Today, 170 Cardinals gathered for the first consistory. Pope Leo XIV was flanked in the Synod Hall by his Curia Cardinals, most of whom are pro-homosexual: Tucho (Faith), Mendonça (Education), Grech (Synod), Roche (Liturgy), Baggio (Human Development), and Artime (Religious). After entering the Synod Hall, English pro-homosexual Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, 80, delivered a meditation to the Cardinals. The decision to keep him in the same role he held during the Synod on Synodality carries symbolic weight. His speech today was fairly mild. However, just the day before, Cardinal Radcliffe called for the urgent ordination of women as deacons. The cardinals were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of cardinals under the age of 80. This group was further divided into nine round tables. The second group, consisting of elderly cardinals and the Roman Curia, was divided into eleven round tables. In the groups, the Cardinals discussed Synodality and Evangelisation.

Photo ~A young boy holds a placard reading 'we are all guardians of the Civil Code' during a demonstration in France to denounce same-sex marriage 21 December 2012 The Pope has pressed his opposition to gay marriage today saying the future of mankind is at stake. Pope Benedict XVI denounced what he described as people manipulating their God-given identities to suit their sexual choices - and destroying the very 'essence of the human creature' in the process. He made the comments in his annual Christmas address to the Vatican bureaucracy, one of his most important speeches of the year. As Pope and as head of the Vatican's orthodoxy watchdog before that, Pope Benedict has been a strong enforcer of that teaching: One of the first major documents released during his pontificate said men with 'deep-seated' homosexual tendencies shouldn't be ordained priests. For the Vatican, though, the gay marriage issue goes beyond questions of homosexuality, threatening what the church considers to be …Mususu
Photo Leviticus 20:13 If a man has sexual relations with another man, they have done a disgusting thing, and both shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death. Leviticus 18:22 ---> No man is to have sexual relations with another man; God hates that. Deuteronomy 22:5 --> Women are not to wear men's clothing, and men are not to wear women's clothing; the Lord your God hates people who do such things. Now you've got GOD'S teachings on the subject. Is there any doubt that GOD does not approve of that live style? GOD'S WORD is TRUTH and the TRUTH NEVER CHANGES. However, some foolish religions think the New Testament replaces the Old Testament. They just don't remember what Christ said on that subject: Matthew 5:17-20 --> 17 "Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have NOT come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. 18 Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, NOT the least point nor …Mususu

[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] “Interrogation 8 First question. Again the monk appeared on his rung as before, saying: ”O Judge, I ask you: Why do you permit gods to be placed in temples and receive honor as yourself, even though your kingdom is nobler beyond all else?” Second question. ”Why do you not let people see your glory in this life, so that they may desire it more fervently?” Third question. ”Since your saints and angels are nobler and holier above all other creatures, why are they not seen by people in this life?” Fourth question. ”Since the punishments of hell are horrible beyond compare, why do you not let people see them in this life so that they may flee from them?” Fifth question. ”Since the devils are ugly and misshapen beyond compare, why are they not visible to humans, for then nobody would follow them or give them their consent?” Answer to the first question …Mususu
"Answer to the second question. ”As to why my glory is not seen, I answer: My glory is ineffable and cannot be compared to anything in sweetness and goodness. If my glory were to be seen as it is, the corruptible human body would grow weak and fail as did the senses of those who saw my glory on the mount. Besides, because of the soul's joy, the body would leave off working and be incapable of physical activity."
"Answer to the first question. The Judge answered:”My friend, I am God, the creator of all, who does no more injustice to the wicked than to the good, because I am justice itself. It is in accord with my justice that entry into heaven must be gained through steadfast faith, rational hope, and fervent love."

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 …Mususu
All Saints' Day (in the Roman Catholic Church officially the Solemnity of All Saints and also called All Hallows or Hallowmas[3]), often shortened to All Saints, is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. In the Western calendar it is the day after Halloween and the day before All Souls' Day. In Western Christian theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countries. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the next day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual bond between those in purgatory (the 'Church Suffering'), those in heaven (the '…Mususu
The Shipwreck Survivor Humor ne balmy day in the South Pacific, a navy ship espied smoke coming from one of three huts on an uncharted island. Upon arriving at the shore they were met by a shipwreck survivor. He said, "I'm so glad you're here! I've been alone on this island for more than five years!" The captain replied, "If you're all alone on the island why do I see THREE huts." The survivor said, "Oh. We'll, I live in one, and go to church in another." "What about the THIRD hut?" asked the captain. "That's where I USED to go to church."
Vicar General Richard Smith of the diocese of Joliet attended the homosexual “wedding” of the diocese’s chancellor, Robert Salvato, on December 13. ComplicitClergy.com stated on January 5 that there is an eyewitness who confirms that the vicar general was in attendance. Additionally, two other sources identified the vicar general featured in photos from the "wedding". Monsignor Ronald Hicks, 58, was installed as Bishop of Joliet in July 2020. On 1 December 2020, he appointed the pro-homosexual priest Richard Smith as vicar general and, in 2021, the homosexual Salvato as his chancellor. On 18 December, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Hicks as Archbishop of New York. He will be installed as the new Archbishop in February. On December 23, Leo XIV declined to comment on his controversial appointment of Ronald Hicks to New York. #newsBrjjdpyuyv
Three Friars. A rare shot of three types of friars together in Blackfriars church, Oxford. The name Friar is a corruption of the French word frère ("brother" in English), and dates from the 13th century. The French word frère in turn comes from the Latin word frater, which also means "brother". Friars are like monks who live in communities and pray the Divine Office but unlike monks, they are not bound to a particular monastery for life but to an international Order. Friars are thus called itinerants. They are also mendicants, espousing poverty and begging for their living unlike the monks who generally have land and property on which they work for a living. In this photo, we see a Greyfriar (Franciscan), a Blackfriar (Dominican) and a Whitefriar (Carmelite). Although the White Friar is not wearing his white cape over his brown habit, he may still be called this!
