Police deployed to churches across Staten Island: On Friday morning, a man stormed the Eucharist at St Ann's Church in Dongan Hills, Staten Island, in the Archdiocese of New York. The police were called to the scene and attempted to escort the man out. The situation quickly escalated into a violent struggle at the altar table. Flowers were knocked over, forcing the priest to step aside. After breaking free and throwing punches at officers, the man was ultimately subdued with a Taser. He was arrested and taken to hospital for evaluation. This incident is the latest in a troubling series of crimes targeting Catholic churches across Staten Island. The New York City Police Department has increased patrols and visibility at churches.
The NYPD have deployed police to churches across Staten Island this weekend due to increased attacks on Christians, including a man who STORMED the altar during Mass last week
The French actress and sex symbol of the 1960s, Brigitte Bardot, aged 91, was laid to rest on 7 January after a funeral Eucharist in Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera. Celebrated by the parish priest, the Novus Ordo service included mostly profane music, such as the score of Contempt, the 1963 Jean-Luc Godard film in which Bardot starred. On 17 January, Jeanne Smits published an obituary on LifeSiteNews.com, correcting journalists who had one-sidedly referred to a 2024 interview in which Bardot described herself as a 'traditionalist', recalling the Mass of her childhood. Denying Eternal Life Bardot was not a practising Catholic. Although she called herself a believer, she wrote in her 2018 autobiography Larmes de combat (Tears of Battle): "It's the afterlife that's awful; what the body becomes is dirty. I don’t know if life after death exists. I don't know, and I don't necessarily hope that it does. What kind of mess could await us on the other side? We might as well sleep. Forever..." …තව
This is a tragedy. She grew up when the red-hot liberals were sneaking out of their demonic spaces and began invading the mainstream church. I am sure that many in her age group abandoned the church and have never come back.
Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, 76, of Managua, Nicaragua, did not attend the consistory held in Rome on 7–8 January. He stated that he was not invited, claiming that he had checked his emails, WhatsApp messages and communications from the College of Cardinals. However, on 8 January, senior Church sources told LaPrensaNi.com that Cardinal Brenes had received an invitation to participate in the consistory but had refused to go for undisclosed reasons. The sources also indicated that there may be ongoing or attempted negotiations with the Nicaraguan government. The Church has faced sustained confrontation with the Ortega regime, resulting in persecution, restrictions on religious activity and the forced exile of several bishops.

So..., not a 'computer guy'.... One does have to wonder, however, if he was as oblivious as this about checking his "social media" (in itself not necessarily a bad thing; some prelates - Prevost anyone? - are on it way too much!) before opening his mouth, is this really the kind of 'leadership' the Church requires at the moment ?!
But one should realize it is a modernist mass. Why do you think you have the right to act in a Catholic way? If you want to receive Holy Communion in the Tridentine rite, kneeling on the tongue go to a Roman Catholic Mass.
Is there a homo agenda behind the attack on Venezuela? ----------- My comment: I fully agree with him and share his concerns! In Venezuela, all abortions and the entire LGBT agenda are banned. This is crucial because, for true conservatives, pro-life and pro-family values come first. Compared to pro-life and pro-family values, economic right-wing or economic left-wing, just like everything else, completely secondary!

NOW we have really "jumped the shark" when so-called "conservatives" are decrying the arrest of a socialist dictator who trafficked in narcotics because he "was against homosexuality and Israel"! No, the "enemy of my enemy is not my friend" No sympathy for him and good riddance!
Korey LaVergne, 37, jailed Friday evening on three counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile, according to officials Authorities in south-west Louisiana recently arrested a Roman Catholic priest on accusations of behaving indecently with a child, igniting a new scandal in the diocese where the US church’s reckoning with clergy abuse began – an institution that just disclosed it could lose up to $162m over pending litigation. Korey LaVergne was jailed Friday evening on three counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile, according to Acadia parish sheriff KP Gibson, whose agency arrested the priest. LaVergne had presided over mass at St Edward church in Richard – where the Lafayette diocese had assigned him as pastor – hours before he was booked into the Acadia lockup. Records showed LaVergne made bail in the amount of $15,000 less than 90 minutes after he was jailed to secure his release from custody pending the outcome of the case.
