Leo XIV has Vatican building constructed to accumulate more and more things. In a chirograph issued today, Leo XIV has announced a new building inside Vatican City for the Apostolic Archive and Library. The vast and growing collections have exhausted existing storage capacity. Leo XIV cites the “considerable increase” in the Holy See’s bibliographical holdings and documentary output. No budget, architect, building dimensions, construction timetable or completion date has been announced. The complex will rise in the Fontana dell’Autoparco area. Space will be divided equitably between the Archive and Library, with part reserved for other Vatican City services. The decision modifies a plan approved by Francis in 2024, which envisaged new storage in the extraterritorial Lateran area. The scale is enormous: the Apostolic Archive holds more than 600 archival fonds spanning roughly 12 centuries and over 85 km of shelving. The Library preserves around 180,000 manuscripts and archival documents …เพิ่มเติม

Your support is vital to … Did Saudi Arabia play a role in the planning and execution of the September 11 attacks of 2001?

Leo XIV increases salaries for cardinals and senior Vatican officials. Today, Leo XIV has abolished the pay cuts introduced by Francis in 2021. Francis had ordered a 10% salary cut for cardinals working for the Holy See and an 8% reduction for senior officials and curial secretaries as the Vatican faced financial difficulties. Other clergy and religious employees initially faced a 3% cut, which was abolished in 2025. Leo XIV’s new motu proprio, effective September 1, abrogates the 2021 decree in its entirety. He claimed the measures had been necessary due to the “exceptional challenge of the pandemic,” but could now be superseded as the Holy See and Vatican City pursue economic sustainability “through different instruments.” #newsRxifznfisa

Saint Albert of Jerusalem | The Bishop Who Gave the Carmelites Their Rule | September 14 He lived during the turbulent age of the Crusades. He served the Church as a bishop, diplomat and peacemaker. But centuries later, he is especially remembered for a relatively short document written for a small community of hermits living near Mount Carmel. That document became known as: The Rule of Saint Albert. FROM ITALY TO THE HOLY LAND Albert was born in Italy during the 12th century. He entered the Canons Regular of the Holy Cross and eventually became Bishop of Bobbio and later Bishop of Vercelli. Albert became respected not only as a churchman but also for his ability to help resolve difficult disputes. In the early 13th century, he was appointed Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. Because Jerusalem itself was under Muslim control at the time, Albert resided principally at Acre. THE HERMITS OF MOUNT CARMEL Meanwhile, a group of Western Christian hermits had settled on Mount Carmel in …เพิ่มเติม

Nel 1191 celebrò un sinodo diocesano di grande valore per la parte disciplinare, che continuò a servire di norma fino ai tempi moderni. Esplicò anche una grande attività legislativa a favore di ordini religiosi: dettò gli statuti per i canonici di Biella e fu tra i consiglieri per la regola degli Umiliati. Fu eletto …เพิ่มเติม
The Visitation nuns are preparing to leave Nevers, France, after more than four centuries. The remaining sisters are emptying their monastery. Furniture, crockery, tables, cupboards and other belongings are being sold in two “vide-couvent” sales, on September 12 and 19. The departure follows a steep decline in numbers. By early 2025 only four nuns remained. On March 15, 2025 two elderly sisters left. At the time, remaining Sister Marie-Odile stressed that this did not yet mean closure, joking that the priests’ violet vestments were “not those of a funeral.” Eighteen months later, the disposal of the convent’s contents signals the community’s approaching departure. The exact date on which the last sisters will leave has not been announced, nor has the future of the building. The Visitation Order was founded in Annecy in 1610 by St Francis de Sales and St Jane Frances de Chantal. Visitandines established a monastery in Nevers in 1620, making it one of the order’s earliest foundations. …เพิ่มเติม
