Catholic News Agency reports on four priests and six deacons ordained in South Sudan’s Tombura-Yambio diocese on January 4, 2026. The report centers on Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala’s homily, which reduces the priesthood to social activism while omitting essential Catholic doctrines on sacramental efficacy and the primacy of grace.
The VaticanNews portal (January 11, 2026) promotes Al-Maghtas in Jordan as the baptismal site of Christ, emphasizing archaeological findings, UNESCO recognition, and visits by antipopes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. This neo-ecclesial propaganda exemplifies the conciliar sect’s surrender to naturalistic historicism and religious indifferentism.
Vatican News portal reports on January 11, 2026, that antipope Leo XIV used his Angelus address to propagate modernist distortions of baptism. The sect’s leader declared during the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord: “God does not look at the world from afar,” while describing baptism as making Christians “children of God through the power of his life-giving Spirit.” The address omits baptism’s essential purpose of cleansing original sin and restoring sanctifying grace – a fatal theological omission exposing the neo-church’s apostasy.
Catholic News Agency reports on the “Adopt a Bishop” initiative launched by Lauren Winter of Brick House in the City and The Dorothea Project. The program randomly assigns participants a post-conciliar “bishop” to pray for throughout the year, citing Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle’s anecdote about offering candy to Robert Prevost (Leo XIV) during the conclave as inspiration. Winter claims this addresses the “enormous spiritual weight” carried by these prelates, framing prayer as “reciprocity” between laity and hierarchy. Over 1,000 participants have joined this ecumenical endeavor, which purports to strengthen “bonds within the Church” through “the quiet work of prayer.” The article concludes with Winter’s hope that participants feel “more connected to their bishop” through this exercise.
Vatican News portal (January 11, 2026) reports on “Pope” Leo XIV baptizing 20 children of Vatican employees in the Sistine Chapel, continuing a tradition initiated by the apostate Wojtyła (“John Paul II”) in 1981. The article describes the event as imparting “the meaning of life” through baptism, with the usurper proclaiming that “with God, life finds salvation” and emphasizing faith as “more essential” than material needs. This sacrilegious spectacle demonstrates the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of sacramental theology.
Catholic News Agency reports that Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun condemned the Synod on Synodality as an “ironclad manipulation” and “insult to the dignity of the bishops” during Pope Leo XIV’s January 2026 consistory. The 93-year-old prelate criticized the process for bypassing the college of bishops while paradoxically claiming to “understand hierarchical ministry,” denounced the “ridiculous and almost blasphemous” invocation of the Holy Spirit to justify innovations, and warned that regional doctrinal adaptations would fracture the Church like the Anglican Communion. The article frames Zen’s intervention as a courageous critique while omitting the fundamental incompatibility of “Bergoglian synodality” with Catholic ecclesiology.
Catholic News Agency reports on January 10, 2026, that Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser admitted the pro-life movement is “not safe” within the Republican Party while urging continued political advocacy to protect the Hyde Amendment. The article frames abortion as a policy debate requiring renewed Republican commitment rather than addressing the theological root cause: society’s collective apostasy from Christ the King.
VaticanNews portal (January 10, 2026) reports on “Pope” Leo XIV’s meeting with Rome’s youth, emphasizing themes of overcoming loneliness through “encountering God and neighbor” while warning against virtual relationships. The event – held in the modernist Paul VI Hall – featured emotional gestures and vague spiritual exhortations that conceal doctrinal bankruptcy.
The Vatican News portal (January 10, 2026) reports on continued protests in Iran, framing the unrest as a spontaneous popular uprising against economic hardship and alleged human rights violations. The article emphasizes international reactions, including statements from U.S. President Donald Trump threatening military intervention (“we’ll start shooting too”), and joint appeals from European leaders Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Friedrich Merz urging Iran to allow “freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.” The report cites unverified casualty figures from the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group while acknowledging the impossibility of independent verification due to internet restrictions. Absent entirely is any mention of Iran’s systematic persecution of Christians or the theological implications of Western powers imposing secular values on an Islamic nation.
VaticanNews portal (January 10, 2026) reports on “exploratory talks” between the United States and Venezuela to restore diplomatic relations severed in 2019. The article details a U.S. delegation’s visit following the capture of Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores, with discussion of reopening embassies and securing $100 billion in oil investments. Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez frames this as “defending independence,” while Exxon CEO Darren Woods expresses skepticism due to prior asset seizures. This diplomatic maneuvering epitomizes the naturalist fallacy of modern statecraft – treating nations as autonomous entities divorced from Divine Law.
