“We Are Already One And We Are Synodal” - Leo XIV: "We are one! We already are! Let us recognise it, experience it, and make it visible! My predecessor, Pope Francis, remarked that the synodal journey of the Catholic Church is and must be ecumenical, just as the ecumenical journey is synodal." Pope Leo XIV made this statement during today's Ecumenical Vespers at St Paul Outside the Walls. Various Christian representatives were present, including Metropolitan Polykarpos of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, Archbishop Khajag Barsamian of the Armenian Apostolic group, and Lay-Bishop Anthony Ball of the Anglican Communion. Pope Leo XIV wants us to “grow together in mutual knowledge of our respective synodal structures and traditions”. He added: "Let us commit ourselves to further developing ecumenical synodal practices."
"Noi siamo uno! Lo siamo già! Riconosciamolo, sperimentiamolo, manifestiamolo! Il mio amato predecessore, Papa Francesco, ha osservato che il cammino sinodale della Chiesa cattolica «è e deve essere ecumenico, così come il cammino ecumenico è sinodale» (Discorso a S.S. Mar Awa III, 19 novembre 2022). Ciò si è riflesso nelle due Assemblee del Sinodo dei Vescovi del 2023 e del 2024, caratterizzate da un profondo zelo ecumenico e arricchite dalla partecipazione di numerosi delegati fraterni."
Remedy When men close souls to Our Lord then Satan brings his poisoned spear, when reason falls and faith can’t hold he whispers things into our ear. He found a girl of ample pride, no need of grace to meet the world and offered her to be her guide, fondled her face, sweet lies he told. He cast his spell: my life – my choice, his charm he placed: No, I won’t serve but then he felt a feeble voice – to Heaven raised to shake the earth. A distant hall, a distant stone, where lions roar but could not pass and mighty call he heard: begone! and fled before the Holy Mass. longer version: Remedy - long version
World News Davos presents itself as a forum for shared solutions to global problems. But this year was not about cooperation – it was about leverage. The public agenda focused on technology, climate, and “global risks”. Beneath that language, the real conversations revolved around territory, recognition, market access, and population control. Davos 2026 was less about consensus and more about who gets to set the terms as geopolitical competition intensifies. Here’s our attempt to summarise what actually happened, and why it matters to us all. Greenland and the Return of Negotiable Borders Unsurprisingly, Greenland was centre stage. President Trump’s comments about the island were treated by many as theatrical provocation, but that misses the point. Raising Greenland at Davos was not about a single land purchase. Instead, it normalised the idea that territory – especially strategically critical territory – is once again negotiable. As we outlined in our previous article, “Why Everyone …

Women's liberation is one of the "Errors of Russia," as is all modern feminist principles practiced here in the States! Fr. Wolfe has a great sermon on how this came about through the Russian revolution. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
With all due respect to the compassionate, and generally very wise and learned Bishop Schneider, other than with the exception of Dante, it is likely imprudent to speculate on Bergoglio's afterlife. Let us pray for his soul and leave it to the Lord he was supposed to serve while in office.
I am not promoting Orthodoxy. Just a video to think about. Discover the inspiring true story of Yevovgeny Rodion, the 19-year-old Russian Orthodox soldier martyred in the First Chechen War for refusing to remove his cross and deny Christ. Beheaded on his birthday after brutal torture, he chose eternal life over compromise. Miracles continue at his grave: healings, myrrh-streaming icons, reconciliation of enemies. A modern warrior-saint whose faith echoes the early Church martyrs. For American and European Christians exploring Orthodox Christianity, this powerful video essay explores themes of unwavering devotion, the power of the Cross, and standing firm in persecution. Perfect for those seeking deeper faith inspiration in today's world. GOD seems to love the Orthodox as well as Catholics. It's seen all over, in many ways. Yevgeny Rodionov: The Modern Orthodox Martyr Who Chose Death Over Denying Christ
Just few years earlier Jihadists in Bosnia were killing captured Croat soldiers for refusing to take off their holy Rosaries and renounce Christ. Now these Jihadists have flooded Europe. Yevgeny and such examples help to prepare us to lift up our own cross one day.
In a country like Lebanon, where I was born, the grace of presence of the Orthodox and their Churches is palpable to a Catholic. A country at the cross roads of civilization while awaiting full communion.
Canadian Woman Euthanised Against Her Will: An elderly woman in Ontario was euthanized just hours after telling doctors she wanted to live and receive hospice care instead. The case is documented in a report by Ontario’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Death Review Committee. She is anonymized as Mrs. B. After becoming severely ill following heart surgery, she was cared for at home by her elderly husband, who physicians noted was suffering from “caregiver burnout.” An official review later revealed that she asked to withdraw her request for assisted death, citing personal and religious reasons, and requested palliative care instead. That request was denied, and barriers to hospice placement remained. Her husband then sought an “urgent” reassessment for assisted dying, saying he could no longer manage her care. She was euthanized later that same day.
This is actually worse than what was predicted in Lord of the World. Recent reports from January 2026 indicate that an investigation was launched into the 2024 death of an 80-year-old Canadian woman, referred to as "Mrs. B," who was euthanized shortly after expressing a desire to live. The Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee highlighted several highly irregular factors in this case: Withdrawal of Consent: Mrs. B originally requested Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) but later informed an assessor she wished to withdraw her request, citing "personal and religious values," and asked for hospice care instead. Caregiver Burnout: Her husband, who was her primary caregiver at home following her heart surgery, was reportedly experiencing "burnout" and requested an "urgent reassessment" for MAiD the same day her hospice placement was denied. Fast-Tracked Procedure: Despite a previous assessor’s objections regarding potential coercion or undue influence, two other assessors approved the …Hafa
Actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has turned down Leo XIV's invitation to go to confession to the Pontiff. During a climate event in Kitzbühel, Austria, Schwarzenegger mentioned that Leo XIV invited him to step aside for a few minutes, but he jokingly refused, saying it would take three hours, reported Bild.de on January 24. Schwarzenegger met Leo XIV in Castel Gandolfo during the embarrassing climate conference involving the blessing of the glacier in early October. He said that he respects Pope Leo XIV and believes the Church has allegedly great power to help protect the environment and fight pollution. #newsKejvxjquln
Novena - Oremus Like those in Gaza who kept saying Mass. And when they were praying while bombs were going off near their Church. That's how Priests should act. Not throwing Our Lord down the way this Priest just did to comfort anyone at all. The Mass must continue no matter what. Someone should have stopped the old man before he even got half way to the Priest.
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. The Council Fathers on Vatican II
An ecumenical commemoration is scheduled for 2030 to mark the 500th anniversary of the Diet of Augsburg and the Confessio Augustana. This was announced by Curia Archbishop Flavio Pace, Secretary of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Christian Unity, speaking to VaticanNews.va on January 22. Monsignor Pace described the Augsburg Confession correctly as an attempt to “find common ground, a common profession of faith, among the countries we now call the Reformation countries”. However, he added that it should be commemorated to “rediscover a common basis” for today. He even expressed the idea that the path toward unity might one day mean “sitting at the one table of Christ.” Confessio Augustana Denies Mass as Sacrifice The Confessio Augustana is a text that denies the sacrificial nature of the Mass. It was written by the Lutheran theologian Philip Melanchthon to unify the Reformation territories, a movement which, under religious pretexts, constituted a political revolt against the …Hafa

Don Roberto Regoli, a professor of Church history at the Pontifical Gregorian University, is preparing to replace Father Federico Lombardi as head of the Vatican Foundation Joseph Ratzinger–Benedict XVI, reports Nico Spuntoni on X.com (January 24). Born on 17 May 1975 in Rome, Don Regoli wears an impeccably trimmed beard. He is renowned internationally for presenting the book Oltre la crisi della Chiesa (Beyond the Crisis of the Church: The Pontificate of Benedict XVI) at the Gregorian University in May 2016. During this event, Archbishop Georg Gänswein delivered his notable remarks concerning Benedict’s ongoing role following his resignation and the possibility of both Benedict and Francis exercising a Petrine ministry. It was that speech, rather than Regoli’s own writing, that became a flashpoint. Notably, the panel for the book presentation chosen by Don Regoli was not exactly Ratzingerian. The stage included: - Paolo Rodari, a former Ratzingerian who became a liberal after moving …Hafa
It's all a joke...abusing pope Benedict, pope Leo XIII, st. Francis... all of them, just to advance Bergoglian antichristic revolution. Even his predecessor, Lombardi was Bergoglio's mouthpiece in the first years of his coup, while Gänswein is Benedict's jailer and undertaker.
The Russian people are too innocent. They don't hold hate in their hearts like most people. So they think everyone has good intentions. And they always have hope.
