‘Commentary on the Apocalypse’ by Saint Victorinus - From the Second Chapter – part 1 0f 1 – points 2-28

[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; Roman Greece/Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian]
“From the Second Chapter
2. I know your works, and your labour, and your patience. In the first epistle He speaks thus: I know that you suffer and work, I see that you are patient; think not that I am staying long from you.
And that you can not bear them that are evil, and who say that they are Jews and are not, and you have found them liars, and you have patience for My name's sake. All these things tend to praise, and that no small praise; and it behooves such men, and such a class, and such elected persons, by all means to be admonished, that they may not be defrauded of such privileges granted to them of God. These few things He said that He had against them.
4, 5. And you have left your first love: remember whence you have fallen. He who falls, falls from a height: therefore He said whence: because, even to the very last, works of love must be practised; and this is …More

AfD reaches biggest-ever lead over CDU in nationwide poll, set to win two State elections in 2026 – Allah's Willing Executioners

Germany’s right-wing AfD opposition has continued to extend its lead in opinion polls in the new year.
In the latest
survey by pollster GMS, conducted between December 23 and January 5, the Alternative for Germany party (AfD) has put a record distance between itself and the ruling CDU/CSU of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
While the AfD came in first place with 27 per cent of the hypothetical vote, only 24 per cent of respondents would cast their ballot for Merz’s Union parties, a difference of three percentage points.
Never before has a nationwide German poll put the AfD so far ahead of the governing Conservatives. Its support of 27 per cent also represents a new high water mark for Alice Weidel’s party.
For the survey, 1,027 Germans were questioned online and via telephone between December 23 and January 5.
No other party came close to the AfD and CDU. The Social Democrats (SPD) coming in third at 15 per cent, the Green Party reached 12 per cent, and the hard-left Die Linke party …

More than 30 priests from the Diocese of Charlotte have formally appealed to the Vatican with a series of questions concerning recent liturgical directives issued by their bishop, including the prohibition of altar rails and kneelers during Communion. The questions, known as dubia, were submitted in a letter to the Dicastery for Legislative Texts on Jan. 5.

Dozens of Charlotte Priests Appeal to Vatican Over Liturgical Restrictions

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. They argue that kneeling for Communion is explicitly permitted by the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and part of the traditional liturgical practice of the Church.
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

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.

Nine Reasons Why Trump’s Venezuela Operation Is Great for America › American Greatness

The brilliantly executed US operation to snatch Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro benefits American citizens in many different ways.
It took out the head of a major international organized crime cartel. The cartel, which the US has labeled the “Cartel de los Soles,” or Cartel of the Suns, is responsible for cocaine trafficking into the United States. Maduro had turned the upper levels of the Venezuelan government, military, and security services into a huge organized crime entity. The Department of Justice is prosecuting Maduro and others for running what a federal grand jury
indictment calls “a corrupt and violent narco-terrorism conspiracy.” While no evidence indicates that Maduro’s cartel directly trafficked fentanyl into the U.S., the Treasury Department sanctioned the Cartel of the Suns last July for providing material support to the Sinaloa cartel of Mexico, which the DOJ described as “flooding the United States with fentanyl.”

More conspiracy madness.

Fr. James Altman joins John-Henry Westen to expose what he calls a deliberate campaign to weaken Catholic truth from within.
He describes his “exile” as a warning to other priests, enforced through silence and fear, and explains how his new books aim to fortify faithful Catholics with Scripture and timeless doctrine.
The conversation also addresses the Vatican’s rejection of Marian titles like Co-Redemptrix, liberal bishops prioritizing illegal immigration over reverent liturgy, and attempts to form a “one-world religion.” Altman blasts these moves as spiritual sabotage, “rat poison” meant to erode doctrine subtly over time.
