The 'Popess' of Canterbury, the culmination of the Anglican shipwreck.
DERIVATION

The 'Popess' of Canterbury, the culmination of the Anglican shipwreck.

The appointment of Sarah Mullally as Primate of England is the crowning glory of a church disfigured by the forced introduction of changes that some would also like to see in the Catholic Church. However, the safe harbour is the apostolic tradition. Newman's warning applies to Catholics too.

STRANGE FATE

Everyone defends Palestinians, but no one wants them

Since 1948, many have spoken in the name of the Palestinian cause, but it has always been exploited for other purposes, from anti-Israeli Arab countries to pro-Palestine supporters and the flotilla movement in recent days.

On the run interviews obscure Pope's role

Pope Francis's impromptu meetings with journalists are becoming more frequent: a mechanism that feeds on direct questions and ambiguous or problematic answers. However, if the papacy debases itself in the marketplace of ideas, it is confusion rather than faith that is nourished.

China attempts to tighten noose around Catholic Church in Hong Kong

The pro-Chinese wing of the Church (in Hong Kong and Rome) is pushing for the appointment of an auxiliary bishop in Hong Kong who will please Beijing. This is Peter Choy, who will meet the Pope on 4 October, alongside Bishop Emeritus Cardinal John Tong. Choy's appointment as bishop of Hong Kong was blocked five years ago, but the conditions are now more favourable to China.

Behind China’s calm façade storms brew over Taiwan.

Xi Jinping presents himself at the UN as a stable and reliable leader. However, he has maintained a belligerent stance towards Taiwan, which he wishes to reunify with China.

Gay Pride reveals its true colours: anti-Catholic hatred

After Cardinal Müller's comments on the 'rainbow jubilee', Gay Pride in the province of Brianza, northern Italy, stages a blasphemous parody of the Way of the Cross. It is a violation of the penal code and exposes the true face of the LGBT+ movement: hatred towards the Catholic Church.

The book interview with Pope Leo could have been avoided

Given the damage caused by Pope Francis's interviews, it is surprising that Pope Leo wanted to start by participating in a biographical interview project. The modalities are, to say the least, curious, and the response to the old abuse allegations leaves some gaps.

Pizzaballa: 'Israel's reasons do not justify Gaza'

While the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal join the countries that recognise the Palestinian state, two interviews with the Patriarch of Jerusalem shed light on the situation: the hatred fomenting between the parties makes any prospect of resolving the conflict in the future seem increasingly unlikely.

The European civil war: a bitter fruit of the exclusion of God

According to some experts, the conditions for a 'European civil war' exist today, with the birth of modern ideological states founded on despair at its origin.

A plea to Pope Leo to reaffirm the truth about the family

A clear message to put an end to doctrinal disorientation and the advance of the rainbow agenda in the Church. The request, which was addressed to Francis in 2015, fell on deaf ears, and has now been addressed to Leo XIV. He is faced with 'a legacy of confusion and division that is difficult to heal'.
