Uskup Agung John C. Wester dari Santa Fe, New Mexico, yang mendukung kaum homoseksual, membela “hak tetangga-tetangga Muslim kita untuk beribadah” dalam sebuah pernyataan pada 27 Juli. Dalam beberapa pekan terakhir, ia telah mendengar kekhawatiran dari sejumlah warga terkait usulan pembangunan masjid dan pusat komunitas di kawasan North Valley, Albuquerque. "Tetangga-tetangga Muslim kita memiliki hak yang sama, yang diberikan oleh Tuhan dan dilindungi konstitusi, untuk beribadah secara bebas seperti komunitas agama lainnya, termasuk komunitas kita sendiri. Membela hak tersebut bukan hanya kewajiban sipil, tetapi juga merupakan unsur inti dari ajaran Katolik," tulis Uskup Agung tersebut. Menurut Monsignor Wester, mendukung pembangunan masjid sepenuhnya sejalan dengan tradisi Katolik dan komitmen moral. Ia mendesak umat Katolik untuk “memilih rasa hormat, dialog, dan hidup berdampingan secara damai.” Pada tahun 2025, terungkap bahwa Uskup Agung Wester mendukung dan tinggal bersama seorang …Lebih

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."

Seorang pria asal Polandia berusia 31 tahun, yang diidentifikasi oleh media regional sebagai Bartłomiej Włodzimierz Krakowiak, telah ditangkap karena merusak tempat ziarah Maria di Medjugorje pada malam tanggal 27–28 Juli, hanya beberapa hari sebelum Mladifest, yang diperkirakan akan menarik sekitar 50.000 peziarah muda.

Dia menggantung spanduk yang menuduh keenam penerima penampakan sebagai "penipu - saya punya buktinya", menyemprotkan slogan-slogan termasuk "Medjugorje adalah penipuan," "Hanya Yesus," dan "Maria = iblis," serta membakar altar luar ruangan yang baru saja direnovasi di belakang Gereja St. James.

Pro-homosexual Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, defended "our Muslim neighbors' right to worship" in a July 27 statement. He had heard in recent weeks concerns from some residents regarding the proposal to build a mosque and community center in Albuquerque's North Valley. "Our Muslim neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own. Defending that right is not only a civic duty but a core element of Catholic teaching", the Archbishop wrote. According to Monsignor Wester, supporting the construction of a mosque is entirely consistent with Catholic tradition and moral commitments. He urged Catholics to "choose respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence." In 2025, it emerged that, Archbishop Wester promoted and lived with a priest who had spent ten years in a registered homosexual relationship. Picture: AI, #newsXofkbkkgnx
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. Fr Casciotti addresses several issues, including chatting until just before the Eucharist. The key passage states: "You should know that the Cardinal has given permission for lay commentary once a month at Holy Trinity [...]". The letter does not identify the cardinal by name. In February 2026, Cardinal Robert McElroy was Archbishop of Washington, having been appointed in January 2025 and installed in March 2025. Separately, the blog cites a firsthand account from a reader alleging that the practice involved a woman delivering what functioned as the homily during Mass under the name "commentary."

THE SEVEN WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS 1. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Lk 23:34) O loving tenderness of Jesus towards men! St. Augustine says that when the Savior was injured by his enemies, he besought pardon for them; for he thought not so much of the injuries he received from them, and the [280] death they inflicted upon him, as upon the love which brought him to die for them. But some may say, Why did Jesus pray to the Father to pardon them, when he himself could have forgiven their injuries? St. Bernard replies that he prayed to the Father, not because he could not himself forgive them, but that he might teach us to pray for them that persecute us. The holy abbot …Lebih

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.

– Folha de S. Paulo, May 16, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira We still live — and increasingly so — under the banner of openness. Therefore, comments on current Brazilian affairs often mention this. ‘Openness’ here means the freedom for everyone to think, speak, act, move freely, and do more or less whatever they want; a freedom that constantly expands and therefore has no clear limits. Many believed that once this freedom was established, everything in the country would be heading toward resolution. They overlooked that liberalizations without clear boundaries neither create nor strengthen true freedom. Since they tend to allow everyone to do whatever they want, these liberalizations can actually lead to chaos, and eventually to an even worse dictatorship. In fact, undefined liberalization inevitably turns chaotic, and gradually, a terrible enemy emerges before them. This enemy is an unwritten law, not created through legislation, but painfully real, howling, originating from the …Lebih
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.

Medjugorje's Answer Was Not Anger; It Was Prayer, Forgiveness, and Hope - Shalom World News They covered Our Lady with paint. They tried to scar a place of prayer. But they could not extinguish what lives in the hearts of believers. The wounds inflicted on the sacred spaces of Medjugorje have already begun to heal. Volunteers and parish workers immediately came together to clean, restore, and prepare the sanctuary once again, ensuring that every pilgrim can continue to encounter Christ in prayer under the loving gaze of the Queen of Peace. Yet the most powerful response has not been brushes, water, or repairs—it has been the Gospel. For more than forty years, Our Lady's message in Medjugorje has remained the same: pray, fast, forgive, and choose peace. In the face of hatred, the parish has chosen mercy. Instead of anger, it offers forgiveness. Instead of condemnation, it prays for the conversion of those responsible, asking that God's grace touch their hearts and lead them back to the …Lebih
Medjugorjes Antwort war nicht Wut; sie war Gebet, Vergebung und Hoffnung - Shalom World News Sie beschmierten die Muttergottes mit Farbe. Sie versuchten, einen Ort des Gebets zu entstellen. Doch sie konnten nicht auslöschen, was in den Herzen der Gläubigen lebt. Die Wunden, die den heiligen Stätten von Medjugorje zugefügt wurden, beginnen bereits zu heilen. Freiwillige und Gemeindemitarbeiter schlossen sich sofort zusammen, um das Heiligtum zu reinigen, zu restaurieren und erneut vorzubereiten, damit jeder Pilger Christus weiterhin im Gebet unter dem liebevollen Blick der Königin des Friedens begegnen kann. Doch die stärkste Antwort waren nicht Pinsel, Wasser oder Reparaturen – es war das Evangelium. Seit über vierzig Jahren ist die Botschaft der Muttergottes in Medjugorje dieselbe: beten, fasten, vergeben und den Frieden wählen. Angesichts des Hasses hat die Gemeinde die Barmherzigkeit gewählt. Statt Zorn bietet sie Vergebung an. Statt Verurteilung betet sie für die Bekehrung der …Lebih
