The Vatican announced the episcopal consecration of Monsignor Francesco Li Jianlin as the new bishop of the Prefecture of Xinxiang in Henan, China, on December 5. The liturgy was held at the church of Weihui and celebrated by Bishop Li Shan of Beijing. He heads the state-controlled Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. Li Jianlin is the second bishop elected during the papal interregnum following the death of Pope Francis. The appointment was formally approved by Pope Leo XIV on August 11. It comes with the acceptance of the “resignation” of the underground bishop Giuseppe Zhang Weizhu of Xinxiang. Loyal Catholic Bishop Erased from Memory The official Chinese report made no mention of papal approval and omitted any reference to Bishop Zhang Weizhu. Appointed in 1991, he was never recognized by Beijing. For decades he faced arrests, restrictions, and suppression because he refused to join the Patriotic Association. One notable episode occurred in 2021, when police dismantled a clandestine …More
"The way to Heaven is tough. Our time has reached a higher intensity of evil than before. Temptations are greater than ever,” said Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X in an interview with Kenya’s Immaculata TV on 23 November (video below). He explained that there has been a terrible crisis in the Church since Vatican II, including a terrifying decline in vocations: "You wonder how far it can go." And, "The influence of the Church on the world is now reduced to nothing." Bishop Fellay quoted Cardinal Ratzinger’s well-known prediction that the Church as we know it will disappear and be reduced to "little islands": "I fear we are very close to that time." He continued, "A lot of things in the Church have already been destroyed." On Tucho’s Document About Marian Titles Regarding Cardinal Victor (Tucho) Fernández and his recent document on the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces, Bishop Fellay called it “pitiful.” “It is an insult to God,” he …More
Rome has shown legitimate liturgical flexibility concerning the filioque—omitting it at Nicaea, and permitting Eastern-rite Catholics to profess the Creed without it in keeping with the received tradition of their rites—but papal infallibility cannot be relegated to a negotiable adaptation or cultural variance.
In his homily during the Divine Liturgy in Istanbul on 30 November, the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew referred to the theological differences between Orthodoxy and the Church. He referred to the Apostle Andrew as the founder of a distinct church, and identified Catholic dogmas as an obstacle to achieving full unity. The quotes: - "As successors of the two holy Apostles [Andrew and Peter], the founders of our respective Churches, we feel bound by ties of spiritual brotherhood." - "We can only pray that issues such as the filioque and infallibility will be resolved such that their understanding no longer serve as stumbling blocks to the communion of our Churches." #newsKhlgvfjdnl
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
Lighthouse Assembly of God with one of the STRANGEST speaking in tongues sounds we've ever heard, almost like an alarm clock, and then a nonsensical "interpretation."
While he admitted his face is very expressive, he cautioned journalists who might try to use it to interpret his thoughts and feelings. They are “not always correct,” he said. If people want to know what guides the pope’s thoughts, he said, it’s his trust in God. “In the midst of great challenge, living in Peru during years of terrorism, being called to several places where I never thought I would be called to serve to … I trust in God, and that message is something that I share with all people,” he said.
On the flight back to Rome today, Pope Leo XIV answered authorised questions from journalists. Main quotes. - During this trip, I also met privately with representatives of various groups connected to political authorities and to internal or international conflicts in the region. Our work happens mostly behind the scenes, not in public statements. - A year or two ago I also thought that I would one day retire. … One simply gives his life to the Lord and allows the Lord to guide him. - If you want to know something about me—what my spirituality has been for many years, amid great challenges … I trust in God. - I surrendered [at the conclave] when I saw how things were going. I took a deep breath and said, "Here we are, Lord, you are the boss, you lead the way." - My face is very expressive, but I am often amused by how journalists interpret my face. You think you can read my mind or my face. You are not always right. - The Holy See does not have direct involvement [Russia/NATO] because …More
“Many abortion workers have some faith,” explained ATTWN marketing and communications director Karen Herzog. “Each year, we choose a Christmas card with a Holy Family scene. The nuns write handwritten notes inside, letting the person who opens the cards and hopefully everyone else working there, know that religious sisters are praying for them to choose to leave the abortion industry.”
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Łódź as the new Archbishop of Kraków in Poland. Born in Krakow in 1964, he was ordained as a priest in 1988. In 2011, Benedict XVI appointed him as an auxiliary bishop of Krakow. Pope Francis named him archbishop of Łódź in 2017 and cardinal in September 2023. Francis' man in Poland Edward Pentin described Cardinal Ryś on CollegeOfCardinalsReport.com as an extremely liberal bishop and as Poland’s "Pope Francis man". "His elevation to the cardinalate was seen as a reward and encouragement for his attempts to reform Poland's conservative Church." Pentin added that, since Ryś became a member of the Congregation for Bishops in October 2023, new bishops in Poland have been more progressive than their predecessors. Like Cardinal Ryś, they all strongly promote the Church’s new synodal way. In October 2023, Cardinal Ryś said that opposition to Pope Francis is "completely unjust" and "always based on one or two phrases taken out of …More
1. Božie prikázanie znie, Ja Som Pán Boh tvoj, nebudeš mať iných bohov okrem Mňa, aby si sa im klaňal ! Teda našou povinnosťou je nerešpektovať - iné náboženstvá. Dobrí kresťan bude opovrhovať budhom, mohamedom, krišnom, pačamamou, šivom..... a nemať ich za nič.
2 Pedro 2: 1-3 "Así como hubo falsos profetas en la historia pasada de nuestro pueblo, también vosotros tendréis falsos maestros, que insinuarán sus propias opiniones perturbadoras y renegarán del Maestro que compró su libertad. Se destruirán a sí mismos muy rápidamente; pero habrá muchos que imitarán su comportamiento vergonzoso y el Camino de la Verdad quedará desacreditado por culpa de ellos".
Bloomberg has published a transcript of a phone call between Putin’s aides, Yuri Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev, another senior Kremlin adviser, from October 29. According to the report, they discussed a plan to pass Moscow’s peace proposal to the United States so that Washington could present the ideas as its own.
Cardinal Mario Grech knew you couldn’t wait, so he dropped you a little appetizer of a publication that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of this phase of the Synod’s implementation process.” Let’s dive in. Actually, since the summary is 11,359 words long all by itself, why don’t I just summarize the summary and give you the highlights?
Members of Minnesota’s Somali community have been involved in a scheme to defraud Medicaid by falsely diagnosing children with autism and sending the money to Al-Shabaab. It cites a sharp rise in Medicaid spending on autism services and an increase in autism centers as evidence, though no verified sources are provided. Look at the insane spike in claims: 2018: $3 million 2023: $399 million
These animals do not care. They are termites who feed upon us and then give the products to other lands. REMEMBER, it was Catholic charities who sponsored most of these beasts into our nation., and the blame goes mainly to them.
Dr. Peter McCullough highlights twelve studies showing that completely unvaccinated children consistently experience better health outcomes than their vaccinated peers. He explains that vaccines administered individually—especially after age four—are far safer than the early-life “battery” recommended during critical neurodevelopment. Citing new JAMA data showing that 60% of parents now refuse the full CDC schedule, McCullough says families are recognizing the connection between clustered shots and developmental regression.
Well People used to take small sips of poison to acclimate the body in the event of an enemy attach via poisoning. The body can tool up to deal with toxins so long as it’s not overwhelmed.
Good. There is also no historical precedent for inducing minor disease to prevent major disease which is how vaccines are supposed to work. It is an aberration of the medical concept of healing. There is also a theological backing for this. As one would never recommend a little sin to prevent grave sin. Rather purity (or immunity, extending the analogy) protects against sin (disease).
Bishop Fernando Arêas Rifan, 75, was received on November 15 by Pope Leo XIV. He is the Apostolic Administrator of São João Maria Vianney, in Campos, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is committed to the Roman Rite. He is the only "official" Bishop of the Roman rite. On November 17, he described the 30-minute audience on dapostolica.org. He recounted to Leo XIV the history of his Administration, which originated with Bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer of Campos (+1991), who had joined Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Bishop Rifan presented Leo XIV with some of his books, articles, and explanations: “I spoke about our theological and spiritual path, about how we emerged from a state of separation from the Church and how we came to understand the necessity of communion, in which we now find ourselves, thanks to God and to the Church.” Leo XIV asked him several questions about his position, which Monsignor Rifan answered "correctly", leaving the Pope "satisfied": "He realized that we are very different …More

Synod study group 5 gives update on work of Commission looking at female diaconate following the Synod: “All synodal contributions related to this subject have been forwarded to that Commission for its consideration”
The Vatican’s Synod Secretariat published on November 17 an Interim Report (28 pages) on its ten study groups. It is essentially a progress update toward a final report expected by December 31, 2025. “A special word must be reserved for the question of women's access to the diaconate,” the Interim Report notes, adding that the final document will address “the specific theme of the participation of women in the life and leadership of the Church.” On homosexuality, the Interim Report states: “Some emerging issues (which we find more appropriate to designate thus rather than as controversial) will be addressed in a manner that offers an operational dimension to the proposals advanced.” The Synodal “Paradigm Shift”: Subjectivity of Sinner The document proposes a "principle of pastorality" as "an interpretive horizon to express this paradigm shift (also in relation to the love/truth relationship).” It calls for a “mutual interaction between life (of the believer) and doctrine” and …More
Notice that all the screens have the blasphemous demonic depiction of Christ that resembles a serpent from that abominable statue at the center of what is called the Paul Vi audience hall. That building is of Satan. It is a source of continual scandal. Nothing but venom and falsehood spew from between its fangs. Seeing they do not see. Wake up folks.
Next they will be working on the question "Is the moon made of blue cheese" — which, frankly, will be of much more use. What a complete load of rubbish!
Bishop Daniel Garcia, 65, has banned kneelers for receiving Holy Communion in the Diocese of Austin, Texas. A diocesan letter dated November 12 and published by Wdtprs.com acknowledges that the use of kneelers during the distribution of Communion has become increasingly common in recent years. Nevertheless, the memo states plainly: “Bishop Garcia asks that the practice of setting out a kneeler for Holy Communion be discontinued.” The diocese cites three reasons/excuses for the cruel decision: "1. The General Instruction for the Roman Missal (GIRM) states, “The norm established for the Dioceses of the United States of America is that Holy Communion is to be received standing, unless an individual member of the faithful wishes to receive Communion while kneeling,” (GIRM 160); 2. The placing of a kneeler near the distribution of Holy Communion could confuse the faithful regarding what is the norm while sending a message that one way of receiving Holy Communion is more, or less, appropriate; and …More
