Dom Josep Maria Canals i Lamiel, the “Dynamite Priest” who became a Carthusian monk, died on 18 September, aged 96. Known for his energetic ministry among working-class communities, he entered the Grande Chartreuse at 55 and later Montalegre, becoming prior at 87. When the monastery once faced possible closure, Canals said he prayed before Our Lady of Lourdes and offered his own life so that Montalegre would not be abandoned. He remained there until his death.

After more than four centuries, the Dominicans have left the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Las Caldas de Besaya in Cantabria, Spain. Last Sunday, the Dominicans formally entrusted the sanctuary to the Diocese of Santander. The church will remain a place of worship. The property continues to belong to the Dominicans. But the resident Dominican community - once one of the Order’s important houses in Spain - has come to an end. The scale of the change is captured by Fr. Francisco García Ortega OP, the last superior of the community. He entered the Dominican Order at Las Caldas 55 years ago, aged 17. At the time, the sanctuary housed Dominican philosophical studies. “We were more than 200 friars, and now we are only two,” García Ortega told DiocesisDeSantander.com. Those two are García Ortega and Fr. Fernando Serrano Pérez OP, who has served at Las Caldas for about 30 years. The Dominicans first came to Las Caldas in the early 17th century. Fr García Ortega noted that during four centuries …More
Opus Dei has rejected claims that it took the historic Virgin of Torreciudad in Spain without permission. The Diocese of Barbastro-Monzón owns the statue, but Opus Dei says agreements from 1962 and 1966 allowed it to care for the image and move it to the new Torreciudad church. It has remained there since 1975. Bishop Ángel Pérez Pueyo wants the statue returned to the old hermitage. Opus Dei says a 1966 notarial document shows that the move was authorized. The old hermitage and the new church are only a few metres apart at the same Torreciudad site. What began as a legal disagreement over old agreements and the statue’s location has developed into an increasingly bitter and personal Church dispute.

Vatican concludes “reflection process” with bi-ritual congregation SJM. The Vatican has formally concluded a multi-year reflection process involving the Servants of Jesus and Mary (SJM), a Catholic religious congregation in Austria, founded in 1988. The community celebrates both the Novus Ordo and the traditional Roman rite. It remains closely associated with the Catholic Scouts of Europe (KPE). The Vatican’s process began in late 2022, when it appointed former abbot Raimund Schreier as Apostolic Assistant. His task was to “accompany” the SJM for a period originally planned to last three years. The community examined its history, internal structures, self-understanding and its founder, former Jesuit Andreas Hönisch. In June, the community and the Apostolic Assistant submitted the relevant documents to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Religious. It has now declared the process concluded. According to the SJM, the dicastery encouraged the congregation to: - “continue promoting an open culture …More

Cavadini will be awarded with the 2026 Ratzinger Prize, announced today by the Joseph Ratzinger–Benedict XVI Vatican Foundation. Pope Leo XIV will present the prize on December 19 at the Apostolic Palace. Cavadini, a professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, has written extensively on Ratzinger. Benedict XVI. appointed him to the International Theological Commission in 2009.

In 2022, the three "conservatives" Cavadini, Mary Healy and Fr Thomas Weinandy published a series in Notre Dame’s Church Life Journal on the post-Vatican II liturgical reform. “In normalizing the Tridentine Mass, Benedict undermined the principle by which, as he himself insists, Vatican II must be interpreted: a hermeneutic of continuity,” they wrote. They went further …More
