Leo XIV-appointed Bishop Beat Grögli of St Gallen, Switzerland, knows about the transvestite show organised by the city chaplaincy. Ann-Katrin Gässlein, the chaplaincy’s pastoral worker for Culture and Education, told CatholicHerald.co.uk that the bishop “has been informed about the event in the spirit of transparent communication”. Tomorrow’s transvestite event has been in preparation for “several months.” It was “deliberately conceived as the kickoff for the ‘Deep Drag’ format.” Gässlein claimed that “the art form of drag serves as a medium and a catalyst for conversation, not as a matter of faith.”
In May 2021, Cahill joined 67 other U.S. bishops in urging USCCB president Archbishop José Gomez to halt discussion on “Eucharistic worthiness.” This was about denying abortion politicians such as President Joe Biden Holy Communion. The letter's effort failed outwardly as the bishops proceeded with the debate. But the national confrontation over Communion for pro-abortion politicians never materialized. Bishops on the other side of the dispute, including Archbishops Samuel Aquila and Salvatore Cordileone, publicly criticized the letter.

Statement from Father Brent Bowman Regarding Eucharistic Experience During Mass St Gabriel the Archangel-Hopkins > Statement from Father Brent Bowman Regarding Eucharistic Experience During Mass September 16, 2026 To the good people of God: Praise be Jesus Christ, now and forever! On Monday, September 14, I celebrated the Holy Mass for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Hopkins, MN. Present were Chesterton Academy students, faculty and staff and parishioners of the parish. During the Mass, I had a private spiritual experience while praying the Eucharistic prayer over the bread and wine and I want to humbly share and clarify what I experienced all for God’s glory and praise. In doing so, I also want to correct any misinformation as the Mass recording is being shared online. To clarify up front, my experience was NOT what the Catholic Church considers a “Eucharistic miracle.” The forms of bread and wine retained their accidents (i.e., their …Meira
60 Minutes @60Minutes In an exclusive interview with 60 Minutes, Patrick Clancy says he still talks to his three deceased children all the time. Cora, Dawson and Callan were killed by their mother, Patrick's ex-wife Lindsay, in 2023 and Lindsay recently stood trial for murder. The jury, however, was unable to reach a verdict. The children were 5 years old, 3 years old and 8 months old at the time of their deaths.
Leo XIV udnævner biskop, der modsatte sig forbud mod nadver til Biden. Og: »Jeg tror på Martin Luther King«. Leo XIV udnævnte den 17. september biskop Brendan John Cahill, 62, til ny biskop i Joliet, Illinois. Han har været biskop i bispedømmet Victoria, Texas, siden 2015. I maj 2021 sluttede Cahill sig til 67 andre amerikanske biskopper i en opfordring til USCCB’s formand, ærkebiskop José Gomez, om at standse diskussionen om »eukaristisk værdighed«. Det drejede sig om at nægte politikere, der støtter abort – såsom præsident Joe Biden – adgang til nadveren. Brevets bestræbelse mislykkedes tilsyneladende, da biskopperne fortsatte debatten. Men den nationale konfrontation om nadver til politikere, der går ind for abort, blev aldrig til noget. Biskopper på den anden side af striden, herunder ærkebiskopperne Samuel Aquila og Salvatore Cordileone, kritiserede offentligt brevet. I november 2025 fortalte biskop Cahill til NcReporter, at han er »overbevist om ikke-vold«: »Jeg tror på Martin …Meira

‘Purgatory’ by J. Sadlier; 1886; Chapter I – ‘CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PURGATORY.…’; pages 48-49; part I [Saint Catherine of Genoa – XV-XVI Century AD; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; Aged 62-63; mystic, known for her work among the sick and the poor] CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PURGATORY. The Catholic Church teaches that, besides a place of eternal torments lor the wicked and of everlasting rest for the righteous, there exists in the next life a middle state of temporary punishment, allotted for those who have died in venial sin, or who have not satisfied the justice of God for sins already forgiven. She also teaches us that, although the souls consigned to this intermediate state, commonly called Purgatory, cannot help themselves, they may be aided by the suffrages of the faithful on earth. The existence of Purgatory naturally implies the correlative dogma—the utility of praying for the dead ; for the souls consigned to this middle state have not reached the term of …Meira
A mosque dispute is escalating in Mestre, on the Venetian mainland. A Muslim association linked to the local Bangladeshi community bought a former sawmill for €1.5 million to build an Islamic centre. However, the site would require a municipal change of use. Venice Mayor Simone Venturini says the conditions for approval are not currently met, citing planning and integration concerns. Association president Prince Howlader threatened a strike in late August. He claimed Bangladeshi workers could disrupt tourism, hotels and restaurants. However, workers and unions showed limited support, and the protest was put on hold for talks.

Leo XIV udnævner en forkæmper for interreligiøst samarbejde, monsignor Alfonso Raimo, 67 år, til biskop af Terni-Narni-Amelia i Italien (15. september). Raimo har været hjælpebiskop i Salerno-Campagna-Acerno siden april 2024 og æresmedlem af Rotary Club siden 2025. Grundlægger af en interreligiøs organisation I 2022 blev Skolen for Interreligiøs og Interkulturel Dialog formelt oprettet med Raimo som formand. I et interview i oktober 2023 knyttede Raimo udtrykkeligt sin interreligiøse skoles oprindelse til Johannes Paul II’s møde i Assisi. Han forklarede, at mennesker fra forskellige religioner går sammen, fordi »alle religioner kan yde et bidrag« til at opnå fred. Han betragter dialog »ikke blot som en ønskværdig mulighed, men som en fælles forpligtelse og den eneste bæredygtige vej«. Raimo beskrev fred som en »harmoni mellem forskelle« og opfordrede til at acceptere »mangfoldighed som en mulighed for personlig vækst og samfundsmæssig udvikling«. Kristus gik »dialogens vej« I det samme …Meira
Biskop Strickland afviser det dokument, Vatikanet i går offentliggjorde i anledning af 60-årsdagen for Nostra Aetate. Emeritusbiskop Joseph Strickland fra Tyler, Texas, skrev den 16. september på X.com, at det nye Vatikan-dokument – godkendt af Leo XIV – »må afvises og forkastes af alle, der anser Jesus Kristus og Hans Kirke for at være den eneste vej til Faderen.« Han henviser til §54 om »Håbets vej«: »Den defensive forankring i sin egen holdning og opfattelsen af, at missionering er den eneste måde at indgå i dialog med den anden på, giver ikke længere mening i en verden, der i stigende grad ligner en sammenhængende og konstant udviklende global landsby.« Strickland indvender: »Sandheden er ikke i konstant udvikling; Sandheden er Jesus Kristus, der er til stede blandt os i verden, og Hans Kirke er redskabet til vores frelse.« AI-oversættelse

Belgisk biskop utdanner gifte menn til å bli ordinert til prester innen 2028. Biskop Johan Bonny av Antwerpen i Belgia fortalte LaLibre.be den 14. september om sin plan, som allerede ble kunngjort i mars, om å ordinere gifte menn til prester innen 2028. I juni informerte han to kardinaler i Kurien om sin fremgangsmåte: kardinal Lazarus You Heung-sik, prefekt for Dikasteriet for presteskapet, og kardinal Mario Grech, generalsekretær for Bispesynoden. Monsignor Bonny hevder at tiltaket er drevet «av nødvendighet», og peker på den akutte prestemangelen i Flandern. Antwerpen bispedømme har færre enn 70 prester under 70 år, hvorav to tredjedeler kommer fra utlandet. Kardinalene svarte at de ville drøfte saken med pave Leo XIV. Biskop Bonny har identifisert flere kandidater til prestevigsel. De gjennomgår teologisk og pastoral opplæring som kan sammenlignes med den seminaristene får. Forberedelsene gjennomføres «på en åpen, men diskret måte, utenfor medienes søkelys», understreker han. «…Meira
