Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher noted the producers of a homosexual performance staged inside a former Catholic church on Kent Street deliberately mocked the Catholic faith. Writing in CatholicWeekly.com.au on July 28, a week after hundreds of Catholics gathered outside the venue to pray the Rosary, Archbishop Fisher rejected claims that the show was simply artistic expression. The performances were "not neutral expressions of art" but "a deliberate appropriation, sexualisation, and denigration of symbols and rituals specific and sacred to the Catholic faith." The archbishop cited promotional images showing a pig offering McDonald's fries as the "Body of Christ," male performers dressed as nuns, and events titled "Sunday Mess" and "Unholy Confessions." He considered claims - that the production was not intended to mock Catholics - were "unpersuasive." "For Catholics, the Eucharist is not a cultural motif available for parody," Fisher wrote. "It is the sacrament at the heart of our …Lebih
Uskup Agung Sydney Anthony Fisher menyatakan bahwa para produser pertunjukan bertema homoseksual yang dipentaskan di dalam sebuah bekas gereja Katolik di Kent Street secara sengaja menghina iman Katolik. Dalam tulisannya di CatholicWeekly.com.au pada 28 Juli, seminggu setelah ratusan umat Katolik berkumpul di luar lokasi pertunjukan untuk berdoa Rosario, Uskup Agung Fisher menolak klaim bahwa pertunjukan tersebut hanyalah ekspresi artistik. Pertunjukan tersebut "bukanlah ekspresi seni yang netral" melainkan "penyalahgunaan, seksualitas, dan penghinaan yang disengaja terhadap simbol-simbol dan ritual-ritual yang khas dan sakral bagi iman Katolik." Uskup Agung tersebut mengutip gambar-gambar promosi yang memperlihatkan seekor babi yang menawarkan kentang goreng McDonald’s sebagai “Tubuh Kristus,” para penampil laki-laki yang berpakaian seperti biarawati, serta acara-acara berjudul “Sunday Mess” dan “Unholy Confessions.” Ia menilai klaim-klaim—bahwa produksi tersebut tidak dimaksudkan untuk …Lebih
The Society of Jesus is continuing a major reorganization of its presence in Catalonia as declining numbers of Jesuits and an aging membership force the closure of houses. Working-Class Communities Close, Elite Schools Remain The first recent closure came in Bellvitge, where the Jesuit community founded in 1968 ended its presence at the close of 2025. It was one of the Jesuits' flagship social apostolates in post-war Spain. The Jesuits also handed over responsibility for the parish of Mare de Déu de Bellvitge. The Jesuïtes Bellvitge – Centre d'Estudis Joan XXIII school continues to operate within the Jesuit education network. The reorganization of Jesuit communities continued in El Clot, where the Jesuit residential community at the end of the academic year 2025-2026. The Society cited the same reasons: fewer active Jesuits, a lack of vocations, and the high average age of its members.

"Preserving the precious treasure of the traditional liturgy is part of preserving the Deposit of Faith," Bishop Athanasius Schneider said in his homily on August 2 in Limerick, Ireland, at the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. He is currently celebrating Mass and delivering talks in various locations across Ireland, including Cobh, Leixlip, Monaghan and Ardee. Previously, he was in Africa. In July, he led the golden jubilee celebrations of the Congregation of the Mothers and Missionaries of the Holy Cross in Puma, Tanzania. Interfering with the Liturgy Destroys Religion In Sunday's homily, Bishop Schneider recalled that "history has proved a thousand times that there is nothing more dangerous for a religion - nothing more likely to result in discontent, unrest, division, and apostasy - than interference with the liturgy and, consequently, with religious sensibility." He recalled the apostolic rule: "Antiquity was retained. Novelty was rejected." Quoting Dom Prosper Guéranger …Lebih
Uskup Pembantu Ludger Schepers dari Essen, yang ditunjuk sebagai komisaris Konferensi Uskup Jerman untuk urusan propaganda homoseksual, telah mendesak paroki-paroki Katolik agar menjadi tempat di mana kaum homoseksual dapat hidup “tanpa rasa takut”. Dalam tulisannya di Kirche-und-Leben.de pada 2 Agustus, Uskup Schepers mengomentari serangan mematikan yang baru-baru ini terjadi selama pawai kaum homoseksual di Berlin. "Paroki-paroki kita harus menjadi tempat di mana setiap orang disambut dan merasakan martabat yang tak terpisahkan yang telah diberikan Tuhan kepada mereka. Tak seorang pun seharusnya harus takut akan prasangka, ketidakpercayaan, atau penolakan karena orientasi seksual atau identitas gender mereka." Ia mengkritik Gereja, dengan mengklaim tanpa dasar bahwa Gereja “tidak selalu menjadi tempat yang aman bagi kaum queer,” sambil menambahkan bahwa ayat-ayat Alkitab terlalu sering diambil “di luar konteks” dan digunakan untuk melawan mereka. Ludger Schepers membandingkan apa yang …Lebih
Auxiliary Bishop Ludger Schepers of Essen, the German Bishops' Conference's commissioner for homosexual propaganda, has urged Catholic parishes to become places where homosexuals can live "without fear". Writing on Kirche-und-Leben.de on August 2, Bishop Schepers commented on the recent deadly attack during Berlin's homosexual march. "Our parishes must be places where every person is welcome and experiences the inalienable dignity that God has given them. No one should ever have to fear prejudice, distrust, or rejection because of their sexual orientation or gender identity." He attacked the Church, claiming gratuitously that she "has not always been a safe place for queer people," adding that biblical passages had too often been taken "out of context" and used against them. Ludger Schepers contrasts what he calls "the Gospel's message of unconditional love" with "the experience of many queer people". This contradiction calls Catholics "to repent". Looking to the global Church, Bishop …Lebih

From Failure at EWTN to Vatican Communication Reform? This morning, Leo XIV received the new Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, the divorced Zionist Maria Montserrat Alvarado, in audience. During his pontificate, Leo XIV has met the current Prefect, Paolo Ruffini, only rarely and has not held private audiences with other senior Vatican communications officials, including Matteo Bruni, Andrea Tornielli, and Andrea Monda, seeing them only at public events. Alvarado will officially take office in November. Last year, her effort to consolidate EWTN's international news operations under a single EwtnNews.com platform did not achieve its intended goal. The project remained English-only and failed to become the successful international news site originally envisioned.
Ordo Yesuit terus melakukan reorganisasi besar-besaran terhadap kehadirannya di Katalonia, karena berkurangnya jumlah anggota Ordo Yesuit dan menua-nya anggota memaksa penutupan beberapa rumah Ordo. Komunitas Kelas Pekerja Ditutup, Sekolah-Sekolah Elite Tetap Beroperasi Penutupan pertama yang terjadi baru-baru ini terjadi di Bellvitge, di mana komunitas Jesuit yang didirikan pada tahun 1968 mengakhiri kehadirannya pada akhir tahun 2025. Komunitas tersebut merupakan salah satu karya sosial unggulan para Jesuit di Spanyol pascaperang. Para Jesuit juga menyerahkan tanggung jawab atas paroki Mare de Déu de Bellvitge. Sekolah Jesuïtes Bellvitge – Centre d'Estudis Joan XXIII tetap beroperasi dalam jaringan pendidikan Jesuit. Reorganisasi komunitas Jesuit berlanjut di El Clot, di mana komunitas residensial Jesuit akan berakhir pada akhir tahun akademik 2025-2026. Ordo Jesuit mengutip alasan yang sama: berkurangnya jumlah anggota Jesuit yang aktif, kurangnya panggilan, dan tingginya usia rata-…Lebih
Leo XIV approved Cardinal Arthur Roche's text against the Traditional Latin Mass, reaffirming Francis' Traditionis Custodes, reports LaRazon.es on August 2. The text was distributed to about 170 cardinals at the January 7 consistory. Key phrase: "This newspaper has been able to confirm that the cardinal distributed the text at the request of Leo XIV and therefore with the Pope's approval of its contents." According to the newspaper, Cardinal Roche and officials from his dicastery drafted the document at the Pope's request. Leo XIV then personally reviewed it. "He did not change a single comma," Vatican sources said, adding that "the distribution of the document to the cardinals was intended to make the new Pope's position on this issue visible." The one-and-a-half-page document defended Traditionis Custodes, describing Tradition as a "living river" rather than a static preservation of past forms. It claimed that the Novus Ordo is fully consistent with authentic Tradition. Picture: Arthur …Lebih

"The Church is, at least in the West, in a time of great difficulty, even of confusion, both at the doctrinal level and at the moral and disciplinary level", Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlFoglio.it on August 2. For Cardinal Sarah, it is "a tragedy, indeed a real and proper sin", that there is "a kind of war" and "fierce conflicts" over the liturgy. Main quote: "No one has authority over the rites, which arise from the centuries-long history of the Church. The rites cannot be arbitrarily abolished, and no one can say that a rite no longer exists from one day to the next." The Cardinal wants to return to Benedict XVI.'s Summorum Pontificum, which allows the Mass in the Roman rite alongside the Novus Ordo: "Over the decades, the holy people of God will be able to choose which form best corresponds to their need for faith, silence and spirituality." He added: "Some excesses on the part of those attached to the extraordinary form are, in part, justified by the dramatic and widespread abuses …Lebih
Card. Sarah: "Man, even contemporary man, absolutely needs God, to hear talk of the Gospel, of eternal life, of spirituality. It is never permissible to reduce the Gospel to social and horizontal themes, however relevant, because it is a failure to fulfill Christ's very will, who sent us to preach eternal salvation, and not social redemption"

Leo XIV menyetujui teks Kardinal Arthur Roche yang menentang Misa Latin Tradisional, sekaligus menegaskan kembali dokumen Traditionis Custodes milik Paus Fransiskus, demikian dilaporkan LaRazon.es pada 2 Agustus. Teks tersebut dibagikan kepada sekitar 170 kardinal dalam sidang konsistori pada 7 Januari. Kalimat kunci: "Surat kabar ini telah dapat memastikan bahwa kardinal tersebut mendistribusikan teks tersebut atas permintaan Leo XIV dan oleh karena itu dengan persetujuan Paus atas isinya." Menurut surat kabar tersebut, Kardinal Roche dan pejabat dari dikasterinya menyusun dokumen tersebut atas permintaan Paus. Leo XIV kemudian meninjaunya secara pribadi. "Beliau tidak mengubah satu koma pun," kata sumber-sumber Vatikan, sambil menambahkan bahwa "pendistribusian dokumen tersebut kepada para kardinal dimaksudkan untuk memperjelas posisi Paus baru mengenai masalah ini." Dokumen setebal satu setengah halaman tersebut membela Traditionis Custodes, dengan menggambarkan Tradisi sebagai “sungai …Lebih
