Program for Leo XIV’s Consistory – "Working Groups" Like the Synod

On 7–8 January, Pope Leo XIV will preside over the first extraordinary consistory of his pontificate. Time is short and the cardinals are many.
Day One: Opening and First Session
Registration will begin at noon on 7 January in the atrium of the Paul VI Hall.
After a welcome coffee, proceedings will not begin until 3:30 p.m. in the New Synod Hall with communal prayer, followed by greetings from the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re.
Leo XIV will then deliver an introductory address and outline the work to be undertaken.
Three Sessions Over Two Days
The consistory is structured in three sessions over two days and will rely on small working groups, which will later present group reports.
This method was previously used during the meeting of cardinals on the reform of the Roman Curia in late summer 2022. Traditionally, a consistory was conducted in a plenary, centralized format, quite different from the small-group method now being used.

“Interfaith Chapel” at a Catholic University

Thomas More University is the Catholic liberal arts university of the Diocese of Covington, Kentucky. As such, it operates under diocesan authority, including oversight of its Catholic identity, liturgical life, and the designation and use of worship spaces.
This arrangement remains under the oversight of the current diocesan bishop, Bishop John C. Iffert, who has publicly defended a Mass associated with an LGBTQ support group, and in January 2024, removed ministerial faculties from priests critical of the post–Vatican II Roman Rite.
A concerned reader recently alerted the Lepanto Institute to the existence of a so-called “interfaith chapel” in operation on the campus of this Catholic university. Photos of the chapel supplied by the reader show Muslim prayer rugs, prayer beads, Jewish head coverings, and other religious materials linked to the religious practices of non-Christians. In light of this, the Lepanto Institute contacted the University for an explanation.

Five Remedies for Sorrow from St. Thomas Aquinas

Five Remedies for Sorrow from St. Thomas Aquinas - Community in Mission

One doesn’t usually go to the St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica for advice on emotional matters. But for the feast of St. Thomas we shall indeed go there to seek advice on sorrow and consider some of St. Thomas’ remedies for it. (His advice is contained primarily in the Prima Secundae questions 35 – 37.)
St. Thomas follows some of the Eastern fathers in naming four kinds of sorrow (cf I IIae 35:8): anxiety, torpor, pity, and envy. Let’s look at each before examining some of the remedies he suggests:
1. Anxiety – This is a kind of sorrow that emerges when the mind is so weighed down by something that escape seem impossible. St. Thomas’ definition is likely rooted in the Latin word angustia, which is a narrow pass or straight. And thus anxiety tends to arise when we experience stress over a situation and find no room to maneuver, no way out. Anxiety tends to pertain to the future, in contrast with pain, which generally pertains to the present. With pain, one can suffer about a …

St. John the Baptist Contra Effeminacy
A Voice Crying in the Wilderness: On the Helper Turned Snare
Repent.
For the order of creation has been inverted, and the curse still spreads.
Hear again the sentence God pronounced—not softened, not explained away:
“Because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you,
cursed is the ground because of you.”
Because you listened.
Adam was not condemned for appetite first,
but for misplaced obedience.
She was created as helper—adiutorium, not governor;
crown, not commander;
aid for the good, not guide against God.
St. Augustine speaks plainly:
> “The woman was given to the man as a helper, but by sin she became an occasion of his fall—not by nature, but by disorder.”
(On Genesis, Against the Manichees)
This is the tragedy: the helper became a liability, not by her existence, but because Adam surrendered his post. He allowed the order of creation to turn against itself.
St. John Chrysostom declares: …थप

Dozens of Charlotte Priests Appeal to Vatican Over Liturgical Restrictions

31 priests of the Diocese of Charlotte have formally challenged recent liturgical directives issued by Bishop Michael Martin, submitting Dubia to of all places the Vatican.
The Substack.com account The Pillar reports that the priests’ letter to the Dicastery for Legislative Texts was sent on January 5. It questions whether the bishop has the authority to mandate the removal and prohibition of kneelers for Communion.
This a policy was announced in a “pastoral” letter by Bishop Martin on December 17. Temporary kneeling fixtures are required to be removed by Jan. 16.
Thirty-one priests are about a quarter of the diocesan presbyterate. They argue that kneeling for Communion is explicitly permitted by the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and part of the traditional liturgical practice of the Church.
Furthermore, the Dubia question Bishop Martin’s authority to prohibit certain vestments, liturgical prayers, gestures, and elements associated with the Mass of the Roman rite but …थप

The Epiphany of the Lord. (Mt 2.)

This morning Pope Leo XIV closed the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, officially bringing to a close this Jubilee Holy Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

03:14

On 6 January, Pope Leo XIV officially brought the 2025 Jubilee Year to a close by closing the Holy Door of St Peter's Basilica during a solemn Eucharist on the Feast of the Epiphany. This ritual, which involves the Pope kneeling in prayer and manually closing the great bronze doors, marks the traditional end of a Jubilee. This was the last remaining open Holy Door, bringing to a close a Holy Year that, according to Vatican figures, brought 33 million pilgrims to Rome. Following the public liturgy, the door will be sealed in a private ceremony.

Questa mattina, Papa Leone XIV ha chiuso la Porta Santa della Basilica di San Pietro.
Si trattava dell'ultima Porta Santa rimasta aperta.
Questo segna la fine dell'Anno Giubilare 2025 che, secondo le statistiche del Vaticano, ha attirato a Roma 33 milioni di persone.

Berlin spends billions on migrant accommodation, but asked its own residents surviving in freezing, dark apartments to cough up for hotel stays

Berlin’s handling of the prolonged power outage in the southwest of the city has sparked an angry public debate over priorities, after residents were initially asked to pay €70 per night for hotel accommodation while nearby migrant centers were evacuated and rehoused at public expense.
The blackout, now in its third day, has left around 26,900 households and 1,220 businesses without electricity, heating, or hot water following an arson attack on a cable bridge for which the far-left Volcano Group claimed responsibility.
Entire neighborhoods in Steglitz-Zehlendorf and Zehlendorf remain affected.
As reported by Welt, under the Senate’s initial response, residents unable to use their homes were offered hotel rooms at a reduced rate under a campaign branded “Berlin Hotels for Berliners,” launched with VisitBerlin and around 200 partner hotels. The state waived the city tax, but affected residents were expected to cover the remaining cost themselves.
The offer triggered an immediate …

Mary is the Pre-eminent Teacher and Model on Prayer and Relationship with God
Within the communion of saints, Mary holds a unique place not only as the Mother of God but as the supreme model of the interior life. Her existence is marked by receptivity, fidelity, and contemplative attentiveness to the word of God. To speak of spiritual development is to speak of Mary, because she embodies the perfection of prayerful relationship with God.
The Gospel reveals her as the first believer of the New Covenant. Her fiat is not a single act but the expression of a lifelong disposition: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”¹ This is the fundamental posture of authentic prayer. Prayer begins in listening. It matures in consent. It bears fruit in obedience. Mary demonstrates all three with simplicity and depth.
Saint Luke notes twice that Mary “kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.”² These brief lines provide one of Scripture’s …

The Cave of Saint Michael in Monte Sant'Angelo...

The footprint of Saint Michael the Archangel in the Cave of Monte Sant'Angelo (also known as the Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo) is a revered rock impression preserved within the sacred grotto in Puglia, Italy. Legend holds that the Archangel left this mark during his apparitions around 490-493 AD, consecrating the site himself without human intervention, making it a unique pilgrimage destination. The print is visible behind a glass encasement near the rear altar, symbolizing his presence and promise of protection and forgiveness.[5]
## Location Details
The cave lies deep within Monte Sant'Angelo, accessible via 86 stone steps descending from the basilica above. Pilgrims like St. Francis of Assisi visited, carving a Tau cross nearby out of reverence without entering fully. The site forms part of the "Sword of Saint Michael," a mystical line connecting seven Michael shrines across Europe to Israel.[3][4][5]
