Saint Joseph Catholic Church

“The Archbishop of Canterbury categorically did not say—or suggest—that the ban on women’s ordination in the Catholic Church is ‘an injustice,’” Lambeth Palace said in a statement.

The statement “further explains that an interview given by Sarah Mullally to PA Media while in Rome was manipulated by a YouTube channel, APT, in a way that substantially and materially altered its meaning,” The Catholic Herald reported. “This was then picked up by a number of media outlets.”

“We are living through a period of rapid transformation,” wrote Bishop Tim Harris of Townsville. “In this changing environment, it is vital that we recognize and promote diverse pathways into work. Apprenticeships, trades, and technical vocations are essential to our society and deserve greater recognition and support.”

“St, Joseph himself was a tradesman,” Bishop Harris added. “St. Joseph was also a mentor. He accompanied Jesus with patience, wisdom, and quiet strength, showing us the importance of guidance and formation. Today, young people need mentors in families, workplaces, parishes, and communities—people who will walk alongside them, offering encouragement and direction.”

The U.S. Department of Justice released a new report, “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government,” that found that “the Biden Administration’s prosecutions, policies, and practices demonstrated anti-Christian bias throughout the federal government.”

“The university must recover the capacity to address students in a language of hope,” Bishop Barron said. “The point of such language is not to evade the reality of suffering or injustice, but to refuse the pedagogy of despair.”

“A truly humane education affirms that truth is not a mere construct, that beauty is not reducible to private sentiment or self-expression, and that goodness is not simply a function of power or consensus,” he added. “It assures students that their desire to understand is both real and just, and that to take this desire seriously is not naivete but the beginning of wisdom.”

Pope Leo XIV received officials of the Archdiocese of Cologne’s Office for the Universal Church and Dialogue and thanked them for the office’s fifty-year legacy of charitable assistance to Christians around the world, including oxygen machines for the Pope’s former Peruvian diocese during the COVID pandemic.

In a video associated with his May 2026 prayer intention, Pope Leo XIV prayed that we may learn to share our food with those in need.
