Cardinal Marx Ignored "Great Concern" of Benedict XVI Over German Synod

An unprecedented episode involving Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich occurred in 2021. It was published by Nico Spuntoni in IlGiornale.it on January 17.
Benedict XVI contacted his successor as Archbishop of Munich to express his “great concern” about the synodal process in Germany. He was convinced that this Synodal Path would cause harm and would end badly if it were not stopped.
Cardinal Marx ignored the appeal of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Additional information concerning the German Synod
On January 17, Pope Leo XIV received Archbishop Nikola Eterović, the Apostolic Nuncio to Berlin, to discuss the German bishops’ statute for a proposed Synodal Council. This body would start in 2026, be permanent and would grant lay members decision-making power.
Furthermore, Spuntoni reveals that Cardinal Marx called during the January 7–8 consistory for the introduction of female deacons. He is the principal architect of the German synodal process.

Valet to Three Popes Dies at 90

Angelo Gugel, the longtime papal valet who worked for three popes, has died in Rome at the age of 90, reports Vatican media.
Appointed in 1978 by John Paul I, the “33-day pope,” Gugel went on to serve John Paul II throughout his nearly 27-year pontificate. He retired at the beginning of the papacy of Benedict XVI, at the age of 70.
Known for his immaculate appearance, he preserved strict discretion even after retirement.
From the Gendarmerie to the Papal Household
Born on 27 April 1935 in Miane, in Italy’s Veneto region, Gugel joined the Vatican Gendarmerie at the age of 20.
After a serious bout of tuberculosis, he was transferred to the administration of the Vatican City State. Albino Luciani, his former bishop in Vittorio Veneto and a family acquaintance, personally chose him as valet after being elected pope.
When John Paul I died unexpectedly on 28 September 1978, Gugel was among the few people present in the papal bedroom.

Florida governor candidate James Fishback proposes 50% 'sin tax' on OnlyFans - LifeSite

Fri Jan 16, 2026 - 3:59 pm EST
(
LifeSiteNews) — Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback has pitched a unique proposal to curb the influence of the pornography industry: a 50 percent “sin tax” on income earned by OnlyFans creators. OnlyFans is a creator-run porn site that connects porn performers directly to fans, who pay a monthly subscription fee for content. “Creators” keep about 80 percent of earnings, while the platform, which launched in London in 2016, takes 20 percent.
OnlyFans has exploded in popularity over the past decade. As of 2025, the platform has over 4 million “creator accounts” (not all of them feature pornography), and over 305 million “fan accounts,” with an estimated annual revenue of over $6.6 billion. Industry watchers and journalists frequently refer to OnlyFans as “the future of porn.”
“My message to the owners of OnlyFans is get the hell out of our state,” Fishback explained. “I hope you get bankrupt. Don’t you dare come to my state and try …

Rome Seals Jubilee; Hope Endures Beyond Doors | Shalom World News
As the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope has come to a close on 6 January 2026, a solemn ceremony took place on Tuesday night, January 13, as the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore was sealed in a ceremonial rite led by Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, with Monsignor Ľubomír Welnitz and Fr Diego Giovanni Ravelli in attendance. A bronze box was placed within the wall, containing the closing protocol, keys, pontifical medals dating back to 2016, and a commemorative basilica medal. Similar rites are scheduled for the Basilica of Saint John Lateran (Wednesday), Saint Paul Outside the Walls (Thursday), and St. Peter’s Basilica (Friday) as part of the Jubilee’s conclusion. The Jubilee, opened by Pope Francis on Christmas Eve 2024 and officially concluded by Pope Leo, invites the faithful to deeper conversion and mercy.

St. Anthony’s Fire Through the Vision of Hieronymus Bosch
Hieronymus Bosch has one of the most complex and phantasmagoric bodies of work that exceeds the imagination of any other Renaissance artist. His violent, fantastical paintings are enigmas of their time, both in surreal imagery and hellish content, are viscerally provocative. The complexity and beauty of his work is completely unmatched in terms of skill and intricacy, and he exceeds any standard held by any other Renaissance artist in this sense. Colloquially known as St. Anthony’s Fire, ergotism caused symptoms such as the sensation that your skin is on fire, gangrene and decay of the limbs. Due to the consumption of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) inside the ergot, vivid hallucinations occurred alongside those. As a devout follower of St. Anthony (the namesake of this illness) and member of a very charitable organization that tended to victims of ergotism, Hieronymus Bosch had a significant closeness to victims of St. Anthony’s …Bebree

"Why would you want someone else's Nobel Prize?"

A reporter confronted Trump Friday afternoon over his acceptance of a gift award that he did not win, asking “Why would you want somebody else’s Nobel Prize?”
Trump has been foreshadowing that he would be honored to accept the Nobel Peace Prize from 2025 recipient María Corina Machado. After reporting that suggested her failure to refuse the prize contributed to Trump’s decision not to support her, Machado told Sean Hannity she’d love to give her award to the president.
Machado and Trump closed the deal on Thursday at the White House, although the honor that goes with the award is non-transferable.

Has Machado’s Nobel Prize, but Neither Got What They Really Wanted
nytimes.com/…6/01/16/us/politics/trump-machado- …
President Trump has María Corina Machado’s medal, but he is not recognized as the prize laureate. Ms. Machado did not win Mr. Trump’s endorsement to become Venezuela’s president.
Ever since President Trump first took office in 2017, he has been obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize, and has made no effort to hide his deep sense of injustice that President Barack Obama won it in 2009 for, in the eyes of the Nobel committee, his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
Mr. Trump has a different view, which he offered in an interview with The New York Times last week: Mr. Obama “was there for a few weeks, and he got it. He didn’t even know why he got it.” Mr. Trump then recited the now-familiar list of “eight wars” he claims to have stopped.

Tucho Demotes Doctrine While Baggio Decentralizes the Church

Rome dates its propaganda with charming precision. January 8, 2026. Two curial pieces, two polished smiles, one message: the postconciliar project lives; it merely changes its wardrobe. Leo XIV “asks us to reread” Evangelii gaudium and the machine obediently hums. Fernández offers the theological perfume, Baggio provides the managerial blueprint. Together they perform the same trick the system has performed for sixty years: reduce the Catholic faith to a warm nucleus, demote everything that makes it Catholic to “secondary,” then call the demolition “reform,” “listening,” and “mission.”
They claim to be rescuing the heart of the Gospel. They are, in fact, burying it under a therapeutic slogan, a sociological program, and a bureaucracy trained to treat dogma as clutter.
Fernández begins with an order: reread Evangelii gaudium, as though a document’s relevance is created by papal fiat rather than by fidelity to what Christ handed down. He insists it “did not expire,” and then reveals …

Vatican satanists are intelligently using Vatican 2 and we should not accept such discourse. By slapping "sede" label they alienate us from majority of orthodox but lukewarm Catholics. To Vatican satanists it's much more dangerous to talk about 2013 coup that brought this satanic regime even though they were present in Vatican for over a century.
