The purpose of man, according to the teachings of the Church, is to know, love, and serve God in this life, and to be happy with Him forever in the next. This understanding is rooted in the belief that man was created to fulfill a specific end, which is ultimately to glorify God. To Know God: Man is made to understand and learn about God, which is essential before one can truly love Him. Knowledge of God is acquired through the teachings of the Church and personal study. To Love God: As one comes to know God, the natural response is to love Him. The more one understands God's goodness and beauty, the more one is inclined to love Him. To Serve God: The expression of love for God is through service and obedience to His will. This includes following His commandments and living a life that reflects His teachings. Eternal Happiness: The ultimate goal of knowing, loving, and serving God is to attain eternal happiness with Him in heaven after death. In summary, man was created to fulfill these …More
An online petition in the form of an open letter has been launched in response to the proposed bistro on the terrace of St Peter's Basilica. The petition calls for a canonical investigation into the management of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti. The letter is addressed to Cardinal Pietro Parolin. It argues that introducing a commercial activity in such close proximity to a sacred site is both canonically and pastorally inappropriate. It also draws attention to repeated intrusions and offensive acts within the basilica, raising concerns about the inadequate protection of the sacred space.
BISTROT SULLA TERRAZZA DI SAN PIETRO? RICHIESTA DI VERIFICA CANONICA SULLA GESTIONE DEL CARD. GAMBETTI
Asked for an example of a condition that the SSPX could not accept in order to be in full Communion with Rome, the Superior General goes scorched earth: “The first example that comes to mind dates back to 2019, when Pope Francis, on the occasion of his visit to the Arabian Peninsula, signed, together with an imam, the well-known Abu Dhabi declaration. Together with the Muslim leader, he affirmed that the plurality of religions had been willed as such by divine Wisdom. It is evident that a communion founded upon the acceptance of such a statement, or which would include it, would simply not be Catholic, since it would constitute a sin against the First Commandment and the denial of the first article of the Creed. I consider such a statement to be more than a simple error. It is simply inconceivable. It cannot be the foundation of Catholic communion, but rather the cause of its dissolution. I believe that a Catholic should prefer martyrdom rather than accept such an affirmation.”

Let the light of Thy Face shine upon me; teach me in the way of Thy commandments. Enter into the grotto at Bethlehem, consider the newborn Child, laid in the cradle, wrapped in poor swaddling clothes. Mary and Joseph stand before him and contemplate him. You also gaze upon his sweet and radiant Face. It is the Face of the Emmanuel, of the Son of “God with us”; of the “most beautiful of the children of men”. During four thousand years the patriarchs and prophets had desired to see it; they earnestly entreated for it as the salvation promised to the world. “Lord,” they unceasingly exclaimed, “Show us Thy Face, and …More
The University of Notre Dame’s trustees and fellows will be discussing the much-maligned appointment of a pro-abortion scholar to a leadership role within the university during their annual winter meetings this week, as the public and internal backlash to the decision continues to escalate. Notre Dame is experiencing significant backlash from pro-life Catholics in and around the school because of its decision to appoint vocal abortion advocate Susan Ostermann to lead the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies at the Keough School of International Affairs. Two scholars — Professors Robert Gimello and Diane Desierto — have resigned from the Liu Institute in recent days over Ostermann’s appointment. Trustees and fellows are meeting Wednesday and Thursday in Naples, Fla., and the Ostermann controversy is expected to be part of the agenda, according to two sources familiar with the situation who spoke to National Review on the condition of anonymity. These are annual winter meetings and …
The word TALMUDIST is not to be confused with the word "Jewish". The word ZIONIST refers to those who are TALMUDISTS and this is being falsely HIDDEN presently for those who are committing the greatest satanic evils on our planet today along with their accomplices. TALMUDIST will be correctly used by ALL who love the TRUTH that ALMIGHTY GOD has presented to us in His uncorrupted BIBLE. The multitudes of humanity have been brainwashed by the TALMUDISTS to believe that they are of the Jewish/Hebrew religion today as they are not those of the Old Testament. --- The TALMUDISTS are NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN THE FOLLOWERS of the GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and JACOB. Their ancestral Homeland was called KAZARIA, which is presently located in Ukraine and parts of Russia. Their identity from their ancestors is that they are ASHKENAZI. The RUS of those times defeated them because of their murderous, plundering satanic evils, and their descendants were scattered until they became the forces of evil today …More
On 4 February, Pope Leo XIV appointed Dom Aldemiro Sena dos Santos, 61, as bishop of the Diocese of Teixeira de Freitas–Caravelas in Brazil. He is leaving the Diocese of Guarabira, where he has served since 2018. The Diocese of Teixeira de Freitas–Caravelas had been vacant since February 2025. Transferred to Slightly Smaller Diocese Pope Leo XIV has transferred the bishop to a smaller diocese roughly 800 km away, back to his home state of Bahia. While the Diocese of Guarabira, Paraíba, has 441,000 Catholics in 26 parishes, the bishop’s new diocese has 353,000 Catholics in 39 parishes. Bishop Sena dos Santos was ordained as a priest of Ilhéus, Bahia, in 1992 and appointed Bishop of Guarabira in 2017. Francis-era Vocabulary He is a typical Francis-era bishop who uses language about "the poor" and "accompaniment", but without doctrinal deviation. At the opening conference of a diocesan pastoral assembly in 2021, he said: "Synodality means walking together. It is not only a meeting of …More

Fr. James Martin: Pope Leo Plans to ‘Continue Pope Francis’ Mission’ of Inclusivity for LGBTQ Catholics
Jesuit priest Father James Martin, who hosts “The Spiritual Life” podcast and is founder of Outreach, an LGBTQ Catholic ministry, said Pope Leo XIV intends to “continue Pope Francis’ mission” of inclusivity for LGBTQ Catholics after meeting with Leo in September. During a Tuesday appearance on “The Late Show,” Martin was asked by host Stephen Colbert whether Leo plans on “expanding” the LGBTQ ministry, as Francis had previously expressed interest in doing. “Yeah, the message I got from him was that he’s continuing Pope Francis’ mission and message of welcome and inclusion, and he wanted that to be broadcast,” Martin replied, drawing applause from the audience. Following up, Colbert noted he said on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” that if there were one guest he’d like to have on before his show ends in May, it would be the pope. The late-night host asked Martin whether he thought Leo would be a good guest, to which the priest responded, “I think he would be a very good guest,…
"In 1597, 26 Catholics – six European Franciscan missionaries, three Japanese Jesuits and 17 Japanese laymen including three young boys – were executed by crucifixion in Nagasaki. On the way up the hill, a man tempted the youngest boy Louis Ibaragi, age 12, to renounce his faith. He would not yield but eagerly asked, “Where is my cross?” When they pointed out the smallest one to him, he immediately embraced it and held on to it as a child clings to his toy. The martyrs were raised on crosses and then pierced through with spears.
In the latest Epstein files release, two former US presidents are accused of raping a boy. If their former positions preclude them from an independent criminal investigation then humanity is finished in the so called developed world.
