"But someone may prefer to regard the Divine Orders as pure and ineffable in their own natures, and beyond our power of vision, and may consider that the imagery of the Celestial Intelligences in the Scriptures does not really represent them, and is like a crude dramatization of the celestial names: and he may say that the theologians, in depicting wholly incorporeal natures under bodily forms should, as far as possible, make use of fitting and related images, and represent them by the most exalted, incorporeal and spiritual substances amongst ourselves, and should not endue the Celestial and Godlike Principles with a multitude of low and earthly forms."
[Dionysius the Areopagite – I Century AD; Hieromartyr and Bishop of Athens; Converted by St. Paul] “Chapter II That Divine and Celestial matters are fittingly revealed even through unlike symbols. I consider, then, that in the first place we must explain our conception of the purpose of each Hierarchy and the good conferred by each upon its followers; secondly we must celebrate the Celestial Hierarchies as they are revealed in the Scriptures; and finally we must say under what holy figures the descriptions in the sacred writings portray those Celestial Orders, and to what kind of purity we ought to be guided through those forms lest we, like the many, should impiously suppose that those Celestial and Divine Intelligences are many-footed or many-faced beings, or formed with the brutishness of oxen, or the savageness of lions, or the curved beaks of eagles, or the feathers of birds, or should imagine that they are some kind of fiery wheels above the heavens, or material thrones upon which …More
27.11.2025 THE SYNOD STUDY GROUP REPORTS ARE OBSOLETE : THEY ARE BASED UPON VATICAN COUNCIL II INTERPRETED IRRATIONALLY The Italian Government and its ministries must switch to the Lionel Andrades (LA) interpretation of Vatican Council II. It is rational and ethical .The reports and conferences on Vatican Council II by Rai TV, TV 2000, daily Avvenire and Ill Messaggero, are all with the fake premise. What is invisible (LG 14, 16) is confused as being visible exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.With the L.A interpretation of Vatican Council II the Council is in harmony with all the catechisms. There is no rupture with the dogma EENS and the Athanasius Creed. There is only one - and not two interpretations of the Nicene and Apostles Creed. The Church returns to the faith and morals of the Syllabus of Pope Pius IX. The tilt is toward Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston and not Richard Cushing, the archbishop in 1949. The L.A interpretation of Vatican Council II emerged with an …More

Spain’s 2025 report ("Informe España 2025") identifies a rapid and generational third wave of secularization. The share of people with no religion has risen to 40% of the population and 60% among young adults, tripling levels from 2000. Practicing Catholics remain at 15–20%, while religious rites continue to collapse: Church marriages have dropped from 76% in 2000 to 19% in 2022. Trust in the Church has also declined, falling from 41.7% in 1999 to 32.8% in 2017. At the same time, Spain’s religious map is becoming more plural, with minorities representing around 10% of the population, including 2.2 million Muslims and 1.5 million Protestants and Orthodox Christians.
España afronta su “tercera gran oleada de secularización”: el 60% de los jóvenes se declara sin religión
(Comillas).- La Cátedra José María Martín Patino de la Cultura del Encuentro de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas, con el apoyo y la colaboración de la Fundación Ramón Areces, ha presentado el Informe España 2025, un análisis exhaustivo que radiografía las transformaciones sociales, económicas y culturales más relevantes del país en los últimos 40 años. Este año, “el análisis se focaliza en temas que ilustran claramente el cambio de época en el que estamos inmersas todas las sociedades, pero particularmente las europeas y la española”, revela Agustín Blanco, director de la Cátedra y coordinador del Informe España. De entre los asuntos que aborda el informe de este año, elaborados por autores procedentes de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas y de otras universidades, destacan tres que se refieren a cuestiones económicas. El primero, a la vivienda y la juventud: el informe resalta que la edad media de emancipación de la “generación inquilina” como la denomina el informe, …
New men were bred with brand new fiber, Potomac made it to the Rhine, pushing it down into the Tiber, the Sun went black and ceased to shine...
Song of False Freedom There was the Mass of de Mendoza, New Orleans, Frisco by the sea, but on the dies lacrimosa you gave your freedom for your liberty. Yes, there were Huns and even worse, you made pacts, you waged wars with them, who did you fight for, what did you die for: the City of God or the waste of men? New men were bred with brand new fiber, Potomac made it to the Rhine, pushing it down into the Tiber, the Sun went black and ceased to shine. Many got blind and could not see, elders told fables to the youth... Now ruin is at hand, it's time to make a stand, not for the ghost of democracy but for the Spirit of Truth. notes: de Mendoza - cf. the Mass in San Agustin (St. Augustine), Florida celebrated on Sept 8, 1565 by Fr. de Mendoza, one of first Catholic Masses in North America: TIA Catholic Thanksgiving Greeting 2025 New Orleans - cf.

At today's press conference, Tucho was asked if his document on monogamy also applies to two homosexuals in a stable relationship. He replied that the Church considers marriage to be an exclusive union between a man and a woman. But: "That does not mean that there are no values in other contexts and that what we say here cannot also apply to other forms of unions. When we talk about patience, respect, etc., that also applies to relationships between friends and other forms of relationship."
“Eminenza, vorrei sapere: questo documento, per persone dello stesso sesso che vivono unioni di monogamia… Sono esclusi da Una carne?” Tucho: “Quello non vuol dire che in altri contesti non ci siano dei valori, no? E che quello che diciamo qua non possa servire anche ad altre forme di unioni. Quando si parla della pazienza, del rispetto, eccetera eccetera, quello vale anche per un rapporto tra amici, vale per altre forme di rapporto.”
“The reason the Church’s leaders persecute the most faithful Catholics is that, broadly speaking, the leadership of the Catholic Church on earth at this time is dominated by a network of active homosexuals and theological modernists”, philosopher Peter Kwasniewski wrote on his Substack.com-account TraditionSanity.com on November 20. He added that they in the network rely on one another’s support: “We all know individual good bishops or cardinals but such exceptions are a controlled opposition, with very limited mobility.” Kwasniewski explains that their “religion” is one of self-actualization and self-regard: “Theirs is the fashionable subjectivism and flexible relativism of the postmodern West, where ‘anything goes’ - except, of course, traditional faith and morals, for this faith and these morals would eliminate them ...” The more fruitful the Mass in the Roman rite is, the more furious they will be: “It’s precisely because of this fruitfulness, not in spite of it, that its …More
“I will not go against my conscience…” Educator Enoch Burke has been arrested again and sent back to prison for refusing to call a male student ‘They’. He has already spent over 500 days in prison.
On 25 November, InfoVaticana.com released an audio recording related to alleged money laundering involving the Vatican, the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae (Sodalicio) and an ongoing FBI investigation. In the recording, Monsignor Jordi Bertomeu — an official of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, as well as the Vatican’s commissioner overseeing the suppression of the Sodalicio — admits that the Holy See was aware of the FBI's investigation into the suspected money laundering. The audio captures a conversation between Msgr. Bertomeu and a Sodalicio representative in which they discuss strategies to 'avoid scandal' and reduce the impact of the case in Peru and the US. According to InfoVaticana, the actions described by Monsignor Bertomeu could constitute obstruction of justice under US federal law. In the recording, he suggests informing the FBI that the Church has already 'cleaned up' the situation by recovering assets and severing ties with the Sodalicio. This an approach should …More
Stand Firm When Persecution Tests Your Fidelity The gospel reading warns of persecution for believers, a reality seen throughout history and in modern times. While the form of persecution is uncertain, the key is to remain faithful to God, even in the face of death, as the example of martyrs can be more powerful than words. The collective charity and faithfulness of Christians ultimately bring an end to persecution, as seen in historical examples like the Carmelite nuns in France. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments. Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.
Dan 7:2-14 The choice is simple. When we move forward in good, evil is in the rearview mirror. Luke 21:29-33 Jesus said: "Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near." What a beautiful image of the joy of God that is in our hearts. The joy of the Heart of God within us radiates (budding), and it offers radiant flowers to each person on our path. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
