Journalists Raymond Arroyo and Robert Royal, and canon lawyer and priest Gerald Murray of New York talked on January 16 about the consistory of January 7-8. A short sequence, video below. Robert Royal commenting on Cardinal Grech’s contribution on synod: I think you hear that and you say, what in God’s name can that possibly mean? This is the gobbledygook we’ve been listening to for years about synodality and all this confusion. I mean, one of the things I’ve heard from sources is that many of these cardinals have said, "Look, we’re just confused about this. We’re tired of going over the same things again and again." These pronouncements keep coming out. When I read Cardinal Grech, I said to myself: This guy knows they haven’t gotten anything substantial done. You can try to preserve the illusion that there’s somehow a dynamic age of the Spirit underway, but it’s about to die. Raymond Arroyo: Well, he says there are good fruits here. He says fruits are blooming all over the place. …بیشتر

A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Worth Recovering | Home to the Sacred Heart Cardinal Dolan describes the tradition of consecrating houses to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as part of the “Worth Recovering” series.
Cardenal Dolan invita a colocar un crucifijo y consagrar el hogar al Sagrado Corazón El Cardenal Timothy Dolan, Arzobispo Emérito de Nueva York, invitó a los fieles a colocar un crucifijo en casa y a consagrar el hogar al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. “He estado repasando algunas prácticas que creo que vale la pena recuperar en nuestra vida católica. Ayer hablé sobre tener un crucifijo en casa. ¡Qué sencillo!”, dijo el purpurado en un vídeo publicado este jueves 15 de enero en su cuenta de X. hmtv
Sedevacantism Isn’t Traditional. It’s a Heresy in Latin Clothing. Sedevacantism sells itself as heroic fidelity: we are the last Catholics standing while Rome has fallen. It sounds dramatic. It sounds pure. It sounds—if you squint—like Athanasius contra mundum. It’s none of those things. Strip away the rhetoric, and sedevacantism collapses into something the Church has seen before, condemned before, and buried before: private judgment dressed up as tradition. The Church Fathers would have recognized it instantly. Start with the basic Catholic claim: Christ founded a visible Church, with a visible hierarchy, governed by a visible head. That’s not Vatican I spin. That’s Irenaeus, Cyprian, Augustine—men who fought real heresies, not imagined apocalypses. St. Irenaeus didn’t say, “Check Rome’s doctrine against your personal theological spreadsheet.” He said you know the true Church by public succession from the Apostles, above all at Rome. Augustine didn’t say, “When things look bad …بیشتر
That Rome has fallen into the deluge of scandals against the Faith and is worth only a God given purge - it is an objective fact. Responses to this fact are different - assuming "sede vacante" in many various versions is one kind of the reaction. It might be an error regarding the fact (whether the see is vacant or not - the Church will judge it in the future if God permits it) but most sedevacantists are not heretical.
I don’t understand how a Catholic can hold ZERO doubt about the authenticity of the hierarchy. I don’t remember the last time I heard something Catholic from Rome. I’m not convinced by sedevacantism per se I.e. I don’t think it can be held onto as something dogmatic. But I certainly think Catholics can hold it as an opinion without being heretics. Any Sede would tell you the church needs the papacy and that they love and hold the office in the highest esteem. I don’t buy all of the neo con arguments that an extended vacancy would necessarily mean the failure of the Church against the gates of hell. It’s Christs church, he told us there would be false shepherds whom the sheep would ignore. He will pull us through. I hold no malice toward those who disagree with sedevacantists. I can see where they are coming from. I think we live in a time where the devil has succeeded in pitting authority and dogma against each other to cause fierce infighting among the most faithful Catholics.

The popular Italian traditional website Messa in Latino, wrote Jan. 7 that it had contacted some anonymous but important cardinals who all said they were “discouraged and disappointed” about the relegation of the liturgy as a discussion topic. In comments to the Register Jan. 8, the website’s editor Luigi Casalini asked: “To whom did the Pope delegate this choice, and according to what criteria were these cardinals of the nine local churches selected in order to remove — in effect — two topics?” He also wondered “why cardinals sensitive to the issue” appear to have “made no attempt to lobby” for the liturgy to be included as a core topic of discussion, “even before the consistory.” The consistory, he added, “appears to be in perfect continuity with the Synods and the thought of Francis” — a reference to how recent synods were silent on the traditional liturgy.
Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, 76, of Managua, Nicaragua, did not attend the consistory held in Rome on 7–8 January. He stated that he was not invited, claiming that he had checked his emails, WhatsApp messages and communications from the College of Cardinals. However, on 8 January, senior Church sources told LaPrensaNi.com that Cardinal Brenes had received an invitation to participate in the consistory but had refused to go for undisclosed reasons. The sources also indicated that there may be ongoing or attempted negotiations with the Nicaraguan government. The Church has faced sustained confrontation with the Ortega regime, resulting in persecution, restrictions on religious activity and the forced exile of several bishops.

So..., not a 'computer guy'.... One does have to wonder, however, if he was as oblivious as this about checking his "social media" (in itself not necessarily a bad thing; some prelates - Prevost anyone? - are on it way too much!) before opening his mouth, is this really the kind of 'leadership' the Church requires at the moment ?!
Eva Vlaardingerbroek Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons The British government has revoked the travel authorisation of Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a Dutch conservative political commentator, prompting fresh accusations that the UK is cracking down on free speech and dissenting voices. Vlaardingerbroek revealed on X on Wednesday, January 14th, that her electronic travel authorisation (ETA) had been withdrawn, preventing her from travelling to the UK without a visa. Sharing an official notification from the British authorities, she wrote: “Holy sh*t. I’ve been banned from traveling to the UK. They revoked my ETA.” The notice stated: “Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good.” According to the document, the decision took effect on January 13th and cannot be appealed. Vlaardingerbroek drew a direct link between the decision and her recent criticism of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “Three days after …

This threefold woe consists in the greatness, the multitude, and the duration of the punishments. Woe, therefore, to the damned and to those who will be damned, because of the greatness, the multitude, and the duration of their torments! "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth!" First, there is the greatness of the torments, as Ezechiel saith: "Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire" (Ezech. XXIV, 9.) The bloody city is the multitude of the impious, of whom there will be an immense bonfire made in the great conflagration of the damned. Oh, how far removed from …بیشتر

"Religious sentiments were hurt": After almost 3 weeks, the diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart acknowledges, in typical Novus Ordo speak, the disaster that was the nationally televised 'Christmas Mass' featuring a living slime-alien as the Christ Child
The diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Germany, allegedly regrets its televised Christmas Eve Eucharist, which featured an adult woman covered in sticky rice paper who resembled a slimy alien in a manger. The Eucharist was broadcast Germanwide from the parish of St Mary’s in Stuttgart. The officiating priest, Thomas Steiger, said during the service: "The nativity scene shows a real human being, lying there miserable, naked and exposed." Next to him, the female actor breathed heavily and slowly writhed in the paper, which was apparently meant to represent the vernix covering a newborn child. "This is how radically God becomes human: close, touchable, without distance, real," said Rev Steiger. It was only on 12 January, after nearly three weeks of mounting criticism and online mockery, that Bishop Klaus Krämer of Rottenburg-Stuttgart published a statement on the diocesan website. It claims that the bishop has taken note of the feedback and carefully reviewed it over the past few days. "The …بیشتر
A recent performance in Beirut of Father Guilherme Peixoto sparked opposition from some Christians in Lebanon. “Not all need to like what I’m doing, but they need to respect. It’s music to bring the church outside of the church,” he said.
