13% of a U.S. Diocese Try "Ad Orientem" Eucharists

Throughout 2025, Bishop Daniel Felton of Duluth, Minnesota, has "permitted" nine parishes in the diocese to celebrate the Eucharist ad orientem, with the priest and congregation facing the same direction.
The "permissions" were granted following requests from parish priests and on a trial basis.
Bishop Felton began with an instruction issued in 2024. He wrote that celebrating the Eucharist facing the pews has been widely adopted in the Church since the Second Vatican Council. He added that some Catholics believe this posture has resulted in a loss of 'a sense of transcendence'. Bishop Felton required that both liturgical postures be treated with mutual respect. Priests had to explain their motivations for celebrating ad orientem to him personally and consult their parishioners beforehand.
The frequency of the posture varied by parish. Some communities celebrated ad orientem every Sunday, while others did so once a month.
The Diocese of Duluth comprises 69 parishes. The nine parishes …More

Instaurare Omnia in Christo

The Chastisement already began with migration, crimes of our governments. Killing off animals, our crops, abortions and so on. I am not worried about it. I welcome it. It's greatest in Ukraine. The most corrupt country in the world. As every evil person in control said, we will fight till the last Ukrainian. Which is their goal. They use Russia to do their dirty work. Knowing full well they can't win against Russia.
Then we have trump saying, now is not the time for that. Now is not the time for that. Meaning the attempted assassination of President Putin.
The Illumination of our souls is what I want. I rather see all my sins I didn't confess or remember now. Rather than later when I can't do a thing about them. I am not looking forward though to GOD'S anger, disappointments and sadness. That will break my heart. But it's best we know now so we can confess them than to stand before Our Lord when we die.
It's possible it's Kurt. People are still upset and are confused and very sad over …More

Number of Catholic priests continues to decline worldwide as traditional societies grow - LifeSite

Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 5:52 pm EST
(
LifeSiteNews) — The number of Catholic priests and seminarians has recently declined worldwide, according to newly released statistics from 2023, as priestly societies devoted to offering the traditional Latin Mass continue to grow.
The total number of priests worldwide dropped by 734 from 2022 to 2023 despite a 16 million increase in the number of Catholics, according to the most recently available data, published by the Vatican agency Fides. The number of seminarians during that period also declined proportionately by 1,986, affirming that the longstanding Church crisis has been continuing at least until recently.
The year 2023 saw a total of 406,996 Catholic priests, according to Fides, a count that presumably does not include priests of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), which numbered 733 as of November 1, 2025, not including its bishops.
The SSPX, by contrast, the largest society of traditional priests, has seen a steady growth in its number of …

So much more I would like to write
But what for?
I will not break the wall of unbelief alone
Pretty photos and images, and in souls boundless emptiness
Maybe it’s good that I will leave like this
I will not remember how much evil I have done
So much, O God, I would like to tell You, but time is already running out
I will rise, though strength is gone
How far I will go—only You know….
Days have grown short, nights long
I weep, yet not a single tear falls

Time of Forgetting

So much, O God, I would like to tell You
So much I would still like to do
I sink into unawareness
Into the forgetting of all things
Sometimes the soul weeps, though these are not my tears
Again the walls, the crowns of thorns of life.
It is so hard for me to rise
To lift the cross and walk on
The darkness from which You pulled me is already so close
The soul no longer screams
The heart no longer cries
So much, O God, I would like to tell You…
So much to do…
Why don’t You take me away?
Why? Please, tell me!
Memory fades, and with it awareness
That having You, Lord, a human is never alone.
So much more I would like to write
But what for?
I will not break the wall of unbelief alone
Pretty photos and images, and in souls boundless emptiness
Maybe it’s good that I will leave like this
I will not remember how much evil I have done
So much, O God, I would like to tell You, but time is already running out
I will rise, though strength is gone
How far I will go—only You know….

Pope Leo finally talks about abortion

ADDRESS OF POPE LEO XIV
TO MEMBERS OF THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS ACCREDITED TO THE HOLY SEE

Hall of Benediction
Friday, 9 January 2026

In light of these challenges, we firmly reiterate that the protection of the right to life constitutes the indispensable foundation of every other human right. A society is healthy and truly progresses only when it safeguards the sanctity of human life and works actively to promote it.
The primary objective must remain the protection of every unborn child and the effective and concrete support of every woman so that she is able to welcome life.
In light of this profound vision of life as a gift to be cherished, and of the family as its responsible guardian, we categorically reject any practice that denies or exploits the origin of life and its development. Among these is abortion, which cuts short a growing life and refuses to welcome the gift of life. In this regard, the Holy See expresses deep concern about projects aimed at financing cross-border mobility …More

Now is not the time for that. Now is not the time for that. Which clearly shows he is in on it the whole time.
Also remember, handing gates from hell over a billion dollars to continue his poison vax's. And surrounding himself with the most evil people imaginable. Including Lindsey G. Pretending they hated each other. But then trump …More

ANTIPOPE bergoglio and ANTIPOPE prevost and their accomplices are servants of satan, and they are enemies of JESUS CHRIST while they attempt to destroy the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH instituted by JESUS CHRIST, and to also destroy souls as the servants of satan always work to get souls to choose the path to hell.
The ANTIPOPE bergoglio and the ANTIPOPE prevost continue to seduce souls to remain in their mortal sins, and this will result in the eternal ruin/damnation of each soul including their own souls of anyone who-so-ever of free will commits mortal sin, remains in mortal sin, and then dies unrepentant in mortal sin.

Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop of Cape Town - Considers Protestants Part of the Church

Pope Leo XIV named Monsignor Sithembele Anton Sipuka, 65, as Archbishop of Cape Town on January 9. He succeeds Cardinal Stephen Brislin, who was transferred to Johannesburg in October 2024.
Early Life and Formation
Sithembele Anton Sipuka was born on April 27, 1960, in Idutywa (Dutywa) in the Eastern Cape. Before entering seminary, he worked for two years as a post office clerk.
He was ordained a priest in 1988 for the Diocese of Queenstown, six years before the end of apartheid.
In 1992, he was sent to Rome to study at the Pontifical Urban University.
Rising Star in the Church
In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Sipuka as Bishop of Mthatha. The diocese is rural, located in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province, and has fewer than 40,000 Catholics.
Cape Town, by contrast, is one of South Africa’s most prominent sees, with approximately 280,000 Catholics.
From 2019 to 2023, Bishop Sipuka served as President of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
In July 2025, Pope Leo …More

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 …

Bishop Eleganti: "Papal Teaching Has Become Incoherent"

Documents such as Fiducia Supplicans on homosexual "blessings" or Mater Populi Fidelis on Our Lady need to be corrected and given a “true interpretation in the sense of the traditional doctrine” in order to remain coherent with tradition, retired Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti told Michael Haynes on 8 January for PelicanPlus.com (Blogger software Ghost.org):
"The biggest problem is that we have never had a situation like this before, where the Dicastery or the Magisterium of the Church has become inconsistent and incoherent. That’s the great problem. We have to correct that."
The Bishop added: "As we have seen with Fiducia Supplicans, there has been resistance to the document, and good theological arguments have been put forward against it. The document is not well founded. So, resistance is arising, and you can observe that, in a second note, Cardinal Fernández downplays it a little."
Regarding Islam, Bishop Eleganti said that he is not "so naive as to think that water and …More

Hound of Heaven

If the Papal 'teaching' is "inconsistent and incoherent", it does not follow or draw upon Christ's teachings which are the essence of consistency and coherency. Inconsistent and incoherent 'teachings' are nothing short of heresy. Any Pope worthy of the Seat would point that out and act accordingly.

“Thirdly, we have to consider that Mary was not only immune from the threefold woe of actual guilt, and from the threefold woe of original sin; but also from the threefold pain of hell. This threefold woe consists in the greatness, the multitude, and the duration of the punishments."

Musk reshares AI-generated Venezuelan celebration clip after US military operation

Following the shock capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from Caracas by US forces, a video allegedly showing triumphant demonstrations in the streets of the country spread via accounts with large followings, including a repost by X's billionaire owner Elon Musk. However, the clip does not depict authentic scenes and was originally posted by a dubious account bearing warped elements characteristic of artificial intelligence.
"Venezuelans are crying on their knees thanking Trump and America for freeing them from Nicolas Maduro," reads the caption of a January 3, 2026
video posted on X by Wall Street Apes, known for repeatedly spreading misinformation.
The clip appears to show a compilation of emotional people surrounded by Venezuelan flags who speak in Spanish about being "finally free."
Musk, who frequently amplifies fake reports and misleading claims, also reshared the video.
The visuals of supposedly exuberant crowds surged across X, Instagram, Threads, TikTok and …

The problem is, the left over trump base knows maga is dwindling down to nothing and they have to try everything in their power to prove trump did a great thing. A man who keeps committing one crime after the other. I think it's about time they watch the video's we post and see the truth and accept it about that man.

Flag Wars in Twee Town – Allah's Willing Executioners

@UK_Needs_Reform on X, 18 August 2025
Not much tends to happen down my way. A rural community, with pubs older than the United States, we have traditionally slept the
deep, deep sleep of England. Aside from the ubiquitous war memorial—currently dusted with snow—it bears little mark of the wider world, save for the names of those who left here and never returned.
Photo: Paul Birch
But such are the extraordinary times in which we live that even here, the culture wars arrived in 2025. Imagine my pleasant surprise when St. George flags and Union Jacks appeared, one sunny autumn morning, on virtually every lamp post down the local high street (one of which is pictured below). We had all seen the organic and viral proliferation of the ‘Raise the Colours’ movement in towns and cities across the country in response to crimes committed against women and girls, largely by migrants. But flag raising was something that happened elsewhere, not in our little backwater.

The Baptism of the Lord

This Sunday we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. It's a good time to renew our baptismal promises and assess how our Christian life is going. Make it the New Year's resolution of a lifetime. Are we truly living a life close to Christ as sons and daughters of the Father?
Here's the reflection of the day from the Magnificat. It's written by Blessed Columba Marmion who died in 1923. He was the abbot of of the Benedictine abbey of Maredsous, Belgium. It's titled, "One with Jesus in Baptism."
The mystery of the baptism of Jesus, which marks the beginning of his public life, contains, as it were, the summary of his whole mission here below. By the humiliation which he willed to undergo in receiving this rite of penance “for the remission of sins”—presage of his baptism of blood upon the Cross—“Christ fulfills all justice.”…
In return, the heavens are opened; the Eternal Father authentically introduces his Son to the world; the glorious splendour that this divine testimony reveals …

Outrage as Trump withdraws from key UN climate treaty along with dozens of international organisations

Outrage as Trump withdraws from key UN climate treaty along with dozens of international organisations

Donald Trump has sparked outrage by announcing the US will exit the foundational international agreement to address the climate crisis, cementing the US’s utter isolation from the global effort to confront dangerously escalating temperatures.
In
a presidential memorandum issued on Wednesday, Trump withdrew from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), along with 65 other organizations, agencies and commissions, calling them “contrary to the interests of the United States”.
The UNFCCC treaty forms the bedrock of international cooperation to deal with the climate crisis and has been agreed to by every country in the world since its inception 34 years ago. The US Senate ratified the treaty in October 1992.
Trump has, however, routinely ridiculed climate science as a “scam” and a “hoax” and has actively hobbled clean energy projects and other climate policies as president, attempting to force the US and other countries to stay wedded to the fossil fuels that are driving …
