On 24 January, Pope Leo XIV appointed Rev. Cyril Buhayan Villareal as the new Bishop of Kalibo in the Philippines. CatholicCulture.org has reported critically on his theological positions regarding sexual morality on January 26. Born in 1974, Villareal was ordained a priest in 2001 and has served as a seminary instructor (2012–16), cathedral rector (2016–18), vicar general (2016–21), diocesan administrator (2021–23) and pastor (since 2023). In his 2011 theological master's thesis submitted at the University of Vienna, Austria, Monsignor Villareal showed sympathy towards revisionist arguments that question the Church's teaching on contraception. First, Villareal acknowledges that the Church's teaching "establishes a close bond between sexuality and procreation, linking the two in matrimony". He straightforwardly affirms God’s design of sexuality: "The Church judges the morality of the sexual act based on whether it is separable or inseparable from the unitive and procreative significance …okunengi
January 27th - Saint of the Day: Pope Saint Vitalian A saint for the days when the Church feels like it is getting pulled apart from every direction. Meet Pope Saint Vitalian (Pope, 657–672), the quiet powerhouse who held the line with peace when theology and politics were trying to hijack the faith. Here is the wild part. An emperor actually came to Rome, worshiped at St. Peter’s, and then left the city stripped of bronze treasures, even taking bronze from the Pantheon. Saint Vitalian kept his soul steady when the world got ugly. He fought for unity without selling the truth. He dealt with major rebellion from Ravenna. He helped keep Rome and Constantinople from exploding into total rupture. And he shaped the future of Christianity in England by sending Theodore of Tarsus to lead the Church after Whitby. This saint is proof that holiness is not always loud. Sometimes it is staying faithful, calm, and firm when everyone else is losing it. Want the full …okunengi

If the proponents of the Council were acting in good faith, nothing would prevent them from recognizing the error and remedying it, returning to what has proven effective and valid for millennia. But it is precisely their bad faith that impels them to deny the evidence and persist in passing off Vatican II as a “prophetic event” in the face of which no second thought, no reluctance is possible. If the faithful understood the deception of which they have been victims, they would also understand the dishonesty with which Cardinals and Bishops have acted and continue to act, and they would distance themselves from it. That is why no derogation from its application must be permitted, all the more so if these exceptions demonstrate how much better the “old liturgy” of the “old church” was.
On 27 January 2026, Cardinal Víctor Fernández opened the plenary session of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Tucho placed the legal system of the Inquisition alongside modern atrocities. He said that we must be aware of our limitations and our need for God "so as not to fall into a terrible deception - the same one that led to the excesses of the Inquisition, the world wars, the Holocaust and the massacres in Gaza". He also used relativistic language, quoting Pope Leo XIV that "no one possesses the whole truth". Tucho added: "We must reflect, think, and analyze reality, but while also listening to others, welcoming their perspectives—which allows us to perceive other aspects of that same reality - and opening ourselves to other points of view." In line with Pope Francis’s outdated vision, Tucho urged us to pay attention to the "peripheries", "where things are seen differently". Finally, he criticised online discourse, noting that "on any blog, anyone - even without having …okunengi
I don't speak ex cathedra. I speak ex sensus cummuniones (common freaking sense). Oh, and I don't write porm literature while pretending to be a cardinal. Oops.
@tearlach Dear tearlach, Your words " Donal Trump this man, whom many Catholics hate" are saying this about many Catholics lumped together, for most Catholics who are Faithful Catholics would not hate the man, but would hate what the man is responsible for doing. Also, are you a Faithful Catholic? If so, then please do not bear false witness against those who do not hate Trump as you could not even possibly know about this while ALL Catholics are sinners and imperfect. In addition, if any Catholics hate a person, then they might need prayers or might be struggling with this or might be CINO [Catholic in name only]. I want to encourage you to pray your daily Holy Rosary. We will pray for you today in our Rosary. GOD BLESS you.
@Pierre Henri Excusez mon français, mais je fais de mon mieux. S'il vous plaît, informez-vous. Que Dieu vous bénisse. Donal Trump cet homme, que de nombreux catholiques encensent, tue des innocents, détruit des familles, exécute des citoyens qui filment les exactions de sa police secrète (l'ICE) contre des personnes manifestant pacifiquement contre son gouvernement, et les médias locaux et nationaux mentent en les qualifiant de terroristes nationaux. Regardez les médias indépendants. Il est scandaleux que la France ou d'autres pays catholiques soutiennent un criminel, un pédophile et un raciste au comportement nazi, simplement parce qu'il se prétend pro-vie, alors qu'il autorise le meurtre de personnes innocentes, l'enlèvement et la disparition d'enfants dont les parents ignorent le sort, et qui sont citoyens américains. Un catholique ne vendrait jamais ses valeurs au diable pour une simple corruption. Car le sang des innocents retombera également sur leurs mains, quels que soient …okunengi
Completed in 2017–2018, the renovation transformed Sacred Heart Catholic Church (built in the mid-1980s). In 2016, Fr. Sullivan invited New Jerusalem Studios to reorganize the church around a more beautiful and reverent celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. The work included new tile, a redesigned stone altar and ambo, architectural elements, lighting, refinished pews, and a major mural program. The murals center on Christ the King and High Priest, flanked by the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, with Trinitarian imagery above and a gold-leaf tabernacle niche inspired by the Tilma of Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Before and After: Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Phoenix, Arizona
Home » Architecture , Painting » Before and After: Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Phoenix, Arizona New Jerusalem Studios is a firm based in Phoenix, Arizona, which "specializes in theologically informed liturgical design for renovation and the creation of large scale sacred art murals." We have shared some of their work before and we are pleased to be able to share one of their (relatively) recent renovation projects, which nicely fits in with our continued and ever popular 'Before and After' series. The project was completed in 2017-2018, involving Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Phoenix, Arizona, a church that was built in the mid 1980's. The Studio provides us with a bit of background: Fr. Sullivan approached New Jerusalem Studios in 2016 with the ambitious vision of organizing the parish around the beautiful and reverent celebration of the Sacred Liturgy and a plan for complete renovation of the interior of the church. The renovation included new tile in the sanctuary and nave,…
Paul Kramer 24 Jan 2026 WHAT THE HYSTERICAL MAGA CROWD AND THEIR FÜHRER WILL ACCOMPLISH -- GLOBAL COMMUNISM Today I was struck with the understanding of why a political grouplet of Americans (the MAGAtard Trump supporters) are rabidly in favour of being stripped of their basic, constitutionally guaranteed civil and religious rights -- and in blind enthusiasm, cheer on the tyrant who robs them of their most cherished birthright as Americans -- their LIBERTY. As with the rabid supporters of Hitler and Stalin, they believe the verse in the Psalms applies to them: "Though a thousand fall at your side, and 10,000 at your right side, you it will not touch." As long as they rabidly support their Leader or Führer, they enjoy the favour of the commanding heights. They don't need rights. They think they have something better -- immunity, impunity. The wrath of the State's punishing arm won't touch them, but will strike only the "others". But when the Supreme Leader's realm and power unravel, he …okunengi
@Jeffrey AdeI think there are a lot of idiots on this site too—Trump, Jaydee Vance, and current Republican supporters... I always think about it... My precious online friend and brother-like Jeffrey... Even in the recent Alex Pretti murder case, despite him possessing a firearm under so-called Minnesota law—more accurately, U.S. law—the video shows he was already subdued and in no position to harm anyone with the gun. Therefore, shooting him dead on the spot was utterly absurd. Most American police officers, even when using firearms in genuinely desperate and dangerous situations, often shoot at the legs or other areas to incapacitate, rather than killing... How could ICE, which doesn't even have that authority over ordinary citizens, kill someone like that? Trump, Vance, their minions, and their foolish supporters claim that killing communists and rioters is acceptable. But following that logic, it would also mean that shooting dangerous Republicans during a Democratic president's …okunengi
Truth Is Beautiful When It's Lived St. John Chrysostom, celebrated for his eloquent preaching, exemplified living the faith despite persecution. His life, marked by joy and charity, demonstrated the beauty of the truth he preached.

#Minnesota. Twin Cities rap and hip-hop artist Nur-D was aggressively detained by federal agents during protests at the scene of the killing of Alex Pretti on Saturday. Nur-D was detained following a crowd dispersion operation by ICE. He is heard screaming: "You're gonna kill me. That's what you want?" Nur-D later issued a statement confirming that he is safe and his wife, who could be heard screaming at the scene, is also safe. Follow us -> LiveLeak (Telegram – a new era of messaging
[Saint Patrick - mid-fifth to early-sixth century; Roman Britain/Ireland; Missionary, Bishop; Apostle of Ireland] “30. For that reason, I give thanks to him who strengthened me in all things, so that I should not be hindered in my setting out and also in my work which I was taught by Christ my Lord; but more, from that state of affairs I felt, within me, no little courage, and vindicated my faith before God and man. 31. Hence, therefore, I say boldly that my conscience is clear now and hereafter. God is my witness that I have not lied in these words to you. 32. But rather, I am grieved for my very close friend, that because of him we deserved to hear such a prophecy. The one to whom I entrusted my soul! And I found out from a goodly number of brethren, before the case was made in my defense (in which I did not take part, nor was I in Britain, nor was it pleaded by me), that in my absence he would fight in my behalf. Besides, he told me himself: “See, the rank of bishop goes to you” -…okunengi

Policing experts explain and point out details of Alex Pretti and how he had NO GUN! Murdered in cold blood. Just because they wanted to kill someone. Tired of him struggling to get away from them as they beat him. Once again I am not allowed to even leave the link in Description. When I click on it, another language shows up on Yahoo. So once again I can only leave you the title of the article with the video. One called it murder. Some need more information. How policing experts see the Pretti shooting.

Some of the incidents occurred in New York, Florida and North Carolina, the bulletin said. ICE Agents in the U.S. are Trained by Israeli …
In the Belgian diocese of Namur, Abbé Maurice Léonard, a former dean, has died at the age of 85. His death was announced this week by the Diocese, where he was known as an "open and socially committed" priest, particularly due to his many years of service in Andenne. He retired in 2015. In addition to the diocese's obituary, which focused on his ecclesiastical career and pastoral legacy, his family published a second obituary. This notice mentions a "companion", a certain Sylvie Rase. It also lists four "children of the heart" and "his beloved grandchildren." #newsNuzvpyacoi
These two read the identical and bogus script of identical psychological mind-manipulating propaganda and lies so that the U.S. citizens will be seduced AS USUAL. This short video is the evidence of proof that the deep state actors are PLACED before us not only in the propaganda MSM Communications' venues, but also in the propaganda machine of the "high places" within the system of injustices.

"Let this be clear to all those who reduce their opponents ad hitlerum. A Nazi is someone nostalgic for the Third Reich, as it existed between 1933 and 1945. Someone who would like to return to this regime, with everything that characterized it, such as the Final Solution. A fascist is an admirer of Mussolini, who would like to reestablish the political regime of the Duce even today. A Bonapartist is a supporter of Napoleon Bonaparte, who would like to return to the First Empire and its characteristics, or to those of the Second Empire of Napoleon III. Things are clear, limpid. So, are Donald Trump and his voters Nazis or fascists? Certainly not; they are even in total opposition to Nazism and fascism, and they would certainly fight them if they were to be reinstated. The same would have been true for Charlie Kirk. He would have, and did, give his life to save you from it. Just like Corey Comperatore and all the others around the world who have been killed because of your stupidity …okunengi
