Cardinals Received a Document Opposing the Roman Rite at the Consistory - Report

Although the subject of the Mass in the Roman rite was not raised openly during the consistory on January 7-8, it was nevertheless referenced in writing.
“While the liturgy was put aside,” an anonymous cardinal told TheCatholicHerald.com, “we were given a paper at the end written by Cardinal Arthur Roche, which was pretty negative concerning the Tridentine Latin Mass.”
Cardinal Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Liturgy, has been one of the key figures in implementing Pope Francis's 2021 apostolic letter Traditionis custodes, which restricts the celebration of the Mass.

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!

'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

AI Shows Symptoms of Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD – And It’s Ruining Your Mental Health Too

Breaking News
Grok, Gemini and ChatGPT exhibit symptoms of poor mental health according to a new study that put various AI models through weeks of therapy-style questioning. Some are now curious about “AI mental health”, but the real warning here is about how unstable these systems – which are already being used by one in three UK adults for mental health support – become in emotionally charged conversations. Millions of people are turning to AI as replacement therapists, and in the last year alone we’ve seen a spike in lawsuits connecting chatbot interactions with self-harm and suicide cases in vulnerable users.
The emerging picture is not that machines are suffering or mentally unwell, but that a product being used for mental-health support is fundamentally misleading, escalating, and reinforcing dangerous thoughts.

Researchers at the University of Luxembourg treated the models as patients rather than tools that deliver therapy. They ran multi-week …

Italian MP Defends Former Papal Master of Ceremonies

Public support for Monsignor Marco Agostini, the former Master of Papal Ceremonies, has emerged in Italy. He was dismissed after an audio recording was circulated in which he was allegedly heard using offensive language about members of the Roman Curia. While a microphone was unintentionally left on ahead of a Christmas greeting, he reportedly said that they are all "assholes" and "faggots".
On 4 January, VeronaNews.net reported that Vito Comencini (Popolo Veneto), a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, had issued a public letter expressing solidarity with the prelate.
Comencini considers the dismissal 'unjust and foolish', adding that it represents a 'worrying sign of persecution'.
Neither the audio nor the dismissal has been accompanied by an official explanation from Vatican authorities.
The Italian politician is aware that Monsignor Agostini had been 'targeted for some time' and claims that the alleged interception merely served as justification for his removal.

The Council Fathers on Vatican II

There is plenty of evidence to show that Bishops and Cardinals who attended Vatican Council II were concerned from the start about its timing, its content and the serious omissions found in its documents.
While there is no doubt that it was a pivotal moment in the history of the Church, Vatican II represents for some a devastating rupture with Catholicism as it was always taught, while it remains for others the surprising revelation of a Catholicism which had hitherto not been discovered.
As a liberal, Pope Leo XIV falls into the latter camp and has
announced that he will begin a new catechesis series on Vatican II. He believes we must “continue to seek ways and means to implement its insights” and that “it will be important to get to know it again closely.”
In more conservative circles, many have woken up to the fact that implementation was never the problem. Like Communism, which its loyal adherents say has “not yet been implemented properly”, Vatican II contains integral errors …

Strong words from Archbishop Vigano: “The European Union is a criminal, subversive organization,,

Archbishop Vigano, in harsh words, stands in defense of farmers and, therefore, all of us:
“A subversive elite has taken control of the governments of almost all Western countries. Its emissaries in governments consider their own citizens as enemies to be eradicated through pandemics, wars, famines, and crime. For decades, globalists have proudly claimed authorship of depopulation projects, in the complicit silence of the mainstream press and of all civil and religious institutions. And if the crimes of the psychopandemic farce and the frauds of the climate emergency are now undeniable, it is increasingly evident that the sector to be eliminated is precisely that of agri-food, today too fragmented and therefore difficult to control at a global level.

Cardinal Parolin Has Allegedly Tried to Secure a Negotiated Exit for Maduro

On Christmas Eve, Cardinal Pietro Parolin urgently summoned Brian Burch, the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See. He wanted to press for details on Washington’s plans for Venezuela, WashingtonPost.com reported on January 9, citing U.S. government documents.
Cardinal Parolin served as apostolic nuncio to Venezuela from 2009 to 2013.
He wanted to push for a diplomatic solution that would allow the Venezuelan leader to step aside without bloodshed.
Lack of Clarity of US Endgame in Venezuela
Cardinal Parolin conceded that Nicolás Maduro had to go, but urged the United States to offer him a safe exit. He warned that a violent escalation risked severe regional destabilization.
He reportedly asked whether the United States was targeting "drug traffickers" or pursuing regime change.
According to "anonymous sources", Cardinal Parolin suggested that the United States set a clear deadline for Maduro’s departure and provide assurances for his family.
He also expressed that he was “very, very, very …More

Is baptism necessary for salvation ?

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

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).

13% of a U.S. Diocese Try "Ad Orientem" Eucharists

Throughout 2025, Bishop Daniel Felton of Duluth, Minnesota, has "permitted" nine parishes in the diocese to celebrate the Eucharist ad orientem, with the priest and congregation facing the same direction.
The "permissions" were granted following requests from parish priests and on a trial basis.
Bishop Felton began with an instruction issued in 2024. He wrote that celebrating the Eucharist facing the pews has been widely adopted in the Church since the Second Vatican Council. He added that some Catholics believe this posture has resulted in a loss of 'a sense of transcendence'. Bishop Felton required that both liturgical postures be treated with mutual respect. Priests had to explain their motivations for celebrating ad orientem to him personally and consult their parishioners beforehand.
The frequency of the posture varied by parish. Some communities celebrated ad orientem every Sunday, while others did so once a month.
The Diocese of Duluth comprises 69 parishes. The nine parishes …More

In the Diocese of Austin, I was instrumental in helping them develop a Latin ad orientem Novus Ordo (I knew that was the beginning of the end). I did it because they begged me, being the resident liturgical expert and having the ability to read and competently speak Latin. I made it a point to teach myself those rubrics (not really rubrics) so that I could have a knowledge of the false dichotomy.
The Latin Novus Ordo ad orientem is not the TLM. No way, no how. Lipstick on a pig (I speak of the liturgy, not the miracle of transubstantiation). That’s what this city has now. Good for them. They forced me out of the Church by making me overly bitter and frustrated.
It is still the same humanist liturgy it always is. Some slap on more makeup and have two deacons (one for the Word, one for the Eucharist) to simulate having an actual subdeacon. Utterly laughable and pathetic, nay synthetic.

sp2 . .

What this fine Bishop should have said was: that if any priest can take out a compass and face East, he is very free to say liturgy in that direction.
If you are going to return to true tradition, do it right, and not repeat past mistakes.

Bishop Eleganti: "Papal Teaching Has Become Incoherent"

Documents such as Fiducia Supplicans on homosexual "blessings" or Mater Populi Fidelis on Our Lady need to be corrected and given a “true interpretation in the sense of the traditional doctrine” in order to remain coherent with tradition, retired Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti told Michael Haynes on 8 January for PelicanPlus.com (Blogger software Ghost.org):
"The biggest problem is that we have never had a situation like this before, where the Dicastery or the Magisterium of the Church has become inconsistent and incoherent. That’s the great problem. We have to correct that."
The Bishop added: "As we have seen with Fiducia Supplicans, there has been resistance to the document, and good theological arguments have been put forward against it. The document is not well founded. So, resistance is arising, and you can observe that, in a second note, Cardinal Fernández downplays it a little."

Hound of Heaven

If the Papal 'teaching' is "inconsistent and incoherent", it does not follow or draw upon Christ's teachings which are the essence of consistency and coherency. Inconsistent and incoherent 'teachings' are nothing short of heresy. Any Pope worthy of the Seat would point that out and act accordingly.

Massachusetts father wins injunction against school that pushed LGBT books on 5-year-old son - LifeSite

Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 5:27 pm ESTFri Jan 9, 2026 - 8:36 pm EST
LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (
LifeSiteNews) — A Massachusetts father has won a preliminary injunction against a local school district that had insisted on exposing his five-year-old son to pro-LGBTQ books.
The case pitted a devout Christian father – cited as Alan L., father of J.L. in court documents – against the Lexington Public School District (LPSD) and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School (JEES).
The father objected to the content of certain books concerning sexual themes and contended that his child has been compelled “to participate in classroom instruction that promote[s] sexualized and ideological messages directly contrary to his family’s faith.”
He also contended that as a parent, he had the right to be notified before his son is exposed to objectionable sexual material and to be able to opt his child out of lessons and other classroom activities involving those materials.
Before bringing a civil suit before the court, …

HILDEBRAND, LEFEBVRE, MATTEI, GRUNER, FERRARA AND MARSHALL USED THE FALSE PREMISE TO INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II IN IGNORANCE.
Dietrich and Alice von Hildebrand, Paolo Pascualucci, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Roberto dei Mattei, Fr. Nicholas Gruner, Christopher Ferrara, Mons. Ignacio Barreiro and others were all interpreting Vatican Council II with Cushingism. So this line of traditionalist writers had it wrong on the Council. Their premise was wrong and so their conclusion was wrong.
Roberto dei Mattei will not announce that he made a mistake on Vatican Council II all these years
Taylor Marshall interprets St. Thomas Aquinas with Cushingism and not Feeneyism and so there is a rupture with Tradition for him.
Michael Davies, Atila Sinke Guimares, John Vennari interpreted Vatican Council II with a false premise. So there was an artificial rupture with extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Feeneyite), the Syllabus of Errors, Athanasius Creed etc.
