Deo gratias! Understanding that there's no way the Mass of the ages could ever be changed is how I finally came to realize these clerical imposters are NOT legitimate. It gets more clear by the day!
Question: "Do you know ANY EXILED Venezuelan who isn’t thankful to president Trump?" Take your time.... You don’t? Let me give you a hint... 0 , I was married to one, her entire family is living either in Florida or Chile, they don’t have sweet words for the regime and they don’t care about Trump's methods or his desire to get Venezuelan oil.

The - for him - perennial question of why we suffer does not admit easy answers, Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, said in a psychologically dense talk in Madrid, Spain, on January 9, 2026, in the Aula Magna of Universidad CEU San Pablo according to OmnesMag.com. Bishop Varden’s episcopal consecration in 2020 was postponed because he was granted a period of leave to recover his strength from exhaustion. Religion or Life Coaching? Bishop Varden believes that pain “belongs to the human condition and cannot be dissolved by rational arguments.” Christian Faith does not seek to justify suffering or pretend it does not exist. Instead, it places suffering before God with reverence, acknowledging its gravity without turning it into an absolute. Monsignor Varden's central idea is that humanity is wounded, yet not defined by its wounds. “The human condition,” he said, “is a painful condition, but not a definitive one.” Victimism Is a Dead End Suffering may condition life, but it does …More

A federal appeals court has ruled against the Satanic Temple's religious-based challenge of Indiana's near-total abortion ban. On Jan. 6, 2026, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit sided with a 2023 lower court opinion that the group lacked standing to sue because it did not present evidence that at least one Hoosier adherent was actually harmed. "This lawsuit was ridiculous from the start, but this unanimous court decision is a critical victory because it continues to uphold our pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally rock-solid," Attorney General Todd Rokita said in a press release. Under Indiana law, abortion is allowed only in very narrow circumstances: cases of fatal fetal anomalies, threats to the mother's life, and pregnancies before 10 weeks' gestation caused by rape or incest. Lawyers for the Satanic Temple argued that these restrictions conflict with the religious practices of its Hoosier adherents. The group holds as one of its central tenets …

We returned to our home as it was all clear and it was untouched by bushfire but we received another alert saying wind changed direction and to leave immediately as it was heading literally towards our area and I surrendered in Faith the home to God and put Blessed Holy Water on the house and we had to leave again and found out later the wind changed direction going away from our place back towards the main fire front towns. The Power of Prayer especially the Holy Rosary can DO miraculous things!
Leo XIV will certainly introduce changes with respect to the previous pontificate, but the challenge posed by Evangelii Gaudium "cannot" be buried — Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández told the consistory on January 7–8. His intervention was published by his friends of ReligionDigital.org. “In fact, Evangelii Gaudium specifies that it is not an obsessive proclamation of all the doctrines and norms of the Church, although necessary and valuable, but above all the proclamation of the core of the Gospel, the kerygma.” Tucho believes that "creativity is needed" to ensure that the proclamation reaches everyone. Protestant-sounding language He argues for an alleged “need to remain open to reforming our practices, styles, and organizations.” Even if denied, he uses the phrase “not out of an obsession with change” and wants “inculturating anew”. He then invokes the anti-Catholic slogan “Ecclesia semper reformanda”, drawn from Reformed theological literature. Tucho also argues against …More
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Trump run on a platform that no wars would be started under his administration? Is he really that stupid to be sucked into a war with Iran under a Mossad false flag operation?
“'Out of one hundred thousand sinners who continue in sin until death, scarcely one will be saved.' St. Jerome, Doctor and Father of the Church 'It is certainly a great happiness for some sinners who after a bad life are converted at their death, and are saved; but these cases are very rare: ordinarily he that leads a bad life dies a bad death.' St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Doctor of the Church 'So that you will better appreciate the meaning of Our Lord's words, and perceive more clearly how few the Elect are, note that Christ did not say that those who walked in the path to Heaven are few in number, but that there were few who found that narrow way. It is as though the Saviour intended to say: The path leading to Heaven is so narrow and so rough, so overgrown, so dark and difficult to discern, that there are many who never find it their whole life long. And those who do find it are constantly exposed to the danger of deviating from it, of mistaking their way, and unwittingly wandering …More
"'Get out of the filth of the horrible torrent of this world, the torrent of thorns that is whirling you into the abyss of eternal perdition. . . This torrent is the world, which resembles an impetuous torrent, full of garbage and evil odours, making a lot of noise but flowing swiftly passed, dragging the majority of men into the pit of perdition.'

Watched that film when I was a postulant to the Carmelites in France. In French.. On an overhead projector. One of the sisters, also a postulant had her birthday that day, and requested it. It was the only time we did something like that the whole time I was there (14 months), other than watching a film about St Teresa of Avila..
mastercatechism.com Yes, baptism is necessary for salvation. The Church teaches that without baptism, one cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven, as stated by Christ: "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). However, there are exceptions recognized by the Church. Those who die without baptism but have not committed sin through no fault of their own will not go to hell, but they will not see God or heaven. Instead, they will be in a state of natural peace, deprived of the beatific vision (V16 Kinkead Explanation of the Baltimore Catechism 1891 226:1). Additionally, the Church acknowledges two other forms of baptism that can substitute for the sacrament of water baptism under certain circumstances: the baptism of blood (martyrdom) and the baptism of desire (a sincere desire for baptism combined with perfect contrition for sins) (V17 Cafferata The Catechism Simply Explained 1932 244:2; V8 Frassinetti A Dogmatic Catechism …More
2 Timothy 4:22 -- The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. -- Will unbaptized infants go to heaven? mastercatechism.com -- Provided the following: The Church teaches that unbaptized infants do not enter heaven, as they lack the beatific vision of God due to original sin. However, they do not suffer the same penalties as those who have committed personal sin. Instead, it is believed that they may experience a state of natural happiness, without the pain of sense, as they are not aware of their deprivation of the beatific vision (V0 Schneider Credo 2023 273:5; V18 Gasparri The Catholic Catechism 1932 211:2). The destiny of these infants remains a mystery entrusted to God's loving providence, and while we can hope for God's mercy, their ultimate fate is not definitively known (V0 Schneider Credo 2023 274:1; V8 Frassinetti A Dogmatic Catechism 1872 65:4).

This bring up the question: Will unbaptized infants go to heaven? The Church stays far clear from putting this answer down in writing. Relying on what the Saints have said about the Mercy of God, and the ignorance of the infant. (Saint Augustine) Augustine’s Earliest Thoughts on the Salvation … Now - just think if those Vatican Bozo's did put it in writing. The results would give the Wicked women and doctors a Disneyland E-ticket to commit abortions, as their child will not go to hell. In ancient Hebrew, it was thought that the sins of the parents would be passed onto their third and forth generations. With that as a thought, you can tell that wicked woman, If you abort that child, both you and he will go to Hell.
[Thomas a Kempis – XIV-XV Century AD; Kempen, Holy Roman Empire/Zwolle, Holy Roman Empire; aged 90-91; Canon, Regular] “16 ~ OF THE SUFFERING OF OTHER MEN’S DEFAULTS. SUCH defaults as we cannot amend in ourselves nor in others, we must patiently suffer, till our Lord of His goodness will otherwise dispose. And we shall think that haply it so is best to be for proving of our patience, without which our merits are but little to be pondered. Nevertheless thou shalt pray heartily for such impediments, that our Lord of His great mercy and goodness vouchsafe to help thee, that thou mayest patiently bear them. If thou admonish any person once or twice, and he will not take it, strive not over much with him, but commit all to God, that His will be done, and His honour in all His servants, for He can well by His goodness turn evil into good.

The subservience of governments to the interests of the globalist elite is even more evident in the planning of ethnic replacement, pursued to erase the religious, cultural, linguistic, and economic identity of states and to better control the masses. From Starmer to Macron, from Rutte to Sanchez, from von der Leyen to Meloni, total surveillance is already being implemented and will become irreversible with the introduction of digital currency and the obligation of a unique ID for access to essential services.
