JUST IN: 10 consecrated clerics to be replaced by 5 women & 5 men religious at Oct Synod in Rome. Auditors to be replaced by 70 non-bishop members chosen by #PopeFrancis. All to be given right to vote, but @Synod_va insists it does not change the episcopal nature of the assembly. pic.twitter.com/I8AKE1XiFF

The Synod on Synodality assumes that fidelity to the Church’s teaching needs to be re-imagined and re-worked so that various people will not feel that they are being excluded and rejected. | @GeraldMurray8https://t.co/1EpqhXNJDW

When Worlds Collide

Repulsive comment from a priest—at odds with Magisterium.

“They have … subjected some of the inhabitants of said islands to perpetual slavery [subdiderunt perpetuae servituti]. Therefore We ... exhort … that they desist from the aforementioned deeds.”

Duffy a Prog?

What is the point of the @CatholicHerald ? I ask because the new edition has a column by Professor Eammon Duffy in which he describes as 'obscene' God's trial of Abraham, and the temptation of Eve as a 'fairy-tale'. Not a letter to the editor but a piece commissioned, accepted,
