The Church Makes Itself Irrelevant by Imitating the World - Bishop Varden

Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim told AcePrensa.com on December 9 that we are already living in a post-secular age, something especially evident in northern Europe.
He said that people are turning to Catholicism "because it is true", as many grow disillusioned with other options. "With so much collapse — of old certainties and institutions — and the fragility of our political, cultural, ecological and financial lives, people are looking for parameters that promise to withstand the flood."
Regarding the increase in attendance at Mass in the Roman rite, Bishop Varden noted that this is happening "in some places, not everywhere". It is linked to a search for beauty, which the Church can offer.
He urged simply celebrating the liturgy well and follow the rubrics: "Do the red and say the black."
Referring to the Chartres pilgrimage over Pentecost, he observed that the young participants were impossible to categorise, ranging from people who attend charismatic services to those who attend the …More

Boston-Area Pastor REFUSES to Remove Anti-ICE Nativity Scene at the Request of the Archbishop

The pastor of a Catholic parish near Boston says an anti-immigration-enforcement display in its Nativity scene will stay up at least for the time being, and he is asking for a meeting with the archbishop.
The announcement Monday night — more than three days after the Archdiocese of Boston said the display should be removed — leaves the parish and Archbishop Richard Henning of Boston at an impasse.
“We are waiting for an opportunity of dialogue and clarity with [Arch]bishop Henning before reaching any final decisions,” Father Stephen Josoma said, according to a
video of a press conference published by MassLive.com.
The display, put up Nov. 29 outside St. Susanna Church in Dedham, Massachusetts, includes a large sign saying “ICE Was Here” and another sign explaining that the absent figures of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are safe inside the church building. The display also includes a telephone number to report the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs agents to an organization that …

American talk show host Glenn Beck wants to prevent Sask. woman from turning to MAID

American conservative host says he will pay to help Saskatchewan woman Jolene Van Alstine find a specialist in the USA for parathyroid condition.
REGINA - A Regina woman whose fruitless attempts to secure a surgeon for parathyroid disease have led her to schedule a MAID-assisted death for January, may end up having her health issues resolved thanks to an unexpected source.
American conservative talk show host Glenn Beck has said he will pick up the tab so that Jolene Van Alstine can receive treatment in the USA for a rare parathyroid disease.
“If there is any surgeon in America who can do this, I’ll pay for this patient to come down here for treatment,” Beck posted on the X platform on Dec. 9. He also had harsh words about Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying regime in place.
“THIS is the reality of ‘compassionate’ progressive healthcare. Canada must END this insanity and Americans can NEVER let it spread here.”
Beck later posted an update saying they had received emails from surgeons …

This only demonstrates that Canadian society is sicker than this woman. Since the politicians of Canada have permitted this psychotic ritual, exactly which of these two should be offered MAiD first?! May God save Canadians from such tyranny.

Pope Leo XIV published today an Apostolic Letter on archaeology. Marking 100 years since the founding of the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology, he described the discipline as “indispensable for understanding Christianity”: “Revelation is always history. If this is so, then understanding Revelation requires an adequate knowledge of the historical, cultural and material contexts in which it took place,” he wrote. The Pontifical Institute, founded in 1925, is led by German priest Stefan Heid. He is world-famous for his research showing that the early Church celebrated Holy Mass ad orientem.

Leone XIV firma una lettera apostolica per scavare nelle radici della fede

Questa mattina è stata pubblicata una Lettera Apostolica di Papa Leone XIV dedicata all’importanza dell’archeologia cristiana nel cammino della Chiesa contemporanea. Il testo prende spunto dal centenario del Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana e lo collega al nuovo Anno Giubilare, ricordando che nel 1925, anno di fondazione dell’Istituto, Pio XI aveva indetto il “Giubileo della pace” per lenire le ferite della Prima guerra mondiale. Fin dalle prime righe della pagina iniziale il Papa spiega che la memoria del passato, «illuminata dalla fede e purificata dalla carità», è per la Chiesa «nutrimento della speranza», e che l’archeologia rientra pienamente in questo servizio alla memoria credente.
La “casa dell’archeologia”: come nasce il Pontificio Istituto
Per comprendere la portata della lettera, il Papa torna alla storia del Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana (PIAC), che definisce «la casa dell’archeologia». L’Istituto nasce l’11 dicembre 1925 con il motu …

Pope to Pontifical Institute of Archaeology: “By concentrating on the physical traces of faith, archeology educates us in a theology of the senses: a theology that knows how to see, touch, smell and listen. Christian archeology is a school of the senses. By examining stones, ruins and other artifacts, it teaches us that nothing touched by faith is insignificant.

Making a Killing: All Canadians must watch this documentary

A new documentary "Making a Killing" and subtitled, "Reconciliation, Genocide, and Plunder in Canada" is a must see for all Canadians. It's a must see for others around the world to learn just how a government, the MSM and activists can push a story of genocide all based on lies. The documentary is presented by the ONEBC Party.
"Making a Killing" is a "feature documentary film exposing the massive scandal behind the taking of wealth, land, and power from the Canadian public to benefit indigenous tribes. It debunks the worst lie in Canadian history: the lie that 215 bodies were found at the Kamloops Residential School and that Canadians committed a mass murder against indigenous children. "Making a Killing" is the first documentary film produced by an elected caucus."
One priority of the OneBC Party is to "Bring capital investment and local opportunities back to BC by removing UNDRIP and all band veto powers from British Columbia." UNDRIP is the United Nations Declaration on the Rights …

A blasphemous exhibition mocking Christianity has opened at the Kunstlerhaus Museum for Christmas

Bishop and Church Representatives Praise Blasphemous Exhibition in Vienna

The museum Künstlerhaus in Vienna, Austria, is presenting an exhibition titled “You Shall Make Yourself an Image.” It opened in late October 2025 and runs through 8 February 2026.
The exhibition features about 40 provocateurs (“artists”) mocking Christian imagery.
Catholic organizations and online petitions describe the exhibit as “blasphemous,” “insulting,” and as mocking key Christian symbols such as the crucifixion and imagery of the Virgin Mary.
Works criticized include:
- A wolf dressed in liturgical garments
- A crucified frog
- Portrayals of Mary as a trans woman or other provocative reinterpretations
The Austrian right-wing party FPÖ (Austrian Freedom Party) condemned the exhibition as “a scandalous mockery of Christianity” and demanded that it be shut down, especially since it runs during Advent and Christmas and receives public funding.
On Monday, a group of Catholics gathered outside the museum to protest the exhibition, including an act of penance prayer.
However, …More
