Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht celebrated his first public Mass in the Roman rite on Sunday at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (known as the Grote Kerk) in Oss, the Netherlands. In his homily (video below), he spoke about the Gospel of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Cardinal Eijk recounted an example from the 1950s in the Netherlands. A priest teaching religion at a Catholic school told students that the multiplication of the loaves should not be taken literally, since such a miracle would be impossible. Instead, he explained it as a moral story: people shared the food they already had because they were inspired by Jesus’ preaching about love. Eijk added that this kind of denial destroyed the faith of many Catholics. He recalled that in the 1950s and 1960s the once-strong Church in the Netherlands collapsed, identifying one of the causes as poor preaching by clergy who themselves undermined belief. According to him, the faith of once-convinced Catholics was “…Aswan
The Vatican appeals court has declared the trial of Cardinal Angelo Becciu invalid, overturning his 2023 conviction and ordering a full retrial to begin June 22. In a 16-page ruling, the court found on Tuesday procedural errors by both prosecutors and Pope Francis. It did not rule on Cardinal Becciu’s guilt or innocence, but concluded the original proceedings were flawed. The indictment was nullified for two main reasons. First, Francis issued four secret decrees granting prosecutors expanded powers, including surveillance. These decrees were never published and were disclosed to the defense only shortly before trial. The court ruled that at least one decree effectively functioned as law and, because it was not made public, was legally invalid. Second, prosecutors were found to have withheld and redacted key evidence, including phone records and messages. The court said this violated the defendants’ right to a fair trial. The ruling is historic, because it raises questions about the …Aswan
The integration of millions of Muslim immigrants into Europe is impossible and would change the culture, provoking civil wars, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told EuropeanConservative.com on March 15: "In almost all Muslim countries, Christian communities are oppressed." Politicians and citizens must decide whether they want to be marginalised in their own countries, he said, mentioning an increase in attacks against churches and Christian values. "But it is also our fault," he added, suggesting that immigration is related to falling birth rates. "I remember when I was young, there was harsh politics against the family, matrimony and children. This demographic catastrophe is man-made. Like in China with their stupid one-child policy." Cardinal Müller notes that anti-familial forces have been unleashed upon the population. "It’s a natural feeling to want children if you are married," he said. "It’s against nature and against grace not to." "The state is only there for the common good and …Aswan

Just because you do not agree with someone does not mean you should be mean and nasty to that person. That person is a child of God. Spitting and name calling are completely uncalled for and very undignified.
Kardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has reopened the parish church Thomas Morus in Munich-Sendling with a Eucharist on Sunday. The renovation project began in 2021 and cost approximately €17.9 million. Works included repairs to the roof, façade, technical systems, and the large stained-glass window at the front of the church. The most significant change is the addition of a parish hall on an emporium inside the church, complete with a kitchenette. This new structure is separated from the church interior by a large glass construction.

St. Patrick for Adults Summary St. Patrick is not the sentimental figure of cultural celebration, but a real man formed through suffering, conversion, and mission. Kidnapped as a youth and enslaved in Ireland, he encountered God not in comfort but in hardship. His isolation became the ground of prayer, dependence, and interior transformation. What makes Patrick extraordinary is not simply that he escaped, but that he returned. He went back to the very people who had enslaved him, not in anger, but in obedience to a divine call. His life embodies the Gospel pattern: suffering transformed into mission, injury answered with charity, and fear overcome by vocation. Patrick did not conquer Ireland by force. He converted it through truth, holiness, and spiritual authority. He engaged a pagan culture without capitulating to it, transforming it from within through clarity of teaching and fidelity to the faith, including his articulation of the Trinity. For us, his life is not merely history but …Aswan
