Bishops who prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on October 22 are distancing themselves from the event, accusing the White House of exploiting their prayer for political purposes just twelve days before the midterm elections. Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, denied endorsing Trump or the Republicans. He said the bishops had not authorized publication of the footage and expressed sadness that a sacred act had been manipulated. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized, saying he regretted ignoring his reservations. Des Moines Bishop William Joensen admitted he had been naive and accused others of partisan exploitation. The bishops said they expected private discussions on immigration, religious-worker visas, human dignity and education. Instead, they were directed to stand behind Trump for prayer. The meeting was arranged with help from Mario Enzler of the conservative Heritage Foundation, architect of Project 2025. Enzler previously resigned …More

"Uniting spiritually" with pagans and heretics? At today’s Angelus, Leo XIV remembered the interreligious Assisi scandal of 1986. He said: “The day after tomorrow, October 27, let us unite spiritually with the heads of Churches and religious leaders who will gather in Assisi on the 40th anniversary of the meeting convened by Saint John Paul II.”

«THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» Card. Roger Etchegaray «THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI» The spirit of Assisi: it was Pope John Paul II who coined the expression. Since October 27th 1986, this "spirit" has been felt a little everywhere, losing none of the power of its first flowering. I have no intention of playing the old gardener, but, having been a fascinated witness of its germination in the Pope's thought and the privileged artisan of its blooming, I feel I can affirm: on that day I heard the world's heart-beat.

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."
