France's demographic winter

In France, last year the number of deaths was greater than the number of births. It's a nation that is now experiencing a demographic winter and, if the pattern continues, will eventually die.
The information was recently released by the
French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). The total number of deaths in 2025 was 651,000. while the number of births was 645,000. Anyone, can figure out what that negative number means in the long run.
Here's the published data translated to English from French:
As of 1 January 2026, the population of France is estimated at 69.1 million inhabitants, i.e. 0.25% more than a year earlier. 22% of the population is at least 65 years old, almost the same proportion as those under 20.
In 2025, 645,000 babies were born in France. That is 2.1% fewer than in 2024 and 24% fewer than in 2010, the year of the last peak in births. The total fertility rate continues to decline: after 1.61 in 2024, it stands at 1.56 children per woman in …

EXCLUSIVE: Archbishop Viganò's message to young American Catholics - LifeSite

Sat Jan 17, 2026 - 1:29 pm EST
Editor’s note: This is the transcript of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s keynote address (delivered via video) at the REGINA Magazine Conference in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday, January 17. Published with permission.
(
LifeSiteNews) — Dear Friends,
It is a joy for me to address all of you who have gathered in Tampa with personalities from the traditional Catholic world. Many of you are aware of the very serious institutional crisis we are experiencing, both in the civil and ecclesiastical spheres. The attack against citizens and the faithful originates from the highest authorities of the State and the Church, in a reversal of their proper purposes. Others among you are bewildered by these developments, unable to believe that those in authority could consciously act to destroy the institutions they preside over. There are some, especially among the so-called “moderates,” who still think that the actions of politicians and bishops are the result of inexperience …

Normally, I endorse everything Archbishop Vigano says but I'm having a problem with this message, specifically this: "receiving the Sacraments frequently, assisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." The Archbishop should realize that, although good advice, it isn't very easy to accomplish any more. Great numbers of Churches that were offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass have now discontinued it. I live in a fairly large city and there is only ONE "shrine" where one can attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the whole city. And it is in a high crime area. I don't feel safe going there. Many people must drive for many miles to find a Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and for many, this is prohibitive. Of course, this includes receiving the other Sacraments. True Catholics are like sheep without a shepherd and many feel alone and abandoned. The Archbishop needs to recognize this and not offer impractical advice.

Pedaling Away From “Illicit Religion”: China Turns Bicycle Races Into Propaganda Arenas

In Yiwu, Zhejiang, participants in a sports event are indoctrinated against the “xie jiao” while cycling up the hills.
by Qi Junzao
The Yivu race: anti-xie-jiao propaganda is not far away.

On December 14, the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang
province hosted what might have been a perfectly ordinary sporting event: a cycling hill‑climb invitational. One thousand riders gathered at the scenic Shili Taohua Wu area to test their stamina on the winding Yan’kou Lake track. But in China, no public gathering is too innocent to escape the heavy hand of propaganda.
Suddenly, the event was transformed into a “sports + anti-xie‑jiao extravaganza.”
For readers unfamiliar with the term, “xie jiao” is often translated as “cults” or “evil cults,” but this is not accurate. It designates in China since the Middle Ages “organizations spreading heterodox teachings,” and the powers that be decide which teachings are “heterodox.” Today, it is a deliberately broad and elastic label wielded by the Chinese …

Canada: we cannot have "Truth and Reconcialiation" without truth

homilyat the Mass celebrated at Martyr's Shrine, in Midland, Ontario, that has much to tell about truth and reconciliation in Canada with the Indigenous Peoples. We cannot forget the sacrifices made by the missionaries to evangelize. We must no interpret the past from a woke view. We cannot have truth and reconciliation without truth. The pope's words speak for themselves.
Saint Paul also tells us how firmly he believed in the love of Christ and in its power to overcome all obstacles: "Nothing can come between us and the love of Christ." These are words which proceed from the very depths of his being and out of his personal experience as an Apostle. For this great missionary faced many trials and difficulties in his zealous efforts to proclaim the Gospel. To the Corinthians, he writes: "I have been in danger from rivers and in danger from brigands, in danger from my own people and in danger from pagans; in danger in the towns, in danger in the open country, danger at sea and danger from …

FCA upholds 2024 ruling that Liberal government unreasonably invoked Emergencies Act to clear convoy

The appellate court dismissed every appeal before it on Friday
Blair Ector, Sujit Choudhry, Ewa Krajewska
The Federal Court of Appeal has upheld a two-year-old ruling that found the Liberal government unreasonably invoked the Emergencies Act to clear the 2022 Freedom Convoy.
Multiple parties had appealed the
2024 ruling by Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley, which addressed four lawsuits challenging the slew of emergency measures the government rolled out in early 2022.
The government told the appellate court that Mosley, who also ruled that some of its measures to control the protests violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, had reached the wrong conclusion. However, two public interest groups – the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Constitution Foundation – argued that Mosley’s ruling on the Charter violations should have been even broader.
A third set of plaintiffs, which includes Canadian Frontline Nurses, an advocacy group that made headlines …

Canada's Catholic hospitals must not be legally forced to provide euthanasia

Presently, the British Columbia Supreme Court is hearing a case as to whether a Catholic hospital can be forced to provide medical assistance in dying, MAiD. In 1995, an agreement was made between the provincial governemnt and religious based hospitals and other places of care that they could follow their faith when it comes to patient care and self-governance.
However, the present court case if lost will put an end to the agreement. The plaintiff is a mother whose 34-year-old daughter suffered from cancer. She said the hospital's refusal to carry out euthanasia was similar to watching a child being beaten up on a playground and nobody would come to help. The daughter was in the hospital for a year and had to be transferred to a hospice where she was euthanized by a doctor the same day.
The case is Gaye O’Neill et al. v. His Majesty the King in Right of the Province of British Columbia, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, and Providence Health Care Society. The place where the daughter …

114 Christian Colleges Caught Supporting Abortion, Planned Parenthood - LifeNews.com

A new report from Students for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement has found that 114 Christian colleges and universities in the United States — more than one in seven — are supporting abortion in some way.
The report found these Christian universities either backing abortion or maintaining some type of relationship with Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion company.
The investigation, conducted for the fourth consecutive year during the 2024-2025 academic year, examined 725 institutions affiliated with Christ-centered denominations that publicly claim a historical Christian faith in their founding. Schools from denominations embracing a pro-abortion stance, such as the Disciples of Christ, United Church of Christ, Quaker, and Moravian, were excluded.
Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins emphasized the incompatibility of such ties with Christian principles.
“You can’t be Christian and be pro-abortion,” Hawkins told Fox …

The "Anywheres" people are the undoing of the West

Canada's former conservative PM Stepehn Harper in his 2018 book Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption introduces a concept that can help us understand why Western nations have politically and culturally changed so much in recent decades and not for the better.
Harper talks about the concept of the "Anywheres and Somewheres" people. This has become the huge cultural divide. On one hand, is the small and very privileged group the "Anywheres" who are the globalists, the travelling elites and the very rich. These people have more than one residence around the world. On the other hand, are the "Somewheres," people who are connected to their local communities. They have one fixed address. They are the average citizenry who carry on with traditions, family and patriotism. They feel abandoned by globalization.
The Anywheres are people like Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland, Emmanuel Macron, Volodymyr Zelensky, Laurence Fink, Al Gore, Klaus Martin …

Century Initiative for 100 million in Canada by 2100 is miguided

The Canadian group Century Initiative is pushing the idea that it would be good for the nation to have a population of 100 million by the year 2100. The believe that by greatly increasing immigration numbers over the decades Canada's economy, workforce and global influence will improve.
The group claims there are some people in governemnt and business leaders who support the idea. However, let's make it clear: it's not a government policy. During PM Justin Trudeau's ten years in power, from 2015 to 2025, Canada's population increased by close to 5 million.
Currently Canada's population is about 41.5 million, so the Century Initiative wants to nearly triple the number. This will require much higher immigration levels. Here's what Century Iniative won't tell Canadians. The nation's fertility rate is 1.24 children per woman. This is an "ultra-low fertility" similar to Japan and South Korea. What this means is that Canada's population, minus immigration, is steadily declining. The country …

“Give me your sins…”

We end the Christmas Season with a post from Our Lady of Solitude Monastery titled, “Give me your sins…” It's a story about St. Jerome. A story and truth we can all relate to as fallen people of God. We hope you like it. St. Jerome, pray for us!
Here's the story of St. Jerome:
After many years spent in Jerusalem translating the Word of God, Jerome finished his grand project just days before Christmas. To celebrate his accomplishment, Jerome decided to spend Christmas Eve in nearby Bethlehem, in one of the many grottoes that dot the countryside. According to the ancient account, sometime around midnight Jesus appeared to him, saying 'Jerome, what will you give me for my birthday?
Immediately and enthusiastically, Jerome declared, 'Lord, I give you my translation of your word.' But instead of congratulating him, Jesus simply replied, 'No, Jerome, that is not what I want.'
Jerome was speechless. Then he began to complain and remonstrate with Jesus, asking why he had let him go on for …

What the MSM and the American government won't tell you about the takeover of Venezuela

What the MSM and the Unites States governemnt won't tell you about the forced takeover of Venezuela is that the United States is financially bankrupt. With an accumulated national debt of 38.5 trillion dollars, there is no possibly way the citizenry can ever repay it. The huge interest must also be paid each year and it too grows and grows.
There is no way America's GDP, Gross domestic Product,can ever cover the cost along with the amount needed to run the nation. Even with the projected GDP for 2025 of 31 trillion, and let's leave morality aside, America is financially bankrupt. This can be said of the entire West. But the political leaders are in denial or just lie those they are supposed to represent.
The United States took in 2025 about 5 trillion dollars but it takes some 7 trillion to run the country. Keep in mind that close 2 trillion goes just to pay the interest on the total debt. And this is the main untold reason why they took over Venezuela. With an estimated 17.3 trillion …

The Baptism of the Lord

This Sunday we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. It's a good time to renew our baptismal promises and assess how our Christian life is going. Make it the New Year's resolution of a lifetime. Are we truly living a life close to Christ as sons and daughters of the Father?
Here's the reflection of the day from the Magnificat. It's written by Blessed Columba Marmion who died in 1923. He was the abbot of of the Benedictine abbey of Maredsous, Belgium. It's titled, "One with Jesus in Baptism."
The mystery of the baptism of Jesus, which marks the beginning of his public life, contains, as it were, the summary of his whole mission here below. By the humiliation which he willed to undergo in receiving this rite of penance “for the remission of sins”—presage of his baptism of blood upon the Cross—“Christ fulfills all justice.”…

The Trojan Horse in Canada's Constitution

Yes, a few Canadians are slowly discovering that there is a Trojan Horse in Canada's Constitution. Some Canadians are beginning to see the serious consequences of giving special rights to some citizens and not to others. Too many, in this woke climate, are afraid to speak out.
The national threat is found in Section 35.1 of the
Constitution Act of 1982 which states:
The government of Canada and the provincial governments are committed to the principle that, before any amendment is made to Class 24 of section 91 of the Constitution Act, 1867, to section 25 of this Act or to this Part,
(a) a constitutional conference that includes in its agenda an item relating to the proposed amendment, composed of the Prime Minister of Canada and the first ministers of the provinces, will be convened by the Prime Minister of Canada; and
(b) the Prime Minister of Canada will invite representatives of the aboriginal peoples of Canada to participate in the discussions on that item.
