Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Michele Morandi as the new Bishop of Faenza-Modigliana, an Italian diocese with 130,000 Catholics and 80 parishes. Born in Alfonsine, Italy, in 1976, he was ordained a priest in 2003 and has served as a parish priest, rector of the diocesan seminary and vicar general of the diocese. Closed Seminary Is "Excellent Starting Point" As rector of the seminary, he wrote in 2024 for the 70 anniversary of the large seminary building in Faenza. The seminarians now study in Bologna. The building is called the 'former seminary' and used as a library, a school, a workplace and an art space, and has become a "secular place". For Monsignor Morandi, this was an "excellent starting point", as from that moment on, things were "no longer tainted by clerical and collegial imagery or clouded by a curtain of incense." Identification with the Synodal Process Monsignor Morandi took part in the Italian Church’s national synodal assembly in Rome. In a diocesan article from 2025…ပိုမို

During his visit to Cameroon on 16 April, Pope Leo XIV met with twelve representatives of local Islamic communities at the Apostolic Nunciature in Yaoundé. Several of the Muslim leaders had previously met the Pope in Rome in December 2025, suggesting an ongoing relationship.

Bishop Antonio Santarsiero of Huacho, Peru, convened all his clergy last Tuesday in a parish hall and publicly identified his two alleged victims, reports InfoVaticana.com. Furthermore, he asked the priests to sign a document supporting his innocence, which carries no probative value. The bishop stepped aside last Friday as Secretary General of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference while the case is investigated. The Church’s legal framework runs counter to the bishop’s actions. The motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi requires the protection and confidentiality of reports and forbids interference in investigations. The two alleged victims are a priest who lived with Santarsiero and a former seminarian. Both accuse him of homosexual misconduct and psychological manipulation.

Having already appointed several syncretic bishops, and just days after describing a mosque as a “divine, sacred space,” Leo XIV condemned syncretism in words. During the Eucharist in Bamenda, Cameroon, on 16 April, he cautioned against “falling into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature.”
Leo XIV at Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon: “Obey God, not human beings. To obey Him, because He alone is God. This calls us to foster inculturation of the Gospel. It also calls us to be vigilant, even regarding our own religious practices, so as not to fall into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature, which in reality often serve political and economic ends. Only God sets us free; only his word opens paths to freedom; only His Spirit makes us new people capable of changing this country.”

1. Can God on Quasi modo Sunday ( geniti infantes is a Latin phrase meaning "as newborn infants" or "as newborn babes") provide the means for what essentially is a second baptism? Yes or No? Well yes God can do this. Go to confession and Holy Communion on this one Sunday and I God will forgive all punishment owing for sin. As a new born! God wants you to make a big deal of His Mercy this one Sunday of the year. 2. The Church is so corrupt that God chooses to be directly more Merciful to Catholics than ever before. Where evil abounds, grace abounds more! God makes up for where His Church representatives lack. 3. God says you do this and I will do that! How simple go to confession and Holy Communion on this one day! It’s like go and bath 7 times in the Jordan! Would you?
(PerMariam) — The watchdog agency Human Rights Watch (HRW) has warned that the controversial 2018 deal between China and the Vatican has “helped the Chinese government to pressure underground Catholic communities to join the official church.” According to a detailed new report issued by HRW, the Chinese state is only increasing its persecution of underground Catholics, and is doing so aided by the framework of the 2018 deal between Beijing and the Holy See regarding the appointment of bishops. “The 2018 Holy See-China agreement on bishops has helped the Chinese government to pressure underground Catholic communities to join the official church,” HRW wrote on April 15. Image produced via AI. Having been signed in 2018 on a provisional basis, the secretive Sino-Vatican deal’s specific details remain undisclosed: a peculiar air of mystery surrounds them. It has since been renewed a number of times, most recently in 2024 for a period of four years. The agreement is believed to recognize …
April 17th - Saint of the Day: Saint Robert of Molesme, Benedictine Abbot He walked away from comfort, wealth, and status to chase a stricter life of prayer, poverty, and obedience to God. Saint Robert of Molesme is one of those saints most people do not talk about enough, but his life changed the Church in a huge way. He founded Molesme, became the first abbot of Cîteaux, and helped spark the Cistercian reform that would shape Catholic spirituality for generations. What makes his story hit so hard is this: when monastic life around him started getting comfortable and soft, he refused to settle. He wanted more than a respectable religious life. He wanted holiness. He wanted the Rule of Saint Benedict lived fully. He wanted a life centered on prayer, sacrifice, work, and total surrender to Christ. That makes Saint Robert’s life feel painfully relevant today. In a world obsessed with comfort, image, and convenience, he reminds us that real peace is not found in …ပိုမို
Saint Robert de Molesme - Fêté le 17 avril Abbé, fondateur de Cîteaux (+ 1110) Ce jeune bourguignon entra très jeune chez les bénédictins de Moutier-la-Celle dans l'Aube. A peine son noviciat terminé, il fut nommé prieur. Les bénédictins de Tonnerre ayant voulu l'avoir comme Père Abbé, il accepta, mais les ayant trouvés très relâchés et surtout peu réformables, il prit congé d'eux et revint à Moutier. Quelques ermites l'invitèrent à se mettre à leur tête et il partit avec eux dans la forêt de Molesme en Côte d'Or dans des petites huttes de branchages autour d'une petite chapelle. Les recrues et les dons affluèrent, les huttes disparurent, un monastère se construisit et les ermites devinrent plus soucieux de leur confort que de l'ascèse. Saint Robert les quitta, mais les dons cessèrent en même temps. Ils le supplièrent de revenir et il revint. La ferveur, elle ne revint pas. Alors avec une vingtaine de moines plus décidés, dont saint Albéric et saint Étienne Harding, …ပိုမို
