“His presence brings prestige to our nation and to the entire Group of 7. It is the first time that a pope will participate in the work of the G7,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said.

Robots can give you facts. But they can’t give you faith.
“Irena’s Vow” is true story of a Catholic nurse who used her position to shelter a dozen Jews in World War II-era Poland.
Here is the rub. The diocese gave this money to parishes so the diocese could avoid paying victims of abuse. To add insult to injury the diocese then proceeds to declare bankruptcy. One can see how the dumbest prosecutor would see that he has a real strong case here. It will be very interesting to see the breakdown of that money and what necessity it covered in the chosen parishes. And who were the pastors and other persona involved. Dolan inherited a diocese (NY) which is notorius for its lack of transparency. Seem Rome knew who to choose to succeed the arrogant Egan.
I want to withheld judgement. But Dolan admitted that the funds went to parishes. Most parishes always need money. That amount of money is unprecedented to say the least. The timing is very suspect. Especially, when the diocese followed with the banruptcy proceeding. At any rate I agree with your call for mercy. Miserere nobis!
