Ukraine Returns St. Nicholas Cathedral to Catholic Community | Shalom World News In a historically significant move, Ukraine has handed over Kyiv’s St. Nicholas Cathedral to the Roman Catholic community for their use for the next 50 years. This Neo-Gothic masterpiece belonged to the Catholic community until it was closed down and converted into a concert venue under Soviet rule. The announcement of the transfer came on the Feast of the Epiphany, marked by prayers and a Holy Mass at the church attended by senior Ukrainian officials, clergy, and members of the faithful. The cathedral, a protected national heritage site, has endured wartime damage, Soviet-era repression, and most recently the effects of a Russian missile strike nearby during the invasion of Ukraine. Government officials said the decision restores the building’s original purpose as a place of worship while maintaining state ownership and heritage protections.
JANUARY 9 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 5,12-16. It happened that there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where Jesus was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I do will it. Be made clean." And the leprosy left him immediately. Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but "Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them." The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.
A group of Catholics in Lebanon have launched a legal bid to prevent an upcoming performance by Portuguese priest Guilherme Peixoto. His "music" blends electronic dance beats with religious imagery. He is scheduled to perform at the AHM nightclub in Beirut on 10 January. The petitioners have submitted a request to a Beirut summary affairs judge, seeking to halt the concert. They argue that the performance 'undermines church values' and 'misrepresents Christian rituals', citing concerns over a priest performing as a DJ in a nightclub. However, resorting to the state in such matters is futile. Padre Peixoto is due to preside over a Eucharist in Kaslik on the same day. Supporters rightly argue that his ministry and artistic work are officially recognised by church authorities in many countries. He also performed at World Youth Day in Lisbon in 2023, just before Pope Francis's Eucharist. #newsFaulcgdlqq
Saint Mark 12:17 Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-19: “Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?”
How can the Catholic Church seek unity with other Christian communities by compromising the Word of God and disregarding the divine commandments? Authentic Christian unity can never be built upon the denial of revealed truth or moral absolutes. Ideologies that contradict natural law and divine revelation—such as the normalization of homosexual acts, abortion, contraception, IVF, euthanasia, and attacks against the sacramental nature of the priesthood and the Sacrament of Confession—cannot serve as foundations for true communion.

That is how I would describe the globalist agenda of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), which aims to stir up climate panic. I too believe that our environment is in a critical state. However, placing the responsibility for restoring the climate on those who caused this situation is the worst of all possible options. Power outage in Berlin – a country that wants to save the world fails itself due to a power outage! Yesterday, the White House announced its withdrawal from further international organizations that are instruments of globalists whose goal is to rule the entire world. Today’s article on tkp.at is dedicated to this topic: US leaves IPCC climate panel and dozens of UN organizations.Source. This will further weaken the UN, which will undoubtedly also weaken globalist-liberal plans for world domination. The UN (via the WHO) was a key player in the management of the coronavirus pandemic …
Gen. Michael Flynn Alleges Speaker Mike … Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has leveled explosive allegations against Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, claiming that a lack of accountability regarding massive taxpayer fraud in Minnesota is linked to the Speaker’s own financial networks. In a recent statement, the former National Security Advisor suggested that his private investigation into the “robbery” of American taxpayers led him directly to the door of the House leadership. Flynn stated that he began looking into the lack of federal movement on the Minnesota daycare fraud cases. His findings, he claims, point to a circular flow of capital involving Speaker Johnson’s Political Action Committees (PACs). General Michael Flynn says he’s knows why we’re not getting accountability for the Minnesota daycare fraud He’s looked into Speaker Mike Johnson and he’s getting daycare and healthcare clinic money funneled through PACs Taxpayers are being robbed blind “I want Speaker …More
If you haven't been to a dance party at SEEK, one of the biggest Roman Catholic conferences of the year, and danced to 'Shakira' while a nun fills the room with bubbles from a bubble gun, can you really call yourself a Catholic?
— “My mom is living her life all wrong. I really want to help her…” — “Help her how, exactly?” — “Teach her how to live the right way.” — “And you?” — “What about me?” — “Are you living the right way?” — “Why are we talking about me? I’m talking about my mom!” That’s how this story began—an ordinary one, yet deeply revealing. Sitting across from me was a young, beautiful woman in a bright dress, wrists full of shiny bracelets. Confident. Modern. Put together. Her mother, she said, lived “the wrong way.” Because despite having an apartment and even a voucher for a wellness resort, she stubbornly refused to relax. Instead, she wanted her garden, her vegetable beds, her potatoes. “I’ve told her a hundred times—just buy the potatoes, I’ll pay!” the daughter complained. “All she and her friends talk about are their grandkids.” “And what do you think they should be talking about?” I asked. “Spiritual growth,” she said without hesitation. “And you?” I smiled. “Me again?” …More
Because she understood: everything she has today grew out of those garden beds. “But you’re only talking about material things,” she objected softly. “There’s also spirituality, trust, love…” “It’s easy to talk about spirituality when your fridge is full,” I replied. “It’s much harder when it’s empty. Your mother gave you everything she could. And it worked—you now have choices. How to live. What to believe in. And now—it’s your turn.”
