Leo XIV-appointed bishop wants women to preach at Mass. Bishop Beat Grögli of St. Gallen, Switzerland, has defended the practice of women delivering homilies at Mass, although canon law defines the homily as an inherent part of the liturgy. Kath.ch reported on October 8 that Bishop Grögli told a group of women that this prohibited practice had existed in his diocese for nearly 50 years. He suggested that reversing the practice would be incomprehensible. Grögli described the theological arguments against women preaching as “weak,” adding: “Honestly, I have never understood them.” He considers “the female perspective in preaching an enrichment.” Asked whether his position constituted disobedience, he pointed to ongoing discussions with Rome. Canon 767 §1 reserves the homily at Mass to priests and deacons. The Vatican's 2004 instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum states that lay homilies at Mass cannot acquire legitimacy through longstanding custom. Pope Leo XIV appointed Grögli Bishop of …Ọzọ
Pope Leo Walking, Celebrating Mass as Doctors Await Crucial Biopsy Results | SG News Pope Leo XIV is making steady progress at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital following successful surgery for lung adenocarcinoma, according to the latest updates from the Vatican. The 71-year-old Pope underwent surgery on October 13 to remove the lower lobe of his right lung after doctors detected a small, localized nodule during recent medical examinations. His doctors now say postoperative recovery is proceeding as expected. Blood tests and a chest X-ray carried out after surgery produced results within the expected range for this type of operation. Pope Leo has begun walking around his hospital room, resumed eating normally and started respiratory physiotherapy — an important part of recovery following lung surgery. The Holy Father has also returned to prayer and liturgical life. The Vatican confirmed that Pope Leo concelebrated Holy Mass in a specially prepared room on the hospital’s 10th floor. He has also …Ọzọ

"Conservative" institutions are supporting the homosexual activist James Martin SJ. Two Catholic groups - the substack.com account 'The Pillar' and the Napa Institute - have given public prominence to pro-homosexual James Martin. On 12 October, JD Flynn of 'The Pillar' published a 96-minute interview with Martin. He claimed that practising homosexuals (who "do whatever") are "treated like dirt" when they are told not to receive Holy Communion. Martin accused priests and other Catholics of mistreating homosexuals, whom he portrayed as victims of even physical violence. Flynn did not challenge these unsubstantiated allegations. The following day, Martin took part in the Napa Institute's annual Eucharistic procession through Midtown Manhattan, starting at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Founded in 2010 by businessman Timothy Busch and Jesuit Father Robert Spitzer, the California-based Napa Institute attracts conservative Catholic bishops and wealthy donors. Its flagship event, the annual Summer …Ọzọ
Saint Magdalene of Nagasaki - October 15 Magdalene of Nagasaki (長崎のマグダレナ, Nagasaki no Magudarena) (1611 – October 15, 1634) was a Japanese Christian who served as a translator and catechist for the Augustine Recollect missionaries. She became a tertiary of the Order of Augustinian Recollects. Life Born in 1611 near Nagasaki, Magdalene was the daughter of a Christian couple martyred about 1620. With the arrival of the Augustinian Order in 1623, Magdalene served as an interpreter for the friars Francis of Jesus Terrero and Vincent of Saint Anthony Simoens. In 1625, she became a tertiary of the Order of Augustinian Recollects. Magdalene taught catechism to the young, sought alms for the poor, and encouraged the people in times of persecution. In 1632, the two Augustinian friars, who had been her spiritual counselors, were burned alive. After the martyrdom of her counselors, she apprenticed herself to two other Augustinians, Melchior of Saint Augustine and Martin of Saint Nicholas.…Ọzọ
Hl. Magdalena von Nagasaki - Gedenktag: 15. Oktober Magdalena von Nagasaki, Märtyrerin (TodestagLaurentius Ruiz und Gefährten - Ökumenisches … Magdalena wurde 1611 als Tochter vornehmer Christen in der Nähe von Nagasaki geboren. Die Handschriften beschreiben sie als erlesene und schöne junge Frau. Als sie noch sehr jung war wurden ihre Eltern und Geschwister auf Grund ihres christlichen Glaubens zum Tode verurteilt. 1624 lernte sie zwei Rekollektions-Augustiner kennen, deren tiefe Spiritualität sie so beeinflusste, dass sie sich als augustinische Rekollektions-Terzianerin Gott weihte. Von da an war ihr Festkleid der Terzianerinnenhabit, ihre einzigen Betätigungsfelder das Gebet, die Lektüre der hl. Schrift und das Apostolat. Die Zeiten waren schwierig. Die Christenverfolgung wurde immer systematischer und grausamer. Magdalena ermutigte die Christen, lehrte die Kinder den Katechismus und sammelte von den portugiesischen Kaufleuten Almosen für die Armen. 1629 suchte sie Zuflucht in den …Ọzọ
Leo XIV has spent another peaceful night at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital following lung cancer surgery, the Vatican announced today. Pope Leo XIV got up, had breakfast and continues to recover as expected. He has resumed walking, eating regular meals and undergoing respiratory physiotherapy. On Wednesday evening, he also concelebrated Mass in a room near his hospital room. Despite the surgery, Pope Leo still intends to travel to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from November 6-17, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni confirmed yesterday. The ambitious 12-day journey, the longest of his pontificate, includes numerous flights and a visit to the high-altitude city of Cusco. It is scheduled to begin just 24 days after his operation. It raises questions about whether the Pope will be fit enough to undertake such a demanding itinerary. Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori has acknowledged that adjustments may be necessary depending on his recovery. Cardinal Isao Kikuchi has said Leo XIV deliberately scheduled …Ọzọ

Why Won’t America’s Aging Elite Retire? | Interesting Times with Ross Douthat American leaders are staying in office past their prime. Boomers are reluctant to relinquish control — from political offices to corner offices — to the detriment of their juniors. In a society where the elderly hold so much power, should younger generations revolt?

Marriage and family: “We can no longer continue as before. It is a change, an evolution.” At today’s closing press conference of the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Msgr. Philippe Bordeyne, president of the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences, declared: “We can no longer continue as before” in family ministry. Asked about marital failures, he described an “evolution” in the meeting’s approach to family “fragility”: rather than focusing on irregular marital situations, it now treats fragility as a universal human condition. “I don’t know whether it is a step forward, but it is a change, an evolution.”
Bordeyne : « Nous ne pouvons plus continuer comme avant » dans la pastorale familiale. Et : « Je ne sais pas si c’est un pas en avant, mais c’est un changement, une évolution. »
This is the same 'logic' which led the Israelites, and afterwards most Protestant denominations to accept divorce. Jesus was unequivocal about the sanctity of marriage. Becoming "stiff-necked" is not an "evolution".
Naturalmente il Leone invita solo sacerdoti scismatici ed eretici per portar avanti l'opera del predecessore, introdurre le eresie e fragilità, come bene da riconoscere, non più come peccato. I nuovi ariani sono rientrati nella Chiesa e i nuovi San Attanasio, emarginati, espulsi, fatti pensionare anzi tempo, devono combatterli. Ma siamo in tempo di persecuzione, è normale per i cristiani, perché da martiri, ossia testimoni, dobbiamo difendere Cristo e il Vangelo. Non ci dobbiamo impressionare. Se chi vuole stare con il diavolo, il menzognero che propaga menzogne, noi dobbiamo stare con la Verità e non con il compromesso. Gesù a un noto veggente non più tra noi gli chiese: "lo sai perché le persone non si convertono?" Il veggente non sa rispondere. Gesù gli replica: "perché si sono compromesse". E questo vale anche per i sacerdoti, che a quanto vedo necessitano più degli altri di convertirsi.
If you try to hide a piece of candy while a five-year-old is watching, chances are the child will go straight for it the moment you turn away. A hooded crow may do something very different. It can suddenly act as though a dry blade of grass is the most fascinating thing in the world—while quietly memorizing every detail of what you’re doing. This fall, I regularly watched a large male crow I nicknamed Graf at the Moscow State University Botanical Garden. One afternoon, he found half a walnut on a path and appeared ready to hide it beneath the roots of an old oak tree. But about 40 feet away, a younger crow was perched in a maple, watching his every move. Many animals might simply fly off or hurry to bury the food before the rival could get closer. Graf chose another strategy. He behaved like a seasoned magician. He carefully dug a small hole in the moss with his beak, dropped a dry oak leaf into it, covered the spot with dirt, and then calmly flew to the top of a nearby poplar as if the …Ọzọ
