Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe: No one can simply say ‘I’m a woman’ – our biology is fundamental

The leading Catholic on trans rights, an astonishing meeting with Pope Francis and what happened inside the secret conclave to elect Leo XIV
In a small, lamplit room at Blackfriars Hall in Oxford,
Father Timothy Radcliffe, England’s newest cardinal, is talking about books. “I love Charles Dickens,” he enthuses. “I think he’s one of the greatest, most imaginative people ever to write. And I love The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene.”
The literary references are typical of Timothy Radcliffe. It is easy to forget that this urbane and cultured man is one of the most important contemporary religious figures in the country. Perhaps the lightness with which he holds his religion is the Dominican way – he is a Dominican friar and former master of the global Dominican order. Or maybe it’s the lingering patrician in him. The grandson of a baronet, he was brought up within the old, upper-class Catholic world of families whose pedigrees predate the formation of the Church of England.

UK’s approval of self-amplifying vaccines is a catastrophic “mistake” - The Expose

UK’s approval of self-amplifying vaccines is a catastrophic “mistake”
Last week, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency approved the use of self-amplifying “vaccines” against covid. The agency has not assessed the safety or efficacy for itself; the approval is based on the European Medicines Agency’s dubious assessment.
We have written before about the potentially devastating effects of this new generation bioweapon when it was unleashed in Japan in 2024. From his own assessment, Nicholas Hulscher concludes, “The UK’s approval of this dangerous technology is a catastrophic mistake for the health of its population.”

A celebration was held in Palermo to seal the shrines containing the bodies of the two holy friars who lived in Palermo in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The occasion once again highlights the commitment, duty, and urgency of rebuilding the church, which was almost completely destroyed, to the attention of the community and institutions. The convent, located at the foot of Mount Grifone and fortunately spared from the flames, will once again house the holy relics of Saint Benedict the Moor and Blessed Matthew of Agrigento, which were also damaged in the terrible fire two years ago. The mortal remains will once again be available for veneration by the faithful every day from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
"I still remember that fiery July a couple of years ago," commented the Archbishop of Palermo, Monsignor Corrado Lorefice, "but I have always told people that our duty is to remain holy in the faith because, even if we were unable to have their bodies returned in their …More

The Gift of the Magi
"The Gift of the Magi" is a short story by American writer O. Henry, first published in 1905. The story tells of a young husband and wife and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. As a sentimental story with a moral lesson about gift-giving, it has been popular for adaptation, especially for presentation at Christmas time. The plot and its twist ending are well known; the ending is generally considered an example of cosmic irony. The story was allegedly written at Pete's Tavern on Irving Place in New York City.
The story was initially published in The New York Sunday World under the title "Gifts of the Magi" on December 10, 1905. It was first published in book form in the O. Henry collection The Four Million in April 1906.

Fr. James Altman joins John-Henry Westen to expose what he calls a deliberate campaign to weaken Catholic truth from within.
He describes his “exile” as a warning to other priests, enforced through silence and fear, and explains how his new books aim to fortify faithful Catholics with Scripture and timeless doctrine.
The conversation also addresses the Vatican’s rejection of Marian titles like Co-Redemptrix, liberal bishops prioritizing illegal immigration over reverent liturgy, and attempts to form a “one-world religion.” Altman blasts these moves as spiritual sabotage, “rat poison” meant to erode doctrine subtly over time.

Manufacturing Consent for Venezuela - Redacted | Exposing Truth, Combating Misinformation

Is your algorithm telling you that Venezuelans are happy the U.S. invaded their country and kidnapped their president? Then you, my friend, may be the target of a CIA psy-op designed to justify an international crime.
Sources tell
“They’re happy about it,” the message goes.
Only they’re not, demonstrated by the widespread condemnation across Latin America and Spain. It would make no sense if they were.
How, I ask you, can the United States — the country that sanctioned Venezuela’s economy into poverty and flooded the region with CIA-run drug routes — suddenly be its savior? That’s like turning to cigarettes to cure lung cancer. The U.S. has never carried out a regime-change operation that didn’t end in chaos and destruction for the country involved. And virtually no nation welcomes U.S. intervention, with the notable exceptions of Israel and Ukraine.
Let’s look at how this went the last time the U.S. kidnapped a leader in Latin America. In 1989, the United States invaded Panama …

Ordinariate-Style Structure for the Roman Rite - New Proposal to Cardinals

Ahead of the January 7–8 consistory, a group of cardinals received a new proposal aimed at resolving long-standing tensions surrounding the Mass in the Roman rite, reports Diane Montagna of Substack (January 5).
Dated December 24, the proposal was made by Father Louis-Marie de Blignières, founder of the French Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer.
The letter (below) was sent in hard copy to 15 cardinals known for their interest in liturgical matters and by email to approximately 100 other cardinals.
Rather than calling for a reversal of existing restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass, the letter proposes a structural solution: the creation of a personal ecclesiastical jurisdiction dedicated to the ancient Roman rite. Modeled in part on military ordinariates and Anglican ordinariates, such a structure would not be defined by territory but by the faithful who choose to belong to it.
The proposed jurisdiction would be headed by its own bishop or ordinary and possess the authority to …More

Germany Considers Newsroom Inspections Without a Court Order – Allah's Willing Executioners

Illustration GROK
The German government has given the green light in the cabinet to a draft bill that would allow searches of newsrooms and the premises of digital platforms without a prior court order under certain circumstances.
According to
press reports, the initiative is presented as a technical transposition of European rules on transparency in political advertising. However, it has sparked intense legal and political controversy due to the breadth of the powers it would grant to the administration.
The proposed Political Advertising Transparency Act aims to incorporate into national law the EU regulation governing the dissemination of political advertising online. Its stated purpose is to strengthen transparency, traceability of funding, and data protection in political messaging. In practice, however, the draft goes well beyond mere disclosure obligations and directly affects the operations of media organisations and technology platforms.

HOW CAN CARDINALS MCELROY AND RADCLIFFE PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSISTORY ? : VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL IS TRADITIONAL AND OPPOSED TO LGBT IDEOLOGY
How can cardinals McElroy and Radcliffe participate in the Consistory when Vatican Council II rational, is ecclesiocentric and supports traditional faith and morals, opposed to LGBT ideology? They must recant or resign. Since they are not doing either there must be an institutional process to check them.
With the discovery that ‘the red is not an exception for the blue’, Vatican Council II is no more ‘a revolution’ or a ‘new revelation’ in the Catholic Church.
The Church has moved forward since 1965.
The interpretation of Vatican Council II by Pope Paul VI to Pope Leo XIV and that of Rahner, Ratzinger, Congar, Lubac, Lehmann, Kung, Guardini and Lefebvre was schismatic. We now have a non schismatic, option, which is rational, traditional and ecclesiocentric.

Program for Leo XIV’s Consistory – "Working Groups" Like the Synod

On 7–8 January, Pope Leo XIV will preside over the first extraordinary consistory of his pontificate. Time is short and the cardinals are many.
Day One: Opening and First Session
Registration will begin at noon on 7 January in the atrium of the Paul VI Hall.
After a welcome coffee, proceedings will not begin until 3:30 p.m. in the New Synod Hall with communal prayer, followed by greetings from the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re.
Leo XIV will then deliver an introductory address and outline the work to be undertaken.
Three Sessions Over Two Days
The consistory is structured in three sessions over two days and will rely on small working groups, which will later present group reports.
This method was previously used during the meeting of cardinals on the reform of the Roman Curia in late summer 2022. Traditionally, a consistory was conducted in a plenary, centralized format, quite different from the small-group method now being used.
