Church authorities are examining a possible Eucharistic miracle after a Host placed in water reportedly failed to dissolve and subsequently developed reddish stains that “could be blood”, the Cathedral Parish of El Niño Dios in Cuilapa, Guatemala, has announced on August 22. The parish is the cathedral of the Diocese of Santa Rosa de Lima. The incident began on July 30, during a Missionary Eucharistic Week. A priest was celebrating the Eucharist at a private school when he noticed that a teenage student, after receiving Holy Communion, was removing the Host from his mouth. The priest intervened before the student could throw it to the ground. Following the procedure used in such cases, the priest placed the Host in a glass of water in the chapel of the parish house so that it could dissolve. When the chapel was cleaned the following Thursday, however, a parish worker found that the Host had not dissolved and noticed reddish stains which appeared as though they might be blood. A priest …Okuninzi

Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of ’s-Hertogenbosch spoke with AdVaticanum.com on August 22 about the Synod and the decline of Catholicism in the Netherlands. Main quotes. - “Walking together” is valuable only if the Church knows where she is walking. The destination is not increased participation but Christ. - Consultation, participation, pastoral structures and synodal methods all have their place. Once the means start occupying more attention than the end, something has become inverted. - The Church possesses something unusual among institutions: she has received a Revelation which she did not invent and cannot rewrite. - The missing words in the Synod are repentance and conversion. - The synodal process did not create the Western European crisis. But after several years, there is little evidence that it has found an effective remedy for it. The medicine resembles the disease! - Nobody needs Christianity in order to learn that meetings should be inclusive. - Dutch statistics report …Okuninzi
In Italy, a Beach Club Run by Nuns Is in Jeopardy nytimes.com/2026/08/19/world/europe/italy-nuns-be… The Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary have hosted beachgoers in the town of Spotorno for decades. But change is coming.
Le suore in «guerra santa» per lo stabilimento Bagni Garrone a Spotorno, il comune lo mette all'asta Un gruppo di suore italiane si sta opponendo ai piani del consiglio comunale di espropriare il loro stabilimento balneare. Si tratta dell'ultimo episodio del lungo dibattito sul monopolio delle concessioni private lungo le coste italiane. La disputa, definita "guerra santa" da alcuni organi di stampa locali, riporta il Guardian, è scoppiata quando un tratto di spiaggia di 50 metri presso Bagni Garrone, una località balneare nella città costiera ligure di Spotorno gestita dalle suore dell'ordine delle Suore di Carità di Santa Maria, è stato messo all'asta pubblica dalle autorità, nel tentativo di conformarsi alle normative europee sulle concessioni balneari e ai regolamenti regionali sulle quote di spiagge gratuite. Le suore gestiscono il resort dal 1946, essendo state esentate dalle normali normative commerciali in quanto utilizzavano i proventi per scopi benefici, tra cui il finanziamento …Okuninzi
By Elisabetta Povoledo Reporting from Rome Aug. 19, 2026 It’s been billed as the Sisters of Charity versus the mayor. For 80 years or more, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary have occupied a small slice of terrestrial paradise, running one of thousands of beach clubs along Italy’s coast. But this longtime arrangement in Spotorno, an Italian town on the Ligurian Sea, may soon come to an end. The nuns’ beach, like all the Italian coastline, is publicly owned, and local officials say their lease will soon be put up for auction, along with those of other beachfront clubs. Some Spotorno residents are unhappy about it, saying that the nuns had supported the community for many years. Italian news outlets have picked up the story, several of them using variations on “Holy War” in their headlines. But Mayor Mattia Fiorini says he is simply trying to enforce regional and European Union laws that have been ignored for two decades. “Every Italian story seems a soap opera,” he said, adding, “We …Okuninzi
Today, Vice President J.D. Vance attended a Mass in the Roman rite with his family at Old St. Mary’s Church in Cincinnati, reports Crisis Magazine editor Eric Sammons on x.com, who was present. “It was nice to see J.D. Vance and his beautiful family at Mass this morning,” Sammons wrote on X on August 23. Sammons said Vance lives nearby and that his family attends several Cincinnati-area parishes when in town. He added that this was Vance’s first visit to Old St. Mary’s since becoming vice president. Vance’s presence brought additional security. According to Sammons, Secret Service agents screened everyone entering the church with handheld wands and checked bags. Sammons said the screening caused only a minute or two of waiting, describing the agents as “professional, efficient, and quite friendly. He also noted that he had heard Vance say his family deliberately varies which churches it attends to avoid repeatedly inconveniencing parishioners at any one parish. #newsBibrwcfcti
J.D. Vance attended a traditional Latin Mass with his family at Old St. Mary’s Church in Cincinnati on August 23. Although Vance has previously said he is not particularly devoted to the Latin Mass, he has criticized restrictions on the traditional liturgy. His attendance attracted attention because it is unusual for a sitting U.S. vice president to participate in a Mass celebrated according to the 1962 missal.

Leo XIV: "Faith Is Not Given Once and for All" At today’s Angelus, Leo XIV appeared to blur the distinction between the objective content of the Faith and its subjective appropriation: “Faith is not something given to us once and for all. Rather, we continually need to rediscover the face of Christ.” He then urged the faithful not to retreat into religious certainties, adding: “When it comes to the Christian faith, we may be content with […] what has been handed down to us.” Instead, Leo advocated “friendship with Jesus” through an “ever-new encounter”: “This may also ask us to follow unfamiliar paths and to make choices different from those we had imagined. This is true both for our personal journey and for the journey of the Church, as well as for our pastoral choices, when we may sometimes think that it is enough simply to continue doing things as we have always done them.”
Two short video quotes from today's Angelus: Leo XIV offers unusual definitions of faith, suggesting that focusing on what has been handed down to us is insufficient.
"when we may sometimes think that it is enough simply to continue doing things as we have always done them" Do not simply continue going to the Novus Ordo. Instead, attend the Tridentine Mass!

Does Leo XIV Embrace Borderless Globalism? “People always come before borders, before definitions and institutions,” said Leo XIV at the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples in Rimini, Italy, on Saturday. “This realization stands at the center of Christianity,” he continued with more platitudes, adding: “Evil is not fought with evil. It is time to oppose the false realism that rearms minds, words, and nations with the realism of mercy.”

Revelation 21:21 indicates, albeit metaphorically, that Heaven has 'pearly gates'. I suppose he is in favor of the gates of Hell prevailing against those, as well.

On August 25, 2016, Argentina awoke to the news that a monastery of Discalced Carmelites in Nogoyá, in the province of Entre Ríos, had been raided. And as details of the abuses of power taking place there began to emerge, more than one person thought, amid surprise and horror: “This could be a series.” Ten years later, that intuition became a reality. Cautiva will premiere next month on HBO, TNT and Flow. Once it premieres, many people will have the opportunity to enter the little-known world of a cloistered monastery and discover, through fiction, the events that took place at the Carmelite monastery in Nogoyá between 2007 and 2016, during which time Silvia and Roxana were held captive by former prioress Isabel Toledo, who was sentenced to three years in prison in 2019 for these acts. And while the series opens the doors of that cloistered world to the general public, it also allowed me to enter another world that had been completely unknown to me until then: that of a large-scale …Okuninzi
