The governance of Bishop Fernando Arêas Rifan, 75, of the Old Rite Apostolic Administration in Campos, Brazil, has been extended until spring 2027. He announced the extension in a pastoral letter published on January 11 on AdApostolica.org. Monsignor Rifan recalled his meetings with Leo XIV in the autumn. On 15 November 2025, he was received in private audience by Leo XIV, to whom he presented his resignation and the situation of the Apostolic Administration. Leo XIV asked whether Bishop Rifan also celebrates the Novus Ordo. “I told him that in our churches we celebrate the ancient rite, but that when invited I concelebrate with our diocesan bishop, Bishop Roberto Paz, using the current rite, and likewise when I or our priests, when invited, celebrate Mass in the churches of the dioceses, we celebrate the Mass in the current form.” Bishop Rifan on Leo XIV’s reaction: “He showed himself satisfied.” On 17 November, Monsignor Rifan was received at the Dicastery for Bishops. There, he …Ավելին

New Archbishop of Cape Town Gave “Collective Absolution” at Ecumenical Gathering: Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Sithembele Anton Sipuka, 65, as Archbishop of Cape Town on January 9. In October 2024, Sipuka had been elected President of the ecumenical body 'South African Council of Churches' (SACC). At the SACC’s National Day of Prayer in June 2025, the program included a “collective confession of sins.” A woman introducing the segment in the recorded video declared: “Beloved in Christ, let us confess our sins before the Almighty.” The congregation was then led through a national confession, explicitly naming colonialism, apartheid, racism, corruption, violence, and injustice. Participants were instructed to repeat the text aloud together. Following this confession, Monsignor Sipuka addressed the largely Protestant assembly with words resembling absolution: “And so let us accept the gracious forgiveness of God. Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love towards us. …Ավելին
During the National Day of Prayer ecumenical service in June 2025, held at Grace Bible Church in Soweto, the South African Council of Churches led a collective confession of sins introduced with the words: “Beloved in Christ, let us confess our sins before the Almighty.” The congregation was then guided through a national confession, naming historical and social sins such as colonialism, apartheid, racism, corruption, violence, and injustice. Immediately following this confession, the Catholic Bishop Sipuka declared forgiveness, stating: “By the grace of God and the love of Christ, you are forgiven.”
Vatican II is no longer being treated as one council received by the Church. It is being treated as the interpretive tribunal before which all other councils must now appear. If something from the past fits the conciliar vocabulary, it may remain. If it resists that vocabulary, it must be “re-read,” “re-framed,” or quietly set aside. This is why the language matters so much.
My Brothers and Sisters In Christ, A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move. What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice. There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process. And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it. From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …Ավելին

Leo XIV’s setting of the consistory is “not normative”, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com (January 11): “This is a method of the synods, and I think it’s helping the Pope not as Bishop of Rome but as a diocesan bishop.” Cardinal Müller sought to dispel what he described as a false dichotomy in the Church’s internal debates. “The Church of Benedict XVI doesn’t exist anymore.” Picture: vatican media, #newsXaqahjlxet
Saint Matthew 7:17.20 "Every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
@Boanerges Boanerges You are absolutely correct! —We can complain til the cows come home but nothing will change for the better. It is a near certainty that things will only get worse. —Jesus Christ created only one Church (now known as the Roman Catholic Church). Moreover, He established only one set of “truths” and commanded the appointed leaders of His Church to teach those “truths,” exclusively, to “all nations.” Those “truths” are the teachings, practices and beliefs of the Catholic religion. —The Second Vatican Council created a counterfeit religion (which faithful Catholics call the “Conciliar” religion). All post-Vatican II popes, bishops and priests follow and promote some or all of the many false teachings contained in the Conciliar religion. —Each and every one of those men of the Conciliar religion who have been responsible for leading unwitting Catholics away from the authentic teachings of the Catholic religion (many to perdition) will one day answer to Jesus Christ …Ավելին

The - for him - perennial question of why we suffer does not admit easy answers, Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, said in a psychologically dense talk in Madrid, Spain, on January 9, 2026, in the Aula Magna of Universidad CEU San Pablo according to OmnesMag.com. Bishop Varden’s episcopal consecration in 2020 was postponed because he was granted a period of leave to recover his strength from exhaustion. Religion or Life Coaching? Bishop Varden believes that pain “belongs to the human condition and cannot be dissolved by rational arguments.” Christian Faith does not seek to justify suffering or pretend it does not exist. Instead, it places suffering before God with reverence, acknowledging its gravity without turning it into an absolute. Monsignor Varden's central idea is that humanity is wounded, yet not defined by its wounds. “The human condition,” he said, “is a painful condition, but not a definitive one.” Victimism Is a Dead End Suffering may condition life, but it does …Ավելին

After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her.

Catholic Bible Study, 1 Samuel 1: Book of 1 Samuel, Hannah's Humble Prayer, Fr. Tim Peters 1st book of Samuel 1,9-20. Hannah rose after a meal at Shiloh, and presented herself before the LORD; at the time, Eli the priest was sitting on a chair near the doorpost of the LORD's temple. In her bitterness she prayed to the LORD, weeping copiously, and she made a vow, promising: "O LORD of hosts, if you look with pity on the misery of your handmaid, if you remember me and do not forget me, if you give your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the LORD for as long as he lives; neither wine nor liquor shall he drink, and no razor shall ever touch his head." As she remained long at prayer before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth, for Hannah was praying silently; though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli, thinking her drunk, said to her, "How long will you make a drunken show of yourself? Sober up from your wine!" "It isn't that, my lord," Hannah answered. "I am an unhappy …Ավելին

John-Henry Westen, Fr, Charles Murr, Frank Wright – Top Vatican insider RISKS EVERYTHING to denounce synodality as NOT CATHOLIC Doctrinal confusion grows within the Catholic Church, as discussed in this conversation referencing insights from Professor William Thomas’ recent warnings about modernism and ambiguity from Church leaders. The panel discusses how silence, compromise, and contradictory messaging, especially on issues like sexuality, migration, and ecclesial reform, are eroding trust among the faithful. The conversation critiques the replacement of clear, revealed truth with emotion-driven theology and political convenience, arguing this shift contributes to the unraveling of moral and spiritual coherence. Referencing Venezuela, the hosts examine how Catholic social teaching is often selectively applied, depending on the political climate. The episode calls for renewed moral courage, fidelity to tradition, and resistance to the theological drift reshaping the Church from within. …Ավելին
