It's sad when a bishop "doesn't serve, but struts like a peacock", Francis said at today's general audience (full text, short video, full video). The Pope has issued a "rescript" altering Church law on the resignation of bishops. Annulment procedures can be “so long and so weighty” that some Catholics simply give up, Pope Francis has said. David Gibson asks if schism is "a realistic possibility" following the family synod. Bishop Paul Butler offers a candid account of the synod from his perspective as an Evangelical Anglican. Fr Anthony Ruff OSB wonders what's happening at the Congregation for Divine Worship. And a card game featuring biblical characters drawn in anime style has become a surprise hit in Japan.
