‘Back on the air’ - Fulton Sheen beatification to be announced

The Holy See is expected to announce in coming weeks a date for the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the Emmy-winning American prelate known for catechetical television programs in the 1950s and 1960s.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen. public domain.
Sheen, who came within three weeks of a scheduled beatification in 2019, is expected to be formally beatified in September, according to sources close to the process.
Announcement of the beatification will come after the Diocese of Rochester saw resolved its six-year bankruptcy process, and established a settlement fund for abuse survivors of more than $250 million.

Sheen’s scheduled December 2019 beatification was delayed after Rochester Bishop Salvatore Matano asked the Vatican to postpone the process, over concerns that Sheen — who served as Rochester’s diocesan bishop from 1966 to 1969 — might be accused of mishandling cases of sexual abuse or misconduct.
At specific issue was Gerard Guli, a former Rochester priest, who was accused …

How can the Catholic Church seek unity with other Christian communities by compromising the Word of God and disregarding the divine commandments? Authentic Christian unity can never be built upon the denial of revealed truth or moral absolutes. Ideologies that contradict natural law and divine revelation—such as the normalization of homosexual acts, abortion, contraception, IVF, euthanasia, and attacks against the sacramental nature of the priesthood and the Sacrament of Confession—cannot serve as foundations for true communion.

M.RAPHAEL

Das Konsistorium der letzten Tage hatte nur einen Zweck: Der Teufel Prevost will wissen, welcher Kardinal seiner Bosheit gefährlich werden könnte, wie sicher er sein kann, die Kirche ohne Widerstand in ein perverses Bordell zu verwandeln? Dafür bezahlt er die widerliche Ökobilanz dieser völlig sinnlosen Reisen.
Selbst der so fromm erscheinende Mühlenbetreiber fährt Rad rauf und runter wie bei der Tour de Vaticano. Sie wurden ja nur geweiht, weil sie rückgratlos waren. Das Böse knebelt jeden Widerstand. An ihrer Stelle könnte ich mich nicht mehr im Spiegel schauen. Die Schwächlinge bibbern vor Angst. Dem Kazi Führer der Josephinisten müssen sie gehorchen. Der Gularsch wartet. Gott Satan ist mächtig.

Vatikan
Papst fordert Kardinäle zur Zusammenarbeit auf
Papst Leo XIV. hat die Kardinäle ermahnt zusammenzuarbeiten, der Einheit der Kirche zu dienen und nicht spezielle Projekte und Agenden zu verfolgen. Er hatte zu einem außerordentlichen Konsistorium alle 245 Kardinäle der Weltkirche eingeladen. Anwesend waren laut Vatikan-Angaben 170 von ihnen.
Das „außerordentliche Konsistorium“, zu dem er sie nach Rom eingeladen hat, sei ein „Moment der Gnade“, in dem die „Einheit im Dienst der Kirche zum Ausdruck kommt“, erklärte er Dienstagfrüh in einer Predigt vor dem Kardinalskollegium im Petersdom. Kardinäle und Papst seien versammelt, „um gemeinsam herauszufinden, was der Herr zum Wohl seines Volkes von uns verlangt“.
Sinn des Konsistoriums sei es „unsere Projekte und unsere Eingebungen einer Prüfung zu unterziehen, die (…) nur vom Herrn kommen kann“. Bei den Beratungen sollten die Kardinäle einander in die Augen schauen, einander zuhören und sich in ihrem Dialog „zur Stimme all jener …More

Pope Leo: “With great concern, I am following the developments in Venezuela. The well-being of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail over every other consideration and lead to overcoming violence and embarking on paths of justice and peace, guaranteeing the sovereignty of the Country, ensuring the rule of law enshrined in the Constitution, respecting the human and civil rights of each and every one. And working to build together a serene future of collaboration, stability, and harmony, with special attention to the poorest who suffer because of the difficult economic situation.”

Pope Leo XIV commented on the situation in the United States and Venezuela, saying that the Venezuelan people must be prioritized: "It is with deep concern that I am following the developments in Venezuela. The well-being of the Venezuelan people must prevail over all other considerations. This must lead to overcoming violence and pursuing paths of justice and peace. This will guarantee the country's sovereignty, ensure the rule of law enshrined in its constitution, respect the human and civil rights of each and every person, and encourage cooperation, stability, and harmony. Special attention must be given to the poorest who are suffering because of the difficult economic situation. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray as well, entrusting our prayers to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto and Saints José Gregorio Hernández and Carmen Rendiles."

Der Papst als Kommentator Trumps. Maduro, Nordkorea und die islamische Christenverfolgung mag er nicht kommentieren. Und mit China paktiert er. Ein Linker halt.

Anthony November

Does anything Catholic ever leave this man’s mouth, or is it all this anthropocentric humanist garbage?

Dreams are a powerful catalyst for conversion. See how people in Islamic countries are embracing Christianity, even in the face of danger, driven by these divine encounters.

Governor of Arkansas reminds the citizenry of what Christmas is all about

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of the state of Arkansas shut down government offices on Friday, December 26 in celebration of Christmas. Of course she was greatly criticized by the secularists and atheists but she did not back down.
She's the kind of governor and politician the country so badly needs. Elected people are there to serve God and nation. If what the governor did seems so odd, it's because we have fallen so far away from our true Christian calling. Well done Governor Sanders.
Here's the public
statement she released:
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS COME – GREETINGS:
WHEREAS: More than two millennia ago in the little town of Bethlehem, far from the centers of power in first-century Rome, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a humble manger;
WHEREAS: Jesus was the Messiah and became a teacher and leader, and He would be crucified, suffer for the sins of all mankind, die and be buried, and rise again on the third day to sit at the right hand of the Father;
WHEREAS: But on …

Schmierereien an Garnisonkirchturm in Potsdam

Der neue Potsdamer Garnisonkirchturm ist durch Farbschmierereien beschädigt worden. Die Polizei sei darüber am Neujahrstag informiert worden, teilte die Polizei am Freitag mit. Vor Ort sei auf der Rückseite des Bauwerks ein zwei Meter langer Schriftzug in roter Sprühfarbe festgestellt worden. Ein politisch motivierter Hintergrund könne nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Auf der Vorderseite des 2024 eröffneten Turms seien schwarze drei Meter lange Streifen und ein weiterer kleiner blauer Schriftzug festgestellt worden.
Sicherheitsmitarbeiter hätten zudem mitgeteilt, dass sie auf der außenliegenden Plattform abgebranntes Feuerwerk und Glasflaschen gefunden hätten, hieß es weiter. Es werde davon ausgegangen, dass sich bislang unbekannte Personen vermutlich über die Feuertreppe illegal Zugang verschafft und auf der Plattform Feuerwerkskörper abgefeuert haben. Die Kriminalpolizei ermittle wegen Sachbeschädigung und Hausfriedensbruch. (epd)

Thank you.

Veni Creator Spiritus is a revered Latin hymn attributed to Rabanus Maurus, a 9th-century Frankish Benedictine monk. This ancient invocation of the Holy Spirit holds particular significance today (January 1), the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and the beginning of the new year. In Catholic tradition, reciting or singing the hymn publicly on New Year’s serves as a prayer for the Holy Spirit’s guidance and blessings in the year ahead. It also grants a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions: sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, prayer for the Pope’s intentions, and complete detachment from sin.
