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.
US-Justizministerin Pam Bondi hat die Anklage gegen Chirurgen fallen gelassen, der Impfausweise gefälscht hatte. "Ein guter Ta,g um an Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr. zu erinnern. Er tauschte 1.900 Dosen mRNA für Kinder gegen Kochsalzlösung. Er unterzeichnete auch gefälschte Impfpässe für Patienten. Ihm drohten fünf Jahre Gefängnis. Trump hat dafür gesorgt, dass die Anklage fallen gelassen wird: Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr. habe „seinen Patienten eine Wahlmöglichkeit gegeben, als die Regierung sich weigerte, dies zu tun”...."

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…
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 …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
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 …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
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.
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……تېخىمۇ كۆپ
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.

1 Samuel 9:1-4, 10c, 17-19; 10:1 Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord anoints you ruler over his people Israel.” A reminder that it is better to lead a people with God’s love, joy, and peace. Mark 2:13-17 “Jesus went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them.” The phrase “the whole crowd came to him” means more than just those people at that time. All crowds and leaders would benefit from allowing the Lord to reign over the people and in the hearts of the leaders. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
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 …تېخىمۇ كۆپ

Notre-Dame des Victoires, Refuge des Pécheurs - January 16th, 2026 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her.

The Notre-Dame-des-Victoires is a minor basilica located on rue Notre-Dame-des-Victoires in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. It was begun as an Abbey church, and constructed between 1629 and 1740 in the French classical style. Its name was given by King Louis XIII, who dedicated it to his victory over the Protestants at La Rochelle in 1628 during the French Wars of Religion.[1] Notre-Dame-des-Victoires is famous for the ex voto offerings left there by the faithful.[2] Over 37,000 devotional plaques, silver and gold hearts, as well as military decorations, have been left at the basilica.

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 …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
Pope Leo XIV sent a written message to the Italian anti-Church newspaper La Repubblica to mark its 50th anniversary. It was founded by the atheist Eugenio Scalfari (1924–2022) and was Pope Francis’ house paper. Historically La Repubblica was one of Italy’s largest daily newspapers, with peak print circulation in the late 1990s and 2000s, average daily sales of about 500,000 copies. Comparative data show La Repubblica being among the biggest losers in print over a decade. Mid-2025 reporting suggested an average daily sale slipping below 100,000. The message of Leo XIV was addressed to the paper’s editor, Mario Orfeo, and was published by the newspaper. Leo XIV praised what he believes is “independent journalism”. Then, he managed to mix the words “journalism” and “integrity” in one sentence: “Even amid diversity of opinions, points of view, and cultures, the press must always act with transparency and integrity.” At least, Leo XIV doubled down on press freedom, calling it essential …تېخىمۇ كۆپ

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.
