U.S. send a military ariplane and lands it in Toluca, Mexico, maximum alarm. D.T. is moving his cards to try another invasion as he has said so many times that Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Greenland are in his list. He is the prelude to what's to come when the Anti-Christ appears, as more innocent Americans keep falling victims of ICE, some not reported killings and others ending in hospitals because of the beatings and shootings, and other military craft being used by ICE. Trump is provoking to be able to call the insurrection act or to call martial law nation wide and kill at his pleasure as he has no values at all for human life. Civil war is coming, and WW 3 is at the door, the door is opening now, all of a sudden we will hear the bombs exploding and millions being killed.

Cardinal Parolin Confirms Report on Vatican Mediation With Maduro

On Saturday, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin confirmed that he tried to find a solution in Venezuela that would avoid bloodshed, including seeking an agreement with Nicolás Maduro and other representatives of the government. The Cardinal added that these efforts ultimately failed.
Speaking on the sidelines of an event, Parolin said: "We tried what also appeared in some newspapers". This was an indirect reference to earlier reporting by Washington Post about Vatican involvement in efforts to secure a safe passage for Maduro before his capture by the United States.
Cardinal Parolin added that the Vatican had always supported a peaceful solution, but that it eventually found itself faced with a fait accompli, meaning the situation had developed beyond what diplomacy could influence.
In short, Parolin’s Saturday remarks publicly confirmed that:
- The Vatican tried to broker a peaceful exit for Maduro
- This included negotiating directly or indirectly with Maduro and his …Hiroc’h

LIFE AND LABORS of BISHOP BARAGA First Bishop of Marquette, Michigan
Fr. Chrysostom Verwyst, OFM
PDF
Frederic Baraga was born on June 29, 1797, in the manor house at Mala Vas (German: Kleindorf) near the village of Dobrnič in Lower Carniola, a province of the Duchy of Carniola in the Austrian Empire. Today it is part of the Municipality of Trebnje in Slovenia. He was baptized Irenaeus Fridericus Paraga at Saint George's Church in Dobrnič, but never used the name "Irenaeus".
Frederic was the fourth of five children born to Janez Baraga and Marija Katarina Jožefa née Jenčič. His sister Antonija Höffern became the first Slovenian woman to immigrate to the United States. Upon her father's death, Baraga's mother inherited an estate at Mala Vas and substantial fortune. She died in 1808, and her husband in 1812. Frederic spent his childhood in the house of Jurij Dolinar, a lay professor at the diocesan seminary at Ljubljana.
Between 1809 and 1815, during the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, France …Hiroc’h

“I Choose All!” How the Lord Called Me to Be a Lay Carmelite

"I Choose All!" How the Lord Called Me to Be a Lay Carmelite - Busted Halo

In Lumen Gentium (Light of the Nations), the voice of the Second Vatican Council urged lay people to rise up in their roles within the larger body of Christ, stating, “…may every opportunity be given them so that, according to their abilities and the needs of the times, they may zealously participate in the saving work of the Church” (#33).
Besides raising families, managing homes, and working in professions, lay people are called to be actively involved in their local Church and community — but what about those who feel called to something more?
Succinctly defined, laypersons (whether they’re single or married) who strive for Christian perfection under the guidance of a religious order while still living in the world do so within Lay Third Orders. These men and women are considered members of a particular religious community in a tertiary branch, and they make promises for life to live within the charisms of the order they select.

WATCH: Cardinals in Conflict – The Future of the Latin Mass and Synodality

A battle royale is underway inside the Vatican—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. On this edition of The Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal break down new details from the recent meeting of cardinals in Rome, where divisions over synodality and the Traditional Latin Mass are now boiling into open conflict.
Cardinal Joseph Zen stunned the room by denouncing what he called “Bergoglian synodality,” warning the process has become manipulated and even “insulting” to bishops—raising urgent questions about authority, hierarchy, and whether the Church is being pushed toward confusion and division.
Meanwhile, Cardinal Arthur Roche issued a sharp letter attacking the Traditional Latin Mass, arguing the conflict is not about preference—it’s about the Church’s identity. The Posse explains why this fight matters, what Vatican II actually called for, and why this liturgical showdown isn’t going away.
Plus: the Vatican financial trial involving Cardinal Becciu,…

This Synod idea with Laity present is just about to blow up in leo's face.
The German and Spanish Church want to push the envelope to be all inclusive in their ideologies, and WILL in fact erupt into chaos when leo tries to stamp it out.
The problem in the Church is the financial handcuffs that every Bishop and Cardinal has that prevents them from speaking out on this matter.
A fine example is when Cardinal Burke was told by the Vatican to exit and move out of the Vatican property apartment you occupy.
To prevent this from happening, the well to do laity with additional living quarters, should contact their favorite Cardinal or Bishop and offer their services.
Just imagine - having a Cardinal say daily Liturgy at your abode!

Pedaling Away From “Illicit Religion”: China Turns Bicycle Races Into Propaganda Arenas

In Yiwu, Zhejiang, participants in a sports event are indoctrinated against the “xie jiao” while cycling up the hills.
by Qi Junzao
The Yivu race: anti-xie-jiao propaganda is not far away.

On December 14, the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang
province hosted what might have been a perfectly ordinary sporting event: a cycling hill‑climb invitational. One thousand riders gathered at the scenic Shili Taohua Wu area to test their stamina on the winding Yan’kou Lake track. But in China, no public gathering is too innocent to escape the heavy hand of propaganda.
Suddenly, the event was transformed into a “sports + anti-xie‑jiao extravaganza.”
For readers unfamiliar with the term, “xie jiao” is often translated as “cults” or “evil cults,” but this is not accurate. It designates in China since the Middle Ages “organizations spreading heterodox teachings,” and the powers that be decide which teachings are “heterodox.” Today, it is a deliberately broad and elastic label wielded by the Chinese …

Leo XIV Promotes Mexican Archbishop Purified by Mazatec Indigenious Rites

Pope Leo XIV appointed today Coadjutor José Armando Álvarez Cano as Archbishop of Morelia, Mexico. Morelia is one of Mexico’s most important ecclesiastical jurisdictions.
Álvarez was born in Jiquilpan, in the Diocese of Zamora, in January 1960. He was ordained a priest in 1986 for the Diocese of Zamora and holds a licentiate in pastoral theology.
After serving in various parishes and spending two years as a missionary priest in Peru, he returned to Mexico as a parish priest and head of clergy formation in his diocese.
He was appointed Bishop of the Territorial Prelature of Huautla in 2011 (10 parishes, 24 priests) by Benedict XVI and was ordained a bishop in January 2012.
In 2019, he was transferred to become Bishop of Tampico (72 parishes, 147 priests).
In January 2025, Pope Francis – with his Prefect Robert Prevost of the Congregation of Bishops – appointed him Coadjutor of Morelia (242 parishes, 455 priests).

As the years go by, you realize that real friendship isn’t about how many contacts you have in your phone or how many smiling photos you can post. It’s about the people who stay when everyone else quietly fades out. The ones who see your tears, your weaknesses, your defeats — and still hold your hand without letting go.
True friends don’t need long explanations. One look is enough for them to know if you’re hurting or if you’re genuinely happy. And even in silence, there’s a warmth between you that speaks louder than words.
Friends like that are a gift from God. There aren’t many of them — and that’s the point. One sincere friend is worth more than a hundred casual acquaintances. And as the years pass, you find yourself quietly thanking God for the few He left in your life — the ones you can walk through the darkest seasons with.
Because friendship shaped by love and loyalty is a small glimpse of eternity in our very temporary world.

Holy Land Patriarchs Denounce "Christian Zionism" as Harmful Ideology

The Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem denounce “Christian Zionism” as a harmful ideology.
In a joint statement on January 17 (below), they write: “Recent activities undertaken by local individuals who advance damaging ideologies, such as Christian Zionism, mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock. These undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East.”
The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches further note with concern that these individuals have welcomed at official levels both locally and internationally.

A Statement from the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem:
The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in the Holy Land affirm before the faithful and before the world that the flock of Christ in this land is entrusted to the Apostolic Churches which have borne their sacred ministry across centuries with steadfast devotion. Recent activities undertaken by local individuals who advance damaging ideologies, such as Christian Zionism, mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock. These undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East. Holy Scripture teaches us that “we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another” (Romans 12:5).
