Catholic Church needs property to fulfil its mission
The slogan 'A poor Church for the poor' is meaningless, and the bishops have turned themselves into liquidators. However, to evangelise and support charitable works, the Church needs the necessary infrastructure. Otherwise, it becomes subservient to those in power.
Is it Mary a model of the redeemed and nothing more? The dogmatic truth is different
In this article, Father Serafino Lanzetta, a professor of dogmatic theology at the Theological Faculty of Lugano, weighs in on the debate sparked by Mater Populi Fidelis. He refers back to the first great Mariological dispute, which was resolved at Ephesus. Today, as then, downplaying Mary's role leads to a misunderstanding of the truth about Christ.

Co-Redemptrix by participation: the forgotten principle
Mary's redemptive capacity is indeed within her, but not from her; it is shared. This is a key concept, expressed precisely by the concept of co-redemption, but carefully overlooked by Mater Populi Fidelis.

'Mary Co-Redemptrix': all that's wrong in the Vatican Note
The Daily Compass publishes the document by the Theological Commission of the International Marian Association, which clarifies the correct doctrine concerning the titles 'Mary Co-Redemptrix' and 'Mediatrix of all graces'. This document responds to the 'Note Mater Populi Fidelis' by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which caused confusion and disorientation among the faithful.

They want us all to become 'forest families'
The story of Nathan Trevallion and Catherine Birmingham, in Italy, is paradoxical because they embody the lifestyle that the so-called 'green' tyranny wants for everyone: they are the only people who comply with the ecological footprint. However, they clash with another ideology, that of the omnipotent state.
The diaconate divides Vatican commission on women deacons
The ten members called upon to express their opinion on the ordination of women deacons are divided into two theological currents. The issue that emerged in Cardinal Petrocchi's summary concerns the understanding of the third degree of holy orders. The ball is now in the Pope's court; he is not bound by their opinions.
Younan the disheartened patriarch makes futile attempt to gain Pope’s support
The majority of Syriac Catholic bishops had asked for his resignation, a decision later supported by the Holy See. However, during a private meeting in Beirut between the Pope and the Catholic patriarchs, Younan sought his brothers' support in an attempt to convince Prevost to change his mind. It is highly unlikely that he will.
The new gold rush is an eviction notice for the dollar system
Gold prices have more than doubled since the start of 2024 and recently reached a new all-time high of $4,400 per ounce. This explosive rise in gold is a direct result of the sharp erosion in the purchasing power of fiat money — money 'printed' by central banks.
‘My friend Pierina Gilli and the miracles of Mary, Mystical Rose’
Journalists expose the anti-clerical professor who embraces the faith; the priest who leaves his lover and converts; the sudden and inexplicable healings; and the holiness of Pierina. The Daily Compass interviews Don Bruno Libralesso, a close friend of the Montichiari visionary
The paradox of Trump: the 'peacemaker' attacking Venezuela
While intensifying efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, US President Trump is moving closer to a military attack on Venezuela. How can this be explained? Because the real goal is not peace, but US interests.
Fernández's latest mess over the use of title 'Co-Redemptrix'
In response to journalist Diane Montagna, the Prefect of the CDF explained that the title of 'Co-Redemptrix' should no longer be used in liturgical texts or Vatican documents. However, it could still be used among friends after reading and understanding the 'Mater Populi Fidelis'. This is an incredible blunder which creates a rift within the Church. The case of the 'mutinous' Mariologists.
