Apakah Kardinal Parolin bertindak atas perintah dari atas? Luigi Casalini dari MessaInLatino.it berpendapat bahwa Sekretariat Negara Vatikan mengikuti perintah ketika menolak izin ziarah Summorum Pontificum untuk memasuki Basilika Santo Petrus dalam prosesi. Ia merasa sulit percaya bahwa keputusan tersebut diambil tanpa persetujuan dari tingkat tertinggi. Ketika pewawancara Giovanni Zenone menyarankan bahwa Paus Leo XIV terlibat, Casalini menjawab: “Saya tidak tahu soal itu.” Casalini juga mengemukakan kemungkinan bahwa para jurnalis Vatikan arus utama telah menerima panggilan telepon yang memerintahkan mereka untuk meredam kontroversi tersebut, sambil mencatat keheningan relatif mereka meskipun ada liputan luas di dunia berbahasa Inggris.
Luigi Casalini: No, guarda, io non voglio difendere Parolin, ma secondo me, e arriviamo al terzo livello, secondo me la Segreteria di Stato sono stati molto maleducati, ma secondo me hanno fatto quello che gli è stato ordinato. Terzo, io mi rifiuterei di crederlo, ma come analista in questo momento e non come tifoso, cioè non come partecipante e, tra virgolette, organizzatore del pellegrinaggio, sarei... sono abbastanza incredulo che non ci fosse una concordanza nella decisione da parte delle più alte cariche, cioè... Giovanni Zenone (@Fede & Cultura): Cioè del Papa, dai, diciamolo chiaro, da parte del Papa. Luigi Casalini: No, io non lo so questo, però una decisione che poi è data... cioè soprattutto il mondo anglosassone... perché quello che anche lì è strano, è bizzarro, che stranamente in Italia questa cosa è stata tirata fuori dal Messaggero, dalla Bussola, da Messa in Latino, ovviamente, e anche da altri siti. Però stranamente, adesso non voglio essere malizioso, che i vaticanisti …Lebih
Cardinal Burke denies the pre-conclave dinners. Cardinal Raymond Burke had denied hosting the dinners at his Roman apartment that allegedly helped secure Leo XIV’s election, writes Phil Lawler on CatholicCulture.org on October 29. The sensational story of the dinner parties at Cardinal Burke’s Rome apartment was published by the homosexual journalist Francesco Capozza on IlTempo.it in August. It is circulating again because RorateCaeli.blogspot.com translated the article on October 25. Capozza does not identify a single source, relying instead on anonymous accounts attributed to participants and an unnamed cardinal. The article suggests that two dinners at Cardinal Burke’s apartment helped secure 20–25 votes for Cardinal Prevost. Lawler does not cite a source for the denial either. Multiple sources had said that Cardinal Raymond Burke denied hosting the meetings, “Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.” …Lebih
Bishop Marian Eleganti: “The Vatican Cuts a Poor Figure”. Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti condemns the exclusion of Catholics from St. Peter’s Basilica on October 24: “This year’s ban on access to St. Peter’s Basilica for the tradition-minded pilgrims of ‘Ad Petri Sedem’ borders on hostility toward Catholics who are loyal to the Pope and orthodox in their faith. It has nothing to do with concern for unity in the Church or with operational difficulties in organizing liturgical celebrations in St. Peter’s Basilica.” “Synodal hypocrisy (inclusivity) has thereby revealed itself for what it is.” Bishop Eleganti notes that the “Ad Petri Sedem” pilgrims are not the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): “We have known it for a long time: Certain people are inclusive only as long as it serves their own goals. They ruthlessly and cold-bloodedly exclude different ways of thinking and different approaches to pastoral care and spirituality. This has been my consistent experience.” “So-…Lebih
Uskup Barron menegur Kardinal Vesco. Dalam sebuah postingan pada 28 Oktober di X.com, Uskup Robert Barron dari Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, menyerang Uskup Agung Jean-Paul Vesco dari Aljir. Vesco sebelumnya menyatakan bahwa “Gereja tidak ada untuk mengkonversi” dan bahwa umat Kristiani harus mendekati agama-agama lain “melalui persaudaraan, bukan dengan mencari konversi.” “Maaf, tapi… apa?” jawab Barron. Mengutip perintah Kristus untuk “membuat semua bangsa menjadi murid-murid-Nya,” uskup asal Amerika itu menambahkan: “Bagi saya, itu jelas terdengar seperti konversi.” Uskup Barron kemudian mengutip St. Paulus, yang berkhotbah di Korintus, Athena, dan Tesalonika. Tujuannya, kata Barron, “bukan untuk mendengarkan atau membentuk kelompok diskusi, melainkan untuk menyampaikan pesan yang menggemparkan”: bahwa Yesus Kristus telah bangkit dari kematian. Ia juga mengkritik apa yang ia lihat sebagai masalah yang lebih luas dalam hierarki Gereja, membuka tulisannya dengan komentar: “Nah, seorang …Lebih
Milan Archbishop Mario Delpini has issued new funeral guidelines. He reaffimed that funerals must be free, with only voluntary donations permitted. Funeral agencies cannot include Church fees in their price lists or dictate religious arrangements. Delpini also calls for limiting lengthy farewell speeches, preferably holding them after the liturgy. Catholic funerals cannot take place in private farewell rooms. While cremation is permitted, Delpini reiterates the Church’s prohibition on keeping ashes at home and proposes designated spaces for urns inside churches.
Ziarah Summorum Pontificum telah diusir dari tempat konferensi yang semula akan digunakan tahun depan. Augustinianum, sebuah tempat konferensi yang dikelola oleh Ordo Agustinian di dekat Basilika Santo Petrus, dilaporkan tidak akan lagi tersedia bagi ziarah Summorum Pontificum mulai tahun 2027. Luigi Casalini dari MessaInLatino.it mengungkapkan hal ini dalam sebuah wawancara dengan @Fede & Cultura, mengutip informasi dari penyelenggara utama ziarah tersebut. Tekanan Vatikan terhadap kepolisian Italia? Casalini juga mengatakan bahwa ia telah diberi tahu bahwa Vatikan menghubungi kepolisian Italia untuk menanyakan apakah prosesi tersebut telah memiliki semua izin dan otorisasi yang diperlukan.
Luigi Casalini di Messa in Latino: "Non voglio credere, non voglio credere alle notizie che la Questura ha ricevuto una telefonata vaticana che ha chiesto se avevamo tutti i bolli e controbolli per la processione in territorio italiano. Non voglio crederlo, eh, come invece mi è stato detto. Non voglio credere, perché non c'è bisogno di credere a una cosa che ormai è... Come non voglio credere che è stato detto... Noi il convegno lo facciamo all'Augustinianum, che è un centro congressi prestigioso di fianco al Vaticano, di proprietà degli Agostiniani, che hanno la fortuna anche di avere il Papa oggi. E non voglio credere che ci è stato comunicato il venerdì pomeriggio che dal prossimo anno l'Augustinianum non ce lo danno più. Ma non voglio crederlo, non voglio, anche se me l'ha detto l'organizzatore primo, ma comunque non voglio crederlo."

A historic verdict in Poland. For the first time, a Catholic bishop has been convicted for failing to report clerical homosexual abuse. Bishop Andrzej Jeż has announced that he will appeal the verdict. Today, October 29, a court in Tarnów convicted Bishop Jeż, 63, of failing to promptly report allegations of child homosexual abuse involving two priests in his diocese. It is the first conviction of a serving Catholic bishop in Poland for such an offense. The court sentenced Bishop Jeż to two years of restricted liberty, requiring him to surrender 25% of his monthly salary to a foundation supporting abused children. He must also pay 20,000 złoty into a victims' assistance fund. The case concerns allegations against two priests, Stanisław P. and Tomasz K. One priest was implicated in the abuse of at least 95 boys between 1987 and 2008. Church authorities had investigated allegations against Stanisław P. in the 2000s and dismissed him from the clergy in 2013. In July 2017, Poland introduced …Lebih
Bishop Barron rebukes Cardinal Vesco. In an October 28 post on X.com, Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, attacked the Archbishop Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers. He had claimed that “the Church is not there to convert” and that Christians should approach other religions “through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.” “Excuse me, but…what?” Barron responded. Citing Christ’s command to “make disciples of all nations,” the American bishop added: “Sure sounds like conversion to me.” Bishop Barron then invoked St. Paul, who preached in Corinth, Athens and Thessalonica. His purpose, Barron argued, “was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message”: that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. He also criticized what he sees as a wider problem within the Church hierarchy, opening his post with the remark: “Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization.” Monsignor Barron stressed that abandoning …Lebih
Putusan bersejarah di Polandia. Untuk pertama kalinya, seorang uskup Katolik divonis bersalah karena tidak melaporkan kasus pelecehan seksual terhadap anak oleh para imam. Uskup Andrzej Jeż telah mengumumkan bahwa ia akan mengajukan banding atas putusan tersebut. Hari ini, 29 Oktober, sebuah pengadilan di Tarnów menjatuhkan vonis bersalah kepada Uskup Jeż, 63 tahun, karena gagal segera melaporkan tuduhan pelecehan seksual terhadap anak yang melibatkan dua imam di keuskupannya. Ini merupakan vonis bersalah pertama terhadap seorang uskup Katolik yang masih menjabat di Polandia atas pelanggaran semacam ini. Pengadilan menjatuhkan hukuman dua tahun pembatasan kebebasan kepada Uskup Jeż, yang mewajibkannya menyerahkan 25% dari gaji bulanan kepada sebuah yayasan yang mendukung anak-anak korban pelecehan. Ia juga harus membayar 20.000 złoty ke dalam dana bantuan korban. Kasus ini berkaitan dengan tuduhan terhadap dua imam, Stanisław P. dan Tomasz K. Salah satu imam tersebut terlibat dalam …Lebih
Uskup Marian Eleganti: “Vatikan Tampil Buruk”. Uskup Swiss yang telah pensiun, Marian Eleganti, mengecam penolakan masuknya umat Katolik ke Basilika Santo Petrus pada tanggal 24 Oktober: “Larangan tahun ini terhadap akses ke Basilika Santo Petrus bagi para peziarah yang memegang teguh tradisi dalam rangka ‘Ad Petri Sedem’ hampir mendekati sikap permusuhan terhadap umat Katolik yang setia kepada Paus dan ortodoks dalam iman mereka. Hal ini sama sekali tidak berkaitan dengan kepedulian terhadap persatuan dalam Gereja atau dengan kesulitan operasional dalam menyelenggarakan perayaan liturgi di Basilika Santo Petrus.” “Hipokrisasi sinodal (inklusivitas) dengan demikian telah memperlihatkan jati dirinya yang sebenarnya.” Uskup Eleganti mencatat bahwa para peziarah “Ad Petri Sedem” bukanlah Persaudaraan Imam Santo Pius X (FSSPX): “Kami telah mengetahuinya sejak lama: Orang-orang tertentu hanya bersikap inklusif selama hal itu mendukung tujuan mereka sendiri. Mereka tanpa ampun dan dengan …Lebih
