By Charles Collins, Crux, (Catholic Herald) - Pope Leo XIV urged Catholics not to delay the pursuit of their faith while also cautioning them about succumbing to the indignities of more aggressive forms of capitalism during his Wednesday General Audience... He was speaking about the parable on the labourers in the vineyard that Jesus gives in the Gospel of Matthew, when the landowner hires people at different hours of the day but still gives them all the same wages.

By Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register - A significant early challenge for Pope Leo XIV will be how he chooses to handle the restrictions that Pope Francis placed on the traditional Latin Mass (TLM)... Since Pope Francis issued his apostolic letter Traditionis Custodes (Guardians of Tradition) in July 2021, the freedom to celebrate the pre-1970 Mass has been curtailed — severely in some cases — with the long-term aim of allowing only the new Mass... Cardinals, bishops, priests and many of the laity, including some who do not attend the TLM, have strenuously opposed the restrictions, seeing the clampdown as callous, unjust and needlessly divisive rather than unifying.
