Thu Jan 29, 2026 - 5:12 pm ESTFri Jan 30, 2026 - 9:46 am EST VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV, during an address that concluded the plenary session of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) on Thursday, commended the dicastery’s November doctrinal note that rejected the Blessed Mother’s titles of “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of all Graces.” During Leo’s January 29 remarks thanking the DDF for its work on several doctrinal documents over the past few years, the pontiff briefly lauded its work on the November 2025 noteMater Populi Fidelis (“Mother of the Faithful People of God”), which notably declared the Marian title “Co-Redemptrix” to be both inappropriate and theologically “unhelpful.” The document also discouraged the use of Our Lady’s title of “Mediatrix of all Graces.” Since its publication, the document has received considerable backlash from numerous Catholic bishops, priests, and Mariologists who have reaffirmed Our Lady’s ancient titles.

Our Lady is one of the two Pillars of the Catholic and Apostolic Church, the other being the Eucharist (Jesus Christ Who is God Himself); this is according to one of St John Bosco's 40 dreams he had. Many Saints and the Church Fathers agree on this; without Our Lady hardly anyone would make it to Heaven; why? Because she is the ARK and Holy without sin Whom God chose Her before all creation for Her Role in Salvation for mankind. Jesus Christ is like the (analogy in spiritual speaking) Chief Executive Officer and Our Lady is His assistant
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has voted in favor of a ban on so-called “conversion therapy” for homosexuals. The broad term explicitly includes prayers and religious counselling relating to gender dysphoria. The resolution defines that it is a “false belief” that gender expression is undesirable or capable of change. It contains no exception for pedophilia. The text states that prohibited practices include “spiritual and religious rituals,” placing prayer aimed at encouraging alignment with biological sex alongside methods such as coercion, forced medication, and physical abuse. In addition, the resolution calls for mandatory comprehensive sexuality education in schools, including instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, with the stated goal of combating “prejudice and misinformation.” Children are encouraged to identify and report attempts at so-called conversion practices. While the resolution is formally non-binding, such measures are frequently …More
Be a Saint -- 12 Rules for Holiness with guide – Maximilian Kolbe Rule 1: You must be a saint. This is your purpose in life, and everything else should be secondary to achieving the highest possible level of holiness, because your holiness at the moment of death is what you will have for all eternity. • Rule 2: Seek the greatest possible glory of God by working for your own salvation and sanctification and the salvation and sanctification of others. Work hard to save souls and glorify God, trusting that Our Lady wants this to happen even more than you do. • Rule 3: Make up your mind to never commit a single mortal sin, nor even a deliberate venial sin.Deliberate venial sin is a great obstacle to holiness, and it is better to lose anything, even life, than to offend God with even a single venial sin. • Rule 4: Don’t let any evil go without reparation and seize every opportunity to do good, because you will be judged for the good you did and failed to do, as well as for the evil you …More
Our Lord told us there's no one good, despite that, He died to give us a fighting chance, yet He knows, as He is God, Judgment day will see both goats and sheeps. If only they would've give a chance to God reign inside hearts back then, they would've not betray Him so openly, and I say openly because we all have our favorite sins after all, but after seeing all those plagues in Egypt, after walking with half the sea on your left and the other on the right, theyr chose a golden calf, I cant even measure the frustration God had at the time, Moses pleaded for Mercy and that he got. Only those who remain true didn’t suffer His Justice... The same can be said of pharaoh, he saw God’s Might many times, and even before his army entered the red sea, a column of fire stood before Israel and him, and STILL he chased them. God, through the prophets warned us about a hardened heart, such could be said of St Paul who persecuted and murdered christians, but his heart had a thrist for God and He made …More
Requiescat in pace, good bishop Richard Williamson. Interview of Bishop Williamson by Fr. David Nix youtube.com/watch?v=WjUrIIu7epg --- Richard Williamson was born in the UK during WWII in 1940. He converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism in 1971. He was later ordained a priest in 1976 and consecrated a bishop in 1988, both by Archbishop Lefebvre. Retired Naval Academy professor Dr. David Allen White wrote that Bishop Williamson is “the most outspoken, detested, persistent, outrageous, implacable, unyielding, forthright, kindly and charitable Catholic Bishop." I hope you agree after watching this video. (The second half is the best.)
The bishops in Flanders, Belgium, want to keep the debate open on allowing women to become deacons, according to CathoBel.be on January 29. They published a statement saying that the issue should not be considered closed at the local level, even after the recent Vatican study. The bishops said that church tradition should not be the deciding factor in the discussion, and that "signs of the times" should be taken seriously. This was in response to the open letter from a group of women frustrated by the recent Vatican study. The bishops replied that they "understand the women’s feelings". Furthermore, they said that women should be more closely involved in decision-making relating to theology, liturgy and pastoral care, and described women’s leadership in the Church as “an undeniable enrichment”. They added that it is not a good thing that only men carry out liturgical roles during church celebrations. They want women to have greater visibility within Church life, within existing limits. …More

The Hardest Death: Yourself The Gospel reading today emphasizes the importance of being watchful for the Lord’s return, which will come unexpectedly. This unpredictability extends to the trials and tribulations we face in life, which are opportunities for spiritual growth and purification.

In 2025, 82% of religious institutes in the USA had no members making perpetual professions. This is according to the January 2026 study, Women and Men Professing Perpetual Vows in Religious Life: The Profession Class of 2025. It was released by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University. The study is based on responses from 520 out of 723 superiors — a response rate of 72% among US religious institutes. Around 10% of institutes reported one perpetual profession, 8% reported between two and nine. Vocations are highly concentrated in a relatively small number of institutes. In total, the responding institutes reported 179 men and women taking perpetual vows in 2025, of whom 105 were men and 74 were women. This reverses a historic pattern. For most of US Catholic history, women's religious life has been numerically dominant. According to the report, 92% of respondents said they had been Catholic since birth. Around 69% were born in the United States. …More

JESUS CHRIST admonished the people to follow good doctrine, not the bad example of the hypocrite leaders- --- Wo to you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you are like whitened sepulchers, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within, are full of dead men’s bones, and of all filthiness. So, you also outwardly, indeed, appear to men just: but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. -GOSPEL of Saint Matthew 23:27-28 [uncorrupted Douay Rheims BIBLE]
The Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Bari stands as one of Christianity’s most important places of Catholic–Orthodox encounter. Since the relics of Saint Nicholas were brought from Myra in 1087, the basilica has welcomed pilgrims from every nation—becoming a living bridge between East and West. In this report, Fr. Emmanuel Albano, Coordinator of the Saint Nicholas Ecumenical Institute, explains why Saint Nicholas is often called the saint of interreligious dialogue. Within the same sacred space, Catholic Mass and the Orthodox Divine Liturgy are celebrated—sometimes at the very same altar—offering a powerful sign of unity rooted in prayer rather than uniformity.In this report, Fr.
