Flop? The opening of the Holy Year of Mercy could turn into a flop after the terrorist attacks in Paris have scared away pilgrims and tourists. The bookings in Roman bed & breakfast are 50% of what they were last December. The bookings in the hotels are down by 20%. There have been many cancellations.
Legal Troubles: Flamboyant Francesca Immacolata Chaouqui and her husband as well as six others are investigated by Roman prosecutors regarding alleged hacking in order to pressure exponents of politics and business in Italy. The case is not related to Vatileaks II for which Chaouqui is standing trial in the Vatican.
Christian Refugees: Slovakia is set to welcome 149 Christian refugees fleeing the Islamic State in Iraq. At least 25 families will arrive in the country soon. They will take shelter in a center in eastern Slovakia. The Catholic Church has agreed to help integrate the new members into the predominantly Catholic country.

@franciscaa: Praying is dangerous because true prayer will cause a revolution in the Church and a true renewal.

@rhemes1582: You are absolutely right. The Romans give me the impression that they are tired of religion and, in their old days, are looking for something else to keep them off the roads.

Imagine a Pilgrim going to Rome for the FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, to pray, contemplate, and honor the Mother Of God at the Most Holy symbols of the Bride of Christ (St. Peter`s Basilica ) and being subjected to a Commercial light show across the Church? Worse yet being promoted by those that endorse Naturalism, The very thing the Queen of Heaven Defeats.
This is Horrifying to me! …More

Oh Holy Mary Ever Virgin and Conceived Without sin; Pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Blessed Pope Pius IX: Pray for us

@Humilitatis: unfortunately what you say corresponds pretty well to reality. Perhaps we should have a Roman Synod to address the real problems?

No need to follow the commandments, no need to evangelize. No need to baptize the children or marry in the church or even be Catholuc to receive OurLord in the most Blessed Sacrament. Maybe for this year of mercy, they feel their money's might be better spent on a total make over and a gym menbership. After all," God understands." They can pray the chaplet on the treadmill.

In the old days the pilgrims came to Rome because they took the salvation of their souls very serious. Today this is hardly the case (not even among priests and bishops). So why should they go in December to Rome?
