𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆: A Catholic Perspective In this life, our friendships can shape our journey to eternity. True friends encourage us to grow closer to God, walking with us toward salvation. St. John Bosco, a great saint and friend of youth, taught: "Do you want to do a good deed? Teach the young to be good. Do you want to perform a holy act? Correct someone who is wrong. Do you want to do a holy thing? Advise someone well. There you have it." True friends lovingly correct us and lead us to holiness. The Bible warns us about choosing friends carefully: "Be not a friend to an angry man, and do not walk with a furious man: Lest perhaps you learn his ways, and take scandal to your soul" (Proverbs 22:24-25, Douay-Rheims). A good friend is a partner in virtue, not a source of sin. St. Augustine, a Doctor of the Church, reminds us: "In this world, two loves have built two cities: the love of God, reaching even to the contempt of self, and the love of self, reaching even to the contempt …More
December 12 Our Lady of Guadalupe Queen of Mexico (1531) In December 1531, ten years after taking Mexico City by Cortés, walking the Indian Juan Diego, who came from Cuautitlán, towards the hill of Tepeyac - hill that is north of the metropolis - he heard a melodious music that was called sweetly. She was a beautiful Lady, who spoke to her with maternal words. -Juan Diego, my son, where are you going? - He replied that to Tlatelolco to hear Mass. -And the Lady added: I am the always Virgin Mary, Mother of the true God. The dialogues between the Virgin and Juan Diego are a delight of sweetness. - Juan Dieguito, my youngest son, do not disturb your heart. Am I not here that I am your mother? Am I not the source of your joy? Aren't you in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? - And Juan Diego answers: My lady, my youngest daughter, my young lady, my daughter, my little girl, how did you wake up? Do you feel your beloved little body well, my girl? The Virgin asks him to go …More
Canadian Bill Criminalizes Quoting Holy Scripture: In Canada, Bill C-9 would amend the Criminal Code by removing the religious exemption in Section 319(3)(b). The change could allow quoting Holy Scripture in good faith to be prosecuted as hate speech, with penalties of up to two years in prison. The proposal comes from the Liberal government. The Canadian Bishops' Conference has formally opposed the bill in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, warning of legal uncertainty for clergy, educators, and believers and a restriction of religious freedom.
The secular toxic legislation is largely an attack on Christians and Christian belief. The governing Liberal Party of Canada and the Bloc Party from Quebec have no respect for Christians. Today, Catholic Quebec that once was strong is dying quickly. How can you uproot your Christian heritage, the very foundations of the nation, and still have a country? You won’t. You have what former PM Justin Trudeau referred to as a post-nation state with no core values. We have posted several entries about this very sad development in Canada at Everyday for Life Canada.

We continue posting daily Advent reflections by the Church Fathers. It's a good way to prepare to celebrate Christmas. The reflections and quotations come from the book titled, Advent and Christmas with the Church Fathersby Marco Pappalardo. Introduction Good and evil are not far removed from human experience: they are the light and darkness of everyday life. There is a human and material good that needs to be illuminated by the light of Christ to prevent it from becoming evil; there are adversities that can plunge us into the darkest of depths without the burning flame of faith. We can choose to follow the light of the star or to remain motionless, lamenting the darkness. St. Augustine, Thus it is night down here; but this night seems to have its light and its shadows. If we call it night in general, what is its light? The prosperity and happiness of this world, temporal joy, and temporal honours are the quasi-light of this night. But the adversity and bitterness of tribulations and …
"What kind of unity do we actually want?", asked Cardinal Kurt Koch about ecumenism talking to Die Tagespost on 11 December. He explained that the Church and orthodox groups seek unity in terms of faith and sacraments. However, some Protestant groups envisage "unity" whereby each group remains as it is while recognising one another mutually. With the Orthodox, a consensus has yet to be reached, especially regarding the authority of the Pope. Cardinal Koch noted that a Pope seen merely as "primus inter pares" with no real authority "would only work in fair weather".
Kurienkardinal Kurt Koch betont, dass auf dem Weg zur christlichen Einheit noch viel zu klären ist – vor allem, welche Form von Einheit angestrebt wird. Während katholische und orthodoxe Kirchen eine Einheit in Glauben, Sakramenten und Ämtern wollen, sehen manche reformatorische Kirchen eher ein Nebeneinander bestehender Kirchen als ausreichende Einheit. Im Dialog mit der Orthodoxie sind besonders filioque und die päpstliche Unfehlbarkeit strittige Punkte, doch Koch zeigt sich zuversichtlich. Der Ukraine-Krieg erschwert die Gespräche, da russisch-orthodoxe Vertreter den Dialog teilweise verlassen haben. Die jüngste Papstreise habe im Libanon viel Hoffnung geweckt, berichtet Koch. Papst Leo XIV. habe mit seinen Ansprachen und Begegnungen den Menschen Mut für eine bessere Zukunft gemacht.

12/12/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Many of us ask ourselves: How can it be that our world is heading straight for disaster? The concepts of the “deep state,” globalists, technocrats, or simply the “swamp” don’t explain why so many people on our planet are completely indifferent to the direction it’s hurtling in. They are merely the architects and executors of a plan to seize global domination during the inevitable financial crisis fueled by mounting debt. We are still in the dark when it comes to understanding this meticulously crafted plan to destroy human civilization as we know it—a plan that is unfolding before our very eyes. Muhammad is the most popular name given to newborns in England. Of course, they exploit the fear, complacency, and selfishness of most of us. Psychological phenomena play a major role in this. An article by Simone Hörrlein, a German living in Canada, published on manova.news on Wednesday, sheds some light on the mechanisms used to change the world …

The Amsterdam Apparitions - Lady of All Nations - 1of2 Sacred Heart Publications The Apparitions of the Lady of All Nations was declared to be of supernatural origin on the 31st of May, 2002. In July 2005, The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith requested, "that the words who once was Mary be left out of the prayer of the Lady of All Nations out of consideration for those who do not understand this phrase." The ending of the prayer is now to say: “May the Lady of All Nations, the Blessed Virgin Mary, be our Advocate. These messages are filled with prophecies. youtube.com/watch?v=kmGrlgKBsHE

Analysis by the Mail on Sunday of publicly-available information shows one grant recipient was Professor Neil Ferguson, one of the biggest advocates for vaccines and whose advice to Prime Minister Boris Johnson led to the UK lockdown in March 2020, and who famously resigned as a government adviser two months later after it emerged he broke rules to meet his married lover. The above quote is from Saturday’s Daily Mail article: Scientists who advised government during Covid did not reveal they had received more than £200m in grants from one of the world’s biggest pharma investors. With each passing day, more and more details emerge about the elaborate, sophisticated plan imposed on the world in the guise of a pandemic crisis. Covert subsidies for “scientific” purposes—corrupt professors who laid the groundwork for a non-existent pandemic—have been exposed. So many people died from asymptomatic COVID! We …
'Europe must prepare': Minister warns Britain is on a war footing as Nato chief says conflict with Russia 'at our door' Britain was told to prepare for armed conflict with Russia last night. Armed Forces minister Al Carns said the country was on a 'war footing' and warned that the 'shadow of war was at Europe's door'. His chilling message came as Mark Rutte, secretary general of the Nato alliance, said its members, including Britain, must prepare 'for the scale of conflict our grandparents and great grandparents endured'. But, amid the terrifying warnings, there were questions for the Government over defence spending. In Berlin, Mr Rutte predicted that Europe is Vladimir Putin's 'next target', adding: 'We are already in harm's way'. His frightening reference to the two world wars experienced by previous generations came as Mr Carns, a former Royal Marines officer, said the UK had experienced a 50 per cent increase in Russian threats and attacks in the last year. While the total number …
If they would only stop provoking Russia. Putin has said over and over again. We do not want war with anyone. He has said this repeatedly. UK admits sending paratroopers to Ukraine If he did, there already would have been a war. And not just liberating a few sections in Ukraine who voted to become part of Russia. UK by now would be pretty much destroyed by now. Along with Brussels and a few other places. They have what it will take already. But they just keep dealing with the psycho's in Europe and the US instead. Anyone remember all the times Russia destroyed Officers and officials of nato while they were plotting and planning how to destroy Russia? I guess they don't know what they are doing. But Russia is getting a lot of experience from learning from their mistakes. While everyone who is attacking Russia one way or another and they have no idea what they are doing. Losing everything in the process.
Bishop Schneider promotes and celebrates the Mass in the Roman Rite, yet it is rarely celeberated in Kazakhstan, he told Adrian Milag in an online interview. Main points, video sequence below. - We have no altar girls in all Kazakhstan. It is banned. No women, no altar girls. - We have no Eucharistic ministers at all. - The only ordinary form to receive Holy Communion is kneeling and on the tongue, with the paten. There is no other possibility except for the sick. - Thanks be to God, our liturgies are very worthy… even in the Novus Ordo. - The people are pious and devoted. They don’t know the Latin Mass and some don’t even feel the necessity. If there would be a greater movement, it would be possible also. But until now we have not these considerable groups. - I celebrate in my private episcopal chapel the traditional Latin Mass and when I am teaching in the seminary, I also celebrate for the seminarians. - True ecumenism is that non-Catholics come back to the Church and embrace all …More
The way to interpret this is that Bishop Schneider believes that a reverent novus ordo is good enough for the faithful. Not good for his traditionalist credentials.
Bishop Schneider and Archbishop Vigano are among the few truly Catholic members of the hierarchy left in the Catholic Church. May Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces and Co-Redemptrix, continue to protect and keep them under Her Sacred Mantle.
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
