The share of adults identifying as Catholic has declined sharply across much of Latin America over the past decade. The number of people with no religious affiliation has risen, according to a January 21 Pew Research Center report. This marks a shift in a region where more than 90% of people were Catholic around 1900. The report, Catholicism Has Declined in Latin America Over the Past Decade is based on surveys of more than 6,200 adults in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru conducted in spring 2024. Comparing the results with a similar 2013–14 survey, Pew found that the Catholic share fell by at least 9 percentage points in all six countries. Today, Catholics make up 46% of adults in Brazil and Chile, 58% in Argentina, 60% in Colombia, and 67% in both Mexico and Peru. A decade ago, all six countries had Catholic majorities of roughly six-in-ten or more adults.

Can’t do it without the priests. Any priest with a plastic tab “collar”: RUN. Where are the street preachers? The bishops confronting the government? Revolution for God is the only good one, and it is a counterrevolution.
This report from the Pew Research Center is yet another reason for us, as Catholics, to "go all out." Is there still anyone who doubts that Vatican II was a failure? and that the time is near? and that it's better to be prepared...
Leftist women and their Romper Room mentality: Whether it’s the newest entrant into the Star Trek world or a day in court, leftist women, with their relentless faux “mommy-ness” demean our world.
One of my earliest memories dates to when I was three or, at most, four. Every day, I was glued to our black-and-white TV watching Romper Room, a television show for preschoolers. Miss Nancy opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and then conducted a 30-minute preschool class. This is what Miss Nancy was like back in the 1960s: It’s very sweet, very loving, very patriotic, and very appropriate for the 3-5-year-old set. But what happens when an entire political party is taken over by a horde of Miss Nancys? And worse, what happens when those Miss Nancys don’t focus their energy on raising normal, patriotic children (indeed, they want fewer children in the world, and think infanticide through abortion is brilliant), and instead want to use their warped maternal longings to scold and dominate the world? Well, to begin with, you have Holly Hunter in the new Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which is being roundly castigated as the worst show ever in a swiftly declining franchise. Once, Starfleet …
Justice Department must stop its review of Washington Post reporter's phone, computers The Washington Post has asked a federal court for an order requiring federal authorities to return electronic devices that they seized from a Post reporter's home.

A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department not to review electronic devices the FBI seized from a Washington Post reporter’s home last week. Agents took two phones, two laptops, a Garmin watch, a hard drive, and a recording device from Hannah Natanson’s home, the Washington Post said, in what was part of an investigation into Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones, a government contractor who was charged earlier this month with illegally retaining classified documents. On Wednesday, Magistrate Judge William Porter of the Eastern District of Virginia prohibited prosecutors from looking at any of the items taken during the pre-dawn raid. “The government must preserve but must not review any …Caman
My eldest brother could see aura's. I guess it's almost the same thing. He saw various shades of blues greens, yellow's and once a black aura. He also saw a beautiful brilliant white soul once. He told me it was the most beautiful thing he ever saw. He was a gentle humble person and my favorite sibling.
1st book of Samuel 18,6-9.19,1-7. When David and Saul approached (on David's return after slaying the Philistine), women came out from each of the cities of Israel to meet King Saul, singing and dancing, with tambourines, joyful songs, and sistrums. The women played and sang: "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands." Saul was very angry and resentful of the song, for he thought: "They give David ten thousands, but only thousands to me. All that remains for him is the kingship." (And from that day on, Saul was jealous of David. Saul discussed his intention of killing David with his son Jonathan and with all his servants. But Saul's son Jonathan, who was very fond of David, told him: "My father Saul is trying to kill you. Therefore, please be on your guard tomorrow morning; get out of sight and remain in hiding. I, however, will go out and stand beside my father in the countryside where you are, and will speak to him about you. If I learn anything, I will let you know." …Caman
Erstes Buch Samuel 18,6-9.19,1-7. In jenen Tagen als die Israeliten nach Davids Sieg über den Philister heimkehrten, zogen die Frauen aus allen Städten Israels König Saul singend und tanzend mit Handpauken, Freudenrufen und Zimbeln entgegen. Die Frauen spielten und riefen voll Freude: Saul hat Tausend erschlagen, David aber Zehntausend. Saul wurde darüber sehr zornig. Das Lied missfiel ihm und er sagte: David geben sie Zehntausend, mir aber geben sie nur Tausend. Jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch die Königswürde. Von diesem Tag an war Saul gegen David voll Argwohn. Saul redete vor seinem Sohn Jonatan und vor allen seinen Dienern davon, dass er David töten wolle. Sauls Sohn Jonatan aber hatte David sehr gern; deshalb berichtete er David davon und sagte: Mein Vater Saul will dich töten. Nimm dich also morgen früh in Acht, verbirg dich in einem Versteck! Ich aber will hinausgehen und auf dem Feld gerade dort zu meinem Vater hintreten, wo du bist. Dann werde ich mit meinem Vater über dich reden,…Caman
U.S. President Donald Trump has invited dozens of world leaders to join his Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts. Diplomats know it would undermine the role of the United Nations and established multilateral diplomacy. The initaitve was started to “help manage” the Gaza ceasefire and reconstruction Trump would serve as chairman — effectively for life. Holy See Reviewing Next Steps Cardinal Pietro Parolin replied: “President Trump is asking various countries to participate. I seem to have read in the newspapers this morning that Italy, too, is considering whether to join or not. We have also received the invitation to the Board of Peace for Gaza. The Pope has received it and we are assessing what to do. We are looking into the matter, and I believe it is an issue that requires some time to be properly considered before giving a response.” Countries that have publicly accepted the invitation Egypt — official acceptance reported.

Putin's response, after those that just said no, was best so far. Sure, just use the $1billion from Russia's frozen assets as the enrollment fee and they will consider.

Leo XIV today appointed Monsignor Carlo Roberto Maria Redaelli, 69, until now Archbishop of Gorizia, Italy, as Secretary of the Dicastery for the Clergy.

Archbishop Redaelli intervened publicly and stabbed the priest in the back. The anti-Catholic slogans of Monsignor Redaelli were: One must seek the “grace present in every situation” and …Caman
