Pope petitions for ceasefire during call with Putin
The Pope spoke with President Putin from his hospital room today, particularly highlighting the humanitarian crisis in the city of Oleshky.
Pope Leo XIV spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin today, urging a ceasefire to enable delivery of food and medicine and noting the Holy See’s efforts to promote dialogue and peace.
In his second phone conversation with Russia’s president, Pope Leo spoke this time from his recovery room at the Gemelli Hospital. According to the Vatican, during the conversation between the two men, Leo “expressed his deep concern about the grave humanitarian situation in the city of Oleshky, in the Kherson region.”

James Martin is the new face of the Francis-Leo Church — and conservatives are hosting him
The Ape of the Church is now on full display. The Napa Institute, a conservative Catholic bastion funded by wealthy orthodox donors, invited Fr. James Martin to carry the monstrance in a Eucharistic procession. One of the best-known conservative Catholic journalists gave him a soft interview to present his LGBT ideology to a conservative audience. The man who once embodied the progressive fringe is now being embraced by the very institutions that should be resisting him.
A man who discerned with the Jesuits has just released his testimony that he was rejected and told to seek counseling simply for criticizing Martin. Cardinals Sarah, Burke, Müller, and Bishop Paprocki once spoke clearly against him. Those voices are needed again, because since Leo, there has been only praise from the prelates.

Leo XIV-appointed bishop wants women to preach at Mass.
Bishop Beat Grögli of St. Gallen, Switzerland, has defended the practice of women delivering homilies at Mass, although canon law defines the homily as an inherent part of the liturgy.
Kath.ch reported on October 8 that Bishop Grögli told a group of women that this prohibited practice had existed in his diocese for nearly 50 years. He suggested that reversing the practice would be incomprehensible.
Grögli described the theological arguments against women preaching as “weak,” adding: “Honestly, I have never understood them.” He considers “the female perspective in preaching an enrichment.”
Asked whether his position constituted disobedience, he pointed to ongoing discussions with Rome.
Canon 767 §1 reserves the homily at Mass to priests and deacons. The Vatican's 2004 instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum states that lay homilies at Mass cannot acquire legitimacy through longstanding custom.

Card. Pablo Virgilio Siongco David (Philippines) at the Vatican Amoris laetitia summit, today:
"To discern concrete situations rather than begin with classifications, to accompany gradual growth, and to trust that grace can already be at work even in lives and relationships marked by weakness and incompleteness.”
How to understand Amoris Laetitia: “Not simply to ask how close families are to the ideal, but also how close the Church is willing to come to families in their actual struggles.”

Inclusion of adulterers and “persons identifying as LGBTQ” called for at the current Vatican meeting on Amoris Laetitia.
American Catholic moral theologian Prof. Julie Hanlon Rubio addressed the Vatican’s meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia on October 12.
Rubio recounted the case of an elderly woman with dementia who refused Communion because her husband had previously been married. The woman, she said, remembered that “she was not worthy to receive the Body of Christ.” Rubio presented the story as evidence that feelings of exclusion persist.
She also quoted Francis’s assertion that “the fact that … love [!] is imperfect doesn’t mean it’s false or unreal,” adding that human fragility is “not a problem to be solved but a fundamental element of our humanity to be integrated.”
Rubio again cited Francis: “No one can be condemned forever! It is not the logic of the Gospel!”
She said “this principle” should apply to “everyone.”
In a footnote, she specified whom she believed …

Cardinal notes “changing understandings of gender,” says Church must discern how to change.
At Leo XIV's meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia on October 8, Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão delivered a speech on the challenges facing families in Asia. He is the President of the Conference of Bishops of India.
Discussing changes in the “identity, nature and composition of the family,” the cardinal observed that “new forms of partnership and cohabitation are emerging, amid changing understandings of gender and relationships in urban settings.”
Reflecting on what the Church has learned from its pastoral work, Ferrão declared: “Pastoral work is itself a place of discernment. We don't arrive with ready-made answers. We discern together with families and, in doing so, we learn how the Church herself is being asked to change.”
In his conclusion, the cardinal stated that “there is no single stereotype of an ideal family” and asked, “What is the Holy Spirit asking the Church to change – not …

Canada : l’euthanasie pour maladie mentale est suspendue
Le Canada suspend l’extension de sa loi sur l’euthanasie aux personnes atteintes de maladie mentale. Le gouvernement fédéral a annoncé la suspension indéfinie de l’extension de l’euthanasie et du suicide assisté aux personnes dont le seul mal est une maladie mentale, initialement prévue pour mars 2027. Cette décision fait suite à la constatation qu’il n’existe aucun consensus médical quant au moment où un trouble psychiatrique peut être considéré comme incurable.
« Pas de consensus médical »
Le ministre de la Justice, Sean Fraser, a fait cette annonce mercredi dans le hall de la Chambre des communes. « Le Canada a décidé de ne pas aller de l’avant avec l’élargissement de l’aide médicale à mourir prévue par le Code criminel dans les cas où la maladie mentale en est le seul motif », a-t-il déclaré, selon Radio-Canada. Le gouvernement déposera un projet de loi cet …

EWTN names Ursula Murua to succeed Montse Alvarado as head of EWTN News
A Catholic journalist for more than 30 years, Murua covered a talk by EWTN’s foundress, Mother Angelica, as a 20-year-old reporter in Peru.
EWTN Global Catholic Network on Friday named Ursula Murua, a longtime leader of digital strategy, as the next president of EWTN News, effective Nov. 1.
Murua, a native of Peru who is director of digital strategy and social media for EWTN News, succeeds Montse Alvarado, president and chief operating officer of EWTN News since 2023, whom Pope Leo XIV appointed in June as prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication. Alvarado takes up the Vatican post the same day.
A story that began with Mother Angelica
Murua’s path into journalism is linked to EWTN’s foundress. When Mother Angelica visited Peru, she gave a talk that Murua, then 20, covered for the then-fledgling ACI Prensa, EWTN Chairman of the Board and CEO Michael P. Warsaw told staff in a message announcing the …

During the Vatican meeting marking the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, Pope Leo XIV and Cardinal Mario Grech both used language suggesting that different local Churches may develop different "pastoral" approaches.
As so often with synodal language, the implications remain ambiguous: neither explicitly says that different countries may adopt contradictory teachings or sacramental rules.
Leo XIV called for episcopal conferences and local Churches to discern “new paths.”
In his October 7 address, he said: “Moreover, the diversity of the situations from which we come can become a gift for the discernment of the whole Church.”
He later spoke of experiences brought from different cultural contexts, adding: “This will nourish the pastoral discernment of the Episcopal Conferences and the hierarchical structures of the Eastern Churches. It will likewise help the local Churches recognize new paths, and draw all the baptized more deeply into the Church’s synodal journey.”
Grech: Reception of …

Leo XIV appoints Cardinal Luis Tagle as new dean of the College of Cardinals.
Today, Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, 92, as Dean of the College of Cardinals.
He approved the election of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle as the new Dean of the College of Cardinals. Cardinal Tagle is Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization.
Nicknamed “Chito,” the sentimal prelate is known for singing and crying in public. He has wept during liturgies, promotions and talks.
In 2015, Tagle condemned the Church's use of “harsh language” toward homosexual, claiming it had contributed to their alleged isolation. In 2017, he participated in an Easter campaign promoting greater acceptance of marginalized people, including homosexuals.

Leo XIV warns against those who “radicalize” Catholic teaching.
Pope Leo XIV spoke during a Eucharist in St. Peter’s Basilica marking the opening of the 2026–2027 academic year for Rome’s Pontifical Universities.
He said: “In every age, there is no shortage of false teachers who exploit the religious sentiments of many believers for their own interests, often pushing them to radicalize certain aspects of the teaching they have received at the expense of the whole — the whole, which is Christ and his Gospel.”
Leo XIV then invented a Church’s responsibility for both “to safeguard” the revelation but also “to develop, within diverse contexts, a prayerful understanding of it”.

Catholic charity demands respect for every human being.
It does not require surrendering Catholic anthropology.
The Church teaches that sex belongs to the created reality of the human person. The vocabulary of contemporary gender ideology carries assumptions about identity, body and sexual difference that conflict with that understanding.
Yet here was a Catholic church placing one of the most recognizable progressive pro-abortion politicians in America at the pulpit during a partisan …

12 Things Blessed Fulton Sheen Taught About the Devil and Spiritual Warfare
Warnings to heed from the new Blessed include his prediction of ‘a total loss of personal identity, a split personality, a schizophrenic culture.’
[ncregister] Alyssa Murphy
A long-lost project envisioned by Blessed Fulton Sheen has finally been brought to light, offering dramatic insights into how the famed broadcaster viewed the diabolical in the modern era.
The compilation, titled On the Demonic: Spiritual Warfare in the Modern World, was compiled by Father Dave Tomaszycki, who uncovered Sheen’s archival notes and recorded retreat talks while completing doctoral research. Sheen originally announced his intention to write a dedicated book on the devil in 1974, but the work went uncompleted before his death in 1979.

Leo XIV claims that Christ founded a “religious movement” - in direct contradiction to Church teaching and the Gospel.
The recently published document The Path of Hope was signed by the heads of three Vatican dicasteries and approved by Leo XIV on 22 June. It states in §10:
“Early Christianity developed from the movement initiated by Jesus and his disciples, distinguishing itself from the various forms of Judaism over time.”
That’s the liberal Protestant view associated with figures such as Albert Schweitzer.
It clashes with propositions explicitly condemned by St Pius X in Lamentabili sane.
Condemned sentences are:
§59: Christ “inaugurated a religious movement adapted to, or to be adapted to, different times and places.”
§60: “Christian doctrine was originally Judaic. Through successive evolutions, it first became Pauline, then Joannine and finally Hellenic and universal.”
Catholic teaching states: Christ did not merely initiate a movement that gradually became Christianity. He …
