One news source I saw this morning says that the theologians who are consultants for the Congregation for Causes of Saints have put their stamp of approval on a second miracle for Bl. John Paul II.Without going into details (you can read the story I saw HERE), the process for a claimed miracle has to get experts in to study the claim that what happened (a cure, protection from harm, etc) is truly beyond our ability to explain in merely material, natural terms

Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association and Canadian Society for Palliative Care Physicians urge Canadians to Talk About Hospice Palliative Care First The French version follows after the english verison.(June 13, 2013) Ottawa, ON – Yesterday in the Quebec National Assembly, the Dying with Dignity Bill 52 was tabled by the Minister for Social Services and Youth Protection Véronique Hivon. Although the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) and the Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians (CSPCP) applaud the commitment to improve and implement hospice palliative care standards across Quebec, they believe that Canadians need to ensure that there is universal access to quality hospice palliative care before any introduction of medical aid in dying, more commonly referred to as euthanasia.

Is this the Per Ipsum? Before I go any further, I am a great fan of so much of what our Holy Father has to say, especially about the poor, economics and the environment, at least in its reconstituted Vaticanese form, I am a bit uncomfortable with that cameraman that now has a permanent place on the back of the Popemobile but it has become pretty obvious that the Supreme Legislator does not consider the rubrics of the liturgy are that important, in fact it seems as if they can be ignored, or changed at will.Benedict taught the liturgy was “a given”, we read the black and did the red, Francis seems to be less precise about these things, his liturgy is “emancipated”, as he descibes it.

Vatican City, 19 June 2013 (VIS) – Pope Francis dedicated his catechesis of the Wednesday general audience to the expression “of the body” that the Second Vatican Council used to indicate the nature of the Church: the Church is the body of Christ. The Pope recalled the text of the conversion of Saul, who became Paul, in order to explain how the Apostle, with that experience, tells us how profound the union between Christians and Christ is.
