Ecumenism Rewritten by Enzo Bianchi and Alberto Melloni by Sandro Magister
The leaders of the “school of Bologna” have a very ambitious new project in the works: a history of the movement for Christian unity aimed at a thorough reform of the Catholic Church, starting with the dismantling of the papacy in its current form. They believe they have an ally in Pope Francis

Before (and during?) the extraordinary synod, Cardinal Kasper claimed the support of Pope Francis for bringing his initiative to discussion. Perhaps the pope only supported that the proposal be discussed, not the proposal itself - he seems to have high regard for Kasper's theology. Did Kasper misrepresent the Holy Father in any way?

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on Mission, Again

The “Evangelii Gaudium” of Pope Emeritus Benedict

Ratzinger has broken his silence once again. To caution that a dialogue that renounces the truth “is lethal” to the propagation of the Christian faith. And therefore also to the spread of that “joy of the Gospel” which is in the program of Pope Francis

Pope Francis: ‘Evolution … is not inconsistent with the notion of creation’ (via Call Me Jorge)

Some Thomists have taken a similar line regarding the possibility of some version of "theistic evolution" or another, but it just makes the Roman Church look bad to engage in dialectic poorly.

Catholics still trying to be "scientifically" respectable...
