Vatican doctrinal chief Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller has urged the Archdiocese of Freiburg to revise its new policy of inviting divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Communion. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila has thanked everyone who has supported the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in an emotional interview with Vatican Radio (audio). North Korea executed several people simply for possessing Bibles last Sunday, a South Korean news agency has reported.
