Pope Francis has held a private meeting with clerical abuse survivors in Chile. A Congolese bishop has hailed slain protesters as “heroes”. Roughly a quarter of American Catholic women attend Mass once a week or more, according to a new survey (Fr Matt Malone SJ). Andrea Gagliarducci, Christopher Lamb and Steve Skojec consider why the Vatican gave an honour to a Dutch abortion campaigner. Cardinal Gerhard Müller reflects on how “the pope’s Magisterium and the Tradition of the Church relate”. Chris Reibold explains why he left the faith as a teenager and returned as an adult. And Charles Collins asks who really took Pope Francis’s “fruit of war” photo. Follow me on Twitter @lukecoppen for updates throughout the day.
