The Vatican's restrictions on the Latin Mass "isn't realistic" because young Catholics' growing attraction to the Church's liturgical tradition is "unstoppable", said Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco speaking with Raymond Arroyo on EWTN. “It's what's drawing young people in and will continue to do so." According to Monsignor Cordileone, the popularity of the Mass among younger generations makes Traditionis Custodes difficult to sustain: "To be honest, I don't think it's realistic". And: "We look at the younger generation. They all love the tradition." "They love the more classical way that the Church worships, the traditional Mass," he continued. Archbishop Cordileone challenged recent comments by Cardinal Arthur Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, who said Leo XIV would not reverse Traditionis Custodes. "I don't know how well he knows the mind of the Holy Father. But I think one thing that's clear to everyone is the Holy Father wants to bring everyone …Lebih
Pembatasan yang diberlakukan Vatikan terhadap Misa Latin “tidak realistis” karena ketertarikan kaum muda Katolik yang semakin besar terhadap tradisi liturgi Gereja “tak terhentikan”, kata Uskup Agung Salvatore Cordileone dari San Francisco saat berbincang dengan Raymond Arroyo di EWTN. “Itulah yang menarik minat kaum muda dan akan terus demikian.” Menurut Monsinyur Cordileone, popularitas Misa di kalangan generasi muda membuat Traditionis Custodes sulit dipertahankan: “Sejujurnya, saya rasa itu tidak realistis.” Dan: “Kita lihat generasi muda. Mereka semua menyukai tradisi.” “Mereka menyukai cara yang lebih klasik dalam beribadah di Gereja, yaitu Misa tradisional,” lanjutnya. Uskup Agung Cordileone menanggapi komentar terbaru Kardinal Arthur Roche, prefek Dicastery for Divine Worship, yang mengatakan bahwa Paus Leo XIV tidak akan membatalkan Traditionis Custodes. "Saya tidak tahu seberapa baik beliau memahami pikiran Bapa Suci. Namun, saya pikir satu hal yang jelas bagi semua orang …Lebih
Leo XIV Takes Time for Punk Grandma: Pope Leo XIV received on Friday punk icon Patti Smith in a private audience at the Vatican. The Chicago-born singer shares the Pope's hometown and has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Holy See. In May, she inaugurated the Holy See Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and she previously performed for Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2014.
This morning the Pope received Patti Smith in the Vatican, originally from Chicago, like him. Last May she had inaugurated the Holy See Pavilion at the Biennale, while in 2014 she had sung for Pope Francis in the Vatican
Today, Pope Leo XIV issued a new Fundamental Law for Vatican City State, replacing the 2023 constitution and codifying recent governance reforms in a 25-article text. The new law enshrines Francis' reforms in the constitution, notably allowing a non-cardinal — including a woman — to serve as President of the Vatican City State's Pontifical Commission and Governorship. Separation of Vatican City State and the Holy See The Pope remains constitutionally supreme. Article 1 states that he holds the full legislative, executive and judicial authority, meaning there is no separation of powers at the highest level. Article 2 explains that Vatican City State exists to guarantee the independence of the Holy See but is legally distinct from the Roman Curia and the institutions of the Holy See. Although this distinction has long existed in practice, it is now stated more explicitly. The clarification has implications for diplomacy, finances and legal responsibility.

Tempat Tinggal Para Pendeta Vatikan Diubah Menjadi Hotel Bintang Empat: Leo XIV telah menyetujui perubahan fungsi Domus Internationalis Paulus VI di Roma dari tempat tinggal para pendeta menjadi hotel bintang empat. Hal ini dikonfirmasi untuk pertama kalinya dalam laporan keuangan APSA tahun 2025. Para kardinal pensiunan, uskup, mantan nunsius, dan para rohaniwan lain yang tinggal di tempat tinggal tersebut menulis surat kepada Leo XIV, meminta agar proyek tersebut dihentikan. Namun, rencana tersebut terus berlanjut dan kini telah memasuki tahap akhir. Bangunan tersebut berasal dari abad ke-15 dan menjadi terkenal pada tahun 2013 ketika, tak lama setelah terpilih, Paus Fransiskus kembali untuk membayar tagihan hotelnya secara pribadi. Vatikan memperkirakan akan menerima sekitar €5 juta per tahun sebagai pendapatan sewa dari properti tersebut.
«Con il Santo Padre Francesco era stato deciso che non si poteva certamente fare un hotel a cinque stelle, per motivi di credibilità e d'immagine; alla fine sarà soltanto un quattro stelle». Un'affermazione che aveva provocato non poco imbarazzo...

I know your tribulation and your poverty—though you are rich—and the slander of those who call themselves Jews but are not, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.

Israel’s Widest Demolition Wave in Months: Israeli forces carried out demolitions across several West Bank communities, affecting homes, businesses, and farms. Near Anza, south of Jenin, owners of three buildings with 18 shops and two apartments were given 40 minutes to evacuate before demolition. Israel says the demolitions target unpermitted construction, while humanitarian groups say Palestinians in Area C are rarely granted building permits. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz also announced more home demolitions, weapons confiscations, and work permit revocations. Palestinian officials say 341 demolition operations in the first half of 2026 destroyed about 740 structures and affected 923 Palestinians.

Environmental Propaganda in Paris Church. Worse than Germany: Since July 9, the nave of Saint-Eustache - one of Paris's largest historic churches - has housed Le Souffle, a 7-meter-tall laser-cut aluminum sculpture by contemporary artist Lydie Arickx. Suspended from the church's central vault, the work is presented as evoking deep-sea coral, the Tree of Life, and the human heart while promoting environmental awareness. The installation defaces the church through 29 September.

Holiness Requires Love Amid Great Suffering St. Paul’s gospel centers on Jesus Christ’s resurrection and descent from David, fulfilling Old Testament promises. Persecution for living piously in Christ is inevitable, as the world hates the Lord. The true challenge lies in accepting persecution with charity and love, as Jesus did, rather than focusing on the injustice of others’ actions. Fr.

Society has a thirst for transcendence, but “the old instruments have already fulfilled their purpose and no longer meet the needs of today's people". This claims Bishop Tomáš Holub, 58, of Plzeň, Czech Republic, in a lengthy article about "Synodality and the Novus Ordo Missae" on 21 July on the blog Come se non, run by the Italian theologian Andrea Grillo. Grillo is an opponent of the Roman rite and is considered an influencer of Traditionis Custodes. According to Bishop Holub, a missionary outlook must be rooted in synodality: "Synodality is not merely a technique of communication, but a way of living the faith... The point is not to hold a synod, but to become a synod." The Czech bishop goes on that the Novus Ordo provides the appropriate expression of the Church's synodal identity: "The Novus Ordo makes it possible for this synodality to be applied in the liturgical sphere. Otherwise, this would be very difficult, since the Vetus Ordo is the expression of a Tridentine vision of the …Lebih
