Vatican City, Sep 3, 2017 / 04:16 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis’ upcoming visit to the South American country of Colombia Sept. 6-11 isn’t a political statement a Vatican official said, but about the renewal of the Catholic faith of Colombians in order that violence may be combatted at its root. “But I say immediately, to see the Pope’s visit as centering on the process of the peace accords is a mistake,” said Guzmán Carriquiry, vice president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.

Recently, OnePeterFive reported about Cardinal Robert Sarah – the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments – and his mid-August visit to the French region of the Vendée which still stands in history for a courageous resistance against the French Revolution’s attempts to stamp out the Catholic Faith. We had then translated parts of a 12 August homily delivered by the African cardinal in Puy du Fou, an historical site of the Vendée.

A Catholic archdiocese in California allowed a pro-abortion U.S. Congresswoman to speak at its Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels Plaza this week, despite pro-life advocates’ urgings. U.S. Rep.

Removal of a number of statues and other smaller Catholic icons from the campus of San Domenico School in San Anselmo has raised concerns among some parents. In an email to the school’s board of directors, Dominican Sisters of San Rafael and the head of school, Shannon Fitzpatrick objected to the removal of the statues and other steps the school has taken in an effort to make the school more inclusive. “Articulating an inclusive foundation appears to mean letting go of San Domenico’s 167-year tradition as a Dominican Catholic school and being both afraid and ashamed to celebrate one’s heritage and beliefs,” wrote Fitzpatrick, whose 8-year-old son attends the school. She added, “In our time here, the word ‘Catholic’ has…Continue Reading

With philosophical precision, Seifert pinp
