France Adopts Assisted Dying Law: Today, France's National Assembly voted 291–241 to adopt legislation legalizing assisted dying. While individual healthcare professionals may refuse to participate, Catholic hospitals and care homes are denied an institutional conscience clause.

Today, Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered an address at the European Parliament in Brussels. He noted that the European Union uses development aid and international agreements to export abortion and gender ideology to African nations. He spoke of "ideological colonization", arguing that modern Europe increasingly seeks to influence African legislation through trade agreements, development assistance, and diplomatic pressure. Words Have a Meaning Opening his address, Sarah questioned whether Europe and Africa still share a common understanding of the language that dominates international diplomacy. "Can we still understand each other? Do the words we use - human rights, dignity, development, freedom, health, gender, family - still mean the same thing to those who pronounce them in Brussels, Strasbourg, Kampala, or Conakry?" Inconsistency Is Deliberate One of his examples is the expression “sexual and reproductive health” that often means abortion. Another example is the term “gender equality …Lebih
"One does not care for life by giving death," Father François Yambressinga, parish priest of La Madeleine in Châteaudun, said during his July 5 homily, before the French National Assembly's final vote on legalizing euthanasia tomorrow. He urged the faithful to "pray for life" and to "pray for parliamentarians so that they do not do just anything." Among the congregation was Philippe Vigier, the bill's general rapporteur. He is also the mayor of Châteaudun and a member of the National Assembly for Les Démocrates. Vigier attended the Mass because it was part of the town's annual Foire aux Laines medieval festival. Civic officials appear in costume. He sat in the front row dressed as the fifteenth-century military commander Jean de Dunois. Afterward, Vigier told L'Écho Républicain that he felt personally targeted and "deeply hurt" by the homily. "The priest appealed to the congregation while I had no opportunity to respond. That is unacceptable," he said. According to witnesses cited by …Lebih

Uskup Hieronymus Emusugut Joya dari Maralal, Kenya, telah menangguhkan tugas enam imam keuskupan sebagai bagian dari serangkaian langkah-langkah besar-besaran. Langkah-langkah tersebut bertujuan untuk memperkuat disiplin dan akuntabilitas keuangan. Penangguhan tersebut dilakukan menyusul tuduhan penyalahgunaan wewenang gerejawi, kelalaian administratif, dan pengelolaan aset Gereja yang tidak tepat. Saat mengumumkan keputusan tersebut dalam Misa pada 12 Juli, Uskup Joya menyatakan bahwa ia baru bertindak setelah menerima bukti yang dapat dipercaya. Penangguhan ini berdampak pada sebagian besar klerus keuskupan tersebut. Didirikan oleh Santo Yohanes Paulus II pada tahun 2001, keuskupan ini memiliki 15 paroki yang dilayani oleh 30 imam keuskupan. Seiring dengan penangguhan tersebut, Uskup Joya memperkenalkan serangkaian arahan disiplin dan administratif bagi para imam, termasuk: - Para imam wajib kembali ke tempat tinggal mereka paling lambat pukul 19.00 untuk doa malam. - Para imam wajib …Lebih
"It is obviously possible to be fully Catholic while living the sacramental life according to the books of 1962. It is absolutely unacceptable to affirm the contrary", Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told the organisers of the Chartres pilgrimage ‘Notre-Dame de Chrétienté’ in a July 14 YouTube.com video. And: "The liturgy according to the usus antiquior of the Roman Rite is an inestimable treasure of the Church which must be preserved and cherished because it is intimately linked to the very identity of the Roman Catholic Church." Cardinal Burke argued that the Roman rite has proven to be a powerful instrument of evangelization: “It is evident that this liturgy is missionary," he said. "This is seen by its fruits today as in centuries past, because it attracts through its sense of the sacred and transcendence." He added that this is "particularly evident with the younger generation," which he said has "a profound hunger for the spiritual in an increasingly horizontal world." Vatican II …Lebih
This is certainly true. The anti TLM gang had secret meetings in the middle of the night when most were asleep, and the measures passed with those few in attendance. So, in the morning, it was too late as the motions were passed and Paul VI signed them. This whole affair makes Watergate look like a small girl's tea party.
Today, Leo XIV accepted the resignation of Italian born Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa, 75, of Huacho, Peru. No successor was appointed. The resignation follows allegations of homosexual misconduct. In April 2026, InfoVaticana.com had reported that complaints had been submitted to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima and to the Vatican, accusing Santarsiero of homosexually abusing a former minor seminarian and a priest who had served as his secretary. As usual, Santarsiero has categorically denied all allegations. The seminarian claimed Santarsiero subjected him to unwanted sexual contact and used promises of scholarships, employment, and opportunities within the diocese to exercise influence over him. The former secretary to Santarsiero alleges that the bishop subjected him to unwanted physical contact and psychological manipulation. According to the dossier, the priest also claims Santarsiero attempted to discredit him by spreading claims about his sexual orientation after he rejected …Lebih

Bishop Hieronymus Emusugut Joya of Maralal, Kenya, has suspended six diocesan priests as part of a sweeping package of measures. They are aimed at strengthening discipline and financial accountability. The suspensions follow allegations of abuse of ecclesiastical authority, administrative negligence, and the mismanagement of Church property. Announcing the decision during Mass on 12 July, Bishop Joya said he had acted only after receiving credible evidence. The suspensions affect a significant proportion of the diocese's clergy. Established by St. John Paul II in 2001, the diocese has 15 parishes served by 30 diocesan priests. Alongside the suspensions, Bishop Joya introduced a series of disciplinary and administrative directives for clergy, including: - Priests must return to their residences by 7:00 p.m. for evening prayer. - Priests require the bishop's permission to spend the night away from their residence. - No lay person may stay overnight in a priest's residence without prior …Lebih
"Kita tidak menghargai kehidupan dengan memberikan kematian," kata Pastor François Yambressinga, pastor paroki La Madeleine di Châteaudun, dalam khotbahnya pada 5 Juli, menjelang pemungutan suara akhir Majelis Nasional Prancis mengenai legalisasi eutanasia besok. Ia mendesak umat untuk "berdoa demi kehidupan" dan "berdoa bagi para anggota parlemen agar mereka tidak sembarangan mengambil keputusan." Di antara jemaat terdapat Philippe Vigier, pelapor umum rancangan undang-undang tersebut. Ia juga menjabat sebagai walikota Châteaudun dan anggota Majelis Nasional dari partai Les Démocrates. Vigier menghadiri Misa tersebut karena acara itu merupakan bagian dari festival abad pertengahan tahunan kota tersebut, Foire aux Laines. Para pejabat kota tampil dengan mengenakan kostum. Ia duduk di barisan depan dengan mengenakan kostum Jean de Dunois, seorang panglima militer abad ke-15. Setelah itu, Vigier mengatakan kepada L'Écho Républicain bahwa ia merasa menjadi sasaran secara pribadi dan “sangat …Lebih

Hari ini, Leo XIV menerima pengunduran diri Uskup Antonio Santarsiero Rosa (75), kelahiran Italia, dari Keuskupan Huacho, Peru. Belum ada penggantinya yang ditunjuk. Pengunduran diri ini terjadi menyusul tuduhan perilaku tidak pantas terkait homoseksual. Pada April 2026, InfoVaticana.com melaporkan bahwa pengaduan telah diajukan ke Nunsiatur Apostolik di Lima dan ke Vatikan, yang menuduh Santarsiero melakukan pelecehan seksual terhadap seorang mantan seminaris muda dan seorang imam yang pernah menjabat sebagai sekretarisnya. Seperti biasa, Santarsiero dengan tegas membantah semua tuduhan tersebut. Siswa seminari tersebut mengklaim bahwa Santarsiero telah melakukan kontak seksual yang tidak diinginkan terhadapnya dan menggunakan janji beasiswa, pekerjaan, serta peluang di dalam keuskupan untuk memengaruhi dirinya. Mantan sekretaris Santarsiero menuduh bahwa uskup tersebut telah melakukan kontak fisik yang tidak diinginkan dan manipulasi psikologis terhadapnya. Menurut berkas tersebut, …Lebih
The controversial organisation Amnesty International UK published a report on 8 July listing the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales among 117 organizations it described as part of an “anti-rights movement” in the United Kingdom. The report, A Growing Threat: the Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, said the listed organizations formed an ecosystem seeking to undermine the rights of women and homosexuals. It also named the Catholic Medical Association, Premier Christian News, J.K. Rowling’s women-only support service Beira’s Place, and a number of Christian, pro-life, and gender-critical organizations. The report defined “anti-rights actors” as groups, individuals, and public or private bodies seeking to weaken human rights protections in law and practice. The publication drew criticism from a number of the organizations named. Two days after publication, Amnesty International UK withdrew the report. It said the document had been published without passing the organization's …Lebih
