By Tessa Gervasini, EWTN New - Lai, Catholic entrepreneur and media tycoon, was sentenced over what Chinese officials claim were national security violations... "The Hong Kong High Court’s decision to sentence Jimmy Lai to 20 years is an unjust and tragic conclusion to this case,” said U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio... Jimmy Lai, Catholic entrepreneur and media tycoon, was sentenced on Feb. 9 to 20 years in prison over what Chinese officials claim were national security violations... The sentencing comes after Lai’s December 2025 conviction, which ended several years of what advocates have described as a politically motivated show trial.

By Aurelio Porfiri, OnePeterFive - I do not know whether you share this impression, but when one looks at the current situation of the liturgy, it seems to resemble that of a “Mexican standoff.” This expression, perhaps coined in the nineteenth century, refers to a situation in which three or more contenders hold each other at gunpoint in a state of great tension, where anyone may emerge as the winner or the loser... Of course, in our case not all the “contenders” are on the same level. There are those liturgists who view the liturgical reform of Vatican II as a break with the past, inspired by the hermeneutic promoted by the so-called “Bologna School.” Unfortunately, this interpretation has prevailed for decades, even though it is intrinsically false.
