Rupnik. Vatican Press Office Statement and some notes from MiL

We receive and publish below the Communication to journalists from the Director of the Press Office Matteo Bruni.

The generally well-informed blog "Missa in Latino" provides further details on the Rupnik case (he stated today that proceedings were going very well for him), and we cannot help but worry about a potential miscarriage of justice among cronies; however, the public reaction itself exerts pressure to ensure the matter is seen through to the end.

Child Sexual Abuse: The Family Is Not Guilty, It Is Betrayed

Deputy Rossignol is right to reject « paedophilia » for violence against children. It is more accurate to speak of « child sexual abuse crimes ».

Defend the family by being relentless toward those who desecrate it.

THE CHURCH’S GRAVE PROGNOSIS

‘Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely’

Good people’s silence enables evil’s rise in the Catholic Church. A culture of adultery and homosexuality is installed. In Europe and the Americas, the majority of bishops, priests, and seminarians are homosexuals.
