By Dawn Beutner, Catholic World Report - ...throughout history, there have been four men who have reigned in such an extraordinary way that the Catholic laity have spontaneously given them the title of “the Great” after their deaths... the great popes can teach us important lessons about how an ordinary man can become an extraordinary pope, by God’s grace. Specifically, Popes Leo I, Gregory I, Nicholas I, and John Paul II show that a man can be a strong leader, a great man, and a faithful Catholic while bearing the heavy responsibility of being the chief shepherd of the Church of Jesus Christ.

By Stephen Kokx, LifeSiteNews - San Francisco Abp. Salvatore Cordileone is urging priests to support laity who want to receive Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling... a growing number of social media users have jumped into action to call for more reverent liturgical practices, seemingly to let the cardinals know their preferences as the coming conclave on May 7 draws near... Yesterday, Catholic Arena shared a video of Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze at a 2003 conference held in Louisville. The video has been circulating on social media for years... Archbishop Cordileone reshared the video to his own account, while asking his followers: “Why don’t you kneel? If kneelers are not provided only the very young with healthy knees can kneel.”
