In the context of the antipope Leo's visit to Algeria, Bishop Rey protests against the treatment of Catholics in Algeria, unceremoniously excluded from an event promoting a false 'communion between Christians and Muslims'.
The scandal involving former Jesuit Marko Rupnik continues to grow without clearing up key uncertainties.
