US Bishop bans St. Michael prayer after Mass.
Bishop Mark Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has directed priests to discontinue the communal recitation of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel immediately before or after Mass.
In his October 16 article, he claims that in order to celebrate the liturgy “in accordance with the mind of the Church” priests need to “catechize the people of God as we move away from additional prayers recited together immediately before, during, and immediately after Mass.”
Additional prayers - including those to St. Michael, St. Francis, and the Holy Spirit - should not become regular additions to the celebration of Mass. He cited the Second Vatican Council's call for a liturgy marked by “noble simplicity.”

Diplomazia dall’ospedale – La telefonata tra Putin e Leone XIV è stata un’iniziativa del Papa per mediare nella guerra contro l’Ucraina
«È stato il Santo Padre a prendere l’iniziativa» della telefonata al presidente russo Putin, «per perorare la causa di questa città assediata, nella quale si trovano circa 2.000 civili che hanno bisogno di vie di fuga, di corridoi umanitari. Credo che il Papa abbia chiesto una tregua per consentire sia l’arrivo di aiuti umanitari, in particolare di generi alimentari, sia l’evacuazione di coloro che devono lasciare la città». È quanto ha affermato il Segretario di Stato vaticano, il cardinale Pietro Parolin, dopo la telefonata tra Leone XIV e Putin. «Spero — ha aggiunto — che, di fronte a una richiesta del Santo Padre, il presidente Putin, per così dire, accetti di mettere in pratica ciò che gli è stato chiesto».

Things You Can't Recover in Life.

China unilaterally chooses a bishop, and Leo XIV retroactively “appoints” him.
The Vatican press service announced today that Father Ignatius Ding Zuyao, 40, was consecrated Bishop of Haimen, in China's Jiangsu province. He is now the youngest bishop worldwide.
Leo XIV reportedly confirmed his appointment on 24 August 2026.
However, Ding was selected unilateral on 14 May 2026 by the Chinese selection process - 102 days before the alleged "appointment" by Leo XIV.
Ding was consecrated by Bishop Joseph Shen Bin of Shanghai. The latter is vice-president of the Chinese governmental ‘Patriotic Association’.
During Ding's consecration, the secretary-general of the Chinese Bishops' Conference read the approval document issued by that body.
During an episcopal consecration in the Church, the papal bull is read - not so today.
Furthermore, AsiaNews.it highlights a pattern in China's episcopal appointments. Ding is the youngest bishop in the world. Four of the five bishops appointed in China in …

EXCLUSIVE: Bishop Schneider says SSPX’s activity a ‘work of Divine Providence’ for Holy See
The prominent prelate spoke to the Catholic Herald in a wide-ranging interview to discuss the old rite, the SSPX, Vatican II and the Novus Ordo and the need for divine intervention.
Analysing the current status of the traditional Mass and the SSPX, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told the Catholic Herald that there are “evident doctrinal and liturgical defects in the Novus Ordo” which must be addressed, but that the Vatican still views the old rite “as something dangerous”.
Astana’s prominent auxiliary, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, is due to celebrate Mass for the annual traditional Mass pilgrimage to Rome later this month. In a change of fortune from last year, the pilgrimage was denied permission to celebrate the Mass in the Vatican, as had been the default, meaning that Schneider will instead offer the liturgy in the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major.

Leo XIV promoted Bishop Paolo Andreolli today to Ponta de Pedras, Brazil. The video is from his episcopal consecration in April 2023 in the Cathedral of Belém, including an indigenous-style ceremonial gesture with a maraca-rattle.

Happy 100th birthday, Winnie the Pooh! 5 Christian lessons he has been teaching us for a century
The Hundred Acre Wood is filled with characters who are very different — from the anxious Piglet to the controlling Rabbit and know-it-all Owl — yet, despite their differences, these characters form a community.
It was 100 years ago today — on Oct. 14, 1926 — that author A.A. Milne first introduced the world to Winnie the Pooh, his many friends, and the world within the Hundred Acre Wood.
As a young girl, I spent countless hours watching Winnie the Pooh and humming “Little Black Rain Cloud” around my home. Now, as a mother to a toddler, I have found myself reliving these stories through the eyes of my own child, who also spends her evenings watching Winnie the Pooh and singing the theme song repeatedly as we drive in the car.
While I was rewatching these movies and episodes, I couldn’t help but notice that several Christian themes arose in the content. And while these stories were not written …

Architect of Traditionis custodes accuses Archbishop Cordileone of ‘schismatic arguments’ | Advaticanum
A news and culture publication focused on the Vatican and Catholicism, providing in-depth analysis, commentary, and features on a wide range of topics related to the Church and its global impact.
One of the architects of Traditionis custodes has accused Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco of advancing a “schismatic interpretation of unity” after the American prelate argued that the Church enjoyed greater unity under Pope Benedict XVI’s Summorum Pontificum than under Pope Francis’s restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass.
Andrea Grillo, a professor at the Pontifical Athenaeum of Sant’Anselmo in Rome, made the criticism in a blog post published on 12 October, attacking Archbishop Cordileone’s defence of the 1962 Roman Missal and his call for dialogue with the Society of St Pius X (SSPX).
As previously reported by this publication, in a 45-minute interview published by …

Leo XIV-appointed bishop wants women to preach at Mass.
Bishop Beat Grögli of St. Gallen, Switzerland, has defended the practice of women delivering homilies at Mass, although canon law defines the homily as an inherent part of the liturgy.
Kath.ch reported on October 8 that Bishop Grögli told a group of women that this prohibited practice had existed in his diocese for nearly 50 years. He suggested that reversing the practice would be incomprehensible.
Grögli described the theological arguments against women preaching as “weak,” adding: “Honestly, I have never understood them.” He considers “the female perspective in preaching an enrichment.”
Asked whether his position constituted disobedience, he pointed to ongoing discussions with Rome.
Canon 767 §1 reserves the homily at Mass to priests and deacons. The Vatican's 2004 instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum states that lay homilies at Mass cannot acquire legitimacy through longstanding custom.
Pope Leo XIV appointed Grögli Bishop of …
