The popular sandal company is collaborating with the brand Danielle Frankel to create a collection using lustrous fabrics and materials.
Birkenstocks are known for their functionality, not necessarily for having a formal look. But some brides have said they would wear the orthopedic-rooted sandals down the aisle — if only they were reworked to have a distinctly bridal appearance.
In 2023, Danielle Frankel Hirsch, a popular designer for fashionable brides, asked herself, “What if Birkenstock was a bridal shoe? What does that look like?” She sketched dozens of designs, keeping in mind the many faithful Birkenstock customers who want to be comfortable on their wedding day and still feel stylish.
As lifelong fans of Birkenstock, Ms. Frankel Hirsch, who founded the bridal brand Danielle Frankel in 2017, and her husband, Joshua Hirsch, the chief executive of the company, took a particular interest in this concept. He owns seven pairs; she owns …Hiroc’h

Another Belgian Priest Mourned by Concubine — Is Celibacy Still in Force?

The late Belgian Catholic priest Abbé Maurice Léonard, who was publicly mourned by his female “companion” and his “children of the heart,” was not an isolated case.
RiposteCatholique.fr has published on January 29 another obituary that renews questions about clerical celibacy in Belgium.
Abbé Marc Otjacques, a longtime priest in the Andenne region, died on September 4, 2025 at age 73 in a bicycle accident while returning from presiding over a Eucharist.
The official diocesan obituary praised his decades-long commitment to the poor and made no mention of a concubine.
According to a separate family-published notice, the priest was mourned by Madeleine Dorjoux, identified as his companion; Caroline and Ludovic Trufin-Struvay, described as his “daughter of the heart” and son-in-law; and Laure-Anne and Romain, his beloved grandchildren.

Holy See and diplomats echo Pope Leo’s call for an ‘unarmed’ peace

An interreligious service hosted by the Holy See’s Mission to the UN in Geneva gathers diplomats and religious leaders to reflect on Pope Leo XIV’s 2026 World Day of Peace Message amid escalating global conflicts. Cardinal Pizzaballa and the ICRC stress the urgent need for justice, humanitarian law, and a “demanding hope” grounded in dialogue and human dignity.
By Linda Bordoni
Against a backdrop of escalating conflict and a renewed reliance on the “logic of brute force,” the Holy See’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, led by Archbishop Ettore Balestrero, Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See, hosted its 17th Annual Interreligious Service for Peace on Wednesday, bringing together around 300 diplomats, ambassadors, and religious leaders.
Held at the Church of St. Nicolas de Flüe and co-organised with the Diocese of Lausanne, Geneva, and Fribourg, the service centred on Pope Leo XIV’s 2026

One thing as a FAITHFUL CATHOLIC is that, I will never refrain from knowing that GOD in His predilection has chosen Russia to be His instrument in our times as is the Holy Will of GOD.
As a Catholic who loves TRUTH, to follow people today who choose to be blind and deaf about Russia, it reminds one that the followers of the "leaders" and their accomplices of the c-ov-id scamdemic who inverted the TRUTH by gaslighting, fear mongering, and psychological mind-manipulation continue to be unable to break away from the matrix of the propaganda mongers who always deceive and invert the TRUTH.

The Latter Times & the Judgment of Nations

The Latter Times & the Judgment of Nations
Margaret C. Galitzin
---
Recently I came across a small book titled The Latter Times [Los Ultimos Tiempos] by a Spanish Doctor of Sacred Scripture, Fr. Benjamin Sanchez, born in 1905. (1) This short work, which examines public and private prophecies about the Latter Times, is quite interesting and significant for our days. This is particularly so because many Catholics, overwhelmed by the apostasy and sin of our days, are wrongly thinking that we are in the End Times that will immediately precede the Last Judgment.

Interesting AI research analysis -- Introduction to the Article and Its Context
Margaret C. Galitzin’s reflection on Fr. Benjamin Sanchez’s work The Latter Times addresses a growing concern among Catholics: the belief that we are currently in the End Times immediately preceding the Final Judgment. Fr. Sanchez, a Doctor of Sacred Scripture, analyzes both public revelation (Scripture) and private prophecies to clarify this confusion.
The article emphasizes that the current signs of apostasy, moral decay, and global unrest—while serious—are not necessarily indicators of the immediate approach of the Last Judgment. Instead, they may point to a Great Chastisement, a Judgment of Nations, which will purify the world but not end it.

I like your post. I think we are in the time where satan is unbound (Rev. Chap. 20) because Pope Leo 13th had the mystical experience in 1884 where satan asked to try the Church and God permitted it. I think the next step would be the Second Coming of Christ.

Belgian Bishops Call for Open Debate on Female Deacons

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. …Hiroc’h

24. There are indeed several true devotions to our Lady

26. The second consists in entertaining for our Lady deeper feelings of esteem and love, of confidence and veneration. This devotion inspires us to join the confraternities of the Holy Rosary and the Scapular, to say the five or fifteen decades of the Rosary, to venerate our Lady's pictures and shrines, to make her known to others,…Hiroc’h

The Grace of God and Perfect Devotion to Mary According to Saint Louis de Montfort
Saint Louis de Montfort emphasizes that the grace of God is absolutely necessary for salvation and holiness, and this grace is uniquely accessed through a deep, total consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In The Secret of Mary, he outlines a progression of devotions to Mary, culminating in what he calls the "perfect devotion"—a voluntary, loving slavery to Mary as the surest path to union with Jesus Christ.
Three Kinds of Devotion to Mary
The first devotion involves fulfilling Christian duties, avoiding mortal sin, and occasional prayers to Mary, honoring her as the Mother of God without exceptional dedication.It consists in total self-consecration to Mary as a "slave of love," surrendering all—body, soul, possessions, merits, graces, and the satisfactory value of good works—for her to dispose of according to God’s greater glory.

Fr. Victor Mroz OFM Cap. - Part II: Exile
After the destruction of Hanaczow from hands of Ukrainians and Germans – as monstrous as absurd it was considering the fast approaching Soviets – Fr. Wiktor followed thousands of Polish Catholic running westward. In the summer of 1944, putting away his illusions regarding AK (Home Army) that did not cope in the face of “liberators” from the East he became involved with NSZ (National Armed Forces) as a chaplain of one of regiments in the region of Sandomierz (town on the Vistula river) and in the autumn of the same year as the chaplain of the Holy Cross Brigade (Holy Cross is the name of the ancient Polish monastery on the top of the mountain near Kielce, with the True Cross relics, endorsed by Polish kings, e.g. Ladislav Jagiello, the husband of St. Hedwig the Queen, from which the whole region took name; the Brigade was thus named after the region not after the monastery).
NSZ was in fact the most realistic thinking Polish underground organization …Hiroc’h

Cupich Wanted to Be Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops Instead of Robert Prevost - Report

Cardinal Blase Cupich, 76, of Chicago questioned in 2021 Pope Francis’ idea of appointing Bishop Robert Prevost as Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, according to LaNuovaBq.it on January 30.
Cardinal Cupich had ambitions to be appointed to the position himself.
Such a move would have blocked his compatriot’s path to the cardinalate and, in all likelihood, to the papacy.
Francis decided otherwise and appointed Bishop Prevost as Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops in January 2023.

"Under international law and longstanding status-quo arrangements, military intimidation or interference around holy sites is prohibited. Nevertheless, local sources warn that any Palestinian who contests or resists these measures faces severe punishment, including arrest, physical violence, or collective reprisals by Israeli forces."
