Pedaling Away From “Illicit Religion”: China Turns Bicycle Races Into Propaganda Arenas

In Yiwu, Zhejiang, participants in a sports event are indoctrinated against the “xie jiao” while cycling up the hills.
by Qi Junzao
The Yivu race: anti-xie-jiao propaganda is not far away.

On December 14, the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang
province hosted what might have been a perfectly ordinary sporting event: a cycling hill‑climb invitational. One thousand riders gathered at the scenic Shili Taohua Wu area to test their stamina on the winding Yan’kou Lake track. But in China, no public gathering is too innocent to escape the heavy hand of propaganda.
Suddenly, the event was transformed into a “sports + anti-xie‑jiao extravaganza.”
For readers unfamiliar with the term, “xie jiao” is often translated as “cults” or “evil cults,” but this is not accurate. It designates in China since the Middle Ages “organizations spreading heterodox teachings,” and the powers that be decide which teachings are “heterodox.” Today, it is a deliberately broad and elastic label wielded by the Chinese …

FCA upholds 2024 ruling that Liberal government unreasonably invoked Emergencies Act to clear convoy

The appellate court dismissed every appeal before it on Friday
Blair Ector, Sujit Choudhry, Ewa Krajewska
The Federal Court of Appeal has upheld a two-year-old ruling that found the Liberal government unreasonably invoked the Emergencies Act to clear the 2022 Freedom Convoy.
Multiple parties had appealed the
2024 ruling by Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley, which addressed four lawsuits challenging the slew of emergency measures the government rolled out in early 2022.
The government told the appellate court that Mosley, who also ruled that some of its measures to control the protests violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, had reached the wrong conclusion. However, two public interest groups – the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Constitution Foundation – argued that Mosley’s ruling on the Charter violations should have been even broader.

ICE Takes Out Most Dangerous Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary Minnesota

WASHINGTON, DC – A press release issued earlier in January by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) highlighted how the agency’s efforts in “sanctuary Minnesota” are still rendering favorable results in terms of apprehended criminal illegal aliens under President Donald Trump’s leadership.
A January 14th press release from ICE announced operations within Minnesota have resulted in multiple arrests of criminal illegal aliens who are alleged “gang members…many convicted of violent crimes,” emphasizing said criminals were among those being shielded by pro-sanctuary politicians like “like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey.”
“These are the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens that ICE is targeting,” the press release reads, adding, “and who rioters, agitators, and sanctuary politicians like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are trying to protect. Several of these dangerous criminal illegal alien gang members have been arrested during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.”

Valet to Three Popes Dies at 90

Angelo Gugel, the longtime papal valet who worked for three popes, has died in Rome at the age of 90, reports Vatican media.
Appointed in 1978 by John Paul I, the “33-day pope,” Gugel went on to serve John Paul II throughout his nearly 27-year pontificate. He retired at the beginning of the papacy of Benedict XVI, at the age of 70.
Known for his immaculate appearance, he preserved strict discretion even after retirement.
From the Gendarmerie to the Papal Household
Born on 27 April 1935 in Miane, in Italy’s Veneto region, Gugel joined the Vatican Gendarmerie at the age of 20.
After a serious bout of tuberculosis, he was transferred to the administration of the Vatican City State. Albino Luciani, his former bishop in Vittorio Veneto and a family acquaintance, personally chose him as valet after being elected pope.
When John Paul I died unexpectedly on 28 September 1978, Gugel was among the few people present in the papal bedroom.

Praised by some as a bold evangelist and criticised by others for blurring sacred lines, Padre Guilherme’s nightclub set in Beirut reignites a deeper debate: how far can a priest go in adopting the symbols of secular culture without obscuring the meaning of the priesthood itself?

A recent performance in Beirut of Father Guilherme Peixoto sparked opposition from some Christians in Lebanon.
“Not all need to like what I’m doing, but they need to respect. It’s music to bring the church outside of the church,” he said.

A l'évidence, l'apparition de la Vierge Marie, le 17 janvier 1871, à Pontmain

A l'évidence, l'apparition de la Vierge Marie, le 17 janvier 1871, à Pontmain, alors que la guerre que Napoléon III a déclaré à la Prusse se solde par une série de défaites, motiverait qu'on citât Pontmain dans les manuels d'histoire. Ce documentaire passionnant, tourné à Pontmain et dans les environs, riche en témoignages et images d'archives, nous invite à comprendre pourquoi. Et pourquoi le sanctuaire de Pontmain, désormais de renommée internationale, est unique au monde. Sans doute est-ce parce que l'apparition de la Belle Dame à Pontmain présente un caractère particulier. En opposition à la plupart des apparitions de Marie, qui parle aux voyants - en général des enfants, comme à La Saiette ou Fatima - la Vierge s'est en effet adressée ce jour-là aux petits paroissiens de Pontmain par le biais de l'écriture. Une écriture en lettres d'or. « Priez, mes enfants, écrit la Reine du Ciel, mon fils se laisse toucher. Dieu vous exaucera en peu de temps ». Découvrons ensemble …More
