Gloria.TV News on the 24th of October.

The pope has capitulated: The anti-Church detractors of Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst of Limburg, Germany, won an important battle. On Wednesday, Pope Francis imposed a leave of absence on the embattled bishop who has to abandon his diocese. It is unlikely that he will come back again. The Pope’s message to the media is clear: Slander is an effective means to overthrow a bishop. The remaining orthodox bishops in Europe will now have sleepless nights.

Subterfuge: The German news-page katholisches.info has commented on the toppling of bishop Tebartz-van Elst in this way: The money question that was put in the foreground with smug epithets like "luxury-bishop" seems only to have been a subterfuge. The question of money is not the isolated problem of a person, supposedly of the Bishop of Limburg, but rather of the German Church as a whole. The grave that the German church is shoveling for herself and for the faith is worth 6 billion Euros a year. But, regarding the church-tax, the so clairaudient critics of bishop Tebartz van Elst turn suddenly deaf – as deaf as they turned when Pope Benedict XVI. asked the German Church to detach itself from the world in order to clear the way for a new evangelization of Germany.

What's next? It is very likely that John Paul II will also be named in the near future a doctor of the Church according to prelate Slawomir Oder, the postulator of the canonization process of John Paul II in an interview with the Polish catholic newspaper “Nasz Dziennik”. According to Oder, the teaching of the Pope is of epochal importance and a source of enrichment for the faithful. His pontificate, his testimony and his teaching have changed the life of the Church and of generations of Catholics, stated Father Oder. He did not say on whether this change was for the better or for the worse.

A sacrifice: 81-year-old Redemptorist Father Pablo Straub died on Oct. 21 in a hospital in Cancun, Mexico. Father regularly appeared on EWTN television and EWTN Radio often holding a large crucifix. Father Straub founded two religious congregations and was a big fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers Major League Baseball team. But, he had ‘given up’ watching the World Series as a sacrifice. For others, it would have been a sacrifice to watch them.

Tłumaczenie akapitu o Janie Pawle II

Co jeszcze? Według prałata Sławomira Odera, postulatora procesu kanonizacyjnego Jana Pawła II w wywiadzie dla polskiej gazety katolickiej "Nasz Dziennik", jest bardzo prawdopodobne, że Jan Paweł II zostanie również wymieniony w niedalekiej przyszłości jako doktor Kościoła. Według Odera, nauczanie papieża ma epokowe znaczenie i jest źródłem ubogacenia dla wiernych. Jego pontyfikat, jego świadectwa i jego nauczanie zmieniło życie Kościoła i pokoleń katolików, stwierdził o. Oder. Nie powiedział, czy ta zmiana była na lepsze czy na gorsze.

are you sure that you are thinking? why?

It seems that the media has done us a favor with Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst. Is there more to this story??
I don't think he is someone we should be defending.

Hey, great, Gloria.tv has discovered a "funny bone" in its reporting. Keep it up, I enjoy it. However, humor is not always a sign of good times, rather an ironizing means of protecting oneself by make a joke and reveal that joke is, say in this case, the pope himself. Heartfelt graditude for your reporting -- and that is no joke.

At this point I think the Church needs to see the doctor.
