Pope Leo XIV today accepted the resignation of conservative Archbishop Samuel Aquila, 75, from Denver and appointed James R. Golka, 59, as his successor. Monsignor Golka was appointed bishop of Colorado Springs by Pope Francis in April 2021. In June 2025, El País described Golka as having “similar ideological leanings as Pope Francis.” When Golka became Bishop in Colorado Springs, the Peruvian priest Ricardo Coronado-Arrascue was serving as judicial vicar and chancellor of this diocese. A Peruvian Canon Lawyer with Ties to Prevost Coronado is a former Peruvian Augustinian friar who left the order in 2001 to become a diocesan priest. He knows Robert Prevost well, and the two have had tensions in the past according to CruxNow.com. In May 2022, Coronado resigned his offices in Colorado Springs, and a settlement agreement was signed between him and the diocese. The Making of a Disobedience Case In June 2023, the diocese Colorado Springs stated publicly that it had received “accusations” …More
Cardinal Cupich submitted his request for resignation two years ago. Not a good look for Pope Leo. The American laity request Cupich’s replacement in this era of synodality and listening. He has done untold damage to the Church

The Satanic panic is a moral panic consisting of over 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritual abuse (SRA), sometimes known as ritual abuse, starting in North America in the 1980s, spreading throughout many parts of the world by the late 1990s, and persisting today. The panic originated in 1980 with the publication of Michelle Remembers, a book co-written by Canadian psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder and his patient (and future wife), Michelle Smith, which used the controversial and now discredited practice of recovered-memory therapy to make claims about Satanic ritual abuse involving Smith. The allegations, which arose afterward throughout much of the United States, involved reports of physical and sexual abuse of people in the context of occult or Satanic rituals. Some allegations involve a conspiracy of a global Satanic cult that includes the wealthy and elite in which children are abducted or bred for human sacrifice, pornography, and prostitution.

Is there anyone in the audience who wants to be deported by ICE? Raise your hand! The Bishop may actually be performing an act of charity. Afterall, are any of these "illegals" even being convicted? Being an "illegal" is merely a civil offence. Without due process of the law they are being violated! But, hey, this is a made for tv sitcom so expect more garish behavior from these nutcases!
“There has been a confusion in the Church with regard to moral questions”, Cardinal Raymond Burke told the Substack.com-Account Per Mariam on February 5. “There are questions of intrinsic evils, for instance the killing of an innocent, defenseless human life is always and everywhere wrong. It’s intrinsically evil.” Regarding the million babies killed in the womb every year in the USA, Cardinal Burke said that it is “really infanticide”. About Euthanasia and the denial of nutrition and hydration to patients, Cardinal Burke said: “The Church has first of all, to announce clearly her teaching and not in any way give the impression that She’s unsure about what should happen in these cases, but at the same time to support those members of the faithful who are trying to establish Catholic medical schools, truly Catholic hospitals.” On contraception, he said that it is “an attack on marriage“: “The true meaning of our human sexuality is that it’s not for lust, but it’s for love.” Cardinal …More
Nice words, but....This would have sufficed back in 2013 or 2014. 12 years later and tens of millions of souls lost, this kind of response is just a sad reminder of the current state of the affairs among those who wear blood-red cardinal hats.
And to think that those in charge are making huge profits from the war. All done with the suffering and deaths of the poor people. Trump during the election said he could end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. He lied. He’s one of them.
Prevost and his cardinals and bishops need to unite and condemn Zionist genocide in Palestine. They should be hammering this point frequently and insisting that it stop NOW. Prevost should meet with Trump and EU to condemn this genocide. He won't because all he cares about is Synodality and welcoming perverts into the Church.
'THE FIVE FIRST SATURDAYS DEVOTION ON WHICH WAR OR PEACE DEPENDS The Relevance of the Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, on December 10, 1925, in Pontevedra, Spain, by Father Martin A. Huber''
Mon Dec 1, 2025 - 6:00 am ESTTue Dec 2, 2025 - 10:51 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — Father Martin Huber, a member of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) in Germany, has written a concise and very helpful guide for the First Saturday devotion in light of the 100th Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima in Pontevedra, Spain, on December 10, 1925, in which Our Lady officially requested the practice of this devotion. LifeSiteNews is pleased to publish this guide, hoping to encourage our readers to start this December with a renewed energy and attentiveness to this devotion. It is something, as our Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen insists, that we as lay people can and should do to further the spiritual and practical healing of Church and state. According to Fr. Huber, “war or peace” depends on this devotion, and he quotes the Fatima seer, Sister Lucia, as saying in 1939: War or peace in the world depends on the practice of this devotion (the first Saturdays), together with …
In this talk from The People’s Reset 2026, Christian Westbrook (formerly Ice Age Farmer, now UNSHADOWED) bridges collapse awareness with regenerative design. “The question I heard most as Ice Age Farmer: “What can I do without land? I can’t afford acreage, I’m in the city/apartment, or caring for family...” The answer: Start with the zone you do control. Zone 00: your consciousness and inner landscape. Permaculture principles (observe & interact, catch & store energy, obtain a yield, no waste, edges, creative response to change, etc.) apply just as well when looking inward. Tend your own awareness like a garden: harvest joy as renewable energy, compost pain into wisdom, integrate shadow aspects (Jungian work). Build anti-fragile flexibility amid systemic collapse. No government can repossess your breath, hijack your gratitude, or tax your relationships. This is sovereign territory—immune to encroaching technocratic totalitarianism. The real shift isn’t about doing more or …
Former Norbertine brother James Joseph Owens, 68, in New Mexico has been indicted for allegedly stealing more than $2 million from his religious community. He had served as treasurer and oversaw a construction project. He was arrested on 23 January and charged with eight counts of wire fraud, 23 counts of engaging in monetary transactions involving property derived from unlawful activity, and one count of tax evasion. Prosecutors allege that Owens stole the funds while managing the finances of the Norbertine Community of Santa María de la Vid Abbey. Court documents state that he joined the community in 2009 and was appointed treasurer in 2016. Investigators allege that, between 2022 and early 2023, he diverted abbey funds through wire transfers, brokerage accounts and cryptocurrency transactions. He then used this money for personal investments and to purchase a home near Albuquerque. He is also accused of filing a fraudulent 2022 tax return by failing to report income from the …More

Every Texan knows this story: Long before we knew about politics, before we knew the arguments, before we knew how to quibble over details, we were taught something in school that shaped our bones. At the Alamo, there came a moment when there were no more letters to send, no reinforcements coming, no negotiations left to try. The enemy was at the gates. Surrender had been demanded. And everyone knew what surrender would mean. So the commander – William Barrett Travis – gathered his men – not to inspire them, not to give a pep talk, but to tell them the truth. He drew a line in the dirt. On one side of that line was safety – at least for the moment. On the other side was almost certain death. And he said, in effect: “Choose.” Only one man stepped back. The rest stepped forward. That line in the sand was not drawn to start a rebellion. It was drawn to end illusions. Crossing it did not guarantee victory – it guaranteed fidelity. And whether we like it or not, that is where the Church …More
God dwells within every human life and this idea can offer consolation and direction to homosexual Catholics, writes pro-homosexual Malta Archbishop Charles Scicluna on the pro-homosexual Outreach.faith (February 3) His text employes psychological categories and rhetoric such as “feelings”, “wounds”, “weaknesses”, “fear”, “self-punishment”, “self-doubt”, “dependence”, “healing”, and so on. As if there were no sin, Monsignor Scicluna claims that “our stories, relationships, questions and identities are never beyond God’s loving gaze”. He believes that “our lived experiences—including our questions, wounds and hopes—are not obstacles to God, but places of encounter”. “Many of us, including LGBTQ Catholics, experience fragmentation: a sense of being divided between faith and identity, church and self, hope and fear. God’s presence gently draws us towards integration and peace.” The key phrase is: “We are called to become people who welcome, listen and accompany others with …More
Of course the church should follow in Jesus' footsteps to love, sacrifice, and CALL TO REPENTANCE all his children. When we do not call those enslaved to sin to repentance, we do not love them, we lock them away from God's mercy. Jesus did not accompany Mary Magdalene in her sin, but called her to sin no more. The very concept of original sin says, how you were born does not determine your destiny unless you refuse God's grace to change.
“We are called to become people who welcome, listen and accompany others with respect and tenderness irrespective of religious, cultural, racial or sexual differences. This is what God’s inclusive love is all about.” But if you die in mortal sin, nothing of the above will help. This bishop is deliberately muddying the waters.
Democrats have spent years insisting illegal immigrants do not vote, yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just gave the whole game away. In a letter to GOP leadership, they demanded a slate of “reforms” to immigration enforcement as the price for funding the Department of Homeland Security, including targeted enforcement, no masks, mandatory use of body cameras, and other demands, several of which I suspect are nonstarters. I don’t see Democrats getting anywhere with these, but the big thing is that buried in that list is a rather revealing demand: Protect Sensitive Locations - Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc. Polling places? They went out of their way to include polling places right alongside hospitals, courts, and churches. There is only one thing that happens at polling places that would …

In such a case a man, having naturally, if in good health, a desire for food, would find himself, so long as he was kept from dying or falling sick, getting more and more hungry; for his craving would continue undiminished, he would know that the bread, and nothing but the bread, could satisfy him, and not being able to reach it, would remain in intolerable pain ; the nearer he got to the bread without seeing it the more ardently would he crave for it, and would direct himself wholly towards it, as being the only thing which could afford relief ; and if he were assured that he never could …More

Asked for an example of a condition that the SSPX could not accept in order to be in full Communion with Rome, the Superior General goes scorched earth: “The first example that comes to mind dates back to 2019, when Pope Francis, on the occasion of his visit to the Arabian Peninsula, signed, together with an imam, the well-known Abu Dhabi declaration. Together with the Muslim leader, he affirmed that the plurality of religions had been willed as such by divine Wisdom. It is evident that a communion founded upon the acceptance of such a statement, or which would include it, would simply not be Catholic, since it would constitute a sin against the First Commandment and the denial of the first article of the Creed. I consider such a statement to be more than a simple error. It is simply inconceivable. It cannot be the foundation of Catholic communion, but rather the cause of its dissolution. I believe that a Catholic should prefer martyrdom rather than accept such an affirmation.”
