It was small church in a blind alley. Virginia Loda who organises the annual March for Life was among the few people who would attend. He had written an article for an SSPX publication. He told me again to remove my computer, which my sister had sent me, and which I had stored at the HLI office in Rome since I had no place of my own. He was not going to defend what I had written even though it was the teaching of the Church and he was in agreement with it.
He did not want me to quote him. I find myself still - as the only person writing on what I have been writing. At about that time time I was told not to enter the premises of the Regina Apostolorum University Rome because of the same pamphlet which affirms an unpopular subject. No Legion of Christ priest whom I knew would want to be quoted. No one is going to come out in the open and affirm it. No priest is going to say at the pulpit or in writing that outside the Church there is no salvation and this is the official teaching of Vatican Council II without the strange and made premise.
Today morning at Mass the priest prayed for the pope and he prayed for all priests and he prayed for evangelisation. And I pray for him and all priests here that they may have the courage to proclaim the hard teachings of the Catholic Faith - inspite, of everything.

Tre ragazzini, due di 15 anni e uno di 16, hanno raccontato ieri in aula, di fronte ai giudici, gli abusi sessuali subiti fino a qualche anno fa dall'ex sacerdote Giovanni Trotta, 56enne che all'epoca dei fatti era allenatore di quei giovani in una squadra di calcio giovanile della provincia di Foggia. I tre minorenni sono stati chiamati a testimoniare sugli abusi subiti. Replicando alle domande dei pubblici ministeri baresi, competenti su Foggia per il reato di pedopornografia, che hanno coordinato le indagini, Simona Filoni e Domenico Minardi, i tre hanno confermato ogni particolare, dalle foto nudi scattate a casa del sacerdote agli atti sessuali a quali erano sottoposti, mimando gesti e raccontando episodi.
Stephen Jackson, 72, was fired from Tendring technology college in September after police were alerted to catalogue of historical allegations in California A teacher who has faced multiple allegations of child sexual abuse in the US and confessed to molesting schoolboys has been uncovered working in a secondary school in Essex, the Guardian can reveal.
Stephen Jackson, 72, taught English to to year-olds at Tendring technology college this term despite previously confessing to police in California that he engaged in sexual acts with children. It has also emerged that he previously worked for two years at a school in south London without being discovered. Jackson joined the staff of the 2,pupil Tendring college, in Frinton-on-Sea, in June this year. The science is in: Men who engage in sexual misconduct really can help themselves. Despite the excuses you might hear from leaders in the political, entertainment and media worlds who are accused of sexually harassing women and some men — a list that seems to grow daily — advances in brain imaging have recently revealed that these kinds of behaviors are simply not addictive in the same way drugs or alcohol might be.
When that behavior starts lighting up the part of the brain connected to need instead of pleasure. The science is something to keep in mind in the MeToo era, as more and more women have the courage to speak up about their experiences with rampant harassment and misconduct -- and the cultural stigma begins shifting from the victims to the alleged instigators.
President Trump has also been accused of sexual misconduct by 13 women. Posted on November 30, Something caught his attention on one of the big screens: It seems to be our lot in life. The words struck a nerve in the boy, who had endured more suffering than any child should ever have to face—almost five straight years of unspeakable physical and sexual abuse by the teachers, nuns, and priests at his Catholic elementary school. Later, another line hit him just as hard: It gave me hope that this small group of misfits could win against an organization like the Empire.
The preteen Harrison figured that if he could just use the Force, he would be able to protect himself. Harrison would follow that dream into adulthood, becoming as close to a modern-day Jedi as might be possible on 21st-century Earth. In his youth, he began studying martial arts. He would become a fight director, working for companies like Vancouver Opera and Bard on the Beach, as well as an actor and a stuntman. And now, at the encouragement of some of his theatre colleagues, finally into a one-man show—How Star Wars Saved My Life.
A father of two, and a teacher with his PhD, Harrison has put his world strongly back together, but when he talks about the secrets he carried with him in childhood, the raw emotion is, understandably, still near the surface. Posted on November 29, 5: For evangelicals, sin is redeemable — but can that allow sex offenders to dodge their actions? Onetime Alabama Senate frontrunner and longtime Christian theocrat Roy Moore has managed to hold onto his evangelical base, despite being embroiled in allegations of sexual misconduct with at least eight teenage girls when he was in his 30s.
Several major evangelical figures, including Jerry Falwell Jr. Evangelical support for Moore is based on a variety of factors. There are those who believe the good Moore can do in office — like working to ban abortion — outweigh the bad in his personal life. When it comes to the allegations against Moore, this narrative has been pervasive among evangelical supporters.
In line with the aforementioned Fox News poll, Dottie Finch, a Moore supporter interviewed by CNN shortly after the allegations came out, took this view: There has been a new call for an independent inquiry into historical abuse on Caldey Island to be launched. Eleven women claimed they were abused by Father Thaddeus Kotik when they were children. He died in Welsh Conservatives children's spokesman, Darren Millar, said the Welsh Government should instigate an investigation.
But he was told during Wednesday's plenary in the Senedd that a police investigation was under way. A support group has also called for an inquiry. It comes after allegations of abuse against Kotik were made to the Pembrokeshire island's abbey in , but were not passed on to police. Officers were told about the abuse in and , but could not prosecute as the monk had died. Several former pupils at a prestigious Catholic boarding school in North Yorkshire have told an inquiry that they were not protected from sexual abuse at the hands of priests and teachers. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has heard there were 40 alleged perpetrators of abuse at Ampleforth College near Thirsk between and The victim said he was physically inappropriate with her in front of other staff and it was widely known they spent a great deal of time alone together during many evenings, but nothing was done.
A six-year-old boy died 10 days after he was beaten by a nun at an orphanage, a child abuse inquiry has heard. A witness, who cannot be named, told the inquiry his friend was kicked on the body and head by the Catholic sister. He was giving evidence at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry which began a new phase of hearings in Edinburgh on Tuesday. It is hearing evidence about institutions run by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, which has issued an apology to anyone abused in their care. The man said he was sexually abused by a nun and another member of staff and beaten for bedwetting and not eating his food at Smyllum Park orphanage in Lanark, Lanarkshire.

November 29, A head teacher of a Catholic boarding school invited a young pupil into his study and then sexually abused him, the inquiry into child abuse has heard. The hearing heard the boy was told to pretend to go to bed in his dorm at Ampleforth College, in North Yorkshire, and then to get up and go to his study.
The Church is one of 13 public organisations being scrutinised by the public inquiry, which is being headed by Prof Alexis Jay. The third day of hearings into allegations involving the Church examined abuse at Ampleforth College, a private school run by Benedictine monks. Therapy for sexual misconduct? The recent surge in accusations of sexual harassment and assault has prompted some admitted offenders to seek professional help for the emotional or personality distortions that underlie their behavior.
Whatever mix of damage control and contrition they represent, pledges like these suggest that there are standard treatments for perpetrators of sexual offenses. In fact, no such standard treatments exist, experts say. The evidence that talk therapy and medication can curb sexual misconduct is modest at best, and virtually all of it comes from treating severe disorders, like pedophilia and exhibitionism, experts said — powerful urges that cannot be turned off. Still, there is reason to think that these therapeutic approaches can be adapted to treatment of the men accused of offenses ranging from unwanted attention to rape.
The other is reserved for people committing nonconsensual acts — sex offenders. Posted on November 29, 1: A new social media hashtag is aiming to bring attention to sexual assault in religious communities. People are speaking out about their experiences, but an area church is working to prevent these incidents before they even happen. Twitter is at it again. Except this time, users are hoping to raise awareness on what they call, a hidden crime.

But at Bethel Church in Fargo, staff members work hard to ensure no incidents like these happen. For the staff, we have training on how to recognize abuse and not put themselves in a situation where that might happen," says Siefers.

Carol only remembered this years later, in her 20s, while working with a therapist who specialized in childhood trauma. She gradually came to realize that she had been abused since she was a very young child. Her father justified sexual abuse by using an example from the Bible. Now, at age 56, Carol not her real name has watched her Facebook feed fill up with messages of women saying metoo. She thought these very small words held huge stories.
But I have this voice. Telling the truth about sexual abuse is hard for anyone, but it has particular challenges in the conservative, Mormon community of Utah where Carol was raised for most of her life and where she now lives. Carol, who identifies as a Mormon feminist, sees a parallel with powerful men in Hollywood and those in the Mormon church.

Yesterday, police said they were aware of allegations circulating on social media about a former clergy member at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship. However, they said no formal complaints had been received, meaning it is not possible for them to launch an investigation.

Posted on November 28, 4: And it is far beyond Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein, though he seemed to open the floodgates. The latest, Congressman John Conyers, is a member of the Democratic Party who chose to step down from his seat on the House Judiciary Committee after being accused of sexually harassing a female member of his staff several years ago.
When it comes to the mistreatment of women, men on both sides of the aisle are to blame. Women are trying to speak out against these abuses, but certain politicians seem eager to make this about party allegiance instead of victim protection. Many remember that after Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore was recently accused of child sexual assault, some even most Republicans were quick to condemn his alleged behavior. For that I am thankful. President Trump recently came to his defense, repeatedly arguing to reporters that Moore was denying all the accusations.
And it appears that many voters may be swayed by this argument that the most important issue in play is holding onto majority control. Anglican pastors' wives are breaking their silence on spousal abuse and have started to open up about their bad experiences with their clergy husbands with the help of a private online support group in New South Wales. Some of the women who experienced spousal abuse at the hands of their priest husbands were part of the Moore Theological College in Sydney. When they opened up about their problem, they said several members of the clergy gave them support while others turned a blind eye on their plight, Patheos noted in a blog entry.
In addition, the blog pointed to the Anglican Church's extreme interpretation of Ephesians 5: However, the part that came after - which tells husbands to love their wives - was often left out. Just last week, ABC reported that the hashtag ChurchToo proliferated on social media after poet Emily Joy and religious trauma researcher Hannah Paasch started it to give abused women an avenue where they could share their experiences.
The trend was sparked by the series of revelations of sexual abuse in Hollywood and in Washington. Using the said hashtag, one woman shared on Twitter that her mother was one of the women who experienced spousal abuse and yet their pastor only gave them a green prayer cloth to be inserted in their husbands' pillows as a way to solve domestic violence. Another victim said she left a fundamental church after she was advised to stay in her abusive marriage.
Paasch told ABC News that she hoped the ChurchToo trend they started would cause a "cultural and theological upheaval. Systems often struggle to recognize misdeeds of the powerful Our human relationships function within complex webs of power and dependency grounded in trust.
When I am sick, I go to my doctor. I trust the power of his training and expertise. I also trust that he intends to serve my best interest to guard my health. In that regard, I am dependent upon him. When my doctor has a spiritual anxiety or perplexity, he reaches out to me. I am his priest. He trusts me and my training and the symbolic power of ordination that I carry.
He trusts that I intentionally serve his best interests to guard his spiritual well-being. In that sense, he is dependent upon me. All of us entrust other people with power. We have a right to expect them to exercise that power for good. We are dependent upon them to do so. We willingly make ourselves vulnerable to their power. Think of all the people whom we trust and the critical roles they fill in our lives: The list is long.
Every part of society is interconnected by relationships of trust between those with particular power and authority and those who depend upon the faithful exercise of their trust. When people who are in positions of power and trust abuse their positions and victimize the vulnerable, they damage the whole fabric of society. Without trust and trustworthiness, community unravels. The list keeps growing of powerful men accused of sexual abuse, assault, or harassment.
In historical order, just to name the headliners, Bill Clinton, Fr.

Across the US, people go to Massage Envy spas in search of a soothing, affordable escape. More than people say what they got instead was sexual assault. A BuzzFeed News investigation. It was her seventh session with James Deiter, a massage therapist whom the spa had enthusiastically recommended. By now, Ingram trusted Deiter, and she closed her eyes and relaxed as he worked her muscles. He groped her breasts. He put his fingers in and out of her vagina. Ingram lay there, frozen in fear and disbelief, until the session was over.
After driving home sobbing, she called the spa to report the sexual assault. Frustrated, Ingram called the police, who interviewed Deiter that afternoon. He quickly admitted to assaulting not just Ingram but other Massage Envy clients as well. The next year, Deiter pleaded guilty to sexually molesting a total of nine women while working at Massage Envy from fall to spring LOUIS — A support group for victims of clergy abuse has apologized to a Roman Catholic priest who sued after child molestation charges against him were dropped and jurors in a separate lawsuit concerning the allegations sided with the China-born priest.
The Archdiocese of St. The group added that it apologized for "any false or inaccurate statements" related to the accusations against the Rev. Xiu Hui "Joseph" Jiang that "in any way disparaged" him, the archbishop and other archdiocese officials. SNAP publicized accusations against Jiang after he was criminally charged in on accusations that he molested a year-old eastern Missouri girl under a blanket. In an unrelated case two years later, he was charged in St. Louis on allegations that he abused a year-old boy in a bathroom at the Cathedral Basilica elementary school. Charges in both cases were dropped without explanation.
The female accuser sued Jiang, but jurors sided with the priest in April. SNAP was accused of defamation, while police were accused of botching the investigation. Court records show the case was dismissed on Nov. By Mary Rezac Lawyers in the United Kingdom have recommended that mandatory reporting laws apply to priests in the confessional, in order to curb incidents of child sexual abuse. The recommendation came during an investigation of Benedictine abbeys and their associated schools, after numerous victims came forward alleging clergy at the schools had committed acts of child sexual abuse.
Richard Scorer, a representative with the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse IICSA , said during a hearing that mandatory reporting laws should apply even to information bound by the seal of confession.

However, Archbishop Wilson's barrister Stephen Odgers today said his client was keen to have his day in court. NEW DELHI — Catholic dioceses and religious congregations in India are in the process of implementing a set of guidelines that the bishops' conference required when it released its sexual harassment policy for the workplace two months ago. A day checkpoint for setting up diocesan and congregation committees as the first stop for sexual harassment complaints passed on Nov. Though the page document, which took two years to prepare, steers clear of mentioning priests, those demanding action against clergy abuse still find it a welcome step by the Indian church.
In addition to asking for a response by the end of June, the memo set four other conditions for a move toward full reconciliation:. Castrillon was apparently pleased with the letter. But I have responded and it has to be seen how Rome will react," he said. Bishop Fellay said, "It is possible that now there will be a little more coldness" in the discussions with the Vatican, but the society wants to continue its dialogue with the rest of the church.
Does it mean that the SSPX leadership will now begin to speak with less "warmth"? That is, with less harsh rhetoric? Some people take passion and criticism to be sincerity. Others see dispassionate and careful dialogue as being "cold". Hard to say what he meant. Our greatest desire is to be fully accepted ," he said.
We have a relationship with Rome that is unfolding with a certain rhythm, which, it is true, is slow. But it also is true that the cardinal Castrillon and the Holy Father would like to see an accelerated rhythm. Last year, Pope Benedict widened the possibility for use of the Tridentine rite, ["Tridentine"] the form of Mass used before the Second Vatican Council. That was a long-standing request of the society. It also has to do with both his desire for true reform in the Church. But Bishop Fellay has continued to criticize [This is unclear: Since Summorum Pontificum or since the Conditions, which ask for a more positive tone?
Also, there is nothing in the conditions that required the SSPX leadership not to criticize elements of Vatican II which Papa Ratzinger has done himself, extensively and sharply, in the past. In April Bishop Fellay said the time was not right for reconciliation with the Vatican, because church leaders have not taken steps to reverse the "crisis" introduced by Vatican II. I think steps have indeed been taken. One source said the new Vatican offer signaled that the Vatican was not willing to continue dialogue with the traditionalist society indefinitely.
I suggested that myself at the beginning. I also think that it is more likely that this is a matter of taking advantage of the intersection of circumstances. First, it was twenty years precisely since the illicit consecrations by Lefebvre. Second, the people in leadership positions on both sides are the most positive toward unity we have seen in the interval. Third, no one is getting younger: The society broke with the Vatican in when its founder, the late French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, ordained four bishops against papal instructions; Bishop Fellay was one of those ordained.
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, explained to French television July 2 that, while the four bishops were excommunicated, the priests of the society are validly ordained [but suspended] and the laity who attend their Masses are considered Catholics. The following prayer was composed by John Carroll, Archbishop of Baltimore, in He was made the first archbishop when his see of Baltimore was elevated to the status of an archdiocese.
Americans among the readership might print it and bring it to your parish priests and ask them to use it after Mass on national holidays. Who through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue with unchanging faith in the confession of Thy Name.
We pray Thee, who alone art good and holy, to endow with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life, our chief bishop, Pope N. We pray Thee O God of might, wisdom, and justice!

To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and everlasting peace, through the same Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Praise ye him, O sun and moon: Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: This is in from Space Weather! Saturn, Mars and a slender crescent Moon are gathering together for a pretty sunset sky show over the 4th of July weekend.
On the 4th of July, you will be farther from the sun than at any other time of the year. Astronomers call this "aphelion. This provides scant relief from northern summer heat, however. Still, this is pretty interesting stuff! This is from the St. As a result of his judgment of the case, Archbishop Burke has also imposed the following canonical penalties upon Sister Louise Lears: Interdict prohibits the reception of the Sacraments. The prohibition of receiving any mission prohibits the holding of any Church position or the exercise of any apostolate of the Church in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis.
The penalties are imposed for the purpose of bringing Sister Louise Lears to repentance for the delicts which she has committed and to reconciliation with the Catholic Church. Archbishop Burke expressed his sadness in imposing the canonical penalties which were necessitated by the refusal of Sister Louise Lears, even after repeated admonitions, to withdraw her statements and repudiate her conduct which have constituted grave delicts in the Church.
The Archbishop asks all of the faithful of the Archdiocese to pray for the reconciliation of Sister Louise Lears with the Church. Get a load of this, a breaking story from the ultra-liberal National Catholic Reporter with my emphases and comments:. For crying out loud! They call her a bright, energetic, compassionate and faith-filled woman.
They see her as a creative, generous and selfless person, a highly effective parish minister. They say she is first rate teacher and preacher. They view her as a person guided by the gospels including an unwavering commitment to justice and the local poor. These seemingly universal accolades, however, were not enough to save Lears from a severe interdict by Burke who banished her from all Saint Louis church ministries last week.
Lears was shocked twice last week. But the other side of this is that when he imposes a censure, he probably knows what he is doing. Louis, and a coordinator of religious education in the archdiocese. I would never give scandal to the People of God. She would never give scandal? Is there that much war and torture going in in St. She is also an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Theological Studies at Saint Louis University specializing in medical ethics and spirituality nonviolence. Mark Chmiel, also an adjunct professor in the department, had this to say about his colleague:.
I have seen how much thoughtful attention and encouragement she gives to her students at Saint Louis University in her popular course, Spirituality of Nonviolence. She also participated in our direct-action efforts to raise awareness and provoke responsible action about the U. In such wise, wherever she is, she continually nurtures a community of conscience as naturally as she breathes. Nonviolence is a true way of life and I learned if from Sr. She taught me how to be a more loving and peaceful Christian, and I am so happy that I was able to learn from her.
NCR contacted a number of her other colleagues who spoke with a mixture of outrage and mourning, anger at what they called the injustice of the action taken against Lears and sadness as they pondered the loss of her talents to the archdiocese. Sister of Saint Joseph of Carondelet Jean Abbott recalled the time Lears arrived to help her set up a center to receive victims of torture coming from Guatemala. Abbott had found an old tavern, but it was Lears who imagined how it could be transformed into a vibrant center and set the wheels in motion.
She brought the place to life.
The Saint Cronan parish council last week seemed equally vexed and saddened. It saddens us deeply that she has been singled-out for prosecution in a church court. Jerry King, a member of the parish and member of the Center for Theology and Social Analysis in Saint Louis, an organization he and Lears belong to, found irony in the Burke censure. King and others now worry the disaffected are now going to drop out altogether. Ellen Rehg, another member of the parish, disagrees. Especially interesting is the actual decree of Extra-Judicial Adjudication. Try reading it aloud.
For the sake of those of us lay women living out our vocations in part by the education of our children … would you please consider posting your articles on "What Does the Prayer Really Say"—with their translations of prayers from the Extraordinary Form— somewhat earlier? But to be useful as part of Mass preparation and as adjuncts to Latin lessons, we would have to have access to them a day, or even two, earlier than they are customarily posted on your blog. But the blog grew into the monster that it is! Still, I go through streaks of posting my WDTPRS pieces on this blog even close before the upcoming Sunday especially to encourage your interest in subscribing to The Wanderer , for which I write those columns… for 8 years now.
The Wanderer could use some subscribers, btw. With the way the US postal service has recently gouged small publications, and I mean gouged , you could be of real help. Check out the website. You can even subscribe to a full online edition, useful if you want your issue fast. Here is what the page with my column looks like, in the issue just published and going into the post today:. You can look at individual articles on the screen, in text or in graphic form, and you can print them or e-mail them!
I was tipped to this via e-mai. However the dream was short-lived because [… he means business and this is not about being dreamy? THAT is the point. Williamson is held up. A few days previously, Bishop Fellay had met with Cardinal Hoyos in Rome, at which occasion the bishop received an ultimatum — the end of June — to accept five conditions or to face renewed condemnation and charges of schism. Perhaps this is what some SSPXers were putting around? Is this a case of the "telephone" game? And this is impossible Non possumus we cannot.
This item by Ignazio Ingrao was previewed on Dagospia. This very much concerns important work we did with WDTPRS a few years back, namely examination of the infamous pro multis question, and the proper translation of sacramental forms. The present official translation of pro multis in the formula of consecration of the most Precious Blood, in English is wrong.
For years a debate raged, a war, about the translation of pro multis in various languages. To make long story of sweat and intrigue short, eventually Francis Card. Arinze told all the bishops in the world that His Holiness wanted pro multis to be translation correctly, in some form like "for many, for the many" and so forth. There is no appeal. The Holy Father reserves to himself the approval of translations of sacramental forms AAS 66 — a circular letter dated 25 October Remember that all the sacraments have both matter and form, the form being the words spoken in the conferring or confecting of the sacrament.
I am sure it has been very difficult to secure some agreement on the best way to do this in English as well as all the other languages through the whole world that need to be adjusted. Now we read this very significant bit my emphases and comments:. Benedict changes the Mass again — a study of the new liturgy entrusted to the Congregation for Divine Worship. The Rite of Mass could change. According to some leaks, Benedict XVI has give the Congregation for Divine Worship the task of studying some modifications in the liturgy. In particular, it is said the Pope intends to reinstate the Latin for the formula of the Eucharistic consecration in Mass in the vernacular , i.
In addition the sign of peace among the faithful during Mass, which today takes place before the distribution of the Eucharist, could be moved forward as in the Ambrosian rite to the offertory in order so as not to disturb the recollection before Communion. But honestly, this leaves me a little troubled. I would rather have it moved to before the Offertory if it is going to remain a group grope. But I would much rather leave it in its traditional place and then do it right , which might mean not inviting the congregation to do anything. Since the invitation to the Sign of Peace is an option left to the priest, I opt not to make the invitation.
These modifications would be joined to the changes to the liturgy and sacred vestments which the Pope, together with his Master of Ceremonies, Msgr. Guido Marini, has accomplished in these last few months, in order to recover ancient traditions: Worse than saying "for many" certainly must be to have to say it in… in… gulp … that other language!
Seriously , I think if this is all true, and it really sounds like this could be a possibility, the problems of rendering certain things into the vernacular are simply not worth the risk of loss of content. If this is so for the consecration, admittedly the most important part of the Eucharistic Prayer, there are lots of other important things being said in Holy Mass too!
Why not have those in Latin too? If some liturgists and theologians like to argue that the whole Eucharistic Prayer is consecratory, and not just the "magic words" in the "institution narrative", then perhaps we had better do the whole Prayer in Latin. And since the Preface is now considered part of the Eucharististic Prayer, and since the people speak part of that dialogue, should pastors of souls start teaching their people Latin responses that pertain to them? Yes… I believe I read that somewhere. It can be useful … in some occasions … for some parts of Mass, perhaps with children in the liturgy of the word or for catechumens.
Yesterday there was officially announced the birth of a committee composed of politicians bipartisan , men of culture [Read: Papa Pacelli was in fact a modern Pope, his magisterium set the stage for the Second Vatican Council it is enough to consider the Encyclical Divino afflante Spiritu which opened the way to the use of the historical-critical method for the study of Sacred Scripture, or the Encyclical Mediator Dei on liturgy: The Committee, in view of the 50th anniversary of his death, next October, aims to foster an in-depth examination of the figure of Pius XII according to the hermeneutic of reform and not of rupture , which Benedict XVI said is the correct key for interpreting and reading Vatican II.
I am among those who have signed and I invite the visitors of the blog to support this. You will find the constitutive text of the Committee as a first comment on this thread. To support this, it is enough to send an e-mail with your proper name not nickname! On arriving he was greeted, as you might expect, by crowds.
I had posted images from the Mass of the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, and the text of the sermons , in Italian.
