Leo XIV Promotes Bishop Who Helped Neutralize the Chiclayo Abuse Case
All recent popes - including Benedict, even Pius XII - appointed terrible bishops. We lost the Church here. Glad that someone points that out.
News Pope Francis ‘secret decrees’ undermined defendants’ rights in Cdl. Becciu trial, lawyers say …
Here is the other side from the Pillar newsletter
The issue for me is that the court heard, again, the arguments from the defense concerning a now famous set of four rescripts issued by Pope Francis in 2019 and 2020, which essentially authorized the investigation into the Secretariat of State’s London property fiasco and led to the trial and conviction of Cardinal Angelo Becciu and others.
Defense lawyers again argued this week that these rescripts were somehow illegal secret laws which violated the right to due process for the defendants.
Now, I don’t dispute the right of defense lawyers to make what they see as the best case possible for their clients — and I am neither irritated nor surprised if the best argument open to them is, to any informed eyes, legally nonsensical, spurious, and bordering on obvious bad faith.
But what absolutely baffles me is that no one seems to be offering the obvious critique of this nonsense “secret laws” characterization of what Francis did.
For three years I have been writing some iteration of an analysis explaining, over and over, answering this bizarre characterization of what Pope Francis did, which was technically and legally, not only correct and coherent, but normal in the context of any well-functioning justice system.

Ontario French Catholc School Board shows level of corruption in public schools
Sadly, there is a costly lesson here. Adopt a toxic policy and the school board soon becomes corrupt. And hard earned tax dollars are burned and thrown away in the name of reconciliation and Mother Nature.

Posture Matters: The Case for Altar Rails
"There is a form of liturgical reductionism that the most zealous defenders of contemporary Catholicism often fall into. “It is still valid,” they assert, while ignoring that with each detail of the Church’s worship carried out sloppily or without care, a disease spreads among the faithful. The liturgy is not a sacrament machine, and the Mass is not a meal. For generations of medieval Catholics, who often received the Eucharist only once a year yet commonly and voluntarily attended Mass daily, this was clear. Every rubric of this most sacred worship mattered, consecration and communication alike. God deserves our very best. More than those in our romantic lives. More than those in our family lives. Certainly more than those in our professional lives. These loves are not in competition, nor are they opposed to love of God, and they deserve sincere devotion. But one love stands above all others, surpassing and enlivening them.... The rail slows us down. It stills the body."
Kansan returns to the Catholic Church as the state's first woman priest • Kansas Reflector
Phil Lawler: Odd, isn’t it, that a “Catholic priest” would be ordained in a non-Catholic church? There was no bishop on hand, and the Unity Church, as described, does not sound like even an approximation of Catholicism. Since she cannot act as a priest in a Catholic church, how does Thompson plan to serve?
