Gloria.TV News on the 31st of October.

Mostly hot air: Father Federico Lombardi, the director of the Holy See Press Office, released a short statement addressing the issue of the U.S. National Security Agency spying on the Vatican – quote: "My response regarding the alleged wiretapping is that we don't know anything about this matter and in any case, we have no worries about it.” Lombardi’s insouciance must be based on the knowledge that - when Catholic prelates utter words – the result is mostly hot air.

Antithetical to the Gospel: Daniel McInerny has asked the question on aleteia.org when should a Catholic Institution be declared dead? He takes the nominally Catholic Notre Dame University as an example. He describes it as “a secular school in a Catholic neighborhood.” McInerny finds the diagnostic principle in order to discern whether a Catholic institution is flourishing or dying in the two questions: are the people of the institution inspired by the Gospel and Catholic teaching? Or are they inspired, rather, by one or another design of worldly success antithetical to the Gospel?

He is not Jesus Christ: According to media reports the two major-party candidates running for governor in Virginia are both practicing Catholics. Townhall.com reminds readers however that the pro-death democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe was pressed in a radio show in 2007 about his church attendance. He answered: "I don't pretend to be a priest.” When asked how his pro-death-positions clash with the church, McAuliffe snapped: "I wish I could follow 100 percent the teachings of the Catholic Church, but believe it or not, much to your chagrin, I am not Jesus Christ." Townhall.com comments: “This is not how a practicing Catholic would respond.”

Too late: The siblings of Monsignor Patrick Leary, the former CEO of Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, filed a wrongful death lawsuit. Leary died in December 2012 at the age of 63. On the day of his death Leary went to the emergency room at St. Rose Dominican Hospitals - Siena Campus. His heart rate was extremely low, he was nauseated and his leg and chest hurt, according to the complaint. The lawsuit contends that Leary’s symptoms were “highly suggestive, if not classic, for acute aortic dissection.” However, Leary simply received some medication for the nausea and was sent home with instructions to follow up with a doctor in two to four days. Later that night, Leary died of an undiagnosed tear in his heart.
