In Kurmin Wali, Kaduna State, Nigeria, gunmen attacked three churches during Sunday services on January 18, and kidnapped about 177 Christians. Although residents reported the abductions immediately, Nigerian authorities first denied they occurred. After public pressure, police confirmed the kidnappings and said security forces were deployed to find the victims.
Nigerian police have CONFIRMED that 177 Christians were KIDNAPPED from their churches last weekend .The confirmation comes after the police originally DENIED that the kidnappings had occurred. They have since denied the denial, calling it a 'measured response'

Micromanaging the liturgy with malice... that's how I would describe him. In fact, I'm sure he's one of those liberal priests who find anything from the Church's tradition a microaggression! I vividly recall getting YELLED AT by a priest when serving because I had put the Host on a paten, instead of a glass dish. He accused me of "rejecting Vatican II" by this small action that I've done many times while preparing the altar as an acolyte.
Requiescat in pace Vaticanist John L. Allen, 61, has passed away after a battle with cancer. He had gifted writing skills and was considered closely attuned to the Francis-era Vatican. In 2014, he founded CruxNow.com. Before that, he had spent many years working for the anti-Catholic NcrOnline and CNN. He was married, later annulled, and remarried, and is survived by his wife Elise Ann Allen. Friends and colleagues mourn his passing.
The conference featured Cardinal Kurt Koch, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Chrisitan Unity, and Archbishop Job Getcha, Metropolitan of Pisidia, co-chairs of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. Speaking to Vatican News after the event, Metropolitan Job was even clearer: in 1054, “there might have been a rupture of communion" between the two Churches, but “there was no schism”. In his speech, Cardinal Koch explained that what the Latin legates in Constantinople delivered was not an anathema directed against the Greek Church in general, but rather a bull of excommunication targeting three specific individuals,...
I think what Koch was trying to say is that Since the RCC makes Saints out of people in the Cult of Maria Liozona, and others freely worship pachamama, It is The RCC now in Automatic SCHISM, not the Orthodox Church.
The share of adults identifying as Catholic has declined sharply across much of Latin America over the past decade. The number of people with no religious affiliation has risen, according to a January 21 Pew Research Center report. This marks a shift in a region where more than 90% of people were Catholic around 1900. The report, Catholicism Has Declined in Latin America Over the Past Decade is based on surveys of more than 6,200 adults in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru conducted in spring 2024. Comparing the results with a similar 2013–14 survey, Pew found that the Catholic share fell by at least 9 percentage points in all six countries. Today, Catholics make up 46% of adults in Brazil and Chile, 58% in Argentina, 60% in Colombia, and 67% in both Mexico and Peru. A decade ago, all six countries had Catholic majorities of roughly six-in-ten or more adults.

Mexican Bishops Express Solidarity with Spain … The accident occurred on Sunday, January 18, around 7:45 PM local time, near the town of Adamuz, in the province of Córdoba, in the region of Andalucía, in southern Spain. According to preliminary reports, a high-speed train operated by the private company Iryo, traveling from Málaga to Madrid with approximately 289 passengers on board, suffered a derailment in the rear part of its cars. These crossed to the opposite track, colliding head-on with another high-speed train from the public network Renfe, which was heading from Madrid to Huelva with about 200 passengers.

Message du pape Léon XIV pour la 34e Journée … Chers frères et sœurs, La 34e Journée Mondiale du Malade sera célébrée solennellement à Chiclayo, au Pérou, le 11 février 2026. C’est pourquoi j’ai voulu reproposer l’image du bon Samaritain, toujours actuelle et nécessaire pour redécouvrir la beauté de la charité et la dimension sociale de la compassion, afin d’attirer l’attention sur les nécessiteux et les personnes qui souffrent, comme sont les malades. Nous avons tous entendu et lu ce texte émouvant de saint Luc (cf. Lc 10, 25-37). Un docteur de la Loi demande à Jésus qui est le prochain à aimer. Celui-ci répond en racontant une histoire : un homme qui voyageait de Jérusalem à Jéricho fut attaqué par des voleurs et laissé pour mort. Un prêtre et un lévite passèrent leur chemin, mais un Samaritain eut pitié de lui, banda ses blessures, l’emmena dans une auberge et paya pour qu’on s’occupe de lui. J’ai souhaité proposer une réflexion sur ce passage biblique, avec …Bebree
ABOUT PRAYERS & ADORATION St. John 4: 23-24: “But the hour will come-in fact it is here already when true worshipers, will worship the Father in spirit and truth: that is the kind of worshiper the Father wants. God is Spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth." 2) St Mathew 6,6: “But when you pray, go to your private room and, when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you”. 3) Isaiah 26, 20: “Go into your rooms, my people, shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed” 4) Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to me and I will answer you; I will tell you great mysteries of which you know nothing”. 5) Romans 8, 26: “The Spirit too comes to help us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, the Spirit himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words”. 6) Galatians 5, 22-23: “The fruit of the Spirit is …Bebree
Novena - Oremus Like those in Gaza who kept saying Mass. And when they were praying while bombs were going off near their Church. That's how Priests should act. Not throwing Our Lord down the way this Priest just did to comfort anyone at all. The Mass must continue no matter what. Someone should have stopped the old man before he even got half way to the Priest.
Leo XIV today appointed Monsignor Carlo Roberto Maria Redaelli, 69, until now Archbishop of Gorizia, Italy, as Secretary of the Dicastery for the Clergy. Carlo Roberto Maria Redaelli (born 1956 in Milan) is a canon lawyer who served for many years in the Archdiocese of Milan before becoming Archbishop of Gorizia in 2012. He holds a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical Gregorian University, where he specialized in the nature of Church law in the post–Vatican II period. Promoting Homosexuality In June 2017, in Staranzano, a small town in the Diocese of Gorizia, a leader of the Catholic Scout movement (AGESCI) entered into a homosexual civil union. The parish priest, Don Francesco Fragiacomo, stated that, as a consequence of this choice, he could no longer retain his role as a Catholic educator. Archbishop Redaelli intervened publicly and stabbed the priest in the back. The anti-Catholic slogans of Monsignor Redaelli were: One must seek the “grace present in every situation” and …Bebree
