CARDINAL OUELLET WINS QUEBEC ABUSE CASE | SG News Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect emeritus of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Bishops, has won a civil defamation lawsuit in Quebec after a Superior Court judge ruled that sexual misconduct accusations made against him were unfounded. The decision was issued on August 31, 2026, by Justice Martin Castonguay, who ordered former lay pastoral assistant Paméla Groleau to pay Cardinal Ouellet C$100,000 in damages for the harm caused to his reputation. The dispute arose after Cardinal Ouellet was named in a 2022 class action against the Archdiocese of Quebec involving allegations of sexual abuse spanning several decades. Groleau accused the cardinal of non-consensual physical contact on several occasions between 2008 and 2010. Cardinal Ouellet consistently denied the allegations and later launched a defamation action seeking to restore his reputation. In its ruling, the Quebec Superior Court identified inconsistencies in Groleau’s account and …མང་བ།

A visiting priest celebrated for a congregation largely made up of people in their 20s and 30s. There are no dedicated Mass parishes in Vietnam, so celebrations remain occasional and sometimes depend on visiting foreign priests.

The Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem has become a spitting center for Jewish extremists. Every day there is a hateful incident, and every day there is impunity. "Why did you spit?" "I spat on purpose!" "Why?" "I spat on your stinking monastery!"
This spitting is a minor problem, considering that is happening. Secondly, it is much more easy to spit having Jerusalem recognized as the Zionist capital, isn't it?
Rev. Edgard Rimaycuna, 36, Leo XIV’s personal secretary, was a disciple of Father Eleuterio Vásquez, called “Lute”. This former priest from Chiclayo is accused of sexually abusing girls aged 9 and 11. The information is revealed in the book The Shepherd and the Wolves, as reported by InfoVaticana. The book was written by Peruvian author Santiago Roncagliolo and is sympathetic toward Leo XIV. Lute was investigated so poorly under Bishop Robert Prevost of Chiclayo that the case remained unresolved. After becoming Pope, Leo XIV granted Lute’s request for laicization in September 2025. This brought the canonical proceedings to an end, thus avoiding a guilty verdict. Close Collaboration Between Prevost and Lute In recounting the relationship between Bishop Prevost and Father Lute - at the time the diocese’s most popular priest and promoter of devotion to the Child of the Miracle of Eten - Roncagliolo writes: “Fighting together brought the bishop and the priest very close.

Bishop Ángel Javier Pérez Pueyo of Barbastro-Monzón, Spain, has said he would offer his resignation rather than sign a settlement under which the statue of Our Lady of the Angels of Torreciudad remains permanently at the Opus Dei sanctuary. The bishop drew his red line in a public letter on 31 August, ahead of the image’s return to its ancient hermitage on 5 September for the 47th Pilgrimage of the Virgins of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe. That return is temporary. It has been authorized by Archbishop Alejandro Arellano Cedillo, the pontifical commissioner for Torreciudad. After the pilgrimage, the image is due to return to the sanctuary. Bishop Pérez Pueyo’s threat concerns the final settlement: he refuses to accept an arrangement under which the statue remains there permanently and returns to the hermitage only on special occasions. He would "never sign such an unlikely act of plundering your dignity," he wrote, adding he would instead offer his resignation. The dispute has effectively been …མང་བ།
A Bishop is willing to resign over the location of a sacred image, but not over ongoing sacrilegious practices that continue in so many churches in one's diocese, abuses of the Blessed Sacrament, LGBTQ processions and Masses, etc.. Where is the like zeal of any Bishop for the such causes?

Leo XIV’s Prayer Intention Is … for the Care of Water: In September 2026, Leo XIV invites Catholics around the world to pray for the care of water. In his monthly prayer intention, he reminds Christians that access to clean water should be a right. “We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders.” He encourages Christians to reject waste and pollution and to use natural resources responsibly. Caring for water, he says, is both an expression of love for creation and an act of solidarity with the poor.
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of September is to pray for care of water: “Lord of Life, you have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We thank you because it is also a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through baptism. Today, we ask you to teach us to safeguard it with gratitude, justice, and responsibility. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. We see with pain, so many brothers and sisters, who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. May your Spirit make us pilgrims of the essential, able to live with simplicity, denouncing waste and pollution, defending the right of every brother and sister to drink without fear and without inequality. May our care for water, be a sign of love for the Creator, and a commitment to the lives of …མང་བ།

France Requires Life Insurers to Cover Assisted Deaths: France’s new assisted-dying law requires life insurers to pay benefits when a policyholder dies through euthanasia. This applies even when the policy normally excludes suicide during its first year. It also applies to contracts signed before the law took effect. After repeated Senate opposition, the National Assembly approved the euthanasia law on July 15. The Constitutional Council upheld the contested provisions on August 14. The law was promulgated on August 18.
