The Synod on Synodality was an “ironclad manipulation,” Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, said in his three-minute intervention at the consistory held January 7–8. The text of his speech was published on the Substack account of Edward Pentin CardinalNews.Substack.com. Prior to the consistory, Cardinal Zen was received in private audience by Pope Leo XIV. Synod’s Invocation of the Holy Spirit Verges on Blasphemy In his intervention, Cardinal Zen criticized the late Pope Francis and the synodal process he initiated: “The ironclad manipulation of the process is an insult to the dignity of the Bishops, and the continual reference to the Holy Spirit is ridiculous and almost blasphemous.” Francis, he said, expected “surprises” from the Holy Spirit. Cardinal Zen responded: “What surprises? That He should repudiate what He inspired in the Church’s two-thousand-year Tradition?” Cardinal Zen noted that Francis bypassed the Episcopal College, listened directly to selected members of the laity, and …More
You will not intervene in my country. You will not intervene in my country. We are prepared for you! From Venezuela! There are ai video's showing people praising trump and his administration.

Seems like some people refuse to listen to the truth. When it's our duty to seek it out. Listening to the beast is not where you get any truth from. But from various sources. Experts in their fields. Then if you still don't believe the truth because it's not what you want to hear. Then it will all fall on you later. You can count on that. The difference between me and some on gtv is that I rather have the truth. Even if it breaks my heart. Than to live a life of lies. But others feel, they must be right and refuse truth when they hear or see it. That's not how a Catholic thinks, lives or believes. Or will you deny that as well?
Venezuela's streets are full of protesters "AGAINST" trump. Watch out for the ai video's and paid actors who are for trump. The people are angry in Venezuela and they mean business!
Minnesota Diocese Gives ‘Ad Orientem’ Worship a Shot: Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass.
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
Shocking! It reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode about a totalitarian society that mandated its citizens MUST be happy. When someone displayed any sadness or even indifference - they were executed. So, everyone lived in fear while maintaining a fake facade of cheerfulness!
"‘And breathing life into it so that it rose up as a living man.’ This means that the flame awakens him with heavenly power and marvellously brings forth a rational human being made up of body and soul.”
[Saint HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ~ XI-XII Century AD; Bermersheim, Holy Roman Empire/Bingen am Rhein, Holy Roman Empire, aged 81; Abbess, Polymath, Writer, Composer, Mystic, Visionary, Philosopher, Medical Writer and Practitioner, Composer of Sacred Monophony, Virgin, Founder, Doctor of the Church] “3. Before and after the Incarnation the Word remains indivisibly and eternally with the Father You see in your vision ‘the fire having a flame the colour of the air, brightly burning in the gentle breeze, and as inseparable from the shining fire as a human being is inseparable from his inner organs’. This is the infinite Word, which is in the Father before time, before the working of creation. In the glow of love, this Word was to become incarnate, in the course of time, miraculously and without stain or weight of sin, through the pure green vigour of the Holy Spirit in the dawn of blessed maidenhood. And before his assumption of flesh the Word was indivisible in the Father and remained inseparable …More

A group of Catholics in Lebanon have launched a legal bid to prevent an upcoming performance by Portuguese priest Guilherme Peixoto. His "music" blends electronic dance beats with religious imagery. He is scheduled to perform at the AHM nightclub in Beirut on 10 January. The petitioners have submitted a request to a Beirut summary affairs judge, seeking to halt the concert. They argue that the performance 'undermines church values' and 'misrepresents Christian rituals', citing concerns over a priest performing as a DJ in a nightclub. However, resorting to the state in such matters is futile. Padre Peixoto is due to preside over a Eucharist in Kaslik on the same day. Supporters rightly argue that his ministry and artistic work are officially recognised by church authorities in many countries. He also performed at World Youth Day in Lisbon in 2023, just before Pope Francis's Eucharist. #newsFaulcgdlqq
Wed Jan 7, 2026 - 12:25 pm ESTWed Jan 7, 2026 - 3:45 pm EST VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV opened his first extraordinary consistory with an agenda centered on synodality, liturgy and the legacy of the Second Vatican Council. On Wednesday, January 7, Pope Leo began the first extraordinary consistory of his pontificate at the Vatican, convening cardinals from around the world in the Paul VI Hall and the New Synod Hall to reflect together, advise the Pope, and discuss key themes like synodality and liturgy through a program centered on small working groups and plenary interventions. In his general audience held earlier the same day, Leo said that the Second Vatican Council “has helped us to open ourselves to the world and to grasp the changes and challenges of the modern age in dialogue and shared responsibility,” adding “we must still more fully realize ecclesial reform in a ministerial key.” According to details published by Il Giornale, registration for participating …
"In the real world, it’s inconceivable that an officer would open fire on a person who was no threat to them and shoot them in the face at point blank range knowing that would mean instant death. They had no reason to suspect her of a crime but if they wanted to detain her they would have fired at one of her tyres immobilising her car or they simply would have chased her" --- Seems Mrs. Gemma has no experience with totalitarian states (in the real real world). Strange as the state cult of covid in Ireland was pretty hard.
On 15 December 2025, a teacher at a primary school in Kielno, Poland, asked pupils to remove a cross from the classroom wall. When the pupils refused, the teacher removed the cross herself and threw it into a trash bin. Yesterday, a protest in defense of the cross took place outside the primary school, according to Wiadomosci.Onet.pl. It drew local residents, members of Gazeta Polska Clubs, opposition politicians, and the parents of one of the pupils. Among those present were Members of Parliament Michał Kowalski and Dorota Arciszewska-Mielewczyk from the Law and Justice party (PiS). Following the incident, the Mayor of Szemud Municipality had filed a notification with the District Prosecutor’s Office in Wejherowo concerning the alleged disposal of the cross. Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda of Gdańsk said he expects thorough and reliable explanations from the authorities responsible for the school. Pending clarification of the matter, the school principal suspended the teacher from her duties. …More
What does seem clear already is that Leo has understood that in defining himself and his pontificate, he will necessarily be defining that of his predecessor, too.
