Leo XIV’s consistory in January did not involve a general debate, Cardinal Raymond Burke told Edward Pentin for his Substack.com-account on 16 January. The consistory adopted a format closer to Francis’s synods, with discussion confined almost entirely to small groups:"All the discussion took place in the small group, and then in the general session there was simply a report from the secretaries." Divide and Conquer Burke added that the way the consistory was structured did not allow for so-called free interventions. The two plenary sessions permitted only brief interventions: "Each intervention was limited to three minutes, so just 15 cardinals could speak in one session." With more than 160 cardinals present, many were left unheard. In the small groups, "the topics were assigned, and then there was a whole structure that had to be followed at the tables". Every Pope Appoints the Bishops He Wants Beyond the consistory itself, Cardinal Burke expressed concerns about the Pope’s many …Àteru
The pope should only confirm bishops, not appoint them. The local canons of the diocese (now virtually non-existent) elected their bishop, like Cardinals elect the Pope. It is a more pyramidal shape of the Church which conforms to her actual shape, with God at the peak.

It also blocked her from visiting the United States at our invitation. It’s also cancelling local elections, and curbing the right to a jury trial."

Rome Seals Jubilee; Hope Endures Beyond Doors | Shalom World News As the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope has come to a close on 6 January 2026, a solemn ceremony took place on Tuesday night, January 13, as the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore was sealed in a ceremonial rite led by Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, with Monsignor Ľubomír Welnitz and Fr Diego Giovanni Ravelli in attendance. A bronze box was placed within the wall, containing the closing protocol, keys, pontifical medals dating back to 2016, and a commemorative basilica medal. Similar rites are scheduled for the Basilica of Saint John Lateran (Wednesday), Saint Paul Outside the Walls (Thursday), and St. Peter’s Basilica (Friday) as part of the Jubilee’s conclusion. The Jubilee, opened by Pope Francis on Christmas Eve 2024 and officially concluded by Pope Leo, invites the faithful to deeper conversion and mercy. Traditionally celebrated every 25 years, the next Ordinary Jubilee is anticipated in 2033, a year …Àteru
I write today with a heavy heart about a personal faith-related discussion that I had yesterday with a local Vicar—the matter related to a material desecration that took place (of all days) on Christmas Day. A friend and I were both witnesses to it. While the incident was a misunderstanding, it was clearly and blatantly avoidable. Anyone with a discerning heart and mind could obviously see the circumstances that lent themselves to it. This same friend and I wrote a letter to the Vicar about it. We did receive an appointment to discuss the matter in person. However, by the end of the discussion, the vicar’s posture and message regarding the incident became clear. And, while not explicit, the general message was: “s#!t happens” For Catholics, the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. Everything else is a distant second. It was the equivalent of hearing from the doctor charged with caring for your father or mother that they fell down the stairs during their hospital stay……Àteru
On 15 January, Catholics in the Diocese of Charlotte, North Carolina, prayed the Rosary publicly to protest against recent liturgical restrictions imposed by Bishop Michael Martin. These measures ban the use of kneelers for Communion, which will take effect on 16 January. The faithful gathered in front of the diocesan pastoral centre in an act of reparation.
January 15 in Charlotte, in the cold and in front of the chancery, faithful gathered to pray for our diocese, for Bishop Martin, and in reparation for his liturgical directives.
THE CASSOCK The CASSOCK is a sign of consecration to God. Its black color is a sign of mourning. The priest is dead to the world, because everything worldly no longer attracts him. It is decorated with 33 buttons on the front, representing the age of Our Lord. There are 5 buttons on the sleeves, representing the 5 wounds of Our Lord. It also features 2 side clips that symbolize the humanity and divinity of Our Lord. The priest wears it with a band around his waist, a symbol of chastity and celibacy. Some have another 7 buttons on the upper arm, symbolizing the 7 sacraments, with which the priest comforts the faithful. The cassock is also a sacred remedy against vanity. While an ordinary man needs to spend time in front of his wardrobe or the mirror to check if that jacket matches that shirt or if the color of the tie is appropriate, the priest wears the cassock and that's it. You don't even need to ask yourself “what will I wear today?” Your outfit is one! Therefore, it is also a symbol …Àteru
PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY JUST SAID IT OUT LOUD “I believe the progress that we have made and the partnership (with China) sets us up well for the New… World… Order.” Not rushed. Not off the cuff. He pauses between every word - New… World… Order - like he wants it to land. This wasn’t code. This wasn’t a slip. This was said out loud, on camera, deliberately.
01/16/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. This motto was proclaimed in 1939 by Polish Marshal Edward Rydz Śmigły. At that time, it concerned German demands regarding Gdynia and the Free City of Danzig. There is no need to mention how that turned out. Today, history is repeating itself, but there are fundamental differences. We have an unprecedented situation in which friends with an 80-year history are beginning to quarrel. The danger of an occupation of Greenland by the US threatens only Denmark, whose colony this island is. It would be different if Trump were to go much further and take over Canada in one way or another. The French islands in Canada are the archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, an autonomous overseas territory of France in the Atlantic Ocean, near the coast of Newfoundland. These islands are also remnants of French colonies. Therefore, I am not surprised that Emmanuel Macron, who has shown “solidarity” with Denmark, has decided to support Denmark by sending 15…
«Satan really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church.» "At last, those who will survive all of these events will once more proclaim God and His Glory and serve Him like before, when the world was not so corrupted. Go, My child and proclaim this! I shall always remain by your side to help you." THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA A great chastisement will fall on the entire human race; not today as yet, not tomorrow, but in the second half of the Twentieth Century. No longer does order reign anywhere and Satan will reign over the highest places directing the course of events. He (Satan) really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church. Also for the Church a time of Her greatest trials will come. Cardinals will oppose Cardinals; Bishops will oppose Bishops and Satan will march amid their ranks, and in Rome there will be changes. What is rotten will fall, and what will fall will never rise again. The Church will be darkened and the world deranged by terror. A great war …Àteru
16.01.2026 LIST OF PRIESTS NEEDED WHO INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONALLY ALIGNED WITH THE ROMAN MISSAL AND TRADITION Latin Mass groups must make films and publish articles which show there is a new discovery within the Catholic Church which supports the Roman Missal and the Latin Mass and not Pope Leo and cardinals Roche and Fernandez. THE FILM The film, like the one on Charlotte, North Carolina, mentions the closure or restrictions on the Latin Mass. This is being done by bishops who interpret Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church irrationally and so unethically. They also support new versions of the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms, which make obsolete the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Roman Missal at the Latin Mass. It creates exceptions for also the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed and the Syllabus of Pope Pius IX. This is public heresy and schism since now it is known that Magisterial Documents can be re-interpreted rationally …Àteru
Did you know that when a squirrel finds an orphaned baby squirrel, the first thing she does is feed it and wait? She watches for a day… then two… then three — hoping the parents will come back. If no one shows up, she doesn’t walk away. She adopts the baby as her own. She feeds it, warms it, teaches it how to survive, and raises it right alongside her litter as if it had always belonged. Squirrels also have a tender ritual that most people never hear about: when a female greets her partner after he’s been out gathering food, she gently touches his face — as if to wipe the exhaustion off him. And the male shows love his own way: he brings her the best nuts he can find — walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds — whatever the forest has to offer. That’s how a squirrel family lives: Mom Squirrel, Dad Squirrel, and their babies — built on quiet care and mutual effort. But here’s the part that always stops biologists in their tracks: Roughly half of the seeds squirrels bury for “hard times” are …Àteru
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] “Chapter 52 ~ The Mother blesses her Son and prays to him that his words might be spread all over the world and take root in the hearts of his friends. And about how the Virgin is compared to a wonderful flower growing in a garden, and about the words of Christ that were sent through the bride to the pope and to other prelates of the Church. The Holy Virgin spoke to the Son and said: “Blessed be you, my Son and my God, Lord of angels and King of glory! I beg of you that the words that you have spoken may take root in the hearts of your friends and that their minds may cling as firmly to these words as the pitch with which Noah’s ark was plastered, which neither storm-waves nor winds could break and dissolve.

The Eucharist: "This is how my words are, since the more a man eats and chews on them with a burning love for me, the more he is fed with the desire for heaven and the sweetness of the divine inner love, and the more he burns in my love and charity."

Vatican satanists are intelligently using Vatican 2 and we should not accept such discourse. By slapping "sede" label they alienate us from majority of orthodox but lukewarm Catholics. To Vatican satanists it's much more dangerous to talk about 2013 coup that brought this satanic regime even though they were present in Vatican for over a century.
Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra Elitist billionaires Bill Gates, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, and Jeff Bezos are targeting Greenland for a radical experiment, a so called freedom city modeled as a network state. The proposal envisions carving out small corporate run territories, described by critics as a form of tech Zionism. At the center of the plan is AI driven extraction of rare earth minerals critical to modern electronics, laying the groundwork for a new tech dominated frontier.
Not only CAN you - You SHOULD. Here’s why. Yesterday, I participated in a focus group as part of a research study for a friend’s Masters Research. The Topic was DIGITAL DETOX. While digital usage varied greatly, the feeling was unanimous: The less digital, the better. Moreover, there were a handful of themes that continually resurfaced in the conversation. Things like: The importance of silence The need for relief The continuous stream of information Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) The fact of the matter is clear. Our brains are NOT designed to deal with the amount and speed of information that they are presently encountering. Trying to get “caught up” (another recurring theme) is thereforea losing strategy. So what to do? Slow down. Retreat is not surrender. In a sample of 8 people, I believe all, except one, said they were less stressed during digital detox than outside of it. Your time is your most valuable asset. I’ve been saying for years now that the ability to simply FOCUS is quickly …Àteru
