Another opportunity to call for Jimmy Lai’s release
Trump and Xi Jinping are due to meet in the US on 24 September.

Syrian Catholics – Pope helps to remove the patriarch
The first effects of the motu proprio Mutua Concordia on the Eastern Churches can be seen in the standoff between Ignace Youssif III Younan and his bishops.

Following his interview with the Italian bishops daily newspaper Avvenire, the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV) reiterated his support for a law on assisted suicide that would prevent a worse one, with even more clarity to the national newspaper Il Corriere.
