The Church has been sent “to bring the Gospel to the streets”, Pope Francis said at yesterday’s Angelus (full text, full video). An Ordinary Public Consistory is expected to approve the canonisation of Blessed John Henry Newman today. Some 200 priests have protested against the Vatican’s decision to reinstate Cardinal George Alencherry. Robert Mickens argues that Francis “used the pretext of curia reform to set in motion a profound and radical reform even of the papacy”. Former pastor David Sanborn explains how he came to grasp devotion to the Sacred Heart. Philip Jenkins says the Coptic martyrs will outlive ISIS. And Eve Tushnet recommends eight Catholic horror films. Follow me on Twitter @lukecoppen for updates throughout the day.
