In a Rescriptum ex Audientia Sanctissimi approved on March 25 and published on May 28, Leo XIV introduced a new procedural faculty concerning the governance of religious institutes and monasteries. The measure grants the Vatican Congregation for Religious the authority to permit a diocesan bishop to dismiss the superior of a monastery under canon 699 §2 of the Code of Canon Law. The Dicastery is led by Sister Simona Brambilla, Prefect, and Sister Tiziana Merletti, Secretary. The rescript is signed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State. It also notes that Pope Francis had previously expressed support for this approach. #newsDxprffrcqu
On 27 May, Leo XIV received the Spanish Socialist Pedro Sánchez for a 45-minute audience ahead of the Pope’s June visit to Spain. Afterward, Sánchez publicly said there was “sintonía” (“strong alignment”) between the Spanish government and the Pope on migration, poverty, and a “humanist” regulation of artificial intelligence. He also called Leo XIV “a moral compass.” The upcoming papal visit to Spain further reinforced the perception of alignment. Leo XIV is scheduled to address the Spanish Parliament, visit migrant arrival sites in the Canary Islands, and emphasize humanitarian themes closely associated with Sánchez’s political agenda. Spanish authorities held more than 80 coordination meetings in preparation for the visit. While Sánchez was meeting the Pope, Civil Guard officers were simultaneously searching Socialist Party headquarters in Madrid under a court warrant linked to alleged illegal financing. Several Spanish media outlets highlighted the striking contrast between …مزید
“The priests of the Lord must therefore, so far as reason and prudence suggest, impose salutary and suitable satisfactions, in keeping with the nature of the crimes and the ability of the penitents; otherwise, if they should connive at sins and deal too leniently with penitents, imposing certain very light works for very grave offenses, they might become partakers in the sins of others.” Council of Trent, Session XIV, CHAPTER VIII “connive in sins” various descriptions Connivance is the act of allowing wrongdoing to be covered up or overlooked, whether actively or passively; "Connivance" derives from the Latin coniveo: "to close the eyes, to overlook."; In theological terms, connivance is a useful term, especially for the passive allowance of immoral behavior; culpable indifference or criminal sympathy with the sin; Wink at his fault, and forbear to accuse and punish him; indifference to precise regulations of religion, indisposition of heart towards "perfect holiness"; a loose …مزید
Light penances for grave sins do more harm than good—they condemn the penitent to even greater torment in purgatory and make the priest complicit in the sins. Moreover, does a woman understand the full gravity of her sin after receiving three Lord's Prayer prayers as satisfaction for an abortion? Will she refrain from repeating the sin next time?
The Encylclical’s Section Inventing Lay Governance: In a May 25 video, Raymond Arroyo flagged Paragraph 87 of Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas because it calls for "the participation of the baptized in decision-making processes" within the Church. Fr. Gerald Murray responded that the language comes directly from the Synod’s final document: "This is lay governance in the Church. This is this new theory that the power to govern in the Church is derived from the sacrament of baptism, not from the sacrament of holy orders. This has no place in a document about social justice and AI. This is just a further lobbying effort to try and convince people that the way the Church has been run from the beginning — which is that the apostles and their successors are the shepherds who take care of the flock — that that’s being discarded. It’s regrettable to say the least."
Buried in the Pope’s new Encyclical on A.I. are some things you might have missed, like a section on the governance of the Church- by lay people.
The British ‘Marian Franciscans’, a break-away group from the Franciscans of the Immaculate, cease to exist on 31 May, they announced today. The leading public figure is Fr Serafino M. Lanzetta. The UK community consists of about 20 friars and 20 sisters and used both, the Novus Ordo and the Mass in the Roman rite. It had two priories, in Portsmouth and in Dundee. The original order, the Franciscans of the Immaculate, underwent a dramatic Vatican destruction beginning in 2013 (founder: Fr Stefano Manelli). In November 2014, some friars and seminarians gravitated toward the UK. On 31 May, 2018, the community was erected as a Public Association of the Faithful in the Diocese of Portsmouth by Bishop Philip Egan, who is among the better bishops in Europe. The friars voted on 27 April to petition for dissolution, and Bishop Egan issued the decree of dissolution on 24 May. Individual priests will continue ministry in three existing locations with appropriate diocesan permission. They are …مزید

At today's General Audience, Pope Leo XIV urged priests - in words only - to respect the texts and norms of the Mass. The Holy Father reminded priests not to alter the liturgy “on their own initiative,” warning that such changes can create confusion among the faithful.
Abbé Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, who will be consecrated a bishop of the FSSPX on July 1, celebrated Mass at the altar of Saint Pius X in St. Peter’s Basilica on 9 August 2014. The Mass was authorized by the Papal Basilica, and he used vestments made available from the basilica sacristy.

Retired Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, 81, told SettimanaNews.it (May 21) that Pope Francis “felt the need to adapt doctrine to new times” regarding Humanae Vitae (1968). Francis had asked the pro-homosexual Archbishop to prepare the “necessary updates.” Monsignor Paglia wrote a text with a group of theologians, and Francis “appreciated it greatly”. The issues under discussion included homosexuality, marriage, “irregular” (sinful) situations, and Communion for the divorced and remarried. Throughout the interview, Paglia portrays Catholic moral theology - including the concept of “non-negotiable values” - as “moralistic,” based on “abstract principles,” “desk theology,” and detached from "real human experience". "Immutable vision of natural law" overturned Furthermore, Archbishop Paglia stated that the 2016 “reform” of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family involved “rethinking the concept of ‘nature’.” According to Paglia, the previous approach had rested …مزید

Archbishop Mario Delpini of Milan has cancelled the traditional Corpus Christi procession through the city, replacing it with a walk inside Milan Cathedral. He cited traffic and overtourism as reasons, saying the procession risked becoming a “folkloric event.” Critics responded that Milan’s city centre is largely pedestrianised and questioned why major secular events like the Giro d’Italia or homosexual marches can still take over the streets, while a Eucharistic procession cannot.

Commissioner for Padre Pio's Hospital: Leo XIV has established a Steering and Supervisory Commission to address the long-running financial troubles of Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, the southern Italian hospital founded by Padre Pio. The body, chaired by the Vatican's economy prefect Maximino Caballero Ledo, holds full operational powers and reports directly to the Pope. It will oversee efforts to stabilise the hospital, which carries debts of around €108 million to suppliers.

By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | May 26, 2026 Although I generally admired Pope Leo’s first encyclical, I was dismayed to read, in paragraph 192: Today, more than ever, without prejudice to the right to self-defense in the strictest sense, it is important to reaffirm that the “just war” theory, which has all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated. Pope Leo is not the first Pontiff to say that just-war theory is outdated. Pope Francis said the same thing. Even Pope Pius XII, who cannot be classified as a pacifist, said in his Christmas message of 1948: “The theory of war as an apt and proportionate means of solving international conflicts is now out of date.” But Pius XII, speaking in the aftermath of World War II, did not jettison just-war theory—even with the advent of The Bomb threatening new levels of mass destruction. No one short of Dr. Strangelove would think that nuclear war is “an apt and proportionate means” of resolving conflicts. A …
Austrian Bishop Rides Scooter Through Church During Confirmation: On May 24, Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics of Eisenstadt rode an electric scooter through a church in Neckenmarkt during a Confirmation Eucharist. The scene was captured by a photographer and shared by ORF Burgenland on Instagram. The bishop explained that he wanted to make his sermon "relevant" to the young congregation, having been told that the children in the area are avid scooter riders. By incorporating the vehicle into the service, he hoped to use it as a means of explaining the Holy Spirit in a way that would resonate with them.
