The S.R.E. Cardinal Burke pontificated at The Parish™ for real Epiphany.
A French Bishop, Dominique Rey of Fréjus-Toulon, who was supportive of traditional worship and who brought up many vocations, has “been resigned” at 72 years. HERE At first he received an investigation and then coadjutor. Now, the pen was put into his hand and, surprise, his resignation was quickly accepted.
An Italian religious sister was appointed as PREFECT of Religious. A Cardinal is now pro-Prefect, which probably means that he reports to her. I can’t help but think that this is going to be well-received, given how incoherent it is.
The Italian bishops’ newspaper ran a story against Mary’s virginity. HERE

White to move and mate in 4.
[NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.]
A play-in for a big “freestyle” tournament in Germany is on and they’ve gotten to a knock-out stage. My guy Wesley So is in it.
Christendom sighs once again. We are once day closer to the death of this generation that hates you and I.
1. R-h8+ . . K×h8 (to avoid Q×e8# if K-g7)
2. Q×e8+ . . K-h7
3. R-h1+. . R-h3

Black about to mate so better check the king fast…

4. RxR#
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
Now, if the religion that made the most sense was run in the most sensible way, that would make people’s lives too easy. Who doesn’t love a challenge?
Again, given that White faces mate in 1, he must continually apply check until mate.
1. Rh8+ KxR (otherwise, if 1. … Kg7, 2. QxB is mate)
2. QxB+ Kh7
3. Rh1+ Rh3
4. RxR mate
White martyrdom.
