Patristics
Fr. Jungmann locates a split between "classical" Christianity and ... what is the label he uses? Anyway, just because the Byzantine Chalcedonian Christians may be more "Patristic" does not mean that they would escape his criticism of how Christian liturgy evolved. (Does his criticism apply to the history of Christian spirituality as well?)

Sandro Magister: One the Embrace, Many the Divisions
The encounter between Francis and Bartholomew at the basilica of the Holy Sepulchre. But there's rupture between the Greek Orthodox patriarchs of Jerusalem and Antioch. And open conflict between Constantinople and Moscow, on the question of primacy. The anti-papal sentiment of Eastern Christians

"God become one of us." =? "God became a man" vs. "God became man."
Is it be problematic (or even heretical) to say, "God become one of us"? Does it necessary imply that God became a human person? At the very least it seems equivalent to "God became a human individual" or "God became a individual human."

Living Liberalism
Catholics have adopted the liberal viewpoint regarding reason.
An accurate narrative of what happened? Or was there some "coercion" involved in so far as permission was withdrawn? (That is to say, reasons that did not fully persuade were not given before such action was taken, and not everyone was satisfied with the outcome.)

Sandro Magister: Vatican Diary / What remains of Paul VI, soon to be beatified
He was the pope who guided the first steps of the Italian episcopal conference, including in the strenuous defense of indissoluble marriage. Today Francis is taking command of the CEI himself. With Bishop Galantino as copilot

Sandro Magister: Peter and the Twelve. The Dispute Over the Powers of the Synod
There are some who want it to be the supreme body of Church governance, a sort of “permanent council.” But Vatican II ruled this out. Cardinals Müller and Ruini explain why, in agreement with Ratzinger as cardinal and pope

Some Snark to Come
With the beatification of Paul VI and the works and the continuing Vatican II triumphalism, even if the message is true and needed, traditional-thinking Catholics of all stripes might be a tad cynical about such talk.

CFN: The "Canonizations": CFN interviews Professor Roberto de Mattei
Someone I knew at Christendom was in the area several months ago to give a talk at the DSPT on canonization. He wrote this article on the same topic for Crisis.
Is there an analogy between canonization and canon law, such that the pope does not have authority to promulgate something that is binding upon the whole Church in these two respects, the liturgical calendar (and official cultus) and canon law? For those who believe that the Eastern churches do not have to accept anything of the exercise of the papal office beyond what was done in the first millenium, is there anything in Church History during the first millenium that would uphold this sort of authority for the bishop of Rome? Can the pope declare (or teach) that someone (Roman-rite or otherwise?) is a saint and have it binding on the Church Universal? (It may be that some who believe that such proclamations are instances of papal infallibility must do so because they believe that this is part of the pope's authority with respect to the Church Universal, rather than as a part of his authority as "Patriarch of the West.")

Chiesa: The Last Pope-King by Sandro Magister
Two of his predecessors made saints instead of only one. The Italian episcopal conference annihilated. The men of the old guard still at the helm of the IOR. All as Francis commands
