Leo XIV. želi beatificirati kontroverznog svećenika za AIDS Don Luigija. Leo XIV je otvorio put prema beatifikaciji Luigija Di Liegra (1928.–1997.), rimskog svećenika koji je želio biti blizu ljudima koji su umirali od AIDS-a. Papa je to objavio u petak tijekom biskupske skupštine u Lateranskoj bazilici. Rekao je da je "rado odobrio" korake potrebne za početak biskupske istrage o životu, kreposti i ugledu svetosti Luigija Di Liegra. Najkontroverznija epizoda Di Liegrovog djelovanja dogodila se 1988. godine. Kao čelnik rimskog Caritasa, inzistirao je na otvaranju doma za osobe oboljele od AIDS-a u Villa Glori u Parioliju — bogatoj rimskoj četvrti. Bio je to vrhunac panike zbog AIDS-a. HIV se posebno povezivao s korisnicima droga i homoseksualcima. Stanovnici su prosvjedovali. Navodno je prikupljeno više od tisuću potpisa protiv doma. Rim je privremeno odgodio otvaranje; demonstranti su marširali protiv projekta, dok su izviđači, ekolozi i drugi organizirali protudemonstraciju u znak …Још
Jean-Marie Vianney ~ ‘SERMONS OF THE CURE OF ARS – EXCERPTS’ ~ ‘THEY ARE FOR THE WORLD etc., …’ ~ pages 15-16; part I [Saint John Vianney, XVIII-XIX Century, (aged 73), born: Dardilly, Lyonnais, Kingdom of France/died: Ars-sur-Formans, Ain, French Empire, Cure d’Ars, French Priest, patron saint of parish priests] THEY ARE FOR THE WORLD One section, and perhaps it is the largest section, of people everywhere are wholly wrapped up in the things of this world. And of this large number there are those who are content to have suppressed all feeling of religion, all thought of another life, who have done everything in their power to efface the terrible thought of the judgment which one day they will have to undergo. They employ all their wiles, and often their wealth, during the course of their lives to attract to their way of life as many people as they can. They no longer believe in anything. They even take a pride in making themselves out to be more impious and incredulous than they really …Још
"Voltaire, in the course of a dinner given one day for his friends -- that is, for the impious -- rejoiced that of all those present, there was not one who believed in religion. And yet he himself did believe, as he was to show at the hour of his death. Then he demanded with great earnestness that a priest should be brought to him that he might make his peace with God."

Leo XIV wants to beatify controversial Aids-Priest Don Luigi. Leo XIV has opened the way towards the beatification of Luigi Di Liegro (1928–1997), a Roman priest who wanted to be close to people dying of AIDS. The pope made the announcement on Friday during the diocesan assembly in the Basilica of St John Lateran. He said he had “gladly approved” the steps necessary to begin the diocesan investigation into Di Liegro’s life, virtues and reputation for holiness. The most controversial episode of Di Liegro’s ministry came in 1988. As head of Caritas Rome, he insisted on opening a home for people with AIDS at Villa Glori in Parioli — an affluent Roman neighbourhood. It was the height of the AIDS panic. HIV was associated particularly with drug users and homosexuals. Residents protested. More than a thousand signatures were reportedly collected against the home. Rome temporarily delayed the opening; demonstrators marched against the project, while scouts, environmentalists and others organised …Још
