A Paris : Sainte Geneviève, Vierge.
Sainte Geneviève, patronne de Paris, naquit au village de Nanterre, vers l’an 422. C’est bien dans une vie comme la sienne que l’on reconnaît la vérité et que l’on trouve la réalisation de cette parole de saint Paul : « Dieu choisit dans ce monde les instruments les plus faibles pour confondre l’orgueil et les prétentions des hommes. » Elle était âgée de sept ans quand saint Germain, évêque d’Auxerre, traversa le village de Nanterre, où elle habitait. Éclairé par une lumière divine, le Saint discerna cette modeste enfant parmi la foule accourue sur ses pas : « Béni soit, dit-il à ses parents, le jour où cette enfant vous fut donnée : Sa naissance a été saluée par les anges, et Dieu la destine à de grandes choses. » Puis, s’adressant à la jeune enfant, il la confirma dans son désir …

Quick read on why Indonesia and the States are not so different after all!

Indonesia strongly rejects communism as its ultimate enemy. Yet, when you look closely, the way anti-communism is practiced in the country surprisingly mirrors some aspects of Stalinism: leader cults, single-story narratives, and the creation of internal enemies to maintain power.

Anti-Communism That Copies Its Enemy: The Paradox of Authoritarianism in Indonesia

Anti-Communism That Copies Its Enemy: The Paradox of Authoritarianism in Indonesia
Indonesia strongly rejects communism as its ultimate enemy. Yet, when you look closely, the way anti-communism is practiced in the country surprisingly mirrors some aspects of Stalinism: leader cults, single-story narratives, and the creation of internal enemies to maintain power.
Anti-Communism as a National Dogma

Indonesia is known for being extremely anti-communist. This narrative took root after the tragic events of 1965, when the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) was banned and thousands of its members and supporters were killed or imprisoned without trial.
In schools, media, and public discourse, communism is always portrayed as an existential threat—destroying morality, religion, and national unity. Over time, anti-communism has become almost a sacred national principle, demanding loyalty from every citizen.
When Rejection Becomes Imitation
Looking more closely, a paradox appears. In the ways …

Dans l’Octave de Noël : messe Puer natus est, Evangile et Epître de la messe de l’aurore
Comme à la Messe de l’aurore, les lectures de cette messe nous invitent à admirer avec les bergers l’Enfant-Dieu dans sa crèche. Mais les chants empruntés à la Messe du jour ouvrent de plus vastes perspectives: l’Enfant Jésus est le maître du ciel et de la terre, et le Sauveur universel.
Cette messe est omise et remplacée par celle du dimanche dans l’Octave de Noël, lorsque ce dimanche tombe précisément le 30 décembre, ou bien coïncide avec le jour même de Noël, avec la fête de saint Etienne, celle de saint Jean ou des saints Innocents.
D’autre part, si le 30 décembre est un samedi, on dit la messe assignée pour ce jour, et non pas celle du Commun de la sainte Vierge.

What We Learned in 2025

CBS Calls Kennedy Center Honors the ‘Trump Kennedy Center Honors’
The Right is pro-war.
The Left is anti-peace.
This is what we learned in 2025.
In 2019, you were stupid for doubting Fauci.
In 2025, you’re a fascist for believing in RFK Jr.
Both sides prove you should hone your discernment.
Both sides dismiss the individual as an anecdote.
This explains why Brussels sprouts taste like evil. It’s a complex flavor made from two opposing components.
1) Voting is consent to an abusive relationship with the government.
2) The experience of voting is what helps you become conscious.
Can you see the fruit? Look how much we’ve grown.
Both sides agree, “my body, my choice.”
Both sides agree the Health Secretary is a stooge.
Both sides prove the system is unworthy of your respect or fealty.
The Trump Kennedy Center
The only immoral thing you can do is perform like a monkey.
“It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating,”
said Doug Varone, for refusing to perform at the newly renamed …

thanks for share it!! my great online friend, brother @Jeffrey Ade As 2025 unfolds, we have witnessed the complete collapse of the world order we had grown accustomed to. That order somehow endured for over eighty long years, but I am convinced that Trump, JD Vance, and today's Republicans are the fools who accelerated the process of its collapse.... And now Western media is reporting that protests are taking place in Iran. Of course, there are many difficulties, and I have no intention of unconditionally supporting Iran... but I am sure that even if the current Iranian regime is overthrown, the scenario desired by the US, the wrong Zionists, and the West will never come true. As I always emphasize, Iran is part of the evil Islamic extremist forces and a dangerous force, but as I said before, it is a country with a formal democratic system within the system. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the outposts of Islamic extremism, are true Islamic totalitarian dictatorships without …More

Diagnosing 2026 Traditional Catholics

Nightmare-fueled Barque of Peter AI imagery.
Traditional Catholics right now are not interested in namby-pamby generic catechesis, beginner what-is-Latin-Mass explainers, soft pastoral reassurances, endless Vatican II parsing, Trad drama, boring nostalgia, or over-heated prophecy talk. No more tabloid outrage.
This is sort of hard for me, being a rabble rouser and a banner carrier. (I know what I am.)
No, the #1 obsession is: authority and legitimacy. Who has real authority right now, and who doesn’t? Is obedience still a virtue when authority is corrupt? Devoted Catholics feel gaslit with all of the institutional language about “unity” and whatnot. Catholics want some sort of a moral permission to resist obvious evil without feeling schismatic.
Because, what do we have here? We’ve had an increase in the Vatican’s managerial language. There’s no talk about theology at all. There’s a bunch of therapeutic moralism pouring out of Rome’s media channels. We’re not hearing pastors--we’re …

Faith Hope Charity

Until the END OF TIME, the TRUTH is etched on the *ROCK OF SAINT PETER* , the first pope taught, blessed, and chosen by JESUS CHRIST.
In all the teachings by the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH instituted by JESUS CHRIST especially of those INFALLIBLE DOCTRINES and DOGMAS which have been handed down, there is allowed no change for those Catholics who intend to remain FAITHFUL.

HOW IS HOLY MASS BEING OFFERED IN THE DIOCESE OF MANCHESTER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?

HOW IS HOLY MASS BEING OFFERED IN THE DIOCESE OF MANCHESTER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the diocese of Manchester in New Hampshire, USA, accept and interpret , Magisterial Documents rationally, traditionally, non schismatically and honestly. But Bishop Peter Libasci, the bishop of Manchester, Fr. Georges de Laire the Judicial Vicar and the rest of the Curia do not do the same.
Canonically, the bishop and Curia must affirm in public, the Nicene Creed, the Apostles Creed and the Athanasius Creed, in their original understanding. They don’t. Instead Fr. Georges de Laire has placed legal prohibitions upon the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and indicates that the issue is doctrinal. They affirm the dogma EENS in the original. He does not. They interpret the baptism of desire as being invisible cases in 2025-2026. For him the baptism of desire is an exception for the dogma EENS. So he implies it is not an invisible case. The Athanasius …More

You may be able to read this by translating it where you are. The guide may help you understand what is happening in your country right now even though it is written for the States. I think we are all in the same boat with the takeover of our Western Civilizations! Merry Christmas!

Insurrection and Violence: A Citizen's Guide

This book by Unconstrained Analytics is a guide for all citizens that are concerned with the chaos and violence occurring on the streets of America, regardless of political outlook. Though much of the violence clearly has political intent and purpose, that is outside the scope of this study.
The goal – to explain the violence, who is perpetrating it, and how to avoid becoming a victim, sounds simple enough. However, this is a very dynamic situation, the amount of information available is immense, and much of it is opinion disguised as the truth. To help with this task, the writers consulted with experienced and proven analysts on intelligence, crime, politics, revolutionary warfare, history, survival, and trauma medicine. They separated fact from perception, assessing the inexplicable, and delivering it concisely. It serves well as a handbook for the average American.
If you disagree with the assessment of the situation presented early in the book, stay the course; and take a close look …

@Jeffrey Ade thanks for share it!! my great online friend, brother Jeffrey.... so horrible truth..... I am convinced that Trump, JD Vance, and the current Republicans are simply a new form of evil, and that they are very likely to declare a new Fourth Empire in the United States, using the excuse of war with countries like Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria, etc... Oh, and I found a very interesting article on this site... Contrary to what the orthodox Catholics and Christians who support Trump, Vance, and the current Republicans claim, there is no revival of Catholicism or Christianity in America, or indeed in the West...In fact, I'm convinced this is a natural outcome... For a true revival of faith, they must first purify themselves. Trump himself has been divorced three times, and so has Steve Bannon, Trump's supposedly loyal subordinate. Consider his inner circle: how many have been involved in inappropriate relationships or affairs? If these people claim to be protecting the Christian community …More
