Are
church investigation procedures
really just?
(1998 Doctrine & Life)
Fr Ladislas Orsy SJ (ACP)
"The judicial procedures of the Regulations are entirely of human
composition. They are not rooted in any tradition: they are the
product of post-Tridentine defensive policies"
Good News story:
Theology

Kerry Weber (America)
Not "bars" as in "pub"
but as in "prison"!
What
Assisi has lost
Austen Ivereigh
(America)
Why Assisi III fell flat. Pope & Curia avoided term "Spirit
of Assisi" because this term is now in same
"needs re-interpreting" folder
as "spirit of Vatican II"

Civil
& Ecclesiastical Disobedience
Brian Lewis
(Monday blogger from Australia)
Listening
carefully does not rule out dissent, which may be morally justified
depending on the strength of the reasons supporting it
Year of
Faith:
Vatican's
plans/hymn/calendar
Cindy Wooden (NCR)
For Oct 11 Mass, Pope has invited as concelebrants
bishops and theologians who
like himself, served as members or
experts at the 1962-65
Second Vatican Council.
See comment:
"Will Hans Kung be among
the theologians invited to concelebrate with the Pope?"

This site gives the Catechism

Eucharist
and Dialogue
Martin Mallon
(Tuesday blogger from Ireland)
"Would Jesus talk to ACP?" ! Martin
recommends this excellent article from Independent.ie
Healing
our rotten State from within
by Stephen J. Costello
"It is the spiritual dimension that
urgently needs to be tapped into, where inner riches and vast
resources of the Irish spirit lie dormant. Therein lies our strength. And
the solution.
Italy
- Religious Illiteracy:
Need for adult education
Sandro Magister (Chiesa)
Reader: Lots of interesting things to say about faith, culture, various forms of indifferentism, clan/tribal faith and inculturated practice. It also highlights what is most alarming for B 16 and the Curia namely the sharp decline in female practice. The study also proposes that an almost exclusive focus of Church resources on the youth is unwise and ultimately ineffectual. Where have they been?
Vic sex abuse inquiry:
Hell

Michael Short, Judy Courtin
Reader: The disaster grows
in scope and magnitude

Young drug offenders
From article above, Communion
for the Remarried, by James
Roberts:
As a convert, I have many fond memories of my RCIA class,
but the worst - recalled with horror still - is of a married couple
being told, just before Easter, that they could not be received, because
their circumstances - a divorce history - would not permit it. We had
talked and prayed with them since the previous October. We belonged
together. And they slunk away into the night - a bit like the rich man
turning down Christ's invitation, but not in this case through their own
volition but instead because they had been rejected by the place to which
Christ had brought them.
