Why shouldn't he be named a patron of the Universal Church?
Or is this feast really tied to the Latin devotion to the Holy Family?
Does Rome really speak for the Universal Church in this matter? (Like canonizations and naming doctors of the Church, isn't this only in reference to its own liturgical calendar and cultus?)

The Present Crisis in the Patriarchate of Rome
It is probably not correct to trace it as a consequence of ecclesial trends prior to and culminating in the Council of Trent, much less to intellectual trends alone, but one must also take into consideration the development of the modern nation-state (with its roots in the centralization of power by nationalist kings) and how the Church responded accordingly.
It's not just neo-scholasticism or Tridentine Roman Catholicism that is the problem, though they do have a major effect on the Church's ability to evangelize.

Homo economicus is actually Homo servus
The illusion of economic freedom is just that.
Economic productivity has been extracted by powers outside the home, leaving little economic freedom that is rooted in a domestic economy. And now, even women have been taken out of the home so they can be turned into consuming/producing units in service of those holding economic power.
Without cheap energy to sustain the system and the consolidation of economic and political power by the few, feminism would not be possible.

Pope Francis in Egypt
CWR Dispatch and CNA: Full text of joint statement by Pope Francis and Tawadros II
"The tragic experiences and the blood shed by our faithful who were persecuted and killed for the sole reason of being Christian, remind us all the more that the ecumenism of martyrdom unites us and encourages us along the way to peace and reconciliation."

Amusing
That the reviewer labelled Dreher a formal schismatic. And he finds the solution to the crisis facing Latin Catholic churches in the West to be Latin traditionalism. (Of course he would!)

A Thought
Do belief in the prophecies of St. Paisios and dreams of a resurgent Constantinople hinder restoration of communion between the Churches?
Perhaps the chastisement of Constantinople is not yet complete.

What should be done about James Martin, SJ?
Crisis: New Ways Ministry’s “Fr. James Martin Effect” by Deacon Jim Russell
Is it possible to reform the Society of Jesus from the bottom up? Or does its Constitutions require a top-bottom reform? If these rogue priests cannot be disciplined by the order then the order should be suppressed.

What is the new Latin emphasis?
If it is no longer the Passion, is it a sentimental or Pelagian understanding of the Resurrection?

Bishop Nicholas Samra on the Ministries of the Parish
I think the "socialization" aspect is rather incomplete and needs to be developed at length so that there is a proper discussion of the friendship that should exist among parishioners of the same parish.
Getting Rid of the Lavender Mafia Might Help
Along with the network that purposely weeds out orthodox seminarians. But these steps don't address all of the problems.

Alas, the English Translation of His Book is Out of Print
Rorate Caeli: The Church and Asmodeus - Part 3 (and the fallacy of Theology of the Body) by Don Pietro Leone
But is his reading of John Paul II's Theology of the Body correct?
3. ‘THEOLOGY OF THE BODY’
Faithful attending Pope John Paul II’s Angelus discourses from September 1979 –November 1984 and hoping for catechism or pious disquisitions, would surely have been disappointed. Instead they were to hear him propound in all freedom his personal theories of sexual morality. We shall here briefly examine two tenets of the personalistic ‘Theology of the Body’, having already discussed the theory in detail in our book.
But is his reading of John Paul II's Theology of the Body correct?
