"I do not recall any criticism directed at Pope Francis", Cardinal Stefen Brislin of Johannesburg, South Africa, said at a press briefing on January 8 about the consistory. However, the intervention of Cardinal Joseph Zen was a sharp accusation against Pope Francis, claiming that he was guilty of "ironclad manipulation" and fracturing the Church.

While I cannot speak for him, one of the diplomats, and politicians, most frequently used tools is selective recall. It would be unfortunate if our prelates have taken to using such tools. St. Peter was truly repentent for the three times he used it.
The Breakdown of Patriarchy and the Necessity of Restoration for Western Civilization Introduction The crises of modern Western civilization—political instability, social fragmentation, and ecclesial division—cannot be fully understood apart from the collapse of hierarchical authority, particularly patriarchy, which is the divinely instituted ordering of human relationships across family, civil society, and the Church. This essay argues that the rejection of Pope Boniface VIII’s infallible declaration in Unam Sanctam (1302) marked the beginning of a prolonged dismantling of patriarchal order, culminating in the 20th century with near-total disorder at all levels of society. The restoration of Western Civilization, therefore, requires the deliberate reestablishment of patriarchal hierarchy in the family, civil institutions, and ecclesial structures. I. Unam Sanctam and the Rejection of Supreme Authority In 1302, Pope Boniface VIII issued Unam Sanctam, solemnly and infallibly declaring …More
Good article. Tracing the collapse of the patriarchy to Luther's rejection of both papal authority and assertion of the priesthood of all believers ca 1517 may be a clearer origin of the collapse of the patriarchy. That collapse is certainly a critical component in the collapse of both Western Civilization and Christendom.
"5. I feel sure that vexation at thinking that during our life on earth God can bestow these graces on the souls of others shows a want of humility and charity for one’s neighbour, for why should we not feel glad at a brother’s receiving divine favours which do not deprive us of our own share? Should we not rather rejoice at His Majesty’s thus manifesting His greatness wherever He chooses?"
[Saint Teresa of Avila XVI Century AD; Avila, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy/Alba de Tormes, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy; Aged 67; Virgin; Doctor of the Church; Mystic; Writer; Reformer] “CHAPTER I ~ THIS CHAPTER TREATS OF THE BEAUTY AND DIGNITY OF OUR SOULS AND MAKES A COMPARISON TO EXPLAIN THIS. THE ADVANTAGE OF KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS AND THE FAVOURS GOD GRANTS TO US IS SHOWN, AND HOW PRAYER IS THE GATE OF THE SPIRITUAL CASTLE. 1. WHILE I was begging our Lord to-day to speak for me, since I knew not what to say nor how to commence this work which obedience has laid upon me, an idea occurred to me which I will explain, and which will serve as a foundation for that I am about to write. 2. I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in heaven there are many mansions. If we reflect, sisters, we shall see that the soul of the just man is but a paradise, in which, God tells us …More

Documents such as Fiducia Supplicans on homosexual "blessings" or Mater Populi Fidelis on Our Lady need to be corrected and given a “true interpretation in the sense of the traditional doctrine” in order to remain coherent with tradition, retired Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti told Michael Haynes on 8 January for PelicanPlus.com (Blogger software Ghost.org): "The biggest problem is that we have never had a situation like this before, where the Dicastery or the Magisterium of the Church has become inconsistent and incoherent. That’s the great problem. We have to correct that." The Bishop added: "As we have seen with Fiducia Supplicans, there has been resistance to the document, and good theological arguments have been put forward against it. The document is not well founded. So, resistance is arising, and you can observe that, in a second note, Cardinal Fernández downplays it a little." Regarding Islam, Bishop Eleganti said that he is not "so naive as to think that water and …More
If the Papal 'teaching' is "inconsistent and incoherent", it does not follow or draw upon Christ's teachings which are the essence of consistency and coherency. Inconsistent and incoherent 'teachings' are nothing short of heresy. Any Pope worthy of the Seat would point that out and act accordingly.
All the proof in the world will not change their mind. It's very sad when people don't even ask for the truth. And even more sad they get angry or upset when you try to show them the truth.
The number of practicing Catholics increased nationwide from 2010 to 2020, even as the number of churches shrank

Beauty is not the goal. A humble priest and ragged congregation in a humble chapel which is true to the Apostolic faith is more beautiful in the eyes of Heaven than the best pagentry the Synodal Church can muster.
10.01.2026 CONSERVATIVE CARDINALS AT THE CONSISTORY SUPPORT THE LIBERAL AND SCHISMATIC VATICAN COUNCIL II APPROVED BY THE LEFT Cardinals today are in a similar situation as when King Henry VIII wanted to marry Anne Boleyn and threathened to take away the property of the English cardinals who did not support him. So Protestantism was born. Cardinals Sarah, Burke, Muller and Napier at the Consistory were supporting an irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II which is politically correct and is used to rationalize LGBT ideology. The conservative cardinals did not issue a statement saying ‘LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical cases only. They are not physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church. They are not explicit exceptions for Ad Gentes 7 (all need faith and baptism for salvation) and neither are objective exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442, which did not mention …More
Happy Birthday St. Philomena today and tomorrow we celebrate the Patronage of Saint Philomena. Venerable Fulton J. Sheen once said: “When a child is given to his parents, a crown is made for that child in Heaven, and woe to the parents who raise a child without consciousness of that eternal crown!”
We realize,” said Philomena, ” that we are before God as so many vases of honor; some larger, some smaller. The vases of our soul expand according to our desire to love God during our life on earth. As soon as we are brought into the presence of God, each vase is filled to the brim with knowledge and love of Him. This plenitude is what is called essential glory and this, through all eternity, cannot be enlarged or diminished. God Himself can put in the hearts of the faithful to pray to Him through His Saints; and then grace descends from Him like crystal-clear water, falling on our vases. Being already full, they [the saints] cannot contain it, wherefore the water splashes from them, falling upon earth enriching you who are yet pilgrims. This is the glory which is called accidental glory, which can increase or diminish. But in either case, we lose nothing. Always, we give glory to God.’
Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media In 1991, globalist think tank the Club of Rome released a document titled 'The First Global Revolution', in which they announced "global warming" as the new pretext to wage war on humanity. "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome." "The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."
