop’s conference. The only ordinary form to receive Holy Communion is kneeling on the tongue in all churches, in all chapels, with the paten. There is no other possibility, except of course, for sick people.
Le père Guy Pagès, prêtre du diocèse de Paris connu pour ses prises de position fermes sur l’islam et sur la fidélité à la doctrine catholique, a récemment adressé une lettre ouverte au pape Léon XIV. Il y dénonce la profanation de l’Eucharistie qui, selon lui, s’est produite lors de la messe de réouverture de Notre-Dame de Paris le 8 décembre 2024, quand Brigitte Macron a publiquement reçu la communion. 1. Les faits dénoncés Lors de cette messe solennelle, célébrée par l’archevêque de Paris Laurent Ulrich et retransmise à la télévision, Brigitte Macron s’est avancée pour communier, ce qui n’a suscité aucune réaction du clergé présent. Pourtant, elle vit dans une situation matrimoniale considérée comme irrégulière du point de vue catholique (remariage sans mariage religieux après divorce) et soutient publiquement des positions contraires à la doctrine de l’Église (avortement, euthanasie, revendications LGBT). Le commentaire télévisé affirmait même qu’elle avait «…More

This Discovery in the Mariana Trench Will Transform Geopolitics Welcome to the deepest point on Earth, nearly 11,000 meters down. No sunlight. Crushing pressure. It’s more alien than the surface of Mars. And we know almost nothing about it. But now, one country is racing to explore these depths, and not just for science. China is deploying fleets of deep-sea robots, building underwater bases, and quietly moving to claim what lies at the bottom, before anyone else can. As the U.S. guts its ocean research programs, China is diving deeper, moving faster, and investing more aggressively than any nation in history. So what exactly is down there? And why is China so determined to get it first? Watch the video to find out. youtube.com/watch?v=6NnLfbTCM2I
EILMELDUNG: Präsident Trump kündigt an, dass er die Umweltvorschriften für Landmaschinenhersteller wie JOHN DEERE DRASTISCH REDUZIEREN wird, um Landwirten zu helfen und die Preise zu senken. „In vielen Fällen braucht man mittlerweile einen IQ von 185, um einen Rasenmäher anzuschalten!“ „Die bringen überhaupt nichts, außer dass sie alles kompliziert und unpraktisch machen!“ „Die müssen ihre Preise senken. Landwirtschaftliche Geräte sind viel zu teuer geworden!“ „Die sind mit so viel Umwelttechnik vollgestopft, die überhaupt nichts bringt, und sie sind nicht mehr so gut wie früher!“ x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1998117655182463358 Danijel_Sheran17
Why Shoppers are Getting Surprise Tariff Bills nytimes.com/…2/01/business/tariffs-customs- … Any imported products valued at $800 or less were able to enter the United States duty-free. But this summer, that exemption ended. Now, some consumers are getting hit with steep tariff bills before they can receive their packages — sometimes for hundreds of dollars. NBC’s Vicky Nguyen reports for TODAY on what to know before you order.
The end of a tariff exemption on goods worth $800 or less has left some U.S. shoppers with an extra shipping bill that must be paid before delivery. nytimes.com/…2/01/business/tariffs-customs- … Kim Batten, a physical therapist from Oakland, Calif., bought a trench coat earlier this year from a Dutch retailer for $456, a price that was a little above her budget. But after the coat was shipped, UPS told Ms. Batten in an email that she would have to pay over $250 in customs duties to receive it. With shipping, the whole transaction came to well over $700. “It ended up being the second most expensive article of clothing I’ve ever bought, other than my wedding gown,” she said. For decades, no customs duties were imposed on items like Ms. Batten’s coat. But this year, President Trump closed a loophole that had allowed goods worth $800 or less to enter the United States tariff free. The loophole, known as the de minimis exemption, ended for items from China in May and for the rest of the …More
The entire Windsor family is depraved. They have done very little to safeguard Christianity in England, even though Charles is the head of the Anglican church.
Saint Gregory III | The Pope Who Defended Holy Images | Catechism for Kids Pope Saint Gregory III (d. 741) was the 90th Pope of the Catholic Church and one of the most courageous defenders of sacred images in Church history. Born in Syria, he was elected Pope by popular acclamation during the funeral of Pope Gregory II — a sign of how beloved and respected he already was in Rome. His papacy is best remembered for his strong stand against iconoclasm, the destruction of holy images forced upon Christians by Byzantine Emperor Leo III. In 731, Gregory III convened a synod in Rome that formally condemned iconoclasm and defended the veneration of sacred images — a teaching that remains central to Catholic tradition today. He worked tirelessly to strengthen Rome, improve monastic life, and support missionaries such as Saint Boniface, helping spread Christianity throughout Germany. He also sought protection from the Franks against the Lombards, laying early foundations for the future alliance …More
