In his English homily (excerpted below), delivered at the Eucharist in memory of Pope Benedict XVI on the eve of the third anniversary of his death, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller praised the former pope for his theological legacy [and despite the fact that Ratzinger’s pontificate paved the way for Bergoglio's]. “As prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he set standards of the highest diligence, intellectual precision, and incorruptibility for the Roman Magisterium.” And: “During his pontificate, he was one of the greatest theologians on the Cathedra Petri.” And again: “He has left us an immense theological legacy of exceptional quality and was rightly recognized as one of the great Catholic intellectuals of our time.” For the Writer, Not the Reader When Cardinal Müller presented Pope Benedict XVI with the first volume of the Opera Omnia, he explained that the project would eventually comprise 16 volumes amounting to an estimated 25,000–30,000 pages.

Mary Mother of God - January 1st, 2025 | 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. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 00:00The Imitation of Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree
CV NEWS FEED // The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, on Jan. 1 marks a day of celebration for the Universal Church in honor of Jesus’ Blessed Mother, on the last day of the octave of Christmas. Christians celebrated this feast as early as the seventh century, although it was not formally added to the liturgical calendar until 1931 by Pope Pius XI. The Solemnity is a holy day of obligation, which means Catholics must attend Mass and observe the day as one of rest, avoiding unnecessary work. This Solemnity recognizing Mary’s divine maternity affirms a dogma central to the Christian understanding of the Incarnation: that Jesus is one Person, Who has both a divine nature and a human nature. This union of the two natures through Jesus’ Incarnation is called the hypostatic union. In the fourth century, a heretic named Nestorius had taught contrary to this. He claimed that the Blessed Virgin Mary was not God-bearer or the Mother of God — in Greek this title is Theotokos — but …Ibindi
[Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort – XVII-XVIII Century AD; Montfort-sur-Meu, France/Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, France; Total consecration to Jesus through Mary] “II. To find the grace of God, we must discover Mary 6. It all comes to this, then. We must discover a simple means to obtain from God the grace needed to become holy. It is precisely this I wish to teach you. My contention is that you must first discover Mary if you would obtain this grace from God. 7. Let me explain: (1) Mary alone found grace with God for herself and for every individual person. No patriarch or prophet or any other holy person of the Old Law could manage to find this grace. 8. (2) It was Mary who gave existence and life to the author of all grace, and because of this she is called the “Mother of Grace”. 9. (3) God the Father, from whom, as from its essential source, every perfect gift and every grace come down to us, gave her every grace when he gave her his Son. Thus, as St Bernard says, the will of …Ibindi
19. There is not and there will never be, either in God's creation or in his mind, a creature in whom he is so honoured as in the most Blessed Virgin Mary, not excepting even the saints, the cherubim or the highest seraphim in heaven. Mary is God's garden of Paradise, his own unspeakable world, into which his Son entered to do wonderful things, to tend it and to take his delight in it. He created a world for the wayfarer, that is, the one we are living in. He created a second world - Paradise - for the Blessed. He created a third for himself, which he named Mary. She is a world unknown to most mortals here on earth. Even the angels and saints in heaven find her incomprehensible, and are lost in admiration of a God who is so exalted and so far above them, so distant from them, and so enclosed in Mary, his chosen world, that they exclaim: “Holy, holy, holy” unceasingly.
IT’S TIME TO COMPLETELY ANNIHILATE THE ENTIRE JESUIT ORDER!!!! The entire Jesuit Order should be immediately suppressed, disbanded and permanently abolished; with its leadership terminated, its Priests excommunicated and laicized, its lay institutions and agencies dissolved, its assets and resources seized, its properties confiscated, its universities and schools shutdown until they can be given over to other Traditional Orders, its churches, chapels and shrines placed under the rule of an Apostolic Administrator, its criminals and sex-abusers imprisoned, and its foul, abominable, diabolical impact and influence throughout the whole Church and around the globe repudiated and obliterated and anathematized, never to rise again.

A village of 150 people in Corsica has raised €1.1 million to help restore the Caccia convent in Castifao, Haute-Corse. The 16 century site has been closed to the public since 2021 due to serious disrepair. The state's contribution was relatively small. The restoration will be funded by the Collectivité de Corse (80%), the French state (10%), and donations from residents, nearby communities, and private donors. Mayor François Orsini led the project with support from the Fondation du Patrimoine and the Castifau et Moltifau association. Restoration work is expected to begin in early 2026, with the aim of reopening the site to the public.

Gerhard Ludwig Cardinal Müller in homily in English at Mass in memory of Pope Benedict XVI, on the eve of the Third Anniversary of his death, says of the late Pope: “Both as a professor of theology and a mass sought-after preacher, he consistently put himself in the service of the word. As prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he set standards of the highest diligence, intellectual precision and incorruptibility for the Roman magisterium. During his pontificate, he was one of the greatest theologians on the Kathedra Petri.”

A previously rare, violent immune disorder is skyrocketing in clinical settings just as new COVID vaccines are administered—and public health authorities appear determined to look the other way. The condition, known as TAFRO syndrome, unleashes a catastrophic inflammatory response that can shut down the body in a matter of days. Patients experience plummeting platelet counts, massive full-body swelling, relentless high fevers, kidney failure, bone marrow scarring, and rapid enlargement of vital organs. Many end up critically ill, hospitalized, and fighting for survival. Doctors warn TAFRO syndrome is not a mild reaction. This is immune system collapse.

“There's a pattern that keeps repeating itself down the ages. Father Hewko knows a good deal about the Cristeros, who were the heroes of the Catholic resistance to the Masons in the 20th century. A tremendous story. And they were betrayed by the church. Counter-reformation. Then the devil comes back and attacks again. So this time, it's liberalism that swings off to the left. Liberalism. Vatican II sweeps almost the whole thing off to in line with modernism. It's the retread of modernism, which is the retread of liberalism and Protestantism. It's all basically the same thing. The church, Archbishop Lefebvre continues the straight line of Catholicism. Archbishop Lefebvre. He sticks to the true faith and continues the straight line of Catholicism. Straight. He holds straight and he also begins to rebuild. His society begins to expand throughout the world. A few years ago, well a year ago, the last few years, the society has been all over the world.
