In this final phase of the so-called Synod on Synodality, 368 synodal “fathers and mothers” (yes, really!) participated, of whom 272 were bishops and 96 were non-bishops, gathering around round tables in the Paul VI Hall (a bit cringe, to be honest). According to Pope Francis and the Vatican Press Office, the Final Document is to be regarded as having the value of authentic magisterium.

Traditional Latin Mass communities are flourishing around the world with rising vocations and strong Mass attendance but their existence was ignored in the Synod on Synodality’s October assembly and final report.

When it comes to sex, the world’s mantra is basically: “Copulate because it is natural, but for God’s sake don’t do it naturally because if you do it might have natural consequences, and that’s the last thing we want.”

The great one world Democracy now taking shape should very soon acclaim by democratic vote the rule of the supreme Slavemaster, the “son of perdition” prophesied in Scripture who is Antichrist the King.

The Declaration Dignitas Infinita “on human dignity,” issued by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, signed by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández on April 2, 2024, and approved by the Holy Father ex audientia (thus, without an explicit signature), presents itself as a document examining human dignity. This document would fall under the so-called authentic magisterium of Pope Francis, meaning it constitutes teaching that, although not engaging infallibility with a definitive act, still requires, according to the Code of Canon Law, “a religious submission of the intellect and will” (CIC 752). This leaves a certain degree of freedom for theological debate and analysis.

During one of her long vigils, on the night of Thursday, November 1 to 2, 1731, the sensation of warmth suddenly intensified.

We are writing about the recently revealed official mascot figure for the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year. It is an anime figure, a form of animation that originated in Japan and has become popular with youth worldwide. The mascot figure was designed by an Italian artist whose designs are influenced by his interests in Japan, street art and graffiti. This artist is known for his public support and commercial interests in gay pride events and products. Apparently, the usual Vatican perv artist, M Rupnik, was unavailable for this project.

In his Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, Michael Davies described the difference between how orthodox Catholics and Rome’s anti-Catholics saw the 1974 Declaration:

Pope Francis has recently signed his new and fourth encyclical, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the first manifestation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque: Dilexit Nos (“He Loved Us”), dedicated to the human and divine love of the Heart of Jesus.
