Leo XIV increases salaries for cardinals and senior Vatican officials. Today, Leo XIV has abolished the pay cuts introduced by Francis in 2021. Francis had ordered a 10% salary cut for cardinals working for the Holy See and an 8% reduction for senior officials and curial secretaries as the Vatican faced financial difficulties. Other clergy and religious employees initially faced a 3% cut, which was abolished in 2025. Leo XIV’s new motu proprio, effective September 1, abrogates the 2021 decree in its entirety. He claimed the measures had been necessary due to the “exceptional challenge of the pandemic,” but could now be superseded as the Holy See and Vatican City pursue economic sustainability “through different instruments.” #newsRxifznfisa
Leo XIV memerintahkan pembangunan gedung di Vatikan untuk menampung semakin banyak koleksi. Dalam sebuah surat edaran yang diterbitkan hari ini, Leo XIV telah mengumumkan pembangunan gedung baru di dalam Kota Vatikan untuk Arsip dan Perpustakaan Apostolik. Koleksi yang sangat besar dan terus bertambah telah melampaui kapasitas penyimpanan yang ada. Leo XIV menyebutkan adanya “peningkatan yang signifikan” dalam koleksi bibliografi dan produksi dokumen Tahta Suci. Belum ada pengumuman mengenai anggaran, arsitek, dimensi bangunan, jadwal konstruksi, maupun tanggal penyelesaian. Kompleks tersebut akan dibangun di kawasan Fontana dell’Autoparco. Ruang akan dibagi secara merata antara Arsip dan Perpustakaan, dengan sebagian disisihkan untuk layanan Kota Vatikan lainnya. Keputusan ini mengubah rencana yang disetujui oleh Paus Fransiskus pada tahun 2024, yang semula merencanakan tempat penyimpanan baru di kawasan Lateran yang berstatus ekstrateritorial. Skala proyek ini sangat besar: Arsip …Lebih
Leo XIV has Vatican building constructed to accumulate more and more things. In a chirograph issued today, Leo XIV has announced a new building inside Vatican City for the Apostolic Archive and Library. The vast and growing collections have exhausted existing storage capacity. Leo XIV cites the “considerable increase” in the Holy See’s bibliographical holdings and documentary output. No budget, architect, building dimensions, construction timetable or completion date has been announced. The complex will rise in the Fontana dell’Autoparco area. Space will be divided equitably between the Archive and Library, with part reserved for other Vatican City services. The decision modifies a plan approved by Francis in 2024, which envisaged new storage in the extraterritorial Lateran area. The scale is enormous: the Apostolic Archive holds more than 600 archival fonds spanning roughly 12 centuries and over 85 km of shelving. The Library preserves around 180,000 manuscripts and archival documents …Lebih
The Visitation nuns are preparing to leave Nevers, France, after more than four centuries. The remaining sisters are emptying their monastery. Furniture, crockery, tables, cupboards and other belongings are being sold in two “vide-couvent” sales, on September 12 and 19. The departure follows a steep decline in numbers. By early 2025 only four nuns remained. On March 15, 2025 two elderly sisters left. At the time, remaining Sister Marie-Odile stressed that this did not yet mean closure, joking that the priests’ violet vestments were “not those of a funeral.” Eighteen months later, the disposal of the convent’s contents signals the community’s approaching departure. The exact date on which the last sisters will leave has not been announced, nor has the future of the building. The Visitation Order was founded in Annecy in 1610 by St Francis de Sales and St Jane Frances de Chantal. Visitandines established a monastery in Nevers in 1620, making it one of the order’s earliest foundations. …Lebih

Even as pope, Leo XIV uses his time to help his family with everyday problems. His brother John Prevost recently bought a new computer but could not get it to work properly. He called his brother at the Vatican, who explained step by step how to solve the problem. John also revealed that Leo XIV helped him with his tax return last year. In an interview with Italian broadcaster TG5 for Leo XIV’s 71st birthday today, John Prevost spoke about his brother’s life as pope. The brothers last met in July, when John joined Leo XIV during his summer stay at Castel Gandolfo. They spent ten days together, much of it at the papal summer residence. John said they relaxed by the pool, read books, took naps, watched television and went swimming. Leo XIV also took his relatives to several monasteries and showed them where he lives in the Vatican. Asked how Leo XIV is coping with his new role, John said his brother “hasn’t collapsed.” He described him as facing the situation with humor, strength and …Lebih
Stephen Kokx: From Integrity to Conspiracy I helped him when he was down, warned him about his editor, and walked away. Months later I became the “chaos agent” in a story he admits he cannot prove. “…Integrity can still decide what it wants to be. It can become a serious Catholic publication willing to examine modern errors while remaining governed by evidence, charity and the hierarchy of Catholic truths. Or it can become a bunker in which race, Jews, hidden power, political fatalism and factional loyalty increasingly determine who counts as a real traditional Catholic. Kokx has begun describing the latter course as the future. I think it is a dead end…” “I do not need Stephen Kokx’s permission to criticize Leo. I do not need Integrity’s permission to defend the SSPX. I do not need American Reform’s racial framework to reject Vatican II. I do not need “the Jewish question” to explain the crisis in the Church. I do not need a wealthy backer to tell me which stories matter. And I certainly …Lebih

Bishop Dianin conveyed personal greetings from the president of the Italian bishops, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi. Theologian Fr. Luca …Lebih
Para biarawati Ordo Visitation sedang bersiap-siap meninggalkan Nevers, Prancis, setelah lebih dari empat abad. Para suster yang tersisa sedang mengosongkan biara mereka. Perabotan, peralatan makan, meja, lemari, dan barang-barang lainnya dijual dalam dua acara “vide-couvent” pada tanggal 12 dan 19 September. Kepergian ini terjadi setelah jumlah anggota biara mengalami penurunan drastis. Pada awal 2025, hanya tersisa empat suster. Pada 15 Maret 2025, dua suster lanjut usia telah pergi. Saat itu, Suster Marie-Odile yang masih tinggal menekankan bahwa hal ini belum berarti penutupan, sambil bercanda bahwa jubah ungu para imam “bukanlah jubah pemakaman.” Delapan belas bulan kemudian, pelelangan isi biara tersebut menandakan bahwa kepergian komunitas tersebut semakin dekat. Tanggal pasti kepergian para suster terakhir belum diumumkan, begitu pula masa depan bangunan tersebut. Ordo Visitation didirikan di Annecy pada tahun 1610 oleh St. Fransiskus de Sales dan St. Jane Frances de Chantal. …Lebih
“JUST ONCE” CAN BECOME A PRISON: A POWERFUL WARNING TO YOUNG PEOPLE | SG News Actor, filmmaker and Catholic activist Eduardo Verástegui is drawing attention with a strong message urging young people not to experiment with drugs. His warning focuses on a decision that can initially appear harmless: trying a substance “just once.” Verástegui argues that experimentation can gradually develop into repeated use and, for some people, dependence and addiction — affecting physical health, mental wellbeing, relationships, family life and a person’s future. Modern addiction science supports the seriousness of that concern. According to the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse, repeated drug use can alter brain systems involved in reward, stress and self-control. Over time, those changes can contribute to compulsive drug use even when a person understands that the behavior is causing harm. Addiction, however, should not simply be dismissed as a lack of character or willpower. Medical experts …Lebih
„NUR EINMAL“ KANN ZUM GEFÄNGNIS WERDEN: EINE EINDRINGLICHE WARNUNG AN JUNGE MENSCHEN | SG News Der Schauspieler, Filmemacher und katholische Aktivist Eduardo Verástegui macht mit einer eindringlichen Botschaft auf sich aufmerksam und appelliert an junge Menschen, nicht mit Drogen zu experimentieren. Seine Warnung konzentriert sich auf eine Entscheidung, die zunächst harmlos erscheinen mag: eine Substanz „nur einmal“ auszuprobieren. Verástegui argumentiert, dass Experimentieren allmählich zu wiederholtem Konsum und bei manchen Menschen zu Abhängigkeit und Sucht führen kann – mit negativen Auswirkungen auf die körperliche Gesundheit, das psychische Wohlbefinden, Beziehungen, das Familienleben und die Zukunft. Die moderne Suchtforschung bestätigt die Ernsthaftigkeit dieser Befürchtung. Laut dem US-amerikanischen National Institute on Drug Abuse kann wiederholter Drogenkonsum die Gehirnsysteme verändern, die für Belohnung, Stress und Selbstkontrolle zuständig sind. Mit der Zeit können diese …Lebih
Leo XIV menaikkan gaji para kardinal dan pejabat senior Vatikan. Hari ini, Leo XIV telah mencabut pemotongan gaji yang diberlakukan oleh Paus Fransiskus pada tahun 2021. Paus Fransiskus sebelumnya memerintahkan pemotongan gaji sebesar 10% bagi para kardinal yang bekerja di Tahta Suci serta pengurangan sebesar 8% bagi pejabat senior dan sekretaris kuria, seiring dengan kesulitan keuangan yang dihadapi Vatikan. Para klerus dan pegawai religius lainnya awalnya menghadapi pemotongan sebesar 3%, yang kemudian dicabut pada tahun 2025. Motu proprio baru Leo XIV, yang berlaku mulai 1 September, mencabut seluruh isi dekrit tahun 2021. Ia menyatakan bahwa langkah-langkah tersebut memang diperlukan karena “tantangan luar biasa akibat pandemi,” namun kini dapat digantikan seiring dengan upaya Tahta Suci dan Kota Vatikan untuk mencapai keberlanjutan ekonomi “melalui berbagai instrumen.” Terjemahan AI
Spaghetti and meatballs isn’t an Italian dish But Naples, we have something better: “The cuzzitiello”! It didn’t start as street food It was a habit at home, almost always on Sunday morning, while mum or nonna made the ragù, the hungriest person in the family would take the still-warm “pane cafone”, pull out the crumb, and fill that crust with sauce and meatballs That heel of bread became a bowl Today, it is one of the classics of Neapolitan street food
In the past it was food for poor families (yes, nothing of more expensive attractions like cheese or meat). But today , at the current price of bread, it ceased to be such. ETS and other EU communist regulations are forcing people to rethink their traditional cuisines. Also the diet for fast periods. For example, fish was the most popular component of the Catholic fast in Europe. But, now euro-communism made fish a luxury product. It is visible e.g. in Poland when it comes to the Christmas Eve fast dish - carp. Carp was one of the cheapest fish/meal in socialist Poland. But now, the prices - especially if you want to buy local carp not imported one, are comparable with... venison. Thus, carp, becoming quite luxurious, lost all its sense as the dish for the fast. On the other hand, the sellers still think that nevertheless people will buy the product due to the sentiment from the childhood or whatever. The similar process is happening with other species of fish, even simple herrings, …Lebih
