The criminal trial of the Famille missionnaire de Notre-Dame (FMND), a Catholic religious community based in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier (Ardèche), opened on 19 January 2026 before the correctional court in Privas, France. Its founder and superior, Father Bernard Pinède, and the community itself are charged with “abuse of weakness” (abus de faiblesse). This French criminal offense involves the exploitation of a person’s psychological vulnerability. The hearings ran from 19 to 22 January 2026. The public prosecutor requested: - Two years suspended prison sentence for Father Bernard, - Closure of the community’s main house for one year, - A €100,000 fine. The verdict is scheduled for 24 March 2026. What the Accusations Are Based On The case stems from a 2021 preliminary investigation, triggered by complaints from five former members and a report by the government anti-cult body MIVILUDES.

"The prosecution does not allege physical violence, sexual abuse, or financial embezzlement. Instead, it focuses on alleged psychological control." They don't like it if there isn't control promoted by them.

The 2026 March for Life "Pro-lifers must see their fight not just as defending a “single issue,” but as part of a larger battle over what remains of Christian civilization." 2025 March for Life "With the grace of God, and the perseverance of thousands of pro-lifers offering up hours of prayer and sacrifices in the cold, in the rain and sometimes even in prison, this battle will be won."
January 27th - Saint of the Day: Pope Saint Vitalian A saint for the days when the Church feels like it is getting pulled apart from every direction. Meet Pope Saint Vitalian (Pope, 657–672), the quiet powerhouse who held the line with peace when theology and politics were trying to hijack the faith. Here is the wild part. An emperor actually came to Rome, worshiped at St. Peter’s, and then left the city stripped of bronze treasures, even taking bronze from the Pantheon. Saint Vitalian kept his soul steady when the world got ugly. He fought for unity without selling the truth. He dealt with major rebellion from Ravenna. He helped keep Rome and Constantinople from exploding into total rupture. And he shaped the future of Christianity in England by sending Theodore of Tarsus to lead the Church after Whitby. This saint is proof that holiness is not always loud. Sometimes it is staying faithful, calm, and firm when everyone else is losing it. Want the full …Zvimwe

It is also widely reported that ICE agents routinely train with theIsraeli Defense Forces(IDF). In recent days, some videos have appeared on TikTok claiming that some of the ICE agents deployed in U.S. cities are actual Israeli soldiers who served in the IDF. According to the FBI, victims have reported being threatened, robbed, kidnapped and even sexually assaulted by individuals posing as federal officers. Some of the incidents occurred in New York, Florida and North Carolina, the bulletin said. ICE Agents in the U.S. are Trained by Israeli …
I am sorry they murdered that man. He seemed like a very caring person the way everyone spoke of him. And some totally shocked by it all. This is the most touched I have been in a long time. Charlie Kirk hardly at all touched me like this person. I am sorry for the family and those he was looking after as well as a Nurse. Murdered all because he tried to help a woman up the monsters slammed to on the ice and cold hard ground.

MINNESOTA’S CIVIL WAR: It’s NOT about Immigration Anymore In this week's Underground, Michael explains why so many conservative influencers agree that the ICE tactics are the problem. Joe Rogan compared the tactics to those of the Gestapo, and Bill O'Reilly said that if Trump doesn't find a way to lower the temperature he's going to "lose the country." This is not a Republican vs Democrat issue, Michael argues. There is a whole lot more going on here than mere immigration enforcement. What is happening in Minnesota right now could negatively impact the entire world. Why so much outrage, where’s the Catholic Church, and what’s the connection between Minneapolis, Gaza, Greenland and Davos? TheRemnantVideo youtube.com/watch?v=XUHFcUrYTRM
Too much to report. Lies and more deceptions. ISRAEL and surveillance. I would like to remind Sheriff Hathaway that Pretti was yelling, they are going to kill me over and over and over again. And NOT once can you hear anyone shouting gun! Sheriff Hathaway said, Pretti's gun was removed immediately from Pretti. It was in the back in a holster. And i c e removed it and walked away with it. NOT as someone said they clearly saw it on the ground. So much for that. Sheriff David Hathaway : Power Without Accountability — ICE Under Scrutiny
Ongoing reform is central to the liturgy because it has cultural elements that change over time and across places, pro-homosexual Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago - an ardent enemy of the Roman Rite and a good friend of Leo XIV - wrote on ChicagoCatholic.com (January 21). He repeated the historical misrepresentations which Cardinal Arthur Roche used at the January 7–8 consistory to polemise against the Mass of all ages. For Cupich, “with the passage of time and changes in the culture, there is always a need to reform the liturgy.” Particularly compelling he found Roche's fabulation that, according to Pope Pius V, there ought to be only one rite for celebrating the Mass. [In reality, Pius V allowed all rites older than 200 years.] For Cupich - who presides over the Eucharist with Asian dragons and allows all sorts of liturgical abuses in his archdiocese - “there can only be one rite as a means of preserving the unity of the church.” Key ideological concept: “The two main takeaways in …Zvimwe

@redpilldispensrJan 24 Putin has a message for citizens of Western countries. "The truth is that the problems you are facing now are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of your own countries." "They do not think about how to improve your lives. They are obsessed with their own selfish interests and excessive profits."
"Russia will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church." Meanwhile, Russia purged out out atheistic Marxist-Leninist communism from its own.
We read from World Net Daily: "It was one week ago when anti-ICE rioters stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, to disrupt a peaceful Christian worship service, terrorizing congregants and their children. Now, what are being called 'horrifying new details' are emerging that provide an even more disturbing picture of what actually took place. Tyler O'Neil, senior editor at the Daily Signal posted on Sunday a series of excerpts from the probable cause affidavit prepared by Timothy Gerber, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations. "The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought," O'Neil began. "Agitators blocked stairs so 'parents were unable to get to their children' at Sunday School. 'One told a kid, 'Do you know your parents are Nazis, they're going to burn in hell?'" Meanwhile, anti-ICE Insurrectionists trashed a Minnesota hotel believing ICE Agents were there. See here.

01/25/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. An article appeared on ZeroHedge today: Visualizing The World’s 50 Most Powerful Militaries. The United States ranks first, with the lowest Military Power Index score and more than 1.3 million active-duty personnel. Its position reflects unmatched global reach, advanced technology, and extensive logistical capabilities. Russia and China follow closely behind. China stands out for having the largest active military manpower among the top three, with just over 2 million personnel, while Russia combines large troop numbers with extensive land and strategic capabilities. That comes as no surprise. What will be interesting is the answer to the question of which power will continue to prove powerful when the world recovers from the impending, inevitable greatest financial crisis in human history. It is not the pandemic, but precisely this impending catastrophe that represents an opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world. The Great …
I am not promoting Orthodoxy. Just a video to think about. Discover the inspiring true story of Yevovgeny Rodion, the 19-year-old Russian Orthodox soldier martyred in the First Chechen War for refusing to remove his cross and deny Christ. Beheaded on his birthday after brutal torture, he chose eternal life over compromise. Miracles continue at his grave: healings, myrrh-streaming icons, reconciliation of enemies. A modern warrior-saint whose faith echoes the early Church martyrs. For American and European Christians exploring Orthodox Christianity, this powerful video essay explores themes of unwavering devotion, the power of the Cross, and standing firm in persecution. Perfect for those seeking deeper faith inspiration in today's world. GOD seems to love the Orthodox as well as Catholics. It's seen all over, in many ways. Yevgeny Rodionov: The Modern Orthodox Martyr Who Chose Death Over Denying Christ
This young man and his companions died a horrible death. Tortured for more than 3 months. His miracles are beautiful and amazing. But the part that got me the most when you think about everything is that he and his father were both carpenters. That's what touched me the most. He deserves to be a Saint. And I can see why miracles are taking place with Icons and his grave.
Just few years earlier Jihadists in Bosnia were killing captured Croat soldiers for refusing to take off their holy Rosaries and renounce Christ. Now these Jihadists have flooded Europe. Yevgeny and such examples help to prepare us to lift up our own cross one day.
“We Are Already One And We Are Synodal” - Leo XIV: "We are one! We already are! Let us recognise it, experience it, and make it visible! My predecessor, Pope Francis, remarked that the synodal journey of the Catholic Church is and must be ecumenical, just as the ecumenical journey is synodal." Pope Leo XIV made this statement during today's Ecumenical Vespers at St Paul Outside the Walls. Various Christian representatives were present, including Metropolitan Polykarpos of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, Archbishop Khajag Barsamian of the Armenian Apostolic group, and Lay-Bishop Anthony Ball of the Anglican Communion. Pope Leo XIV wants us to “grow together in mutual knowledge of our respective synodal structures and traditions”. He added: "Let us commit ourselves to further developing ecumenical synodal practices."
"Noi siamo uno! Lo siamo già! Riconosciamolo, sperimentiamolo, manifestiamolo! Il mio amato predecessore, Papa Francesco, ha osservato che il cammino sinodale della Chiesa cattolica «è e deve essere ecumenico, così come il cammino ecumenico è sinodale» (Discorso a S.S. Mar Awa III, 19 novembre 2022). Ciò si è riflesso nelle due Assemblee del Sinodo dei Vescovi del 2023 e del 2024, caratterizzate da un profondo zelo ecumenico e arricchite dalla partecipazione di numerosi delegati fraterni."
There can be only one for sure. If we were already one then it would already be recognised experienced and visible. You wouldn’t need to be ecumenical. It’s necessary to be honest and work through the differences in the light of Christ.
