Accusations of deception against Patriarch Bartholomew within the clergy largely stem from actions related to the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and alleged inconsistencies in his exercise of authority. Specific examples cited by critics (primarily from the Russian Orthodox Church and other dissenting voices) include: Deception regarding the OCU's autocephaly: Critics claim Patriarch Bartholomew assured other Orthodox leaders, including Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, that granting autocephaly to the Ukrainian Church was impossible, only to proceed with it later in an "uncanonical fashion". The statute of the OCU is also alleged to have been adopted through deception. Acceptance of schismatics: He is accused of receiving defrocked and anathematized schismatics (clergy from the former UOC-KP and UAOC) back into communion without genuine repentance or consensus from other churches, which critics argue violated canonical order. Inconsistency on Church unity: Critics point …More
Romanian Orthodox complaints against Patriarch Bartholomew center on his strong ecumenism, particularly fostering dialogue with the Vatican, which critics see as heresy and a threat to Orthodox purity; his controversial granting of autocephaly (self-governance) to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), seen as undermining canonical order; and his perceived assertion of undue authority, straining relations with other autocephalous churches like the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). While the Romanian Church officially engages with Bartholomew, some within Romania express concern over his direction, viewing his actions as divisive rather than unifying Modernization & Heresy: Some traditionalists perceive Bartholomew's actions as a drift towards modernization and a dilution of Orthodoxy, contrasting with their view of maintaining strict traditional adherence, according to OrthoChristian.Com
Sex abuse is selectively and ideologically treated in public debate, writes Archbishop Jesús Sanz Montes of Oviedo, Spain, on Abc.es on January 11. While condemning homosexual abuse cases within the Catholic Church, he argues that focusing almost exclusively on ecclesial cases risks obscuring the true scope of a crime that affects society as a whole. Referring to official reports, Archbishop Sanz Montes emphasizes that the majority of abuse cases occur in non-religious contexts: within families, schools, sports organizations, residential care facilities, and other civil institutions. According to Archbishop Sanz Montes, if the true goal is justice for all victims, then governments and public institutions should assume responsibility for abuses that occurred under their oversight or within their spheres of competence. Furthermore, the Archbishop argues that a society that trivializes sexuality, weakens moral reference points, and allows unrestricted access to harmful material - such as …More
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service issued a rare public attack on Greek Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople. He has been accused of undermining Orthodox unity and cooperating with Western intelligence services. The statement was published on the official website of the Sluschba Wneschnei Raswedki (SVR), a successor of the KGB. It marks a sharp escalation in the long-running conflict between Moscow and Constantinople. In theological language without modern precedent for a state intelligence body, the SVR referred to Bartholomew as the “Antichrist in a cassock”,” accusing him of deliberately fostering schism within global Orthodoxy. The agency alleged that the Patriarch seeks to weaken the Russian Orthodox Church by dismantling jurisdictions historically linked to Moscow and replacing them with structures dependent on the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople. Behind the accusation lies Bartholomew’s 2019 decision to grant autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. That …More
Bartholomew has a long history of deception, amongst the Clergy........Sounds just like Rome Patriarch Bartholomew proposes an entirely new approach – simply to “concelebrate together.” In other words, he effectively proposes to disregard canonical problems altogether. This is not a solution to the problem; it is an attempt to suppress it through silence. the problem exists – but we will not resolve it. Why? Because any concrete solution – whether the canonical recognition of those ordinations as unquestionably valid, or the re-ordination of schismatics (which would in fact amount to a first ordination) – would generate new and even more serious problems. A diplomatic ultimatum? What was actually said …
We should be increasingly aware from these developments that historical religious schisms are related to monetized orders. When the See of Peter reminds the world that his reign is over the Sacramental and moral order FIRST, the temptations for these schism diminishes.
Gabrielle M. Etzel reported for the Washington Examiner on January 8, 2026 that US Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary Jim O’Neill stated in an exclusive interview that Canada’s permissive physician-assisted suicide program has crossed ethical boundaries by how it has increased deceased organ donation rates through MAiD. O’Neill also told the Washington Examiner that he was disturbed to learn that Canada’s physician-assisted suicide program, operating under the label Medical Aid in Dying, has enabled it to become a world leader in organ transplant policy from deceased donors.

A Spanish court has ordered the eviction of the Poor Clares in the Monastery of Santa Clara in Belorado. February 10 is the date for a forced removal if the nuns do not leave voluntarily. The ruling was issued by the Court of First Instance in Briviesca, which approved the provisional enforcement of an earlier judgment. The court's decision cannot be appealed. Any appeal would not suspend the enforcement of the order. The property is currently under the legal administration of Archbishop Mario Iceta of Burgos. In recent years, the Clarisse nuns of Belorado had joined different sedevacantist sects and more and more sisters left. #newsOepqnnneej
Breaking News Gut Cure: How to restore your microbiome so your body can do what it was designed to do Your gut microbiome acts as a command centre for digestion, immunity, metabolism and brain health; when microbial diversity drops, symptoms often go beyond digestion. Short-chain fatty acids (“SCFAs”), especially butyrate, are essential compounds made by healthy gut bacteria that help repair your gut lining, calm inflammation, stabilise blood sugar and support mental clarity. Modern diets heavy in seed oils (including linoleic acid), emulsifiers and ultra-processed foods disrupt beneficial bacteria and reduce butyrate production, leaving your gut undernourished even if you eat “healthy” foods. Simple changes, such as replacing seed oils with stable fats like butter, ghee or coconut oil, can lower inflammation, rebalance your microbiome and help your body begin healing from the inside out.

Reports from the extraordinary consistory on January 7-8 in Rome point to significant internal disagreements. TheCatholicHerald.com cites several cardinals, most speaking anonymously. Main quotes. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Jerusalem: “Reform is not a Church language. In the Church there are no reforms. We must reflect on our mission and vocation according to the times, but faithful to the roots and to the mission of the Church.” Cardinal Frank Leo, Toronto: “I don’t think the College of Cardinals is divided at all.” Anders Arborelius, Stockholm, on liturgy: “I hope we can find a compromise.” Another Cardinal: “Some of Pope Francis’ friends spoke about a new Church and absolute change.” Conservative cardinal, anonymous: “This whole synodal style doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t understand the intelligent men who write on and on about it.” Progressive cardinal, anonymous: “Sitting around tables rather than facing leaders at the front is a brilliant sign of collegiality.” …More
This will be great. I was reminded recently that with the elevation of someone to sainthood, there should be a proliferation of graces including miracles.
He has already publicly stated that "the theology of the Church has changed." Of course, he was referring to the conciliar church, whose theology has certainly changed, meaning it is not Catholic. And since they have a different theology, the traditional Mass naturally doesn't suit them.
The Shiite religious order reigning over a constitutional government is a similar definition to a papal state. This is in contrast to the Sunni Gulf State Shiekdoms like MBS in Saudi Arabia who reigns both religiously and as president.
1 Samuel 3: 1-10.19-20 “Here I am. You called me.” Just as Samuel asked Eli if he had been called, we often ask people for information about faith. Eli turned Samuel toward the Lord and told him to say to the Lord, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” Moving from knowledge to understanding—that is what it means; it also means knowing how to listen to the Lord. Mark 1:29-39 “Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever.” Bodily fever occurs occasionally. There is also the fever that can manifest itself in the tensions between people. We can ask Jesus for liberation from the fever of body and of tensions and pressure, whether we inflict it upon ourselves or others inflict it upon us. Let’s think about this in feverary Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Public support for Monsignor Marco Agostini, the former Master of Papal Ceremonies, has emerged in Italy. He was dismissed after an audio recording was circulated in which he was allegedly heard using offensive language about members of the Roman Curia. While a microphone was unintentionally left on ahead of a Christmas greeting, he reportedly said that they are all "assholes" and "faggots". On 4 January, VeronaNews.net reported that Vito Comencini (Popolo Veneto), a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, had issued a public letter expressing solidarity with the prelate. Comencini considers the dismissal 'unjust and foolish', adding that it represents a 'worrying sign of persecution'. Neither the audio nor the dismissal has been accompanied by an official explanation from Vatican authorities. The Italian politician is aware that Monsignor Agostini had been 'targeted for some time' and claims that the alleged interception merely served as justification for his removal. Comencini links …More
