Bishop Athanasius Schneider argues in an interview with Diane Montagna on January 20 that Cardinal Roche’s document on the liturgy to the consistory is shaped by a predetermined opposition to the Mass in the Roman rite. Below is a summarized version Bishop Schneider’s critique. He calls Cardinal Roche manipulative, dishonest, rigid and a clericalist. The original English interview is available in authorised translations into Italian, German, French and Spanish. Methodological Bias and Use of History Schneider maintains that Roche’s document lacks genuine objectivity and instead selectively employs historical data to justify restrictions on the Traditional Roman Rite. He argues that Roche: · presents partial or misleading historical interpretations · applies selective citations · and frames conclusions in advance rather than deriving them from evidence Schneider: “It appears driven by an agenda aimed at denigrating this liturgical form and ultimately eliminating it from ecclesial …Kara
Thu Jan 15, 2026 - 3:04 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian Christian pastor who defied COVID orders to keep his church open has seen his convictions vacated by a provincial court. Pastor John Koopman, of the Free Reformed Church in Chilliwack, British Columbia, was charged in 2020 and 2021 for having worship services despite a ban on them by the province’s government. The province’s Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, had put in place a complete ban on in-person religious worship. However, bars, restaurants, gyms, all salons, as well as other secular venues, were allowed to continue operations. As noted by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) in a recent news release, Koopman had two convictions for attending in-person worship services vacated by the Provincial Court of British Columbia. In a January 8, 2026, ruling, Justice Andrea Ormiston, as noted by the JCCF, “corrected the court record after the Crown acknowledged that two tickets issued against Pastor …

Today, Europe resembles a ship heading for disaster, with its captain giving the order “Full speed ahead!” A collision with an iceberg leaves no chance of survival. The EU is responsible for the accelerated decline of Europe’s importance in the world, politically, socially, and economically. On Sunday, Polish-born German author and journalist Miosz Matuschek published an article on Switzerland’s situation, surrounded by the European Union. The article is titled: Be surrounded, you millions!.Source. While we used to laugh at excessive regulations and bureaucratic red tape, today we’re witnessing the ever-greedier Union everywhere: Be surrounded, you millions, you belong to us for better or for worse. Anyone who isn’t crippled by vaccination (children are next) will soon be sent to the trenches. Brussels is taking off the kid gloves, grabbing Russian money to finance wars, and even sanctioning the Swiss. …
Archbishop Paglia Distances Himself from Bishop's Bell for the Unborn Children: Bishop Antonio Suetta, 63, of Ventimiglia–Sanremo, Italy, installed a “Bell for the Unborn Children” in the diocesan bell tower in Sanremo on December 28. It rings every evening at 20:00 as a reminder of children killed by abortion. Bishop Suetta was fiercely attacked by the media and left-wing parties. He clarified that the bell’s purpose is to foster prayerful remembrance and respect for life. Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, 80, former president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, publicly distanced himself from the initiative when asked about it at a conference in Sanremo. He said that he had preferred bells for the elderly and for 'fraternity' over Bishop Suetta's bell.
L'ex presidente della Pontificia Accademia per la Vita va a Sanremo e prende le distanze dall'iniziativa della "Campana dei bambini non nati" presa dal vescovo Suetta. Scandaloso ma non sorprendente visti i precedenti. Ma gli altri vescovi da che parte stanno? Riccardo Cascioli
US Constitution which applies to "everyone" within this country. Whether you are a US citizen or not. You have a right to be secured in your own home. A police must have a warrant in order to kick down your door. Everyone who has to see this will also be traumatized as well. Think of the children that have to see this. They will hurt the most. The highest temperature in Saint Paul on Sunday was 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius). Yet they kicked down this man's door, took him out of his home in shorts and crocs and a child's blanket his grandson used to throw on his grandfather. They refused to allow him to get his I.D. and to put on some clothes. Dragging him from his home These are dangerous times. Even in America there is no justice and our freedoms are being taken from us. Lawless government hiring lawless men who are "ALLOWED" to literally get away with murder.

January 19 Saints Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum. by irapuato on January 19, 2014 Saints Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum[1] (died 270) were, according to their largely legendary passio of the 6th century, four saints of the same family (a husband, his wife, and their two sons). They came from Persia to Rome, and were martyred in 270 for sympathizing with and burying the bodies of Christians. Some ancient martyrologies place the date of their death between 268 to 270, during the reign of Claudius II, although there was no persecution of Christians during this time.[2] Their story states that the family's assistance to the Christians exposed them to persecution. They were seized and delivered to the judge Muscianus or Marcianus, who, unable to persuade them to abjure their faith, condemned them to various tortures. Despite the torture, the saints refused to abjure. Maris and his two sons were thus beheaded on the Via Cornelia, and their bodies were burnt. Martha …Kara

St. Robert Bellarmine: "A manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others."
She was the most famous child in the world at age six—but what her mother did to her hair every single night for years will break your heart. February 27, 1935. A six-year-old girl in a party dress sat through hours of the Academy Awards ceremony, watching adults collect gold statues. When they finally called her name, Shirley Temple walked to the stage and received something no other child ever had: a miniature Oscar, made specially because she was too small for a regular one. She thanked them politely. Then she turned to her mother with the question every exhausted six-year-old would ask: "Mommy, can I go home now?" What the audience didn't know was that this little girl had been working since she was three years old. She could smile on command, cry on cue, and tap dance up a flight of stairs without missing a beat. But she was still just a child who wanted to go to bed. Behind those famous blonde curls was work nobody saw. Every single night, her mother sat with bobby pins and patience …Kara

Israel demolishes UNRWA buildings in occupied East Jerusalem nytimes.com/…01/20/world/middleeast/israel- … Bulldozers leveled some structures in a compound that belonged to UNRWA, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, escalating Israel’s crackdown on the organization. Flanked by bulldozers, Israeli officials seized the Jerusalem headquarters of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees on Tuesday and oversaw the demolition of some of the structures in its compound. The move further escalates Israel’s crackdown on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, generally known by its acronym UNRWA. The organization had long been one of the leading aid agencies in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, but over the last two years the Israeli government, which has long been at odds with the agency, has passed sweeping legislation criminalizing its operations. In a statement defending the decision to seize the compound, Oren Marmorstein, a spokesman for Israel’s foreign …Kara
Why Is Oracle / Larry Ellison Meeting the UK Government? Lewis Brackpool Since April 2025, I’ve been using Freedom of Information requests to uncover what meetings, documents, and briefings exist between Oracle, the data and cloud giant led by Larry Ellison, and the UK Government. In this video, I walk through what has been disclosed, what has been delayed, and what remains hidden, including a previously undisclosed reference to an “Oracle Whitepaper” discussed with government ministers. Oracle underpins critical UK infrastructure, from healthcare and finance to government IT systems, yet operates largely out of public view. This investigation looks at Oracle’s role, Larry Ellison’s political and ideological influence, and why repeated FOI requests have been delayed or partially refused. This video is an experiment with a new setup and format, if it works, I’ll continue producing FOI-based investigations like this. youtube.com/watch?v=RJ2HzZsHWA0
UPDATE: I just now WAS able to send an email to office@gloria.tv to let them know of the difficulty I'm having posting (mostly) graphics here on GTV. Hopefully I'll hear back from someone soon. (Note: I sent two other emails to the same email address, but they got bounced back to me. THEN I shortened/revised the subject line of the email and again re-sent it, and this time it went through lickety-split.)
Bishop Athanasius Schneider has issued a forceful critique of a recent liturgy report prepared by Cardinal Arthur Roche, saying it relies on “manipulative reasoning” and “distorts historical evidence.” The Cardinal’s two-page text—framed as a “careful theological, historical, and pastoral reflection”—was distributed to members of the Sacred College at a Jan. 7–8 consistory convened by Pope Leo XIV. Although it was not formally presented or discussed at the meeting due to time constraints, the report received significant pushback from clergy and faithful after its contents circulated in the media. In a point-by-point analysis, Bishop Schneider challenges both the historical assumptions and theological premises underlying the text. Drawing on the documents of the Second Vatican Council, papal teaching, and the testimony of scholars and witnesses directly involved in the postconciliar liturgical reform, he argues that the report reflects not an impartial and careful analysis, but …
