Former Irish president Mary McAleese has declared the baptism of children to be a human rights violation that should be outlawed. Since leaving office, she has campaigned for radical changes within Catholicism, supported by academic posts and Jesuit accolades. These include a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical Gregorian University (2018). However, her views have been deemed too heterodox for a Vatican conference under the Holy See (2018). She openly disagrees with Church teachings on marriage, homosexuality and abortion, and has particular criticism for the male-only priesthood, dismissing Catholic doctrine as "unscientific sexist nonsense".
Mon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:18 pm ESTMon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:30 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — The former president of Ireland claimed that infant baptism violates children’s human rights. The Irish Times published an excerpt from a recent talk by Mary McAleese at University College Cork (UCC), in which the heterodox Catholic made her case against infant baptism. “Throughout the world, there continues a long-standing, systemic and overlooked severe restriction on children’s rights with regard to religion,” the former president of Ireland wrote. “It restricts children’s rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948 and United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989, to which both Ireland and the Holy See – which governs the Catholic Church and is effectively the author of canon law – are State Parties.” McAleese, who was president of Ireland from 1997 to 2011, argued that children are restricted in their religious freedom by infant baptism, to …

HOW TO BUILD A CATHOLIC HOME ALTAR, A HOLY PLACE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE There is a reason every holy family in Scripture kept a sacred place in their home. When you create a small altar in your house, you are telling God: “Lord, You are welcome here. This home belongs to You.” A home altar is not decoration. It is a prayer engine. A silent teacher. A daily reminder that God lives with you. Here is how anyone can build one: 1. Choose a Quiet Corner Select a small space in your room or sitting area where there is peace. It doesn’t have to be big. God blesses sincerity, not size. 2. Place a Clean Table or Shelf Your altar needs a simple, stable, clean surface. This becomes your “little sanctuary.” 3. Put the Crucifix at the Center The Cross must be the heart of the altar. It reminds you that every blessing flows from Jesus’ sacrifice. 4. Add a Catholic Bible Place the Bible beside the crucifix. It shows that your home stands on the Word of God, not on human opinions. 5. Add Sacred Images …تېخىمۇ كۆپ

Sex abuse is selectively and ideologically treated in public debate, writes Archbishop Jesús Sanz Montes of Oviedo, Spain, on Abc.es on January 11. While condemning homosexual abuse cases within the Catholic Church, he argues that focusing almost exclusively on ecclesial cases risks obscuring the true scope of a crime that affects society as a whole. Referring to official reports, Archbishop Sanz Montes emphasizes that the majority of abuse cases occur in non-religious contexts: within families, schools, sports organizations, residential care facilities, and other civil institutions. According to Archbishop Sanz Montes, if the true goal is justice for all victims, then governments and public institutions should assume responsibility for abuses that occurred under their oversight or within their spheres of competence. Furthermore, the Archbishop argues that a society that trivializes sexuality, weakens moral reference points, and allows unrestricted access to harmful material - such as …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Accusations of deception against Patriarch Bartholomew within the clergy largely stem from actions related to the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and alleged inconsistencies in his exercise of authority. Specific examples cited by critics (primarily from the Russian Orthodox Church and other dissenting voices) include: Deception regarding the OCU's autocephaly: Critics claim Patriarch Bartholomew assured other Orthodox leaders, including Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, that granting autocephaly to the Ukrainian Church was impossible, only to proceed with it later in an "uncanonical fashion". The statute of the OCU is also alleged to have been adopted through deception. Acceptance of schismatics: He is accused of receiving defrocked and anathematized schismatics (clergy from the former UOC-KP and UAOC) back into communion without genuine repentance or consensus from other churches, which critics argue violated canonical order.

When he was thirty, someone once told him a strange line: “At fifty, you’ll finally meet the most important woman of your life.” He laughed it off at the time. His name was Alex. Twenty years passed, swallowed by work, responsibility, and achievement. He built a business, spent half his life on planes, provided well, checked every box that society hands to grown men. He and his wife, Irene, lived quietly. No fights, no drama — but not much closeness either. Two people sharing a roof, not a life. There was no time for feelings. Only duties. Then came the heart attack. Not a major one, but loud enough to shake him awake. Recovery forced him to slow down. One day he caught his reflection in the mirror — a tired man with graying hair staring back. It took him a moment to realize that man was him. The emptiness arrived quietly. The kids were grown and gone, the marriage held together mostly by habit, the business still running yet suddenly pointless. There was no “next mountain” to …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service issued a rare public attack on Greek Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople. He has been accused of undermining Orthodox unity and cooperating with Western intelligence services. The statement was published on the official website of the Sluschba Wneschnei Raswedki (SVR), a successor of the KGB. It marks a sharp escalation in the long-running conflict between Moscow and Constantinople. In theological language without modern precedent for a state intelligence body, the SVR referred to Bartholomew as the “Antichrist in a cassock”,” accusing him of deliberately fostering schism within global Orthodoxy. The agency alleged that the Patriarch seeks to weaken the Russian Orthodox Church by dismantling jurisdictions historically linked to Moscow and replacing them with structures dependent on the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople. Behind the accusation lies Bartholomew’s 2019 decision to grant autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. That …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Bartholomew has a long history of deception, amongst the Clergy........Sounds just like Rome Patriarch Bartholomew proposes an entirely new approach – simply to “concelebrate together.” In other words, he effectively proposes to disregard canonical problems altogether. This is not a solution to the problem; it is an attempt to suppress it through silence. the problem exists – but we will not resolve it. Why? Because any concrete solution – whether the canonical recognition of those ordinations as unquestionably valid, or the re-ordination of schismatics (which would in fact amount to a first ordination) – would generate new and even more serious problems. A diplomatic ultimatum? What was actually said …
We should be increasingly aware from these developments that historical religious schisms are related to monetized orders. When the See of Peter reminds the world that his reign is over the Sacramental and moral order FIRST, the temptations for these schism diminishes.

The Shiite religious order reigning over a constitutional government is a similar definition to a papal state. This is in contrast to the Sunni Gulf State Shiekdoms like MBS in Saudi Arabia who reigns both religiously and as president.

A Spanish court has ordered the eviction of the Poor Clares in the Monastery of Santa Clara in Belorado. February 10 is the date for a forced removal if the nuns do not leave voluntarily. The ruling was issued by the Court of First Instance in Briviesca, which approved the provisional enforcement of an earlier judgment. The court's decision cannot be appealed. Any appeal would not suspend the enforcement of the order. The property is currently under the legal administration of Archbishop Mario Iceta of Burgos. In recent years, the Clarisse nuns of Belorado had joined different sedevacantist sects and more and more sisters left. #newsOepqnnneej
This photograph was taken during a Christian baptism in Brazil. At the exact moment water was poured over the child’s head, the falling droplets briefly aligned into the shape of a rosary. The camera captured a fraction of a second that would normally pass unnoticed, recording the moment as it happened. Baptism is a public act, representing cleansing, rebirth, and commitment. A rosary is traditionally associated with prayer, repetition, and devotion. In this image, both appear together—not through planning, but through timing. The photograph itself does not interpret the moment. It does not assign meaning or intention. It simply documents what occurred in front of the lens. And yet, many people pause longer on this image than expected, as if something about the alignment feels heavier than coincidence, even without explanation. When moments like this happen without design, what do you think gives them meaning—the event itself, or the way we respond to it?
I believe that is an ai. Here is the real picture taken years ago. Back in 2010. Because she was a single mom, people were mocking her and the picture. People can be very cruel and thoughtless.
