LA GHIGLIOTTINA, IL PAPA A PARIGI E IL RITORNO INASPETTATO DELLA FEDE Un’illuminante riflessione di mons. Rob Mutsaerts su Vitamin Exp commenta il trionfale viaggio di Papa Leone XIV in Francia, mettendo a confronto il fallimento delle ideologie laiciste con la permanente attrattiva della fede. I punti salienti dell’articolo: I paradossi della Rivoluzione: Nata con la promessa di libertà, la Rivoluzione francese sfociò nel Terrore, nella ghigliottina e nella creazione del grottesco “Culto della Ragione”. Il surrogato woke: L’uomo non può fare a meno della religione. Rifiutato Dio, la cultura laico-progressista ha inventato il woke: un sistema fondato su colpa e condanna, ma privo della grazia e del perdono cristiano. La smentita delle profezie laiciste: Voltaire ipotizzava la scomparsa della Chiesa, ma le centinaia di migliaia di fedeli a Parigi e l’aumento dei battesimi di adulti dimostrano che la secolarizzazione non è un destino ineluttabile. La vera ribellione: In un mondo …更に表示

A diocesan bishop has undergone a personal “conversion” toward the traditional Latin Mass. Bishop Donald Lippert of Mendi, Papua New Guinea, has come personally to see the beauty and power of the traditional Roman rite. He told AdVaticanum.com on September 29 that he had “over the last year or so, a bit of a conversion myself into the Traditional Latin Mass.” “I am, as many of us are, an amphibian. I exist mainly in the Novus Ordo, because that is the reality in which I live, and the Church that I have been called to serve at the moment.” He has “no problems with the Novus Ordo”, but sees the power of the traditional Mass particularly in its reverence: “The Traditional Latin Mass has a mysticism about it, and a reverence about it, that can touch the hearts of people and draw them closer to God in a world where there are so many distractions pulling them away.” He is still learning to celebrate the Mass. Mass not primarily for educated Western people When someone told him that the Mass …更に表示
Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, is pressing ahead with his plan to ordain married men in 2028. Several married candidates are already being prepared for possible ordination. “I trust that an appropriate regulation can be found by the end of the synodal process in autumn 2028,” Bishop Bonny told Herder Korrespondenz, according to katholisch.de (September 28). Bonny warned that it would be “a fatal blow to the credibility and implementation of the entire synodal process if no regulation were reached by then.” Bishop Bonny also expressed confidence in Pope Leo XIV and his approach to the needs of local Churches. “Like a good father, he knows what his children need, and that is not the same everywhere or for everyone,” Bonny added. He also mentioned that he went to Rome in June with the backing of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference. “Before my visit to the two dicasteries in Rome, the president of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference gave me a letter in which the Bishops’ Conference supports …更に表示
It aint gonna work. A priest is already totally occupied with his priestly duties as well as his prayer life. He does not have time to take care of a family. Being the son of a physician, my father was frequently called out at mealtime to deal with emergencies. A priest must sacrifice and devote all his energies in serving God.
Vatican: late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela responsible for homosexual offences. The Vatican has publicly addressed the long-running case of Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE). The case began formally in May 2020, when Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló established a Special Penal Tribunal to examine allegations against Buela. After hearing the accused, his lawyer and numerous witnesses, the tribunal issued its judgment on 20 July 2021. It found that Buela had committed offences against the sixth commandment in relation to five male members of the Institute. Buela appealed. A Special Penal Tribunal of Appeal was subsequently constituted and conducted additional investigations, including further testimony from Buela and witnesses proposed by his defence. On 30 March 2023, the appellate judges deliberated and voted to confirm the first tribunal’s finding concerning the five cases. Before the appellate judgment could be formally drafted …更に表示
A Quiet ICE Surge That Unfolded ‘Everywhere All at Once’ This Summer nytimes.com/2026/09/25/us/ice-surge-immigration-a… A review of dozens of incidents caught on camera sheds new light on a largely invisible crackdown. The reporters reviewed more than 50 incidents and interviewed more than two dozen lawyers, business owners, residents and detained immigrants and their family members for this story. Published Sept. 25, 2026Updated Sept. 27, 2026 Leer en español The most effective escalation of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign happened quietly. Unlike earlier high-profile raids that drew thousands of protesters into the streets of Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, the surge in arrests in June, July and August was captured mostly by grainy security camera footage, through cracked blinds and from behind closed doors. Arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this summer soared to record highs since the start of this Trump administration — with 43,000 in June, more than …更に表示
New sculpture installed in Vatican gardens: My first associations are a giant outdoor Wi-Fi router, a solar-powered parking meter, a minimalist surveillance camera, a patio table growing out of a bollard, or an unfinished Starlink terminal for the Vatican.
