Vatican News portal (December 24, 2025) reports on antipope Leo XIV’s inaugural “Christmas of Peace” celebrations, featuring Midnight Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, revival of Christmas Day Mass, and Urbi et Orbi blessing. The article highlights seasonal rhetoric about “unarmed peace” alongside liturgical innovations like children from six nations processing with flowers.
Vatican News portal reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) plans to celebrate Christmas liturgies in St. Peter’s Basilica, including a December 25 Mass not observed since John Paul II’s pontificate. The article describes a Nativity scene featuring “28,000 white ribbons bearing the names or pseudonyms of children saved from abortion” and announces the closure of the Jubilee Year on January 6, marking only the second time in history when a different antipope closes than opened the Holy Year. This theatrical display of traditionalism serves as window-dressing for the conciliar sect’s fundamental apostasy.
The Vatican News portal (December 24, 2025) reports on “Cardinal” Pietro Parolin’s visit to Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital, where he declared: “Jesus is born every time you welcome the smallest ones” and “every time attention is given to children and families… Jesus is born again.” The article emphasizes “human dimension” in healthcare while quoting secular poet Giovanni Papini, framing hospital work as an incarnational event. This constitutes a complete inversion of Catholic soteriology and ecclesiology.
The Catholic News Agency (CNA) portal (December 24, 2025) reports on the “Feast of the Seven Fishes,” tracing its origins to southern Italian poverty and the region’s proximity to the ocean. The article claims this tradition stems from the Catholic practice of abstaining from meat on Christmas Eve, while noting the symbolic significance of the number seven in Scripture and sacraments. It describes the meal as a multi-course seafood banquet with dishes like linguine con frutti di mare and desserts such as struffoli, framing it as a cultural heritage preserved by Italian immigrants in America.
Catholic News Agency reports on December 23, 2025, about Bishop Michael Martin’s decree prohibiting altar rails and kneelers for Communion reception in Charlotte diocese effective January 16, 2026. The bishop claims standing constitutes the “normative posture” per U.S. bishops’ guidelines, dismissing kneeling as absurd despite massive lay and clerical opposition. This follows Martin’s earlier suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass, restricting it to one inadequate chapel despite the tradition-loving community producing 75% of diocesan seminarians. A diocesan priest anonymously condemns the “heavy-handed” approach causing division, while a canon lawyer’s circulating letter accuses Martin of governing by personal preference rather than Church law or tradition. The article notes parishes maintaining kneeling traditions yield disproportionate vocations compared to “mega parishes” embracing modern innovations.
Catholic News Agency via ACI Prensa reports that the European Commission has defunded the Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe (FAFCE) while simultaneously financing “abortion tourism” and imposing recognition of homosexual unions across member states. The Brussels-based federation – comprising 33 associations from 20 countries – had its funding frozen in November 2025 despite submitting projects on child protection from pornography and digital safety. FAFCE president Vincenzo Bassi attributes this to ideological discrimination against the Catholic vision of marriage as between one man and one woman, stating the EU now considers family experience “incompatible with European values.” This financial suffocation occurs as EU institutions push “soft law” mechanisms to override national sovereignty on family and life issues.
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 23, 2025) reports on an international human trafficking conference organized by the Sovereign Order of Malta, Praeveni Global, Santa Marta Group, and the Pontifical Gregorian University’s Institute of Anthropology. The event featured testimonies from trafficking survivors like Karla De la Cuesta alongside presentations by UN rapporteur Reem Alsalem and conciliar sect figures including “Cardinal” Fabio Baggio and “Fr.” Hans Zollner. While decrying the 50 million trafficking victims worldwide, the conference proposed purely naturalistic solutions, epitomizing the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Regnum Christi (the Reign of Christ) as the sole remedy for societal ills.
The Catholic News Agency portal reports the release of 130 students and teachers kidnapped from St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in Nigeria’s Niger state, completing the liberation of 303 captives taken on November 21, 2025. Authorities attribute the resolution to “military intelligence-driven operations,” while the Diocese of Kontagora issued statements thanking governmental and security forces without invoking supernatural intervention.
Vatican News portal (December 23, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV (“Robert Prevost”) appealed for “24 hours of peace worldwide at Christmas” during a press encounter at Castel Gandolfo. The article quotes his generic disappointment over Illinois’ assisted suicide law and his diplomatic remarks on Ukraine and Gaza, framing these as moral concerns while avoiding any call for repentance or acknowledgment of Christ’s sovereignty.
Catholic News Agency reports on December 23, 2025, that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) appealed to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker during a November 2025 Vatican meeting to veto an assisted suicide bill. The self-styled “pope” expressed disappointment when Pritzker signed the legislation on December 12, claiming they had been “very clear about the necessity to respect the sacredness of life” while asking people to “reflect upon the nature of human life” during Christmas. The article quotes the usurper’s weak lamentations about the governor’s decision and mentions Cardinal Blase Cupich’s equally ineffectual objections, framing this exchange as legitimate Catholic opposition while concealing the conciliar sect’s doctrinal bankruptcy.
