Bishop Erik Varden: chastity is integrity, "to harmonize my carnal desires towards life in Christ" Convert of Lutheranism and Norwegian traps, one of his last books is about the virtue of chastity. Monsignor Erik Varden, OCS [Cistercian Order of the Cistercian Order of the Stense Of Observance] is bishop of Trondheim, Norway. Baptized in the Lutheran Church, which in Norway was the official Church until 2012, I grew up in a family without a very explicit Christian practice. My religious search began at the age of 14 or 15, caused by an inner thirst, fueled by literature and music. I was 17 years old when I first visited a monastery, a little by chance. Monastic life scared me a little because of its radicalism; at the same time, it fascinated me deeply. During my first year in Cambridge, a Marist priest, professor of Irish history, accompanied my conversion to Catholicism: we read together all the documents of the Second Vatican Council, an excellent preparation. I stayed at the university …More
Police suspect Croatian nun injured herself: Croatian police believe that a Zagreb nun, Sister Marija Tatjana Zrno, 35, injured herself and falsely reported an attack. After a four-day investigation, police announced they will file a criminal complaint against the nun for falsely reporting a crime. Sister Zrno had claimed an unknown perpetrator stabbed her in the Malešnica neighborhood on November 28, after which she was treated for non-life-threatening abdominal injuries at the Sisters of Charity Hospital. Police say their investigation confirmed she bought the knife herself at a store in Zagreb and inflicted the wound on her own. She was discharged from the hospital on December 1. Police also refuted media claims that the attacker was a migrant who shouted “Allahu Akbar,” stating these reports were false.

“I consider Pope Benedict’s wise regulation to be the right path — and this path should be continued without burdens, without restrictions,” Gänswein said. He added that he hopes Pope Leo XIV will “continue the pacification of this thorny issue”
Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Apostolic Nuncio to the Baltic States, has renewed his call for a peaceful approach to the Roman Rite. In a press release, the Swiss broadcaster K-TV announced that the full interview will air on Sunday. In it, Archbishop Gänswein comments on Pope Francis’ 2021 motu proprio Traditionis custodes. He argued that the Church should once again consider the pastoral approach adopted by Pope Benedict XVI in 'Summorum Pontificum': "I consider Pope Benedict’s wise regulation to be the right path — and this path should be continued without burdens or restrictions," said Monsignor Gänswein. He added that he hopes Pope Francis will continue the pacification of this thorny issue. Archbishop Gänswein also expressed his personal desire to see a formal beatification process opened for the late Pope Benedict XVI. #newsNyyjolwslt
Campisi is no longer assessor for general affairs because Pope Leo appointed him on Sept. 27 as the Holy See’s permanent observer to UNESCO—an appointment considered unusually low-ranking for someone in that role, since his predecessors for the last 55 years were made bishops and nuncios after leaving the post. The assets of the donations commission will be absorbed by the Holy See, with its liquidation overseen by Archbishop Giordano Piccinotti, head of APSA, the Vatican’s sovereign wealth and reserve management body. The commission’s suppression marks yet another reversal of decisions previously made under Pope Francis.
The Vatican’s study commission on women deacons concluded that, based on current historical and theological evidence, the Church should not move forward with ordaining women to the diaconate, though the matter cannot yet be definitively settled. Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi’s report noted that while women were called deaconesses in various periods of Church history, their role did not correspond to the sacramental diaconate. The commission stated that the issue ultimately requires doctrinal discernment, not just historical analysis. Although divided on key theological points, members agreed that women’s access to new non-ordained ministries should be expanded.
The Vatican on Thursday published the conclusions of its study commission on women deacons. The Commission rules out admitting women to the diaconate understood as a degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders, but without issuing a definitive judgment at this time. The report stresses repeatedly that the negative assessment is “strong” yet “does not permit formulating a definitive judgment,” unlike the case of priestly ordination. Submission of the Report to Pope Leo XIV On 18 September, Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi, President of the Study Commission on the Female Diaconate, submitted to Pope Leo XIV a detailed synthesis of the Commission’s work. The report reflects several years of historical, theological, and pastoral investigation. Historical Findings: A Non-Sacramental Ancient Practice The Commission revisited the findings of two earlier Vatican commissions. Historical research confirms that, in the early Church, the title deaconess appeared in different regions and periods, but with …More
The push for women deacons will undoubtedly persist, even in the face of negative pronouncements from Rome. In an August '25 article, Dr. Monica Miller lays out why the Church—from Scripture, the early Church, and every pope who’s weighed in—has always said no. Solid, readable, and unapologetic. Women Deacons? Here’s Why Not
Hell is real, and when the temptations of sin prove to be more forceful than our love for God, a salutary fear can help us stay on the straight road to life.
There never were female deacons, even though some women did help out in some ways over 1500 years ago. But then, there also were never any female acolytes or lectors. See, it is a brand-new religion that is devil made.
State Tribunal. Warszawa. Gmach Sądów – Google Maps The Polish Supreme Court issued a groundbreaking ruling today that no court or public authority can challenge a ruling from the Supreme Court, including the European Union. The ruling marks a significant moment in the battle for legal sovereignty in Poland. “No court or other public authority is authorized to declare a Supreme Court ruling null and void and disregard its effects. Even if this were to be done by invoking European Union law,” reads the new decision from the Supreme Court. The ruling came during a joint chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs and of Labor and Social Security. The ruling is a direct response to the September resolution by seven judges of the Labor and Social Security Chamber, which questioned the legality of the entire Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs. These judges, citing rulings of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), found …

Because the current apostasy deserves a prophetic and biblical explanation. And I believe John Henry Westen, quite rightly, is trying to find the reason why we have two apostates usurping the Chair of Peter, who are dragging souls to hell with their open promotion of sodomy.
Apostate Prevost attacks the kingship of Christ and denies the Holy Trinity The apostate Robert Prevost demonstrates once again that he does not profess the Catholic faith by claiming that Christians and Muslims worship the same God in an act of interreligious apostasy. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) "It is absurd for a heretic to say that he believes in Jesus Christ. To believe in a person is to give our full consent to his word and to all he teaches. True faith, therefore, is absolute belief in Jesus Christ and in all He taught. Hence, he who does not adhere to everything Jesus Christ has prescribed for our salvation does not have any more of the Doctrine of Jesus Christ than the pagans, Jews and Mohammedans."
Leo Claims Christians and Muslims Worship Same God at Interfaith Spectacle
The descriptions " worm-ridden" and "cesspools of impurity" fit them as the members of this counterfeit church of satan prove again and again that they are enemies of the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC Church which is THE ONLY TRUE CHURCH which was instituted by JESUS CHRIST.
Prevost is not only a heretic, he is an apostate. The false god Allah contradicts Yahweh. And the counterfeit Abraham of the Quran is Islamic, not Jewish. We Catholics profess that God is Triune, and Islam denies the Holy Trinity.

“Our Lady is not Co-Redemptrix” - Brazil Archbishop: "We don’t need to say that Mary is co-Redemptrix, that Jesus needs Mary to save humanity. Mary herself is prepared, saved by God; she is a creature of God. She makes herself the servant of her own son, but she is not co-redemptrix", Archbishop Juárez Marqués of Teresina, Brazil, said on November 27 in an interview with the local TV Jornal TV Cidade Verde.
“Não precisamos dizer que Maria é corredentora, que Jesus precisa de Maria para salvar a humanidade. Maria mesma, ela é preparada, salva por Deus, é a criatura de Deus. Se faz serva do seu próprio filho, mas não é corredentora, agora ela é intercessora nossa”, disse o arcebispo de Teresina (PI), dom Juarez Marques ontem (27), em uma entrevista ao Jornal TV Cidade Verde.
