Today, Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Giorgio Ferretti of Foggia-Bovino, Italy, additionally as bishop of Lucera-Troia.

Francis appointed him Archbishop of Foggia-Bovino in November 2023. Supports big mosque in his city In March 2024, Ferretti wrote to Muslims that Ramadan urges an interior “return to God”.

As bishop, Ferretti has participated every year in diocesan Caritas meals celebrating the end of Ramadan (pictured). …More

Pope Leo XIV spoke during a Eucharist in St. Peter’s Basilica marking the opening of the 2026–2027 academic year for Rome’s Pontifical Universities. He said: “In every age, there is no shortage of false teachers who exploit the religious sentiments of many believers for their own interests, often pushing them to radicalize certain aspects of the teaching they have received at the expense of the whole — the whole, which is Christ and his Gospel.” Leo XIV then invented a Church’s responsibility for both “to safeguard” the revelation but also “to develop, within diverse contexts, a prayerful understanding of it”. #newsCulbilpxew

If you stripped away the cowardice of this age and listened to the unyielding voice of the ancient Fathers—confirmed and systematically sealed by the angelic doctor Thomas Aquinas—you would see why your dwellings are falling into the dust. You have committed a double rebellion …More
