In October 2025, Bishop Fontinele – who has written poems all his live - composed a hymn to the “Amazonian Rite”. He said the lyrics should highlight Amazonian faith, rites, and culture: “There is a need For liturgical inculturation For Indigenous peoples, The original peoples, And to develop An Amazonian rite. He went on to call for preserving and “valuing the rituals” of indigenous peoples and also – most striking - their “visions of God.”

Fuentes suddenly says he doesn’t care about Gaza. He says the new $2.8 BILLION in U.S.-funded bombs for Israel is “not a big deal,” and everyone should basically give it a rest. Probably nothing.

Em outubro de 2025, o Bispo Fontinele — que escreveu poemas ao longo de toda a sua vida — compôs um hino ao «Rito Amazónico». Afirmou que a letra deveria destacar a fé, os ritos e a cultura amazónicos: «Há necessidade de inculturação litúrgica Para os povos indígenas, Os povos originários, E para desenvolver um rito amazónico. Prosseguiu apelando à preservação e à «valorização dos rituais» dos povos indígenas e também — o que é mais marcante — das suas «visões de Deus».

Františkánsky kňaz Ibrahim Faltas sa zamýšľa nad tragédiou v Gaze, kde sa krátko po polnoci 16. septembra zrútila budova, ktorú už skôr poškodila izraelská raketová strela. Zahynulo najmenej 21 ľudí. V denníku „L’Osservatore Romano“ sa zameriava na matku a dieťa, ktorých našli mŕtvych v objatí. Otec Faltas dodáva, že „pod obrovskými hromadami trosiek zostáva približne 100 ľudí; viac ako 20 už bolo vyprostených a vyše polovica z nich sú deti.“
O padre franciscano Ibrahim Faltas reflete sobre a tragédia em Gaza, após o desabamento, pouco depois da meia-noite de 16 de setembro, de um edifício que já tinha sido danificado por um ataque com mísseis israelitas. Pelo menos 21 pessoas perderam a vida. No «L’Osservatore Romano», o padre destaca o caso de uma mãe e de uma criança encontradas mortas, abraçadas. O padre Faltas acrescenta que «cerca de 100 pessoas continuam soterradas sob as enormes pilhas de escombros; mais de 20 já foram resgatadas, e mais de metade delas são crianças».

Strong medicines pass from the onyx vessel in which they are kept. The bright radiance of the carbuncle passes out of that gemstone without hindrance.4 In the same way, the Son of God was born of a maiden without the hindrance of corruption. And in the same way also, Christ’s bride the Church gives birth to her children without the hindrance of error, and yet remains a maiden, intact in her faith.

Last Sunday, there was another bomb attack on a church in Syria. This time, however, no one was killed or injured. Security camera footage shows a masked man placing the bomb underneath a car parked directly in front of the Greek Orthodox St. George’s Cathedral in Hama. The bomb exploded later that evening. September 14 (the day after the attack) is traditionally celebrated in the Greek Orthodox Church as the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. There was no church service taking place in the cathedral at the time, which likely saved many lives. However, the church was damaged in the attack, and many windows were shattered by the explosion. Children were playing in the church courtyard nearby, but they too were unharmed. Nevertheless, the shock runs deep. Christians see the attack as a clear signal directed against them. Since the attack on St. Elias Church in Damascus last year, in which 22 Christians were killed, there have been repeated attacks and threats against Syria’s shrinking …More
Pred gréckokatolíckou katedrálou v sýrskom meste Hama vybuchla bomba. Videá z miesta činu zachytávajú následky výbuchu vnútri aj vonku gréckokatolíckej katedrály sv. Juraja v meste Hama, ku ktorému došlo 13. septembra, v predvečer sviatku Povýšenia svätého kríža. Výbuch rozbil okná a poškodil kostol aj okolité autá, nikto však nebol zabitý ani zranený. Sýrske úrady začali vyšetrovanie. Žiadna skupina sa k útoku neprihlásila.
Uma bomba explodiu no exterior da catedral ortodoxa grega em Hama, na Síria. Os vídeos do local mostram os estragos no interior e no exterior da Catedral Ortodoxa Grega de São Jorge, em Hama, após a explosão de uma bomba a 13 de setembro, na véspera da Festa da Exaltação da Santa Cruz. A explosão estilhaçou as janelas e causou danos na igreja e nos automóveis nas proximidades, mas não houve mortos nem feridos. As autoridades sírias abriram um inquérito. Nenhum grupo reivindicou a autoria do ataque.
Vergangenen Sonntag hat es erneut einen Angriff mit einer Bombe auf eine Kirche in Syrien gegeben - dieses Mal wurde jedoch niemand getötet oder verletzt. Überwachungskameras zeigen, wie ein maskierter Mann die Bombe unter einem Auto platziert, das direkt vor der griechisch-orthodoxen St.-Georgs-Kathedrale in Hama parkt. Am Abend explodierte die Bombe dann. Am 14. September (dem Tag nach dem Anschlag) wird in der griechisch-orthodoxen Kirche traditionell das Fest der Kreuzerhöhung gefeiert.
Brazilian Catholic priest Father Márlon Múcio marked his parents’ 54th wedding anniversary with a blessing from his sickbed. Known to many as “the Living Miracle,” the priest shared a video on Instagram honoring his parents, Múcio and Carminha. He noted that they have been together for 60 years, including their years of courtship. Father Márlon lives with Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency (RTD), a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease that affects fewer than 350 people worldwide. He takes more than 300 pills a day and relies on a mechanical ventilator around the clock. Despite frequent hospitalizations and periods in intensive care, he continues to celebrate Mass, write books and lead charitable work in Brazil, including efforts supporting people with rare diseases.

Belgian Bishop Trains Married Men to Be Ordained Priests by 2028. Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, told LaLibre.be on September 14 about his plan, announced already in March, to ordain married men to the priesthood by 2028. In June, he informed two Curia Cardinals about his course of action: Cardinal Lazarus You Heung-sik, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Clergy, and Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops. Monsignor Bonny claims that the move is driven "by necessity", pointing to the acute shortage of priests in Flanders. Antwerp diocese has fewer than 70 priests under the age of 70, two-thirds of whom are from abroad. The Cardinals replied that they would discuss it with Pope Leo XIV. Bishop Bonny has identified several candidates for priestly ordination. They are receiving theological and pastoral training comparable to that of seminarians. The preparation is being conducted “in a transparent but discreet manner, away from the media spotlight,” he …More
Fr. Brent Bowman began crying after consecrating the Precious Blood at Mass and reportedly received a special grace of ‘knowing on a deeper level that truly Christ's Blood was shed for us.’
Ce prêtre s’effondre en larmes pendant la messe - Que s'est-il passé ? Le père Brent Bowman célébrait la messe le 14 septembre 2026 dans le Minnesota lorsqu’il s’est effondré en larmes au moment de consacrer le Précieux Sang. Il raconte avoir alors éprouvé avec une force saisissante le poids du sacrifice du Christ. Par cet instant exceptionnel et surnaturel, Dieu nous confirme la grandeur du prêtre, l'attention toute particulière et encore plus profonde dont il doit faire preuve pendant la Consécration des Saintes Espèces. Et pour nous fidèles, nous y sommes tout autant invités. Parfois, lorsque le Seigneur Jésus nous offres des grâces au-dessus de certaines autres, nous ne pouvons résister tant elles sont grandes et puissantes. Le corps humain ne résiste pas, il ne le peut pas. Lors de grâces particulières, surnaturelles, le Seigneur Jésus fait voir, instruit, fait participer, exhorte. Nous devons rester humbles devant de telles grâces. Aussi, il ne faut pas en avoir peur, ne pas les …More
Trotz des anhaltenden Konflikts nimmt die Schule der katholischen Pfarrei zur Heiligen Familie in Gaza erstmals seit Beginn der israelischen Militärkampagne wieder den Unterricht auf. Rund tausend Schülerinnen und Schüler sollen dort im neuen Schuljahr unterrichtet werden.
This is their way of fast tracking canonizations. Remember it is the shell (appear Catholic) they want you to see. They would then say...we have “saints” in our new Church so how can it be bad? Snakes!
