"Môžem objať pápeža": Pápež Lev XIV. dnes večer privítal mladých ľudí z Rímskej diecézy v aule Pavla VI. Jeden z mladých účastníkov, ktorý bol vybraný, aby sa prihovoril, oslovil pápeža pri mikrofóne slovami: "Drahý pápež Lev, ďakujem ti za všetko, čo pre nás robíš. Máme ťa radi. Nie si sám. Môžeme ťa objať?" Potom mladý muž pristúpil k pápežovi Levovi XIV. a objal ho.

How is that a new governing style? Francis did essentially the same with this 'C-9 council', except that it involved only a select few cardinals, rather than the whole body.

Roman Rite NOT Discussed – Next Consistory in June

Several sources confirmed that the Mass in the Roman rite was not mentioned at the consistory on 7–8 January.
South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, 84, told Edward Pentin that the Roman Latin Mass was not discussed: "I think the main point was how to get the whole Church to evangelise at the same level."
Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, 63, of Algeria, confirmed to Niwa Limbu that they had not discussed any form of liturgy: "We talked about the importance of the Eucharist in the context. of synodality."
Only two dozen of the 170 cardinals were able to speak during the 'free interventions'.
Speaker of the Vatican press office Matteo Bruni added in the evening that future consistories will be held once a year and last 3–4 days. The next consistory is planned for 27–28 June.

Pope Leo XIV to diplomats: “War is back in vogue”

Leo XIV: “All Religions Quest for One Divine Mystery”

Pope Leo XIV met today with members of the Diplomatic Corps. Key points of his address largely drawing from St Augustine and Benedict XVI and Francis. Main phrases.
- This past year saw […] the return to the Father’s house of my venerable predecessor, Pope Francis. The whole world gathered around his coffin on the day of his funeral, and sensed the loss of a father who had guided the People of God with immense pastoral charity.
- The weakness of multilateralism is a particular cause for concern at the international level. A diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force, by either individuals or groups of allies.
Peace as Domination
- War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading.
- The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.
- “Peace” is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting …More

Archbishop Laterza’s comments about feminism caused such an uproar that he was forced to apologise. He shouldn’t have, he was right.

Archbishop Laterza Apologized for True Remarks About Feminism

Archbishop Giuseppe Laterza, 55, the Apostolic Nuncio to the Central African Republic and Chad, has apologized conditionally following criticism over remarks he made during an Advent homily - while at least defending the substance of his remarks.
Background to the Controversy
The controversy stems from a homily delivered on 20 December 2025 during the Christmas novena at Conversano Cathedral in southern Italy. During the sermon, Archbishop Laterza reflected on the Annunciation:
“Mary is truly free because she knows how to obey.
Mary is the freest woman in the world… we should tell this to some feminists.”

The homily was livestreamed on the cathedral’s official social media channels, and clips were later widely shared online. The phrase “ditelo alle femministe” (“tell that to feminists”) quickly became the focal point of public backlash.
Archbishop Laterza’s Response
Archbishop Laterza told La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno in an interview published on 22 December 2025 that his words had …More

Papal audience for Cardinal Pierre

Puppet Show During Eucharist: On December 27, the Sunday after Christmas, All Saints Church in Syracuse, New York, hosted a puppet show during the homily. Parish priest Rev. Frederick Daley admits to experiencing homosexual temptations. He invited a woman to present the performance. She has been staging what she calls "puppet liturgies" for over thirty years. The audience consisted of few elderly people.
During the show, the puppets asserted that the Holy Family—Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—were refugees. The presentation repeatedly drew parallels between the Gospel account and modern immigrants within the parish and the broader community. The audience was told that modern-day refugees should be understood as equivalent to the Holy Family and should not be viewed as strangers.

Parents for 2026: protect your children from the confusing verbal minefield of gender identity

What follows are some definitions and answers to a simple Google search on gender identity:
Gender identity examples include Cisgender (identifying with sex at birth, e.g., a man who was assigned male), Transgender (identifying differently from sex at birth, e.g., a trans man or woman), and non-binary identities like Agender (no gender), Genderfluid (shifts between genders), or Bigender (two genders), showcasing a spectrum beyond just man or woman. These reflect a person's inner sense of self, distinct from their body or sexual orientation, and can include terms like Genderqueer, Two-Spirit, or simply a personal sense of being male, female, both, or neither.
We find fourteen gender identities:
There are many different gender identities, including male, female, transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender, and all, none or a combination of these.
These are the sexual letters of the alphabet:

Puppentheater während der Eucharistie: Am 27. Dezember, dem Sonntag nach Weihnachten, fand in der All Saints Church in Syracuse, New York, während der Predigt ein Puppenspiel statt. Der Pfarrer der Gemeinde, Rev. Frederick Daley, gibt zu, dass er homosexuellen Versuchungen ausgesetzt war. Er lud eine Frau ein, das Stück vorzuführen. Sie inszeniert seit über dreißig Jahren so genannte "Puppenliturgien". Das Publikum bestand aus wenigen älteren Menschen.
Während der Aufführung behaupteten die Puppen, dass die Heilige Familie - Jesus, Maria und Josef - Flüchtlinge seien. In der Präsentation wurden immer wieder Parallelen zwischen dem Bericht im Evangelium und den modernen Einwanderern in der Gemeinde und der breiteren Gemeinschaft gezogen. Dem Publikum wurde gesagt, dass die heutigen Flüchtlinge als gleichwertig mit der Heiligen Familie zu verstehen sind und nicht als Fremde angesehen werden sollten.

Could reducing Sunday Mass locations be a key to increasing Catholic church attendance?

The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
LUXEMBURG — Since the 1800s, two institutions have been a constant for families in Luxemburg: Holy Trinity Catholic Church and Ungs Shopping Center.
At the small town’s four-way stop intersection, Holy Trinity’s steeple has towered over the town’s general store, just across the street from the church, since 1875. The Ungs family has been part of Luxemburg since the church’s first construction in 1857.
For decades, Mike Ungs, the fourth generation in his family to run the store for groceries, sundries and farm supplies, has watched the two change with the times — often in tandem.
Growing up, he remembers how hours at the family business used to be set around Mass.
“It used to be a big part of our business,” Ungs said. “You’d sell eight or 10 dozen doughnuts (on Sunday.) Sunday was family day, so people would pick up sliced meat for picnics.”
In the 1860s or 1870s, before it was sold to …

Cut the crap... the real problem is not enough priests - even with church attendance in single digits. Reduce Mass locations? That just means you "hope" people will care enough to travel to get to a N.O. Mass far from their locale so it will "look" full. But the decline is still happening! There is NO increase!!

Calif. school district says there are 29 sexual orientations | The College Fix

An education group has uncovered that the second largest school district in California promotes 29 different youth sexual orientations and nine gender identities in its “Equity and Belonging” website’s resources, with the website also stating a commitment to “dismantling systems of oppression.”
Senior director of Strategic Initiatives at Defending Education Paul Runko told The Center Square that San Diego Unified School District “is telling families that Title IX mandates gender-identity policies, despite the Biden administration’s 2024 Title IX rewrite being vacated nationwide.”
Defending Education is an organization dedicated to restoring schools “at all levels from activists imposing harmful agendas” and recently exposed the San Diego Unified policy.

The Diocese of Clifton is still funding an adoption charity that actively promotes same-sex adoption, years after the Church withdrew from adoption services over the same issue.

English Diocese Fosters Adoption By Homosexuals

The Diocese of Clifton in England, continues to support a charity that actively promotes adoption by homosexual couples, despite the Church’s formal withdrawal from adoption services because of this issue.
The 'Clifton Children’s Society' (CCS), formerly the 'Catholic Children’s Society' of the Diocese of Clifton, became a secular organisation in 2008. New regulations required adoption agencies to place children with homosexuals.
While many Catholic agencies closed or cut ties, the Diocese of Clifton continued to support CCS financially and institutionally.
The charity remains listed in the diocesan directory and is scheduled for an optional collection on 11 January 2026. It also receives funding through parish collections and diocesan schools.
CCS openly promotes homosexuals adoption, stating that over half of its children were given to homosexuals - more than double the national average.
Former Bishop Declan Lang of Clifton continued for years as the honorary president of CCS. Diocesan …More

Oh, dear, did he not hear of the case of the two homosexuals who recently adopted a little boy who was brutally sexually assaulted, and died of his injuries???

During the Christmas Eve (“Christmette”) service broadcast by ARD from St. Maria church in Stuttgart, an artistic installation replaced the traditional Baby Jesus figure.
The installation, by artist Milena Lorek, depicted an adult human form wrapped in a translucent membrane, intended to represent the vulnerability of the Incarnation.
The mass’s theme was “So viel Mensch war nie!” (“Never was there so much man!”), explained by celebrant Thomas Steiger as emphasizing Jesus’ humanity.
The display sparked widespread backlash on social media, with many viewers calling it offensive or inappropriate for a Christmas service.

Pope "of Universal Fraternity" Warns of "Rigidity" in Faith, Liturgy, Morals

In his Christmas address to the Roman Curia today, Pope Leo XIV praised his "beloved predecessor, Pope Francis": "His prophetic voice, his pastoral style and his rich magisterium have marked the Church's journey in recent years."
Francis encouraged "us" [pluralis majestatis] "to place God’s mercy at the centre, give renewed emphasis to evangelisation and be a joyful church that welcomes all and is attentive to the poorest".
Furthermore, Leo XIV warned that in the Church there are "forces of division may be at play": "We can fall into the temptation of swinging between two opposite extremes: uniformity that fails to value differences or, on the other hand, the exacerbation of different viewpoints instead of seeking communion."
Leo XIV wants to "build the communion of Christ in a synodal Church".
And: “When dealing with faith, liturgy, morality, or other matters, one risks falling victim to rigidity or ideology.”
He does not see his role as a gardener "who tends to his own plot", but as …More

The Vatican is facing a legal challenge at the European Court of Human Rights over the suspension of pensions for two former Vatican bank officials, Paolo Cipriani and Massimo Tulli. Both were convicted by Vatican courts for financial mismanagement and lost their pension payments, which they argue they are still entitled to receive. Although Vatican courts rejected their claims, they appealed to the Strasbourg court—a move seen less as a viable legal path, since it lacks jurisdiction over the Vatican, and more as an effort to draw international attention to the dispute.

Among the various legal troubles inherited with the previous pontificate, Pope Leo XIV now faces a lawsuit at the European Court of Human Rights because the Vatican allegedly did not respect a fundamental right of a retiree: the inalienability of the pension accrued by the worker. The lawsuit was filed by two former managers of the IOR, Paolo Cipriani and Massimo Tulli, both convicted by the Vatican court for mismanagement. The Vatican bank, which should have paid them the pension allowance, albeit reduced by a third due to the conviction, as happens in all national systems, for example, even in Italy, stopped doing so overnight. Naturally, Cipriani and Tulli initially appealed to the Vatican courts, which have often not shone for transparency, suing the Pope's bank and winning both in the first and second instances with two favorable rulings that sided with the two former employees. In those favorable rulings, it was highlighted that a key principle from the Italian system was being …More
