Leo has appointed Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera, who was auxiliary bishop of Cuzco since 2021 and had been promoted to the episcopate by Francis, as coadjutor archbishop of Cuzco in Peru. Bishop Estrada is the General Secretary of CELAM, the Latin American Bishops' Council. In July 2024, he referred to migrants as “suffering Christs,” as reported by NCR Online. He also stated that it is incoherent to receive Holy Communion while refusing to recognize Christ in migrants: “You can’t kneel in front of the Eucharist… and not also see that same God in the migrant.” He was chosen as a Synod delegate and is closely associated with the Latin American episcopal current shaped by synodality, social doctrine, Amazon, and the pastoral language of the Francis era. Bishop Estrada also participated this year in the Southern Macro-regional Gathering "Interweaving Voices for Dignity"—presented by Vatican News as part of the preparations for Pope Francis's visit to Peru—which opened without any Catholic …More
Silicon Valley “Neighborhood Masses” Fuse Eucharist and Community Organizing. Worse than Germany: One Saturday a month, Rev. Rick Rodoni, pastor of St. Lucy Parish in the heart of Silicon Valley, celebrates pop-up “Neighborhood Masses.” Posters declare that “everyone is welcome!” The Eucharist is celebrated in a parking area, with a makeshift altar and folding chairs. The liturgy is combined with “community listening sessions.” After the Liturgy of the Word, tables are available for neighbors to express their concerns “during the Mass.”
29.08.2026 MOTHER - TERESA PRIEST FORCED TO LEAVE ROME FOR GHANA : LIFE IS IN DANGER THERE Over the year so many Muslims, including those in the police have been pressurizing Fr. Stephen Yaw Manu, the Superior at Casa Serena, to put me out because of my Catholic beliefs on Islam and Mohammad and other religions, in line with Vatican Council II. He refused. Now he is being forced out of the country. Also on Sept 10 this center will close. I will be out on the streets, open to physical attacks, because of my religion. Fr. Stephen will have to return to Ghana, a Muslim country. His life will be in danger. He will not be allowed to return to Europe like in the case of Sister Elli Bennetti. She was a religious nun with a French community, the Institute of Our Lady of Lourdes, Via Sistina, Rome. A Brazilian Sister, she would help me with food. There was a campaign against her by Muslims, including the Muslim police. She had to leave Italy and over the last few years has not been able to travel …More
Jeremiah 20:7-9 “I say I will not mention God, I will no longer speak in his name.” This is a mistake, especially since we often think about what we reject. Welcoming God’s love is better. Let us not confuse people with God. Romans 12:1-2 “Be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” What are our thoughts? Let us make peace with our memories, and we will be more present with God. Matthew 16:21-27 Peter to Jesus: “God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.” We cannot block God’s love. Let us move forward in peace with God. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira There is a universal crisis inside society today that seeks to overturn all things Christian. Catholic thinker Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira called this universal crisis the Revolution - with a capital R. He held that the two driving forces of this Revolution are the vices of pride and sensuality. The following commentaries show how Saint John the Baptists is a model for all those who wish to oppose this Revolution today, especially in fighting its two central vices. Leveling the mountains of pride and filling the valleys of impurity, Saint John the Baptist is a model of those who say no to the present Revolution against Christianity. * Saint John the Baptist said to Herod back then that which no one today dares to say to the Revolution now: It is not lawful for you to do what you are doing. You cannot do it. He told Herod to his face: it is not lawful for you to take your brother’s wife as a wife. Thus, Herod lived in adultery with this woman. By denouncing him …More

Today, Pope Leo XIV has approved the election of Sharbel Ghattas Maroun as the new Maronite Catholic archbishop of Damascus. A Lebanese-born priest, he has spent much of his ministry in the United States. Archbishop Maroun, 64, was elected by the Synod of Bishops of the Maronite Church. He succeeds Archbishop Samir Nassar, 76, whose resignation was accepted by the synod. Since 2020, Maroun has served as protosyncellus, a senior position comparable to vicar general, of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles. Born January 6, 1962, in Kfarselwan, Lebanon, Maroun briefly worked for Crédit Libanais bank. Older Brother, a Lebanese Forces Fighter, Helped Maroun During Civil War In 1975, Lebnen, the father, and the eldest brother Nassif joined the Kataeb (Phalange) party and took up arms to defend their home. The family's house was confiscated and not recovered for 40 years. In 1981 Lebnen's local group formally joined the Lebanese Forces militia. In 1983, during the Mountain …More
[wherepeteris] Written by Lavoisier Fernandes We live in an age increasingly suspicious of objective truth and universal moral authority. In a culture shaped by postmodern thinking, truth can become intensely personal — something determined less by what is true than by what I believe to be true. Social media has amplified this tendency, giving everyone a platform, an audience, and, sometimes, the illusion that every opinion carries equal authority. St. John Paul II anticipated this crisis of truth in Fides et Ratio(1998), warning against reducing the search for meaning to “merely human argumentation.” For Christianity, truth is not simply an idea to be constructed or a preference to be asserted. Truth has a face: Jesus Christ Yet a crisis of truth inevitably becomes a crisis of authority. If truth is reduced to personal conviction, a fundamental question follows: Who has the authority to tell me what is true? “Cafeteria Catholicism” in a Polarized Church That question has not remained …More
