Simply log in to your Pelican+ account to unwrap these gifts and let them warm your heart and home.The First Christmas — Audio DramaIn this Pelican+ Original Christmas Special, Nicholas Fernandez & Josh Canevari—creators of Martyrs and Miracle Men—retell the story of the very first Christmas with reverence, clarity, and wonder.Follow the Holy Family as they undertake the long and difficult journey to Bethlehem in obedience to the Roman census, carrying with them the hopes of Israel and the quiet fulfillment of ancient prophecy. Against the darkness of a fallen world and the indifference of empire, the Son of God enters history not in splendor, but in humility.He whom the whole world could not contain was contained in the womb of a woman. Born in the biting cold of a cave, laid upon straw, the Savior of mankind—the eternal Word through whom all things were made—takes on flesh and dwells among us. Shepherds are summoned from the fields, angels proclaim peace on earth, and heaven bends low to meet the world it came to redeem.This audio drama invites you and your family to slow down and behold the mystery at the heart of Christmas: that the Creator of the universe chose poverty, obscurity, and love, that man might be restored. A story not merely remembered, but entered anew—calling hearts back to Bethlehem, and to the Child who is the very reason for the season.A Christmas Special — Collaborator ReflectionsJoin the collaborators of Pelican+ for a special Christmas reflection.

John Paul ll was not a Saint.

John Paul ll is not a Saint! kissing the Koran, Assisi in 1988, Vatican Bank (including standing in the way of investigating the death of Roberto Calvi ), protecting Sex abusers, etc.

"accepts John Paul ll as as a Saint." is what I meant to write, He was the Pope! The Sedevacantist position leads nowhere.

Personally I feel great about this Moto Proprio. It provides clarity about the modernist project. Our family goes to the SSPX masses because of the theology. Since 2009 the SSPX seemed to be on the slide down into the Jaws of the modernist church. This puts a break on this disaster. The Fraternity of Saint Peter accept John Paul ll as a Pope which is absurd for many different reasons. The Gaslighting will continue from the Vatican authorities as it pretends first one thing and then the opposite thing but it's real objective to serve the world rather than the unchanging God is laid bare for any willing to see. We are all sinners and mostly we fool ourselves about our own holiness so there is no place for our own smugness. Let's pray for each other and try and be loving to each other. Let's pray also for Pope Francis as well.

Pope John Paul ll is not a saint. To quote Saint Thomas Aqinus and Suaraz is not to understand that they never thought the Pope would have intereligious prayers, kiss the Koran or receive Hindu ashes on their heads as John Paul ll did who was then "canonised" by pachama Pope Francis.
