Virgen de Zapopan - January 18th, 2026 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 03:48 The Imitation of Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree

Benedict XVI warned Cardinal Marx in 2021 that Germany's Synodal Way “will do harm and end badly if it is not stopped.” Marx apparently ignored the warning.
(Feast of St. Marcellus I, Pope and Martyr – January 16) Brothers and Sisters, There is a kind of suffering that comes from the world, and we expect it. The world has always resisted the light. But there is another kind of suffering – sharper, quieter, and harder to bear – when the wound comes from within, when rejection comes not from strangers, but from one’s own. Holy Scripture says of Our Lord: “He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). And on this day, January 16, the traditional calendar places before us a Pope – St. Marcellus I – whose witness is marked by that same sorrowful pattern: not merely opposed by the enemies of the Church, but resisted amid turmoil and rebellion within the household of faith. So the title today is simple. And heavy. Exiled by his own. Pause for a moment and let that phrase do its work. Because it is not only history. It is a pattern. It is a temptation. It is a warning. And it is also – mysteriously – a path that God has …More
Florida Man’s Split-Second Decision Saves Two Toddlers Caught in Traffic | Shalom World News A routine drive turned into a life-saving moment when a Florida man jumped out of his car to rescue two toddlers who had wandered into the middle of a busy road in Brevard County, narrowly escaping tragedy. The incident unfolded when the two young children, who had slipped unnoticed out of a backyard, began walking into traffic as vehicles approached from both directions. Drivers slowed in confusion, but the danger remained immediate and severe. John Brittingham, a father of five and a grandfather, was driving nearby when he spotted the toddlers standing alone in the roadway. Without hesitation, he stopped his vehicle, jumped out, and ran toward the children, guiding them safely out of harm’s way just moments before a potential collision. “I was terrified,” Brittingham later said. “If anything would’ve happened to them, my whole life would have been ruined.” Brittingham downplayed his actions …More
Sat Jan 17, 2026 - 11:47 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — As Pope Leo XIV meets with his Apostolic Nuncio for Germany, Monsignor Nikola Eterovic, on Saturday, the very real possibility of schism with the Catholic Church in Germany looms. “It’s alleged the German Church wants to put the German laity on the same level as the bishops and also let them control the cash,” according to a report in the Italian language publication Il Giornale by Nico Spuntoni. Spuntoni explains: This is a project, already approved by the powerful Central Committee of German Catholics, that will create a permanent body in which laypeople will be on an equal footing with bishops. This Synodal Conference will have decision-making power and be able to introduce changes to doctrine by majority vote, forcing those who disagree to provide a public justification. In addition, the Conference will take control of the financial resources of the extremely wealthy German Church. The Holy See’s concern over what many interpret …
Disobedience to God's Laws, True Teachings of the Catholic and Apostolic Church, the Gospel and God's Will, will end you up in Hell. Reminder, this life is short so choose the Right Way to go to Heaven. Suffer a short time here or for eternity; the narrow way or the wide way!
Leo XIV’s consistory in January did not involve a general debate, Cardinal Raymond Burke told Edward Pentin for his Substack.com-account on 16 January. The consistory adopted a format closer to Francis’s synods, with discussion confined almost entirely to small groups:"All the discussion took place in the small group, and then in the general session there was simply a report from the secretaries." Divide and Conquer Burke added that the way the consistory was structured did not allow for so-called free interventions. The two plenary sessions permitted only brief interventions: "Each intervention was limited to three minutes, so just 15 cardinals could speak in one session." With more than 160 cardinals present, many were left unheard. In the small groups, "the topics were assigned, and then there was a whole structure that had to be followed at the tables". Every Pope Appoints the Bishops He Wants Beyond the consistory itself, Cardinal Burke expressed concerns about the Pope’s many …More
PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY JUST SAID IT OUT LOUD “I believe the progress that we have made and the partnership (with China) sets us up well for the New… World… Order.” Not rushed. Not off the cuff. He pauses between every word - New… World… Order - like he wants it to land. This wasn’t code. This wasn’t a slip. This was said out loud, on camera, deliberately.
Zerrt sie ins Scheinwerferlicht, damit jeder sie sehen kann! Die US-Einwanderungsbehörde ICE veröffentlicht jetzt Fotos der gefährlichsten kriminellen illegalen Einwanderer im sogenannten Schutzgebiet Minnesota. Das sind die Verbrecher, die die Linken seit Jahren beschützen und verhätscheln und weswegen gerade die gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen gegen ICE stattfinden. "In einer Pressemitteilung vom 14. Januar gab die US-Einwanderungsbehörde ICE bekannt, dass Operationen in Minnesota zur Festnahme mehrerer krimineller, illegal eingereister Ausländer geführt haben, die mutmaßlich „Gangmitglieder sind … viele von ihnen wegen Gewaltverbrechen verurteilt wurden“. Die Behörde betonte, dass diese Kriminellen zu denjenigen gehörten, die von Politikern wie Tim Walz und Jacob Frey, die sich für sogenannte Sanctuary-Programme einsetzen, geschützt würden. „Dies sind die schlimmsten kriminellen, illegal eingereisten Ausländer, gegen die ICE vorgeht“, heißt es in der Pressemitteilung. „Und genau …More
Das US-Justizministerium hat Ermittlungen gegen Beamte des Bundesstaates Minnesota, darunter Gouverneur Tim Walz und Bürgermeister Jacob Frey, wegen des Verdachts der Verschwörung zur Behinderung der bundesstaatlichen Einwanderungsbehörde eingeleitet. Im Mittelpunkt der Ermittlungen steht 18 U.S.C. § 372, ein Bundesgesetz, das Verschwörungen zur Behinderung von Bundesbeamten bei der Ausübung ihrer Pflichten durch „Gewalt, Einschüchterung oder Drohungen“ unter Strafe stellt, so ein US-Beamter. Ein weiterer Beamter erklärte, die Ermittlungen seien durch öffentliche Äußerungen von Walz und Frey zur kürzlich erfolgten Entsendung Tausender Beamter der Einwanderungs- und Zollbehörde (ICE) und der Grenzschutzbehörde (Border Patrol) in den Großraum Minneapolis ausgelöst worden. Fast 3.000 Bundesbeamte der Einwanderungsbehörde wurden im Rahmen einer großangelegten Operation zur Bekämpfung illegaler Einwanderung und mutmaßlichen Betrugs in Minnesota nach Minneapolis entsandt. Das Ministerium …More
Rome Seals Jubilee; Hope Endures Beyond Doors | Shalom World News As the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope has come to a close on 6 January 2026, a solemn ceremony took place on Tuesday night, January 13, as the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore was sealed in a ceremonial rite led by Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, with Monsignor Ľubomír Welnitz and Fr Diego Giovanni Ravelli in attendance.

An independent investigation has documented decades of spiritual abuse, psychological control, and systemic governance failures within the Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre. The contemplative community is based at the Sacré-Cœur of Paris, France. Background and timeline The congregation, founded in the late 19th century in connection with the national vow and devotion to the Sacred Heart, is dedicated to liturgical prayer, perpetual adoration, and the reception of pilgrims at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica.

These “independent commissions” do not understand the meaning of suffering, sacrifice, and self-denial, and call all of this “abuse of power.” It is entirely in line with the post-conciliar church, which is trying to eliminate the cross from Christ's message.
The Lie: Carnal Desire & Pleasure Are "Beautiful Natural Gifts of GOD, Implanted in Human Nature From Creation" Hear me, brethren, and tremble! Do not be deceived by what the world calls natural! Do not be seduced by what men call a blessing! The measure of true humanity is Christ the Lord! The standard of human life is the Blessed Virgin, preserved from all stain from the first instant of her conception! He took flesh—yet no concupiscence stirred in Him! She bore Him—yet no wound of desire touched her womb or her heart! Behold, brethren! In the New Adam and the New Eve, we see what humanity was made to be: virginity, continence, and purity of body and soul—this is the natural state of man! Not concupiscence! Not carnal pleasure! Christ reveals it by nature assumed; the Virgin confirms it by grace preserved. Carnal desire is not a natural gift from the Creator, but a consequence of fallen nature. Carnal pleasure is not a blessing of God! They are the wound of the Fall, a rebellion of …More
