One message for Muslims, another for Catholics: While Pope Leo XIV described the Great Mosque of Algiers in April as "a divine, sacred space" where "God is present", Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, Prefect of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, told AdVanticanum.com on June 22 that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue" and "not as approval of all religious beliefs equally."
After Leo XIV told moslems that mosques are "sacred space", Cardinal Koovad says that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces (Mosques) as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue, not as a denial of the uniqueness of Christ or as approval of all religious beliefs equally."
On June 20, Leo XIV has appointed Rev Elímar Gerardo Carvajal Durán, 50, as Bishop of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Born in Grecia in 1976 and ordained a priest in 2003, Monsignor Carvajal Durán has served in various pastoral roles within the Diocese of Alajuela and most recently as Diocesan Vicar for Pastoral Ministry. He is a strongly synodal, CELAM-formed, Francis-era pastoral organizer. His public record shows extensive commitment to "discernment", "accompaniment", and "synodality". Strong Synodal Profile By September 2022, Rev. Carvajal had assumed a leading role in coordinating the Diocese of Alajuela's Diocesan Synodal Process. In a September 28, 2022 talk on the Youtube channel of the Diocese of Alajuela, Monsignor Carvajal uses all of the Francis’ buzzwords such as "the synodal Church", "the reality is always before the idea", “listening to the cries of people”, etc. His Language Speaks Volumes In a September 5, 2023 video, Monsignor Carvajal said that discernment and synodality …Bongata
He needs to affirm the Creeds, Councils and Cathechisms in the original. He does not do this. This is a canonical issue. With Vatican Council II rational we can affirm the Council and Tradition. But the bishop, with Vatican Council II irrational cannot affirm both. A bishop who cannot affirm de fide teachings in Tradition which are not contradicted by Vatican Council II, cannot hold his office. It is obligatory, morally and canonically for the bishop to affirm Vatican Council I I only rationally ( LG 16 inviible.)

Kung, the first sign of religious or political coward is to toss around comparisons of a person or institution to Nazism. The poor soul Kung, makes as much sense as "professor Irwin Cory". Thank you
The Church has “frequently wounded the LGBT community through judgmentalism and exclusion,” Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy claimed in a June 20 homily at the homosexual conference Outreach, held at the Jesuits’ Georgetown University. He pointed to "two developments during the pontificate of Leo XIV". The first was a remark Leo XIV made during his trip to Africa in April, when he said that “the unity or division in the church should not revolve around sexual matters.” Cardinal McElroy commented: “Too often both in magisterial statements and on the popular level, sexual sins have been condemned with an ardor that effectively places them in the eyes of many believers as the core moral obligation of Christians.” Leo XIV instead pointed “to the comparative importance of economic justice, war and peace, immigration and racism as key elements of the Christian moral life.” The second development cited by McElroy was the publication of the report of synod's Study Group 9 in May and …Bongata
2 Kings 19:9b-11, 14-21, 31-35a, 36 “Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you.” We still hear this today. Someone has been hurt by people who are walking with the Lord. And he will tell himself that it’s the Lord who causes evil. People can hurt us, but it’s never the Lord. Matthew 7:6, 12-14 “How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life.” That is to say, there is only one way: Love, which leads to the Heart of God. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

Two Catholics – Francis Miffed No difference. The new British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced the members of her cabinet on Tuesday. However, cartoonist Bob Moran sees Truss as just another puppet, presenting her as Justindazimir Trussdeaudernenskyy with the English plural pronouns They/Them. Truss, he says, is prime minister of Makes No Difference. Joie de vivre. The new British government includes two Catholics. Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister is the little-known Thérèse Coffey. She is unmarried, has a doctorate in chemistry and used to work as an accountant for the British Broadcasting Corporation. The oligarch press calls her loyal and a meticulous manager without ideological passion. She is supposed to patch up the NHS, the ailing British health system. Coffey has a sympathetic human side. She likes to drink alcohol and smokes. During one of her first television appearances as Deputy Prime Minister at 8.00 a.m., her telephone alarm clock rang. She has set an American …Bongata

The Vicar General of the Archdiocese of New York, led by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, sent an instruction to priests on 22 February - ahead of time - on how to proceed as "Jorge Mario Bergoglio nears the end of his earthly journey". He asked for prayers as Francis suffers from a respiratory illness. The archdiocese "will observe the passing of his life in many prayerful ways". Here are some of the ways suggested in the archdiocesan directive (posted by Rich Raho on X.com): • Upon hearing of the Pope's death, church bells may be rung 88 times, the number of years the Pope lived. • The intention of the Pope would be included in regularly scheduled Masses. • There are three formulas for Eucharists for a deceased Pope which may be used during the nine-day period of mourning. • A memorial space could be established in an area of the church that does not compete with the significance of the altar, ambo, and tabernacle. It may include the lighted paschal candle, a picture of the Pope, a kneeler,…Bongata
It is has been observed over the last few days that His Holiness’ sister, Maria Elena, was brought in and arrived in urgency from Argentina, along with a great number of Cardinals and Diplomats from around the world, and members of the Swiss Guard who had been away on leave. Things are apparently gearing up for the inevitable.
It's always good to be prepared for any eventuality. Regardless of what one may hope an outcome to be. Organizing and making ready for whatever may come can only be perceived as a good and sound preparatory measure. It does not mean people are pushing for or desiring his expedient demise. Just that they want to have all things in good order if or when it occurs.
