Cardinals Received a Document Opposing the Roman Rite at the Consistory - Report

Although the subject of the Mass in the Roman rite was not raised openly during the consistory on January 7-8, it was nevertheless referenced in writing.
“While the liturgy was put aside,” an anonymous cardinal told TheCatholicHerald.com, “we were given a paper at the end written by Cardinal Arthur Roche, which was pretty negative concerning the Tridentine Latin Mass.”
Cardinal Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Liturgy, has been one of the key figures in implementing Pope Francis's 2021 apostolic letter Traditionis custodes, which restricts the celebration of the Mass.

Shame on you trumphaters

Question: "Do you know ANY EXILED Venezuelan who isn’t thankful to president Trump?"
Take your time....
You don’t? Let me give you a hint... 0 , I was married to one, her entire family is living either in Florida or Chile, they don’t have sweet words for the regime and they don’t care about Trump's methods or his desire to get Venezuelan oil.
The horror some of my friends endured, one of my friends had to sell her apartment and the family business (2 bakeries), 2 out 6 employees of my sister's business had to do odd related jobs to try and get established despite having an university degree and spent a small fortune to study them (business admin and agricultural engineering).
A friend of mine, sold her apartment for US 10k, despite costing her 110k, decided to immigrate when goons appeared in her bakeries and threatened with high caliber weapons, placed in her brother's neck, to kill him if she didn't surrender their 2 suv's, after that close encounter, they fled the regime.

Italian MP Defends Former Papal Master of Ceremonies

Public support for Monsignor Marco Agostini, the former Master of Papal Ceremonies, has emerged in Italy. He was dismissed after an audio recording was circulated in which he was allegedly heard using offensive language about members of the Roman Curia. While a microphone was unintentionally left on ahead of a Christmas greeting, he reportedly said that they are all "assholes" and "faggots".
On 4 January, VeronaNews.net reported that Vito Comencini (Popolo Veneto), a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, had issued a public letter expressing solidarity with the prelate.
Comencini considers the dismissal 'unjust and foolish', adding that it represents a 'worrying sign of persecution'.
Neither the audio nor the dismissal has been accompanied by an official explanation from Vatican authorities.
The Italian politician is aware that Monsignor Agostini had been 'targeted for some time' and claims that the alleged interception merely served as justification for his removal.

The Council Fathers on Vatican II

There is plenty of evidence to show that Bishops and Cardinals who attended Vatican Council II were concerned from the start about its timing, its content and the serious omissions found in its documents.
While there is no doubt that it was a pivotal moment in the history of the Church, Vatican II represents for some a devastating rupture with Catholicism as it was always taught, while it remains for others the surprising revelation of a Catholicism which had hitherto not been discovered.
As a liberal, Pope Leo XIV falls into the latter camp and has
announced that he will begin a new catechesis series on Vatican II. He believes we must “continue to seek ways and means to implement its insights” and that “it will be important to get to know it again closely.”
In more conservative circles, many have woken up to the fact that implementation was never the problem. Like Communism, which its loyal adherents say has “not yet been implemented properly”, Vatican II contains integral errors …

'State of disaster' declared as Australia battles bushfires during extreme heatwave

Part of Australia's Victoria state has been declared a disaster zone after dozens of fires tore through 300,000 ​hectares, destroying homes, during an extreme heatwave.
The state's premier, Jacinta Allan, said that around 30,000 homes and businesses are also currently without power.
In an update on X, she said there were currently 10 major fire fronts and further 20 fires being closely monitored. "Conditions remain dangerous and unpredictable," Ms Allan added.
Among those, there were 16 emergency warnings - the highest category - for major fires at Walwa, Longwood, Wonnangatta and Ravenswood.
In the town of Malmsbury, 55 miles (88km) northwest of Melbourne, local fire crews posted footage of teams tackling a blaze.

We’re considering very strong options on Iran – Allah's Willing Executioners

Donald Trump White House Photo by Daniel Torok
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday night that the US is watching Iran closely and weighing possible responses as unrest in the country grows.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump stated that Iran is starting to cross his red line.
“There seems to be some people killed that aren’t supposed to be killed. We are looking at it very seriously, the military is looking at it and we’re looking at some very strong options,” he added, noting that he is receiving reports on the Iranian protests every hour.
He also warned Iran against attacking American bases in the region, stating that if they do, “we will hit them harder than they imagined.”
Trump’s comments came hours after the White House
posted a cryptic message on social media amid the tensions with Iran and speculations that the US might launch strikes against the Islamic Republic.

Satanic Temple loses appeal in religious freedom lawsuit over abortion

Satanic Temple loses appeal in religious freedom lawsuit over abortion

A federal appeals court has ruled against the Satanic Temple's religious-based challenge of Indiana's near-total abortion ban.
On Jan. 6, 2026,
the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit sided with a 2023 lower court opinion that the group lacked standing to sue because it did not present evidence that at least one Hoosier adherent was actually harmed.
"This lawsuit was ridiculous from the start, but this unanimous court decision is a critical victory because it continues to uphold our pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally rock-solid," Attorney General Todd Rokita said in a press release.
Under Indiana law, abortion is allowed only in very narrow circumstances: cases of fatal fetal anomalies, threats to the mother's life, and pregnancies before 10 weeks' gestation caused by rape or incest. Lawyers for the Satanic Temple argued that these restrictions conflict with the religious practices of its Hoosier adherents.
The group holds as one of its central tenets …

Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop of Cape Town - Considers Protestants Part of the Church

Pope Leo XIV named Monsignor Sithembele Anton Sipuka, 65, as Archbishop of Cape Town on January 9. He succeeds Cardinal Stephen Brislin, who was transferred to Johannesburg in October 2024.
Early Life and Formation
Sithembele Anton Sipuka was born on April 27, 1960, in Idutywa (Dutywa) in the Eastern Cape. Before entering seminary, he worked for two years as a post office clerk.
He was ordained a priest in 1988 for the Diocese of Queenstown, six years before the end of apartheid.
In 1992, he was sent to Rome to study at the Pontifical Urban University.
Rising Star in the Church
In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Sipuka as Bishop of Mthatha. The diocese is rural, located in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province, and has fewer than 40,000 Catholics.
Cape Town, by contrast, is one of South Africa’s most prominent sees, with approximately 280,000 Catholics.
From 2019 to 2023, Bishop Sipuka served as President of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
In July 2025, Pope Leo …More

HILDEBRAND, LEFEBVRE, MATTEI, GRUNER, FERRARA AND MARSHALL USED THE FALSE PREMISE TO INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II IN IGNORANCE.

10.01.2025
HILDEBRAND, LEFEBVRE, MATTEI, GRUNER, FERRARA AND MARSHALL USED THE FALSE PREMISE TO INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II IN IGNORANCE.
Dietrich and Alice von Hildebrand, Paolo Pascualucci, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Roberto dei Mattei, Fr. Nicholas Gruner, Christopher Ferrara, Mons. Ignacio Barreiro and others were all interpreting Vatican Council II with Cushingism. So this line of traditionalist writers had it wrong on the Council. Their premise was wrong and so their conclusion was wrong.
Roberto dei Mattei will not announce that he made a mistake on Vatican Council II all these years
Taylor Marshall interprets St. Thomas Aquinas with Cushingism and not Feeneyism and so there is a rupture with Tradition for him.
Michael Davies, Atila Sinke Guimares, John Vennari interpreted Vatican Council II with a false premise. So there was an artificial rupture with extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Feeneyite), the Syllabus of Errors, Athanasius Creed etc.
The SSPX bishops too made their original …

AI Shows Symptoms of Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD – And It’s Ruining Your Mental Health Too

Breaking News
Grok, Gemini and ChatGPT exhibit symptoms of poor mental health according to a new study that put various AI models through weeks of therapy-style questioning. Some are now curious about “AI mental health”, but the real warning here is about how unstable these systems – which are already being used by one in three UK adults for mental health support – become in emotionally charged conversations. Millions of people are turning to AI as replacement therapists, and in the last year alone we’ve seen a spike in lawsuits connecting chatbot interactions with self-harm and suicide cases in vulnerable users.
The emerging picture is not that machines are suffering or mentally unwell, but that a product being used for mental-health support is fundamentally misleading, escalating, and reinforcing dangerous thoughts.

Bishop Eleganti: "Papal Teaching Has Become Incoherent"

Documents such as Fiducia Supplicans on homosexual "blessings" or Mater Populi Fidelis on Our Lady need to be corrected and given a “true interpretation in the sense of the traditional doctrine” in order to remain coherent with tradition, retired Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti told Michael Haynes on 8 January for PelicanPlus.com (Blogger software Ghost.org):
"The biggest problem is that we have never had a situation like this before, where the Dicastery or the Magisterium of the Church has become inconsistent and incoherent. That’s the great problem. We have to correct that."
The Bishop added: "As we have seen with Fiducia Supplicans, there has been resistance to the document, and good theological arguments have been put forward against it. The document is not well founded. So, resistance is arising, and you can observe that, in a second note, Cardinal Fernández downplays it a little."
Regarding Islam, Bishop Eleganti said that he is not "so naive as to think that water and …More

As Protests and Casualties Mount in Iran, What Are Trump’s Options for Action?

Protests have expanded rapidly across Iran in recent days, with dozens reportedly having been killed amid a crackdown by the Iranian regime.
“Protesters demonstrated in at least 156 instances across 27 provinces on January 8, which almost doubles the number of protests recorded on January 7,” according to the Institute for the Study of War, a national security policy and education nonprofit.
The anti-regime protests are in response to Iran’s failing economy and rampant inflation. The protests are the largest demonstrations against the regime in years, and President Donald Trump has threatened to take action against the regime if its crackdown on protests turned deadly.

13% of a U.S. Diocese Try "Ad Orientem" Eucharists

Throughout 2025, Bishop Daniel Felton of Duluth, Minnesota, has "permitted" nine parishes in the diocese to celebrate the Eucharist ad orientem, with the priest and congregation facing the same direction.
The "permissions" were granted following requests from parish priests and on a trial basis.
Bishop Felton began with an instruction issued in 2024. He wrote that celebrating the Eucharist facing the pews has been widely adopted in the Church since the Second Vatican Council. He added that some Catholics believe this posture has resulted in a loss of 'a sense of transcendence'. Bishop Felton required that both liturgical postures be treated with mutual respect. Priests had to explain their motivations for celebrating ad orientem to him personally and consult their parishioners beforehand.
The frequency of the posture varied by parish. Some communities celebrated ad orientem every Sunday, while others did so once a month.
The Diocese of Duluth comprises 69 parishes. The nine parishes …More

In the Diocese of Austin, I was instrumental in helping them develop a Latin ad orientem Novus Ordo (I knew that was the beginning of the end). I did it because they begged me, being the resident liturgical expert and having the ability to read and competently speak Latin. I made it a point to teach myself those rubrics (not really rubrics) so that I could have a knowledge of the false dichotomy.
The Latin Novus Ordo ad orientem is not the TLM. No way, no how. Lipstick on a pig (I speak of the liturgy, not the miracle of transubstantiation). That’s what this city has now. Good for them. They forced me out of the Church by making me overly bitter and frustrated.
It is still the same humanist liturgy it always is. Some slap on more makeup and have two deacons (one for the Word, one for the Eucharist) to simulate having an actual subdeacon. Utterly laughable and pathetic, nay synthetic.

sp2 . .

What this fine Bishop should have said was: that if any priest can take out a compass and face East, he is very free to say liturgy in that direction.
If you are going to return to true tradition, do it right, and not repeat past mistakes.
