Celibacy Places Agnosticism in a Profound Crisis
Vatican
Cardinal Mauro Piacenza, prefect of the Congregation for Clergy, has delivered a magisterial address on the Pontifical teachings on priestly celibacy on January 24 at a colloquium in Ars: “We must recuperate the reasoned understanding that our celibacy offers as a challenge to the world, placing its secularism and agnosticism in profound crisis and crying out, through the centuries, that God is present and active” - the cardinal said.
Positive Comments About “The Rite”
USA
The January 28 release of “The Rite,” a movie based upon the training of an exorcist, has received positive comments from Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois. The bishop led a seminar on exorcism for over four dozen bishops last November. He said that the movie “can be a positive thing toward giving people a more balanced understanding of what exorcism is all about.”

The Vatican Has Highest Rate of Misdemeanor Crime

The petty theft doesn't concern me. What does concern me is the euro23 million ($30 million U.S.) seized by Italian authorities investigating money laundering within the Vatican Bank.

The petty theft doesn't concern me. What does concern me is the euro23 million ($30 million U.S.) seized by Italian authorities investigating money laundering within the Vatican Bank. This is no ordinary bank: The ATMs are in Latin. Priests use a private entrance and a life-size portrait of Pope Benedict XVI hangs on the wall. The Holy see is said to be perplexed and surprised by the initiatives of the Rome prosecutors. Documents reveal investigators' suspicions that clergy may have acted as fronts for corrupt businessmen and Mafia. www.bloomberg.com/…/vatican-bank-mi…

Confirmation Before Holy Communion

UK

The Latin Rite branch in Liverpool is returning to the ancient way of offering the Sacraments of Initiation something Eastern Rite Catholics have never changed in 2000 years. The offering of First Communion before Confirmation is not, as some think, a long established tradition in the West. It happened when Pius X encouraged the practice of giving Communion to children as means to combat the sad reality that many Catholics at the turn of the 20th century had such an exaggerated sense of being unworthy that they received only once as year. St Terese of Lisieux lamented the situation of so many not receiving Communion and 'prophesied' that soon a pope would change things, and she was correct.

Good afternoon, Doina

Very interesting news stories today.

Your one braid brings back boyhood memories of the girl who sat in front of me and her one pony tail.

Dear Doina,
Yesterday, a major thing happened in France: the well-known Abbé Michel, the curé de Thiberville (normandy) leaved his parish due to the persecution of a modernist bishop (he was persecuted because he celebrated the only Traditional Latin Mass in the diocese). It is a major piece of info here, and everybody speaks about it is French Catholic fora and blogs, because that show that …More
Dear Doina,
Yesterday, a major thing happened in France: the well-known Abbé Michel, the curé de Thiberville (normandy) leaved his parish due to the persecution of a modernist bishop (he was persecuted because he celebrated the only Traditional Latin Mass in the diocese). It is a major piece of info here, and everybody speaks about it is French Catholic fora and blogs, because that show that Tradition is still forbidden in a lot of dioceses of our country. Maybe it should me featured on Gloria TV news?
Thanks
