Thu Jan 8, 2026 - 4:25 pm EST VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV announced Wednesday that he is beginning a catechesis series to “closely” study the Second Vatican Council, which many priests and scholars have affirmed to be in need of correction. “We are beginning a new catechesis series dedicated to the Second Vatican Council and to a fresh reading of its Documents,” Leo wrote in an X post. “The Council’s Magisterium remains even today the North Star guiding the Church’s journey.” We are beginning a new catechesis series dedicated to the Second Vatican Council and to a fresh reading of its Documents.

09.01.2026 POPE LEO AND THE CONSISTORY VIOLATE ARISTOLE’S PRINCIPLE OF NON CONTRADICTION AND NEWTON’S LAWS OF PHYSICS : TO APPEASE THE POLITICAL - LEFT Pope Leo violates the Principle of Non Contradiction of Aristotle, in the interpretation of Vatican Council II. The Consistory follows him. If someone is saved outside the Catholic Church, without ‘faith and baptism’ (AG 7), he is in Heaven and known only to God. But for Pope Leo and the Consistory, he is an explicit exception for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442. In other words, he is visible on earth, to be an exception for the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Catholic Church. But an invisible person cannot be an exception for EENS. Someone has to be there, to exist in our reality, to be an exception. BOX OF ORANGES If there is a box oranges and there is an apple in the middle of that box, then that apple is an exception, since it is different but also because it is there in that box.…More
Bishop Robert Barron has said that synodality, which questions settled doctrine, must not become a “permanent feature of the Church.” In a statement published on January 6 on X, the bishop of Winona-Rochester in southern Minnesota said, “I understand that one of the topics under consideration at the Consistory of Cardinals is synodality. I’m speaking as a bishop who was an elected delegate to both rounds of the Synod and Synodality in Rome and who has just presided over a local synod in my own diocese.” “Synods are good and useful tools for the determination of practical pastoral strategies, but they oughtn’t to be forums for debate regarding doctrine,” he stated. “When settled teaching becomes a subject for synodal determination, the Church devolves into relativism and self-doubt – as is clearly evident in the misconceived ‘Synodal Way’ in Germany.” Continue reading at LifeSite News Post Views: 66
1 John 5:14-21 “The Son of God has come and has given us discernment to know the one who is true.” Discernment is given to us by the Holy Spirit, who is God. John 3:22-30 Saint John the Baptist said, “This joy of mine has been made complete.” John the Baptist’s joy lies in welcoming Jesus and knowing that salvation has entered the world. Jesus teaches us this. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
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 …

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
What did naive nitwits think was going to happen? That the College of Cardinals whom Francis appointed the majority of was going to hold a vote to bring back the Roman Rite? Or even to hold a substantive, rigorous discussion on the issue? Are you kidding?
Also Daniel Davis with a take on what's going on. U.S. Seizes Russian-Flagged Oil Tanker /Lt Col Daniel Davis Trump is surely leading us towards a war soon. If not for Putin and Russia being so patient and level headed, there would have been a war many years ago. If it was any other country, America would have been attacked long before now. People should be thanking GOD for putting Putin into power in Russia and not another trump.
Among those whose names remain hidden are figures such as Saint Hildegard and Saint Lioba, Martin Buber and Edith Stein, as well as all bishops since the Second World War: from Albert Stohr and Hermann Volk to Cardinal Karl Lehmann.
Sounds like an idea that some CathoMarxist "Synodal Way" committee thought up. They noisily engage in public self-flaggelation to avoid having to do the only thing that would actually help, i.e., de-homosexualizing the clergy ranks.
A group of Catholics in Lebanon have launched a legal bid to prevent an upcoming performance by Portuguese priest Guilherme Peixoto. His "music" blends electronic dance beats with religious imagery. He is scheduled to perform at the AHM nightclub in Beirut on 10 January. The petitioners have submitted a request to a Beirut summary affairs judge, seeking to halt the concert. They argue that the performance 'undermines church values' and 'misrepresents Christian rituals', citing concerns over a priest performing as a DJ in a nightclub. However, resorting to the state in such matters is futile. Padre Peixoto is due to preside over a Eucharist in Kaslik on the same day. Supporters rightly argue that his ministry and artistic work are officially recognised by church authorities in many countries. He also performed at World Youth Day in Lisbon in 2023, just before Pope Francis's Eucharist. #newsFaulcgdlqq

2 Peter 2:1-2 "There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies and, denying the Master who bought them, will bring swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their debauchery, and because of them, the Way of truth will be blasphemed. Romans 6:23 : "The wages of sin is death".
It's like the time I visited an airport chapel that actually had a scheduled daily Mass for travelers AND the Blessed Sacrament present in a tabernacle - BUT they also had a "prayer rug corner" for Muslims. Some came in while I was saying the breviary and I resolved NOT to leave until they did to ensure no profanation. Luckily I had a long layover so I silently prayed the Jesus Prayer as they did their "rituals" in the back.
The Spanish homosexual lobby group Crismhom held training sessions at the priestly seminary of Madrid, InfoVaticana.com reported on January 8. The Archbishop of Madrid is Cardinal José Cobo. The formation program consisted of a twelve-hour course held on 7 November, 14 November, and 5 December 2025. The sessions were led by Rev. Jesús Sastre García, a priest of the Archdiocese of Madrid and the spiritual director of Crismhom. His written work includes an article on “Accompanying young people,” with special attention to homosexual youth. According to InfoVaticana, he defends sodomy as a way of expressing human love. At the session held on 14 November, Crismhom's pastoral and anthropological deviations were presented in a favourable light. References to liberation theology were also made and proposed as a preferred pastoral framework. Following the completion of the sessions, several deacons reportedly expressed their objections to the rector of the seminary, Rev. Antonio Secilla …More
