Zen Responds After Being Labeled "Distorted Personality" for Defending a Persecuted Bishop

Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, of Hong Kong, responded publicly to an article by Fr. Han Qingping concerning the “retirement” of Bishop Zhang Weizhu of the Diocese of Xinxiang and the consecration of Bishop Li Jianlin.
Fr. Han’s article described the replacement of the persecuted underground bishop with the state-recognized bishop as a positive sign of improving Sino-Vatican relations. He claimed that critics of the situation - implicitly referring to Cardinal Zen - were motivated by “stupidity,” “malice,” or a “distorted personality.”
“This struck a nerve with me,” Cardinal Zen replied via his personal blog on December 11: “I don’t admit to being a ‘bad person’ or having a ‘personality disorder,’ but I am indeed ‘stupid’ enough to ‘take it personally.’”
Zen also responded to Fr. Han’s reference to his criticism of the Synod on Synodality. He clarified that his description of “Church suicide behavior” does not refer to the synod as a whole or to synodality in general, but …More

The world only makes sense once you accept Sedevacantism.
Reality demands it.
Sedevacantism is not a novelty — it is simply Roman Catholicism living through an extraordinarily long Papal interregnum.

Cardinal Müller's Hard Line Against FSSPX and German Synodal Path

“There have been endless dialogues with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, but they simply circle around,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com on December 12.
“There is no way around recognising the Second Vatican Council as the twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church.”
He added: “The claim that the Lefebvrists are the last bastion of true Catholicity must finally come to an end.”
At the same time, Cardinal Müller acknowledged that the Fraternity has correctly identified “the wounds inflicted on the Body of Christ by self-appointed reformers in the style of Modernism.” But, he insisted, “there is never a justification for distancing oneself from the Catholic Church — even though the Church is a mixture of saints and sinners.”
For Cardinal Müller, the moment has come for “all Catholics to reunite in the truth of Christ, who in the person of St Peter and his successor, Pope Leo XIV, has established an enduring principle and foundation of …More

He accurately, describes the Synodal Way, but as @sp2 . . noted these attitudes and intentions are not just applicable to the Church in Germany but are found everywhere in the Western Latin Rite!

“It is nothing other than a heretical attempt to replace the Christian understanding of the human person with gender ideology, and to present this corruption of doctrine to a naïve audience as its so-called ‘development’.”
Dear Cardinal Mueller,
What you say about the German Church, is also rampant throughout the entire Church today. Time to wake up and stop drinking your bath water.
How can you defend a wonderful Church that elevates practitioners of The Cult of Maria Lionza to Sainthood, and by the way have no intentions of reversing it?
Have you spoken up on this issue - of course not. Since Francis elevated you to a higher position, you are loyal to his rubbish.

WHO Pushes Global Plan to Normalize Trackable 'Health' Devices and AI Monitoring for Every Citizen on Earth - Slay News

The World Health Organization (WHO) has unveiled its newest blueprint for “digital health transformation,” and critics warn it’s the clearest signal yet that the unelected global body intends to normalize trackable wearables, AI-driven monitoring, and centralized “health” data control for the world’s population.
Released this month, the updated “
Global strategy on digital health 2020–2027” lays out a sweeping plan to expand the use of digital IDs, biometric devices, AI analytics, and remote-surveillance tools, all under the banner of “universal health coverage.”
WHO says digital health means everything from phone apps to “artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics and smart wearables,” and the organization wants governments worldwide to accelerate adoption.
Its own language makes clear this will not remain optional.
WHO claims the goal is to ensure “all people have access to the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial …

Bergoglio Victims….
If people really believe in life after death and divine judgment, would they not be worried that the Pope does not seem to have repented of the sexual abuse he is alleged to have committed and covered up in his life? Hence, unlike many others, I am praying that the Pope dies repentant more than he merely lives a little longer.

Obviously an old post - it's too late to pray that Francis die "repentant." that ship has sailed. While true that ONLY God judges & knows, it doesn't look good from what information we have.

French Public Broadcaster Claims Christmas Markets Are a Tradition Tied to the Nazis – Allah's Willing Executioners

Who needs Christmas market attackers when you have French state television? AI generator
A French public broadcaster has been accused of spreading anti-Christian messaging by saying that the tradition of Christmas markets is tied to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis.
This week, taxpayer-funded Franceinfo published a video titled “Christmas markets, a tradition rehabilitated by the Nazis” on social media, which,
according to Le Figaro, opened with the question: “Did you know there’s a link between the Nazis and our beloved Christmas markets?”
The broadcaster went on to claim that the tradition was “largely revived” by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party under Adolph Hitler in the 1930s as a means of promoting economic growth by encouraging the purchase of goods made in Germany at Christmas markets.
While Franceinfo journalist Antoine Milan Depeuille acknowledged that Christmas markets predate the formation of the Nazi party by hundreds of years during the Holy Roman Empire and …

Australia Bans Social Media for Under-16s, Triggers Fears of Mandatory Digital ID for All Adults - Slay News

Australia’s unprecedented move to delete more than one million social media accounts belonging to users under 16 is already sparking global controversy, but critics say the real story is far more alarming.
To enforce the ban, every adult in Australia will be forced to prove they are over 16 to access social media.
That means Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, and X will have no way to comply unless they begin requiring full age verification from every Australian citizen who uses their platforms.
The
new law, which came into effect on Wednesday, is creating what experts warn is a de facto national digital ID system controlled by Big Tech and rubber-stamped by the government.
The government argues that the law will not force citizens to upload their state-issued ID to social media platforms.
However, the companies that run the platforms now have a legal obligation to verify the age of every Australian citizen who uses their services.

Gov Pritzker Signs Bill to Make Illinois a Hub for ‘Suicide Tourism’ - Slay News

Illinois Democrat Governor JB Pritzker signed a sweeping “assisted suicide” bill on Friday, drawing sharp condemnation from pro-life advocates.
Critics warn that the state is now poised to become a regional hub for what they call “suicide tourism.”
The
law permits physicians to prescribe lethal drugs to patients diagnosed with terminal illnesses and given less than six months to live.
The Democrat-controlled state Senate passed the bill in a 30–27 vote just after midnight on Halloween, and it has sat on Pritzker’s desk for more than a month.
“I have been deeply impacted by the stories of Illinoisans or their loved ones that have suffered from a devastating terminal illness, and I have been moved by their dedication to standing up for freedom and choice at the end of life in the midst of personal heartbreak,” Pritzker said after signing the measure.
Conservative and religious liberty advocates, however, say the law goes far beyond what supporters claim.
They warn it will force …

Sarah Mullally, the first woman appointed "Archbishop of Canterbury" of the Church of England, has been accused of mishandling an abuse case. She is due to take office on January 28. The allegation centers on her decision to send a confidential email about abuse claims directly to the accused priest, bypassing formal disciplinary procedures. The case involves a victim known as “Survivor N,” who filed a formal complaint in 2020 and reportedly received no response. Mullally has since acknowledged that "Survivor N" was not given adequate support by the Church.

Canadian Media Celebrates After 47-Year-Old Disability Rights Advocate Euthanized by Government - Slay News

Canada’s state broadcaster is once again under fire for glorifying the nation’s spiraling euthanasia regime, this time celebrating after the government euthanized Alberta athlete and disability rights advocate Brian McPherson.
McPherson was killed by lethal injection at just 47 years old.
He was euthanized under Canada’s taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), which is part of the nation’s socialized healthcare system.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) framed his death in strikingly upbeat language,
writing that “McPherson died by Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), after battling several health complications.”
Predictably, the broadcaster presented MAiD as compassionate healthcare rather than what it is: Canada’s government-endorsed expansion of “assisted suicide” into nearly every corner of public life.
CBC even chose to spotlight a quote from McPherson’s mother that reinforces the government’s narrative.
“Over the last five years, he was, his body was …

Leo XIV Received Archbishop Georg Gänswein

Pope Leo XIV received Archbishop Georg Gänswein in a private audience on Friday, the Vatican Press Office said.
Monsignor Gänswein, a German archbishop, currently serves as Apostolic Nuncio to the Baltic states.
The meeting was Gänswein’s first with Pope Leo XIV since the Pope’s election in May.
Formerly the personal secretary of Pope Benedict XVI, Gänswein was in Rome the previous evening for the presentation of a book titled God Is the True Reality, featuring previously unpublished homilies by Benedict XVI. The book has been released in Italian, with a German edition in preparation.
No details were given about the content of the papal audience.
