SUMMA Contra Gender Equality On Whether Modern Gender Equality Is According to Divine and Natural Order According to Jewish and Christian Tradition QUESTION I Whether gender hierarchy belongs to the order of creation according to the Law Article 1. Whether Sacred Scripture teaches equality of role between man and woman Objections It seems that man and woman are equal in role, since both are created in the image of God (Gen 1:27). Further, subjection appears to be a result of sin (Gen 3:16), not creation. Further, Jewish law emphasizes justice, which seems to imply equality of authority. Sed Contra Scripture states: “The LORD God said: It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him” (Gen 2:18). Rabbinic tradition teaches: “The man is commanded, the woman assists” (Yevamot 65b). St. Paul affirms the same order: “For man was not made from woman, but woman from man” (1 Cor 11:8). Respondeo Sacred Scripture and Jewish tradition unanimously affirm …More

The Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, Fr Davide Pagliarani, spoke on December 13 in Friedrichshafen, Germany, about the future of the Fraternity. Main quotes, video sequence below. - The question of future bishops' consecrations is the million-dollar question. - I am not here to give dates or names. - Does a state of necessity exist in the Church today, as it did in 1988 when Marcel Lefebvre consecrated four bishops? This state of necessity is more clearly recognisable today than in 1988. - After the pontificate of Pope Francis, we find ourselves in an emergency situation. Although the Pope has passed away, his decisions remain epoch-making, problematic and far-reaching. This pontificate exemplifies the state of necessity within the Church from start to finish. - In ordinary parishes, the means for the salvation of souls are often lacking. The preaching of the truth and the administration of the sacraments are no longer guaranteed. - The consecration of bishops …More
A True Shepherd! How many of us are the True Hands, Feet and Mouth of Jesus Christ? It takes real Courage in this Time to Defend the Teachings of Our Blessed Lord.
God Is Born God is born, power’s freezing, Lord of Heaven is revealed. Fire clots, glow is ceasing, the Infinite is now sealed. Though despised – to glory fated, mortal King and First Principle, For the Word is incarnated and has dwelt among us, people. Hast thou Heaven more than Earth? God has left thy splendid favours and descended in His birth, keen to share our pains and labours. He was wounded and tormented for our sins, to heal the cripple, For the Word is incarnated and has dwelt among us, people. Raise your hand, Holy Child, Bless our cherished fatherland, and support it with your might in well being and prudent stand. Bless our home and goods related, hamlets and each city steeple, For the Word is incarnated and has dwelt among us, people.
Isaiah 62:1-5 “Nations shall behold your vindication, and all kings your glory.” This is the announcement of God’s coming to us. Acts 13:16-17, 22-25 John the Baptist said, “Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.” God keeps his sandals. Moses, the man, takes off his sandals before God. For that time, the message was a sign that it is God who is present. Matthew 1:1-25 The genealogy leading up to Jesus indicates that he is truly 100% Man while also being truly 100% God. He comes to bring joy to earth and into hearts.

For a third year in a row, Christmas is arriving in Gaza not with bells and lights but with silence and grief, as a battered community struggles to endure while clinging to hopes that the future will be brighter. Once a season of song and shared celebration in the Palestinian territory, the holiday has become another reminder of what the war has taken – lives, homes and any sense of safety. Yet many hope for a future in which the holiday can return to what it once was. Inside the few remaining churches in Gaza, where Israeli forces have killed more than 70,000 Palestinians since the Hamas attacks in October 2023, preparations are under way. Despite the ceasefire this year, traditional rituals are stripped down to their barest form: prayer, mass and quiet reflection, with no decorations and no outdoor ceremonies. For George Anton, director of operations for the Latin Patriarchate in Gaza, the decision is both painful and inevitable. “For the third consecutive year, Christmas arrives …

Leo XIV and a leadership beyond polarization - … When, yesterday morning, Leo XIV appeared at the entrance of the Hall of Benedictions, everyone noticed his usual cheerful and serene expression, and that boisterous laugh exchanged with his collaborators: a detail that, even before any words were spoken, helped ease the atmosphere among the curial officials. Prevost consistently comes across as a man of joy: smiling, luminous, inwardly free from that gloomy, guarded posture - almost permanently on alert - that in other times was mistaken for a mark of authority. His demeanor is not naïveté; it is a form of non-aggressive confidence, capable of putting others at ease without lowering, by even a millimeter, the measure of his role. Yes, Leo XIV ascends the throne prepared by ceremonial protocol. But he inhabits it in an unusual way: with the posture of someone who draws near, not of one who places himself above in order to preside from a distance. This is the subtle yet decisive …More
23.12.2025 CATHOLICS MUST CHOOSE VATICAN COUNCL II BLUE LIKE THE ST. BENEDICT CENTER IN NH AND NOT VATICAN COUNCIL II RED LIKE THE SSPX. There is a major shift in theology in the Catholic Church. Rahner, Ratzinger and Balthazar are contradicted by Vatican Council II blue. The traditionalist at the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire are now the mainstream Catholic Church, with Vatican Council II and EENS, only blue. Why should we as Catholics interpret Vatican Council II with the red and not Vatican Council II blue like the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire? The traditionalists at the St. Benedict Center in the diocese of Manchester now have the mainline theology with the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms, blue. Cardinal Muller, Balthazar, Ratzinger, Bishop Barron and Larry Chapp with Vatican II, red are schismatic and obsolete. There can only be a lex orandi with Vatican Council II blue. We can now interpret Vatican Council II rationally like the SBC or irrationally like …More
