The governance of bishop Monseigneur Marc Aillet -one of the best bishops in France and promoted to the episcopate in 2008- and his diocese of Bayonne-Lescar-Oloron in the eye of the Vatican . The Holy See has ordered a “ fraternal visit ” from this Monday, June 3 following several letters and complaints from the faithful, confirming information from La Croix . The archbishop of Dijon was responsible for conducting a series of confidential interviews with the various members of the diocese, which has 200 priests in Béarn and the Basque Country. “ The idea is to take an overview of the functioning of the diocese, and then at the end I will meet the bishop to discuss with him ,” confides archbishop Antoine Hérouard, promoted to the episcopacy by Francis.
The archbishop of Dijon will carry out seven interviews per day for the first week alongside a nun who will take note of all the exchanges. He will conduct a second interview session in early July, before sending a report to the Vatican …More

The church must accept that it does not have the truth for itself – and become a "learning church", demands the Prague theologian Tomas Halik. The synodal process initiated by the Pope is the right step.
The Prague philosopher of religion Tomas Halik believes a radical change of mentality is necessary in the Catholic Church. He told the "Kleine Zeitung" newspaper in an interview that this is about shedding "the pride and arrogance of the owners of the whole truth". "We need to be a listening church; not just a teaching church, but above all a learning church," said Halik. The bureaucratic institution of the church must become "a house for all".
This requires a deepening of ecumenism, interreligious and intercultural dialogue. This also includes an awareness of ecological responsibility for "the environment, the planet as the common home of the entire human family".
According to the sociologist of religion, it is important to "find a way out of the structure of their denominationally …More

The celebration of the so-called homosexual "Pride Month" has been prohibited in all Catholic schools in the English diocese of Nottingham (United Kingdom) under new guidelines that also reject the promotion of gender ideology.
The diocese asks teachers not to celebrate homosexuality in June, the month in which the Church traditionally honors the Sacred Heart of Jesus, because "we cannot celebrate lifestyles that are incompatible with the teaching of the Church".
"In short, it is not appropriate for our schools to celebrate Pride because we cannot support the entire agenda," says a new 40-page document titled "Precious in My Sight . "
«Approving only part of it could be considered dishonest and could lead to confusion. We must, instead, seek to articulate those values and principles with which we can agree, and affirm Catholic teaching in a different, distinct and pastorally positive way.
The guidelines also prohibit children who want to change gender from insisting on using their …More

Good luck with that, Bishop. When the Archbishop of Southwark stopped a 'gay' author spreading propaganda in a school in his diocese, the teachers went on strike: Croydon Catholic school closes due to strike over LGBT book talk And I saw the author's version of the 'Lord's Prayer'. It was about as blasphemous as you can get. A lot of the so-called 'teachers' in Catholic schools are perfidious.

The Bishop of Passau, Stefan Oster SDB, has expressed concern about the lack of priests and has defended the need for a deeper commitment to the faith, opposing proposals to liberalize the German Synodal Path. Oster warns that adopting these reforms could accelerate the dissolution of the Church in secular society.
In view of the shortage of priests, the bishop of Passau, Stefan Oster SDB, has declared: "From a believing people comes the number of priests that are needed." The Passauer Neue Presse newspaper published the interview on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Oster's ordination over the weekend.
"However, if we look at our current structures, we have, of course, very few priests," Oster admitted. «We have this popular Church in decline, which still assumes that all the baptized receive an ecclesiastical burial and that every Catholic child receives Communion in third grade. That is, we still want and need to serve everyone in a generalized way, and to do so we need staff. …More

On the last day of Parish Priests for the Synod—an international meeting of parish priests at the Vatican—Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, SJ, encouraged participants “to become ambassadors of synodality, to be full participants in a synodal Church, to become with all the people of God, missionary disciples of Jesus.”
“Many times their training and their reality have been oriented towards a Tridentine model of the priesthood,” Cardinal Hollerich, the relator-general of the synod on synodality, said of parish priests, in an address to Pope Francis in the presence of participants. “And now they see that the identity they had for centuries is crumbling, and sometimes this identity is lost ... and there is the danger of wanting to build a new identity based on the experience of the past.”
“The identity of priests and parish priests (even bishops) is given to us by the Holy Spirit when we walk with the people,” he continued. “Then the sacraments are no longer the expression of a ritualism in …More

È la prima volta che un vescovo partecipa a una manifestazione pubblica LGBT. "Anche il Santo Padre ce lo ricorda, Dio è padre di tutti"
Per la prima volta in Italiaa, un vescovo partecipa a una manifestazione pubblica in difesa dei diritti LGBT.
È accaduto a Rimini, dove monsignor Nicolò Anselmi ha preso parte alla Giornata della visibilità transgender. “Ci vediamo al parco” il nome dell'iniziativa, organizzata dal gruppo Trans & Non-binary di Arcigay Rimini al Parco Marecchia negli spazi de 'La Serra 100 Fiori', dedicata alla promozione della visibilità della comunità transgender.
"Probabilmente dobbiamo camminare ancora, ma la strada che il Vangelo e Gesù ci hanno indicato è quella di accogliere veramente tutti" ha dichiarato Anselmi durante la manifestazione. "È bello essere qui, mi sembra anche doveroso perché Dio è veramente padre di tutti. Anche il Santo Padre ce lo ricorda, ma anche Gesù ce l'ha ricordato: "Padre nostro", e in questo nostro ci siamo tutti. Per cui non vedo perché …More

For the first time in Italyy, a bishop takes part in a public demonstration in defense of LGBT rights.
It happened in Rimini, where Monsignor Nicolò Anselmi took part in the Transgender Visibility Day. “See you at the park” is the name of the initiative, organized by the Trans & Non-binary group of Arcigay Rimini at Parco Marecchia in the spaces of 'La Serra 100 Fiori', dedicated to promoting the visibility of the transgender community.
"We probably still have to walk, but the path that the Gospel and Jesus have shown us is that of truly welcoming everyone" declared Anselmi during the event. "It's nice to be here, it also seems right to me because God is truly the father of all. The Holy Father also reminds us of this, but Jesus also reminded us of this: "Our Father", and in this of ours we are all present. So I don't see why we shouldn't be here."

Arcybiskup stanie się kolejną ofiarą Franciszka, odchodząc na emeryturę bez przedłużenia i bez mianowania kardynałem. Czytelnicy Gloria.tv powinni pamiętać, że dobry arcybiskup jest znany w Polsce i za granicą z obrony doktryny katolickiej, sprzeciwu wobec sodomii, czy obrony życia i walki z aborcją w swoim kraju; a także za potępienie antykatolickiego nurtu Kościoła niemieckiego. Nagroda? Nie bądź kardynałem i nie odchodź na emeryturę bez przedłużenia.
Nowym arcybiskupem krakowskim mógłby zostać postępowy i homoseksualny Ryś, arcybiskup łódzki, mianowany kardynałem rok wcześniej.

Several sources have confirmed to Polish media that Archbishop Marek Jedraszewski, current archbishop of Krakow in Poland and one of the most important sees in the country, and appointed in 2016, will retire in July of this year, THE MONTH IN WHICH HE WILL SUBMIT THE RESIGNATION BY AGE. The archbishop will become another victim of Francis by retiring without having any extension, and without having been created a cardinal. Gloria.tv readers should keep in mind that the good archbishop is known inside and outside Poland for defending Catholic doctrine, with his opposition to sodomy, or his defense of life and the fight against abortion in his country; as well as for denouncing the anti-Catholic drift of the German Church. The award? Not be a cardinal and retire without extension.
The new archbishop of Krakow could be the progressive and homosexual Rys, archbishop of Lodz and created cardinal the previous year.

"When I took office as bishop, almost two years ago, there were no priestly ordinations in our diocese. At the end of my episcopal ordination, I had joked with the congregation that this year more bishops would be ordained than priests." Monsignor Earl Fernandes, bishop of the diocese of Columbus, United States, smiles when remembering this anecdote with Vatican News.
He also smiles because in less than two years the situation has changed completely: thanks to pastoral efforts and prayers, last year 16 young people entered the seminary and this year the diocese - which also boasts an increase in the number of faithful - hopes at least a dozen more.
