Laminin is a large extracellular matrix protein made of three different polypeptide chains (α, β, and γ). These chains assemble into a structure with: One long arm (formed mainly by the α chain) Three shorter arms (from the β and γ chains) Together, these four arms radiate from a central point, giving laminin its characteristic cruciform (cross-like) appearance, especially in electron microscopy images.
The molecule that holds every human being together is shaped like a cross.
Pope Leo XIV in his new year message today to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See: "It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking. At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it."
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

Der frühere vatikanische Glaubenspräfekt Kardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller erklärte (=Ausrede), warum die Kardinäle Liturgie nicht zum Thema des außerordentlichen Konsistoriums machten. Wegen der begrenzten Zeit habe man sich auf die großen Herausforderungen der Kirche konzentriert, etwa Säkularisierung, Atheismus und antichristliche politische Systeme. Fragen der Liturgie seien derzeit nicht zentral. Zugleich zeigte sich Müller überzeugt, dass Papst Leo XIV. zur vorkonziliaren Liturgie eine gute Lösung für alle finden werde.
Following the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, Pope Leo XIV calls for the will of the Venezuelan people to be respected: “he escalating tensions in the Caribbean Sea and along the American Pacific coast are also a cause for serious concern. I wish to repeat my urgent appeal that peaceful political solutions to the current situation should be sought, keeping in mind the common good of the peoples and not the defense of partisan interests. This pertains in particular to Venezuela, in light of recent developments. In this regard, I renew my appeal to respect the will of the Venezuelan people, and to safeguard the human and civil rights of all, ensuring a future of stability and concord. To this end, inspiration may be drawn from the example of two of its children whom I had the joy of canonizing last October – José Gregorio Hernández and Sister Carmen Rendiles. May their witness inspire the building of a society founded on justice, truth, freedom and fraternity, and thus enable the nation to …More
Pope Leo XIV to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See: “Today, the meaning of words is ever more fluid, and the concepts they represent are increasingly ambiguous. Language is no longer the preferred means by which human beings come to know and encounter one another. Moreover, in the contortions of semantic ambiguity, language is becoming more and more a weapon with which to deceive, or to strike and offend opponents. We need words once again to express distinct and clear realities unequivocally. Only in this way can authentic dialogue resume without misunderstandings. This should happen in our homes and public spaces, in politics, in the media and on social media. It should likewise occur in the context of international relations and multilateralism, so that the latter can regain the strength needed for undertaking its role of encounter and mediation. This is indeed necessary for preventing conflicts, and for ensuring that no one is tempted to prevail over others with the …More
01/09/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. In her article yesterday, Sascha Latypova described the business model of pediatrics in detail. The article on sashalatypova.substack.com is titled: See Baby, Shoot Baby, Bill! or The Business Model of Pediatrics. This post examines the perverse financial incentives and “pay-to-vax” mechanisms that underlie the greatest human tragedy in known history – mass poisoning of several generations of children with unregulated, liability-free poisons, aka “vaccines”. Payment mechanisms enforcing full CDC vaccination schedule and annual boosters (such as flu shots and covid shots) include federal (Medicaid), state (Medicaid and CHIP), local (Section 317) and private insurers schemes. An average pediatric practice obtains approximately 25% of the total annal revenue from direct vaccine reimbursement or administration fees. However, the impact on the profit from vaccine revenues is much greater than 25%. This is because numerous “incentive” schemes …
Several sources confirmed that the Mass in the Roman rite was not mentioned at the consistory on 7–8 January. South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, 84, told Edward Pentin that the Roman Latin Mass was not discussed: "I think the main point was how to get the whole Church to evangelise at the same level." Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, 63, of Algeria, confirmed to Niwa Limbu that they had not discussed any form of liturgy: "We talked about the importance of the Eucharist in the context. of synodality." Only two dozen of the 170 cardinals were able to speak during the 'free interventions'. Speaker of the Vatican press office Matteo Bruni added in the evening that future consistories will be held once a year and last 3–4 days. The next consistory is planned for 27–28 June. #newsZnxlpxmwqb
Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass with the College of Cardinals in St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, opening the second day of his first Extraordinary Consistory. In his homily, he called the Consistory a “moment of grace”
If you haven't been to a dance party at SEEK, one of the biggest Roman Catholic conferences of the year, and danced to 'Shakira' while a nun fills the room with bubbles from a bubble gun, can you really call yourself a Catholic?
Plus they had a "speed dating" event as part of the conference too! This "catholic" event is looking more and more like some weird land-based cruise. See: Catholic singles attend huge SEEK 2026 speed …
Today, 170 Cardinals gathered for the first consistory. Pope Leo XIV was flanked in the Synod Hall by his Curia Cardinals, most of whom are pro-homosexual: Tucho (Faith), Mendonça (Education), Grech (Synod), Roche (Liturgy), Baggio (Human Development), and Artime (Religious). After entering the Synod Hall, English pro-homosexual Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, 80, delivered a meditation to the Cardinals. The decision to keep him in the same role he held during the Synod on Synodality carries symbolic weight. His speech today was fairly mild. However, just the day before, Cardinal Radcliffe called for the urgent ordination of women as deacons. The cardinals were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of cardinals under the age of 80. This group was further divided into nine round tables. The second group, consisting of elderly cardinals and the Roman Curia, was divided into eleven round tables. In the groups, the Cardinals discussed Synodality and Evangelisation. One anonymous …More
It was never going to be any different. And those who thought that it would be were deceived, deluded, hoodwinked and bamboozled. This is clearly still Francis' College of Cardinals and Francis' chosen successor......get used to it.
Pope Leo XIV delivering the English summary of his first General Audience catechesis of a new cycle on Vatican II, saying: “We see that the documents have lost none of their relevance and are pertinent to the demands and challenges of today. Closely studying the Council documents will help us to be attentive interpreters of the signs of the times, and to proclaim the Gospel to all.”
More than 30 priests from the Diocese of Charlotte have formally appealed to the Vatican with a series of questions concerning recent liturgical directives issued by their bishop, including the prohibition of altar rails and kneelers during Communion. The questions, known as dubia, were submitted in a letter to the Dicastery for Legislative Texts on Jan. 5.
31 priests of the Diocese of Charlotte have formally challenged recent liturgical directives issued by Bishop Michael Martin, submitting Dubia to of all places the Vatican. The Substack.com account The Pillar reports that the priests’ letter to the Dicastery for Legislative Texts was sent on January 5. It questions whether the bishop has the authority to mandate the removal and prohibition of kneelers for Communion. This a policy was announced in a “pastoral” letter by Bishop Martin on December 17. Temporary kneeling fixtures are required to be removed by Jan. 16. Thirty-one priests are about a quarter of the diocesan presbyterate. They argue that kneeling for Communion is explicitly permitted by the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and part of the traditional liturgical practice of the Church. Furthermore, the Dubia question Bishop Martin’s authority to prohibit certain vestments, liturgical prayers, gestures, and elements associated with the Mass of the Roman rite but …More

Lexington’s Bishop Stowe on Venezuela: “I lament how the Pope’s words for January 1, the World Day of Prayer for Peace, in which he reiterated the call for an ‘unarmed and disarming peace’ were completely ignored by the US administration in pursuit of its own ill-defined goals and with reckless disregard for human life and rule of law.”
