Cordes' testament: 'God's work in my life'

Vatican Revolution: yes to euthanasia and artificial insemination
The ban on euthanasia causes worse harm than good; green light to homologous fertilisation: these are the resounding statements contained in the book La gioia della vita (The Joy of Life), a joint reflection of the theologians of the Pontifical Academy for Life (Pav). And even the Bible can be corrected. It’s an unapologetic declaration of heresy.
"Life", Pope Francis' autobiography admits problems with Benedict XVI
The "bombshell book" turns out to be deja vu, judging by the anecdotes released by Corriere della Sera and already recounted in various interviews. Paradoxically, the only novelty concerns the relationship with Ratzinger, which dismantles the narrative about the 'wise grandfather'.
For Cardinal Zuppi Lent parallels Ramadan
The Archbishop of Bologna, President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, writes an all encompassing message to "brothers and sisters followers of Islam". He weaves an irenic parallelism between Islamic fasting and Lenten fasting. But, forgets that it is Christ who makes the difference.
Ratzinger’s defence of Tucho is Vatican media fake news
"Non-liturgical" blessings? To justify Fiducia supplicans the head of Vatican media pulls a document out of a hat about something else, creating a precedent that does not exist.

Freemasonry, Staglianò's doublespeak
Pressed by the Daily Compass article, the President of the Pontifical Academy of Theology publishes the speech he gave at the Milan conference on Church and Freemasonry. It’s even clearer now that he indicates Fiducia Supplicans as the solution for Freemasons.
Jesuits make clean sweep after Rupnik disaster
The dean of the Pontifical Oriental Institute, Father Ruyssen, sacked with immediate effect and sent away from Rome in the middle of the academic year is another sudden change and move. The Jesuits are shaking off 'difficult brethren'. It’s a repetition of the usual strategy: removing, instead of intervening.
Rupnik, former nun comes out: 'He took my virginity'
In a press conference Gloria Branciani denounces increasingly aggressive and blasphemous sexual demands. A decisive step to shed light on the case of the Slovenian priest, which casts a shadow on the transparency of the current pontificate.
