“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 …
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
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.
Saint Gregory the Theologian Sun Jan 25th "Above all guard for me this great deposit of faith for which I live and fight, which I want to take with me as a companion, and which makes me bear all evils and despise all pleasures.” Saint Gregory the Theologian (4th Century), Orationes "The most powerful means we have for drawing down the benevolence of Mary toward us is a virtue. That virtue is love for our neighbor." Saint Gregory the Theologian (4th Century) “We must begin by purifying ourselves before purifying others; we must be instructed to be able to instruct, become light to illuminate, draw close to God to bring Him close to others, be sanctified to sanctify, lead by the hand and counsel prudently. I know whose ministers we are, where we find ourselves, and to where we strive. I know God's greatness and man's weakness, but also his potential. [who then is the priest? He is] the defender of truth, who stands with angels, gives glory with archangels, causes sacrifices to rise to …More
« Avant tout, gardez pour moi ce grand dépôt de foi pour lequel je vis et je me bats, que je veux emporter avec moi comme compagnon, et qui me fait supporter tous les maux et mépriser tous les plaisirs. » Saint Grégoire le Théologien « Le moyen le plus puissant dont nous disposons pour attirer la bienveillance de Marie vers nous est une vertu. Cette vertu est l'amour du prochain. » Saint Grégoire le Théologien « Nous devons commencer par nous purifier nous-mêmes avant de purifier les autres ; nous devons être instruits pour pouvoir instruire, devenir lumière pour éclairer, nous approcher de Dieu pour Le rapprocher des autres, être sanctifiés pour sanctifier, guider par la main et conseiller avec prudence. Je sais de qui nous sommes les ministres, où nous nous trouvons et vers quoi nous tendons. Je connais la grandeur de Dieu et la faiblesse de l'homme, mais aussi son potentiel.

Video shows moments around fatal shooting in … Here is partial video of ice pepper spraying Pretti and someone he was trying to help. BBC of course tuned out the man saying, what's wrong with you. Your going to kill me many times, while he was being beaten, kicked and hit on the head with a canister. Clearly he was trying to help someone. He wanted no part of the violence ice was causing. They kicked his camera some said. NOT A GUN! As usual the lies are destroyed. Campos another person they killed, ice is now saying he was trying to commit suicide. It's only getting a lot worse now. And still only a drop of what's to come.
Amazing, another week passes and somehow I have managed not to get shot by law enforcement. I am quite sure if you are reading this you did the same. Now how did we manage that?
ICE agents smashed a car window to detain a toddler. Irina Vaynerman, one of the family’s lawyers, told the Guardian late Friday afternoon that immigration officials had since flown both of them back to Minnesota and released the two-year-old into the custody of her mother. The father remains detained in Minnesota, she said. “The horror is truly unimaginable,” Vaynerman said. “The depravity of all of this is beyond words.” Court records and the attorney’s accounts paint a harrowing picture of the toddler and father’s detention and the frantic efforts that followed to get her released from custody and reunited with her mother. The detention came two days after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained five-year-old Liam Ramos in Minnesota, in a case that has prompted international backlash and increased scrutiny of the Trump administration’s aggressive crackdown in the region. As the father and daughter were arriving home on Thursday, agents entered their backyard and …More
