Cloistered life in Spain has lost nearly 3,700 nuns since 2013, and 162 monasteries have been closed. Many more will follow. Spain and Italy are the countries with the largest number of cloistered monasteries. According to the Spanish Bishops' Conference (CEE), there are 703 active convents, compared to 865 in 2013. And so far in 2024, four more have closed their doors. The latest is the Congregation of the Carmelite nuns of Lucena, which has been linked to this city in Cordoba for four centuries. Of the total number of convents currently in operation, 666 are for women and 37 for men. The unstoppable secularisation of the Church, together with the low birth rate and the ageing of the communities (the average age of the nuns is around 80), is disastrous. For the first time, the average number of nuns per convent has fallen below 11. The convent of the Carmelite nuns of Ronda is one of the monasteries struggling to survive, writes Heraldo.es (21 July). Its abbess, the Gibraltarian Sister …More

As early as the 1940s and 1950s, the Holy See suggested that Father Marcial Maciel (1920-2008), founder of the Legionaries of Christ, was guilty of homosexual acts, drug use, financial recklessness, and mendacity. Maciel later also fathered three children and used his religious order to hide and finance a double life. Maciel founded the Legion of Christ in Mexico in 1941. In 2012, some of Maciel's Mexican victims published on LaVoluntadDeNoSaber.com about 200 documents from the Congregation for Religious from the 1940s to 2002 . Corriere.it (20 July) added to the known information one new document from the Vatican archives of the papacy of Pius XII (1939-1958). It is the original draft of a note dated 1 October 1956, written by Monsignor Giovanni Battista Scapinelli of the Holy Congregation for Religious. This was the day that Maciel arrived in Rome after being removed by the Vatican as superior of the Legionaries of Christ. The note called for Maciel to be barred from any contact with …More

The Vatican’s representative to the UN urged the world’s nations to fund the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Several nations cut funding to the agency after UNRWA staff members were accused of taking part in the October 7 attack on Israel. Most nations have resumed funding, but the US and UK have not. “The Holy See would like to reiterate the crucial role of UNRWA in addressing the basic needs of over 5 million Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, especially in the context of the ongoing catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip,” Archbishop Gabriele Caccia, apostolic nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, said in a statement. “The Holy See calls for a ceasefire on all fronts, the immediate release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza, the unhindered delivery of essential aid to the Palestinian people, and respect for international humanitarian law by all parties involved, without exception,” …More

Caminante-Wanderer.blogspot.com (22 July) commented on rumours about an alleged new anti-Holy Mass document from the Holy See. Main points - Such a document, in the form of an Apostolic Constitution, has been in the Vatican's drawers since late 2021. - Francis was supposed to sign it in February 2022, but he refused. - Cardinal Roche, head of the Dicastery for the Liturgy, who presented the document to Francis, fell out of favour with the tyrant. Francis has not received Roche personally since. - Cardinal Roche is "not a skilful person, let alone an intelligent one", but "a person who has a habit of screwing up every project and every organisation". - Cardinal Roche ended up in Rome because in just three years as Bishop of Leeds, England, he had caused all kinds of chaos, including financial, although the diocese is wealthy. Cardinal Nichols asked Benedict XVI to remove Roche from England, and Benedict had no better idea than to make him Secretary of the Congregation for the Liturgy. -…More

The Synod of the Chaldean Church, led by Cardinal and Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako, has publicly announced that it refuses to bless homosexual unions in order to preserve the sanctity of marriage. In the same statement, they indicate the need to raise awareness among priests about the seriousness of sexual abuse of minors. The Chaldean Church, which has given a good number of martyrs to the Catholic Church in recent times, killed out of hatred for the faith by Islamist fundamentalists of ISIS, follows the pattern set by the Eastern churches, whether they are in communion with Rome or not, and by a good part of the world's Latin-rite episcopate, and refuses to bless homosexual unions. The Chaldean Church is one of the twenty-four sui iuris Churches that make up the Catholic Church. It is an Eastern Catholic Church that follows the Chaldean (or East Syrian) liturgical tradition, using East Syriac as its liturgical language and Peninsular Arabic as its auxiliary language. It is presided …More
