”Globalismen har redan misslyckats med att tillgodose folkets behov. Den tjänar endast den finansiella eliten”, sade Marian Eleganti, emeritus hjälpbiskop i Chur, till LaNuovaBq den 13 augusti. När det gäller muslimsk invandring sade han: ”Personligen är jag övertygad om att islam inte kan integreras i våra politiska system som är präglade av kristendomen. Det finns inget apolitiskt islam som enbart består av ett inre religiöst liv. Det är ett system för dominans. Ju mer övertygade dess anhängare är om detta, desto svårare är det att integrera. Resultatet blir parallella samhällen.” Han kritiserade också kyrkans inställning till obegränsad invandring: ”Den katolska kyrkan bör inte inta en idealistisk hållning … [som] bortser från de mycket verkliga sociala problemen som är förknippade med obegränsad invandring.”
Priest Remains at Altar as Earthquake Shakes Bogotá Chapel: A priest remained at the altar as an earthquake struck during the Consecration at a Mass in the Roman rite at the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Bogotá on August 10. The altar server and congregation also remained in place as the church and hanging lamps shook. The Mass continued throughout the tremor.
This is how the priest and faithful attending the Traditional Latin Mass reacted when an earthquake struck in the midst of the Consecration. The footage was recorded at the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Bogotá.
Worse than Germany: Cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi of Tokyo has welcomed the Japanese government's plan to promote "understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity", which was approved on 16 June. The plan involves education and "awareness initiatives" in government, schools, and workplaces, as well as measures to combat "discrimination" against homosexuals. In an interview with UcaNews.com on June 17, Cardinal Kikuchi described the government’s decision as “meaningful”, stating that it had clearly articulated a policy intended to foster a "deeper understanding of sexual minorities". And: "An inclusive community that welcomes everyone is not just an attitude; it is the first step towards building the world that God calls us to create." The cardinal's latest remarks are consistent with his longstanding homosex activism. Tokyo Archdiocese has organised monthly homosexual Eucharists. In 2023, he contributed to the book LGBT and Christianity, promoted by the 'Catholic HIV/AIDS Desk'. …Meira
Nyt apostolat for den romerske ritus i Canada: Instituttet for Den Gode Hyrde (IBP) har med tilladelse fra ærkebiskop Guy Desrochers oprettet et nyt apostolat for den traditionelle romerske ritus i Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Den første messe blev fejret den 19. juli. IBP blev grundlagt i 2006 af fem tidligere præster fra St. Pius X-selskabet (SSPX/FSSPX). Dette synes at være dets første grundlæggelse i Canada.

Today, Bishop Emeritus Christopher Saunders, 76, of Broome was convicted of 13 homosexual offences against two young Indigenous men in Western Australia. A jury in the District Court of Western Australia found Saunders guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual penetration without consent. The jury acquitted him on six other charges. The offences for which Saunders was convicted occurred between 2008 and 2019, while he was serving as Bishop of Broome. Saunders was also convicted of offences against a second man, including sexual penetration without consent. The jury deliberated for approximately seven hours before returning the verdicts. Earlier in the trial, the judge instructed the jury that it was not necessary to return verdicts on seven charges and to disregard them because there was insufficient evidence to convict. Saunders pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied the allegations. He did not give evidence during the trial. He is due to face a sentencing …Meira
Att inte störa de politiska makthavarna bakom Frankrikes lag om dödshjälp? Emeritusbiskop Dominique Rey berättade för TribuneChrétienne.com om det enda han beklagar när det gäller Leo XIV:s besök i Frankrike den 25–28 september: påvens ”mycket fullspäckade program” lämnar ingen tid att besöka människor i livets slutskede eller på palliativavdelningar. Ändå innehåller Leo XIV:s schema flera andra möten, däribland ett med överlevare från sexuella övergrepp begångna av präster. Samtidigt är Frankrike nära att legalisera eutanasi.

Today, Leo XIV sent a prerecorded video message to the 70th-anniversary assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando. LCWR is the largest association of leaders of Catholic women religious in the United States. Its members are generally the superiors of congregations of sisters. The video was shown to an overwhelmingly elderly gathering, with scarcely a religious habit or young face in sight. Religious to Become “Experts in Synodality” Leo XIV said that all Christians are called to be “formed in a synodal Church”. He continued: “In a special way, those in religious life are called to become experts in synodality due to the opportunities afforded by community life to practice it.” Then, he praised the assembly's planned “synodal method of listening, discussion and discernment,” expressing the hope that through such “fraternal and receptive dialogue” the sisters would be able to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying” about “the present and future of consecrated …Meira
Mónica Astorga tilbragte næsten 40 år som nonne i den barfodede karmeliterorden i Argentina og blev priorinde for sit kloster i Neuquén. Hun blev internationalt kendt for sit arbejde med transvestitter på opfordring af pave Frans. Astorga har i mellemtiden forladt klosteret og uddannet sig til frisør. Vatikanet godkendte formelt hendes udtræden af de barfodede karmelitter i 2024. Hun betragter sig »stadig« som troende – dog uden at deltage regelmæssigt i eukaristien. Langvarig forbindelse til Bergoglio Hendes forbindelse til Jorge Mario Bergoglio, den fremtidige pave Frans, begyndte meget tidligere. Astorga fortæller, at hun mødte ham, da han var jesuit i Buenos Aires i 1987, næsten to årtier før hun begyndte at arbejde med transvestitter. Hun beskrev senere Bergoglios støtte til hende som »ubetinget«. Begyndelsen på hendes arbejde med transvestitter Astorga begyndte at hjælpe transvestitter i 2006, efter at en af dem havde søgt hjælp i et sogn. Hendes klientel omfattede prostituerede,…Meira
"Catholic" Governor Removes Abortion Limits: Massachusetts has removed its gestational limit on abortion. This means that abortions can legally occur until close to birth. Democratic Governor Maura Healey, a "Catholic", signed the law on August 10. Massachusetts bishops opposed the legislation, but no canonical penalties, including excommunication, have followed. Healey was also received by Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2024.

I dag skickade Leo XIV ett förinspelat videomeddelande till 70-årsjubileumsmötet för Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) i Orlando. LCWR är den största sammanslutningen av ledare för katolska ordenskvinnor i USA. Dess medlemmar är i allmänhet föreståndare för systerkongregationer. Videon visades för en övervägande äldre församling, där det knappt syntes några ordensdräkter eller unga ansikten. Ordensfolk ska bli ”experter på synodalitet” Leo XIV sade att alla kristna är kallade att ”formas i en synodal kyrka”. Han fortsatte: ”På ett särskilt sätt är de som lever i ordensliv kallade att bli experter på synodalitet tack vare de möjligheter som gemenskapslivet ger att utöva den.” Därefter berömde han den planerade ”synodala metoden med lyssnande, diskussion och urskiljning” som församlingen skulle tillämpa, och uttryckte förhoppningen att systrarna genom en sådan ”broderlig och mottaglig dialog” skulle kunna ”urskilja vad den Helige Ande säger” om ”det helgade livets nutid och …Meira
Mónica Astorga spent almost 40 years as a Discalced Carmelite nun in Argentina and became prioress of her convent in Neuquén. She became internationally known for her work with transvestites because of Pope Francis' encouragement. Astorga meanwhile left the convent and trained in hairdressing. The Vatican formally accepted her departure from the Discalced Carmelites in 2024. She “still” considers herself a believer – yet without attending a Eucharist regularly. Long Connection with Bergoglio Her connection with Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the future Pope Francis, began much earlier. Astorga says she met him when he was a Jesuit in Buenos Aires in 1987, nearly two decades before she began working with transvestites. She later described Bergoglio's support for her as “unconditional.” Beginning Her Work with Transvestites Astorga began assisting transvestites in 2006, after one such guy sought help in a parish. Her clientele included prostitutes, people living with HIV, and impoverished or …Meira

I dag ble emeritusbiskop Christopher Saunders (76) fra Broome dømt for 13 homoseksuelle overgrep mot to unge urbefolkningsmenn i Vest-Australia. En jury ved distriktsretten i Vest-Australia fant Saunders skyldig i 12 tilfeller av uanstendig omgang og ett tilfelle av seksuell penetrering uten samtykke. Juryen frikjente ham for seks andre tiltalepunkter. Forbrytelsene som Saunders ble dømt for, fant sted mellom 2008 og 2019, mens han var biskop i Broome. Saunders ble også dømt for lovbrudd mot en annen mann, blant annet seksuell penetrering uten samtykke. Juryen rådslo i omtrent syv timer før de avga kjennelsene. Tidligere i rettssaken instruerte dommeren juryen om at det ikke var nødvendig å avgi kjennelser på syv tiltalepunkter og å se bort fra dem, fordi det ikke forelå tilstrekkelige bevis til å dømme ham. Saunders erklærte seg ikke skyldig i tiltalepunktene og benektet anklagene. Han avga ikke vitneforklaring under rettssaken. Han skal møte til straffutmålingshøring 21. september. …Meira
Værre end Tyskland: Kardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi fra Tokyo har udtrykt tilfredshed med den japanske regerings plan om at fremme »forståelsen for seksuel orientering og kønsidentitet«, som blev vedtaget den 16. juni. Planen omfatter uddannelse og »oplysningsinitiativer« i regeringen, på skoler og arbejdspladser samt foranstaltninger til bekæmpelse af »diskrimination« mod homoseksuelle. I et interview med UcaNews.com den 17. juni beskrev kardinal Kikuchi regeringens beslutning som »meningsfuld« og udtalte, at den klart havde formuleret en politik, der har til formål at fremme en »dybere forståelse af seksuelle minoriteter«. Og: »Et inkluderende samfund, der byder alle velkommen, er ikke blot en holdning; det er det første skridt mod at opbygge den verden, som Gud opfordrer os til at skabe.« Kardinalens seneste udtalelser er i tråd med hans mangeårige aktivisme for homoseksuelle.

Världens äldste trappistmunk, 108 år, som överlevde den kommunistiska förföljelsen, har avlidit. Fader Benedict Chao, världens äldste trappistmunk, avled den 31 juli på klostret Our Lady of Joy på ön Lantau i Hongkong, 108 år gammal. Chao föddes i Hebei, Kina, 1918, trädde in i klosterlivet 1941 och prästvigdes 1949. Han tillhörde en generation kinesiska trappister vars kloster förstördes under den kommunistiska förföljelsen. Efter att ha flytt från det kinesiska fastlandet bodde Chao och hans medmunkar en tid i Kanada och USA innan de återuppbyggde sin klostergemenskap i Hongkong.

The Archdiocese of Utrecht has rejected as false rumours that Cardinal Willem Eijk, 73, could have asked Pope Leo XIV during an audience on Monday to accept his early resignation as Archbishop. “These reports are false. He has not offered his resignation,” the archdiocese told the Dutch newspaper Katholiek Nieuwsblad on Wednesday. An archdiocesan spokesman added that there was no basis for such speculation. The audience attracted attention because Eijk has experienced health problems in recent months and didn't attend the consistories in January and June. The archdiocese also provided an update on the cardinal’s health. “It is known that Cardinal Eijk struggled with health problems last winter,” the spokesman said. His recovery had taken longer than initially hoped, but was now progressing well. According to the archdiocese, Eijk is expected to resume his duties fully on September 1. #newsKxqihmxlwe
