Giacomo Costa and Salesian Sr. Elena Massimi as undersecretaries of the General Secretariat of the Synod for five-year terms.

A Contribution to the Discussion”. Costa was then managing editor of the journal. The study argued that legal recognition of …More

NEWS SHORTS-PUTIN IS A MADMAN! Putin’s Ceasefire Demands for Ukraine and Europe These are nothing short of outrageous: Putin said that Russia will cease hostilities only if NATO withdraws its forces, weaponry, and military infrastructure from Eastern Europe, returning its military presence to the state it was in as of 1997. Every nation east of Germany has to leave NATO. [Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Repub, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, N. Macedonia, Bulgaria.] That’s not going to happen. Putin is also demanding the complete withdrawal of NATO troops and assets from Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland; A halt to the deployment of new bases, missile defense systems, and offensive weaponry in these countries; And written guarantees from NATO member states that the Alliance will not expand further to the east.

Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández will not accompany Pope Leo XIV on his upcoming visit to South America, including Fernández’s native Argentina. In an interview with Vida Nueva on October 29, Fernández explained that he would prefer not to go because the trip is too long and he has pressing matters to attend to. He gave the lame excuse that he dislikes being away from work for more than five days and plans to visit Argentina separately shortly afterward. Curiously, Fernández stressed that the central figure of the visit would be “not even Pope Francis, but Pope Leo meeting with his people.” Fernández also revealed that he had met with Leo XIV in a private audience on October 29. He reported that the Pope was in “excellent shape” following his cancer surgery and said he left the meeting completely reassured about his health, confident that “we can continue to look forward to a long pontificate.” He added that Leo was “redoubling his initiative” in addressing challenges. Meanwhile, …More
Algerian Cardinal doubles down: "We have better things to do than to convert". Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers has responded to Bishop Robert Barron’s correction of his statement that the Catholic Church is “not there to convert” people. Instead of withdrawing his statement, Cardinal Vesco reaffirmed his position. In a Facebook post on October 30, Vesco admitted that “the Church that gives life to me is the Church of Saint John Paul II and the interreligious declaration of Assisi (1986)". The Cardinal believes in "the Church of Pope Francis, with the Abu Dhabi Declaration on Human Fraternity, signed with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar on February 4, 2019; and the Church of Pope Leo, with his visit to Algeria and his silent prayer at the Great Mosque of Algiers, shoulder to shoulder with the rector." Furthermore, Cardinal Vesco repeated his position on conversion: “Yes, I believe that the believers of the three monotheistic religions have better things to do than to seek to convert one …More

A court in Tarnów has convicted Bishop Andrzej Jeż of failing to promptly report abuse by two priests, the first such criminal case against a Polish bishop. The diocese will appeal.
A historic verdict in Poland. For the first time, a Catholic bishop has been convicted for failing to report clerical homosexual abuse. Bishop Andrzej Jeż has announced that he will appeal the verdict. Today, October 29, a court in Tarnów convicted Bishop Jeż, 63, of failing to promptly report allegations of child homosexual abuse involving two priests in his diocese. It is the first conviction of a serving Catholic bishop in Poland for such an offense. The court sentenced Bishop Jeż to two years of restricted liberty, requiring him to surrender 25% of his monthly salary to a foundation supporting abused children. He must also pay 20,000 złoty into a victims' assistance fund. The case concerns allegations against two priests, Stanisław P. and Tomasz K. One priest was implicated in the abuse of at least 95 boys between 1987 and 2008. Church authorities had investigated allegations against Stanisław P. in the 2000s and dismissed him from the clergy in 2013. In July 2017, Poland introduced …More

Clandestine @WarClandestine Who are the big Democrat candidates dominating the airwaves? Ilhan, Mamdani, and El-Sayed. What do they have in common? They are all connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is not a new problem. The Democrat Party has been compromised by the Muslim Brotherhood for quite some time. Where’s Huma? Who’s she married to? Soros? What did they really find on Weiner’s laptop? Huma was not Hillary’s aide, she was Hillary’s handler. Hillary is just a puppet, operating on behalf of the foreign adversaries who control her and the rest of the Democrat Party.
