Louis Bouffard on the euthanasia law: "My life is worth living, even if it is fragile" Completely dependent and on life support, Louis loudly asserts that his life has meaning, value, and deserves to be lived to the fullest. He reflects with emotion on the loss of his mother, on the power of bonds, even at the end of life, and on what he himself calls: the beauty of fragility. But behind the parliamentary debates, he denounces a hidden social pressure that suggests to the most vulnerable that they are "too much." He warns: this vague and dangerous law already makes him eligible for assisted death, even though he wants to live. Louis reminds us that requesting death is not a choice, it is a cry for help. He speaks in schools, with young people, to change the way people view disability. And faced with a society that proposes death as the answer to suffering, he pleads for more listening, more support, more presence. "Even fragile, even dependent, I am fully alive. What I need isn't a lethal …More

Normally, I endorse everything Archbishop Vigano says but I'm having a problem with this message, specifically this: "receiving the Sacraments frequently, assisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." The Archbishop should realize that, although good advice, it isn't very easy to accomplish any more. Great numbers of Churches that were offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass have now discontinued it. I live in a fairly large city and there is only ONE "shrine" where one can attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the whole city. And it is in a high crime area. I don't feel safe going there. Many people must drive for many miles to find a Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and for many, this is prohibitive. Of course, this includes receiving the other Sacraments. True Catholics are like sheep without a shepherd and many feel alone and abandoned. The Archbishop needs to recognize this and not offer impractical advice.
1st book of Samuel 16,1-13. The LORD said to Samuel: "How long will you grieve for Saul, whom I have rejected as king of Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and be on your way. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have chosen my king from among his sons." But Samuel replied: "How can I go? Saul will hear of it and kill me." To this the LORD answered: "Take a heifer along and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.' Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I myself will tell you what to do; you are to anoint for me the one I point out to you." Samuel did as the LORD had commanded him. When he entered Bethlehem, the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and inquired, "Is your visit peaceful, O seer?" He replied: "Yes! I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. So cleanse yourselves and join me today for the banquet." He also had Jesse and his sons cleanse themselves and invited them to the sacrifice. As they came, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD'S anointed is here …More
Pope Leo XIV appointed today Coadjutor José Armando Álvarez Cano as Archbishop of Morelia, Mexico. Morelia is one of Mexico’s most important ecclesiastical jurisdictions. Álvarez was born in Jiquilpan, in the Diocese of Zamora, in January 1960. He was ordained a priest in 1986 for the Diocese of Zamora and holds a licentiate in pastoral theology. After serving in various parishes and spending two years as a missionary priest in Peru, he returned to Mexico as a parish priest and head of clergy formation in his diocese. He was appointed Bishop of the Territorial Prelature of Huautla in 2011 (10 parishes, 24 priests) by Benedict XVI and was ordained a bishop in January 2012. In 2019, he was transferred to become Bishop of Tampico (72 parishes, 147 priests). In January 2025, Pope Francis – with his Prefect Robert Prevost of the Congregation of Bishops – appointed him Coadjutor of Morelia (242 parishes, 455 priests).

Jan. 19 Saint Fabian. breski1 January 19, 2008 Saint Fabian Fabian was a Roman layman who came into the city from his farm one day as clergy and people were preparing to elect a new pope. Eusebius, a Church historian, says a dove flew in and settled on the head of Fabian. This sign united the votes of clergy and laity and he was chosen unanimously. He led the Church for 14 years and died a martyr’s death during the persecution of Decius in a.d. 250. St. Cyprian wrote to his successor that Fabian was an “incomparable” man whose glory in death matched the holiness and purity of his life. In the catacombs of St. Callistus, the stone that covered Fabian’s grave may still be seen, broken into four pieces, bearing the Greek words, “Fabian, bishop, martyr.”
“Homosexuality grows like monster in seminaries. Weed out homosexuals!”: Archbishop John Bonaventure Kwofie of Accra, Ghana, expressed concern about homosexuality within Catholic seminaries in West Africa. Speaking to rectors and formators on January 14, he said: “I am going to talk about one thing that is growing like a monster in the seminaries. Please do your best to weed out people of such orientation from our seminaries, because it is not only an abomination to the priestly attitude but also makes the gift of celibacy not worth living. It is homosexuality and gay culture.” The Archbishop quoted the Vatican document from 2005 stating that men who practice homosexuality and who present deep-seated homosexual tendencies cannot relate correctly to men and women and should not become priests.

JANUARY 20 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 2,23-28. As Jesus was passing through a field of grain on the sabbath, his disciples began to make a path while picking the heads of grain. At this the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?" He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry? How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the bread of offering that only the priests could lawfully eat, and shared it with his companions?" Then he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath."
ICE broke into Minnesota home, dragged barely clothed man into snow| Dawn News English SAINT PAUL, Minnesota, Jan 19 (Reuters) - A Minnesota man told Reuters on Monday he felt fear, shame and desperation a day after ICE officers broke down his door with guns drawn, handcuffed him and dragged him into the snow wearing shorts and Crocs. ChongLy Thao, 56, a naturalized U.S. citizen who goes by the name Scott, was returned home later on Sunday without explanation or apology, he said. "I was praying. I was like, God, please help me, I didn't do anything wrong. Why do they do this to me? Without my clothes on," Thao, a Hmong man born in Laos, told Reuters from his home on Monday, while neighbors were at work fixing the broken door. Pictures of the incident showing Thao barely clothed and covered in a blanket taken by a Reuters photographer and bystanders spread on social media, further fueling concern that federal law enforcement officers were exceeding their authority as part of U.S. …More
Pope Leo XIV appointed today 19 people as consultors of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue. The names are completely in line with Francis’ appointments. Examples: Emilce Cuda (Pontifical Commission for Latin America) In 2022, she criticized the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade (legal abortion in the USA), warning that many Catholics “confuse defense of life with defense of ideological positions.” She stressed that human dignity goes beyond abortion and euthanasia to include “‘in-between’ issues.” (NcrOnline.org) Mónica Santamarina (World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations) She advocates expanded roles for women in Church governance. In June 2023, Santamarina called for combating “clericalism” by increasing women’s presence in seminaries and Church leadership. She warned that after the Synod the Church could again "close its doors". Sister Mary Teresa Barron In October 2024, Synod delegate Sister Mary Teresa Barron said the question of women deacons should …More
Tolerating idol worship indicates that one either does not think the 1st commandment is important or it is a condescending pat on the head of the ignorant indigenous who just don´t know any better. A third possibility would be an agnosticism born out of a lack of faith in divine revelation.

Anti-ICE woke protestors storm church - interesting since they claim that ICE agents are the ones who threaten church services. Even Catholic bishops have dispensed immigrants from Mass obligations due to this bogus reason. HYPOCRISY!!!
