The important Italian movement Communion and Liberation (CL), with considerable economic power, has not put up with Francis' interference, writes Francesco Balducci on AldoMariaValli.it. - After Francis' election, Don Julián Carrón, a Ratzingerian who was then head of the CL, became more Bergoglian than Bergoglio almost overnight. - But Francis removed him two years ago anyway; he appointed Davide Prosperi as the new superior of the CL; the Memores Domini, the consecrated arm of the CL, were placed under a commissioner. - Carrón and his followers didn't accept this and set up a parallel structure within the CL. - Francis intervened to tell Carrón to stop his activism. - But after a few months, Carrón went back to holding meetings under the guise of a foundation that runs vocational training courses. - For this reason, Don Carrón was recently summoned to the Vatican again, but this too did not help much. - About 80 per cent of CL is on his side and he controls virtually all the local …More

EWTN-Norge: Elisabeth Hesselblad (1870-1957) was canonized in 2016, as the first Swedish saint since the late middle ages. She immigrated to the United States in 1888, where she converted to the Catholic Church. Her life mission became to bring the Bridgettine order back to Rome, to the house of Saint Bridget, and to Sweden. She founded a new branch of Bridgettines that now has many convents worldwide, particularly in India. This film focuses especially on her early life as she describes it in her memoirs.
