Fernández's latest mess over the use of title 'Co-Redemptrix'
In response to journalist Diane Montagna, the Prefect of the CDF explained that the title of 'Co-Redemptrix' should no longer be used in liturgical texts or Vatican documents. However, it could still be used among friends after reading and understanding the 'Mater Populi Fidelis'. This is an incredible blunder which creates a rift within the Church. The case of the 'mutinous' Mariologists.
Vatican publishes doctrinal note to praise monogamy
One flesh, one wife and 156 paragraphs: the Doctrinal Note on the Unity of Marriage is a substantial text. “It is not a document on polygamy,” the prefect repeats, but the question resurfaces during the presentation.
Pope Leo puts Mitis Iudex back on track: 'Nullity in truth'
'No false mercy in canonical matrimonial trials': words that go against the current trend towards openness. Addressing the Roman Rota, Pope Leo does not disavow his predecessor's reform, but brings it back into line with Wojtyla and Ratzinger.
Abuse: the ghosts of Chiclayo haunt Pope Leo
A harsh statement from an alleged victim of sexual abuse in Peru challenges the dispensation from the priesthood granted by Pope Leo to Father Lute, the accused priest. This decision prevents the truth from being ascertained and justice from being done — a very poor decision.
- The full text of the statement is available here.
Chiclayo, the letter of accusation from the victims of abuse
Father Lute's dismissal from the clerical state is a slap in the face to victims of abuse. Here is the press release issued by one of the alleged victims of abuse in Chiclayo by a priest, who implicates the then Bishop Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV.
Pope Leo dreams of a synodal and interventionist CEI in Assisi
What will the Church in Italy be like in the Prevost era? Some clues can be found in the city of St Francis, where the Pope concluded the general assembly of Italian bishops by calling for intervention in the public arena. There were two indications of governance, and no U-turn on the Synod
For Cardinal Zuppi the end of Christianity is not a fact, but a dogma
It's not just over; the old Christian society is also a useless burden, according to the president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI). He announces the new 'good news' at the general assembly: secularisation will set you free. Thus a principle is elevated to a dogma, according to which the Church should allow the world to enlighten it on matters of faith.
Trans at Vatican lunch was not Pope Leo’s decision
The Washington Post reports that at the lunch for the poor, no transgender person sat next to the Pope. Seats were assigned at random, replies Cardinal Krajewski. It is not the Holy See that chooses participants by 'category', but perhaps those demanding gestures from Prevost typical of Bergoglio.
Asian bishops excommunicate pilgrims who visit Marian Naju shrine
The latest two pronouncements come from the bishops of Malaysia and Singapore. The continuing influx of pilgrims to the shrine, which was the site of alleged Marian apparitions in the 1980s and that were denied by the local bishop, is worrying Asian bishops.
Read Staglianò to understand opposition to Mary 'Coredentrix'.
The president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology unilaterally highlights the 'dissimilarity' between Mary and Christ. He deserves credit for bringing to light the intellectual leap underlying the Note on Marian Titles. Essentially, it is better to prevent anyone from taking the great things the Almighty has done for Christ’s mother too seriously.
Strickland shakes fellow bishops: Stop Father Martin
A known homosexual receives the sacrament of confirmation, and his partner is his godfather with the controversial Rainbow Jesuit. The Bishop Emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler has raised the case, reminding the US assembly of bishops that it is time to curb LGBT activism in the Church. However, some prefer to stand by and watch.
The ‘Prevost remedy’ for the Curia begins with Papal House
There has been controlled succession in the office that manages the papal agenda, with the appointment of an Augustinian as vice-regent. There are far more significant shake-ups in the Third Lodge, where Peña Parra's departure is imminent.
