Cyprus has become a destination for migration and investment for Israelis, particularly since the war began. But it is also a destination for the Lebanese, who were initially fleeing the economic crisis and, since 2023, the war as well.

GRAHAM PLATNER

It doesn’t matter if he’s a Nazi or swears. As long as he isn’t sexist

On average, a rape allegation is enough to ruin the candidacy of Graham Platner, the Democratic Party’s rising star. Between Nazi tattoos, profanity on social media and violent rhetoric, he hadn’t caused anyone any concern until now.

True and False Obedience: What a Confusion Among Écône Supporters

If we must obey the Pope, then we should keep quiet and lay low about Fiducia supplicans: this is one of the most common reactions among those who justify the disobedience of the Society of St. Pius X. Things aren’t exactly like that, but to understand what is binding and when, we must first get to the “heart” of the Petrine primacy.

The story

Martina, the little girl on a mission for the Virgin Mary

“From the moment she was born, she was guided by someone, although we only realised this clearly when she fell ill: Maria Rosa Mistica came into her life after she was given a small holy card.” The story of Martina Kluzer, who died of cancer at the age of 7, after offering her life to Jesus and Mary for the conversion of hearts: Bussola interviewed her family.

The Écône schism is “a serious wound to the Church that could have been avoided” eight years ago: it was not the Apostolic See that closed the door, but the Fraternity that demanded Rome correct its errors and reject the Declaration – “the result of a joint effort” – as the former secretary of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei recalls in La Bussola.


La Bussola interviews Father Abdo Raad, a Lebanese priest and founder of the Annas Linnas Association: “The peace agreement is merely a starting point that does not realistically address the main problem: the plight of the 400,000 Palestinians living in dire conditions. The country is in the grip of a devastating economic crisis caused by the war and corruption.”

On 4 July 1776, a new nation was born, free from British taxes and European turmoil. This event was radically different from the project to reshape man and society in France. This American advantage was gradually eroded from 1968 onwards.

At the consistory, Müller breaks his silence on the ‘Écône affair’

The former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is shaking up the Sacred College in the face of an imminent new schismatic act. His two proposals are: to respond to the accusation that the Apostolic See has lost the faith, levelled by the Society of St Pius X, and to prepare to welcome those who will not continue in the schism, as happened in 1988 with the Ecclesia Dei Commission.

THE DECLARATION

From the Lefebvrians: a profession of faith that is both comprehensive and inconsistent

In the letter sent on 24 June to the cardinals and the Pope, the Fraternity emphasises orthodoxy, but only to a certain extent. The crux of the matter is its claim to proclaim Catholic doctrine whilst remaining outside Catholic unity; to recognise the Pope whilst at the same time consecrating bishops against his will; and to declare itself faithful to the Church whilst rejecting its sacraments.

US CONGRESS

Senators, Too, Are Tying Trump's Hands on Iran

A heated clash erupted in the U.S. Senate, where four senators defected to the opposition to vote on a resolution regarding the president’s war powers. This sends a strong message to Trump and his handling of the conflict in Iran.

Vatican

New consistory: the topics change, but the synod tables remain the same

Four sessions over two days, culminating in the Mass of Saints Peter and Paul, feature on the agenda of the Sacred College, which will meet from 26 to 29 June. Alongside the mission and the ‘novelty’ of Magnifica humanitas, synodality continues to dominate the organisation of working groups, with the risk that dissenting voices may be silenced.
