By McKenna Snow, Catholic Vote - A Kentucky priest who grew up in Texas has offered to fully cover the funeral costs for any parent who lost a child to the devastating flash floods from the Guadalupe River last week, saying in his offer to the grieving families: “You are not alone.”... The death toll from the July 4 flooding has climbed to 120, according to a report updated July 10 from AccuWeather.

By Diane Montagna, Substack - More evidence has come to light confirming the authenticity of the sections I published last week from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s final report on its 2020 survey of bishops concerning the implementation of Summorum Pontificum, Benedict XVI’s 2007 apostolic letter liberalizing the traditional Roman liturgy... The sections I published on July 1 comprised the CDF report’s overall assessment of the survey results and a collection of quotations from bishops that were meant to give Pope Francis an overall representation of their responses.
