Marriage and family: “We can no longer continue as before. It is a change, an evolution.” At today’s closing press conference of the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Msgr. Philippe Bordeyne, president of the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences, declared: “We can no longer continue as before” in family ministry. Asked about marital failures, he described an “evolution” in the meeting’s approach to family “fragility”: rather than focusing on irregular marital situations, it now treats fragility as a universal human condition. “I don’t know whether it is a step forward, but it is a change, an evolution.”
Bordeyne : « Nous ne pouvons plus continuer comme avant » dans la pastorale familiale. Et : « Je ne sais pas si c’est un pas en avant, mais c’est un changement, une évolution. »

Celibacy: The brighter the priestly chastity shines, the more the priest becomes, together with Christ, 'a pure, holy, and spotless offering' [Roman Missal, Canon]. - As the Catechism notes in paragraph 1579, priests of the Latin Church are not allowed to marry. The Catechism cites Christ's words from Matthew 19:12, 'for the sake of the kingdom of heaven,' as the reason for this celibacy.
The South American church has always been a mile wide and an inch deep (e.g., it routinely turned a blind eye to priests with girlfriends or common law wives and children). Then came Liberation Theology, which pretty much displaced Christ's actual teachings, which then infected its seminarians, who became priests then bishops then archbishops . . . then popes.
In recent years, Poland has emerged as one of the most rapidly militarizing EU nations, with its military spending reaching around 4.7% of its GDP. The country has also been one of Kiev’s staunchest backers in its conflict with Moscow, providing Ukraine with weapons, including artillery systems, tanks, armored vehicles, warplanes, and ammunition. Some estimates place Poland in first place among all other Western countries in terms of the volume of assistance provided relative to its own GDP. Poland has also served as a key logistical hub for Ukraine-bound arms shipments from other countries. There is no Jan lll Sobieski anymore in Poland. There won't be anyone saying the Rosary, carrying banners of The Blessed Mother, praying before the battle. It's said, all evil will be destroyed. And Poland is one of the worst I have heard or seen so far. But they will get theirs in the end. Poland will not be totally destroyed. But it will be pretty bad by the end of it all. They will get what they …More

Gemelli Hospital has a special ward for the Pope, but since they saw a younger and more athletic Pope, the authorities decided to renovate it without thinking that Leo XIV would need it so soon. Today he couldn't use it because it's closed.
Gut, dass die Klinik dem Papst diese Räumlichkeiten zur Verfügung stellt, aber schlecht, dass die nicht rechtzeitig renoviert wurden. Auch nicht gut, dass die Öffentlichkeit über solche Einzelheiten informiert wird.
