Vatican

The Vatican revealed that the pope and president discussed “the good existing bilateral relations” between the Holy See and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and expressed “satisfaction” at the ratification of the framework agreement between the two countries on matters of mutual interest.

A TV review is not, perhaps, the forum to determine that, but it should be noted that God is ever present.

Protecting human life is the "preeminent" social and political issue, Pope Francis said.

This week on “Inside the Vatican,” the hosts dedicate the entire episode to the questions surrounding the new book From the Depths of Our Hearts.

The pope has named Francesca Di Giovanni, an Italian lay woman, to be the second undersecretary of the secretariat’s Section for the Relations with States.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI did not co-author the book ‘From the Depths of Our Hearts’ with Cardinal Robert Sarah and asked to have his name removed as co-author, according to Archbishop Georg Gänswein.
