A judge in El Salvador has issued an arrest warrant for a man suspected of ordering the murder of St Oscar Romero.

The US bishops will gather for a week-long retreat in January.

The clash between Moscow and Constantinople is a source of “pain”, Georgian Patriarch Ilia II and Vatican Archbishop Paul Gallagher have said in a joint statement.

Nicole Winfield says the Vatican is “laying the groundwork” for a debate on married priests.

Rita Ferrone argues that Archbishop Viganò is a “modern-day Savonarola”.

Bishop Đức Đạo suggests it’s “more difficult to be a bishop or a priest in Europe than in Vietnam”.

And David La Mar wonders when exactly the Church began.
