Fake Scandal in the Vatican.
Fake Scandal in the Vatican: The Italian fake news journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi has reported alleged abuses on altar-boys of Saint Peter's to the Vatican prosecutor. Nuzzi refers to Kamil Jarzembowski, a former Polish pupil of the pre-seminary Saint Pius X, who according to Nuzzi was a witness to some immoral actions which supposedly happened among seminarians. Nuzzi’s scoop looks like a publicity stunt for his new book. Nuzzi has been sentenced in the past for slander.
No Smoking: Pope Francis has decided to forbid the sale of cigarettes in the Vatican. The rabidly pro-Francis FarodiRoma calls this a “courageous decision” although it is hardly imaginable that Francis will be criticized for this decision by anybody. The Vatican sells cigarettes cheaper than in Italy. Saint Pope John XXIII was a smoker.

Temperance I think you should be careful not to confuse 'masculine' and 'male'. God as God is infinite, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, pure spirit but even those terms cannot really grasp God. "What God is we do not know" (St. Gregory of Nyssa). They are our terms that depend on how God has chosen to reveal 'Himself' to us through 'His' prophets and above all through 'His' Son.

Temperance I think you should be careful not to confuse 'masculine' and 'male'. God as God is infinite, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, pure spirit but even those terms cannot really grasp God. "What God is we do not know" (St. Gregory of Nyssa). They are our terms that depend on how God has chosen to reveal 'Himself' to us through 'His' prophets and above all through 'His' Son. Absolutely applying terms like 'masculine' to God is theologically 'dodgy'. Referring to God as 'He' is traditional and honorific, part of our way of approaching 'Him' but God is not male. Indeed only the Son became Incarnate and His human nature is male. Some have argued that since 'Spirit' (Pneuma) in Greek is 'feminine' then the Holy Spirit must be 'Feminine' but again that is trying to put our terms onto God and the inner life of the Most Holy Trinity. All we should do is stick to the terms used by Our Lord, understand them as the Fathers did, and otherwise be mindful of our ignorance and limitation. Many theological battles were (and are) fought to protect that doctrine from errors and distortions.
