Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference attended the private funeral of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini in Pavana on Saturday. He delivered an address, published on Avvenire.it (August 8), in which he practically canonized the self-described agnostic. Guccini, 86, had described himself as an “agnostic possibilist.” Zuppi, who was his friend, recalled that the singer had once told him he wanted the cardinal present at his funeral. Addressing Guccini directly, Cardinal Zuppi imagined what the deceased might now be seeing: “We do not know precisely … what you see: the fullness of that light which, in reality, you had already sensed from here and which you were able to glimpse in the poignant and infinite beauty of life.” Cardinal Zuppi portrayed Guccini’s agnostic doubt positively, as an honest search for truth. “Doubt was your way of standing before things without cheating, with integrity,” he said. “You never stopped asking and listening.” …མང་བ།
On August 11, 1937, Soviet Russia began the mass extermination of Poles living in the USSR. - it was the so-called "Polish Operation of the NKVD". 111 thousand people were murdered, and about 140 thousand Poles were "tried" and sent to prisons and labor camps.
Taybeh must not vanish into silence. Taybeh, the last fully Christian town in Palestine, is suffering months of attacks by Israeli settlers. On August 5, settlers entered the property of a Christian family belonging to the local parish, cut through the fence and brought a flock of sheep onto the family’s land. The incident follows reports of fires, damage to farmland and repeated incursions onto private property. Around 1,200 Christians remain in Taybeh, a West Bank town traditionally identified with the biblical Ephraim. Parish priest Bashar Fawadleh has appealed for international attention: “Do not forget Taybeh! Taybeh must not vanish into silence.”
Tajbeh, the last fully Christian town in Palestine, has been subjected to attacks and intimidation by Israeli settlers for months. Residents fear that the pressure will force more families to leave their homes and land. The village, located east of Ramallah in the West Bank, is identified with the biblical Ephraim. According to tradition, Jesus and his disciples found refuge there. Recently, there have been repeated incursions onto private properties and farmland. On August 5, settlers entered the property of a family belonging to the parish, destroyed the fence, and brought a flock of sheep onto the land. Such actions are systematic in nature and are intended to instill fear and force Palestinians to leave their land. There have also been instances of arson, destruction of fields, roadblocks, and restrictions on freedom of movement. “We feel forgotten; we feel alone,” he emphasizes, appealing to the international community for concrete protection of the civilian population and political …མང་བ།
Israel is silent as Moscow seeks answers about a dual citizen of Russia and Israel. Missing since landing at Ben Gurion Airport last wee. Israeli authorities have remained silent on the fate of Russian-Israeli historian Artyom Kirpichenok, days after his reported detention and despite Moscow seeking answers about his whereabouts. Kirpichenok, 51, is a dual Russian-Israeli citizen, journalist, and Middle East expert known for his writings on Zionism and criticism of Israel’s policies toward Iran and Palestine. He reportedly disappeared on August 2 shortly after landing at Ben Gurion Airport on a flight from Yerevan. Kirpichenok reportedly sent his family a brief message saying “arrived” at 10:41 am, but his phone and social media activity ceased shortly afterward. Reports citing Israeli police say he passed through passport control at Ben Gurion before disappearing. Colleagues said he had traveled to Israel for an academic conference and had a return ticket for August 8. International …མང་བ།
Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in as president of Colombia on August 7 in a ceremony reflecting his Catholic faith.

An image of Our Lady of Fatima stood prominently on the stage. De la Espriella concluded by asking God to bless his children and declaring: “Everything for the homeland… Stand firm for the homeland! Long live Christ the King!”

Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo plans the first diocesan synod in Oslo before the 2030 jubilee of St. Olaf. “A diocesan synod is not a democratic assembly,” Bishop Hansen wrote on August 6 on Katolsk.no, the website of the Catholic Church in Norway. “As bishop, I am also obliged to exclude from the synod anything that contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church,” he added. “It is not for us to decide on matters of faith and morals.” The synod will arrive at plans and documents that are “presented to me as bishop and brought to a decision by me.” Bishop Hansen indicated that participation in the assemblies would probably resemble “a considerably expanded pastoral council.” He compared his diocesan synod with the synods held by St Archbishop Charles Borromeo of Milan “in accordance with the provisions of the Council of Trent.” However, his working method “will resemble that of the Second Vatican Council,” he threatened. Bishop Hansen recently extended permission for the …མང་བ།
A clever but meaningless pronouncement. Pope Leo XIV would feel quite comfortable in offering similar assurances. The problem with Conciliarism is that the teachings of the Second Vatican Council have allowed the Modernist leaders to determine what "contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church." They call it a "living" Magisterium.
British Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham is "a non-Catholic Catholic kind of guy", UK-based writer Steven Tucker argues on August 7 on CrisisMagazine.com. Burnham has absorbed a specifically left-wing, Liverpool strain of Catholic Social Teaching that is socialism in disguise. Main points: Archbishop Derek Worlock (1920–1996) of Liverpool had a significant influence on Burnham during his youth. As an altar boy, Burnham played tapes of Worlock's sermons in which he criticised the central government for neglecting the North West. Burnham considered the "vast majority" of staff at his Catholic schools to be Labour supporters who encouraged him in that direction. In 2012, Burnham said that "what I used to read in the catechism - the realisation of it on Earth - was the Labour Party'. He has campaigned, voted and marched for homosex "marriage", homosex adoption and gender policies. He has even supported male access to women's facilities. While mayor of Manchester, he took part in a city …མང་བ།
Popes certainly have more important things to do than pay for their hotel room out of their own wallet, as Francis did at the beginning of his pontificate. Do they even have enough time for that?

Do they have proof those things were done? Or just lying and twisting more things which this administration is famous for? And everyone who seeks the truth, seeks to see the other over 3,000,000 files which they refuse to release. What are they hiding? Whom are they protecting. I don't trust a word one person in this administration says. Release the other over 3,000,0000 files. Start showing real proof. Not edited, not fake pictures or ai. Show us what they really found. Maybe, just maybe we might believe something from them Until then? I don't even bother to listen to a word any of them say.
Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, removed in June as an exorcist by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy, is continuing his deliverance ministry. In an August 3 email to subscribers, Monsignor Rossetti said he remains a priest in good standing in his home Diocese of Syracuse, New York, and will continue his work through the St. Michael Center, which operates within the territory of the Washington archdiocese. On June 3, Cardinal McElroy removed Rossetti as an archdiocesan exorcist and ended all affiliation between the Archdiocese of Washington and Rossetti's St. Michael Center. Monsignor Rossetti argues that he retains priestly faculties in several dioceses and exorcist faculties in two others. He also says his own bishop has encouraged him to continue the ministry. The June controversy followed Rossetti's eccentric claim that UFOs "are, in fact, demons." Cardinal McElroy - who had removed him for this claim - later said the decision was not about UFOs but reflected his view that the role of an …མང་བ།
Read this garbage: Msgr Rossetti says " sexual abuse of minors by mothers could more easily be disguised as ordinary acts of cleaning, grooming or dressing children." If it is true that he said this, such a thought could only come from a rotten, corrupt mind. Our mothers -our blessed, beloved mothers- could never do such a thing! Thank you, Mom, for taking care of me since I was a baby!
Today, Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Piotr Pytłowany, 57, as the new Bishop of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. He is a fidei donum missionary priest of the Polish Archdiocese of Przemyśl. Kazakh Catholicism is small and deeply marked by Soviet persecution, particularly in Karaganda with a strong consciousness of the martyrs. Liturgical practice is pious and Communion in the hand forbidden. Monsignor Pytłowany has worked for decades within the tiny and very Catholic Kazakh hierarchy. Unlike Bishop Schneider, Pytłowany publicly embraced the 2022 Astana interreligious Congress with Francis and spoke - in language reminiscent of the Abu Dhabi fraternity approach - of Kazakhstan’s “beautiful diversity of religious confessions.” Background on Karaganda Karaganda is famous for its Catholicism, connected with Bishop Jan Paweł Lenga, 76. From 1991–1999, Bishop Lenga was Apostolic Administrator of the entire Kazakhstan. After Catholic structures were reorganized in 1999, he became Bishop of Karaganda until …མང་བ།

Today, Pope Leo XIV received Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk, 73, of Utrecht, in audience. AdVaticanum.com reported that the audience comes amid renewed attention to the cardinal’s health. Cardinal Eijk was absent from both extraordinary consistories convened by Pope Leo XIV this year, in January and June, with his absence from the June gathering reported as health-related. His health problems stretch back more than two decades. In 2001, while serving as Bishop of Groningen, he suffered a brainstem infarction. One of its lasting consequences was severe facial pain. On March 2, 2020, the Archdiocese of Utrecht published excerpts from a letter Cardinal Eijk had sent that day to members of pastoral teams. The letter concerned treatment he had undergone abroad for the facial pain caused by his 2001 brainstem infarction. Cardinal Eijk wrote: “I never made public statements about this facial pain, because I wanted to prevent people from sparing me because of it and from being reluctant to call …མང་བ།
