The most difficult church to access

At an altitude of 2,580 metres (8,500 feet) and located inside a towering sandstone spire the Abuna Yemata Guh church has to be the hardest and most dangerous church to reach.
The church is in the Gheralta Mountains of Tigray in northern Ethiopia. A huge vertical sandstone structure shoots straight up 2,580 metres and like a miracle inside that rock one finds a Christian church. No doubt the hardest to access on the planet.
The church takes its name from one of the nine saints who came to Ethiopia from Rome, Constantinople and Syria during the 5th and 6th centuries. The saints came to the region as missionaries to bring Christianity. They were also responsible for building monasteries and translated the Bible into Ge'ez, the old language of Ethiopia.
Abuna Yemata Guh is one of the oldest churches in Ethiopia, and its founder worked to help carve the church into what is the highest sandstone spire in the area.
The Church has beautiful mural paintings on its walls, domes and columns that …

In Sweden as in Minnesota, Somali Welfare Fraud – The real taboo cause of the fraud epidemic – Allah's Willing Executioners

Swedish investigators have just uncovered that Somali immigrants have committed welfare fraud, with most of nearly $100 million dollars siphoned off, some of it used to pay for visits to Thai sex clubs, stays in luxury hotels abroad, and political party membership fees. And still worse, some of that money went to support Islamic jihad groups in Somalia. More on this latest scandal involving Somali immigrants and welfare fraud can be found here: “Somali Immigrant Welfare Scams Uncovered in Minnesota–and Sweden,” by Zolta Győri, European Conservative, January 2, 2026:
More than one billion Swedish kronor (€92.4 million) in taxpayer funds intended for preschools and schools have been siphoned off through an Islamist-affiliated welfare fraud network in Sweden. A recent probe found that funds meant to support Sweden’s education system were diverted through a network of independent schools allegedly linked to radical Islamist activity.
The findings followed a police raid on an apartment …

Denmark Forcibly Sterilized Greenlandic Women - C-Fam

WASHINGTON, D.C. January 23 (C-Fam) Denmark has long advocated for contraception and abortion as ways to empower women. In their own territories, however, Denmark has used contraceptives to abuse and disempower women and girls.
Even as President Donald Trump continues to talk about the U.S. acquiring Greenland, which is controlled by Denmark, many women living there have shared their stories about being forcibly sterilized by Danish health authorities as part of a multi-decade population control program.
A
report was published last September documenting the stories of over 350 women and girls who were given hormonal contraceptive injections or had intrauterine devices (IUDs) inserted without their consent—and in some cases, even without their knowledge.
In addition to the resulting loss of fertility, many women also suffered physical side effects from the IUDs. Amarok Petersen discovered the device had been inserted when she was only thirteen, after seeking medical help for severe …

John L. Allen Jr.: A life remembered in gratitude

Friends, colleagues, and regular Crux readers will know that my husband, John L. Allen Jr., has been battling cancer for some time, and has largely been absent from the site this year as he underwent treatment and fought for recovery.
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I convey, nearly four years after his diagnosis, that John lost his battle with cancer on Thursday, January 22, 2026, and is now resting in the arms of God, free from the pain and discomfort that he lived with for so long.
While words often fail in these moments, I want to offer a few words of thanks:
First, to our friends and community who have accompanied us throughout this journey, especially the past year. You have supported us with the sacraments, prayers, visits, meals, advice, rides to and from the hospital for treatment, and no small amount of chocolate and wine, but most importantly, with your presence, including a call system to ensure that I wasn’t alone at the end. We simply could not have gotten …

Leftist women and their Romper Room mentality: Whether it’s the newest entrant into the Star Trek world or a day in court, leftist women, with their relentless faux “mommy-ness” demean our world.

Leftist women and their Romper Room mentality

One of my earliest memories dates to when I was three or, at most, four. Every day, I was glued to our black-and-white TV watching Romper Room, a television show for preschoolers. Miss Nancy opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and then conducted a 30-minute preschool class.
This is what Miss Nancy was like back in the 1960s:
It’s very sweet, very loving, very patriotic, and very appropriate for the 3-5-year-old set.
But what happens when an entire political party is taken over by a horde of Miss Nancys? And worse, what happens when those Miss Nancys don’t focus their energy on raising normal, patriotic children (indeed, they want fewer children in the world, and think infanticide through abortion is brilliant), and instead want to use their warped maternal longings to scold and dominate the world?
Well, to begin with, you have Holly Hunter in the new Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which is being roundly castigated as the worst show ever in a swiftly declining franchise. Once, Starfleet …

Catholic Decline in Latin America - Paganism Flourishes

The share of adults identifying as Catholic has declined sharply across much of Latin America over the past decade. The number of people with no religious affiliation has risen, according to a January 21 Pew Research Center report. This marks a shift in a region where more than 90% of people were Catholic around 1900.
The report, Catholicism Has Declined in Latin America Over the Past Decade is based on surveys of more than 6,200 adults in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru conducted in spring 2024. Comparing the results with a similar 2013–14 survey, Pew found that the Catholic share fell by at least 9 percentage points in all six countries.
Today, Catholics make up 46% of adults in Brazil and Chile, 58% in Argentina, 60% in Colombia, and 67% in both Mexico and Peru. A decade ago, all six countries had Catholic majorities of roughly six-in-ten or more adults.

In Kurmin Wali, Kaduna State, Nigeria, gunmen attacked three churches during Sunday services on January 18, and kidnapped about 177 Christians. Although residents reported the abductions immediately, Nigerian authorities first denied they occurred. After public pressure, police confirmed the kidnappings and said security forces were deployed to find the victims.

Nigerian police have CONFIRMED that 177 Christians were KIDNAPPED from their churches last weekend .The confirmation comes after the police originally DENIED that the kidnappings had occurred. They have since denied the denial, calling it a 'measured response'

AFRICA/NIGERIA - Kidnapping of 177 Christians confirmed:

AFRICA/NIGERIA - Kidnapping of 177 Christians confirmed: "No Catholics among those kidnapped"
Wednesday, 21 January 2026
Abuja (Agenzia Fides) – Nigerian authorities have confirmed the mass kidnapping of nearly 200 faithful from several churches on Sunday, January 18, in Kurmin Wali, in the Local Government Area of Kajuru in the State of Kaduna. After initially denying the incident vehemently (see Fides, 20/1/2026), federal police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin admitted that the initial denial by Kaduna State authorities was aimed at "avoiding unnecessary panic while the facts were being verified." "These statements, which have since been widely misunderstood, did not constitute a denial of the incident, but rather a considered response pending confirmation of the details on the ground, including the identities and number of those involved," the police spokesman added. “Subsequent checks by law enforcement and intelligence sources have confirmed that the incident did indeed occur.”

Leo XIV Appoints Archbishop, Enemy of the Latin Mass, as Secretary of Congregation for Clergy

Leo XIV today appointed Monsignor Carlo Roberto Maria Redaelli, 69, until now Archbishop of Gorizia, Italy, as Secretary of the Dicastery for the Clergy.
Carlo Roberto Maria Redaelli (born 1956 in Milan) is a canon lawyer who served for many years in the Archdiocese of Milan before becoming Archbishop of Gorizia in 2012. He holds a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical Gregorian University, where he specialized in the nature of Church law in the post–Vatican II period.
Promoting Homosexuality
In June 2017, in Staranzano, a small town in the Diocese of Gorizia, a leader of the Catholic Scout movement (AGESCI) entered into a homosexual civil union.
The parish priest, Don Francesco Fragiacomo, stated that, as a consequence of this choice, he could no longer retain his role as a Catholic educator.
Archbishop Redaelli intervened publicly and stabbed the priest in the back.
The anti-Catholic slogans of Monsignor Redaelli were: One must seek the “grace present in every situation” and …More

Chers frères et sœurs,
La 34e Journée Mondiale du Malade sera célébrée solennellement à Chiclayo, au Pérou, le 11 février 2026. C’est pourquoi j’ai voulu reproposer l’image du bon Samaritain, toujours actuelle et nécessaire pour redécouvrir la beauté de la charité et la dimension sociale de la compassion, afin d’attirer l’attention sur les nécessiteux et les personnes qui souffrent, comme sont les malades.
Nous avons tous entendu et lu ce texte émouvant de saint Luc (cf. Lc 10, 25-37). Un docteur de la Loi demande à Jésus qui est le prochain à aimer. Celui-ci répond en racontant une histoire : un homme qui voyageait de Jérusalem à Jéricho fut attaqué par des voleurs et laissé pour mort. Un prêtre et un lévite passèrent leur chemin, mais un Samaritain eut pitié de lui, banda ses blessures, l’emmena dans une auberge et paya pour qu’on s’occupe de lui. J’ai souhaité proposer une réflexion sur ce passage biblique, avec …
