Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, 79, a former Apostolic Nuncio and the Apostolic Visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, administered Confirmation to two young Irish Travellers in the Adoration Chapel in Medjugorje, reports David Murgia on IlSegnoDiGiona. According to pictures, the women wore inappropriate short white pyjamas. Murgia says the outfits reflect festive dress customary in the Irish Traveller community. He claims to have verified the circumstances through multiple sources and that the photographs are authentic.

Lack of reverence, Inappropriate and disrespectful attire, (culture taken to an extreme) ~ One questions the sanity of the officiating Archbishop to allow such a performance! ~ "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do!"
6. September – Heiliger des Tages: Der heilige Onesiphorus, Jünger des heiligen Paulus & Märtyrer Er sprach nie ein einziges Wort, das überliefert ist, und dennoch schaffte er es in die Bibel. Dies ist die Geschichte des heiligen Onesiphorus, des Mannes, der sich weigerte, den Apostel Paulus im Stich zu lassen. Während sich eine ganze Provinz von dem inhaftierten Apostel abwandte, segelte ein einfacher Mann aus Ephesus nach Rom, durchsuchte die Stadt Straße für Straße und erschien immer wieder vor der gefährlichsten Gefängniszelle des Reiches. Ohne Scham. Ohne Furcht. Nur unerschütterliche Treue. In dieser Geschichte erfahren Sie, warum Paulus seine Familie grüßte, aber nie den Mann selbst, warum ein geheimnisvoller Vers das älteste überlieferte Gebet für eine verstorbene Seele sein könnte und wie ein Mann ohne jegliche überlieferte Wunder zu einem Heiligen wurde, den die Kirche seit fast zweitausend Jahren verehrt.

Today, Leo XIV joked with children at the Vatican’s annual Family Day for employees and their families. “How much is six-seven?” he asked, while making the hand gesture from the viral “6-7” meme. He then answered 13 - turning the deliberately meaningless meme into 6+7. Teenagers followed with another slang: “Papa, can you say ‘aura’?” Leo looked puzzled and repeated: “Aura?” - prompting more laughter. Online, “aura” refers to someone’s coolness, charisma or presence. Young people jokingly give or take away “aura points” depending on what someone does.
Pope Leo XIV makes a dad joke to kids about 6-7, saying “how much is 6 + 7? It’s 13.”
The International Theological Commission's new document presents panentheism as an 'interpretive framework' for understanding God as 'intimately present in every aspect of reality'. It explicitly contrasts this with classical theism. @Gaetano Masciullo argues that this positive portrayal of panentheism obscures the Catholic distinction between Creator and creation and risks normalising pantheistic theology.
The Vatican’s International Theological Commission has just given a positive hearing to panentheism (the idea that creation exists “in God” so is also Divine).
23rd Sunday – OT – A - Gospel - Matthew 18:15–20 denicemay Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20. Jesus said to his disciples: "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that 'every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, (amen,) I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
[Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort – XVII-XVIII Century AD; born: Montfort-sur-Meu, France/died: Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, France; aged 43, Total consecration to Jesus through Mary] 5. Exterior practices 60. Besides interior practices, which we have just mentioned, this devotion has certain exterior practices which must not be omitted or neglected. Consecration and its renewal 61. The first is to choose a special feast-day to consecrate ourselves through Mary to Jesus, whose slaves we are making ourselves. This is an occasion for receiving Holy Communion and spending the day in prayer. At least once a year on the same day, we should renew the act of consecration. Offering of a tribute in submission to the Blessed Virgin 62. The second is to give our Lady every year on that same day some little tribute as a token of our servitude and dependence. This has always been the customary homage paid by slaves to their master. This tribute could consist of an act of self-denial or alms, or a …More
The Anglican St. Paul’s Cathedral in London has entered a four-year partnership with Fabric, one of the city’s best-known nightclubs. Fabric will stage contemporary music events inside the cathedral through 2030. The first concert is scheduled for October 29. The artist has not yet been announced. St. Paul’s says the program aims to attract new visitors and introduce them to the cathedral through music and culture. The partnership follows earlier performances by RY X and Patti Smith.

"Mortal sin cannot be forgiven without true Penance, to which it belongs to renounce sin, by reason of its being against God, which is common to all mortal sins." — St. Thomas Aquinas
The history class “The Catholic Intellectual Tradition” has become one of Yale’s most popular courses. Last spring, it attracted 85 students - up from just 13 a decade ago. The course explores two millennia of Catholic thought, from early Christianity and medieval mysticism to debates about war, philosophy and modern life. It has even reportedly attracted more students than long-standing Yale favourites such as “The Birth of Europe” and “The Roman Empire”. This boom comes at a time when universities are debating cuts to the humanities.
23rd Sunday – OT – A - Second Reading - Romans 13:8–10 denicemay Letter to the Romans 13,8-10. Brothers and sisters: Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, (namely) "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
Another Vatican appointment for Montse Alvarado: Leo XIV puts the future head of Vatican communications on the board of his new “Fratello Sole” Foundation - even as her digital record at EWTN offers little to celebrate. Today, Leo XIV appointed Maria Montserrat “Montse” Alvarado as a member of the Board of Directors of the Vatican’s newly established Fratello Sole Foundation. She becomes the third member of its three-person governing board. Alvarado is due to take office as Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication on November 1. She is divorced and received a Church annulment of her marriage. She is not a theologian and has attracted attention for arguing in 2022 that Jews should not be converted to Christianity.

The three-member board now consists of: - Sister Raffaella Petrini, President of …More
Around 100 motorcyclists gathered with their bikes for a an Open Air Eucharist at the Madonna del Lago church in Castel Gandolfo last Sunday. The annual gathering is led by parish priest and motorcyclist Rev. Tadeusz Rozmus, known as “Don Biker.” During the Novus Ordo, prayers were offered for riders, their families and those killed in road accidents. The bikers then rode in procession through Castel Gandolfo to join Leo XIV for the Angelus. The Pope gave them a special greeting, welcoming the motorcyclists attending their “traditional annual gathering.”
“One of your siblings will attend every funeral, another will attend none, and one will leave this world without any of you being there for theirs.” What a painfully harsh sentence… Because it reminds us of a truth we often prefer not to think about: We are not here forever. One day, we gather around a table, argue over little things, distance ourselves out of pride, stop speaking over something trivial… without realizing that time never promises another opportunity. Siblings grow up. Each one takes their own path. Life carries them to different places, and little by little, those gatherings that once seemed endless become memories. And then the moment comes when one chair is left empty. Then another. And we realize far too late that those arguments never mattered, that our pride was far too expensive, that we had more time than we thought and less time than we imagined. Perhaps one of us will be the one who stays behind, the one who watches everyone else leave with tears in their eyes. …More
Saint Lawrence Justinian cybrotius Lawrence Justinian was a member of the well-known Giustiniani family, which includes several saints. His brothers were Leonardo and Marco. The piety of his mother seems to have served as an inspiration for his own spirituality, as he chose a life of prayer and service. In 1404, after he had been ordained a deacon, at the suggestion of an uncle who was a priest, he joined a community of canons regular following a monastic form of life on the island of San Giorgio in Alga. He was admired by his fellows for his poverty, mortification, and fervency of prayer. Two years after his ordination to the Catholic priesthood in 1407, the community accepted the Rule of St. Augustine. He was chosen to be the first prior of the community. Lawrence promoted the Constitutions which had been established for the Canons Regular of St. George, which was embraced by other communities of Canons in the region and shortly thereafter he became the Prior General of a …More
