Former Irish president Mary McAleese has claimed that the baptism of children is a human rights violation that should be outlawed. Since leaving office, she has campaigned for radical changes within Catholicism, supported by academic posts and Jesuit accolades. These include a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical Gregorian University (2018). However, her views have been deemed too heterodox for a Vatican conference under the Holy See (2018). She openly disagrees with Church teachings on marriage, homosexuality and abortion, and has particular criticism for the male-only priesthood, dismissing Catholic doctrine as "unscientific sexist nonsense".
Mon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:18 pm ESTMon Jan 12, 2026 - 12:30 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — The former president of Ireland claimed that infant baptism violates children’s human rights. The Irish Times published an excerpt from a recent talk by Mary McAleese at University College Cork (UCC), in which the heterodox Catholic made her case against infant baptism. “Throughout the world, there continues a long-standing, systemic and overlooked severe restriction on children’s rights with regard to religion,” the former president of Ireland wrote. “It restricts children’s rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948 and United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989, to which both Ireland and the Holy See – which governs the Catholic Church and is effectively the author of canon law – are State Parties.” McAleese, who was president of Ireland from 1997 to 2011, argued that children are restricted in their religious freedom by infant baptism, to …
Our Lady warned us that the final battle will be against the family. These globalists use "children's rights" as an excuse to assert that children are the property of the State, not the offspring of parents. That's why there is so much human trafficking and Sexual abuse sanctioned by government!

12.01.2026 POPE LEO, FISCHELLA, SPADARO ARE ALIGNED WITH THE TRADTIONALISTS WHEN THE RATIONAL PREMISE IS USED TO INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II EWTN has to interpret Vatican Council II only rationally and then they will be affirming the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed and the Syllabus of Pope Pius IX. The Catholic National Reporter is aligned with the Society of St. Pius X when they both interpret Vatican Council II with only the rational premise I mentioned yesterday. There is no denial from Sean Winters and John Allen Jr. They agree with me. In the same Archbishop Rino Fisichella and Fr. Antonio Spadaro sj are in the same theological boat as the traditionalist St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire, USA when the premise and inference are rational. So we know more have a liberal Vatican Council II and so the liberal-traditionalist division has ended in the Church. All this is not mentioned in the catechesis on Vatican Council II by Pope Leo who still interprets …Mai
Joseph Shaw, President of Una Voce, has written a reply to Cardinal Arthur Roche’s two-pagedocument against the Mass in the Roman rite, which was distributed at Leo XIV’s consistory last week in Italian and English. Faulty Translation Shaw notes that the English version of Cardinal Roche's document is a poor translation of the Italian: “The Italian word sintonia, which means ‘harmony’, was rendered ‘syntony’ (para. 4). It is surprising that an English Cardinal should have missed this howler, and it suggests that he didn’t write the document personally.” Cardinal Roche’s Threefold Argument Shaw then summarizes Cardinal Roche’s threefold argument: - that the Catholic liturgy has always changed through an ongoing process of organic reform; - that Vatican II mandated liturgical reform; - and that liturgical unity is essential to the unity of the Church. The final claim is illustrated with quotations drawn from several popes. Legitimate Diversity of Rites Shaw observes that the appeal …Mai
They better never make me pope. They’d be really sad, old men on the streets as beggars in woolen robes. Or they’d leave the priesthood and marry their male concubines.
Just like Trump did with Venezuela. Killing innocent fishermen. Killing survivors so they can't speak and YOU will never know the truth. The US is lrying that it's about the drugs. He himself said, it's about the oil. Then said no, Then said yes. Another regime change that is NOT OUR BUSINESS! And people cheer him on for all his evil deeds and crimes and lies. But they will regret it soon enough. NO evil will get away for what they do. And no evil shall be hidden.
When he was thirty, someone once told him a strange line: “At fifty, you’ll finally meet the most important woman of your life.” He laughed it off at the time. His name was Alex. Twenty years passed, swallowed by work, responsibility, and achievement. He built a business, spent half his life on planes, provided well, checked every box that society hands to grown men. He and his wife, Irene, lived quietly. No fights, no drama — but not much closeness either. Two people sharing a roof, not a life. There was no time for feelings. Only duties. Then came the heart attack. Not a major one, but loud enough to shake him awake. Recovery forced him to slow down. One day he caught his reflection in the mirror — a tired man with graying hair staring back. It took him a moment to realize that man was him. The emptiness arrived quietly. The kids were grown and gone, the marriage held together mostly by habit, the business still running yet suddenly pointless. There was no “next mountain” to …Mai
The Holy See is expected to announce a date for the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen in the coming weeks. The Emmy-winning American prelate is known for his catechetical television programmes from the 1950s and 1960s.
This will be great. I was reminded recently that with the elevation of someone to sainthood, there should be a proliferation of graces including miracles.

What a beautiful and kind smile! Prevost is so photogenic, darling of the camera and stage. We should call him "a smiling Pope", just like his predecessor and master was "a breath of fresh air" and "sooo humble".
