The Eucharist is the “antidote” to an increasingly individualistic culture, Benedict XVI said at the Angelus yesterday (video).
Three Catholic martyrs executed under the Nazi regime – Fr Hermann Lange, Fr Eduard Müller and Fr Johannes Prassek – were beatified in Germany on Saturday.
Cardinal Angelo Amato beatified Serafino Morazzone, Sister Enrichetta Alfieri and Fr Clemente Vismara in Milan yesterday.
The Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal Jose da Cruz Policarpo, has said that there is no fundamental theological obstacle to women priests.
Rorate Caeli reports that the Pope may declare 2012 the “Year of the Faith”.
The Patriarch of Lisbon is confusing the faithful and leading advocates of women’s ordination into false hope. The matter is closed, as it has been made clear time and again: the Church and the Pope – any Pope – have not the authority to permit it – ever.
