That is how I would describe the globalist agenda of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), which aims to stir up climate panic. I too believe that our environment is in a critical state. However, placing the responsibility for restoring the climate on those who caused this situation is the worst of all possible options.

Yesterday, the White House announced its withdrawal from further international organizations that are instruments of globalists whose goal is to rule the entire world. Today’s article on tkp.at is dedicated to this topic: US leaves IPCC climate panel and dozens of UN organizations. Source.
This will further weaken the UN, which will undoubtedly also weaken globalist-liberal plans for world domination. The UN (via the WHO) was a key player in the management of the coronavirus pandemic …

Black Nazarene - January 9

9 January
Profile
The Black Nazarene is a blackened, life-sized wooden icon of Jesus Christ carrying a cross. It was constructed in Mexico in the early 17th century by an Aztec carpenter. Spanish Augustinian Recollect friar missionaries to Manila, Philippines originally brought the icon to Manila in 1606. The transport ship caught fire, burning the icon, but the locals kept the charred statue. Miracles, especially healings, have been reported in its presence. The church in which it stood burned down around it in 1791 and 1929, was destroyed by earthquakes in 1645 and 1863, and was damaged during bombing in 1945. It used to be carried through the streets every January, and Christians would rub cloths on it to make healing relics, but centuries of this treatment have left the statue in bad shape, and since 1998 a replica is paraded at the feast day celebrations.

ICE Arrests Worst of Worst Criminal Illegal Aliens Including Pedophiles, Violent Assailants, and Human Traffickers | Homeland Security

Thanks to a historic 120% increase in manpower, ICE is unleashed to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American communities
WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from across the country including those convicted of sexual assault of a child, assault, and human trafficking.

"4, 5. And you have left your first love: remember whence you have fallen. He who falls, falls from a height: therefore He said whence: because, even to the very last, works of love must be practised; and this is the principal commandment. Finally, unless this is done, He threatened to remove their candlestick out of its place, that is, to disperse the congregation."

‘Commentary on the Apocalypse’ by Saint Victorinus - From the Second Chapter – part 1 0f 1 – points 2-28

[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; Roman Greece/Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian]
“From the Second Chapter
2. I know your works, and your labour, and your patience. In the first epistle He speaks thus: I know that you suffer and work, I see that you are patient; think not that I am staying long from you.
And that you can not bear them that are evil, and who say that they are Jews and are not, and you have found them liars, and you have patience for My name's sake. All these things tend to praise, and that no small praise; and it behooves such men, and such a class, and such elected persons, by all means to be admonished, that they may not be defrauded of such privileges granted to them of God. These few things He said that He had against them.

A Full Training in Sacred Art Wall Painting Suitable for Catholics

A Full Training in Sacred Art Wall Painting Suitable for Catholics
Writing the Light’s 2-year Certificate, Starts Fall 2026, Applications Open Now.
If we want to see a genuine and widespread flourishing of sacred art in our churches, artists must learn to paint church interiors.
To participate authentically in the sacred liturgy, the environment in which we worship must foster an encounter with Christ in the Eucharist. This requires beautifully celebrated liturgies, as well as music, art, and architecture that harmonise with the actions of the celebrants and the congregation.
The frescoes at St Francis of Assisi, Baddesley Clinton, England, painted by contemporary English Catholic artist Martin Earle. See here for more infomation.
If the sacred art is to play its part in this, we need artists who can paint well and on a large scale, directly onto the walls and ceilings of our places of worship, creating sacred spaces that draw us powerfully into the encounter with Christ.

Lebanon Catholics Petition to Ban DJ Priest’s Night Club Appearance

A group of Catholics in Lebanon have launched a legal bid to prevent an upcoming performance by Portuguese priest Guilherme Peixoto. His "music" blends electronic dance beats with religious imagery. He is scheduled to perform at the AHM nightclub in Beirut on 10 January.
The petitioners have submitted a request to a Beirut summary affairs judge, seeking to halt the concert. They argue that the performance 'undermines church values' and 'misrepresents Christian rituals', citing concerns over a priest performing as a DJ in a nightclub.
However, resorting to the state in such matters is futile. Padre Peixoto is due to preside over a Eucharist in Kaslik on the same day. Supporters rightly argue that his ministry and artistic work are officially recognised by church authorities in many countries.
He also performed at World Youth Day in Lisbon in 2023, just before Pope Francis's Eucharist.

The priest missed his DJ calling. Maybe he can be laicized and do what he has a passion for.

Pope Leo XIV delivering the English summary of his first General Audience catechesis of a new cycle on Vatican II, saying: “We see that the documents have lost none of their relevance and are pertinent to the demands and challenges of today. Closely studying the Council documents will help us to be attentive interpreters of the signs of the times, and to proclaim the Gospel to all.”

The “teachings” of Vatican II? Surely he meant to say the “errors”, because that’s what they are.

The case for annexing Greenland: The country is essential to America’s, and Europe’s, security in the Arctic region

The case for annexing Greenland

What do you think: is it manifest destiny that the United States acquire or at least exercise control over Greenland? That’s pretty much how we got Texas, California, New Mexico, Hawaii, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam and American Samoa. Then there was the Louisiana purchase. In 1803, Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States, paying France $15 million or a bit less than three cents per acre for a land mass that is about 26 percent of the contiguous United States. And let’s not forget about Alaska.
A few facts about Greenland. It is big: 836,000 square miles. It is home to about 50,000 people, mostly Inuits. Historically, it has been seen as the semi-autonomous property of Denmark. It is much closer to the east coast of the United States than it is to Denmark – much, much closer if you travel from the 51st state, sometimes known as Canada. According to Donald Trump, we’ll get around to talking about the United States exercising control of Greenland in “two months,”…

Our Lady’s messages at Fatima, Kibeho give us the antidote to infidelity in the Church today

Our Lady warned in Fatima and Kibeho of catastrophe when sin is ignored. Today’s ecclesial silence on grave evils shows how prophetic these apparitions have proven to be.
Editor’s note: The following article is taken from Professor William A. Thomas’ address to the 2025 Rome Life Forum, presented in full.
Your Excellencies,
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The interventions of Our Lady in world history are extremely rare but they always have a solemn purpose. The intervention is primarily to avert a disaster on humanity of some kind or other with the appeal for humanity to turn back to prayer, to fasting, to reparation, and to do penance, in other words, an appeal to turn away from sin and a turning back towards God.
Sin is offensive to the majesty and justice of God, it is caustic, and toxic, and leaves the soul deprived of sanctifying grace, and because of its absence destroys our humanity, our personality, our character, and eventually our good name in society. And it affects …More

Federal prosecutors just blew the lid off a $7 MILLION SNAP fraud scheme in Boston. Two Haitian nationals have been charged for running so-called “ghost stores” — tiny shops with barely any inventory that were somehow cashing $540,000 a MONTH in EBT. Let that sink in. That’s SIX TIMES the SNAP volume of a real, fully stocked supermarket. The stores were allegedly used to trade EBT for cash and illegal items, draining taxpayer funds at an insane scale. This wasn’t a corner store hustle. This was industrial-level fraud. And people still wonder where the money goes.
