By ChurchPOP Editor - St. John Paul II had a long-standing devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, and in 1984 he consecrated the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This was requested by Our Lady of Fatima, and Sister Lucia herself confirmed that John Paul II fulfilled the request... The prayer below is a key part of the consecration he made from St. Peter’s Square on March 25th (the feast of the Annunciation), 1984.

By Msgr. Charles Pope - Too many today hold the unbiblical idea that most if not all people are going to Heaven. For weeks now we have been reading parables in the Gospels in which the Lord Jesus warns that many (possibly even most) are not headed for Heaven. There are the wise and the foolish virgins, the industrious and the lazy servants, and the sheep and the goats. Today’s Gospel features those who keep watch and those who do not.

By LifeSiteNews - LifeSite has noted that the McCarrick Report reveals how all three Popes involved in the McCarrick case – John Paul II, Benedict XVI, as well as Francis – had in one way or another an all-too lenient attitude toward the now-ex cardinal. John Paul II was aware that the U.S. cardinal repeatedly slept, as bishop, with priests and seminarians in the same bed; Benedict XVI had received public warnings by U.S. journalists such as Richard Sipe and Matt Abbot that McCarrick had homosexual relations with priests; and Francis was informed by several of his collaborators about McCarrick’s history yet decided to collaborate with him on multiple fronts.

By Jimmy Akin, EWTN News - St. Andrew was one of Jesus’ closest disciples, but many people know little about him.. The feast of St. Andrew is November 30th... St. Andrew was the brother of St. Peter, who was also known as Simon bar-Jonah. He and Andrew shared the same father, so the latter would have been known as Andrew bar-Jonah. Andrew is regularly mentioned after Simon Peter, which suggests that he was Peter’s younger brother.
