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 …
Requiescat in pace Vaticanist John L. Allen, 61, has passed away after a battle with cancer. He had gifted writing skills and was considered closely attuned to the Francis-era Vatican.

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.
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 …

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.

Message du pape Léon XIV pour la 34e Journée … 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 …More
