Those in authority must not “lead a double life”, Pope Francis said at yesterday’s Angelus (full text, full video). The Pope has criticised “discriminatory and xenophobic reactions” to migrants “in countries of ancient Christian tradition”. An American deacon was stabbed to death on Friday. Cardinal Pietro Parolin will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the US bishops’ conference in Baltimore. Fr Raymond de Souza says a “culture of rebuke” has taken hold in the Church. Mary Rezac asks if Pope Francis will approve married priests. And Joseph Pearce explains why he thinks the Benedict Option is “actually happening”.
