As of January 2026, the Vatican’s highest appellate court has rejected a move by prosecutors to reopen the case against Cardinal Angelo Becciu, following his 2023 conviction for financial crimes, Crux and Catholic Culture reported. The appeal phase, which focuses on defense efforts to overturn the 5.5-year prison sentence for embezzlement and fraud, is scheduled to resume in February 2026
One of the angels flanking the tomb of Italy’s last king, Umberto II, in the San Lorenzo in Lucina basilica in Rome appears to bear the face of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. According to LaRepubblica.it, the angel was originally painted with a generic face prior to recent restoration work. The basilica is currently undergoing broader restoration work, and the Diocese of Rome says this was meant to proceed 'without changes or additions'. Therefore, the alteration of the angel’s face was attributed to the decorative restorer, who was a volunteer, and was not communicated to heritage authorities. Bruno Valentinetti, the restorer, has denied intentionally depicting Meloni, claiming that he was merely replicating imagery from around 25 years ago, using traditional designs and colours. The Diocese says it is investigating the matter further. Prime Minister Meloni responded humorously on social media, writing that she “definitely doesn’t look like an angel”. #newsUyjtlhuqux
When Silence, Confusion, and the Loss of the Sacred Endanger Souls My brothers and sisters in Christ, There are moments in the life of the Church when a shepherd feels a weight that cannot be ignored. Not a political pressure. Not a media storm. But a quiet, insistent sense of responsibility before God. A sense that silence, however comfortable it might seem, is no longer faithful. We are living in such a moment. The Church is not abandoned. Christ remains her Head. He is present in the Eucharist. He is faithful to His promises. And yet, many of the faithful feel unsettled. They feel disoriented. They struggle to put words to it, but they sense that something precious has been weakened, something essential has been obscured. They sense confusion – not just in the world, but within the Church herself. And confusion is never neutral. In Sacred Scripture, the Lord speaks to the prophet Ezekiel and entrusts him with a grave responsibility. He calls him a watchman. A watchman is not asked …More
Baroness Campbell: “When I was admitted to my local hospital with a chest infection, the senior consultant in intensive care informed my husband that it would not be in my best interests, or even fair, to treat me as I was at the end of life. That was over 10 years ago.”
31.01.2026 There is no denial from the Vatican : they must concede that LG 8,14,16,UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 refer to invisible cases in 2026 : Vatican Council II is ecclesiocenric AG 7 has no exceptions. There is no denial from the Vatican Dicastery for Communication over the last few months. The Holy See Press Office does not say that Pope Leo interprets Vatican Council II with a Rational Premise in harmony with an ecclesiocentric Roman Missal. With the Rational Premise Archbishop Vigano and Cardinal Cupich will have the same ecclesiocentric interpretation of Vatican Council II.The SSPX would be aligned with the National Catholic Reporter .There is no comment. 1. I interpret Vatican Council II rationally and non politically. I interpret Vatican Council II with the Rational Premise. This is apostolic and magisterial. It is not schismatic with for example, the Magisterial of the 16th century.But there is no comment from the Vatican. 2. For me the Catechism of the Catholic Church is aligned with …More

Educating in God's Way Saturday, January 31, Feast of St. John Bosco Dear brothers and sisters, on the feast of St. John Bosco, January 31, we would like to recall the three foundations of his preventive education system: reason, religion, and loving-kindness. This education system should be urgently rediscovered and updated in this time of "epochal change," in which the total failure of traditional educational agencies—family, school, and the Church—is clearly evident. To summarize, the educational process must begin again from the relation of love, the pure love coming from God, between educator and student, between adults and youth. In this way, the relationship, while transmitting the beauty of God's love for every man and woman called to become his adoptive children in Christ (Religion), not only does not diminish reason but, on the contrary, enhances it, allowing it to understand, in faith, God's stupendous plan for creation. Having become protagonists and collaborators with God …More
The Holy Catholic Church is the instrument of GOD Who set up the educational system for the blessed countries of His created world according to all levels of education up to and including the University level. Saint John Bosco is a beautiful example as a FAITHFUL Catholic Saint whom GOD blessed to be among His servants in this endeavor of Catholic Christian education. THIS system was instrumental in building the Catholic Christian countries that formed men and women of exceptional character and political statesmen who were righteous, and which presently has been replaced with so called "leaders" who are corrupt and perverted servants of satan; in addition, these same types of "leaders" are also those who now masquerade as a Catholic hierarchy and prelates, but they are apostates and heretics who reveal themselves to be corrupt and perverted cesspools of impurity as our BLESSED MOTHER warned us about. The Catholic Christian system is now the sleeping giant of a GOD-LOVING, GOD- FEARING …More

On January 19, 2026, Timothy Flanders published an article at OnePeterFive, the website that he serves as Editor-in-Chief. In it, Flanders provides readers with a list of what he calls, “Non-Negotiables of the Trad Movement,” which he describes as “the common denominators which unite all those who call themselves ‘traditional Catholics.’” According to Flanders, the category known as “traditional Catholic” can be further broken down into various “clans,” each of which diverge from the others on certain philosophical and theological matters. Flanders mentions the existence of traditional Catholic clans several times in the article, an idea presumably inspired by the valiant efforts of Michael J. Matt, Publisher of the nation’s oldest… Regardless of his inspiration, the truth of the matter is that there’s no such thing as a “traditional Catholic,” much less any “clans” among them, no more than there is such a thing as a “Christian Catholic” as opposed to a non-Christian Catholic …

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.

JOHN (“DON”) BOSCO’S VISION OF THE TWO COLUMNS Interpretation of St. John Bosco’s Vision of the Two Columns in Catholic Tradition St. John Bosco’s Vision of the Two Columns, recounted in 1862, is a powerful prophetic dream deeply embedded in Catholic spiritual tradition. It symbolizes the Church’s endurance through spiritual warfare, anchored by two essential pillars: the Eucharist and devotion to Mary. Symbolism of the Two Columns The Eucharist – “Salus Credentium” (Salvation of Believers) The taller, sturdier column crowned with a Host represents the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the "source and summit of the Christian life" (Lumen Gentium, 11). meaning of Salus Credentium in Catholicism The Church in Peril and the Role of the Pope The Barque of Peter (the Church) is under relentless attack from a fleet symbolizing heresy, secularism, moral …More
