Brazilian 3D designer Cicero Moraes has denied the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, arguing that the cloth did not cover the body of a crucified man, but rather a sculpture. His hypothesis was published on February 9 in the journal Archaeometry (University of Oxford). Moraes claimed that the visible contact points on the shroud corresponded more closely to those of a flat relief or sculpted figure than to a human body wrapped in cloth. He added that the shroud likely originated in the Middle Ages rather than in the time of Christ. Despite his confident rhetoric, Moraes did not prove his theory by reproducing a shroud, even with modern technology, let alone medieval methods. Methodological Flaws and Overlooking Key Elements His claims have sparked strong criticism from several researchers. Tristan Casabianca, Emanuela Marinelli and Alessandro Piana have pointed at methodological flaws. They argue that Moraes' modelling is anatomically insufficient because it only reproduces the frontal …Zwiṅwe
Their obduracy in malevolent denial of the extraordinary facts already fully established regarding the Shroud by the scientific community itself is without bounds.

On this day, 13 years ago, Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world | Shalom World News On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation during a consistory of cardinals in the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican. The meeting had been convened to discuss several canonizations, including those of the Martyrs of Otranto. At approximately 11:46 a.m. Rome time, the Pope delivered a brief statement in Latin, declaring that, after having repeatedly examined his conscience before God, he had come to the certainty that his “strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry.” He specified that both “strength of mind and body” were necessary to govern the Church in the modern world. Citing Canon 332 §2 of the Code of Canon Law, which permits a pope to resign freely and properly manifest his decision, Benedict announced that his resignation would take effect at 8:00 p.m. on February 28, 2013, the moment from which the See of Rome …Zwiṅwe

A great blast from the past St Mary`s Assumption Church New Orleans celebrating 150 years anniversary
Brick Parade.( St Marys Assumption Church). This is the actual date of the 150th anniversary. The Brick Parade began at 6:30pm Thursday June 24th 2010. The parishioners gathered at the park to witness and participate."Brick Parade" - to commemorate how our ancestor woman carried bricks to the site of St. Mary's Church in their aprons. When the horse-drawn wagons bogged down in the mud the women trudged their way through the mud to the wagons, loaded their aprons, and brought them to the construction site. That's why we are selling aprons along with the T-shirts.
The Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) has released a statement on the 12 February meeting between its Superior General, Fr Davide Pagliarani, and Cardinal Tucho Fernández. "The conversation, which took place in an atmosphere that was both cordial and frank, lasted an hour and a half and was held one-on-one at the Cardinal’s request." According to the statement, Fr Pagliarani clarified the intent behind the announcement of the episcopal consecrations on 1 July. "For his part, Cardinal Fernández offered an alternative approach to the issue. In an official communiqué swiftly published by the Holy See, he proposed ‘a specifically theological path of dialogue, according to a very precise methodology […] to highlight the minimum necessary for full communion with the Catholic Church’, which would enable ‘the definition of a canonical status for the Society’." The prior condition for the dialogue is the suspension of the decision regarding the announced episcopal consecrations. …Zwiṅwe
"The dicastery stressed, however, that such discussions can only proceed if the SSPX suspends its planned episcopal consecrations, scheduled for July 1, 2026." This implies the discussions will go past July 1. Which means the Vatican is stonewalling!

Pagan King Feb. 11, 2026 nytimes.com/2026/02/11/opinion/donald-trump- … By Leighton Woodhouse Mr. Woodhouse is a documentary filmmaker and the author of the newsletter Social Studies. Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada recently described the world that President Trump is dragging us into with this aphorism: “The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.” The quote comes from Thucydides’ fictionalized account of a negotiation between Athens and the rulers of the island of Melos, in the Peloponnesian War. The Melians, who were no match for the Athenians, wished to remain neutral. They complained that Athens’s demand that they submit to its rule was unjust. The Athenians responded that matters of justice exist only between equals. Between those who are strong and those who are weak there is only force. The dialogue is famous for its stark portrayal of the dictates of political realism. The world is not guided by ideals and values, it demonstrates. It is brokered …Zwiṅwe
Isadora Borges is facing criminal prosecution in Brazil after posting comments on X in November 2020 stating that so-called transgender women “were obviously born male” and that gender identity does not change a person’s birth DNA. She added that no surgery, synthetic hormones, or clothing changes that biological reality. In 2025, she was charged with two counts of “transphobia,” each carrying a possible two-to-five-year prison sentence. The complaint was filed by the politician Erika Hilton. The case follows a 2019 ruling by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Tribunal equating "homophobia" and "transphobia" with racism, and has fuelled debate over free speech and anti-discrimination laws in Brazil.
