A Reflection for Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent, by Cristobal Spielmann

Pope Francis continues his audiences on evangelization: It is always an "ecclesial service, never solitary, never isolated, never individualistic."

A Catholic university in Ohio is making alternate arrangements for students to attend what is commonly called the “traditional Latin Mass,” after the local bishop implemented recently issued restrictions from the Vatican.

How does Pope Francis understand what he’s doing? We could argue that these past 10 years have been a journey of reception and implementation of Vatican II.

“Top-down” ecumenism has not reduced the distance between the Catholic church and other churches. We need grassroots ecumenical relationships now.

Pope Francis has renewed the Council of Cardinal Advisors that he first established soon after his election on March 13, 2013, to assist him in the governance of the universal church.
