Jesus asks us "to break ourselves" for others, Pope Francis said at Corpus Christi Mass yesterday (full text, full video). Those who let refugees drown in the Mediterranean "also drown God - every day, thousands of times", Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki of Cologne has said. Chilean police are investigating arson attacks on two churches on land claimed by the Mapuche indigenous group. Filipino president-elect Rodrigo Duterte is "not against the Church", his spokesman has insisted. Fr Anthony Ruff says Cardinal Sarah is wrong to suggest that the Council Fathers wanted ad orientem worship. Brian Fraga says Catholicism keeps growing in the southern United States. And ChurchPOP hails the "absolutely amazing" trailer for a documentary about the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. Follow me on Twitter @lukecoppen for updates throughout the day.
