James Martin SJ Wants the Church to Ordain [More] Homosexual Priests: Homosexual activist Fr James Martin SJ has called on Pope Leo XIV to remove the – largely unenforced – restrictions against "celibate homosexuals" to become priests. Fr Martin believes that "sexual orientation" alone should not stop a man from being ordained. He points to Pope Francis, who said there are already many "holy, healthy and celibate" homosexual priests. However, in 2005 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger concluded that men with deep-seated homosexual temptations should not enter the seminary because they lack the emotional maturity needed for lifelong celibacy.
German Balloon Mass with Female Dialogue Homily: On 22 July, a Eucharist in Munich to celebrate the Feast of St Mary Magdalene featured a woman performing a liturgical dance in a red dress. Another woman wearing an alb and a stole-like liturgical scarf delivered a dialogue homily with Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof and stood near the altar during the Eucharist. Red balloons were also used during the celebration.

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Saint of the Day, Monday, January 31, 1972 Saint Charbel Makhlouf (1828-1898) was beatified 5 December 1965 and canonized 9 October 1977. I noticed that Blessed Charbel Makhlouf’s biography is relatively poor because — I seem to glimpse — his story is one of the fully normal developments. Imagine someone writing the history of a country that developed perfectly in all its stages and reached its fullness normally, without any hindrance or trouble. However brilliant and magnificent, that story would fit into a little space. We can see that Blessed Charbel Makhlouf never faltered nor had any problem. As his countenance indicates, his sanctification was exceptional, powerful, and continual. If you can use this expression, he was a bulldozer of holiness. As his face shows, he faced the cross head on and corresponded until he dropped dead. I want to project his picture, so you understand that well. We realize that his sanctification must have occurred amid storms and …കൂടുതൽ
Young Catholics in Brazil are expressing a desire for deeper faith formation, greater emphasis on holiness, and well-celebrated liturgy, while also voicing frustration with what they see as an excessive focus on sociopolitical issues in the Church, according to a national survey presented to the Brazilian Bishops' Conference (CNBB). The 2025 survey, conducted by the CNBB's Episcopal Commission for Youth with academic partners, gathered responses from more than 11,000 Catholics aged 12 to 29 across Brazil. It used a voluntary online questionnaire rather than a representative random sample. According to the partial results (document below), holiness and the Christian faith were the most frequently cited topics of interest among respondents. Many also expressed a desire for stronger formation in Catholic teaching, greater emphasis on Scripture and the Eucharist, and well-celebrated liturgy. Asked what makes participation in the Church more difficult, respondents most often pointed to a lack …കൂടുതൽ
Archbishop Georg Gänswein, currently Nuncio to the Baltic States, praised Pope Leo XIV and U.S. President Donald Trump while attacking Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with DomRadio.de on July 22. Monsignor Gänswein said Pope Leo XIV has brought "a new sense of relief" to the Church. "Peace is the key word," he believes. "From his very first address, Pope Leo placed the peace of the Risen Christ at the center of his message." According to the nuncio, the Pope's emphasis on peace has [allegedly] transformed the atmosphere. "It has turned headwinds into tailwinds. Whether that wind will change again remains impossible to predict." Bond with Pope Benedict XVI Reflecting on his years alongside Benedict XVI, Archbishop Gänswein said their relationship developed from a professional one into a close personal friendship. "We not only worked together but also lived under one roof and spent every day together," he recalled. "During the ten years after his resignation, our relationship …കൂടുതൽ

The former Catholic seminary and boarding school in Bay Shore, New York, is set to become a Muslim boarding school, reports LiBn.com on July 15. The United American Muslim Association (UAMA) purchased the building for $5.2 million. The 6,500-square-metre centre, founded in 1926 by the Montfort Missionaries, was used to train priests before later serving as a retreat house. Pending approval of a zoning change, the new owners intend to establish an Islamic boarding school for up to 120 boys. According to its website, UAMA aims to provide an education in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. However, local residents have organised opposition to the proposal, with many displaying 'NO Boarding School' signs throughout the neighbourhood. Picture: Google street view, #newsAjnqxreavu
The Montfort fathers seem like they are shadow of their founder. I stopped going to their website after reading there that St. Luke's gossip is not really true, just a narrative.
We must learn to "dig"... Liturgy of Sunday, July 26 - XVII of Ordinary Time Dear brothers and sisters, the fear that hovers in the cultural, social, and political atmosphere of this confused and turbulent beginning of the third millennium could push many of our brothers and sisters to live superficially and disengagedly; it could push them to carve out their own small, protected space in which to take refuge and survive... In the passage from the Gospel of Matthew that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, July 26, Jesus reveals to us that there is a precious treasure hidden in the "field" of the world. That's why it is worth “getting out" of our “confort zone" to find it, for it is capable of making the hearts of those who possess it explode with joy for the new, surprising opportunities it offers and for the undisappointing hope it shows on the horizon. In fact, since God became incarnate in His Word made Man, the world no longer instills fear in us because it hides the treasure of His …കൂടുതൽ
Italian journalist Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatina.it is standing by his reporting on the Vatican's canonical trial of Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik after the Holy See denied reports that the judges had reached a decision. Yesterday, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni called claims of any judicial deliberation "absolutely unfounded." However, Casalini argues today that the Vatican refuted something his publication never claimed. His sources indicated that certain allegations had been removed from the proceedings because they lacked sufficient evidence or did not constitute offenses under Canon Law - not that a final verdict had been reached. "The question," Casalini writes, "is whether our report is unfounded, or whether the only unfounded claim - one we never made - is that a final judgment has already been reached." Casalini's most striking point concerns a recent conversation with Rupnik. He says a mutual acquaintance spoke with the former Jesuit about twenty days ago, during which Rupnik …കൂടുതൽ
VaticanNews.va – the Vatican's costly news portal with a modest online audience – published the Article “Assisted Reproduction: When AI Is Used Against Humans” on July 21 about the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The article treats the intrinsically evil IVF as an established form of "medically assisted reproduction" and focuses on the risks posed by automation. The author of the article is Davide Dionisi, who worked for more than 25 years at Radio Vaticana–Vatican News and is now Italy's Special Envoy for the Promotion of Freedom of Religion and the Protection of Religious Minorities. He relies throughout on comments from Laura Palazzani, a member of the Pontifical Academy for Life. Palazzani argues that technology should "support the clinical process" rather than replace the physician. She insists that doctors remain indispensable during procedures including "the retrieval and processing of gametes, in vitro fertilisation, and the culture …കൂടുതൽ
