Joseph Shaw, President of Una Voce, has written a reply to Cardinal Arthur Roche’s two-pagedocument against the Mass in the Roman rite, which was distributed at Leo XIV’s consistory last week in Italian and English. Faulty Translation Shaw notes that the English version of Cardinal Roche's document is a poor translation of the Italian: “The Italian word sintonia, which means ‘harmony’, was rendered ‘syntony’ (para. 4). It is surprising that an English Cardinal should have missed this howler, and it suggests that he didn’t write the document personally.” Cardinal Roche’s Threefold Argument Shaw then summarizes Cardinal Roche’s threefold argument: - that the Catholic liturgy has always changed through an ongoing process of organic reform; - that Vatican II mandated liturgical reform; - and that liturgical unity is essential to the unity of the Church. The final claim is illustrated with quotations drawn from several popes. Legitimate Diversity of Rites Shaw observes that the appeal …بیشتر
ترجمه به زبان فارسی پیامی به مسلمانان نیکخواه و با امیدی استوار به آزادی واقعی. مسیح در انتظار توست و تو با تجربه شخصی خود، ریشهدار بودن معنا و ارزش ایمان مسیحی را خواهی دید. شجاع باش و نترس؛ عیسی، خدای راستین و انسان کامل، با توست. «همه چیز برای تو، ای قلب مقدس عیسی» نکته: گزارشهای مختلف از نهادهای مسیحی حاکی از آن است که نزدیک به ۵۰,۰۰۰ مسجد از حدود ۷۵,۰۰۰ مسجد در ایران در سالهای اخیر از فعالیت بازماندهاند یا عملاً خالی هستند، که عمدتاً به دلیل کاهش شدید حضور مردم است. بحران اقتصادی، سرکوب رژیم و تحمیل سختگیرانه قوانین اسلامی باعث ناامیدی عمیق در میان مردم شده است، به ویژه پس از خشونتهای اعمال شده علیه زنانی که علیه قوانین حجاب دست به اعتراض زدند. در میان این فضای ناامیدی، شمار فزایندهای از ایرانیان — که برخی برآوردها تعداد آنها را بین صدها هزار تا سه میلیون نفر تخمین میزنند — در حال یافتن امیدی تازه در عیسی مسیح هستند. بسیاری از آنها از رویاروییهای شخصی با عیسی از طریق رؤیاها و خوابها سخن میگویند؛ تجربیاتی که آنها را واقعی، عمیق و تحولآفرین توصیف میکنند. این دیدارهای …بیشتر

1st book of Samuel 1,1-8. There was a certain man from Ramathaim, Elkanah by name, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah; Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless. This man regularly went on pilgrimage from his city to worship the LORD of hosts and to sacrifice to him at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were ministering as priests of the LORD. When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice, he used to give a portion each to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters, but a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, though the LORD had made her barren. Her rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her that the LORD had left her barren. This went on year after year; each time they made their pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the LORD, Peninnah would approach her, and Hannah would weep and …بیشتر

Cardinal Arthur Roche distributed at Leo XIV’s consistory last week a text on liturgy. Journalist Nico Spuntoni published the two-page report (facsimile below). It is a strong defence of Traditionis Custodes. The report was one of four texts distributed to the cardinals. The others were written by Cardinals Tucho (Faith), Grech (Synod) and Baggio (Human development). The strongest ideological rejection of the Mass in the Roman rite is in four quotations taken from Francis in the report's points 9, 10 and 11: - “For this reason we cannot go back to that ritual form which the Council Fathers, cum Petro et sub Petro, felt the need to reform.” - “The use of liturgical books that the Council sought to reform was… a concession that in no way envisaged their promotion.” - “The liturgical books promulgated by the holy Popes Paul VI and John Paul II… are the sole expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.” - “I do not see how it is possible to say that one recognizes the validity of …بیشتر
Cardinal Mykola Bychok taking part in the Traditional Latin Pontifical High Mass celebrated by Bishop Columba Macbeth-Green in the Carmel of Elijah, Australia
57-ročný biskup Columba Macbeth-Green z Wilcannia-Forbes v Austrálii celebroval 10. januára svätú omšu rímskeho obradu v ženskom Karmelu Eliášovom v Mathoure v Novom Južnom Walese. Prítomný bol aj ukrajinský kardinál Mykola Bychok z Melbourne. Svätou omšou sa začala výstavba nového kláštora pre karmelitánky zasväteného rímskemu obradu.
No dia 10 de janeiro, o bispo Columba Macbeth-Green, 57 anos, de Wilcannia-Forbes, Austrália, celebrou uma missa de rito romano no Carmelo feminino de Elias em Mathoura, Nova Gales do Sul. O Cardeal ucraniano Mykola Bychok, de Melbourne, também esteve presente. A missa marcou o início da construção do novo mosteiro para as freiras carmelitas dedicado ao rito romano.
During the recent consistory, the meeting of cardinals in Rome, Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, handed out a two-sided piece of paper containing some reflections on the liturgy to those present: this has been made available by Diane Montagna here. The liturgy had been among the four topics originally proposed for discussion at the meeting, but the cardinals decided to focus on just two, leaving the liturgy out. Cardinal Roche’s document was accordingly handed out without being formally discussed. Versions were available in Italian and in English. The latter was clearly translated from the former, and not flawlessly: the Italian word sintonia, which means ‘harmony’, was rendered ‘syntony’ (para 4). It is surprising that an English Cardinal should have missed this howler, and it suggests that he didn’t write the document personally. The argument of the text is not difficult to summarise. First, it makes historical argument that the liturgy has often …
Az Una Voce válaszol Roche kardinális konzisztóriumának a hagyományos misével kapcsolatos jelentésére A közelmúltban Rómában tartott konzisztóriumon, a kardinálisok találkozóján Arthur Roche kardinális, az Istentiszteleti Dikasztérium prefektusa egy kétoldalas papírt osztott ki a jelenlévőknek, amelyen néhány gondolatot fogalmazott meg a liturgiáról: ezt Diane Montagna tette közzé itt. A liturgia az eredetileg a találkozón megvitatásra javasolt négy téma között volt, de a kardinálisok úgy döntöttek, hogy csak kettőre koncentrálnak, a liturgiát kihagyva. Roche bíboros dokumentumát ennek megfelelően formális megvitatás nélkül osztották szét. A dokumentum olasz és angol nyelven is elérhető volt. Az utóbbi nyilvánvalóan az előbbiből lett lefordítva, és nem hibátlanul: az olasz sintonia szót, amely „harmóniát” jelent, „syntony”-nak fordították (4. bekezdés). Meglepő, hogy egy angol kardinálisnak ez a baklövés elkerülte a figyelmét, ami arra utal, hogy nem ő …بیشتر
Mon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:18 pm ESTMon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:30 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — The former president of Ireland claimed that infant baptism violates children’s human rights. The Irish Times published an excerpt from a recent talk by Mary McAleese at University College Cork (UCC), in which the heterodox Catholic made her case against infant baptism. “Throughout the world, there continues a long-standing, systemic and overlooked severe restriction on children’s rights with regard to religion,” the former president of Ireland wrote. “It restricts children’s rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948 and United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989, to which both Ireland and the Holy See – which governs the Catholic Church and is effectively the author of canon law – are State Parties.” McAleese, who was president of Ireland from 1997 to 2011, argued that children are restricted in their religious freedom by infant baptism, to …
Traditional celebration of the Baptism of Christ at Jordan River | Shalom World News Each year, as the Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord, the Christian community of the Holy Land gather along the banks of the Jordan River, retracing the sacred steps of Jesus as he was baptized by Saint John the Baptist. This time-honored celebration, woven into the fabric of Church history, marks the close of the Christmas season and invites both faithful and pilgrims to reflect on the profound meaning of their own baptism. The ceremony unfolds at Qasr al-Yahud, a site on the western bank of the Jordan near Jericho, revered by tradition as the exact spot where Jesus immersed himself in the river. Today, the site welcomes pilgrims from near and far, setting the stage for vibrant processions and liturgies that unite friars, local believers, and visitors from parishes in Jericho, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Beit Hanina.
Yesterday I finished my lesson about five minutes early and told my students they could just sit and talk to each other until the bell. Almost immediately, a handful of phones came out. I stopped them. “No phones today. I want you to actually talk to each other.” There was a unified sigh of annoyance… and then something both beautiful and unsettling happened. Within a few minutes, a few desks came to life — kids were looking one another in the eye, asking questions, laughing, building real conversations. It was genuinely heartwarming to watch. But many of them froze. They didn’t know what to do without a screen delivering entertainment. Some lowered their heads. Some stared at their hands. Some avoided eye contact completely. I walked over and tried to help them get a conversation going. A few could force out a sentence or two — most had no idea where to start. I’m sharing this not as a complaint, but as a warning shot for parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches — anyone raising …بیشتر
People in Iran have been suffering for a long time, but hopefully the situation “will not conclude in more violence and bloodshed”, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem told VaticanNews.va on 13 January. No one, he added, can deny the desire for life, dignity, and justice that is part of the identity of every person. Israeli Attacks Sow Death despite "Ceasefire" in Gaza His Patriarchate covers different countries with different dynamics, Cardinal Pizzaballa explained: “Our diocese is complicated.” The situation in Gaza remains one of “total devastation”. Despite the declaration of a ceasefire in October and the consequent halt to blanket bombing of the Strip, targeted Israeli attacks continue to sow death and destruction: “People keep dying, not only because of the cold, but also because of a lack of medicines, including antibiotics.” In the West Bank, permits are denied, movement is severely restricted, and settler attacks affect “the most basic aspects of community life”. …بیشتر
Except that it's not a Catholic country being a papal state. It is a state enshrined under a vicious false religion that enslaves and degrades its people. Another version of secularism combined with a bawl of allah akbar.

What people don't know and they will not tell nor show about Iran right now! Patrick and Danny argue that widespread media narratives portraying Iran as on the brink of regime change are misleading and heavily shaped by Western disinformation. Guest analyst Patrick Henningsen claims many viral protest videos are recycled, staged, or AI-generated, and pushed by coordinated sock-puppet accounts linked to U.S. and Israeli interests. He says Western media largely ignores massive pro-government demonstrations inside Iran. According to Henningsen, U.S. and Israeli officials—including figures like Mike Pompeo—have openly telegraphed the involvement of Mossad and other foreign actors in fomenting unrest, using classic “agent provocateur” tactics to provoke violence and justify escalation. He argues President Trump’s rhetoric about protecting Iranian protesters effectively signals a pretext for military action if violence occurs. The discussion also highlights alleged funding of Western social …بیشتر
