By Father Raymond J. de Souza,  National Catholic Register - The most recent rebuke — thoughtfully expressed and respectfully made — to the exercise of the magisterium by Pope Francis came from the highly respected Capuchin Father Thomas Weinandy, who served from 2005 to 2013 as the executive director of the American bishops’ Committee on Doctrine.

By Jean M. Heimann, EWTN News - “We are created for the Beatific Vision — heaven for all eternity with the Blessed Trinity — the God from whom we are called to return.”  Father of Mercy Wade Menezes shares this truth in his enlightening and uplifting book on eschatology, The Four Last Things: A Catechetical Guide to Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell.

Dwight Longenecker - To show how the media constantly gets things wrong check this out: Pope Francis asks the Brazilian bishops to bring forward a proposal to ease the terrible shortage of priests in remote areas. The suggestion is that older married men–catechists or deacons–who are already ministering to outlying Catholic populations, might be ordained as priests… These are.. “tested older men”.
