Cuba's Ladies in White have formally requested a meeting with Pope Francis during his visit in September. The Pope has accepted the resignation of Brazilian Archbishop Antônio Carlos Altieri after he was accused of extravagance and “rubricism”. A Mexican bishop has said it's "very naïve" to think drug lord "El Chapo" Guzmán escaped prison without official collusion. Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill has secured the release of a Protestant pastor in Iran. Eileen Flynn investigates "the Vatican bank scandal nobody is talking about". Michael Novak says that of the four popes he has observed closely none "has been so frank about his personal limitations" as Francis. And Fr Jim McDermott SJ explains what's really happening in the dispute involving Katy Perry, nuns and Los Angeles archdiocese. Follow me on Twitter @lukecoppen for updates throughout the day.
