“Beatings will continue until morale improves” is a cynical phrase passed around offices worldwide. I thought about it when reading Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández’s interview about his new document. On @Crux cruxnow.com/news-analysis/20…

Thank you @MgrMRouge for the insightful answers on the riots in France.
Interestingly, Bishop Rougé said the joy of the pope's visit, and the violence of the riots, were "two sides of the same coin" driven by a "thirst for hope" among the young.

At its root, the crisis we are experiencing is spiritual: how can we build our lives if we do not understand their purpose? @92catholique @FionnShiner92 @Crux

Catholic support for Trump is declining, but is it just part of a national trend? My latest from @Crux (Not behind the paywall!) cruxnow.com/news-analysis/20…

Thank you to @IsabelVSpruce for her time yesterday speaking with me about her pro-life work outside abortion centres in the UK.
The full interview for @Crux can be read below, in which she says pro-lifers are subjected to "two-tier policing."

Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan’s actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: ‘do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17).

Vatican warns of scams involving bogus Catholic chivalric orders, stipulating that it recognizes only the Order of Malta and the Order of the Holy Sepulcher.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Another first from Pope Leo: a woman will oversee the Church's missionary efforts from Rome.
The role of President of TPMS global had been vacant since Pope Francis had appointed the then President Archbishop Emilio Nappa to the Governatorato.

In an age dominated by technology, in which efficiency and profit often take precedence, it is so important that we continue to cultivate a spirit of contemplation and allow time and space for beauty. Such an attitude will greatly help humanity, especially young people, to discover the ability of art to uplift and reveal the depths of the human spirit and our openness to the divine. Contemplation presents a marvelous opportunity to encounter the God who is Beauty.

The bishops meet at the Vatican today to discuss Amoris Laetitia. Well they discuss a footnote, or the real problems facing the Catholic Church when it comes to marriage? @Crux cruxnow.com/news-analysis/20…

What's at stake in the big Amoris laetitia conference in the Vatican this week?
Probably not what you think.
Read this piece by @CharlesinRome for @Crux.

This is rightly going viral, but you should know it's a pull quote from a larger speech Pope Leo gave this morning to a group of artists. The whole thing is worth reading:
vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Until now, most people heard the pope dubbed into their language. Now, hundreds of millions can hear his own voice in their first or second language. A different experience for listeners—and one that makes outlets worldwide more likely to broadcast sound bites.
Interesting point about the papal plane is not just what he said, but how @Pontifex said it: All of his answers were in English or Spanish. He even answered the Italian question in Spanish. The overflight messages to national leaders were in English for France and Switzerland. Now if the Vatican Press office could get the rest of his stuff translated into English before Portuguese or Polish, that would be great... I wrote about this last year on @Crux cruxnow.com/news-analysis/20…
