Altchristlicher Brauch: beim Begräbnis eines Märtyrers zu tanzen. Er war ein Märtyrer der Nächstenliebe, weil er Verletzten helfen wollte. Freilich hatte Israel gebeten, die Gegend für kurze Zeit zu meiden. Israel wollte den Tod von Bürgern vermeiden.
Tisíce ľudí sa zhromaždili v južnom Libanone na zádušnej omši za pátra Pierra El-Rahiho, maronitského katolíckeho kňaza, ktorý bol zabitý počas izraelského ostreľovania začiatkom tohto týždňa. Napriek varovaniam o evakuácii farár z Qlayaa údajne odmietol opustiť svoju komunitu. Bol smrteľne zranený po tom, ako sa vrátil na pomoc zraneným pri delostreleckom útoku. Kostol bol plný smútiacich, duchovných a miestnych obyvateľov, ktorí sa prišli pomodliť za jeho dušu.

St. Catherine of Siena: Her final words were a plea for the Church and a commendation of her soul: "Blood! Blood!…More

Bishop Schneider: "Therefore, I think that, if the excommunication would be applied, it would be in some way not valid because there is no intention to do a schismatic act on the side of the Society of Pius X, and you cannot be punished when you have not the intention to do it, according to the canon law."
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, the Holy See’s former Apostolic Visitor to the Society of Saint Pius X, has opined that any excommunication which the Society may be handed following the upcoming episcopal consecrations would be invalid.

Das Militärordinariat lehnte eine Totenmesse für Tejero in der Kathedrale der Streitkräfte ab, um politische Symbolik zu vermeiden. Ein Requiem dient jedoch dem Gebet für die Seele des Verstorbenen und dem Trost der Lebenden. Das Requiem für einen homosexuellen Offizier war kein Problem.
Erzbischof Juan Antonio Aznárez Cobo, 65, vom Militärordinariat Spaniens, hat die Erlaubnis verweigert, die Trauerfeierlichkeiten für Antonio Tejero Molina in der Kathedrale der Streitkräfte in Madrid abzuhalten. Keine kanonische Erklärung Monsignore Aznárez Cobo teilte der Familie Tejero persönlich mit, dass die für den 25. März geplante Beerdigung in der Kathedrale nicht erlaubt sei. In einer Erklärung, die über ihren Anwalt herausgegeben wurde, drückte die Familie "tiefe Trauer und Ratlosigkeit" aus und stellte fest, dass keine kirchenrechtliche Erklärung für diese Entscheidung gegeben wurde. Sie betonten, dass katholische Beerdigungen keine Urteile über das Leben eines Menschen sind, sondern vielmehr Gebete für die Seele des Verstorbenen und eine Quelle des Trostes für die Trauernden. Die Figur des Antonio Tejero Als Oberstleutnant führte Tejero während des spanischen Putschversuchs 1981 die bewaffnete Erstürmung des spanischen Parlaments an. Er unterstützte das franquistische …More
While greeting families and children gathered outside the parish of Santa Maria della Presentazione in Rome, Pope Leo XIV paused and invited the catechism children and those present to pray the Our Father together. “We will continue to greet each other,” he told them, “but first we can pray for a moment and receive the blessing from God.” The Holy Father then gave his Apostolic Blessing before continuing his pastoral visit.
