The Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel in Pulligny, Meurthe-et-Moselle, northeastern France, faces demolition following a municipal safety order issued on August 26. Structural damage worsened and raised fears of collapse. Built in 1868 to designs by architect Léon Vautrin, the Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic chapel was financed by parish priest Abbé Joseph-Pierre Clément and blessed on June 24, 1868. Local authorities closed the surrounding area to traffic and announced plans to demolish the building, while expressing an intention to preserve its bells. However, heritage organization Urgences Patrimoine disputes the necessity of demolition. According to the group, a 2023 assessment by CAUE 54 had already recommended urgent conservation measures, but these were never implemented. No restoration estimate was commissioned before demolition was proposed. Urgences Patrimoine initiated in October a legal challenge, seeking to contest the safety order.

For the second year running, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago wants to honour abortion politicians. In 2025, Senator Dick Durbin withdrew following protests by bishops. This year, Michael J. Sacks - who donated $600,000 to an Illinois initiative that provides abortion including at Planned Parenthood - is set to receive the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Nostra Aetate Award on 29 October. Cardinal Cupich has defended the decision. In a statement issued yesterday, he wrote: 'Simply put, honouring individuals who do not share core Catholic teachings recognises their dignity, leadership role, and service to their community, without implying an endorsement of every statement or stance they maintain.'
More than 60 Christians have been killed in a series of brutal attacks in Ethiopia’s Oromia region. Armed assailants reportedly raided villages, murdered civilians, and spread fear among Christian communities. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church warns of escalating violence and calls for urgent protection. Regional authorities blamed a rebel alliance that includes the Oromo Liberation Army. Responsibility remains unproven.
Vatican says Summorum Pontificum organizers should have requested prayer inside St Peter's basilica instead of procession. The refusal to authorize the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage procession concerned only the procession itself, Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, told the Substack.com-account 'The Pillar' on October 26. The Secretariat of State’s rejection referred “exclusively to the procession, because that’s ordinarily not allowed, not even for dioceses that come in pilgrimage.” Bruni added: “If the organizers wanted to hold an [alternate] activity such as Eucharistic adoration or prayer, they should’ve made a specific request to that end.” However, the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage had included a procession every October since 2012. The Vatican Press Office has not exactly established a reputation for scrupulous regard for the truth. Picture: Una Voce Sevilla, #newsLucfjpygoo

27.11.2026 REUTERS PROJETCS INVISIBLE CASES OF LG 16 ETC AS VISIBLE EXCEPTIONS FOR TRADITION: NO APOLOGY YET Reuters did not apologize for its reports on Vatican Council II . Invisible cases of LG 8, 14,16,UR 3, NA2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II were wrongly projected as visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church ( without faith and baptism) in the present times 1965-2025-2026. We now know that Vatican Council II (AG 7) is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442, and invisible cases of LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are not objective exceptions for EENS or AG 7. AG 7 is placed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church under thetitle Outside the Church No Salvation. Common sense tells us that someone has to be there, to be an exception. Someone has to be present and visible to be an exception. An invisible person cannot be an exception for EENS, in the present times. If there is a box of oranges with an apple in …More

OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE NEW LAW We must now consider those things that are contained in the New Law: under which headthereare four points of inquiry: (1) Whether the New Law ought to prescribe or to forbid any outward works? 2) Whetherthe New Law makes sufficient provision in prescribing and forbidding external acts? (3) Whether in the matter of internal acts it directs man sufficiently? 4) Whether it fittinglyadds counsels to precepts? Whether the New Law ought to prescribe or prohibit any external acts? Objection 1: It would seem that the New Law should not prescribe or prohibit any external acts. For the New Law is the Gospel of the kingdom, according to Mat. 24:14: "This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world." But the kingdom of God consists not in exterior, but only in interior acts, according to Lk. 17:21: "The kingdom of God is within you"; and Rom. 14:17: "The kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice and peace and joy in the Holy …More
MY STORY WITH YOU HAS COME TO AN END. And this time, I’m not saying it out of anger. I’m saying it out of exhaustion—the exhaustion of a woman who spent far too long trying to hold together something that was slowly draining her strength. I have nothing left to prove to you. I’m tired of explaining how I feel, justifying my tears, and pretending certain things don’t hurt me just to avoid another argument. I’m tired of waiting for you. Tired of making excuses for your absence. Tired of seeing your coldness and telling myself that maybe one day you would change. Tired of convincing myself that I needed to be more patient when, in reality, what I needed was to start loving myself more. Because yes… I held on. But today, I understand that many times, I wasn’t holding on to you, but to the person I imagined you could become. I held on to the good memories. To the promises. To the version of our story I wanted to believe in. I placed you on a pedestal and ended up justifying things I should …More
