New Zealand Bishop warns priests not to import practices from the 1962 Mass into the Novus Ordo. Bishop Stephen Lowe of Auckland, New Zealand, has rediscovered the liturgical rubrics. In a September 11 letter, he asked priests to review how they actually celebrate the Eucharist in light of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM). Key passage: “In particular, I would like to underline Fr Paul’s comment that we should not be adding things back into the Liturgy that were part of the 1962 Latin Mass.” The letter follows workshops led by American liturgist Fr Paul Turner and organised by the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference across all six dioceses. #newsQkshdczbqd

US priest affiliates with FSSPX, canonical proceedings started. Rev. Philip Conklin, 38, a priest of St. Paul and Minneapolis, has affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX), and his archbishop has initiated a canonical process against him. It will presumably see the priest declared excommunicated. Archbishop Bernard Hebda wrote on September 30 in the archdiocese’s newspaper: “After confirming with Father Conklin that he does not intend to cease this affiliation, I have felt compelled to commence a canonical process to clarify the situation and his status.” Rev. Conklin was ordained a priest by Archbishop Hebda relatively recently, on May 25, 2024. In March 2026, he went on a six-month leave of absence to discern his priestly vocation. There are some interesting biographical details. Before entering seminary, he trained as a pilot, served for six years in the U.S. Air Force as an air traffic controller, and subsequently worked as a civilian air traffic contractor at …Okunengi

Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Pierre Goudreault - open to married priests - as the new bishop of Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Bishop Goudreault, 63, has governed Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière since 2018 and has headed the Canadian bishops’ conference since September 2025. He said after his September 29 appointment that Catholics should discern how to become “a synodal Church” characterized by “mutual listening” and “communal discernment.” “The Church as a laboratory” Already before becoming a bishop, Goudreault told LePlacoteux.com in 2017 that he sees “the Church as a laboratory where we have to allow ourselves to try things” and that “we have to change our ways of doing things”. The remarks accompanied discussion of his book Faire Église autrement (“Being Church Differently”), in which he proposed the multiplication of small groups for reflection, faith-sharing and Christian formation as a path for the Church's future. Open to Married Priests In January 2024, LePlacoteux.com asked …Okunengi
WHAT DID WE LOSE? When the Church lost much of her sacred musical language, more than music disappeared. ✦ ━━━ QUICK READ ━━━ ✦ When people debate Catholic church music, the argument is often reduced to taste. Some people like Gregorian chant. Others prefer contemporary hymns. Some prefer the organ. Others prefer guitars. But something much greater than musical preference was at stake. For centuries, the Church cultivated a musical language recognizably her own. Gregorian chant, sacred polyphony, the organ, sacred silence, and generations of Catholic composition belonged to a world of worship deliberately set apart from ordinary life. That musical world did not recede for no reason. Changing ideas about participation, accessibility, cultural adaptation, and ecumenical openness helped create a very different musical culture. But this raises the deeper question: When the old musical world receded, what disappeared with it? We lost some of the distinctiveness that made Catholic worship …Okunengi

WHITE SMOKE 1958 -71- TWO POPES Second point: What follows is just as certain as what has been stated above, namely: - The 1958 conclave elected two Popes; we know of the first one because of the white smoke; we know of the second one because he appeared. - How could the cardinals of the conclave have proceeded to elect two Pontiffs? Indeed, this is impossible. If they elected the second, the first must necessarily have abdicated. - The successor to Pius XII, elected on October 26, 1958, therefore abdicated after accepting the election, and this abdication was recognized as valid by all the cardinals since the conclave continued to elect a new pontiff with the very participation as an elector of the one who had been elected.

A Quiet ICE Surge That Unfolded ‘Everywhere All at Once’ This Summer nytimes.com/2026/09/25/us/ice-surge-immigration-a… A review of dozens of incidents caught on camera sheds new light on a largely invisible crackdown. The reporters reviewed more than 50 incidents and interviewed more than two dozen lawyers, business owners, residents and detained immigrants and their family members for this story.

Unlike earlier high-profile raids that drew thousands of protesters into the streets of Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, the surge in arrests in June, July and August was captured mostly by grainy security camera footage, through cracked blinds and from behind closed doors. Arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this summer soared to record highs since the start of this Trump administration — with 43,000 in June, more than …Okunengi
Conservative Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts joins the media enthusiasm surrounding Leo XIV’s reception in France. His praise of Leo XIV becomes rather grandiloquent: “The guillotine is gone. Now a man in white appears, proudly raising the Cross.” His central point is more interesting: secular Europe may have lost much of its Christian memory without losing its religious hunger. Mutsaerts sees a generation rediscovering the Cross, the rosary, Gregorian chant, Augustine and Aquinas. And he lands on a memorable image: “The world has organized Christianity’s funeral many times. The remarkable thing is that the deceased keeps showing up.”

Vatican Synod commission proposes “complete revision” of canon law — including marriages without a priest. A 10-member Canonical Commission established as part of the Vatican’s Synod on Synodality has published today proposals to reshape canon law. The report says that in the long term there is an “obvious need for a complete revision” of the Codes. The goal is to reflect emerging “theological and ecclesiological issues.” Among the proposals: • Sensus fidei: Canon 749 would begin by stating that “the entire body of the Christian faithful… cannot err in matters of faith” when universal consent in faith and morals is manifested “from the bishops down to the last of the lay faithful.” • Duty to listen: Pastors would have a canonical “duty to listen to the opinion of the Christian faithful” through communal discernment. • Lay governance: Bishops could appoint lay “episcopal delegates” exercising delegated authority. Lay men and women could serve as diocesan judges and, in certain cases, as …Okunengi
Going Viral in the Worst Ways nytimes.com/…09/29/opinion/trump-mideast-diplomac… Sept. 29, 2026 By Thomas L. Friedman Opinion Columnist 阅读简体中文版閱讀繁體中文版 President Trump is such an awful human being that just writing about him feels degrading. What president would denigrate his predecessor in front of China’s leader the way Trump mocked Joe Biden, now suffering from cancer, by pointing out that a framed picture of an autopen was hanging in the White House instead of Biden’s portrait? Alas, though, when someone as morally warped as Trump — whose first secretary of state called him a “moron” — assumes this much unchecked power at the dawn of the Age of Artificial Intelligence, he can’t be ignored. Because right now Trump is leaving America exposed to dangerous viruses: digital, biological and diplomatic. Something bad is going to happen to us as a result. We and our children are going to pay for this, and not only at the gas pump. Let me start with the digital virus now on the loose. …Okunengi
Dutch Cardinal Wim Eijk condemned the euthanasia of a severely disabled Dutch child, nearly two years old, as a violation of human dignity. “Is it merciful to violate the fundamental dignity of the human person by ending their life?” he asked. Speaking to CruxNow.com in an interview on September 25, Eijk warned that “merciful” is often used to justify “ethically questionable actions.” He said ending the body is a “fundamental violation” of a person’s inherent dignity.
