Pope Leo XIV sent a written message to the Italian anti-Church newspaper La Repubblica to mark its 50th anniversary. It was founded by the atheist Eugenio Scalfari (1924–2022) and was Pope Francis’ house paper. Historically La Repubblica was one of Italy’s largest daily newspapers, with peak print circulation in the late 1990s and 2000s, average daily sales of about 500,000 copies. Comparative data show La Repubblica being among the biggest losers in print over a decade. Mid-2025 reporting suggested an average daily sale slipping below 100,000. The message of Leo XIV was addressed to the paper’s editor, Mario Orfeo, and was published by the newspaper. Leo XIV praised what he believes is “independent journalism”. Then, he managed to mix the words “journalism” and “integrity” in one sentence: “Even amid diversity of opinions, points of view, and cultures, the press must always act with transparency and integrity.” At least, Leo XIV doubled down on press freedom, calling it essential …ច្រើន
The Greek dictionary defines pharmakeia as: “witchcraft, magic, the use of spells and potions of magic, often involving drugs–a magic spell. It is a fact that witchcraft and magic in the Greek world often involved the use of drugs–either by the witch or the one on whom the magic is worked. The Greek word pharmakeia is used in Galatians 5:20 [Greek language]. However, if you think that this word and its derivatives [pharmacy, pharmaceutical, etc.] means “the use of or the administrating of drugs” then you were misinformed. The word is used by those minions of satan involved in the ''high places'' because they know what they are doing, and they fully intend to honor satan whom they follow as their god.
Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś said that the Polish wording of the Good Friday prayer for Jews had been changed 2022 because the previous text was 'so dramatically untrue'. He spoke about the Novus Ordo and not the prayer in the old liturgy. The Cardinal made these remarks during a January press conference held to present the 29th annual Day of Judaism in the Catholic Church in Poland on 15 January. Cardinal Ryś was speaking in his capacity as Chairman of the Committee of the Polish Bishops’ Conference for Dialogue with Judaism. Cardinal Ryś is one of the most liberal bishops in Poland and Leo XIV promoted him to Archbishop of Kraków on 26 November. He added that the version pre-2022 contained teachings that were "if not heretical, then at least scandalous". The change had been introduced despite the fact that the final Polish edition of another new missal had not yet been published. This was possible, Cardinal Ryś said, because the Dicastery for Divine Worship, led by Cardinal Arthur Roche, …ច្រើន

1st book of Samuel 8,4-7.10-22a. All the elders of Israel came in a body to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, "Now that you are old, and your sons do not follow your example, appoint a king over us, as other nations have, to judge us." Samuel was displeased when they asked for a king to judge them. He prayed to the LORD, however, who said in answer: "Grant the people's every request. It is not you they reject, they are rejecting me as their king. Samuel delivered the message of the LORD in full to those who were asking him for a king. He told them: "The rights of the king who will rule you will be as follows: He will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and horses, and they will run before his chariot. He will also appoint from among them his commanders of groups of a thousand and of a hundred soldiers. He will set them to do his plowing and his harvesting, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will use your daughters as ointment-makers, as …ច្រើន

“CHAPTER XVII ~ Pains of Purgatory — Blessed Quinziani — The Emperor Maurice. In the Life of Blessed Stephana Quinziani, a Dominican nun, mention is made of a sister named Paula, who died at the convent of Mantua, after a long life of eminent virtue. The body was carried to the church and placed uncovered in the choir among the Religious. During the recitation of the Office, Blessed Quinziani knelt near the bier, recommending to God the deceased Religious, who had been very dear to her. Suddenly the latter let fall the crucifix, which had been placed between her hands, extended the left arm, seized the right hand of Blessed Quinziani, and pressed it tightly, as a poor patient in the burning heat of fever would ask the assistance of a friend. She held it for a considerable time, and then, withdrawing her arm, sank back lifeless into the coffin. The Religious, astonished at this prodigy, asked an explanation of the Blessed Sister. She replied that, whilst the deceased pressed her hand,…ច្រើន
"He was taken, together with his wife, five of his sons, and three daughters — that is to say, his entire family with the exception of his eldest son, whom he bad already caused to be crowned Emperor, and who, thus far, had escaped the tyrant. Maurice and his five sons were unmercifully slaughtered near Chalcedon. The carnage began with the youngest of the princes, who was put to death before the eyes of the unfortunate father, without uttering a word of complaint."
The Archdiocese of Madrid promotes the so-called Convivium process, an official diocesan consultation involving clergy, parishes, religious communities and lay groups in Madrid, Spain. According to InfoVaticana.com, the process was developed through consultation phases in 2024 and 2025, and is comparable with the German Synod. The Archdiocese of Madrid is currently led by the pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo. Preparations have begun for the first Convivium-named Presbyteral Assembly, which is scheduled to take place in Madrid on 9–10 February 2026. The archdiocese has recently distributed official working documents synthesising over 800 pages of submissions from parish pastoral councils, clergy, consecrated life and other ecclesial groups. The archdiocesan synthesis includes a subsection labelled 'Peculiar Proposals'. This subsection cites contributions from groups who advocate optional priestly celibacy and propose a non-lifelong or 'temporary' priesthood. They also refer to 'future …ច្រើន

NYTIMES: We Are the Bystanders This Time Jan. 15, 2026 By Shalom Auslander Mr. Auslander is the author of the newsletter Fetal Position and the book “Feh: a Memoir.” nytimes.com/…inion/ice-shooting-germany- … One summer day, years ago, I chanced upon the diary of a German soldier from the early 1940s in a flea market in New York City. It was buried among a bunch of other random items — hat blocks, Matchbox cars, an Underwood typewriter. There was so much I might have missed it, but I am Jewish; books adorned with eagles perched on swastikas tend to catch my eye. It was a small notebook, filled with German writing. Though I don’t speak German, I was able to make out the months — Februar, März, April — and the year. The black-and-white photographs of the soldier’s life, tucked into the yellowing pages, were what interested me most: a photo of the beaming young diarist in his sharp new uniform, a rifle slung over his shoulder; one with his fellow soldiers in a countryside somewhere on …ច្រើន

Die Clintons würden lieber ein Jahr Gefängnis riskieren, als über ihre Beziehung zu Epstein auszusagen. Und es ist plötzlich still geworden, von den Demokraten, den Massenmedien und den Anti-Trumpern. Warum? Weil sie sich nicht wirklich um die Opfer oder um Gerechtigkeit kümmern. Sie wollten nur Trump erwischen. Wenn es andersherum wäre und Trump oder einer seiner Verbündeten vorgeladen würde, über Epstein auszusagen, und er sich weigern würde, würden sie vor Wut schäumen. Es würde überall darüber berichtet, du würdest Benachrichtigungen auf deinem Handy bekommen, die Behauptungen von Vertuschung würden sich rasant verbreiten und das Internet wäre in Aufruhr. Aber wenn ein ehemaliger demokratischer Präsident und ein ehemalige linke Präsidentschaftskandidatin es tun, ist plötzlich niemand mehr interessiert. Dieselben Leute, die den ganzen Tag über die Epstein-Akten gejammert haben, sind überhaupt nicht daran interessiert. Es liegt daran, dass sie wissen, dass Epstein ein demokratischer …ច្រើន
Why God Gives You Gifts God’s gifts are for the benefit of others, not just ourselves. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, our callings are paths to sainthood, and we should use our gifts humbly and in accordance with God’s will.

Padre Guilherme Peixoto performed in a Beirut nightclub: On 10 January, Rev Guilherme Peixoto presided over a Eucharist at the University of the Holy Spirit of Kaslik, Lebanon. Later that night, he performed a DJ set at AHM, a Beirut nightclub. A legal complaint filed on 4 January by a group including clergy sought to cancel the concert, citing moral concerns. The petition was rejected by a judge on 9 January. The event proceeded after the venue announced that no religious symbols would be displayed and that no clerical attire would be worn. The performance lasted about two and a half hours and drew roughly 2,000 attendees. The priest played 1990s techno music with deep bass that was repetitive and boring, interspersed with very brief interludes of bells, hints of Gloria and Alleluia, and fragments of symphonic music. Images flashed across the screens: a large white dove, Pope John Paul II, and - of course - a rainbow.
A recent performance in Beirut of Father Guilherme Peixoto sparked opposition from some Christians in Lebanon. “Not all need to like what I’m doing, but they need to respect. It’s music to bring the church outside of the church,” he said.
Yet they still don't care. It's like they live to see every scandal there is. That it's the first thing they seek out. I don't care to see any of it.

MartyredFranciscans of Morocco - January 16 Acursies Adjute Berardes Otto Peter Berard, Otho, Peter, Accursius and Adjutus: the five "true Friars Minor", as St. Francis of Assisi referred to them. They were the first missionaries sent by Francis to the lands of the Saracens. Leaving Assisi, in 1219 they crossed Coimbra, where they had the opportunity to meet the then Fernando de Bulhões, the future Saint Antônio. The cloister of the Monastery of Santa Cruz witnessed this meeting, whose feast is celebrated on January 16. Br DOMINGOS DO CASAL MARTINS, ofm Vicar Provincial Friars Minor Portugal "The example of this martyrdom motivated the Franciscan vocation of St. Anthony, who lived here in this convent and certainly knew these 5 friars who passed through here on their way to Morocco.
