Netherlands Church Burned to the Ground on New Year’s Eve: The historic Vondelkerk Church in Amsterdam was severely damaged by a fire shortly after midnight on New Year’s Eve. The church was desecrated in 1977 and has not been used for Eucharistic services since then. The fire broke out in the early hours of 1 January. The cause of the fire is under investigation. It is believed that youth gangs using fireworks were responsible for the fire. The church’s roof and tower collapsed, and the authorities confirmed that the building could not be saved. Nearby residents were evacuated as a precaution, and there have been no reports of injuries or fatalities. Built in the 19th century, the church was a protected historic landmark and cultural venue.
Historic Vondelkerk Church in Amsterdam just burned to the ground on New Year’s Eve
"Youths with fireworks" "A worker smoking [Notre Dame]" all these suspicious causes of the arson of Christian churches... Could it be that the "immigrants welcomed" in Europe are doing a little 'renovation'???
refer to St Thomas Aquinas on immigration...according to the Saint, one requirement is that the immigrant not change the existing culture. Certain basic beliefs must be the same. Prior immigrants from Italy, Poland, France, etc were from countries/cultures that understood Christendom (granted, often honored in the breach)
01/01/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Today, I will not write about the tragic war in Ukraine. It is not a war of one people, not even the Ukrainian people. It is a war between two empires that has been going on for almost twelve years. The main burden is borne by the inhabitants of Ukraine. This title comes from an article published on Wednesday by Venezuelan journalist Andreína Chávez, who clearly holds communist views. My nearly 30 years of personal experience with the planned economy of the People’s Republic of Poland leads me to rebel strongly when I read praise for this method of wasting human labor. I chose this article for another reason. It describes the situation in Venezuela, a South American country. In short, I would describe this conflict as follows: a thief (the US) outraged by the owner (Venezuela) taking back his property, uses all available means, mainly military, to regain his loot. This is what the article is about: “War of the entire people”: Venezuela’s …

31.12.2025 BISHOP DONALD SANBORN AND MHT- SEDEVACANTISTS HAVE BLOCKED ME ON TWITTER : NO DOCTRINAL DIALOGUE Bishop Donald Sanborn sedevacantist, has blocked me on Twitter. I had mentioned that Sister Maria Philomena micm, the Directress of the St. Augustine Institute of Wisdom, St. Benedict Center, New Hampshire, interprets LG 8 14, 16 etc in Vatican Council II as being invisible cases and so they are not explicit exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence, 1442. He instead, implies that LG 8, 14, 16 etc are physically visible cases and so they are objective examples of salvation in the present times and so are exceptions for the dogma EENS. So we have two interpretations of Vatican Council II hers and his. She is rational and he is irrational. Sister Maria Philomena and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the St. Philomena Convent are traditionalists who are rational and non schismatic on Vatican Council II unlike the sedevacantists, …ច្រើន

Trump Praises the Pope’s “MAGA Brother”: On 30 December, President Donald Trump hosted Louis Prevost, the brother of Pope Leo XIV, at a private gathering at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump introduced Prevost and his wife, Deborah, to the guests. Trump expressed his admiration for the Pope's brother, recalling that when the new Pope was elected earlier this year, television coverage showed him outside his home surrounded by MAGA signs — a moment that Trump said made him "love this guy". A vocal Trump supporter, Louis Prevost has drawn attention for political posts that contrast with his brother’s positive views on immigration.

« Marie est le vase et le tabernacle qui renferme tous les mystères. Tout ce qui était caché aux générations précédentes lui a été révélé. Plus encore, la plupart des merveilles du plan divin du salut dépendaient d'elle. » Saint Grégoire le Thaumaturge
I posted this before but cannot be overstated: "Mary is the vessel and tabernacle containing all mysteries. All that was hidden from preceding generations was made know to her. Even more, most of the wonders of the Divine plan of salvation depended on her." Saint Gregory the Wonderworker
WE DO NOT CALL ABORTION ABORTION WE CALL IT KILLING, ASSASSINATION OF INNOCENT BABIES,. LIKEWISE WE CALL PIRACY WHAT IT IS. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS BY RUSSIA, AND CHINA THE CRIMES COMMITTED IN THE CARIBBEAN BY THE U.S. WHERE D.T. HIMSELF IN A CYNICAL WAY ADMITTED VENEZUELA WAS HIS AND SO WAS ITS OIL. SAME WITH GREENLAND WHERE HE AGAIN ADMITTED THAT HE WOULD SEND THE MILITARY TO TAKE IT, AND GOT THE ENTIRE EUROPEAN UNION AS AN ENEMY. IN THE U.S. HE ALWAYS BLAMES EVERYONE, HE ALWAYS CALLS EVERYTHING "NATIONAL SECURITY" AND SUCH, ALL THE TRUTH IS COMING OUT BUT MANY AMERICANS WHO ARE WATCHING THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL NEWS (TRADITIONAL NEWS) ARE STILL IN DARKNESS. WATCH INDEPENDENT NEWS.
THE TRUTH about THE BIBLE The uncorrupt Catholic Bible safeguards 73 books which were received from The HOLY SPIRIT in the ONE and ONLY TRUE CHURCH of GOD which is the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH which was the only Church instituted by JESUS CHRIST. As GOD has revealed that HIS CHURCH alone would teach the TRUTH necessary for HIS FAITHFUL PEOPLE who choose to follow GOD in this earthly life outside of which there is no salvation. The words of ALMIGHTY GOD in the Sacred Scriptures explain the necessity of His ONLY True Church as follows- ''But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.'' -Gospel of Saint John 21:25 [Douay Rheims uncorrupted BIBLE] The Protestant false [King James] so called “bible” and their heretical false beliefs of “bible only” / “ private interpretation” are NOT blessed by GOD because GOD'S WORDS have been corrupted …ច្រើន
