At yesterday’s Angelus, Pope Francis announced an Extraordinary Missionary Month devoted to evangelisation (full text, full video). The Pope has asked Cardinal Robert Sarah to correct “some errors" in the understanding of Magnum Principium (Fr Anthony Ruff, Fr John Zuhlsdorf). A human rights group has accused Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rahi of making “irresponsible and ominous remarks” about refugees. Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer of São Paulo has backed a controversial food supplement for the poor. John Allen asks if the Church can save Malta (Archbishop Charles Scicluna). Zac Davis investigates what the Church can do to keep young adults. And Mark Wahlberg has said he prays for forgiveness for his role in Boogie Nights.
