Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.

Leo XIV-appointed, divorced Prefetessa for Media calls her appointment “bizarre”. Montserrat Alvarado, 39, is the first American, the first woman and the youngest prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, she told EWTN in an interview broadcast on October 23. She added, unprompted: “I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre.” Alvarado spoke about annulment almost as if it were a Church-sanctioned divorce: “I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do.” A bizarre remark from her: “I don't think that's why I was chosen.”
Vatican Media Prefect "Montse" admits herself: "I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre. And I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do. There's a lot of confusion around that, and I think that's, for whatever reason, I don't think that's why I was chosen, but there's providence in everything, right? All of our mistakes and all of our flaws, our Lord uses everything for good."

A Secretariat of State letter dated September 30, signed by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli and published by Diane Montagna, confirms that the Vatican rejected a request by organizers of the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Having already been denied permission to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, the organizers instead requested permission to enter in procession, pray above the tomb of St. Peter, and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s sacristy had indicated that 1 p.m. would be possible, subject to approval by the Secretariat of State. The Vatican’s response: “Reverend Father, In response to your letter of 8 September concerning the international Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, I inform you that it is not possible to grant your request. Please accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my religious and devoted regards. † Paolo Rudelli” #newsPnguweoskc
SAINT EVARISTUS - October 26 Pope and Martyr († 112) St. Evaristus succeeded St. Anacletus as pope and was martyred nine years later during the reign of Emperor Trajan. He divided Rome into parishes, assigned cardinal priests to each and appointed seven deacons to attend the bishop. He conferred holy orders thrice during December instead of the usual seasons for fasting and prayer. He is buried near St. Peter in the Vatican.

Saint of the Day: October 26th - Saint Evaristus, Pope and Martyr. Butler'sLivesoftheSaints A.D. 112 Saint Evaristus succeeded Saint Anacletus in the see of Rome, in the reign of Trajan, governed the church nine years, and died in 112. He is honoured with the title of martyr in the Pontificals and in most Martyrologies. The institution of cardinal priests is by some ascribed to him, because he first divided Rome into several titles or parishes, according to the Pontifical, assigning a priest to each: he also appointed seven deacons to attend the bishop. He conferred holy orders thrice in the month of December, when that ceremony was most usually performed, for which Amalarius assigns moral and mystical reasons; Mabillon and Claude de Vert give this, that at Lent and Whitsuntide the bishops were more taken up, but were more at liberty in Advent to give due attention to this important function; for holy orders were always conferred in seasons appointed for fasting and prayer. Saint Evaristus …More

The Devil's Advocate (West novel) The Devil's Advocate is a 1959 novel by Australian author Morris West. It forms part of West's "Vatican" sequence of novels, along with The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963), The Clowns of God (1981), and Lazarus (1990). Plot Father Blaise Meredith, an urbane and cultured English priest who has passed his unexceptional life at the Vatican, is diagnosed with a terminal disease. He is sent from Rome to a small Calabrian village (Gemello Maggiore) as 'devil's advocate', investigating the life of Giacomo Nerone, a dead local being promoted for sainthood. Meredith has been chosen by Cardinal Marotta for this task, as someone learned and meticulous, perhaps lacking in charity or passion, but not in precision. Meredith expects to die quite soon. Gemello Maggiore's residents are promoting Nerone's cult which will bring prestige and prosperity to a typically post-war, impoverished, rural community in Southern Italy. Meredith discovers that Nerone was in fact a …More

Mass student protests have been ongoing for 12 days. —— In solidarity with the students, the Democratic Party (DP) held its own march, led by deputies Flamur Noka and Agron Gjekmarkaj. Demonstrators began their action in front of the government building, where they burned wooden chairs that Prime Minister Edi Rama had placed earlier as an invitation to "dialogue." This time Rama went further and set up a stone table on the street with the inscription "dialogue," but protesters destroyed this installation as well.
