Katoliku preester juhatab kirikus budistlikku mälestustseremooniat

Halvem kui Saksamaal: 20. augustil toimus Itaalias Como lähedal Rebbios asuvas San Martino katoliiklikus kirikus mälestustseremoonia 59-aastase budistliku naise Marta Pezzati mälestuseks.
Pezzati oli vabatahtlike ühenduse „Como Accoglie“ president ning oli kohalikul tasandil hästi tuntud oma töö poolest sisserändajate ja pagulaste abistamisel.
Tseremooniat juhatas koguduse preester Giusto Della Valle, kes oli koos Pezzatiga tegelenud sisserändajatega seotud algatustega.
Tseremoonial osalesid kaks budistlikku munkki.
Üks munkidest ütles hiljem veebilehele LaNuovaBq.it, et sündmus „ei olnud miss ega isegi matused, vaid mälestus Marta suuremeelsusest”. Ta märkis, et seal ei toimunud katoliiklikku liturgiat ega palvet.
Preester: „Ta leidis Jumala Buddhas“
Videolõigud näitavad isa Della Valle’t ja teist kohal viibinud katoliiklikku preestrit, kes kandsid alba ja stola.

Leo XIV visiit Argentinasse, et viia edasi Franciscuse pärandit

Argentina ajaleht „La Nación“ teatab, et paavst Leo XIV kavandatav visiit Argentinasse kujuneb paavst Franciscuse pastoraalsete prioriteetide ja stiili tugevaks jätkuks, kus erilist rõhku pannakse vaestele, töölistele, vangidele ja tõrjutud kogukondadele.
Tõenäoline kava hõlmab kohtumist rohujuuretasandi ja sotsiaalsete liikumistega, külaskäiku Villa Devoto vanglasse ning suurt noorte kogunemist San Lorenzo jalgpallistaadionil Buenos Aireses.
Kõigil kolmel on tugev sümboolne seos Franciscusega.
Peapiiskop Jorge Bergoglio ajal hoidis Franciscus tihedaid suhteid vaeste linnaosade, vangide ja rohujuureliikumistega. San Lorenzo oli ka tema tuntud jalgpalliklubi. Staadion asub Padre Ricciardelli linnaosa lähedal, kus Bergoglio tegi sageli pastoraaltööd.
Esialgse ajakava kohaselt saabub Leo XIV pühapäeval, 8. novembril Uruguayst Buenos Airesesse, veedab Argentinas mitu päeva, reisib tõenäoliselt 10. novembril Córdobasse ning lõpetab visiidi 11. novembril missaga Lujáni basiilikas.

Singapur võtab kasutusele uued perekonna toetusmeetmed: kuna riigi sündimus on langenud rekordiliselt madalale tasemele – vaid 0,87 last naise kohta –, võtab Singapur kasutusele uue ulatusliku toetuspaketi peredele. Alates 2027. aastast eraldab valitsus igale Singapuri lapsele sünnist kuni 17. eluaastani ligi 70 000 Singapuri dollarit (umbes 55 000 USA dollarit) toetust. Pakett hõlmab rahalisi toetusi, lastehoiutoetusi, tervishoiu- ja haridustoetusi.

Singapore will pay about $55,000 in support for each child; why the country is paying parents to have babies

The announcement was made by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during Singapore's National Day Rally on August 23. Singapore has a problem that money alone has not been able to solve. People there are having fewer children. Now the country is trying a bigger, longer-term approach. Singapore will provide almost S$70,000 (around US$55,000 or roughly Rs 47 lakh) in direct financial support for every Singaporean child, from birth until the child turns 17.The announcement was made by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during Singapore's National Day Rally on August 23. But the headline figure needs some context. This is not a S$70,000 cheque that parents receive after having a baby. The amount is spread across different forms of support, including cash payments, healthcare-related grants, child credits and education support.The move comes as Singapore's fertility rate has fallen to its lowest recorded level. According to Singapore's Department of Statistics, the country's resident total fertility rate …

Latest news: Trump to issue an executive order making every American a millionaire

Did to hear that President Donald Trump through an executive order has renamed one of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario to Lake America? No, no, this is not satire. Canadians don't agree, but isn't this the age of wokism and self-identity? The American dream is alive and well. We can do anything and everything. The order states: Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) shall, in coordination with the Board on Geographic Names and consistent with 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, take all appropriate actions to rename as “Lake America” the body of water currently named as Lake Ontario, bounded on the south and east by the State of New York, and on the north, west, and southwest by the Canadian province of Ontario. The Secretary, conjointly with the Board on Geographic Names, shall subsequently update the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) to reflect the renaming of the Lake and remove all references to Lake Ontario from the GNIS, consistent with …

Katolinen pappi johtaa buddhalaisen muistotilaisuuden kirkossa

Pahempaa kuin Saksassa: 59-vuotiaan buddhalaisen naisen Marta Pezzatin muistotilaisuus pidettiin 20. elokuuta San Martino -katolisessa kirkossa Rebbiossa, Comossa, Italiassa.
Pezzati oli Como Accoglie -vapaaehtoisjärjestön puheenjohtaja ja tunnettu paikallisesti työstään maahanmuuttajien ja pakolaisten auttamiseksi.
Tilaisuuden johti seurakunnan pappi Giusto Della Valle, joka oli tehnyt yhteistyötä Pezzatin kanssa maahanmuuttajia koskevissa hankkeissa.
Seremoniaan osallistui kaksi buddhalaista munkkia.
Toinen munkkeista kertoi myöhemmin LaNuovaBq.it-sivustolle, että tilaisuus ei ollut ”messu eikä edes hautajaiset, vaan muistotilaisuus Martan anteliaisuudesta”. Hän sanoi, ettei tilaisuudessa ollut katolista liturgiaa eikä katolisia rukouksia.
Pappi: ”Hän löysi Jumalan Buddhassa”
Videotallenteissa näkyy isä Della Valle ja toinen paikalla ollut katolinen pappi, jotka olivat pukeutuneet albiin ja stolaan.

Silicon Valley pop-up Masses bring church and communities together

Campbell, Calif. — August 28, 2026 One Saturday a month, in a central Silicon Valley neighborhood, residents stop to read handmade signs taped to poles: "Misa del Barrio. ¡Todos son bienvenidos! Neighborhood Catholic Mass. You are very welcome." These posters advertise outdoor pop-up Masses, known as Misas del Barrio, which pair the liturgy with community listening sessions. "Community, forming bonds, ritual: These have always been important to the church," said Fr. Rick Rodoni, pastor of the community's parish, St. Lucy. "At the Misas, we have the opportunity to listen to each other, to offer change and to express our faith in a neighborhood, where literally, at 9 a.m. in the morning, we're singing and praising the Lord in a parking lot." At residents' request, Masses are held in low-rise apartment parking spaces, where more than 50 folding chairs face a makeshift altar. Volunteers from multiple parishes contribute music and hospitality. Tables are also set up where the neighbors can …

Leo promotes a bishop in Peru who advocates for migrants and participated in a ritual invoking Mother Earth

Leo has appointed Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera, who was auxiliary bishop of Cuzco since 2021 and had been promoted to the episcopate by Francis, as coadjutor archbishop of Cuzco in Peru.
Bishop Estrada is the General Secretary of CELAM, the Latin American Bishops' Council. In July 2024, he referred to migrants as “suffering Christs,” as reported by NCR Online.
He also stated that it is incoherent to receive Holy Communion while refusing to recognize Christ in migrants: “You can’t kneel in front of the Eucharist… and not also see that same God in the migrant.”
He was chosen as a Synod delegate and is closely associated with the Latin American episcopal current shaped by synodality, social doctrine, Amazon, and the pastoral language of the Francis era.
Bishop Estrada also participated this year in the Southern Macro-regional Gathering "Interweaving Voices for Dignity"—presented by Vatican News as part of the preparations for Pope Francis's visit to Peru—which opened without any Catholic …Veel

Catholic Priest Presides Buddhist Memorial in Church

Worse than Germany: A memorial ceremony for Buddhist woman Marta Pezzati, 59, was held on August 20 in the Catholic Church of San Martino in Rebbio, Como, Italy.
Pezzati was president of the volunteer association Como Accoglie and was well known locally for her work assisting migrants and refugees.
The ceremony was hosted by the parish priest Giusto Della Valle, who had worked with Pezzati on initiatives involving migrants.
Two Buddhist monks participated in the ceremony.
One of the monks later told LaNuovaBq.it that the event was “not a Mass and not even a funeral, but a remembrance of Marta's generosity.” He said there had been no Catholic liturgy or Catholic prayer.
Priest: “She Found God in Budddha”
Video recordings show Father Della Valle and another Catholic priest present wearing an alb and stole.
During the ceremony, the two Buddhist monks chanted a Buddhist mantra from the ambo.
Father Della Valle also spoke about Pezzati's Buddhist faith.

Leo XIV kinnitab Damaskuse maroniitide peapiiskopi ametisse

Täna kinnitas paavst Leo XIV Sharbel Ghattas Marouni valimise Damaskuse uueks maroniitide katoliiklikuks peapiiskopiks. Liibanonis sündinud preester on veetnud suure osa oma vaimulikust teenistusest Ameerika Ühendriikides.
64-aastane peapiiskop Maroun valiti ametisse maroniitide kiriku piiskoppide sinodi poolt. Ta astub ametisse 76-aastase peapiiskop Samir Nassari järele, kelle tagasiastumisavalduse sinod vastu võttis.
Alates 2020. aastast on Maroun teeninud Los Angelese Liibanoni Püha Neitsi maroniitide eparhia protosyncellusena, mis on kõrge ametikoht, võrreldav peapiiskopi asetäitjaga.
6. jaanuaril 1962. aastal Kfarselwanis Liibanonis sündinud Maroun töötas lühikest aega Crédit Libanais pangas.

Deported illegal migrant issued first-class ticket back to Bangladesh at taxpayers’ expense – Allah's Willing Executioners

Delta Air Linesdomestic first class aboard an Airbus A220. Wikimedia Commons, Delta News Hub, CC-BY-2.0 An illegal migrant being deported back to Bangladesh was given a first-class ticket for his flight, GB News understands. The People’s Channel uncovered last autumn the astonishing story of Mr A, a homeless illegal migrant and convicted criminal who had been asking the Home Office to send him home since March. Following the involvement of GB News, he was finally returned to his family. However, it has emerged that he was issued with a first-class ticket from London to Doha, the first leg of his journey. Mr A had come to the United Kingdom legally in 2013 on a student visa. He failed to finish his university course and then stayed for years, working illegally. He had later become homeless in Southend and turned to shoplifting. By this point, he was keen to return home to his family in Bangladesh, where his father is ill. However, despite help from former Tory MP Anna Firth, the current …

First woman rector of a shrine: Witnessing to the Gospel through listening

[vaticannews] At the Rimini Meeting, we spoke with Anna Medeossi, who has been entrusted with the care of Notre-Dame de Santa Cruz in Oran, Algeria, about her story of encounter, faith, and listening.
By Eugenio Murrali and Andrea Tornielli - Rimini
Anna Medeossi has a lively and determined gaze, gentleness in her voice and gestures, and a wisdom that is both humble and profound.
An architect originally from the Italian city of Gorizia, she might never have imagined what life would call her to do nearly a year ago: become the first woman in the world to serve as rector of a shrine.
That distinction takes on even greater significance because of where the shrine is located: Notre-Dame de Santa Cruz in Oran, Algeria, an overwhelmingly Muslim country.
Images of the shrine she oversees were seen around the world on the occasion of the beatification of the Martyrs of Algeria.
From architecture to caring for the shrine

Mother of Mercy kabel Columbusis, Ohio osariigis, oli juba varem kaunis romaani stiilis kirik, kuid 20. sajandi lõpus tehtud ümberehitused olid vähendanud selle pühakoja ühtsust. 2025. aastal asendas arhitektuuribüroo William Heyer Architect väikese kaasaegse eesasuva altari käsitsi nikerdatud puidust eraldiseisva altariga, mis sobis paremini ajaloolise interjööri iseloomuga. Peamine muudatus oli Rudolph Scheffleri 1950. aastate „Kristus Kuningas“ apsise seinamaali laiendamine. Uued pühakud ja pühad sümbolid täidavad nüüd algse kompositsiooni ümber asuvaid varem tühje alasid.

FSSPX-i esialgne kaebus lükati tagasi: Vatikani tähtaeg vastata Püha Pius X Preestrite Vennaskonnale (FSSPX) seoses esialgse kaebusega 2. juuli dekreedi kohta, millega kuulutati kuus piiskoppi automaatselt ekskommunikeerituks, on nüüd möödunud, märgib @Michael Haynes. FSSPX esitas oma kaebuse Püha Toolile 11. juulil. Kanoniseaduse kohaselt oli pädeval asutusel vastamiseks aega 30 päeva. Kuna see tähtaeg on nüüd otsuseta möödunud, võib FSSPX minna edasi oma kanonilise vaidlustuse järgmise etapi juurde. Kanoon 1735 sätestab, et kui ettenähtud 30 päeva jooksul otsust ei tehta, hakkab hierarhilise kaebuse esitamise tähtaeg kulgema alates 30. päevast.

Leo’s liturgical problem: SSPX and the Latin Mass

VATICAN CITY (Per Mariam) — The return of Pope Leo from his summer vacation serves as a useful moment for both the pontiff and the wider Church to take stock of his pontificate after another year, with a number of key agenda items demanding his early attention. As the motorcade departed the papal villas in Castel Gandolfo on the evening of July 27, Vatican observers began to resume their normal posts as Leo’s return to the Vatican signalled the pope’s return to work. This year he took nearly the full month of July for a personal holiday, and though it was interspersed with some lighter duties and trips to pilgrimage spots, it was overall a period of quiet. No official meetings or audiences were scheduled and it is the longest single block of time that Leo has spent away from work since he was elected – last summer he took two separate and shorter holidays at Castel Gandolfo.

Why Mary’s Role as Mediatrix of All Graces CANT Be Rejected | The Fatima Center

Is the role of Our Lady as Mediatrix of All Graces being undermined? A recent Vatican document has raised serious questions about the traditional Catholic understanding of Our Lady’s role in the distribution of grace. In this presentation, we examine why the title “Mediatrix of All Graces” matters and why it cannot simply be dismissed by saying that Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and man. Jesus Christ is indeed the one Mediator and Savior. But, as this presentation explains, Our Lord chose to come to us through Mary—and He continues to give His graces to us through Her. Mary’s spiritual motherhood is therefore inseparable from understanding Her role in the work of salvation. The presentation also looks at Our Lady’s role in the conversion of nations, particularly through the extraordinary events surrounding Our Lady of Guadalupe, and explains the connection between Mary, the Holy Ghost, and the distribution of divine grace. Finally, the discussion returns to Fatima and …

Itaalia peapiiskopkond kaitseb „androgeenset“ Madonnat

Rumeenia kunstniku Teodora Axente loodud Neitsi Maarja kujutis on tekitanud poleemikat Itaalias Sienas. Sel aastal Palio lipul kujutatud Neitsi on androgüünne ja erineb igasugusest Maarja ikonograafiast.
Siena linnavalitsus tellis Axentelt „Drappellone“ – värvitud siidlipu, mis antakse võitjaks osutunud „contrada“le, ühele Siena ajaloolisest linnaosast, linna sajanditevanuses Palio hobuste võidusõidus. Axente nimetati ametisse linnavalitsuse poolt linnapea Nicoletta Fabio ettepanekul.
Lipp avati 10. augustil. Sellel on Neitsi kujutatud Siena ja selle contrade kohal, kaitstes paavst Pius II-ga seotud kuldset roosi, ning see mälestab 1526. aasta Camollia lahingu 500. aastapäeva.
Axente nimetas kujutist oma isiklikuks nägemuseks Madonnast ja ütles, et teose tegelased on „rohkem androogsed“ ja seetõttu „universaalsed tegelased“.
13. augustil avaldas Siena peapiiskopkond avalduse, mille autoriks oli Collegio dei Correttori rektor isa Enrico Grassini. Ta lükkas tagasi tõlgenduse, et Axente …Veel
