A Spanish judge has charged 10 priests with abuse in a case brought to light after Pope Francis contacted a victim. A Swiss court has given Italian prosecutors access to information about a secret Vatican bank account suspected of being used for fraud. We need to pray for "the desire to follow God’s will", Francis said at morning Mass yesterday (video). The Vatican has published the Pope's calendar of liturgical celebrations for February to April. Gregory Orfalea says that, on balance, Junipero Serra deserves to be canonised by Pope Francis in September (Tony Platt disagrees). Paul Kengor suggests that Francis is entering "phase two" of his pontificate. And Fr John Zuhlsdorf explains how to respond when a bishop gives you a friendly punch on the arm.
