Bishop Strickland : When The Council Becomes The Compass

My Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move.
What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice.
There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process.
And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it.
From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …More

‘I Didn’t Know About Epstein’s Crimes Because I’m Gay’: Disgraced Former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson Uses the ‘Gay Card’ To Try To Evade Responsibility – Allah's Willing Executioners

Mandelson and Epstein goi shopping in the US Virgin Islands.
Mandelson thinks we are all gullible simpletons.
Disgraced former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Mandelson, has claimed to have been ‘kept in the dark’ about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes ‘because he was gay’.
The Telegraph reported:
“The peer was sacked as ambassador to the United States last year after it emerged [that] he had urged the financier to fight for early release from prison.
Lord Mandelson claimed that, because of his sexuality, he was ‘kept separate from what [Epstein] was doing in the sexual side of his life’.”

He described Epstein as his ‘best pal’, but argues he was kept ‘at the edge of this man’s life’.
“In his first interview since losing his job, Lord Mandelson refused to apologize to Epstein’s victims for writing to him after his conviction for sex offences, claiming he was not culpable for any of Epstein’s criminal activity.”
Even a Labour Cabinet minister was led to say he had been guilty of …

Don Curzio Nitoglia: The Genesis of the Talmud

ISRAEL/EUGENIO ZOLLI defines the Talmud as the “great corpus of rabbinic traditions” (1).
RICCARDO CALIMANI describes it thus: “A rabbinic belief, which over time spread more and more and became authoritative, came to maintain that Moses had received the total Torah [= Law, ed.] on Mount Sinai, both in written form: Torah or Pentateuch, and in oral form, Mishnah.
Transmitted to Joshua and from him to the elders and then, gradually […], it was entrusted to the memory of the men who materially wrote it. In this new light, the Mishnah […] acquires, as an oral Law transcribed after the Revelation on Sinai, an enormous importance […]. It is not surprising, therefore, that countless commentaries arose from it […].
The amoraim (literally: speakers) were those teachers who, between the 3rd and 5th centuries approximately [AD], succeeded the tannaim (repeaters, teachers, from the 1st to the 3rd century) and gave life to a great commentary called Gemara which, added to the Mishnah, took the …More

Shame on you trumphaters

Question: "Do you know ANY EXILED Venezuelan who isn’t thankful to president Trump?"
Take your time....
You don’t? Let me give you a hint... 0 , I was married to one, her entire family is living either in Florida or Chile, they don’t have sweet words for the regime and they don’t care about Trump's methods or his desire to get Venezuelan oil.
The horror some of my friends endured, one of my friends had to sell her apartment and the family business (2 bakeries), 2 out 6 employees of my sister's business had to do odd related jobs to try and get established despite having an university degree and spent a small fortune to study them (business admin and agricultural engineering).
A friend of mine, sold her apartment for US 10k, despite costing her 110k, decided to immigrate when goons appeared in her bakeries and threatened with high caliber weapons, placed in her brother's neck, to kill him if she didn't surrender their 2 suv's, after that close encounter, they fled the regime.

'State of disaster' declared as Australia battles bushfires during extreme heatwave

Part of Australia's Victoria state has been declared a disaster zone after dozens of fires tore through 300,000 ​hectares, destroying homes, during an extreme heatwave.
The state's premier, Jacinta Allan, said that around 30,000 homes and businesses are also currently without power.
In an update on X, she said there were currently 10 major fire fronts and further 20 fires being closely monitored. "Conditions remain dangerous and unpredictable," Ms Allan added.
Among those, there were 16 emergency warnings - the highest category - for major fires at Walwa, Longwood, Wonnangatta and Ravenswood.
In the town of Malmsbury, 55 miles (88km) northwest of Melbourne, local fire crews posted footage of teams tackling a blaze.

We returned to our home as it was all clear and it was untouched by bushfire but we received another alert saying wind changed direction and to leave immediately as it was heading literally towards our area and I surrendered in Faith the home to God and put Blessed Holy Water on the house and we had to leave again and found out later the wind changed direction going away from our place back towards the main fire front towns.

Leo XIV Will Not Bury Francis – Tucho on Continuity between Popes

Leo XIV will certainly introduce changes with respect to the previous pontificate, but the challenge posed by Evangelii Gaudium "cannot" be buried — Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández told the consistory on January 7–8. His intervention was published by his friends of ReligionDigital.org.
“In fact, Evangelii Gaudium specifies that it is not an obsessive proclamation of all the doctrines and norms of the Church, although necessary and valuable, but above all the proclamation of the core of the Gospel, the kerygma.”
Tucho believes that "creativity is needed" to ensure that the proclamation reaches everyone.
Protestant-sounding language
He argues for an alleged “need to remain open to reforming our practices, styles, and organizations.”
Even if denied, he uses the phrase “not out of an obsession with change” and wants “inculturating anew”.
He then invokes the anti-Catholic slogan “Ecclesia semper reformanda”, drawn from Reformed theological literature.
Tucho also argues against …More

There are fake videos made by those who support trump and his crimes. They are even posted on gtv! If you look closely at them, you can tell it's fake. But for some, they won't bother to look or admit it.

Elon Musk falls for 'transparently fake' video of Venezuelans thanking Trump

Tesla founder and rabid supporter of President Donald Trump Elon Musk shared a video late Saturday of what appears to be Venezuelans “crying on their knees thanking Trump” for his hostile takeover of Venezuela, but critics were quick to point out that Musk – as did many other prominent MAGA figures – appeared to have fallen for a "transparently fake” video.
Initially posted by right-wing influencer “Wall Street Apes” to their more than 1.2 million followers, the video depicts several apparent Venezuelans celebrating in the streets, with one thanking Trump for his administration’s attack on Venezuela while fighting back tears.
Musk would go on to share the video on his own social media account, but critics were quick to point out that the video was almost certainly generated with generative artificial intelligence, claims that were later supported by X’s own crowd-based fact-checking service known as “Community Notes.”
“Notice how all of the shill accounts went mega viral using …

"Wherefore, know, that at the moment of death, they, having passed their life under the lordship of the Devil (not that they were forced to do so, for as I told you they cannot be forced, but they voluntarily put themselves into his hands), and, arriving at the extremity of their death under this perverse lordship, they await no other judgment than that of their own conscience, and desperately, despairingly, come to eternal damnation. Wherefore Hell, through their hate, surges up to them in the extremity of death, and before they get there, they take hold of it, by means of their lord the Devil."

Massachusetts father wins injunction against school that pushed LGBT books on 5-year-old son - LifeSite

Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 5:27 pm ESTFri Jan 9, 2026 - 8:36 pm EST
LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (
LifeSiteNews) — A Massachusetts father has won a preliminary injunction against a local school district that had insisted on exposing his five-year-old son to pro-LGBTQ books.
The case pitted a devout Christian father – cited as Alan L., father of J.L. in court documents – against the Lexington Public School District (LPSD) and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School (JEES).
The father objected to the content of certain books concerning sexual themes and contended that his child has been compelled “to participate in classroom instruction that promote[s] sexualized and ideological messages directly contrary to his family’s faith.”
He also contended that as a parent, he had the right to be notified before his son is exposed to objectionable sexual material and to be able to opt his child out of lessons and other classroom activities involving those materials.
Before bringing a civil suit before the court, …

Padre Peregrino to Chris Jackson:
I know you wrote on Pope Paul IV's Apostolic Constitution "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio" a month ago, so it's important to highlight again that his document insists that if a heretic be raised to the Chair of Peter, it is "null, void and worthless... even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals." Those last 16 words absolutely destroy the modern-myth of "Universal Acceptance." It also means a public heretic is easily recognizable by your average blue-collar Catholic, even before any intellectuals get to the advanced topic of formal canonical trials.

Why “Universal Peaceful Acceptance” Can’t Save the Conciliar Church

Why “Universal Peaceful Acceptance” Can’t Save the Conciliar Church
Why “everyone agrees he’s pope” was never the Catholic rule of faith – and how that myth now props up a church that blesses sin and rewrites its own past.
If you’ve spent any time arguing with the new papalist influencers, you know the script.
“Leo XIV was universally accepted by the bishops. Paul VI was universally accepted. John Paul II, Benedict, Francis, Leo – all universally accepted. Therefore it is infallibly certain they were and are true popes. Therefore anything they teach cannot truly contradict the pre-conciliar magisterium. Therefore if you think adulterers at Communion, blessings of homosexual couples, and the reversal on the death penalty clash with the prior faith, the problem is you.”
In other words, “universal peaceful acceptance” has become the magic spell that makes every contradiction vanish. The living episcopal club cannot be wrong about the man in white, so you must be wrong about what …

It should be noted, however, that the situation after Vatican II is somewhat different from that of a pope who fell into heresy. Essentially, with the council, a new church emerged and then developed, which Paul VI called "conciliar." This structure is not the same as the Catholic Church; they are not the same thing. A conciliar church is like a neocatechumenate within the conciliar church. That is, a conciliar church is a sect within the Catholic Church. And its enormous size should not disturb us, since the historical precedent of the Arian heresy showed that 97-99% of bishops can very well be heretics. This is where the main question arises: did all these conciliar popes ever act as popes of the Catholic Church (even if both the electors and those elected believed this to be the case)? I believe not. They never spent a single day fulfilling the functions of popes of the Catholic Church, even if they believed that was what they were doing. Their entire lives were spent within the …More

Prayer to be said in front of a picture of the Holy Family

O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion. Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she may offer them to Jesus Christ.
Amen.

NEW FACTS HAVE COME TO LIGHT IN THE MICHAEL VORIS - GEORGES DE LAIRE CASE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Now we have two new important facts
1 about Vatican Council II which were not known in the case filed by Fr. Georges de Laire against Michael Voris.
The reports by Christopher White of the National Catholic Reporter and Simcha and Damien Fisher were biased during the trial. They interpreted the Council irrationally like Fr. Georges de Laire.
There still is no correction or apology, from all of them and neither from the Vatican.
Fr. Laire was presenting dogma as being heresy,as was mentioned in the original article on Church Militant TV which the judge did not consider. Laire was then forcing this lie upon Brother Andre Maire micm, the Prior at the St.Benedict Center and upon Michael Voris and Church Militant TV . - Lionel Andrades
