Stretol sa s komunitou, aby zhodnotil humanitárne a pomocné úsilie a prediskutoval plány na nasledujúce mesiace, a zajtra bude vo farnosti sláviť vianočnú eucharistiu.

Estamos enraizados aqui e vamos permanecer".

He was linked to a controversy this year when he reportedly privately defended a Catholic MP after the MP was banned from receiving Communion by his priest for voting in favour of assisted suicide.
Thu Dec 18, 2025 - 1:15 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Michael Martin of the Diocese of Charlotte has officially ordered that altar rails and kneelers no longer be used for the reception of Holy Communion. “The use of altar rails, kneelers, and prie-dieus are not to be utilized for the reception of Communion in public celebrations by January 16, 2026,” instructed Martin in a Pastoral Letter on Norms for Holy Communion issued Wednesday. In keeping with this rule, he ordered churches to remove all “temporary or movable fixtures used for kneeling” for Holy Communion by January 16.

PAPA LEONE HA ROVINATO IL NATALE A PAOLO RUFFINI E ANDREA TORNIELLI – PREVOST SCAPPA DAL VATICANO PER UN DOPPIO BLITZ ALLA NUNZIATURA APOSTOLICA E AL SENATO, LASCIANDO ALL’OSCURO LA SALA STAMPA DI SAN PIETRO, CHE AVEVA ORGANIZZATO UN BRINDISI IN ONORE E GLORIA DEL DINAMICO DUO DELLA COMUNICAZIONE VATICANA – CHE ASPETTANO RUFFINI E TORNIELLI A LASCIARE I PALAZZI D’OLTRETEVERE, DOVE VENGONO CONSIDERATI AL PIÙ COME DUE PASTICCIONI?
DAGONOTA ANDREA TORNIELLI PAOLO RUFFINI Papa Leone XIV ha rovinato il Natale di Paolo Ruffini e Andrea Tornielli. Il pontefice si è presentato a sorpresa al Senato per una serie di incontri, e nel pomeriggio visiterà la mostra sulla Bibbia di Borso d’Este a Palazzo della Minerva. Questa mattina, Prevost si è recato alla nunziatura apostolica di via Po per trattenersi anche a pranzo. Che c’azzecca la premiata ditta della comunicazione d’oltretevere? La sala stampa vaticana non era informata del blitz di Papa Leone, e aveva organizzato un brindisi natalizio in onore e gloria di Ruffini (prefetto del Dicastero per la comunicazione della Santa Sede) e Tornielli (direttore editoriale del Dicastero per la comunicazione della Santa Sede). PAPA LEONE XIV ALLA MOSTRA SULLA BIBBIA DI BORSA DESTE A questo punto, sorge una domanda: vista la scarsissima considerazione che Papa Leone ha del tandem Ruffini-Tondelli (che già, nell’ultimo periodo, avevano fatto saltare i nervi anche a Bergoglio), …
Professor James Tour from Rice University, in Houston, Texas, is internationally known and respected among organic chemists. In the interview linked below, he talks to Carlson about the theory evolution that is commonplace thinking and taught in our educational institutions. Except that he thinks it's a myth. He also talks about super human beings, the dangers of genetic engineering and how little we know about the complexities and origin of life. What I found most interesting is that Tour as a respected scientist isn't afraid to share his belief in God. He's a Christian but was born in a Jewish family. He believes that science supports the idea of a creator. Science and faith are not mutually exclusive. Science can help answer the questions of faith. In fact, Tour argues that science provides much evidence for belief. Amway, watch the interview and come to your own conclusion. From the Gospel of St. John 1:1-14: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word …
James Martin, SJ: "Welcome to New York, Bishop Hicks! A great choice for the Archdiocese of New York: a gifted, hard-working and compassionate pastor close to the poor"
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Ron Hicks, 58, of Joliet, Illinois, as the 11th Archbishop of New York. Monsignor Hicks was ordained as a priest in 1994 by likely homosexual Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. He was ordained as an auxiliary bishop by pro-homosexual Cardinal Blase Cupich, whom he owes his entire carreer. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who has led the Archdiocese of New York since 2009, will be remembered for permitting a transvestite show funeral for homosexual activist Cecilia Gentili at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in February 2024. In all likelihood, substantively, Bishop Hicks will not differ significantly from Cardinal Dolan. First Generation-X Prelate at Major US Archdiocese Bishop Hicks will be the first Generation-X prelate (born roughly between 1965 and 1980) to hold a major U.S. see. He comes from a very different era of seminary formation. The Archbishop of New York is traditionally appointed a cardinal. From 2005 to 2010, Bishop Hicks spent five years on missionary assignment …More
Those who call themselves Catholics are definitely blind and immersed in, and part of, the current apostasy. That's why we read in Revelation that everyone worships the Beast, to whom they themselves give power.
