Today, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Gerard Nash, 67, as Bishop of Ossory while he remains also Bishop of Ferns. The pope united two neighboring Irish dioceses in persona episcopi. Under this arrangement, both dioceses retain for now their separate legal identities but are entrusted to the same bishop. Bishop Nash has led the Diocese of Ferns since 2021 and has served as Apostolic Administrator of Ossory since January 2026. Together, the two dioceses serve less than 200,000 Catholics. The appointment marks another step in the ongoing restructuring of the shrinking Church in Ireland. The policy of diocesan consolidation is clearly expanding beyond western Ireland While three previous in persona episcopi unions took place within the Ecclesiastical Province of Tuam in western Ireland, the union of Ferns and Ossory is the first outside that province.

«الأفعال المثلية بغيضة بشكل خاص في عيون الله»: كتب الكاردينال جوزيف زين (94 عامًا) من هونغ كونغ في مدونته يوم 27 يوليو عن القوى الشريرة التي تغرينا، بما في ذلك شهوات الجسد. «بالطبع، لا تقتصر الأخلاق والقيم على الوصيتين السادسة والتاسعة فحسب، لكن الخطايا من هذا النوع هي الأسهل في الإدمان عليها. لا سيما خطايا مجتمع المثليين والمثليات ومزدوجي الميل الجنسي ومغايري الهوية الجنسية (LGBTQ) — فهي تنتهك تمامًا خطة الخالق للبشرية». وأضاف الكاردينال زين أن الأفعال المثلية «لا تُسمى خطيئة في الكتاب المقدس فحسب، بل هي رجس (مقيتة بشكل خاص) في عيون الله». وكتب أيضًا: «لقد أمطر الله الرحيم نارًا لتدمير سدوم».
Rev. Gerald Murray Questions Vatican's Rupnik Trial: The New York-based canon lawyer criticises the lack of transparency in the Vatican's canonical trial against Marko Rupnik. "Why don't we know who the judges are?" he asked talking to Raymond Arroyo on 25 July. Rev Murray also pointed out that "we don't know which charges" are being levelled against Rupnik. Finally, he argues that victims who provided evidence should have the right to participate in the process. "The whole thing is a horrific problem."

Berlin’s homosex march 'Christopher Street Day' is a “joyful and moving celebration.” That is what pro-homosexual Archbishop Heiner Koch of Berlin told KNA on Sunday. He spoke after an attack on the march on Saturday evening. One woman was killed, and at least 31 others were injured, some of them seriously. The attacker, Abdul B., 21, drove a car into the crowd and was later - conveniently for the justice system and politicians - shot dead during a police operation. The full context of Archbishop Koch's statement is: "How terrible! To brutally destroy such a joyful and moving celebration. We keep all the victims, their families, friends, and everyone whose joy has been taken away by hatred in our prayers. Hatred must not prevail." Abdul B. was born in Berlin in 2005 and grew up there. His parents are from Lebanon, and he held German citizenship. His family belongs to a large extended clan. He had been known to the security authorities for years and was considered part of the Islamist …المزيد

New Zealand to Build First New Cathedral in Over 120 Years: The Diocese of Christchurch has unveiled the design for the new Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, which will stand on the site of the original cathedral destroyed after the devastating Canterbury earthquakes (2010-2011). The new cathedral will preserve historic stained-glass windows. It's a roughly $80 million New Zealand dollar project (about US$46m). The diocese is currently in a fundraising phase. Partner is the architecture firm Warren and Mahoney. The style is "an ancient design, a Romanesque and Gothic hybrid model".

اليوم، عيّن البابا ليو الرابع عشر الأسقف جيرارد ناش، البالغ من العمر 67 عامًا، أسقفًا لأوسوري، مع احتفاظه أيضًا بمنصب أسقف فيرنز. وقد قام البابا بدمج أبرشيتين أيرلنديتين متجاورتين في إطار نظام «in persona episcopi». وبموجب هذا الترتيب، تحتفظ كلتا الأبرشيتين في الوقت الحالي بهويتيهما القانونيتين المنفصلتين، لكنهما توكلتا إلى نفس الأسقف. يقود الأسقف ناش أبرشية فيرنز منذ عام 2021، كما شغل منصب المدير الرسولي لأوسوري منذ يناير 2026. وتخدم الأبرشيتان معًا أقل من 200,000 كاثوليكي. يمثل هذا التعيين خطوة أخرى في عملية إعادة الهيكلة الجارية للكنيسة المتقلصة في أيرلندا. ومن الواضح أن سياسة دمج الأبرشيات تتوسع لتتجاوز غرب أيرلندا وفي حين جرت ثلاث عمليات دمج سابقة «بصفته الأسقف» داخل المقاطعة الكنسية لتوام في غرب أيرلندا، فإن دمج فيرنز وأوسوري هو الأول خارج تلك المقاطعة. صورة: Gerard Nash, press picture, ترجمة الذكاء الاصطناعي
A 31-year-old Polish man, identified by regional media as Bartłomiej Włodzimierz Krakowiak, has been arrested for vandalizing the Marian shrine of Medjugorje during the night of 27–28 July, just days before Mladifest, which is expected to attract around 50,000 young pilgrims. "Medjugorje Is a Deception" The suspect allegedly poured black paint over statues of the Virgin Mary on Apparition Hill and at the Blue Cross, wrote "Devil in a skirt" on one statue. He hung banners accusing the six visionaries of being "frauds - I have proof", spray-painted slogans including "Medjugorje is a deception," "Only Jesus," and "Mary = devil," and set fire to the recently renovated outdoor altar behind St. James Church. He was arrested hours later in Černo, near Ljubuški, heading toward the Croatian border. Former Pilgrim The case is particularly striking because the suspect had previously visited Medjugorje as a pilgrim. Regional media report that in 2017 he walked 1,300 km from Warsaw to the shrine, …المزيد

[wherepeteris.com] Written byMike Lewis One of the stranger developments surrounding the illicit Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) episcopal consecrations on July 1 was the sudden outbreak of agreement among Catholics across the spectrum that the Society had gone too far — they had committed a schismatic act and had incurred automatic excommunication from the Catholic Church. On the eve of the Écône ceremony, Pope Leo XIV warned the SSPX of the consequences of following through with their plans. On the day after the consecrations, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued the decree of excommunication and its explanatory note confirming that SSPX clergy are in schism. In the days and weeks since, diocesan bishops have warned the faithful not to attend SSPX liturgies and explained the illicit (and sometimes invalid) nature of their sacraments. Very few prominent figures outside the SSPX seem to have taken up their cause. The most conspicuous exceptions — Bishop Athanasius …المزيد
Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington D.C. authorised monthly lay "commentary" during the Eucharist at the Jesuit parish of Holy Trinity in Georgetown, according to BigModernism.Substack.com (July 28). The blog published a letter dated 4 February 2026 and signed by Fr James Casciotti, SJ. The letter responds to concerns raised by a correspondent about the parish's liturgical practices.
