Cardinal Domenico Battaglia, 63, of Naples, Italy, wrote the foreword to the book 'Transgender People'. He believes that the Church is called to "renew its gaze upon humanity". The book deals with “complex and sensitive issues,” he writes. His examples are “gender dysphoria, transgender identities, and life experiences that do not conform to traditional models.” This raises “profound questions - including for the Church.” Cardinal Battaglia proposes “a path not of condemnation, but of accompaniment”: “No one is excluded from God’s heart.” And: “No life is foreign to the mystery of salvation.” “Every person, every story - even those that seem distant or difficult to understand - carries within it the possibility of a revelation.” The book “reminds us that behind ideas there are people. People whom we must encounter, listen to, and accompany.” #newsUqdcmgjzfp
Battaglia: transgender identities raise profound questions “even for the Church”; don't “rush to define”; the Church is traversing “uncharted territories.”
Italian bishop closes church after real-estate ad filmed at altar: A Catholic church in Ventimiglia, Italy, was temporarily closed after an estate agent used its altar to film a promotional video for a nearby property. Bishop Antonio Suetta ruled the unauthorized commercial use a profanation and suspended Eucharists until a penitential rite on Sept. 4. The parish priest was reportedly unaware of the filming. The diocese has also announced a formal complaint to authorities.

That would constitute remarkably poor judgement from Rome even if Lizardo Estrada were simply another name passing across the Pope’s desk. But he isn’t — Robert Prevost knows Lizardo Estrada very well. This is not one of those tenuous Vatican connections in which two churchmen happened to occupy neighbouring seats at a conference twenty years ago. Estrada has described Prevost as his professor and his spiritual director. Vatican News itself describes Prevost as Estrada’s formator in the Order of Saint Augustine. Estrada studied under him at Trujillo, where Prevost taught Patristics and Canon Law and served in Augustinian formation. The relationship therefore goes back to Estrada’s formative years as a young religious. Teacher and pupil. Formator and seminarian. Spiritual director and directee. Fellow Augustinians. Later, fellow bishops in Peru. And now Pope and archbishop-elect. Is there anything improper about a pope appointing somebody he knows?
On 3 September, SilereNonPossum.com published a video of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti at an apparently lavish private gathering. In the video, guests can be seen singing together in an opulent setting. 'Some sing while St Peter's Basilica falls apart,' wrote the outlet sarcastically, contrasting the surroundings with Gambetti's Franciscan vows and his public emphasis on humility, poverty, and immigration. SilereNonPossum has repeatedly criticised Cardinal Gambetti’s leadership of St Peter’s Basilica.
C’è chi canta e la basilica di San Pietro cade a pezzi. Il cardinale Mauro Gambetti, come sempre, ama circondarsi di compagnie semplici e umili. I poveri e la preghiera restano, naturalmente, le sue uniche preoccupazioni. In questa umile dimora, con poveri e migranti. Del resto basta guardarlo: anche il saio francescano racconta perfettamente la sua idea di umiltà e povertà. da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum

Fr Edmund Waldstein, a monk and priest of Heiligenkreuz Abbey in Austria, will no longer teach moral theology at the abbey’s seminary. Rector Wolfgang Klausnitzer, 75, a diocesan priest, says Waldstein will not return to teaching during his tenure. Waldstein has defended the death penalty for heretics and Catholic integralism. He has now been removed from teaching and sent to Rome to pursue a further doctorate in philosophy. He has occasionally celebrated the Traditional Latin Mass.

royanewsenglish US President Donald Trump hosted senior Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox rabbis at the White House ahead of Rosh Hashanah, including the two Satmar Grand Rabbis, whose movement opposes political Zionism. During an approximately eight-minute private meeting, Satmar Grand Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum reportedly handed Trump a letter stating that Zionists and 'Israeli' leaders, including Benjamin Netanyahu, do not represent the Jewish people. The letter urged the US administration to treat Hasidic Jews as Jewish Americans rather than representatives of 'Israel' or Zionism. According to Jewish Voice, Trump welcomed the message and said he would discuss it further with his staff. instagram.com/reel/Dc2Nnk8O_lk/
Archbishop Jesús Sanz Montes of Oviedo has backed rallies across Spain in support of Ceuta and Melilla. He criticised Morocco’s “territorial claims” and accused Spain’s government of failing to act. His comments came after more than 70,000 immigrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta on 31 July, overwhelming the Spanish exclave. Around 5,000 are said to remain. A police report cited this week called the mass crossing “planned” and raised possible links to Moroccan security forces. Rallies have since spread across Spain under the slogan: “Ceuta is not for sale — Ceuta must be defended.”

Philippine Couple Weds in Flooded Church: Leian Lieza Galang and Gilbert Chico refused to let flooding ruin their wedding in Hagonoy, north of Manila. The couple exchanged vows in waist-deep water at St. John the Baptist Church after weeks of heavy rain. Around 15 guests waded through brown water to attend. Despite the parish advising them to postpone, the couple went ahead: the bride shortened her wedding dress train and the priest kept the ceremony brief. “We didn’t mind getting soaked,” the groom told media.
Despite severe flooding at St. John the Baptist Parish in Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines, Leian Lieza Galang and Gilbert Chico chose to go forward with their Catholic wedding on Sept. 1. With their clothes soaked and fewer than 15 guests present, they stood before the altar and received the Sacrament of Matrimony.
[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; born: Roman Greece/died: Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian] From the Sixth Chapter 1, 2. And when the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals, I saw, and heard one of the four living creatures saying, Come and see. And, lo, a white horse, and He who sat upon him had a bow. The first seal being opened, he says that he saw a white horse, and a crowned horseman having a bow. For this was at first done by Himself. For after the Lord ascended into heaven and opened all things, He sent the Holy Spirit, whose words the preachers sent forth as arrows reaching to the human heart, that they might overcome unbelief. And the crown on the head is promised to the preachers by the Holy Spirit. The other three horses very plainly signify the wars, famines, and pestilences announced by our Lord in the Gospel. And thus he says that one of the four living creatures said (because all four are one), Come and see. Come is said to him that is …കൂടുതൽ
"3, 4. And when He had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red, and to him that sat upon him was given a great sword. The red horse, and he that sat upon him, having a sword, signify the coming wars, as we read in the Gospel: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be great earthquakes in various places. This is the ruddy horse."
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes WOW. My jaw literally dropped listening to this Muslim in New York City admits they are getting undisclosed donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time to build multi-million dollar mosques in America FROM OVERSEAS MULSIM COUNTRIES Islamic countries are secretly funding the Muslim expansion in America. This is a takeover @NateFriedman97 even shows the design plans for this $4+ million dollar mosque expansion in New York. It’s so grand and expansions it looks like a mega mosque in Pakistan. We need mass deportations and we need them NOW. This cannot wait any longer “Do you get some bigger donations as well, like large donations?” “Yeah, some are $100,000” “$100,000. Now we're talking. Who are those from? Where are they from usually?” “Arabic country — Egypt and Morocco” “As you guys know that without doing these conversations, there's virtually no way to get to the bottom of how mosques are funded because as a religious institution, they don't …കൂടുതൽ
I know, I know. We’ve all been told that Christmas in the Philippines starts on September 1st. Sorry to ruin the fun, but that’s not actually true. The Philippines doesn’t have its own Christmas calendar. Christmas begins with the Midnight Mass on December 24th, whether you’re in the Philippines, Hawaii, Europe, or Vietnam. Yes, you can start playing Christmas songs in September, or all year long if you want. Just don’t tell people it’s already Christmas.
