Leo XIV appoints Archbishop: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Father Mario León Dorado, 52 — a T-shirt guy and an adherent of the heretical Abu Dhabi program — as Coadjutor Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco. Born in Madrid, Dorado joined the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1996 and was ordained a priest in 2001. He has served as Apostolic Prefect of Western Sahara since 2013. “The Church is called to disappear” In September 2022, he wrote a reflection on his almost two decades of missionary work in an extraordinarily small Catholic community. His experience is that authentic love makes it possible to welcome the other without the 'need to change him'. Dorado draws his own conclusion: “The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.” He explained his ecclesiology with the explicit analogy to John the Baptist's words in John 3:30, "He must increase, but I must decrease."

Love God More, Fear Nothing Else The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of fearing God, not in a servile sense, but with filial fear, which is rooted in love. This fear of offending God, born out of love, leads to confidence and peace, even in the face of death. By focusing on loving God and living a life for Him, we can overcome fear and find true freedom. Fr.

Brazilian Bishop believes in "Goddess" and embraces "all sexual diversity": Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes, 64, of Brejo, Maranhão, presided over a Eucharist at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Conception on September 7, Brazil’s Independence Day. After Communion and before the final blessing, two young men recited the “Creed of the Youth of the Ecclesial Base Communities.” Developed in 2016, the text speaks of a “God/Goddess,” described as “liberating and revolutionary.” This creed explicitly rejects belief in a “hierarchical Church” while “embracing all sexual diversity.” Before the recitation, Bishop Mendes introduced the creed as a “supplication from the youth of Latin America, who stand before God asking him to come to meet us.”
A heterodox creed invoking a “God/Goddess” and featuring left-wing political language was recited at the annual “Cry of the Excluded” Mass celebrated by Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes of Brejo, Brazil.

Different [contradicting] religions are needed to “broaden the horizon of truth, according to the model of the polyhedron,” Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, said during a September 11 address at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA). He urged believers to welcome “as a gift, the action of God in the other religions,” adding that in their “precepts and doctrines” is reflected “a ray of the truth that enlightens all men.” Such “reciprocal appreciation,” he said, “will enrich our own identity through the reception of the other.” Koovakad presented the different religions as jointly contributing to the construction of the “City of God.” Each person, he added, must ask how to collaborate in this “common project of humanity.” Koovakad dreams of “universal fraternity”.
“These are not times for entrenching ourselves in partial and fragmented visions of reality. We need one another in order to broaden the horizon of truth, according to the model of the polyhedron, which is capable of incorporating the totality of visions and perspectives in the search for the common good, without anyone being excluded or discarded.” - Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, delivered the address on September 11, 2026, at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA) in Buenos Aires.
Msgr. Roger Landry, 55, a prominent conservative U.S. priest, has been restricted from public ministry following non-sexual misconduct allegations by “multiple individuals.” The Diocese of Fall River said on September 11 that the allegations involve adults and possible violations of priestly codes of conduct in both Fall River and the Archdiocese of New York. After an initial investigation in New York, the diocese said there was “sufficient evidence” to impose restrictions while the case continues. Landry, who has also celebrated the traditional Roman Rite, denies wrongdoing. He says the accusations essentially concern alleged boundary violations between spiritual direction and friendship.
The Diocese of Fall River, Mass., announced Friday that Msgr. Roger Landry has been restricted from public ministry after allegations of misconduct were made against the priest by 'multiple individuals.'
“The different religions […] offer a valuable contribution to the construction of fraternity,” Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, said on September 10 at the Buenos Aires City Legislature. Koovakad constructs a “Father of all”: “Interreligious dialogue offers us the possibility of opening ourselves to the Father of all.” He later added: “Together, the State, religions and the Catholic Church, we can share a common language [...].”
El 10 de septiembre de 2026, el cardenal George Jacob Koovakad, prefecto del Dicasterio para el Diálogo Interreligioso del Vaticano, pronunció unas palabras en el Salón Dorado de la Legislatura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: “Las distintas religiones, a partir de la valoración de cada persona humana como criatura llamada a ser hijo o hija de Dios, ofrecen un aporte valioso para la construcción de la fraternidad y para la defensa de la justicia en la sociedad.” “El diálogo interreligioso nos ofrece la posibilidad de abrirnos al Padre de todos. Sin esta apertura, al Padre de todos, no habrá razones sólidas y estables para llamar a vivir la experiencia de fraternidad a nuestros semejantes.” “Por eso mi presencia hoy aquí es la de un hermano para afirmar y reconocer que juntos Estado, religiones y Iglesia Católica podemos compartir un lenguaje común y trabajar por construir sobre valores, el respeto, la dignidad y el bien común.”

Israeli Settler Who Attacked French Catholic Nun Acquitted The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court has acquitted Yona Simcha Schreiber, 36, of criminal responsibility for a violent attack on a French Catholic nun in April. The court accepted psychiatric evidence that he was psychotic at the time of the assault. He could neither understand the nature of his actions nor control them, the court ruled. He was ordered to undergo compulsory psychiatric hospitalization for up to six years. The attack occurred on Mount Zion, near King David’s Tomb outside Jerusalem’s Old City. Security footage showed Schreiber running toward the 48-year-old nun from behind and knocking her violently to the ground, causing her head to strike the stone pavement. Schreiber initially walked away before returning and kicking the nun while she remained on the ground. He also assaulted a passerby who attempted to intervene. The victim is a researcher at the Dominican-run École Biblique et Archéologique Française de Jérusalem. …Zaidi

A Lebanese-born priest, he has spent much of his ministry in the United States. Archbishop Maroun, 64, was elected by the Synod of Bishops of the Maronite Church.

Leo XIV’s Prayer Intention Is … for the Care of Water: In September 2026, Leo XIV invites Catholics around the world to pray for the care of water. In his monthly prayer intention, he reminds Christians that access to clean water should be a right. “We beg forgiveness that it has been turned into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders.” He encourages Christians to reject waste and pollution and to use natural resources responsibly. Caring for water, he says, is both an expression of love for creation and an act of solidarity with the poor.
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of September is to pray for care of water: “Lord of Life, you have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We thank you because it is also a symbol of your grace and love that renews us through baptism. Today, we ask you to teach us to safeguard it with gratitude, justice, and responsibility. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. We see with pain, so many brothers and sisters, who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. May your Spirit make us pilgrims of the essential, able to live with simplicity, denouncing waste and pollution, defending the right of every brother and sister to drink without fear and without inequality. May our care for water, be a sign of love for the Creator, and a commitment to the lives of …Zaidi
