Catholic Marriages in the USA Have Declined by 60% Since 2000

Catholic marriages dropped from approximately 267,000 in 2000 to 111,718 in 2024 — a decline of almost 60%, according to data reported by EWTN News on 31 January from the Official Catholic Directory.
Compared with 1970, when there were around 426,000 Catholic weddings, today's figures show a decline of around 75%, despite the growth in the Catholic population.
This phenomenon has been evident for decades. A similar headline was published in June 2011 when a study by Our Sunday Visitor found that the number of weddings celebrated in American Catholic churches had dropped by 60%. At that time, there was 'a shift from 8.6 marriages per 1,000 US Catholics in 1972 to 2.6 marriages per 1,000 Catholics in 2010'.

First Letter to the Corinthians 1,26-31.
Consider your own calling, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong,
and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something,
so that no human being might boast before God.
It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,
so that, as it is written, "Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord."

'This monetary collapse, combined with intentionally severed supply chains and the scramble for physical resources, will lead to a ‘wild west’ environment. Militaries, no longer bound by the pretense of a rules-based order, will seize assets by force. This is the prelude to what some analysts call ‘The Great Taking’—a final, coordinated confiscation of remaining public and private wealth by the very institutions that caused the collapse. It is the last act of a system built on extraction and debt.'

David Dubyne Warns: Civilizational Cycles Converge, Food Riots and Police State Imminent

Introduction: The Bedrock of Reality Shatters
A profound and unsettling sense of discontinuity has gripped the global psyche. The official media narrative flips on a dime, leaving citizens in a state of ‘mind-numbing’ confusion where today’s undeniable fact is tomorrow’s ‘debunked conspiracy theory.’ [1] This cognitive dissonance is not random noise, but a signal. According to researcher and host of the Civilization Cycle Podcast David DuByne, we are witnessing the terminal phase of one historical epoch and the violent, chaotic birth of another. It is the collapse of the existing civilizational operating system.
DuByne warns that, as the Sun repeats its 400-year cycle of low activity, society is resetting. [2] The future will not resemble our past. This transition is marked by societal instability and contradictory information, signs that the old world’s foundational assumptions—the reliability of institutions, the security of supply chains, the permanence of the financial order—…

Another Belgian Priest Mourned by Concubine — Is Celibacy Still in Force?

The late Belgian Catholic priest Abbé Maurice Léonard, who was publicly mourned by his female “companion” and his “children of the heart,” was not an isolated case.
RiposteCatholique.fr has published on January 29 another obituary that renews questions about clerical celibacy in Belgium.
Abbé Marc Otjacques, a longtime priest in the Andenne region, died on September 4, 2025 at age 73 in a bicycle accident while returning from presiding over a Eucharist.
The official diocesan obituary praised his decades-long commitment to the poor and made no mention of a concubine.
According to a separate family-published notice, the priest was mourned by Madeleine Dorjoux, identified as his companion; Caroline and Ludovic Trufin-Struvay, described as his “daughter of the heart” and son-in-law; and Laure-Anne and Romain, his beloved grandchildren.

Chaos Around You, Peace Within
St. Paul urges us to rejoice in the Lord always, even amidst chaos and trials. True joy comes from focusing on God, our salvation, and heavenly things, rather than worldly possessions and concerns. By rejecting evil and embracing Christ, we can find peace and joy, even in the face of adversity.

- The Trad Movement: Protestantism in drag

On January 19, 2026, Timothy Flanders published an article at OnePeterFive, the website that he serves as Editor-in-Chief.
In it, Flanders provides readers with a list of what he calls, “Non-Negotiables of the Trad Movement,” which he describes as “the common denominators which unite all those who call themselves ‘traditional Catholics.’”
According to Flanders, the category known as “traditional Catholic” can be further broken down into various “clans,” each of which diverge from the others on certain philosophical and theological matters.
Flanders mentions the existence of traditional Catholic clans several times in the article, an idea presumably inspired by the valiant efforts of Michael J. Matt, Publisher of the nation’s oldest…
Regardless of his inspiration, the truth of the matter is that there’s no such thing as a “traditional Catholic,” much less any “clans” among them, no more than there is such a thing as a “Christian Catholic” as opposed to a non-Christian Catholic …

Updates: Millions of Pages of Epstein Documents Released

Here’s what to know about Friday’s release of millions of Epstein documents.

The Department of Justice on Friday released the largest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files to date, a giant tranche including three million more pages of documents and thousands of videos and images.
The documents shed new light on the disgraced financier’s relationships with several prominent figures, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. They also contain a
significant number of uncorroborated tips to law enforcement.
Congress mandated the release in November, and President Trump signed the bill despite initially opposing it, as he has sought to put an end to the accusations and speculation swirling around the case. The latest batch of documents arrived weeks after a Dec. 19 deadline imposed by Congress.

Leo XIV Reverses Francis’s Housing Restrictions for Cardinals

Pope Leo XIV has restored free Vatican housing for cardinals and senior Curia officials. This information was leaked via IlGiornale.it today, with the article framing it as a “clear break” with Francis’ policy.
The new decree, which will come into force in February, abolishes the rescript of 13 February 2023. It had eliminated free or subsidised accommodation for cardinals, heads of dicasteries, presidents and serving secretaries.
Leo XIV is trying to signal a change in direction from Francis by using secondary details such as clothing and money, while appointing the same types of bishops and personnel as Francis.

Explaining What the Creed Means Line by Line: Explaining the Faith with Fr. Chris Alar

Every Sunday at Mass we pray the Nicene Creed. But do we "pray" it or do we only "say" it? Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains the meaning of what we profess in our faith by looking at each sentence. For example, why doesn't the Creed mention Jesus descent into Hell but the Apostles' Creed does? When we profess that we believe in "one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church" do we mean the Roman Catholic Church? Actually not. This and many other insights await you in this video.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) extensively explained the Apostles' Creed
in his 1968 book, Introduction to Christianity. He analyzed it as a "symbolum" (a, sign of unity) and explored its meaning within the context of modern faith and existentialism.
Now, FYI, During the time of Rebiba, all hell broke loose at the Vatican with fires, which destroyed the ONLY documentation of the Apostolic Line of Succession. The Theologians had a big fit, and were told by the Vatican to Hush Up or we'll make your life miserable.
Yes, the Roman Catholic Church was Apostolic in it's formation, but today there is no documented proof of that - and the Vatican know this.
Moreover - in today's Church, can you truly say it is Apostolic?
Therefore, technically, the Apostles Creed today is incorrect.
We do Not have a One- Holy- Catholic - Apostolic Church....... now do we?

Sunday of the Beatitudes

Today is the Sunday of the Beatitudes. We post the reflection of the day from the Magnificat by Father Jacques Philippe. He's a Member of the Community of the Beatitudes and a great spiritual director. It's titled, "A Portrait of Christ and His Disciple."
The Beatitudes, one might say, are not only the most profound revelation of the mystery of God but also a complete treatise on spiritual life. They show what we are called to be as Christians, what it really means to live the Gospel. They describe true human and spiritual maturity. A portrait of Christ, they are also the portrait of the mature Christian in Christ, a son or daughter of the Father who is free in the Spirit. They sum up the most perfect realization of human existence. A pathway to humanization, they are also a way of fruitfulness, showing us how to bear fruit that lasts, how to spread love and inspire others to true life….
The Gospel isn’t a legal code superimposed on life (and perhaps making it more difficult or …

Andy The Gabby Cabby @gabby_cabby Are our historic rights being quietly eroded? For centuries, the English constitution was built to limit power and protect liberty. Today, many people feel power is moving the other way. Laws pile up. Regulations grow. Accountability feels distant. And yet most people were never taught where their rights actually come from. I’ve just released a video breaking this down in plain English — how our constitutional foundations worked, what changed over time, and why some believe this matters now more than ever. This isn’t about left vs right. It’s about power vs the people. Watch it, then decide for yourself: If you think people should understand this, repost it. If you disagree, tell me why. Open debate beats silent acceptance every time.

French Senate rejects assisted dying, adopts palliative care

On January 28, the French Senate rejected the assisted dying bill, which will return to the National Assembly, and adopted a law promoting palliative care.
After more than a year of debates, multiple consultations, and delays due to political uncertainties, the
French Senate rejected the proposed law on assisted dying. The bill will ultimately be sent back to the National Assembly. Senators rejected the text by 181 votes to 122. Immediately afterwards, the Senate voted 307 to 17 in favor of the bill on palliative care.
The bill on the “right to assisted dying,” as drafted by the National Assembly, would have allowed adults of "sound mind" to resort to medical assistance in dying under certain circumstances: they would have to be suffering from a serious and incurable condition that is life-threatening in the short or medium term, and experiencing physical or psychological pain that is considered very resistant to treatment.
This assistance would have taken two forms: self-…

German Synod Approves Oversight Mechanism for Bishops — Even Marx Opposed It

At the close of its sixth assembly in Stuttgart on Saturday, the German Synodal Assembly narrowly approved, by the required two-thirds majority, a resolution authorizing the creation of a national Synodal Conference planned for the autumn.
The central dispute concerned whether the new body should "monitor" the implementation of synodal resolutions in the dioceses.
Even Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich warned against creating a superior authority that would supervise bishops or interfere in diocesan governance. “I do not want that,” Marx said.
Similarly, Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz said that a control body overseeing bishops would contradict Catholic principles.
Bishop Josef Overbeck of Essen expressed confidence. The Vatican has been informed about the planned body and he expects approval in the coming weeks.
Asked about a possible rejection from Rome, Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg said he had no indication that approval was in doubt and ruled out proceeding without Vatican consent …بیشتر

Bishop Georg Bätzing, outgoing President of the German Bishops’ Conference, says that the German Synodal Assembly will not proceed without the green light from the Pope; “it would be a provocation to be avoided. However, I have no reason to doubt that timely approval will be forthcoming.”

Even the false prophets reject the wickednes of the false prophets they themselves have promoted, when synod dares to touch them...

Which category of people fall into the hands of the Antichrist that take his Mark/Character in order to buy and sell, participate in society even just going out of your home for a walk in your local park? It is those who didn't have a proper relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ; not having a devotion to Our Lady Who would guide us to Her Son; Christians who lacked in faith, fortitude, love and perseverance even in times of purification; the godless worldly who served money and possessions; the list of people in categories can go on. Even those who materially didn't prepare, learn skills to get off the system of globalists; those who put the body before the soul. Those who started well in the Catholic Faith but disobedience to God and His Commandments, True Magisterial Teachings of the Catholic and Apostolic Church, and the Gospel.
