The Encylclical’s Section Inventing Lay Governance: In a May 25 video, Raymond Arroyo flagged Paragraph 87 of Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas because it calls for "the participation of the baptized in decision-making processes" within the Church. Fr. Gerald Murray responded that the language comes directly from the Synod’s final document: "This is lay governance in the Church. This is this new theory that the power to govern in the Church is derived from the sacrament of baptism, not from the sacrament of holy orders. This has no place in a document about social justice and AI. This is just a further lobbying effort to try and convince people that the way the Church has been run from the beginning — which is that the apostles and their successors are the shepherds who take care of the flock — that that’s being discarded. It’s regrettable to say the least."
Buried in the Pope’s new Encyclical on A.I. are some things you might have missed, like a section on the governance of the Church- by lay people.
Beata gens, cuius est Dominus Deus eius. Ps 32:12 Holy Church rejoices today in celebrating the historical event of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and upon the Most Holy Virgin Mary, fifty days after the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The rank of this feast is equal to that of Holy Easter; indeed, on the vigil of this blessed day – according to the rites predating the ill-fated Holy Week reform enacted by Annibale Bugnini – a Vigil is celebrated, just as on Holy Saturday, featuring the chanting of the Prophecies and an identical baptismal liturgy. The Paschal Candle reappears during this night of grace, a symbol of the Incarnate Word, the Light of the world (Jn 8:12). And amidst the lush splendor of the month of May, Pentecost was known as the “Easter of Roses,” for their crimson petals call to mind the tongues of fire that descended upon each of the one hundred and twenty disciples gathered in the Upper Room. Let us, therefore, celebrate the Holy Spirit: the …Sateruse

Retired Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, 81, told SettimanaNews.it (May 21) that Pope Francis “felt the need to adapt doctrine to new times” regarding Humanae Vitae (1968). Francis had asked the pro-homosexual Archbishop to prepare the “necessary updates.” Monsignor Paglia wrote a text with a group of theologians, and Francis “appreciated it greatly”. The issues under discussion included homosexuality, marriage, “irregular” (sinful) situations, and Communion for the divorced and remarried. Throughout the interview, Paglia portrays Catholic moral theology - including the concept of “non-negotiable values” - as “moralistic,” based on “abstract principles,” “desk theology,” and detached from "real human experience". "Immutable vision of natural law" overturned Furthermore, Archbishop Paglia stated that the 2016 “reform” of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family involved “rethinking the concept of ‘nature’.” According to Paglia, the previous approach had rested …Sateruse
The year was 1909, and Milton Hershey had already done the impossible once. He had clawed his way out of poverty, survived three catastrophic business failures, and built one of the most recognizable brands in American history. Most men would have called that enough. But Milton and his wife Catherine were sitting on something that kept them awake at night. A fortune. A chocolate empire. And no children to leave it to. So they did something that still seems almost too generous to be real. They founded a residential school outside of Hershey, Pennsylvania, designed specifically to take in orphaned boys with nowhere else to go. Not a charity donation. Not a wing on a hospital. A whole school. With dormitories, farms, classrooms, and a promise that every child who walked through its doors would be fed, clothed, educated, and loved. Then, in 1918, Milton went even further. Quietly, with almost no public announcement, he signed over his entire personal fortune to the school's trust. We're …Sateruse
Commissioner for Padre Pio's Hospital: Leo XIV has established a Steering and Supervisory Commission to address the long-running financial troubles of Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, the southern Italian hospital founded by Padre Pio. The body, chaired by the Vatican's economy prefect Maximino Caballero Ledo, holds full operational powers and reports directly to the Pope. It will oversee efforts to stabilise the hospital, which carries debts of around €108 million to suppliers.
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller spoke to kath.net on May 26 about the episcopal consecrations on July 1 by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. Main quotes.. No sympathy for the FSSPX “They understand themselves as an emergency community that will remain at a distance until the millions of Catholics who have fallen into Modernism, thousands of bishops and priests, and the current Pope return to the Church which the Society of St. Pius X preserves as the holy remnant of the one true Catholic Church.” Can the Entire Church Have Fallen Into Error? “From a purely human and theological perspective, it cannot be the case that the two thousand bishops and all the popes who have gathered at the Council have been mistaken on dogmatic issues or have deviated from the apostolic tradition, with the exception of a single bishop who, through illegal episcopal ordinations alone, ensures the Church’s continued existence” No one has a right to become a bishop “Nobody has a claim to episcopal …Sateruse
Can the Entire Church Have Fallen Into Error? Cardinal Mueller errors in considering the entire Church to be represented by a few thousand Bishops in 1960. The entire Church consists of the Church militant, suffering and triumphant. It consists of all the faithful members over 2000 years.

Twice Torn Down and Twice Raised Again — The Story of the Aneto Cross: In mid-April, the historic iron cross on Aneto in the Pyrenees, installed in 1951, was cut down with a grinder and thrown off the mountain. Spanish authorities opened an investigation. On May 8, French climber Maël Le Lagadec, 18, carried a self-built 35-kg wooden cross to the 3,404-meter summit to replace it. Days later, the new cross was also torn down and thrown down the slope. Spanish climbers recovered it from the snow and reinstalled it on the summit.

Austrian Bishop Rides Scooter Through Church During Confirmation: On May 24, Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics of Eisenstadt rode an electric scooter through a church in Neckenmarkt during a Confirmation Eucharist. The scene was captured by a photographer and shared by ORF Burgenland on Instagram. The bishop explained that he wanted to make his sermon "relevant" to the young congregation, having been told that the children in the area are avid scooter riders. By incorporating the vehicle into the service, he hoped to use it as a means of explaining the Holy Spirit in a way that would resonate with them.

On Tuesday, Leo XIV visited Castel Gandolfo, where Ferrari chairman John Elkann presented the new Ferrari Luce, the company’s first fully electric vehicle and first five-seat model. Before getting in the vehicle, Leo XIV asked: "Is this the first ever four-door Ferrari?" Leo XIV sat in the vehicle for a presentation. The same day, former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo criticized the Luce sharply: "We risk the destruction of a legend." And: "At least the Chinese won’t copy this car."

Chapter XVIII In Aquitaine once when the Christians were communicating at Easter, among the Christian boys a Jew went up to the altar and took the Body of the Lord with them. Returning to his parents and being asked where he had been, he replied that he had gone with his boy-friends to the church and had communicated with them. Then his father, being exceedingly angry, threw the boy into the fire, from which, however, the Blessed Virgin Mary saved him unhurt. But the mother of the the boy by her cries collected many Christians and Jews together, who, seeing the boy alive in the fire, asked him, after he had been taken out, how it was he felt no pain. And he replied that she who was above the altar of the Christians, had appeared to him and driven off all the flames with her cloak. Then understanding that it was the image of the Blessed Mary, they threw the father of the boy into the fire and he being at once consumed, many became more fervent in the faith.

"And the Devil came and mocked him, saying: “ Are you not he who made me so misshapen in your pictures and spat on my figure ? Because you mocked me I have mocked you. Behold, ‘ Miserable Wretch ’ shall be your name. Ask, therefore, your Mary, whom you made so beautiful, to help you now.” He therefore, being reminded of the pity of the Mother of God, began with all his heart to call upon her to vouchsafe her aid in his great affliction. And in very truth she, the Mother of Piety, did appear unto him, and said : “ Be comforted in the Lord and hereafter Stand firm and beware of the wiles of the Devil, for I will not desert you in this trouble.” And immediately she seized the Devil and bound him to the pillar, releasing Hieronymus."
Swiss Bishops Back Ban on "Conversion Therapy": The Swiss Bishops' Conference (SBK) has expressed support for proposed federal legislation criminalising conversion therapy targeting homosexuals.

Vatican Must Clarify: Is Fiducia Supplicans Withdrawn?: After the Coptic Orthodox community resumed dialogue with the Vatican following a two-year freeze because of Fiducia Supplicans, Rev Gerald Murray called for “journalistic transparency”. Leo XIV reportedly told Tawadros II that the Church does not bless homosexual couples: "The next plane interview, we have to ask: is Fiducia Supplicans withdrawn? Is the Coptic Patriarch accurately describing what you told him? Because all we’ve heard from Cardinal Fernández and the Pope himself is that Fiducia Supplicans allows informal — but still real — blessings of couples. You can say they’re blessing individuals, but that’s not what Fiducia Supplicans says. It says homosex couples. And ‘couples’ doesn’t mean individual, it means couple", Rev Murray said.
