Benedict XVI named six new cardinals at the end of his general audience this morning, which was dedicated to the meaning of faith (analysis by Rocco Palmo, video). A Filipino bishop has criticised a report by the United Nations calling for prostitution to be legalised in the Philippines. The synod of bishops on the new evangelisation has sent a message of solidarity to a Chinese bishop unable to travel to Rome. Four news organisations have asked a judge in the United States to release papers relating to a major donation to Legion of Christ. Fr George Rutler argues that Pope Pius XII fulfilled his wish to be a martyr "without nails".
