Sandro Magister: The Hundred Days of Francis and the Enigma of the Empty Chair
His sudden refusal to listen to the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven offered for the Year of Faith is the seal on the beginning of a pontificate that is difficult to decipher. The success that he enjoys in the media has a reason and a cost: his silence on the crucial political questions of abortion, euthanasia, homosexual marriage

The Catholic Apologetics Academy turned out to be more enjoyable and educational than I had expected, and it was definitely a good opportunity for Catholics to meet and socialize with other similar-minded Catholics living in the Bay Area. I wish I had taken greater advantage of that opportunity. There were a few parents there who were aware of the state of Catholic schools in the diocese of San Jose. May they receive wisdom and strength as they seek to bring about change. The talks by Ken Hensley on sola fide and sola scriptura were very informative. He doesn't write much as he prefers teaching (live); his contrast between the two models of faith was one I had not heard before.

faith-->obedience-->blessing (a pattern found in the OT and repeated in the preaching of the NT) [the Catholic model]
faith-->blessing-->obedience [the Protestant model]

Attending the Catholic Apologetics Academy put on by the Envoy Institute. It will probably do a good job of covering some of the basics, but I wonder if the 3-day program isn't a bit ambitious.

Vatican News: Cardinal Koch in Ukraine: Goal of Ecumenism "Visible Communion"

(Vatican Radio)The President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Cardinal Kurt Koch, gave a lecture at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine, on June 10 on “Prospects of the Ecumenical Dialogue Between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches."

According to the Religious Information Service of Ukraine (RISU), Cardinal Kurt Koch focused on the discussion of one of the most painful and key issues of Orthodox-Catholic relations – the primacy of the bishop of Rome.Cardinal Koch explained that "from the Orthodox point of view, the church is present in every local church that celebrates the Eucharist, so each Eucharistic community is a complete church. Instead, from the Catholic point of view, a separate Eucharistic community is not a complete church. Therefore, a basis of the Catholic Church is the unity of separate Eucharistic communities with each other and the bishop of Rome. That is, the Catholic Church lives in the mutual intersection of local churches in one universal church.”

According to the cardinal, “the most important thing is not to lose sight of the goal of ecumenical dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, which, at least from the Catholic point of view, can consist only in the restoration of a visible communion of churches.”
