Saint Constantius by Ermes Dovico

Women who become bishops' delegates, nuns who consider the distinction between men and women outdated, cardinals who promote the LGBT agenda, homo and trans organisations at home in the Vatican.

Archbishop Schönborn: how the man for all seasons secured his survival

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, now 80, is retiring from ecclesiastical politics.

Scandal in Italy: bishop approves hamburger party in church

On 31 January, in Trissino (diocese of Vicenza, Italy), a hamburger party is planned in St Peter's Church, with the idea of attracting young people to church. An outraged group of faithful wrote to the local Bishop Giuliano Brugnotto. But, he approves the initiative contravening Canon Law and which profanes the house of God. More protests are expected.

A letter by the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, has come to light during the trial against artist Andrea Saltini and Bishop Castellucci for contempt of religion, in which he expresses his disappointment at the blasphemous exhibition on show in the diocese of Carpi. And hints that he was in favour of its early closure. The lawyer representing the faithful: “We will call Parolin as a witness”.


To abolish the Tridentine Mass is 'an insult to the history of the Church'. Benedict XVI had already recalled that 'the First Vatican Council did not define the Pope as an absolute monarch'. A clear no to indifferentism: "Whoever comes to salvation outside the visible boundaries of Christianity, always and only comes to it through the merits of Christ on the Cross and not without a certain mediation of the Church". This is Cardinal Robert Sarah speaking on the occasion of the presentation of his latest book Dio Esiste? (Does God Exist?) organised by La Nuova Bussola/Daily Compass.

Warning: artificial intelligence will guide our intentions

What if Artificial Intelligence understood our intentions and anticipated us in our choices? This is not science fiction, but a development already underway. And we really run the risk of having it replace us in our ethical choices as well.

It took California fires to cancel Biden’s meeting with Pope

Due to the severity of the fires in California, US President Biden has cancelled his trip to Italy, where he was due to meet the Pope today. But the seriousness of awarding a private audience from the Vatican to the leader of the most anti-life administration in American history still lingers.
