Marriage and family: “We can no longer continue as before. It is a change, an evolution.” At today’s closing press conference of the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Msgr. Philippe Bordeyne, president of the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences, declared: “We can no longer continue as before” in family ministry. Asked about marital failures, he described an “evolution” in the meeting’s approach to family “fragility”: rather than focusing on irregular marital situations, it now treats fragility as a universal human condition. “I don’t know whether it is a step forward, but it is a change, an evolution.”
Bordeyne : « Nous ne pouvons plus continuer comme avant » dans la pastorale familiale. Et : « Je ne sais pas si c’est un pas en avant, mais c’est un changement, une évolution. »
Leo XIV has written from hospital to the Amoris Laetitia conference. He will read the final document soon and urges the bishops to share “what you have lived and received, and to continue proclaiming the Gospel with families, drawing on the richness of Amoris Laetitia.” Due to his surgery, the conference's final document will not be published until Leo XIV has worked on it. He will offer his reflections "in due course". Meanwhile, Leo XIV is recovering as expected.

Introduction of monogamy in Africa was an “injustice.” German bishops’ website highlights defense of polygamy. Katholisch.de, the German bishops’ news portal, yesterday promoted the favorable views on polygamy of Father Égide Muziazia from Münster. Originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Muziazia has lived in Germany since 2006 and was ordained in 2011. “Polygamy in Africa is neither merely a moral failing nor a sign of moral backwardness. Rather, it is a social institution embedded in a comprehensive network of kinship, alliance-building, and the transmission of life,” he said. The encounter with Christian missionaries led to a “head-on cultural clash,” according to Muziazia. “Monogamy was demanded as a prerequisite for baptism. The monogamous marriage thus became the hallmark of the exemplary Christian—with the result that the ‘surplus’ wives were often cast aside - an injustice committed in the name of the Gospel.” The priest praises the Vatican Synod Secretariat’s …Zwiṅwe
If one member of a monogamously-married heathen couple wants to be baptized, must they renounce their marriage as false prior to baptism? . Given that God allowed Moses to allow polygamy, on what basis, exactly, does the Church refuse baptism to polygamously-married heathen? . Don't forget that even the unrepentant can be validly baptized (and thereby remitting original sin), although such a baptism does not bestow sanctifying grace. How is a polygamous marriage different from that?
Leo XIV appoints a Brazilian archbishop who had "permitted" the baptism of unrepentant adults in homosexual relationships. The promoted prelate acknowledged that, in such circumstances, baptism “does not confer sanctifying grace”. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Wellington de Queiroz Vieira, 58, as Archbishop of Cuiabá, Brazil. He led the Diocese of Cristalândia since 2017. Born in Tocantinópolis in 1968, Vieira studied philosophy and canon law in Rome, was ordained a priest in 1996. Amazon Synod: Celibacy and Female Deacons Monsignor Vieira participated in Francis' controversial 2019 Amazon Synod (Pachamama). At a Vatican press conference on October 16, 2019, Vieira declared that there were no biblical or theological obstacles to ordaining married men to the priesthood. However, he added that he doesn’t believe celibacy is the principal cause of the shortage of priests. Asked about the possibility of female deacons, Monsignor Vieira said: “The Synod has no decision-making …Zwiṅwe
Celibacy: The brighter the priestly chastity shines, the more the priest becomes, together with Christ, 'a pure, holy, and spotless offering' [Roman Missal, Canon]. - As the Catechism notes in paragraph 1579, priests of the Latin Church are not allowed to marry. The Catechism cites Christ's words from Matthew 19:12, 'for the sake of the kingdom of heaven,' as the reason for this celibacy.
The South American church has always been a mile wide and an inch deep (e.g., it routinely turned a blind eye to priests with girlfriends or common law wives and children). Then came Liberation Theology, which pretty much displaced Christ's actual teachings, which then infected its seminarians, who became priests then bishops then archbishops . . . then popes.
Many people from many countries, including NATO have said, Russia does no want any problem with anyone. And they have said it many times. They are playing their games. This is not unusual at all. EVERYONE in NATO loves to play games with Russia. This means nothing actually. Jut more games they will wish they didn't play on Russia. in the end.

Leo XIV appoints prelate to major Archdicoese in Slovakia. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Marek Forgáč, 52, as Archbishop of Košice, Slowakia. He has been Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Košice since 2016. Košice has nearly 500 priests and 700k Catholics. A psychologist with a doctorate in social psychology, Archbishop Forgáč considers psychology to be a source of truth. In a 2024 interview, he recalled meeting a homosexual man whom several priests had refused to receive. Deeply moved by his “suffering”, Forgáč listened to the homosexual and gave him a blessing. When asked about blessings for homosexuals, the bishop emphasised compassion and the importance of pro-homosexual psychology: “Psychology helps us greatly, not only in our concrete approach to a person, but also in understanding the truth.” After admitting that there “are universal norms” he added a “but” to say that “we need to see the concrete person standing before us.” “Sometimes that person's story may …Zwiṅwe

He said he spoke to the Pope before he went into the surgery but hasn’t spoken to him directly following the news of his diagnosis: “It was quite a shock especially from my younger brother, my youngest brother because I’m undergoing cancer treatment myself..to hear that he had that nodule on his lung it was kind of nerve-wracking, shaky…but speaking to him, you know that’s when he told me..well I said, was it life-threatening, 'no', does it seem serious, 'no, they think it's early enough it's small it should be relatively easy surgery'…so we were all in high-hopes and high spirits hoping for the best.
