Cardinal Müller called for a return to true masculinity based on courage, sacrifice and responsibility. Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller joined the Pilgrimage of Men with Families to the Shrine of the First Martyrs of Poland in Międzyrzecz on September 12, blessing plaques marking the 1,060th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland. Speaking about male fidelity, Müller said: “The world today is trying to redefine masculinity.” He pointed to the Międzyrzecz martyrs as men willing to defend what is sacred to the end, defining a “true man” as one “who builds on a firm foundation and is capable of suffering for higher values.” The martyrs, robbed and murdered at night († 1003) in their monastery, were ordinary flesh-and-blood men, not legendary heroes, Müller said. He added that masculine victory often arises through steadfast responsibility for those entrusted to one’s care.
Kard. Gerhard Müller zaapelował o powrót do „prawdziwej męskości”, odrzucając utożsamianie jej z dominacją i stanem konta. Prawdziwy mężczyzna „buduje na mocnym fundamencie, potrafi cierpieć dla wyższych wartości i dogląda granic swojego królestwa”.
A 2026 study found an interesting link between siblings and teen mental health. Researchers looked at data from 16,725 teenagers in rural China from 2010 to 2022. Teens with more siblings were less likely to show signs of depression, with an even stronger effect among younger teens. Each additional sibling was linked to a 1.7–1.8 percentage-point lower probability of depression.
What do you think about people who use Catholic media to feed their families? Are they somehow corrupt? 'No one can be a disciple of Christ without renouncing all their property.'

Restructuring in Spain Along the Lines of the German Synod: Example of the Diocese of León. The Diocese of León has announced major changes for the 2026–27 year. Bishop Luis Ángel de las Heras has appointed two women as episcopal delegates to increase female participation in diocesan governance. The diocesan seminary will close, and its seven seminarians will move to Salamanca as plans advance for an interdiocesan seminary. New pastoral areas will focus on sport, women’s participation, bereavement and work. The Claretian Missionaries will close their residence in León after 57 years.

A mother is still a mother. One day, a woman walked into a doctor’s office carrying her three-month-old baby. “Doctor,” she said, “I think his ear hurts.” The doctor examined the baby and nodded. “You’re right. He has an ear infection.” He wrote a prescription, handed it to her, and she thanked him and started toward the door. I was standing nearby, completely puzzled. “Excuse me,” I said. “Your baby is only three months old. He can’t even tell you what hurts. How did you know it was his ear?” She smiled. “You’re surprised about the ear?” she said. “I know this baby better than I know myself. I know the way he cries when he’s hungry, when he’s tired, when he wants to be held, and when something hurts. I know when he normally sleeps, when he wakes up, how much he eats, and what every little change in his behavior means. I’m his mother.” Then she continued. “When something hurts, everything changes. Sleep changes. Feeding changes. The cry changes. Last night, he wasn’t crying the way he …نور
2,200 people joined Switzerland’s March for Life in Zurich on Saturday under the banner “Together for Life”. Around 200 masked counter-demonstrators, some on bicycles, tried repeatedly to block the route, overturning containers and setting off firecrackers. Police issued orders to disperse before deploying water cannons and rubber shots (!). Bottles were thrown at officers and two people were provisionally arrested. The march has been kept outside central Zurich for years, a restriction organisers say amounts to unequal treatment.

After more than four centuries, the Dominicans have left the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Las Caldas de Besaya in Cantabria, Spain. Last Sunday, the Dominicans formally entrusted the sanctuary to the Diocese of Santander. The church will remain a place of worship. The property continues to belong to the Dominicans. But the resident Dominican community - once one of the Order’s important houses in Spain - has come to an end. The scale of the change is captured by Fr. Francisco García Ortega OP, the last superior of the community. He entered the Dominican Order at Las Caldas 55 years ago, aged 17. At the time, the sanctuary housed Dominican philosophical studies. “We were more than 200 friars, and now we are only two,” García Ortega told DiocesisDeSantander.com. Those two are García Ortega and Fr. Fernando Serrano Pérez OP, who has served at Las Caldas for about 30 years. The Dominicans first came to Las Caldas in the early 17th century. Fr García Ortega noted that during four centuries …نور

There was once a man who went his entire life without getting married. When he was ninety years old and lying on his deathbed, one of his relatives finally asked him a question everyone had wondered about for years. “You never married, but you never really told us why. Now that you’re at the end of your life, can you tell us the truth? If there’s some secret behind it, you may as well share it now.” The old man smiled faintly. “Yes, there is a reason,” he said. “It’s not that I was against marriage. I simply spent my life looking for the perfect woman.” He paused for a moment. “I traveled, met countless people, and kept believing that somewhere out there I would find the one person who had everything I was looking for. Before I knew it, the years had passed.” His relative stared at him. “You mean to tell me that in all those years, in a world filled with millions of women, you never found even one who was perfect?” A tear rolled down the old man’s cheek. “Oh, I found her,” he said. The …نور

Dom Josep Maria Canals i Lamiel, the “Dynamite Priest” who became a Carthusian monk, died on 18 September, aged 96. Known for his energetic ministry among working-class communities, he entered the Grande Chartreuse at 55 and later Montalegre, becoming prior at 87. When the monastery once faced possible closure, Canals said he prayed before Our Lady of Lourdes and offered his own life so that Montalegre would not be abandoned. He remained there until his death.
