Venice Patriarch Francesco Moraglia supports a proposed mosque for the Muslim/Bangladeshi community in Venice. The Venice city administration, led by Mayor Simone Venturini, had not approved the proposed mosque in August. On September 15, Patriarch Moraglia expressed support for Muslims having a place of worship: “If a religion respects human dignity and the most vulnerable, then it has the right to have a place of worship.”

The Catholic Decline: The Decline of Catholic Mass Attendance Has Mass attendance been in decline since the 1970s? Yes. We all know it has. And I already know the responses: “It’s because of secularism. The French Revolution. People stopped believing in God. Pornography. Politics. The sexual revolution.” Okay, yes. Those things absolutely matter, and I’m not denying any of that. But can we just be honest here? The Mass was changed, and after those changes, Mass attendance declined. Can we just admit that? Why are we so afraid to even acknowledge it? I’m not saying the changes to the Mass are the ONLY reason people stopped going to church. Obviously, this is a much bigger and more complicated issue. But if we’re going to have an honest discussion about the decline of Catholicism, we can’t pretend that the changes to the liturgy are completely irrelevant. You can believe that the Novus Ordo is valid. You can love the Novus Ordo. You can believe that Vatican II was necessary. Fine. But none …Ebisinga

The home of Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, in Florence was burgled while he was in Britain. The Albanian cardinal was received by King Charles III at Balmoral Castle on September 15. According to Corriere.it, thieves targeted the Curia-owned apartment in Piazza Duomo where Simoni lives with his nephew Tonin and his family. When his nephew called with the news, the cardinal’s first concern was not the money: “Did they leave the statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje? And Padre Pio?” Told both were untouched, Simoni replied simply: “Allora poco male” - “Then, little harm done.” The burglars smashed through a wall with chisels, forced open an armoured door and ransacked wardrobes, boxes and luggage, leaving their tools on the landing. The haul, estimated at €30,000, included cash, gold, jewellery, medals and a gold seal. Strangely, Simoni’s residence permit was also taken. Tonin and his wife had left around 1 p.m. and returned at 11 p.m. to find the apartment ransacked. Tonin believes the family …Ebisinga
An incredible debacle: Pakistani Christians could face renewed persecution following the Archbishop of Canterbury’s decision to withdraw an honour to a leading Muslim cleric
French military chaplain Romain Ghandou has sparked a political storm, with a prominent left-wing politician calling for his imprisonment. The video is from a 7 Oct 2025 Mass at Carcassonne Cathedral, before soldiers of the 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (3e RPIMa). “Calm down, leftists! Breathe through your nose,” Ghandou said, drawing laughter and applause. He attacked “liars,” “incompetents” and those who “lecture everyone.” He urged soldiers to “keep fighting” and have “the courage of your convictions,” warning that otherwise France would be ridiculed and “others will take our place.” Le Canard enchaîné publicised the footage Friday, sparking outrage on the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), alleged “racist insults” and said: “His place is in prison.” Le Canard linked the sermon to the “Great Replacement,” though Ghandou does not use that phrase in the published excerpt.

September 18th - Saint of the Day: Saint Eustorgius of Milan, Bishop The Bishop Who Carried the Three Kings Home Did you know the relics of the Magi, the Wise Men who followed the star to Bethlehem, have their own epic saga? It starts with Saint Eustorgius, a 4th-century bishop who hauled them from Constantinople to Milan in a marble sarcophagus pulled by oxen. When the oxen collapsed at the city gates, he built a basilica on the spot. Centuries later, Emperor Barbarossa sacked Milan and took the relics to Cologne, where one of the largest Gothic cathedrals ever built rose around them. In this story: a bishop praised by Saint Athanasius as a "defender of the faith" , a 700-year-old empty tomb, a dramatic homecoming, and a bell tower crowned with a star instead of a cross.
