In 2025, 82% of religious institutes in the USA had no members making perpetual professions. This is according to the January 2026 study, Women and Men Professing Perpetual Vows in Religious Life: The Profession Class of 2025. It was released by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University. The study is based on responses from 520 out of 723 superiors — a response rate of 72% among US religious institutes. Around 10% of institutes reported one perpetual profession, 8% reported between two and nine. Vocations are highly concentrated in a relatively small number of institutes. In total, the responding institutes reported 179 men and women taking perpetual vows in 2025, of whom 105 were men and 74 were women. This reverses a historic pattern. For most of US Catholic history, women's religious life has been numerically dominant. According to the report, 92% of respondents said they had been Catholic since birth. Around 69% were born in the United States. …Okunengi

Tucker Carlson: "I did not consider that God was real or that you could talk to him or that he would answer. And it's only 56 years of rough and tumble living that have shown me that that is absolutely true and it is our only hope in the end... he's in charge, not us."
I LOVE this. Tucker Carlson, a person who is in the international spotlight, and he dares to say publicly, God's in charge, and we need to pray! Thanks.
Prayer is how we communicate to ALMIGHTY GOD Who is EVERYTHING to every person Whom GOD has created. Praying today in our Holy Rosary for Tucker Carlson to continue his journey toward the gift of ETERNAL LIFE.
A storm knocked down dozens of trees in several areas of the Sanctuary of Fátima. The activity and celebratory dynamics of the Sanctuary were not interrupted and are proceeding as usual. The strong winds that blew last night, with gusts reaching 140 kilometers per hour, knocked down dozens of trees in several areas of the Sanctuary of Fátima. The most affected were the cedars and pine trees in the avenues of the Prayer Enclosure, but trees also fell behind the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and in the Valinhos area. In terms of built heritage, Storm Kristin caused minor damage to some infrastructure, which is already being repaired. The Chapel of the Apparitions and the centuries-old holm oak tree suffered no damage. The Sanctuary continues its usual activities and access to the Prayer Enclosure is unobstructed. Since early morning, work has been underway to remove trees, clean up, and perform maintenance, which will continue for the next few days.
Catholics should not fall into a heretical leaning spiritual posture known as “ultramontanism”, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com on January 28. “It is my duty to criticise this cult of personality,” he said. “It has nothing to do with the Catholic Church.” The Cardinal rejected references to a “Church of Francis,” calling such language heretical. “There is no doctrine of Francis,” he said. “There is only the doctrine of the Church, which may be expressed by the Pope.” He added that the same was true of Pope Benedict XVI: “The ‘Church of Benedict’ doesn’t exist.” The Cardinal warned that some Catholics today vindicate historic Protestant criticisms by treating the Pope as a quasi-divine figure. “It has always been understood that the Pope is a bishop among other bishops,” he said, “the successor of Saint Peter and a principle of unity of the Church — not a unity made by man, but one given by faith, by Jesus Christ, and by revealed truth.” Recalling Benedict …Okunengi
Lecture: Keynote Address of the 2025 Fatima Conference "And the Word Was Made Flesh..." This sixth lecture, the keynote address, is presented by Most Reverend Pierre Roy. KEYNOTE SPEAKER, Most Reverend Pierre Leroy: Most Rev. Pierre Roy was ordained on June 17, 2011, in the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). Having spent the first five years of his priesthood in Québec, he left the Society in 2016 due to a manifest will on the part of SSPX authorities to place themselves under the Novus Ordo hierarchy. Father Pierre Roy then devoted himself to ministering to traditional Catholics in Eastern Canada. On January 7, 2024, he was consecrated a bishop by the Most Reverend Rodrigo Ribeiro da Silva in Sao Paolo Brazil. Bishop Roy’s apostolate remains in Eastern Canada.

Cardinal Tobin has called for the defunding of ICE 'We ask — for the love of God and the love of human beings, which can’t be separated — vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organisation'
Just wait - soon the Novus Ordo Seminaries will be declared Training Camps for Domestic Terrorism. That - a - Boy - Tobin It appears that Tobin is in favor of this: DHS said Garcia-Morales threw a baseball-sized rock at a school bus traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike in Teaneck Township, breaking a window and hitting a third-grade student. The student, an 8-year-old girl, suffered a fracture on her skull and had to undergo surgery.

Jesuit Francesc Peris Will Not Stand Trial for Homosexual Abuse: Two criminal complaints against Francesc Peris, a Spanish Jesuit, have been dismissed by a Barcelona court because the alleged crimes are time-barred. The accusations, dating from 1999 and 2004, were filed by former students of the Casp School in Barcelona. While Peris denied the allegations in court, he admitted to sexual abuse in internal Jesuit proceedings and before the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and also acknowledged abusing minors in Bolivia. More than twenty testimonies and multiple police reports link him to abuses dating back to the 1960s. Removed from teaching in Spain in 2005, Peris later taught briefly in Bolivia. He now lives in a Jesuit community in Valladolid.
Old video I was able to save before it was taken down. I can't say if it was by the owners of this yt channel or yt. Before yt prevented us from downloads I was able to save this one, right before they put the law into place. This was the only video I could find on their channel which didn't mention Medjurogje or any other fake seer. This video takes these facts from two people and a book written by Dimitry Adamsky. Two clips added are from Inessa S before yt took down her channel several months ago.
GOD'S WILL is that Russia is His chosen instrument of predilection to be the recipient of the *obedient CONSECRATION of RUSSIA* by the pope and the bishops in union to usher in the TRIUMPH of the IMMACULATE HEART of MARY no matter whomever does not believe that the WILL OF ALMIGHTY GOD is going to be accomplished.
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, as president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), stepped too far into political territory with his recent remarks about the upcoming constitutional referendum on justice. According to the author, Zuppi did not simply encourage citizens to vote responsibly, but referred to specific and highly contested elements of the reform, such as the separation of careers between judges and prosecutors, the role of the High Council of the Judiciary, and the balance of powers. The article claims that these references closely mirror the arguments used by opponents of the reform and therefore amount to an implicit political position. It criticizes the subsequent CEI statement meant to downplay the controversy, calling it unconvincing and insufficient to neutralize the political impact of Zuppi’s words. The piece also expresses concern that such interventions risk dividing the Church internally and blurring the line between pastoral guidance and political advocacy, citing …Okunengi

Faces of the Holy Land: The Capuchin Mission Born from Saint Francis’ Love In the special “Faces of the Holy Land,” dedicated to the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis, we explore the charisms born from his love for the places of Jesus and for Sacred Scripture. Fr. Gaffurini, president of the Community of the Holy Sepulchre, guides us in discovering the Franciscan Capuchin friars, who have been present in the Holy Land for nearly a century. This time of grace is part of a special year: the Jubilee marking 800 years since the death of Saint Francis. In the heart of the Saint of Assisi burned a deep love for the Holy Land. In an era marked by conflict, Francis came here as a man of peace and desired that his friars remain to guard the places of Jesus. In this context, Fr. Gaffurini leads us to discover the confreres — the Capuchin Friars Minor — to learn about their history and the faces of those who build up the Holy Church through words and deeds. “I believe that the …Okunengi
Pope Leo XIV received today the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, endorsing the soft-porn author Tucho Fernández, the Prefect of the Congregation. Leo XIV made positive mention of several documents published by Tucho “over the past two years”. Tucho was installed as prefect in December 2023. According to Leo XIV, the strongly criticized texts of Tucho provide “pastoral and theological guidance on questions that are often very delicate.” Tucho's Direction Began Fights Among the documents mentioned, Leo XIV recalled what he considered “the principal ones.” They include: - the controversial Declaration Dignitas infinita (2 April 2024) that groups intrinsically evil acts (abortion, euthanasia) together with social issues (war, poverty, immigration) under a single “human dignity” framework. - Norms for proceeding in the discernment of alleged supernatural phenomena (17 May 2024) which remove the category of a formal recognition of supernatural origin of apparitions, allowed …Okunengi
