Covering herself up in shame, the German Church goes completely bonkers
Catholic Bishops and Saints veiled at Conference Center in Mainz
A Sign of Reckoning
At the Erbacher Hof Christian conference centre, statues of saints, bishops, and coats of arms are veiled. This measure follows a 2023 study and aims to create a new culture of remembrance. For the time being, the rooms are designated "Interim."
The reckoning with decades of abuse in the Catholic Church continues. Hardly a month goes by without a new academic study or report fueling the debate in one of the 27 dioceses. In Mainz, the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, activists are making a clear statement: At the Erbacher Hof conference center, located in the historic city center near the Rhine, all references to church figures were temporarily covered at the end of 2025.
A bishop's bust was covered, as were coats of arms in the courtyard and the names of the event rooms. All of them are labeled "Interim" until further notice to emphasize their temporary nature. A framed notice informs visitors to the …
Luke 17:1
“It is impossible that scandals should not come, but woe to him through whom they come!”
Among those whose names remain hidden are figures such as Saint Hildegard and Saint Lioba, Martin Buber and Edith Stein, as well as all bishops since the Second World War: from Albert Stohr and Hermann Volk to Cardinal Karl Lehmann.
Excellent priest
Catholic priest speaks for all Faithful Catholics in their revulsion of the slime Jesus Nativity broadcast
Catholic priest speaks for all Faithful Catholics in their revulsion of the slime Jesus Nativity broadcast
The Christmas Eve service broadcast by ARD continues to cause a stir.
Reactions to the service, which the German public broadcaster ARD aired from Stuttgart on Christmas Day, are still pouring in. They range from disbelief to outrage.
During the live broadcast from the Catholic Church of St. Mary in Stuttgart, an adult man, wrapped in wet rice paper, lay on a pile of straw in the manger. The actor, who breathed only through a straw, was meant to represent the Christ Child. The artist Milena Lorek created the installation specifically for the service.
Many television viewers, Christians, and even worshippers who attended the service in person, associated the sight of this "slime Jesus" with an alien. They found it deeply repulsive.
The Christmas Eve service from Stuttgart caused a major uproar on social media.
Comments such as "disgusting," "hurtful," and "sick" continue to pour in …
Christmas warning
Archbishop Gänswein warns of a "soulless Christmas"
Archbishop Gänswein warns of a "soulless Christmas"
The former Papal secretary reveals what is particularly important to him besides the church services during the holiday
Archbishop Georg Gänswein has warned of a loss of the Christian core of Christmas. In an interview with the German Catholic News Agency (KNA), the long-time secretary of Pope Benedict XVI and current nuncio to Lithuania said: "The religious aspect is increasingly being sidelined. The actual Christmas story—the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God—is fading into the background." Christmas is being undermined, and the festival is losing its soul.
Gänswein said that he is particularly moved by the spiritual dimension of the holidays: "The solemn liturgy of the Christmas days, especially the celebration of Midnight Mass." The liturgy opens the heart and speaks to the senses. "It unlocks the Christmas message in a unique way."
His personal perspective on the festival has changed over the course of his life: "My perspective …
Quote: "The religious aspect is increasingly being sidelined. The actual Christmas story—the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God—is fading into the background." Christmas is being undermined, and the festival is losing its soul." News flash! This has been going on for quite awhile now. Even back to the 1950s here in the U.S. there has been a thoroughly secular consumerist X-mas of Santa, Jingle Bells, cookies, expensive presents, and holiday movies & TV specials. The "War on Christmas" is very real despite what liberal, multiculturalist elites tell you to debunk it.
Truth comes out now
Archbishop Gänswein finally speaks out about his shabby treatment by a vindictive Pope Francis. "The centrality of Christ has forcefully returned to the forefront of the homilies and words of the universal pastor of the Church."
Vatican, Monsignor Georg Gänswein speaks: "My truth about three Popes"
From Benedict XVI to Leo XIV, passing through Francis. Ratzinger's former secretary and right-hand man, "expelled" from the Vatican by Bergoglio, reveals secrets of the Holy See: from unauthorized recordings to prophecies that later came true.
It's almost surreal to meet Monsignor Georg Gänswein in a small room reserved just for the two of us at Casa Santa Marta, the place where Pope Francis lived—and died—for twelve years. The former secretary and right-hand man of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and then Benedict XVI was misunderstood, badly expelled from the Vatican, and perhaps even a little vilified. In this sort of hotel, renovated under Wojtyla to accommodate cardinals during conclaves, in the final years of the Bergoglian era, Msgr. Gänswein was considered an enemy, and therefore an unwelcome guest. Yet today, the current Apostolic Nuncio to the Baltic Republics is serene and smiling, as if that anguished period …
This is a STRAW-MAN a non-topic that serves to distract from Prevost's wolves wrecking the Church and sending souls straight to Hell. And at the end of course promo of Prevost himself by a prelate who pretends to care about orthodoxy and yet no mention of horrors and abominations coming from Rome for the past 12 years. Disgusting!

Jesuit accused of sexual abuse wins in secular court invoking statute of limitations; Vatican immediately overturns Jesuit ruling on seven allegations that they judged credible.
Court of Appeal orders dismissal of case Against Father Felipe Berríos due to statute of limitations
The priest commented on the ruling and reiterated his "absolute innocence in the events that were falsely attributed to me."
This Friday, the Santiago Court of Appeals ordered the dismissal of the case against Father Felipe Berríos, who was accused of sexual abuse for events that allegedly occurred in 2000 when the complainant was 15 years old.
The Court upheld the ruling of the 34th Guarantee Court of Santiago, which determined that the case had expired due to the statute of limitations.
The ruling states that "given that the criminal action has expired due to the statute of limitations (...) it is appropriate to declare the total and definitive dismissal of this case, which legally prevents determining the veracity of the events under investigation, especially the guilt of the accused."
Felipe Berríos' reaction to his dismissal
In a public statement, the former Jesuit argued that "…
Hopeless modernist
Modernist theologian- "A plethora of absurd stories" in the Bible. All time favourite song, "Mary Did you know?"
Delphine Conzelmann: The Virgin Birth of Mary as an "Intellectual Challenge"
What on earth was the point of converting?
The Virgin Birth for Catholics is not an intellectual challenge. It is a reality and the truth
Roman Catholic theologian Delphine Conzelmann doesn't take "absurd stories" in the Bible literally. She embraces the intellectual challenge, full of "freedom in faith." At Christmas, she appreciates the "indestructible, positive power."
A year ago, Basel theologian Delphine Conzelmann converted from the Reformed Church to the Roman Catholic Church. She told kath.ch that her reasons for the change were "primarily spiritual." She said she had developed a new understanding of the Last Supper and the Eucharist.
Now, the theologian is pushing back against the tendency to view faith and reason as opposites. That's a misunderstanding, she says in an interview with NZZ am Sonntag.
"A woman who claims she became pregnant by a ghost—of course, that sounds totally bizarre!"
She takes …
Clearly an incomplete 'conversion' to the Catholic faith. She's not a theologian, she is what is termed in academia as a 'literary scholar' where style and substance are far more murky and relative to the times.
Salacious
The way Tucho thinks. More salacious writing from the enemy of the great Marian dogmas
The recent resurgence on social media of a booklet published in 1989 by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, current Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, has raised questions about the language used by the cardinal at the time. The work, conceived as a guide to inner healing, contains passages of a sensual nature and poems with a strong erotic and emotional charge that are being discussed again two decades later.
The dissemination of Víctor Manuel Fernández's text, titled "Why Can't I Finish Healing?", has been surprising due to the presence of bodily descriptions that contrast with its pastoral purpose. In the chapter "When Sensuality Clouds My Image," he explains how certain garments enhance physical attractiveness, noting: "The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a t-shirt […] A bare neck is more sensual when adorned with a chain." He also compares shifting tastes—"fine, white, and delicate" hands versus "fleshy and warm" ones—and …
Of course, nobody will claim that Tucho is a homosexual. There is no proof.
Its definitely a fight

OPEN LETTER. Women and the Diaconate: Solidarity with Linda Pocher by Andrea Grillo
Published on December 7, 2025, in the blog: Come se non
We are publishing this Open Letter of solidarity with Linda Pocher on the style of communication within the Church. The text of the Letter is also published by SettimanaNews magazine (here).
When one lacks effective arguments in public debate, one discredits the person with whom one disagrees – this is the tone with which Silere non possum attacked Professor Sister Linda Pocher after her interview with Repubblica regarding the recent publication of the Vatican Study Commission's document on women's access to the diaconate.
This is a worldly, and even violent, instrument that is ill-suited to those who claim to defend the essence of the sacrament of Holy Orders within the Catholic Church.

In the Roman Catholic Church, the only one who follows tradition, there will NEVER be female deacons.

Bishop supports priest canceling Christmas and anything to do with the great Feast of the Incarnation.
Bishop supports priest canceling Christmas and anything to do with the great Feast of the Incarnation.
In Avrechy, a small village in the Oise region, the Christmas liturgy has disappeared from the calendar due to a municipal conflict. When an electoral battle is enough to silence Christmas Mass, the entire place of the sacred in our society is called into question.
The affair erupted this past weekend in November in Avrechy, in the Oise region. The village priest decided to cancel the nativity scene, the festivities, and especially the Christmas Mass, stating that he wanted to prevent a religious celebration from becoming the subject of a purely political battle between two candidates in the municipal elections. Le Parisien specifies that the long-time organizer of the parish festivities is now the main opponent of the incumbent mayor and that both are engaged in a particularly tense local campaign. To distance himself from this confrontation, the priest has chosen to cancel all …
Any excuse. By the way, this has been tried before; it never succeeded. "Those who do not know their history..."
