A controversial carved image of a pregnant woman was present at a Way of the Cross in Rome on Saturday. Fr Dwight Longenecker compares Pachamama and the Pietà. Cardinal Christoph Schönborn says he was surprised that the “permanent diaconate is not so much present in Amazonia, while there is much discussion about the viri probati”. Katy Bagley explains how “dedicating 45 minutes a week to be with the Blessed Sacrament has changed my life”. And the Czech Republic’s “Church of Bones” is enforcing a selfie ban.
