Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin has arrived in Dili, where he will sign a concordat between the Holy See and East Timor. Indonesia has honoured two European Jesuits for their "extraordinary service" to the world's most populous Muslim nation. The US Embassy to the Holy See has begun its move to "a larger, more modern facility" next to the US Embassy to Italy. Peter Berger argues that a New York Times piece on ISIS's "theology of rape" downplays assaults on Christians. Robert Mickens says a new book seeking to "demolish" Cardinal Walter Kasper's proposals on Communion for the remarried could be published soon. Mary Jo Anderson reports on what was said at a series of Vatican "closed-door workshops" ahead of the family synod. And Brantly Millegan presents a pictorial history of the papal tiara.
