Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote a blog post on May 21 about the synodal “occupational therapy” ordered by the Vatican. Main points slightly shortened. - What comes from Rome — the workshop behind the universally proclaimed synodal process — is human wisdom. Apparently, its protagonists have nothing better to do than keep issuing instructions to local churches on how to manage and sustain this synodal process, a stillbirth from the start. - It is the full-time actors of this dysfunctional, committee-run Church who busy themselves - at great expense - with commissioned management tools and synodal papers. - Nothing comes of it except ever more documents to read, heterodox study results, and newly invented committees — on top of the many already existing ones. - By now, it has become clear what this process aims at: restructuring the Church’s longstanding doctrinal positions on divorce and remarriage, homosexuality and the broader queer agenda, the synodal democratization of …Daplü

The Diocese of Capua is investigating claims that a fiberglass statue of Padre Pio in Casalba near Naples shed a tear first noticed on April 18. Parish priest Don Girolamo Capuano says he reviewed April security footage and found no evidence of tampering. The diocese is examining the substance seen on the statue. The case has drawn pilgrims and national media attention, while Church authorities remain cautious after a previous “weeping statue” in the same town was later explained by rainwater leakage.

Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg, Germany, is "totally fascinated" by Pope Leo XIV, praising him for emphasising unity and opposing "nationalism". The bishop offered this praise in an interview with K-TV.org on 15 May. He also applauded Leo XIV’s willingness to confront powerful political figures and praised him for "standing up to Trump". "That impresses me greatly," said Bishop Jung. He added: "I rejoice very much in this calm, thoughtful manner." He also revived discussion of his favourite topics: married priests ('viri probati'), the position of women in the Church, and whether lay people could be authorised to preach — a practice which is already widespread and even expected in many German dioceses. Bishop Jung identified only one minor problem within the German Synodal Way: insufficient coordination with Rome. According to him, the German bishops now want to "take the next steps" together with the Vatican. #newsOevherwnwz
The man featured for nearly 25 years on the cover of the Roman priest calendar “Calendario Romano” is not a priest. Giovanni Galizia, now 39, told La Repubblica he posed for the photo at age 17 in Palermo as a joke after meeting photographer Piero Pazzi. Galizia said he was never paid, never felt called to the priesthood, and now works in flight attendant training for a Spanish airline. He described the image as an aesthetic portrait of an embarrassed teenager whose friends were laughing during the shoot.
A calendar featuring close-ups of young, handsome priests has been a popular Rome souvenir for two decades. However, many of those photographed aren't actually priests.
Stefan Diefenbach, a former priest, co-authored the German guideline 'Blessing Gives Strength to Love' ('Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft') in April 2025 for homosexual couples. He spoke about it with katholisch.de on May 22. Diefenbach was a priest with the Arnstein Fathers. He left the order in 2005. Since 2016, he has been in a homosexual "marriage" with a male opera singer from Argentina. Diefenbach said that the guideline merely implements Fiducia Supplicans: "It is an attempt to 'translate' it for pastoral practice in Germany and make it fruitful." He was surprised by the vehemence of the criticism. And: "I cannot fully comprehend the criticism. The text of the guideline clearly states that blessings should be given freely and spontaneously, that no approved liturgical celebrations or prayers are provided for, and that there should be no confusion with a liturgical celebration of the sacrament of marriage." Diefenbach himself was not present at the discussions in the Vatican. "But I …Daplü

German Clown Liturgy: Future and end of Novus Ordo On May 14, during Germany’s Katholikentag in Würzburg, a “clown liturgy” was held at Stift Haug Collegiate Church as part of the national Catholic gathering.

Two priests and a subdeacon of the Transalpine Redemptorists have fled from the monastery island of Papa Stronsay, Scotland, according to PressAndJournal.co.uk on May 20. The three reportedly coordinated their departure with Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, who is expected to establish a new community with them in his diocese. They are said to have secretly contacted the bishop using a monastery laptop and left the island by boat without informing their superiors. The plan was discovered on the laptop on the day of their departure. Father Anthony Mary criticized the men for leaving in secret. “They left on the evening boat, and we have heard nothing since — no word, no explanation, nothing,” he said. He also accused Bishop Hugh Gilbert of having “worked against us.” Father Michael Mary, founder of the Transalpine Redemptorists, said the three left because of “theological differences.” The departure came shortly after the community published a manifesto rejecting the legitimacy of …Daplü
