Новият бразилски епископ, назначен от Лъв XIV, насърчава амазонския обред, който цени „представата за Бога“ на коренните народи. На 18 септември Лео XIV назначи 58-годишния епископ Антонио Фонтинеле де Мело за епископ на Рио Бранко, Бразилия, който досега беше епископ на Хумаита. Дългогодишно участие в CEB Епископ Фонтинеле е известен предимно с участието си в Основните църковни общности (CEB) в Бразилия. Те поставят акцент върху Свещеното Писание, участието на миряните, организацията на общността и социалната дейност. Той беше пасторален координатор в Порто Вельо (2005–2010 г.), помогна за организирането на събранието на Основните църковни общности „Дозиньо“ през 2008 г. и беше съветник на бразилските епископи от Северозападния регион по въпросите на Основните църковни общности (2009–2012 г.). Прекарал е четири години в националната им структура, преди да бъде избран за епископ на Хумаита през 2020 г. В Бразилия те имат силни исторически връзки с теологията на освобождението, екологичния …Още
Last Sunday, there was another bomb attack on a church in Syria. This time, however, no one was killed or injured. Security camera footage shows a masked man placing the bomb underneath a car parked directly in front of the Greek Orthodox St. George’s Cathedral in Hama. The bomb exploded later that evening. September 14 (the day after the attack) is traditionally celebrated in the Greek Orthodox Church as the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. There was no church service taking place in the cathedral at the time, which likely saved many lives. However, the church was damaged in the attack, and many windows were shattered by the explosion. Children were playing in the church courtyard nearby, but they too were unharmed. Nevertheless, the shock runs deep. Christians see the attack as a clear signal directed against them. Since the attack on St. Elias Church in Damascus last year, in which 22 Christians were killed, there have been repeated attacks and threats against Syria’s shrinking …Още
The Catholic Decline: The Decline of Catholic Mass Attendance Has Mass attendance been in decline since the 1970s? Yes. We all know it has. And I already know the responses: “It’s because of secularism. The French Revolution. People stopped believing in God. Pornography. Politics. The sexual revolution.” Okay, yes. Those things absolutely matter, and I’m not denying any of that. But can we just be honest here? The Mass was changed, and after those changes, Mass attendance declined. Can we just admit that? Why are we so afraid to even acknowledge it? I’m not saying the changes to the Mass are the ONLY reason people stopped going to church. Obviously, this is a much bigger and more complicated issue. But if we’re going to have an honest discussion about the decline of Catholicism, we can’t pretend that the changes to the liturgy are completely irrelevant. You can believe that the Novus Ordo is valid. You can love the Novus Ordo. You can believe that Vatican II was necessary. Fine. But none …Още

L'annonce fut faite devant une cathédrale comble, accueillie par de longs applaudissements et des mouchoirs blancs agités. Le miracle se manifesta immédiatement, lorsque le cardinal Domenico Battaglia reçut les ampoules de l'abbé de la chapelle royale du Trésor et les montra aux fidèles. Le rite et l'annonce à 10h04 Quelques secondes avant 10 heures, l'abbé Monseigneur Vincenzo De Gregorio , prélat de la chapelle royale du Trésor de San Gennaro et gardien des reliques, a retiré l'ampoule du coffre-fort de la chapelle. Dès lors, la procession traditionnelle vers le maître-autel a débuté, le cardinal Domenico Battaglia présentant le reliquaire.

Венецианският патриарх Франческо Моралия подкрепя предложението за изграждане на джамия за мюсюлманската/бангладешката общност във Венеция. Общинската администрация на Венеция, начело с кмета Симоне Вентурини, не одобри предложението за джамия през август. На 15 септември патриарх Моралия изрази подкрепата си за това мюсюлманите да имат място за поклонение: „Ако една религия зачита човешкото достойнство и най-уязвимите, тогава тя има правото да има място за поклонение.“

Лео XIV – назначеният за архиепископ в ООН иска да ограничи свободата на словото. Новият постоянен наблюдател на Светия престол към ООН, архиепископ Кристоф Ел-Касис, изнесе първата си реч в ООН на 17 септември. Архиепископът отхвърли „всяка форма на нетърпимост, дискриминация и реч на омразата“. И добави: „Всяка реч на омразата – насочена към отделни лица или общности поради тяхната религия, раса, националност или друга характеристика – противоречи на заповедта да обичаме ближния си.“ Той счита, че тя „отрова публичния дискурс, подклажда разделението и твърде често подготвя почвата за насилие и преследване“. Думите, които умишлено провокират омраза, „не могат да претендират за защита в името на свободата“. През юли папа Лъв XIV назначи монсеньор Ел-Касис за представител при Организацията на обединените нации.

The home of Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, in Florence was burgled while he was in Britain. The Albanian cardinal was received by King Charles III at Balmoral Castle on September 15. According to Corriere.it, thieves targeted the Curia-owned apartment in Piazza Duomo where Simoni lives with his nephew Tonin and his family. When his nephew called with the news, the cardinal’s first concern was not the money: “Did they leave the statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje? And Padre Pio?” Told both were untouched, Simoni replied simply: “Allora poco male” - “Then, little harm done.” The burglars smashed through a wall with chisels, forced open an armoured door and ransacked wardrobes, boxes and luggage, leaving their tools on the landing. The haul, estimated at €30,000, included cash, gold, jewellery, medals and a gold seal. Strangely, Simoni’s residence permit was also taken. Tonin and his wife had left around 1 p.m. and returned at 11 p.m. to find the apartment ransacked. Tonin believes the family …Още
The Mystery of the Blood of Saint Januarius September 19 – Memorial of Saint Januarius, Bishop and Martyr Dear brothers and sisters, as you already know, regarding matters not directly concerning the *depositum fidei* (the deposit of faith), the Church has never officially pronounced judgment on the "miraculous" or "supernatural" nature of the events surrounding the blood of Saint Januarius in Naples. Scientific examinations have thus far been prevented by the fact that the two ampoules are sealed with an extremely hard mastic that makes it impossible to open them without breaking the glass. However, spectrographic analysis conducted by professors from the University of Naples has demonstrated that the contents are undoubtedly blood. In any case, the very existence of this blood defies explanation: were the laws of nature to apply, the blood would have long since putrefied and turned to dust. Indeed, as the scholar Professor Gastone Lambertini summarized after years of research: "One …Още
