Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago said advocating for immigrants is an “act of divine worship” that “belongs to every single disciple of Jesus.” Speaking at Chicago’s “City of Welcome” event, he condemned “inhumane immigration enforcement” and opposed “indiscriminate mass deportation.” Cupich explicitly invoked “undocumented workers,” saying Christ is encountered in illegal immigrants.
Ecco perché io "non sono cristiano" (formula usata in Italia, dal miglior Clero, già nel 2018): non rendo culto a Dio
Is God Complicated or Simple, Homily by Fr. John Mary Complicated or Simple | Mission of Divine Mercy Complicated or Simple Introduction: The Complexity of Life God so loved the world. Life is complicated. Life is very complicated—even nature. I was just seeing a photo; they said they have advanced photos of a human cell that they weren’t able to make before, and it’s so complex. And that’s just one tiny cell, and we have so many of them in our body. Just one cell is so complex. Biologists point out that when you touch one thing in nature, it affects other things in ways that we don’t always realize, because there’s so much complexity in nature. The Woodpecker and the Butterfly: Signs of Design Just take one example: the head of a woodpecker. I was just reading about that recently, and the extraordinary engineering of the head of a woodpecker, so that it doesn’t destroy itself in 30 seconds, is really incredible. There’s this special bone-like material that, I think, is not found in any …More

Bishop James Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has revoked the faculties of Fr David Mary Engo who has associated himself with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX), “He is not authorized to exercise public priestly ministry anywhere within the Diocese of Knoxville.” David Mary Engo was ordained a priest in 1997 by then-Bishop Seán P. O’Malley of Fall River, the future Cardinal of Boston. His religious and community status has a somewhat complicated history. He was incardinated into the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend in 2010, while simultaneously being excardinated from the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts. Engo founded a Franciscan community in 2009, professed perpetual vows, and served as the community’s Minister General. In May 2017, he resigned as Minister General and withdrew to a hermitage. By 2021, Engo was described by the Diocese of Knoxville’s newspaper as a Franciscan hermit living in the Diocese of Helena, Montana. Engo subsequently ministered in the Diocese of …More

Pagan ritual during Eucharist in Canadian cathedral. On September 30, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Ottawa incorporated Indigenous ceremonial practices into a Eucharist. There was a purification or “smudging” rite at the beginning. Two Indigenous people approached the clergy in the sanctuary, including the bishop present, and fanned smoke from sacred plants (sweetgrass, cedar, sage and tobacco) toward them in a cleansing gesture. A four-directions prayer followed and the congregation turned to each direction before praying to “the Creator.” The Novus Ordo then continued. Feather rituals were also performed during the Prayers of the Faithful.
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica in Ottawa incorporated an Indigenous purification ceremony, a four-directions prayer and other ceremonial practices into a Mass for Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30.
"It would serve the Pope very well if he laid out in just plain simple terms, yes or no: am I going to continue Pope Francis’s restrictive policies or am I going to return to what Pope Benedict and John Paul II before him did, and to give the reasons for it?", said New York priest Fr. Gerald Murray on October 2 about Leo XIV’s course on the traditional Latin Mass. The canon lawyer was also commenting on a proposal by a Vatican synodal commission to completely revise Canon Law. Murray argues that governance is a gift given by Christ to the apostles and passed to the bishops. Regarding the extension of governance to the laity, he issues a warning: "We’re heading towards Episcopalianism, where lay people actually exercise a governing role in the Anglican Church."
Leo XIV should disclose - yes or no - if he is following Francis' way or not.
In the traditional Latin Mass, the sacrificial character is “very strongly visible,” Eduard Habsburg said at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 3. He spent 54 years in the Novus Ordo before discovering the Latin Mass, which “gives you space to sink into prayer and to contemplate and to meditate.” He also contrasted the two forms of the Mass: In the Latin Mass, “the sacrifice is very strongly visible.” But “in today’s Mass it is present but not as much in the forefront as in the Latin Mass.”
Eduard Habsburg, former Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See: “If you follow the Traditional Latin Mass every day, you will notice that the reality of sacrifice, dying for the sins of others, giving your blood for the others — just the sacrifice is very strongly visible.”
Unfortunately, the credibility of this conference was undercut by the way it attempted to delete one of its featured speakers simply for criticizing the Novus Ordo. The message this sends is troubling: you can have your traditional Catholic practices and traditions, so long as you ignore—or at least tolerate—the coexistence of an ever-evolving rite that, in important respects, contradicts what those traditions affirm. At that point, Catholics are effectively being asked to treat their rite as nothing more than a hat they put on occasionally, rather than as an integral expression of their Catholic faith and identity.
Today's Saudi offensive—an attempt to retake the Yemeni Red Sea coast—ended in total collapse The operation involved 100 Saudi fighter jets, thousands of fighters, and hundreds of military vehicles. Initially, Saudi-backed forces, supported by the 100 fighter jets, managed to capture Marib and the Dhubab airport. However, Iranian drones and missiles proved far more effective than the 100 fighter jets; the offensive was quickly halted, and Saudi forces withdrew completely. Saudi media—including major outlets like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya—had begun spreading widespread fake news claiming the capture of the strategic city of Mokha, only for the entire story to be immediately exposed as a massive lie. In addition to that disaster for Saudi forces, the third-largest city, Taiz—along with thousands of their fighters—fell under a complete siege by the Houthis. megatron_ron/ +++ BREAKING: An US MH-60R Seahawk helicopter has crushed just off the coast of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia megatron_ron/
Bishop Donald Lippert, missionary Bishop of Mendi in Papua New Guinea, warns that the missionary crisis has now come home: “The West is missionary territory again.” And, more provocatively: “The Church is missionary territory again.” Bishop warns the Church to substitute dialogue and social work for evangelization: “Presence without proclamation eventually becomes humanitarianism or NGOism.”

A Front Line at the Border: How Russia Uses Migrants as Weapons Against Europe nytimes.com/…/10/02/world/europe/latvia-immigrati… The scheme is part of Russia’s larger strategy for sowing discord in the West, if more subtle than other recent operations blamed on the Kremlin. By Adam Goldman and Michael Schwirtz The reporters have covered Russian sabotage extensively and visited Riga this year and last to learn more about Russian attacks against Latvia. Oct. 2, 2026 Leer en español It seemed a small act of vandalism. A man was caught on a surveillance camera in August cutting through a border fence from Belarus into Latvia, where he bashed another such camera with a pole before fleeing back to where he had come from. Yet his crime was also emblematic of a broader security threat emanating from Belarus and its close ally Russia, Latvian officials, including the foreign minister, Baiba Braže, said in interviews in Riga. The Russian and Belarusian intelligence services are facilitating an …More
