The setting of the date of 1960 for the opening of the third part of the secret of Fatima is a central fact, attested by the Archives of the Diocese of Leiria. Sister Lucie wrote this text in April 1944, on the explicit order of her bishop, and placed it in a sealed envelope. This envelope bears the indication that it should be opened at the latest in 1960, an indication confirmed by Bishop João Venâncio in several testimonies of the 1950s. In a letter from 1955, preserved in the Archives of the Holy Office, Sister Lucie states that the secret should be known in 1960 because “then it will be clearer”. We are under Pius XII and it speaks neither of a change of pope, nor of a breach of legitimacy, nor of a judgment against Roman authority. This clarification excludes any interpretation that the date was chosen to denounce a future pope. It is fundamental to remember that, in the logic of the apparitions, this date is not a human initiative but an indication received and transmitted under …More
As the Archdiocese of Dubuque finalizes its "Journey in Faith" plan, Catholics in northeast Iowa are grappling with parish consolidations, fewer weekend Mass sites, and a shift toward evangelism amid priest shortages and declining attendance.
The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God January 1 – Feast of Mary, Mother of God Beloved in the Lord, let us lift our minds to the glorious Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, in whom the mercy of the Most High has wrought a wonder beyond all human understanding. In the beginning, the Creator fashioned man and woman in His image, to be fruitful, holy, and obedient, living in harmony with His will. In that first paradise, marriage and the lusts of the flesh were not yet needed, for man and woman were to bear fruit in virtue, in obedience, and in communion with God. The Fall brought corruption; the desires of the flesh entered, and marriage was permitted as a concession to human weakness (Genesis 3:16). But behold the Virgin Mary, the New Eve, who, in humility and obedience, restores what was lost. She bears the New Adam, our Lord Jesus Christ, yet remains ever-virgin. Her fruitfulness is not of the flesh, but of the Spirit, producing the salvation of the world and the spiritual children of the …More

A 1987 interview with Archbishop Lefebvre, which reveals his mind prior to the 1988 consecrations. "Today however, it is the Faith itself which is at stake. I sense that the ‘conciliar’ Church changes and places the very centre of the Catholic Faith in danger. For this reason obedience is no longer possible; for even the Pope does not have the power to change the Faith, he is but a servant of the Faith. To accept Religious Liberty, Ecumenism, the Conciliar Reforms, would appear to me to be contributing to the ‘auto-demolition’ of the Church. In conscience, that is not possible for me. The Liberalism of the Pope is destroying the Catholic Faith from within." “If it is my duty, I will consecrate bishops”
« Marie est le vase et le tabernacle qui renferme tous les mystères. Tout ce qui était caché aux générations précédentes lui a été révélé. Plus encore, la plupart des merveilles du plan divin du salut dépendaient d'elle. » Saint Grégoire le Thaumaturge
I posted this before but cannot be overstated: "Mary is the vessel and tabernacle containing all mysteries. All that was hidden from preceding generations was made know to her. Even more, most of the wonders of the Divine plan of salvation depended on her." Saint Gregory the Wonderworker
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Dec 31, 2025 As the year 2025 comes to an end, so does my career as editor of Catholic World News. I am retiring from the daily-news business, effective January 1. CWN was born during the height of the “dot.com” era. Dozens of online enterprises sprang up in the 1990s, made sensational claims, earned millions for their founders, and then disappeared without a trace, never having produced a saleable product. Thirty-odd years later, little CWN is still chugging along, providing reliable headline news coverage for thousands of readers every weekday. But beginning this week, CWN will be chugging along without me. Thirty years is a long time to plow through news releases, write up stories, check sources, and read Vatican news releases every day. Although I still love my work, and feel the urge to keep writing, I also recognize a need to step away from the daily grind and work on my own projects, on my own schedule. As I bow out, I owe a debt …
Puts Make-Up On, Then Ignored Ukraine's Desperate Questions In Meeting? New details are raising eyebrows about Trump’s defense chief and a critical Ukraine meeting. Reports suggest Pete Hegseth focused on optics — even applying make-up — before a high-stakes encounter, then failed to give Ukraine clear answers as the war with Russia grinds on. As Kyiv pressed for honesty on U.S. military support, silence and nods reportedly replaced commitments. Critics say the moment exposes deeper questions about leadership, priorities, and America’s direction on Ukraine under Trump’s watch. Hindustan Times A New York Timesdeep dive alleges that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth donned makeup for a February meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart during which he seemed much more concerned with his appearance than policy. The Times published a comprehensive story about the Trump administration’s handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on Tuesday in which it suggested that Hegseth began his tenure …More
Russia's retaliation over Ukraine's attempt to take out Vladimir Putin on his presidential compound will be BRUTAL says Danny Haiphong, who breaks the devastating reality no one is talking about: Oreshnik missiles are not only deployed but key sources are indicating that its use is very much in play. Watch until the end. What Ukraine tried to hit was not just the targeting of the Residence but a special facility of the Russian Federation. Designed to control the armed forces of the Russian Federation in the even of a nuclear war. So it was if they attacked Air Force One. It's an entire city with external structures and underground facilities and all kinds of communicating nodes. A strike on the control center of the nuclear triad of the armed forces of the Russian Federation during a bloody nuclear war. Russia's Oreshnik Missiles will DESTROY Ukraine Over Decapitation Attack, Trump SHOCKED

The Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of Leo XIV has dismissed Monsignor Marco Agostini, reports SilereNonPossum.com. The priest from Verona also celebrates Mass in the Roman Rite and has taken part in traditional pilgrimages. The decision was taken following the publication of a video in which Monsignor Agostini, referring to the Roman Curia and the College of Cardinals, used the term “culattoni” (a derogatory slur meaning “faggots”).
