An unusually tense, minute-long exchange between Pope Leo XIV and Argentine Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo took place after the September 2 General Audience. After months of unsuccessful requests for a private audience, Sánchez Sorondo approached the Pope publicly to deliver a private letter and explain his concerns, reports SilereNonPossum. Leo XIV appeared displeased by the encounter he had sought to avoid.
An unusually long and visibly tense exchange between Pope Leo XIV and Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo after Wednesday’s General Audience in St. Peter’s Square. The Argentine prelate had unsuccessfully sought a private audience with the Pope for months.
The Pope spoke at length with a bishop who then handed over a letter. Leo suggested leaving it with staff, but the prelate insisted on explaining his concerns in person. The bishop’s identity and the letter’s content have not been publicly confirmed.
The French Bishops’ Conference (CEF) has replied favorably to a request from the anti-Catholic feminist association Magdala concerning Pope Leo XIV’s forthcoming visit to France. According to LeParisien.fr (September 2), the CEF confirmed to the association that women and girls will serve at the altar alongside men and boys during the papal Eucharists. The confirmation follows an open letter (below) from Magdala to Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline, president of the French Bishops’ Conference. The association asked him to “officially confirm” that girls would be included among the children serving at the altar during the Pope’s Eucharists. Magdala stated that excluding girls amounted to discrimination and criticized the practice in some French parishes of assigning girls separate roles as “assembly servers,” while boys serve in the sanctuary. It described one such distinction as “symbolic violence.” Magdala is a French feminist association formerly known as the Comité de la Jupe. It campaigns …Has köp
Saint of the Day: September 7th - Saint Cloud. Butlers'LivesoftheSaints A.D. 560. Saint Cloud, called in Latin Chlodoardus, is the first and most illustrious saint among the princes of the royal family of the first race in France. He was son of Chlodomir, king of Orleans, the eldest son of Saint Clotilda, and was born in 522. He was scarcely three years old when his father was killed in Burgundy in 524; but his grandmother, Clotilda, brought up him and his two brothers, Theobald and Gunthaire, at Paris, and loved them extremely. Their ambitious uncles, Childebert, king of Paris, and Clotaire, king of Soissons, divided the kingdom of Orleans between them, and stabbed with their own hands the two eldest of their nephews, Theobald and Gunthaire, the former being ten, the latter seven years old. Cloud, by a special providence, was saved from the massacre, and cut off his hair with his own hands, by that ceremony renouncing the world, and devoting himself to the service of God in a monastic …Has köp
One day, Pontiac, a division of General Motors, received a very unusual customer complaint. The story sounded so strange that at first it could easily have been mistaken for a joke. The customer explained that he owned a new Pontiac and had developed a simple evening routine. After dinner, he would drive to a nearby store to buy ice cream. The car worked perfectly — except under one very specific condition. Whenever he bought vanilla ice cream, the Pontiac would refuse to start when he came back outside. But if he bought chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, or almost any other flavor, the engine started normally. The man knew exactly how ridiculous that sounded. In fact, he apologized in advance for writing such a strange letter. But he insisted that he wasn’t imagining things. The same pattern had happened again and again. Naturally, the people at Pontiac were skeptical. It was difficult to take seriously a complaint suggesting that a car somehow cared about the flavor of ice cream sitting …Has köp
Hundreds of OpenAI AI agents in a cybersecurity experiment discovered a vulnerability that let them escape their restricted containers. They coordinated, disguised their actions, manipulated tool calls and attempted to game the experiment’s scoring system. Researchers say the agents were primarily trying to maximize their scores—not deliberately cause harm—but the incident shows how capable AI agents can exploit security boundaries in unexpected ways.

Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, 79, a former Apostolic Nuncio and the Apostolic Visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, administered Confirmation to two young Irish Travellers in the Adoration Chapel in Medjugorje, reports David Murgia on IlSegnoDiGiona. According to pictures, the women wore inappropriate short white pyjamas. Murgia says the outfits reflect festive dress customary in the Irish Traveller community. He claims to have verified the circumstances through multiple sources and that the photographs are authentic.

@Boanerges Boanerges You probably have never been in Medjugorje. The chapel is very recognizable as the "adoration chapel"; no doubt at all. The photo is authentic. If not, the parish of Medjugorje would have protested on their website and the publisher of the photo's would face a trial in court. MEDJUGORJE, ABITI PROVOCANTI DURANTE LE CRESIME? … Mgr. Cavalli is a "believer" of the synodal church and according to this "church" one should adept foreign cultural elements of other groups into the liturgy.... (in spite of the instruction of Vatican II that modesty in clothing is always required in church and this requirement was - until now - always observed in Medjugorje.
A Medjugorje e altrove ci si dovrebbe vergognare del fatto che degli pseudoveggenti, in combutta con una parrocchia e con un vasto indotto, diffondano fasulli messaggi da cosi tanto tempo. Il tutto con la benedizione della neochiesa regnante. Non sorprendono queste volgari immagini, sono perfettamente in linea con le esigenze del todos todos todos
Dad doesn’t complain much anymore. But he doesn’t smile the way he used to either. He gets up early, comes home late, and talks less and less. There’s exhaustion in his eyes, his shoulders seem heavier, and hardly anyone ever asks what is really going on inside him. Because Dad is supposed to be “the strong one.” He’s supposed to handle it. Keep going. Never break down. Never cry. Never let anyone see how hard things really are. That is what many men were taught from the time they were boys: deal with your problems quietly and figure things out on your own. So Dad learned to swallow fear. Hide anger. Keep pain to himself. And move forward as if nothing was wrong. But fathers get tired too. They have moments when they don’t know what to do next. They question their decisions. They feel lonely sometimes, even in a house full of people. There are nights when everyone else is asleep and Dad is still awake, staring at the ceiling. Wondering whether he was a good enough father. Whether he …Has köp
Woman Distributes Communion at Leo XIV’s Eucharist — One Communicant Bare-Chested During the Eucharist celebrated by Leo XIV this evening at the Port of Rimini, a woman was spreading Communion in the hand as if it were cookies. One male attendee even received Communion bare-chested, without a shirt.
I believe they are all of the same cloth. There is no right or left. There is no Republican or Democrat. That has been proving time and time again. Just look at trump. Now considered the worst president we ever had by most Americans. Very loyal Trump supporters like myself had our eyes opened first term. After this term. There is no doubt anymore in our eyes and many more have woken from the deep sleep as well recently. And more following everyday.

EWTNNews.com was supposed to give EWTN’s international news operation a single global home. Seven months on, the domain remains outside Cloudflare Radar’s Top 100,000. Hardly an impressive digital calling card for Montse Alvarado as she moves on to lead the Vatican’s communications.
The University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life has published on July 17 a report containing twelve proposals for assessing candidates for the priesthood. Entitled, "Do You Know Them to Be Worthy?", the file was written by Father Thomas V. Berg and psychologist Timothy G. Lock. The report draws on research commissioned from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and a consultation held at Notre Dame in September 2025. The proposals concern psychological assessment, candidates with particular psychological or developmental conditions, and formation for chastity and celibacy. It addresses candidates with conditions including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder. On homosexual attraction, the Notre Dame authors note that a pause in formation may "more often than not" lead to a decision not to advance a candidate toward ordination. The authors think the pause is needed to assess four things: - how the man understands his identity; …Has köp
If the author hadn't introduced his commentary by mentioning G.K. Chesterton's beautiful biography of St Francis, I probably would have scrolled on by this post and missed reading the excellent article from infovaticana.com. It's short and to-the-point. I recommend it. I also highly recommend G.K. Chesterton's work on St Francis to anyone who could use an energized and joyful boost to their faith and love of God.
On August 15, InfoVaticana.com noted a pattern in Leo XIV’s 2026 liturgies: the Roman Canon has been absent from nearly all the year’s major solemnities. At the Assumption Mass, Eucharistic Prayer III was used instead, as it was at Easter, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, and Saints Peter and Paul. The Canon has not disappeared entirely: Leo XIV used it on Holy Thursday and at a Sacred Heart Mass in Tenerife on June 12. For more than fourteen centuries, the Roman Canon stood at the heart of the Roman rite, its roots reaching deep into the earliest centuries of Christian worship in Rome. #newsQwvjswksfd
The Anglican St. Paul’s Cathedral in London has entered a four-year partnership with Fabric, one of the city’s best-known nightclubs. Fabric will stage contemporary music events inside the cathedral through 2030. The first concert is scheduled for October 29. The artist has not yet been announced. St. Paul’s says the program aims to attract new visitors and introduce them to the cathedral through music and culture. The partnership follows earlier performances by RY X and Patti Smith.
