Problems of Conscience

The Vatican explicitly recognizes that the available Covid vaccines DO create problems of conscience for a faithful Catholic. https://t.co/Ei7qXhBlNd

This story has some unique aspects, e.g., the age of the alleged abuser when abuse began.

Fact or Propaganda?

Interesting analysis frm ⁦@JamesMartinSJ⁩’s outlet, as he is advisor for #Vatican Coms.

A Review of the Martel Book

CWR Dispatch: Review: Not much substance In the Closet of the Vatican by Andrea Gagliarducci, Catholic News Agency
The controversial new book by French author and LGBT activist Frederic Martel presents innuendos, but not evidence or documents. It is a gossip-filled, romanticized book, but does not present itself as a scholarly or objective account.

Meanwhile... Pope proposes 21 ‘reflection points’ for discussion at abuse summit

In regard to one point, that broaches the idea of amending the Code of Canon Law to raise the minimum age of marriage for women from 14 to 16, Scicluna clarified that bishops’ conferences already have the power to create their own legislation in regard to the minimum marriageable age, and that many had already raised the age to 16 for both men and women.

“The pope is suggesting making that universal law,” Scicluna said.

By what authority?
