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.

Our Lady of Chartres - December 31st, 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 01:51 The Imitation of Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree
December 31: Image of Our Lady of Chartres brings back to life the son of King Geoffrey (100BC) The Abbot Orsini wrote: “About a hundred years before the birth of our Savior, the image of Our Lady of Chartres, which the Druids had consecrated to the Blessed Virgin, parturient, raised to life the son of Geoffry, king or prince of Montlhery, who, having fallen into a well, had been found dead; out of gratitude for this favor, he made several presents to this image, as the history of this miracle attests, which is represented in the stained glass of the great church.” To Chartres belongs the distinction of being not only the oldest shrine in France, but also – in all probability – the oldest shrine of Our Lady in the world. It is actually pre-Christian, and in a case similar to the Athenians’ ‘altar to the unknown god,’ was dedicated to the Virgin who would bring forth a son, at least a century before the birth of Christ. The Cathedral of Notre Dame at Chartres is probably the most …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
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.”
You would think she was visited by Him at that moment when He came to take her to be with Him forever! I do! I often ask her to replace her intentions for my prayers upon the paten and in the chalice if mine are anyway displeasing to God!
Tradition of Switzerland - Silvesterchläuse Twice a year, the Silvesterchläuse appear in the Appenzellerland in Switzerland to chase away evil spirits and bring good wishes for the new year. They celebrate on two dates: 31 December and 13 January, known locally as Alter Silvester. There are three traditional types of Chläuse – the Schöne, Schö-Wüeschte, and Wüeschte – each wearing unique, fully handmade costumes, masks, and heavy bells. The groups wander from house to house, offering blessings and performing rhythmic bell ringing that can be heard across the valleys. Silvesterklaus is a masked person taking part in Saint Sylvester's Day festivities in Appenzell, Switzerland, and thus contributing to maintain the Chlausen tradition. A Silvesterklaus or New Year's Mummer (Chlaus in Swiss German) is dressed up as a Saint Sylvester or New Year's Eve character. In the Reformedhalf-canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, the turn of the year is still celebrated in this way. The …ເພີ່ມເຕີ່ມ
Fantastic headdress. But also the singing too is quite evocative. We call that yodelling, do we not? The hills are alive. I prayed that Mass today, of St. Sylvester.

Early Warning (1981) | Full Movie | End Times Classic! - youtube.com/watch?v=VItItJY6Hp0Christian Movies A Christian woman wants a newspaper man to publish a story about a One World Foundation being set up whose only goal is to control the world. She wants him to warn people that this is coming and explain how it ties into the end times spoken about in the Bible. The newsman is opposed to such an idea until he sees the woman being pursued by the Foundation. As this adventure unfolds, the newspaper man begins to realize that what the woman is saying could be true. This evangelistic, classic end times film presents the truth about Jesus Christ and has interesting insight into what might be coming in the last days. Writer-Director: David R.

Last week, we shared with you the story that David Salvato, the chancellor for the diocese of Joliet, ‘married’ his boyfriend on December 13. Bishop Hicks, the bishop of Joliet, has remained silent in spite of receiving dozens of emails and phone calls asking him to address this scandal. Hicks went as far as scrubbing the diocesan website to conceal that Salvato ever worked there. Now we learn that before he went to work for Hicks, Salvato worked as a canon lawyer for Archbishop Jose Gomez for 10 years. Salvato worked in the Metropolitan Tribunal were he oversaw the investigation of nearly 200 marriage annulment cases each year. Did you get that? Gómez assigned a homosexual man to make decisions about hundreds of marriage annulments in his archdiocese. How is someone who does not subscribe to the Catholic Church’s teaching on human anthropology make decisions about a sacramental marriage involving a man and a woman? A Catholic woman shared similar concerns in a comment on the Salvato …
In Lanciano, Italy, a Nativity scene in the Church of Santa Maria del Suffragio, home of the city’s school chaplaincy, shows baby Jesus lying among rubble and wrapped in a red keffiyeh. The display, symbolizing the war in Gaza, was created by 36-year-old priest Don Alessio Primante. The initiative follows a similar gesture in September, when he wore the same keffiyeh during a religious procession, a move allowed by the local bishop.
The Priest Executed for Peace in Regensburg | Johann Maier (with Dr. Bernhard Lübbers) Walking4History In the final days of World War II, Regensburg stood on the brink of destruction. In this video, I’m joined by Dr. Bernhard Lübbers to tell the story of Domprediger Johann Maier on the day he was executed (24 April 1945): what led to his arrest, why the Nazi authorities condemned him, and what his actions meant in the chaos of April 1945. In the second half, we zoom out to the immediate aftermath and the next few days as the city collapsed into the end of the war: bridges were blown to slow the U.S. advance, Regensburg came under fire, and American troops entered the city on 27 April 1945. We also address a little-known but important piece of Regensburg’s history: the Flossenbürg concentration camp subcamp in Stadtamhof (“Colosseum”) and what the Americans found as the Nazi system fell apart.

A 1987 interview with Archbishop Lefebvre, which reveals his mind prior to the 1988 consecrations. "Today however, it is the Faith itself which is at stake. I sense that the ‘conciliar’ Church changes and places the very centre of the Catholic Faith in danger. For this reason obedience is no longer possible; for even the Pope does not have the power to change the Faith, he is but a servant of the Faith. To accept Religious Liberty, Ecumenism, the Conciliar Reforms, would appear to me to be contributing to the ‘auto-demolition’ of the Church. In conscience, that is not possible for me. The Liberalism of the Pope is destroying the Catholic Faith from within." “If it is my duty, I will consecrate bishops”

After a few deep breaths, I realized that I was normal and that none of this was about me. The freedom I had given that patient was what mattered and overtook any momentary internal conflict I entertained. Years later, I’ve also come to realize overcoming purity culture is hard. When your formative years boiled down your entire worth to whether or not you’ve had sex, it’s not a quick unraveling.
