The Catholic Church no longer uses "the language of ‘null and void'" when referring to Anglican orders, a Vatican official has said. Recent violence in Dublin is "despicable and evil", Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has said. Clericalism is "one of the greatest distortions of the Church in Latin America”, Pope Francis has said in a letter to the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. The Pope may be preparing to reconcile the SSPX to Rome by offering them a "personal prelature", reports CNA/EWTN News. Hans Küng says that Pope Francis has replied to his letter calling for debate about papal infallibility. Bishop Athanasius Schneider urges the Holy See to issue an "authentic interpretation" of Amoris Laetitia. And Joaquin Phoenix is reportedly being considered for the role of Jesus in a new film about Mary Magdalene. Follow me on Twitter @lukecoppen for updates throughout the day.
