Bishop Strickland stands up in USCCB (November 12) and urges bishops to respond to Fr James Martin overseeing the confirmation & reception of Holy Communion by a 'married' gay man: "We need to address this". There was no response from the panel/chair.
Leo XIV Appoints Bishops Serving the World and Naturalism: Answering questions for the Confraternity of Fatima on 13 November, Bishop Athanasius Schneider commented on the direction of Leo XIV’s pontificate: 'We cannot simply bury our heads in the sand and pretend we don't see it. The relativisation of religion and the uniqueness of Our Lord Jesus Christ was evident in the celebration of Nostra Aetate. There was the silent collaboration with homosexual propaganda in the Basilica of St Peter. And then there are the appointments of candidates for the episcopacy who are openly promoting this worldly and naturalistic agenda against God’s commandments. So, our answer is to increase our prayers for Pope Leo ever more."
Question to Bishop Schneider: Would it be fair to say that we are now past the initial wait and that we can now see the direction the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV will take, especially in light of the signing of the note against Coredemptrix/Mediatrix, the involvement in the Nostre Atate celebrations, the silence regarding the invasion of Saint Peter's by the homosexual ideological revolutionaries and the desecration of the Holy Door, as well as many recent episcopal appointments?
1 M 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-64 "In those days there appeared in Israel transgressors of the law who seduced many, saying: “Let us go and make a covenant with the Gentiles all around us.'" Oh, to stray from the Love of God leads to evil. Letting oneself be Loved by God distances oneself from evil. Lk 18:35-43 "He follows Jesus, giving glory to God." The man who has regained his sight and of whom Jesus says, "Your faith has saved you," discovers the joy and peace of God within himself. By remaining with the Lord, in His Love, he can give glory to God throughout his existence. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Ml 3:19-20a “For you who fear my name, the sun of justice will arise with healing in its wings.” The word “fear” means you who welcome me. 2 Th 3:7-12 “Work quietly.” “Let them work in peace.” By being at peace with the Lord, work becomes leisure. Lk 21:5-19 Jesus declares to them: “The days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Here too, Jesus leads us to the realities of heaven. The earth, that of which is earthly, existence will pass away, but the Love of God, the only Word of God, remains. God's love is; we can’t take nothing away from it, and add nothing to it. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

In this episode of Catechism for Kids, we’ll explore the life of Saint Gertrude the Great, a brilliant German nun, writer, and mystic whose feast day is November 16. Born in 1256, Saint Gertrude loved prayer, learning, and especially Jesus’ Sacred Heart. She had powerful visions that helped her understand God’s love more deeply. She also prayed every day for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, which is why many Catholics pray her famous prayer for the souls who are waiting to enter Heaven. Saint Gertrude teaches us that even quiet moments of prayer can fill the world with peace, mercy, and love.
