Rupnik case, endless shame for the Vatican
The Dicastery for Communication continues to re-propose the works of the former Slovenian Jesuit accused of serious sexual abuse, in defiance of Cardinal O'Malley's dispositions. And even in Bologna, Archbishop Zuppi has given the green light to the completion of the incriminated mosaics. In the fight against abuse this pontificate has no credibility.

‘Vaccines did not stop Covid’: increases bishops’ moral guilt
The Italian Medicines Agency's admission that anti-Covid vaccines were ineffective in preventing contagion reopens the question of their lawfulness. Including on the subservience of the pastors who, without asking questions, pushed for mass inoculation.
‘Sufferance does not redeem’: PAV anaesthetises Redemption

Martyrdom, a constitutive element of the Church
Jesus sends His apostles out like sheep among wolves, that is into a hostile world. Like the first disciples, also Christians today are called to publicly testify to the Lord’s name as they did in the past, even at the cost of martyrdom. Christians knowingly share Jesus’s cross and resurrection.
