Austrian Archbishop hails Amoris Laetitia as “groundbreaking” guide to Church mercy. Archbishop Franz Lackner of Salzburg, president of the Austrian Bishops’ Conference, praised Pope Francis’ 2016 exhortation Amoris laetitia on October 6 as a guide to “authentic mercy.” He urged the Church to “accompany” people in “all life situations.” Amoris laetitia was basically about sacrilegious Communion for adulterers.

Leo XIV promotes Bishop García Macías, who fought the traditional Mass but promoted the Mayan liturgy in Mexico. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Spanish Bishop Aurelio García Macías, 61, as Secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. He is succeeding Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, who has been appointed Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica. García Macías is former rector of the seminary of Valladolid. A career man, with a gentle and courteous manner, like Monsignor Viola, he too was formed liturgically at Sant’Anselmo. In 2021, Francis appointed García Macías Undersecretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and, unusually for that position, simultaneously elevated him to the episcopate. Part of the Sant’ Anselmo clique García Macías became a close friend of Archbishop Piero Marini, the former papal master of ceremonies and a prominent figure associated with the postconciliar liturgical reform. La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana identified García Macías in 2023 as part of a group of …Ebisinga

So anti-TLM Viola gets St Peter’s (not encouraging)
Leo XIV appoints enemy of Roman Mass, Archbishop Viola, as archpriest of St. Peter’s – “More to the left than Andrea Grillo”, wears Bugnini’s ring. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, 61, O.F.M., as Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City, and President of the Fabric of St. Peter. He succeeds Cardinal Mauro Gambetti. Monsignor Viola will likely be created a cardinal, as every listed Archpriest of St. Peter’s for hundreds of years has been a cardinal. In 2021, when he was Bishop of Tortona, Francis appointed him Secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. Viola’s career was strongly supported by Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino, who served as Prelate of Pompeii, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship, and later Bishop of Assisi. In Assisi, he worked closely with Viola, who was active in Franciscan, liturgical, and charitable work. Archbishop Viola is part of the circle inspired by Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the architect …Ebisinga

Concubinages may contain “authentic love” - Leo XIV-appointed Bishop at the 'Amoris Laetitia' meeting. At the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Bishop Stephen Fernandes, 65, spoke on October 9 about accompanying unmarried couples. Leo XIV had apointed him as auxiliary bishop of Bombay, India, in October 2025. Discussing differences between countries, Bishop Fernandes said: “The Gospel remains one, but pastoral pathways cannot be identical everywhere.” Addressing cohabitation, he said that “we should resist both indifference and condemnation.” He proposed asking: “What is already good in their relationship? Where can we discern signs of generosity, fidelity, responsibility and grace?” Fernandes also questioned whether moving such couples toward marriage should be the sole objective: “The question is not simply: How can we move this couple towards a wedding? It is also: Are these two people truly called to marriage, and are they ready to enter into a lifelong marital …Ebisinga
There is a legitimacy to this man's point. Yes, every instance of extra-marital "relations" is always a mortal sin, but some people just aren't going to respond appropriately to the "You're going to Hell" admonition. There is value in working with people to see what is good in their life and building upon that, in the hope that they will make their lives right before God, rather than just going in with a wrecking ball. There might even be a word for that...maybe..."compassion"?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider warned that Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican meeting on Amoris Laetitia “will not have fruit and meaning” unless the disputed teaching is corrected. In an interview with Michael Haynes, he condemned the interpretation approved by Pope Francis as “against divine law” and “a direct attack on the ineffable sanctity of the Eucharist.” Schneider insisted that the meeting must address the controversy with the Pope, arguing that the current practice cannot continue. He also denounced a new Vatican document commemorating Nostra Aetate as “a pure expression of relativism” and “a very cunning form of denial of the uniqueness of Jesus Christ,” declaring: “This is a betrayal of Christ.”
Leo XIV promotes Italian bishop who calls Ramadan “return to God” and “path toward holiness”. Today, Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Giorgio Ferretti of Foggia-Bovino, Italy, additionally as bishop of Lucera-Troia. Ferretti now leads both dioceses, united in persona episcopi, under the same bishop. Such arrangements between neighbouring dioceses sometimes precede a later merger. Born in Genoa in 1967 and ordained in 2004, Ferretti belongs to the Missionary Fraternity of Sant'Egidio, associated with social outreach, ecumenism and interreligious dialogue. Francis appointed him Archbishop of Foggia-Bovino in November 2023. Supports big mosque in his city In March 2024, Ferretti wrote to Muslims that Ramadan urges an interior “return to God”. He also described Ramada as a “holy way”. His message opened by greeting “brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith, al-salam alaykum”. As bishop, Ferretti has participated every year in diocesan Caritas meals celebrating the end of Ramadan (pictured). …Ebisinga
