A 1969 letter from a Papal envoy to Vladika Danilo of Montenegro and the Littoral, with an offer of rewards for the removal of Njegoš's chapel and remains and replacing them with a big mausoleum which would house the remains of a Montenegrin woman (who would be canonised).

Catholic 'media ministry' defrocks AWOL AI priest after it told faithful you can baptise babies in Gatorade and that, sure, it can totally perform your wedding
Sometimes when we walk, we pass by this statue of Jesus at the Queen of Angels Church right off Welles Park in Lincoln Square. We often call him Bangra Jesus. Put on some Bangra music and look at the photo - ROFL

'A book just published by the French conservative Catholic Jean-Pierre Moreau portrays Jorge Bergoglio as a liberal iconoclast inspired by quasi-Marxist liberation theology. I think that’s wrong, and he is what he’s always been: a Peronist. Like Juan Perón, the populist President of Argentina during his childhood, he is more interested in power than in ideas. My Vatican source talks of Francis’s “powerful charm, his way of making you think you’re the only person who matters”.'
That was a quote from #DamianThompson, in #unHerd . He claims that the media, believing Pope Francis to be essentially a reformer, gave little attention to stories that didn't fit their chosen narrative.
"The criminal investigation into child sexual abuse in New Orleans’ Roman Catholic archdiocese has entered a major new phase, after a judge ordered the church to turn over records to Louisiana state police showing how it responded to abuse allegations over the last several decades."
#RobSchneider, whose claim to fame is a single, mediocre skit on #SNL, is a newly-converted #Catholic, so naturally he's an unmatched expert in #Christianity whose authority is beyond reproach. It makes perfect that this objectively unfunny slug would want to make a documentary about the well-known hoax, the Shroud of Turin, to celebrate his new expertise! What bravery! 🤣

Russia's war on evangelical Christians, stunning reporting from Peter Pomerantsev
"By hurting those who practice an “American” religion," he writes, "the Kremlin can claim it is striking against American power—while picking on the powerless."
It’s important to give this situation more attention. #Russia is systematically terrorizing, persecuting, torturing, and murdering any cleric, congregation, or individual who belongs to a #Christian church not under the Moscow Patriarchate.
