Vatican Analyst: Pope’s New Preacher Teaches ‘Rainbow Bible’, by Louis Knuffke

By Louis Knuffke, CatholicVote - Vatican analyst Luisella Scrosati has raised concerns over Pope Francis’ appointment of Capuchin Friar Roberto Pasolini as the new Preacher of the Papal Household.... Fr. Pasolini’s recent theological positions on homosexuality form the crux of Scrosati’s critique. The new preacher has suggested, for instance, that certain Biblical relationships — such as those between Jonathan and David or the Roman centurion and his servant — could be interpreted as alluding to homosexual love. Pasolini’s arguments, Scrosati contends, rely on “pure fantasy” rather than sound exegesis.

A Prophet Among Bishops, by Kevin Wells

By Kevin Wells, Crisis Magazine - Bishop Strickland knows that what appears “losing’ in this world is actually the Lord’s way of “winning.” Those who engage in the necessary and relentless work of shouldering Christ’s Cross are those closest to the agonized face of Ecce Homo. Bishop Strickland’s home now, in a real way, are the forlorn places in the landscapes of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. It is at those brokenhearted stations where his might and power grow. Why? Because he’s huddled closely to the broken-bodied Christ, who, like him, had nowhere to lay His head.

Saint of the Day for November 16: St. Margaret of Scotland

Not Scottish by birth, Margaret was the daughter of Princess Agatha of Hungary and the Anglo-Saxon Prince Edward Atheling. She spent much of her youth in the court of her great-uncle, the English king, Edward the Confessor.

Judge Grants Injunction Against Louisiana Law Requiring Ten Commandments in Schools, by Rachel Quackenbush

By Rachel Quackenbush - A federal judge has issued an injunction, blocking the implementation of a Louisiana law that would have required public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments... The November 12 injunction is the latest development with the state’s House Bill 71. As CatholicVote previously reported, Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed the bill in June, requiring every public classroom in the state to display the Ten Commandments... HB71 references the Supreme Court case Van Orden v. Perry, in which the court ruled that displaying the Ten Commandments on government property is permissible.
