The cause for sainthood for Australian-born doctor and missionary in India Mary Glowrey has advanced after Pope Leo XIV recognised her ‘heroic virtues’ on 21 November 2025.

At a time when young people spend so much time in "digital environments," members of the Catholic Biblical Federation need to ask how they are fulfilling the Second Vatican Council's mandate to give everyone access to the Bible, Pope Leo XIV said.

The apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te ("I Have Loved You") on the church's love for the poor, "is Pope Leo's document. It is the magisterium of the church," although Pope Leo himself wrote that it was begun by Pope Francis, said Cardinal Michael Czerny.

Clerical sexual abuse continues to be "a real crisis," one that the Catholic Church still must learn to deal with, particularly in improving the way it helps survivors while also ensuring the rights of the accused are respected, Pope Leo XIV said.

Bishop Daniel Meagher says the Archdiocese of Sydney is well aligned with the Vatican’s guidelines for the implementation phase of the Synod on Synodality, with Catholics invited to take part in consultation sessions in August and October.

So, will it be lawful to be Christian in 2050? If we sit on our hands, we have no assurance of this. If we commit to succession planning, then we have hope.

Four of the 27 German diocesan bishops have opted out of the ongoing mess known as the Synodaler Weg or “synodal way.”

It seems highly likely the Holy Father will join us when Sydney hosts the International Eucharist Congress in 2028. Like his predecessor of the same name, Pope Leo XIV will be praying we commit to better knowing, loving and serving Jesus long before the celebrations begin.
