Cardinal Zuppi backs teaching Islam in Catholic religion classes. On October 21, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, the president of the Italian bishops, presented 11 educational materials about Islam for use in Catholic religion classes in Italian schools. Zuppi warned of "dangerous newspaper headlines, dangerous in terms of Islamophobia, dangerous." "The future is dialogue," he emphasized. "The opposite also applies: if you don't talk, you fall behind. he world moves forward, and you're the one who falls behind, right?" Speaking about religion classes, he said that "we must not teach catechism," adding: "This is very important. It's not that someone else tells us this; we ourselves say that catechism must not be taught." The materials, titled "Sheets for Understanding Islam", were developed by a team composed of equal numbers of Christian and Muslim scholars.
Cardinale Zuppi (21.10.2026): "Ecco, io ricordo che cos'è l'insegnamento della religione cattolica, perché io ho insegnato religione cattolica per sette anni e, se c'avevo l'unica cosa chiara, era che non bisognava fare catechismo. E questo è molto importante. Cioè, non è che ce lo dice qualcuno: noi diciamo che non bisogna fare catechismo."

SAINT ANTHONY MARY CLARET - October 24 Claretian Archbishop and Founder (1807-1870) St. Anthony Claret founded the Claretians. Their schools and libraries trace back to his tireless missions. He was also a reformer who championed the poor and carried out the Church's social teaching. St. Anthony was ordained in Spain in 1835 after recovering from an illness. He preached successfully and advocated for the poor. When secular parties made threats on his life, his superiors sent him abroad. Upon returning, he founded the Claretians. St. Anthony was elected archbishop of Cuba because of his apostolic brilliance. Before returning to Spain, he survived an assassination attempt. His reforms included public education, credit unions and racial equality. In 1857, St. Anthony was appointed confessor to Queen Isabella of Spain. While fulfilling his duties, he built hospitals, colleges and other institutes. Neither did forced exile prevent him from preaching and pursuing missions for education. He …More
UK Home Office links "Christian extremism" to "traditionalism". Attachment to traditional Christian values and opposition to multiculturalism, immigration and liberalism are identified as features associated with “Christian extremism” in a leaked British Home Office report exposed by journalist Steven Edginton on Substack on October 22. The document, produced by the Home Office's Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU), states: “Traditionalism is highly valued within ChE [Christian Extremist] ideology.” It also proposes government partnerships with churches to promote “theological resilience” against the use of Christian teachings to justify hatred or violence. The report was produced to inform Britain's Prevent counter-radicalisation programme. Remarkably, the report itself acknowledges that the threat of violence from “Christian extremists” in Britain is “low” and that no terrorist attack in the UK has been assessed as having Christian extremism as its primary motivating …More
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 13,1-9. Some people told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. He said to them in reply, "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did! Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them --do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!" And he told them this parable: "There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, 'For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. (So) cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?' He said to him in reply, 'Sir, leave …More
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Lukas - Lk 13,1-9. Zu jener Zeit kamen einige Leute und berichteten Jesus von den Galiläern, deren Blut Pilatus mit dem ihrer Opfertiere vermischt hatte. Und er antwortete ihnen: Meint ihr, dass diese Galiläer größere Sünder waren als alle anderen Galiläer, weil das mit ihnen geschehen ist? Nein, sage ich euch, vielmehr werdet ihr alle genauso umkommen, wenn ihr nicht umkehrt. Oder jene achtzehn Menschen, die beim Einsturz des Turms am Schiloach erschlagen wurden – meint ihr, dass sie größere Schuld auf sich geladen hatten als alle anderen Einwohner von Jerusalem? Nein, sage ich euch, vielmehr werdet ihr alle ebenso umkommen, wenn ihr nicht umkehrt. Und er erzählte ihnen dieses Gleichnis: Ein Mann hatte in seinem Weinberg einen Feigenbaum gepflanzt; und als er kam und nachsah, ob er Früchte trug, fand er keine. Da sagte er zu seinem Winzer: Siehe, jetzt komme ich schon drei Jahre und sehe nach, ob dieser Feigenbaum Früchte trägt, und finde nichts. Hau …More

The Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage will tomorrow be barred from entering St. Peter’s Basilica, said Christian Marquant, president of the French organization Paix Liturgique, at today’s event at the Augustinianum in Rome. He added that Pope Leo XIV had described last year’s Mass at St. Peter’s as “instrumentalized,” reports MessaInLatino.it. This Papal remark was made during a December audience in which Bishop Athanasius Schneider raised the widespread desire for the Roman Rite with Leo XIV. “Perhaps he was annoyed by the large turnout or the extensive press coverage,” Marquant speculated. “And indeed, this year permission to celebrate Mass at St. Peter’s has been refused!” Marquant then announced breaking news: “Not only have we been denied permission to celebrate Mass, but we have even been barred from entering the basilica, without so much as a semblance of justification. We shall see what happens tomorrow.” The decision was communicated in recent days in a letter from the Vatican …More

Speaking to Corriere.it on October 22, Rev. Giannicola Maria Simone, 65, said he was simply returning the teenager’s gesture and saw no reason to apologize.

En Italie, lors des manifestations du 18 octobre, une racaille s’en prend à un curé en lui faisant un doigt d'honneur. Le curé ne se laisse pas faire et lui renvoie la pareille. Ces racailles veulent la fin de notre civilisation et du christianisme.

Letter to the Ephesians 4,7-16. Brothers and sisters: Grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore, it says: "He ascended on high and took prisoners captive; he gave gifts to men." What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended into the lower (regions) of the earth? The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming. Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way …More
Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Epheser 4,7-16. Brüder! Jeder von uns empfing die Gnade in dem Maß, wie Christus sie ihm geschenkt hat. Deshalb heißt es: Er stieg hinauf zur Höhe und erbeutete Gefangene, er gab den Menschen Geschenke. Wenn es heißt: Er stieg aber hinauf, was bedeutet dies anderes, als dass er auch zur Erde herabstieg? Derselbe, der herabstieg, ist auch hinaufgestiegen über alle Himmel, um das All zu erfüllen. Und er setzte die einen als Apostel ein, andere als Propheten, andere als Evangelisten, andere als Hirten und Lehrer, um die Heiligen für die Erfüllung ihres Dienstes zuzurüsten, für den Aufbau des Leibes Christi, bis wir alle zur Einheit im Glauben und der Erkenntnis des Sohnes Gottes gelangen, zum vollkommenen Menschen, zur vollen Größe, die der Fülle Christi entspricht. Wir sollen nicht mehr unmündige Kinder sein, ein Spiel der Wellen, geschaukelt und getrieben von jedem Widerstreit der Lehrmeinungen, im Würfelspiel der Menschen, in Verschlagenheit, die in die …More

Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer {October 23} Short Lives of the Saints (Volume 3 - September — December) By Rev Henry Gibson October 23 - Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer (Pages 160-163) Forgotten Catholic Books Feast of the Holy Redeemer A redeemer is one who pays the debt of another, to deliver him from an unfortunate situation from which he finds himself unable to be liberated without aid. As an example, we can recall the religious Orders whose members dedicated themselves to the redemption of captives, paying for their release or offering to serve in the place of those who had become slaves of the Moors. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of all mankind. From what misfortune did He free us? The mystery of original sin and man's enslavement to the influence of the demons, is the key to the other mysteries of our religion, although it is the most difficult for us to grasp. (Cf. Book of Job) Our Lord has re-established man in a state more enviable than that of our first father, …More
Fest des Allerheiligsten Erlösers - Gedenktag: am 23. Oktober Das Fest des allerheiligsten Erlösers war ein katholisches liturgisches Fest. Es wird in Venedig als Festa del Redentore gefeiert. Es wird auch von den Redemptoristen gefeiert und wurde in der Stadt Rom gefeiert. Das Fest findet sich nur im besonderen Kalender einiger Diözesen und Ordensorden wieder und wird entweder am dritten Sonntag im Juli oder am 23. Oktober mit richtiger Messe und Amt gefeiert. In Venedig ist dieses Fest seit mehr als drei Jahrhunderten mit großer Feierlichkeit zu beobachten. Moroni in seinem "Dizionario" gibt einige interessante Daten über den Ursprung dieses Festes. 1576 brach in Venedig eine Pest aus, die in wenigen Tagen Tausende von Opfern verführte. Um diese Geißel abzuwenden, gelobte der Senat, dem Erlöser der Menschheit einen prächtigen Tempel zu errichten und dort jedes Jahr am dritten Sonntag im Juli öffentliche und feierliche Dankgottesdienste anzubieten. Kaum hatte die Pest aufgehört, als …More
