Enzo Bianchi, founder of the Monastic Community of Bose, died at the Molinette Hospital in Turin at the age of 83 after kidney failure led to a metabolic coma. Bianchi was a monk but never became a priest. A prolific author, he wrote extensively on Scripture, spirituality and contemporary Christianity. He addressed Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox audiences and became a regular interlocutor of secular intellectuals and non-believers. Bose: From Farmhouse to a Center of Ecumenism Bianchi was born on March 3, 1943, in Castel Boglione, Piedmont. His mother died when he was eight, and he grew up with his atheist and communist father. After studying accounting and beginning economics studies, he chose a different path. In 1965, he settled in a farmhouse at Bose, near Magnano in the province of Biella, arriving on December 8, the final day of the Second Vatican Council. Three years later, others joined him.

Cardinal Cupich has allowed heterodox Fr. Michael Pfleger, who has conducted homosexual ‘blessings’ and endorsed ‘women’s ordination,’ to return as senior pastor of a Chicago parish
Rev. Michael Pfleger, 77, was reinstated effective August 24 after the Archdiocese of Chicago's Independent Review Board completed its investigation. He is known nationally for his progressive activism. Cardinal Blase Cupich, 77, said the board, assisted by the Office of Child Protection and outside investigators, concluded there was “no reason to believe” Pfleger was guilty of the allegation. Cupich accepted the recommendation and returned him to ministry at St. Sabina. According to the Chicago Sun-Times reporting, a woman alleged that Pfleger sexually abused her when she was a girl attending St. Sabina's school sometime between 1993 and 1995. The allegation surfaced this July, and Pfleger was removed from ministry on July 11 while it was investigated. Rev. Pfleger denied it emphatically from the outset, calling it an “absolute lie.” Under archdiocesan policy, the allegation was reported to police, and the accuser was offered assistance through the church's Victim Assistance Ministry. …Ọzọ

Leo XIV personally intervened to stop VaticanNews.va from using the artwork of Father Marko Rupnik, according to Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes. Rupnik has been accused by numerous women of fornication and sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse. In an interview with Paris Match (August 31), Bishop Micas described a private audience with Leo XIV in June 2025. The pope asked him how Lourdes was dealing with Rupnik’s asymmetrical mosaics and the big black eyes. Leo XIV supported the bishop’s approach to cover the mosaics. Then, Leo XIV mentioned that he had instructed the Holy See’s communications office to stop using Rupnik’s mosaics to illustrate articles. “He is truly very determined on this issue,” Bishop Micas said. Rupnik’s work quietly disappeared from VaticanNews.va in June 2025, shortly after Leo XIV’s election. However, the canonical case against the Slovenian priest remains ongoing and is clearly delayed, even years after the allegations against him became public …Ọzọ
Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the month of September is for the care of water. “Water is a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through Baptism. We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders," the Holy Father expressed in his prayer released September 1 on the occasion of the Season of Creation. He added a plea to become “pilgrims of the essential, capable of living simply, denouncing waste and pollution, and defending the right of every person to drink without fear and without inequality.”
Leo XIV’s Prayer Intention Is … for the Care of Water: In September 2026, Leo XIV invites Catholics around the world to pray for the care of water. In his monthly prayer intention, he reminds Christians that access to clean water should be a right. “We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders.” He encourages Christians to reject waste and pollution and to use natural resources responsibly. Caring for water, he says, is both an expression of love for creation and an act of solidarity with the poor.
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of September is to pray for care of water: “Lord of Life, you have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We thank you because it is also a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through baptism. Today, we ask you to teach us to safeguard it with gratitude, justice, and responsibility. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. We see with pain, so many brothers and sisters, who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. May your Spirit make us pilgrims of the essential, able to live with simplicity, denouncing waste and pollution, defending the right of every brother and sister to drink without fear and without inequality. May our care for water, be a sign of love for the Creator, and a commitment to the lives of …Ọzọ

France Requires Life Insurers to Cover Assisted Deaths: France’s new assisted-dying law requires life insurers to pay benefits when a policyholder dies through euthanasia.

After repeated Senate opposition, the National Assembly approved the euthanasia law on July 15. The Constitutional Council upheld the contested provisions on August 14. The law was promulgated on August 18.

Sánchez weist Marokko-Schuld zurück und beschuldigt Russland und Israel Spaniens Präsident Pedro Sánchez hat Marokko von jeglicher Verantwortung für den massiven Zustrom von Migranten nach Ceuta freigesprochen und hat ausdrücklich „Russland, Israel und eine reaktionäre internationale Gruppierung“ als Verursacher der Verbreitung von „Falschmeldungen“ in den sozialen Medien über diese Situation genannt. Er hat auch betont, dass der Nationale Nachrichtendienst (CNI), im Gegensatz zu dem, was Ministerin Margarita Robles behauptet, keine Informationen über „die Schwere der Krise, die wir erleben würden“ geliefert habe.

Cardinal Fernando Chomali, archbishop of Santiago, Chile, recently reflected on this new trend: “‘Aura farming’ is a desperate cry from young people to be seen, heard, valued, loved, and acknowledged. It’s a different version of the ‘therian’ trend [a person who psychologically identifies with an animal], reflecting the same worrying phenomenon: Many young people feel lonely! And, regrettably, little is said about that,” he commented on X. In another post, the cardinal advised young people: “The best way to aura farm is to approach life with hope and joy. I invite you to study assiduously and to prepare your body and soul well to serve others. What better way to aura farm than by thinking big and building a more just country! Aura for and by Chile!” he commented.
Saint Verena | The Egyptian Saint Who Cared for Switzerland's Sick & Poor | September 1 Today, September 1, we remember Saint Verena, an early Christian woman traditionally believed to have travelled from Egypt to what is now Switzerland, where she became known for prayer, charity and caring for the sick. Her story is unusual. She wasn't remembered for ruling a kingdom or preaching to enormous crowds. Instead, Verena served people through something wonderfully practical: She cared for their bodies as well as their souls. FROM EGYPT TO EUROPE According to tradition, Verena was born in Egypt during the 3rd century and was associated with Christians connected to the famous Theban Legion. She eventually travelled into Roman Europe and settled in the region of present-day Switzerland. Traditions particularly associate her with Solothurn and later Zurzach. A LIFE OF PRAYER AND SERVICE Verena is remembered as a consecrated virgin who lived simply and devoted herself to God. But her …Ọzọ
and the Third Temple Project: At the end of August Trump said again that without him there would have been no Zionist State: "These are very violent, evil people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, Israel would be gone. If I weren't president, Israel would be gone. There would be no Israel. And there would probably be no Middle East... As soon as the shooting started, they started aiming at Saudi Arabia, at Qatar, at UAE, at Bahrain, at Kuwait. Everybody was shocked... That means that if they had had a nuclear weapon, they would have fired it. So, I think the Middle East would have essentially been gone. But Israel definitely would have been gone" source: "Israel would be gone": Trump speculates on the … In the meantime at the end of July The Nascent Sanhedrin, under the noble patronage of late Lubatvicher Rebbe (Mr. Trump took a pilgrimage to his grave some time ago) issued the following resolutions: "The Sanhedrin’s secretariat released the written ruling, translated here and divided …Ọzọ
