The Archdiocese of Utrecht has rejected as false rumours that Cardinal Willem Eijk, 73, could have asked Pope Leo XIV during an audience on Monday to accept his early resignation as Archbishop. “These reports are false. He has not offered his resignation,” the archdiocese told the Dutch newspaper Katholiek Nieuwsblad on Wednesday. An archdiocesan spokesman added that there was no basis for such speculation. The audience attracted attention because Eijk has experienced health problems in recent months and didn't attend the consistories in January and June. The archdiocese also provided an update on the cardinal’s health. “It is known that Cardinal Eijk struggled with health problems last winter,” the spokesman said. His recovery had taken longer than initially hoped, but was now progressing well. According to the archdiocese, Eijk is expected to resume his duties fully on September 1. #newsKxqihmxlwe
Good afternoon, My name is Niwa Limbu, Vatican Correspondent for AdVaticanum. I have created this GloriaTV account specifically to address your recent news commentary. The claim that AdVaticanum spread a rumour about Cardinal Eijk’s resignation is entirely false. Whenever we mentioned the possibility of resignation or early retirement, we clearly presented it as rumour or speculation, never as established fact. We reported only what was being whispered; we never claimed it to be true. The commentary that we spread such a rumour is inaccurate. We urge GloriaTV to correct or withdraw this statement promptly to avoid any further escalation, including potential legal action. Thank you.

Blessed Michael J. McGivney - August 13 Michael Joseph McGivney (August 12, 1852 – August 14, 1890) was an American Catholic priest based in New Haven, Connecticut. He founded the Knights of Columbus at a local parish to serve as a mutual aid and insurance organization, particularly for immigrants and their families. It developed through the 20th century as the world's largest Catholic fraternal organization. The cause for his canonization started in the Archdiocese of Hartford in 1996; in March 2008, Pope Benedict XVI declared McGivney "Venerable" in recognition of his "heroic virtue". On May 27, 2020, Pope Francis announced that McGivney had been approved for beatification, which officially occurred on October 31, 2020. Michael J. McGivney - Wikipedia

'Father James Altman dreamed he was a priest facing pressure from parishioners who threatened to protest and have him removed unless he changed his sermons. When he returned to celebrate Mass, the church was largely empty. The choice was stark: change the message to keep people in the pews or continue preaching the truth, even if it meant losing them all. The dream led him to the Gospel passage where crowds abandon Jesus after He speaks difficult truths. Faithfulness to God’s truth may come at the cost of popularity and numbers. The question every Catholic must answer is whether they will remain faithful to Christ or follow human opinions, ecclesial figures, or movements that have departed from the truth.'

Lionel Andrades is a contemporary Catholic lay blogger in Rome who published the blog Eucharist and Mission.

No bulldozing Big Bend! Take action here: chilli ‒ power, in your hand Bulldozers broke ground inside Big Bend National Park last week, right along the Rio Grande with Santa Elena Canyon in the background. The plan is about 200 miles of patrol roads, 17 miles of vehicle barriers, and surveillance technology, paid for with a $1.7 billion contract to a private construction company. Here is what makes this so hard to accept. Inside the park, apprehensions accounted for less than one tenth of one percent of the national total. This is not a place where people are crossing. The Border Patrol and the Park Service have worked side by side out there for decades without carving roads through the wildest country left in Texas. More than 500,000 people visit Big Bend every year. The park brought almost $57 million into that local economy in 2024. The river outfitters in Terlingua are the ones who lose when public access to the Rio Grande gets cut off. That is a real economy with real jobs, and it …More
"We didn't have to worry about any type of barrier. We had a God-made barrier," said Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland of Terrell County, a vast and sparsely populated area northeast of the park. He spent 26 years in the US Border Patrol, hearing little if any talk of needing extra infrastructure in the area where he grew up, he said. "But that's definitely changed." US Customs and Border Protection says it's not planning to build the same kind of 30-foot-high barrier that has appeared across parts of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas inside the national park. But critics say the plan that is in the works is no less destructive. Earlier this month, bulldozers were videoed uprooting trees and shoveling dirt as wild animals trotted by. They were doing preliminary work ahead of the budgeted $1.72 billion main construction project designated for the area inside Big Bend National Park, the agency said. It's part of the bigger plan to finish the border wall — or some form of it — before …More

All those shoes and clothing belonged to somebody, and they just made these bodies disappear." 45K views · 965 reactions | "A whole generation …
"He was accustomed to say that in this single work of mercy the thirteen others are assembled. Is it not, he said, in some manner, to visit the sick, to obtain by our prayers the relief of the poor suffering souls in Purgatory ? Is it not to give drink to those who thirst after the vision of God, and who are enveloped in burning flames, to share with them the dew of our prayers? Is it not to feed the hungry, to aid in their deliverance by the means which faith suggests ? Is it not truly to ransom prisoners?"
[Saint Catherine of Genoa – XV-XVI Century AD; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; Aged 62-63; mystic, known for her work among the sick and the poor] ST. FRANCIS DE SALES ON PURGATORY. The opinion of St. Francis de Sales was that from the thought of Purgatory we should draw more consolation than pain. The greater number of those, he said, who fear Purgatory so much, do so in consideration of their own interests and of the love they bear themselves rather than the interests of God ; and this happens because those who treat of this place from the pulpit usually speak of its pains and are silent in regard to the happiness and peace which are found in it When any of his friends or acquaintances died, he never grew weary of speaking fondly of them and recommending them to the prayers of others. His usual expression was : " We do not sufficiently remember our dead, our faithful departed and the proof of it is that we do not speak enough of them. We turn away from …More
Today, Leo XIV sent a prerecorded video message to the 70th-anniversary assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando. LCWR is the largest association of leaders of Catholic women religious in the United States. Its members are generally the superiors of congregations of sisters. The video was shown to an overwhelmingly elderly gathering, with scarcely a religious habit or young face in sight. Religious to Become “Experts in Synodality” Leo XIV said that all Christians are called to be “formed in a synodal Church”. He continued: “In a special way, those in religious life are called to become experts in synodality due to the opportunities afforded by community life to practice it.” Then, he praised the assembly's planned “synodal method of listening, discussion and discernment,” expressing the hope that through such “fraternal and receptive dialogue” the sisters would be able to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying” about “the present and future of consecrated …More
Worse than Germany: Cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi of Tokyo has welcomed the Japanese government's plan to promote "understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity", which was approved on 16 June. The plan involves education and "awareness initiatives" in government, schools, and workplaces, as well as measures to combat "discrimination" against homosexuals. In an interview with UcaNews.com on June 17, Cardinal Kikuchi described the government’s decision as “meaningful”, stating that it had clearly articulated a policy intended to foster a "deeper understanding of sexual minorities". And: "An inclusive community that welcomes everyone is not just an attitude; it is the first step towards building the world that God calls us to create." The cardinal's latest remarks are consistent with his longstanding homosex activism. Tokyo Archdiocese has organised monthly homosexual Eucharists. In 2023, he contributed to the book LGBT and Christianity, promoted by the 'Catholic HIV/AIDS Desk'. …More
