CATHOLIC: The Holy See has ruled that the cause for the Venerable Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen can proceed to beatification. There are three steps to sainthood. “Venerable” is the title given to a deceased person recognized formally by the pope as having lived heroic virtues. To be beatified and recognized as a “Blessed,” one miracle acquired through the candidate‟s intercession is required. Canonization requires a second miracle after beatification, though a pope may waive this requirement.

LAKE ERIE: As of early February 2026, Lake Erie reached 95-96% ice coverage, the highest level since the total freeze of February 1996. However, over the weekend of February 8-9, 2026, strong winds and shifting ice caused a massive fracture to form, as shown in the satellite imagery from NOAA above. The crack is between 80 and 100 miles long and is several miles wide in some places. The National Weather Service is urging people to stay off the lake, as the ice is unstable and warming temperatures or winds could widen cracks or cause sections to break away.
NEW YUCK CITY: Last Friday, Ronald Hicks became the 11th archbishop of the New York Archdiocese since 1850, taking over from Cardinal Timothy Dolan at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Since at least 1939, every mayor of New York has attended the historic ceremony. Mamdani decided he had better things to do.

REBUTTAL: @abcnewsitic posted the g raphic above with “For the dumb MAGAs who don’t know the difference.”
@pureMetatron responded: “Professional language teacher here. It’s perfectly fine to shorten United States of America as America. It’s not incorrect. It’s an informal shorthand for the country, very commonly used in the English speaking world. While it’s true that it’s also possible to refer to the whole continent as America, when you say Americans you mean people from the USA don’t you? Also It’s ‘This is THE USA.’ Not ‘this is USA;, if we are gonna be pedantic. So your chosen picture is wrong. MAGA is right and you’re dumb.”

GRAMMY NOTES: Buzz is working on his Small Engine Mechanics badge. When he’s done, he should be able to take apart a small four-stroke engine and put it back together with minimal help from a mentor. He will also have read 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 and explained how the principle Paul is teaching can relate to a small engine.
