Catholic Marriages in the USA Have Declined by 60% Since 2000

Catholic marriages dropped from approximately 267,000 in 2000 to 111,718 in 2024 — a decline of almost 60%, according to data reported by EWTN News on 31 January from the Official Catholic Directory.
Compared with 1970, when there were around 426,000 Catholic weddings, today's figures show a decline of around 75%, despite the growth in the Catholic population.
This phenomenon has been evident for decades. A similar headline was published in June 2011 when a study by Our Sunday Visitor found that the number of weddings celebrated in American Catholic churches had dropped by 60%. At that time, there was 'a shift from 8.6 marriages per 1,000 US Catholics in 1972 to 2.6 marriages per 1,000 Catholics in 2010'.

Divorce, birth control, the sexual revolution, and later on abortion have contributed to this. The new code of canon law put the nail in the coffin.

The Crosses that God Sends Us are Very Precious and Highly Desirable!
Posted on January 26, 2026 by Catholic Candle

The Crosses that God Sends Us are Very Precious and Highly Desirable! - Catholic Candle

Our life on earth is a “vale of tears”. We know this. In the Hail Holy Queen prayer (the Salve Regina), we pray, addressing our Dear Mother Mary: “to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears”.
So, we must expect Crosses.
In fact, we must expect God to send us Crosses every day.
Not only that, we must not simply tolerate the Crosses that are being placed on our shoulder but we must actively grasp those Crosses that God sends to us.
Here is one way Our Lord teaches us this truth:
If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.1
So, Crosses are inevitable. However, Crosses are truly a great gift from God and are more precious than we can fully understand! As we will see below, God sends Crosses to us for our benefit and to help us. We should rejoice in this help!
In St. John’s Gospel, Our Lord gives the parable of the vine, the husbandman, and the branches. Here are Our Lord’s words:
I am the …

Leo XIV Reverses Francis’s Housing Restrictions for Cardinals

Pope Leo XIV has restored free Vatican housing for cardinals and senior Curia officials. This information was leaked via IlGiornale.it today, with the article framing it as a “clear break” with Francis’ policy.
The new decree, which will come into force in February, abolishes the rescript of 13 February 2023. It had eliminated free or subsidised accommodation for cardinals, heads of dicasteries, presidents and serving secretaries.
Leo XIV is trying to signal a change in direction from Francis by using secondary details such as clothing and money, while appointing the same types of bishops and personnel as Francis.

Quote from article: "Leo XIV is trying to signal a change in direction from Francis by using secondary details." emphasis added. IOW, crumbs for the traditionalists. But the attack on the Deposit of Faith continues apace.

Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
You said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it′s you that's threatening me
You can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we′re living in gangster time
Can't interrupt while I′m talking (don't interrupt me while I′m talking)
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
That catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won′t make me an overnight star
Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dare dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time
Gangsters. The Specials.

French Senate rejects assisted dying, adopts palliative care

On January 28, the French Senate rejected the assisted dying bill, which will return to the National Assembly, and adopted a law promoting palliative care.
After more than a year of debates, multiple consultations, and delays due to political uncertainties, the
French Senate rejected the proposed law on assisted dying. The bill will ultimately be sent back to the National Assembly. Senators rejected the text by 181 votes to 122. Immediately afterwards, the Senate voted 307 to 17 in favor of the bill on palliative care.
The bill on the “right to assisted dying,” as drafted by the National Assembly, would have allowed adults of "sound mind" to resort to medical assistance in dying under certain circumstances: they would have to be suffering from a serious and incurable condition that is life-threatening in the short or medium term, and experiencing physical or psychological pain that is considered very resistant to treatment.
This assistance would have taken two forms: self-…

pmfji I was wondering if you are capable for just a few minutes to step back and think about something. Can you do this?
There are millions of muslims in Minn. Millions who stole billions of dollars from the government. You know about this right?
Then ask yourself why hasn't thousands at least been arrested? Why are only white and Hispanics the only ones? Why are only working families being arrested. Why are those already int he process of getting their citizenship arrested or killed and deported or in jail? Why is it I DON'T SEE ANY OF THE MUSLIMS being arrested by the thousands or millions!?!
Now sit back and think about those things please.
Millions of illegal muslims go free. White and Hispanics even black Americans arrested, killed and deported and jailed. Don't you know the difference between a protest and a riot yet? I posted the difference on another post which was not mine. Search and look at the difference. Then lets see you laugh at my posts and others. We show truth and some …ད་རུང་།

Norwegian Crown Princess Under Fire for Being Featured in Hundreds of New Epstein Files, While Her Son Is on Trial Accused of Raping Four Women – Allah's Willing Executioners

Norway Crown Princess Mette-Marit and her son Marius Borg Hoiby.Screenshot X
The Princess is apologizing for her close Epstein ties, just as her son is on trial for rape.
The royal family in Norway is reeling with the repercussion of the latest – and probably last – document release on the Epstein files.
The three and a half million additional documents were
released by the DOJ pursuant to the approval of the House Resolution 4405, the ‘Epstein Files Transparency Act’.
The released files cast a very negative light on Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
DPA reported:
“According to media reports on Saturday, the 52-year-old is mentioned several hundred times in the documents published by the US Department of Justice on Friday. It became known years ago that Mette-Marit had contact with Epstein.”
A visit to Epstein’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2013, is creating waves, as the Royal Palace confirmed that Mette-Marit had ‘borrowed Epstein’s house’ through a mutual friend, staying …

"Josete" Has Finally Been Replaced - But Only After Public Homosexual Scandal

The Instituto Teológico a Distancia (ITD) has a new director following José ("Josete") Castro Cea's departure. On 30 January, ElConfidencialDigital.com reported that Cardinal José Cobo, the pro-homosexual Archbishop of Madrid, had appointed José Ángel Agejas Esteban, a layman, to the post.
Josete was removed as director of the Institute and dismissed as parish priest of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Madrid. Infovaticana.com had published in September 2025 a video of him performing in a comedy show bragging about his homosex concubine.
The new director is not a theologian, but a professor of ethics and deontology at the Faculty of Communication of the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria.
The Archdiocese of Madrid has neither confirmed nor denied whether a canonical investigation against Josete is underway. Considered a close friend of Cardinal Cobo, Josete currently has no pastoral assignment. In December, he completed a course in artificial intelligence for business at the …ད་རུང་།

Michael Parenti On Being Called A "Conspiracy Theorist."
The term "Conspiracy Theorist", is often used as a pejorative to discredit dissenting analyses and silence debate, implying the speaker is irrational, paranoid, gullible or lacking intelligence, which damages their credibility and isolates them from the mainstream. Dissenting voices are framed as "anti-authority", reinforcing the idea that the official explanation is the only valid one, dismissing legitimate concerns.
